A friend is saying jimmy johns is nothing like subway and is a completely different place, do you agree?? [edit] Is it more like blimpies?
Subway does hot and cold subs with no delivery. Jimmy John's is strictly cold subs and fast delivery. The hot and cold sub thing is the key there. [editline]7th February 2018[/editline] Also, Subway is a bit more creative with their subs and what they make. Jimmy John's is pretty standard sub ingredients.
Jimmy John's is really limited in your ingredients too. Hope you like provolone cheese on any sandwich you order! Also the Jimmy Johns in my town got shut down cause the owner got arrested for Tax Evasion lol
no, jimmy johns is a good sub place
subway ingredients are 60% rat piss and jimmy johns makes good sandwiches
jimmy johns only serves cold sandwiches. you know what else you eat cold? rotting garbage.
I mean, they're both sub sandwich shops, but Jimmy John's is way higher quality.
I mean similar, sure. But that's on the same lines as saying McDonalds is like Burger King and Wendy's. Sure they serve similar food but the taste is entirely different. JJ's has fewer ingredients to work with but it's a lot more streamlined to order. Give them the number corresponding with the sandwich, tell them which toppings you want removed/added to deviate from the norm and it'll be done in 10-15 seconds (assuming the staff knows their stuff). Just make sure you know what you want because the staff can easily finish making your sandwich before you're done ordering if you try changing your mind. At Subway there are a lot more ingredients and a lot more options, but there's no standard fare sandwich so each one needs to be meticulously put together 1 ingredient at a time asking what you want on the thing. If you have a line in front of you, you might as well get a chair since it's gonna be a while. JJ's bread is also more firm, which means it works well if you need to take lunch on the go (or you only finish half and want the rest for later). It won't fall apart if you glare at it the wrong way. I'd still opt for Jersey Mike's or Firehouse over either of them, though.
I'm really going to have to try Jimmy Johns when it opens in my town this year. I used to eat Subway a lot, but the ingredients started disagreeing with me.
Jimmy Johns may feel a bit more standard in terms of variety, but it feels a lot more quality than Subway [editline]8th February 2018[/editline] Also their day old bread is great.
Jimmy John's has far less customization of your sandwiches but tends to put out really good sammies that have good ingredients. No, they don't toast anything, but their meats are tasty and they don't drown your sandwich in sauce most of the time. Honest to god some of the best chain sandwiches and I just love the experience.

Jimmy John's is what people who wear khakis and logo'd flare collar golf shirts and only imagine having sex in the missionary position once every six months eat, and they're overpriced on top. 9 out of 10 there's a local place even in small towns that kicks the shit out of either restaurant, and for towns that there aren't there's Firehouse, Stewarts or McAlister's. Hell, I'd eat at a Schlotzky's before being caught dead in Jimmy John's.

We don't have Jimmy Johns here though or any big sandwich based franchise.

Firehouse Subs are better than both. though to be honest i still go to subway on occasion
[QUOTE=TerrorShield;53116685]Firehouse Subs are better than both. though to be honest i still go to subway on occasion[/QUOTE] Firehouse Subs is fantastic and definitely outclasses the other two, but damn it's expensive. There's one of those along with a Jimmy John's [I]and[/I] a Subway all within roughly the same walking distance of my house, so I can easily decide if I want an expensive but great sandwich (Firehouse Subs), medium-cost good sandwich (Jimmy John's), or a cheap decent sandwich (Subway).
Last time I had Jimmy John's I was at Otakon2014 and I was sick for the whole trip afterwards would not recommend.
Completely different. It just really depends what you are in the mood for.
Jimmy Johns for life. A Big John is too good to pass up at lunch break.
The sandwiches at Jimmy Johns are just [I]better[/I]
[QUOTE=Revenge282;53116499]Subway does hot and cold subs with no delivery. Jimmy John's is strictly cold subs and fast delivery.[/QUOTE] I mean to be fair if you live more than two miles away they're no delivery too. Hence why it's so "fast." [editline]a[/editline] Also why I fucking hate them. I did the calculations and it'd take them around three extra minutes to deliver to my house, so they won't. Yet, they shit up my Hulu shows with their ads about how fast their delivery is. [editline]a[/editline] Jersey Mikes is a million times better anyway.
Jimmy John's subs are good, but the fact that you can buy 13 feet worth of one-day-old bread for $5 is even better, from the perspective of a college student.
I've had good and bad experiences at both places. I thought Jimmy Johns would be better than Subway all the time but surprisingly isn't
Let me tell you something. First, some backstory. I used to think Subway was the place to go for sandwiches. The only place was home. One summer afternoon, I was sitting in my house. I had just recently started living there with my family, and I decided to explore some options for food delivery. I was tired of the same old Pizza Hut or down-the-road Chinese food place. Plus, even for something as small as Chinese food, you'd be paying upwards of fifteen dollars, and similar with any pizza place (with decent coupons). But something caught my eye. A name so unremarkable to me then that would revolutionize my mother fucking life. Within about two miles, there was a place called Jimmy Johns. The famous "freaky fast" mannerism did not even associate with the name, even though I had heard it before. On a whim, I decided to try it. Later that very same month, I experienced addiction. When I laid eyes upon the sandwich they delivered straight to my door, it wasn't immediately a stand-out. But then I put that shit in my mouth. It's on a whole nother' mother-fucking level. If you haven't had Jimmy John's before reading this, order now. Its so fast that if you had ordered by the time you started reading, it'd already be on the way if not at your door. I've spent at least one-hundred and fifty dollars on Jimmy Johns in the past six months alone, with my average order being approximately ten dollars, not only is that shit more affordable than your shitty 15 dollar meal from Wong-Kong Suk, it is about as expensive as your Jared-fogle lookin' fuckin' ass Subway sandwich. And that is with a Cookie and Chips, bitch. Whenever I go to Subway, they want to charge me that "Five dollar" foot long plus another five fucking bucks for toppings and chips. "No cookie at ten bucks for you, cunt," Jared Fogle whispers to you from behind his cell bars. Not only is Jimmy Johns gonna give you your fucking sandwich with TOP-tier ingredients, they're gonna give you chips AND a cookie with it too. And that shit doesn't end there mother fucker, because thats delivery price. There isn't a delivery fee, because they simply mark up each item a certain amount for delivery. Wherever the fuck Jimmy John is right now, that mother fucking genius hasn't lost touch with his fucking origin story of being a college student. Believe me, you don't heed my words, fine. But you'll hear the laughs of Jared Fogle in the back of your mind as you sit depressed in the corner of a shitty Subway eating your greasy ass pepperoni sandwich with your brought-from-home two liter of Mountain Lightning™ and wish you fucking heeded my words. Jimmy Johns is a god damn PLEASURE to eat, and anyone who says otherwise is a god damn liar. Jimmy John's is not only a goddamn miracle, it's a fucking generous one WITHOUT sacrificing taste. You're not missing much from the "toasted" subs from Subway, who might as well be blowing your fucking sandwiches with a hair drier. Go to fucking Firehouse Subs if you want some hot sandwich action. To wrap this up finally, don't let Subway trick you with it's bullshit. The motherfucking cookie at Jimmy Johns alone is so much more dense and delicious than Subshit Sandwiches Inc. cookies that you'll wish you had never spent the countless dollars on Shitway Hairdrier-Cooked Shitbread and instead had spent it on Jimmy John's god damn miracle-masterpieces of affordable delivery and pick-up eating. I legitimately cannot eat Subway's gross bullshit anymore because Jimmy John's is just THAT good if you eat sandwiches like I do. If Subway was a vibrator, it wouldn't come with batteries and the motor housing would have rattled itself out during shipping. Jimmy John's isn't like that, because after you've really tried Jimmy John's, you won't need a fucking vibrator because just the sight of the fucking BAG that they bring it to you in will make you fucking cum. Jimmy John's isn't similar to Subway. Jimmy John's is on top of the motherfucking mountain. Jimmy John's changed my god damn life. [editline]8th February 2018[/editline] Also, if you don't like the provolone, you can go home and put your shitty ass American cheese on yourself, bitch. IMO don't fuck with perfection, bitch.
Subway < Jimmy Johns < Jersey Mike's = Firehouse Subs. Jimmy Johns is built more like a fast food joint than the other sandwich places. You place your order, and your sandwich gets thrown together in a few seconds and you can be out of the door in under three minutes. Very limited ingredient selection. Boring ol' sandwiches, but they taste fine. Subway and Jersey Mike's have highly customizable sandwiches with lots of ingredients to choose from. Service is slower, and they typically don't offer delivery. Subway is the cheapest and pretty low quality. Jersey Mikes actually cooks the food when you order it, and the meat and the cheese is sliced only once the sandwich is ordered, so it's [I]very[/I] fresh. Pretty expensive, however. Firehouse specializes in hot subs, they've got a decent selection of ingredients & hot sauces. Normally pretty pricey, but they often have monthly promotions that are [I]amazing[/I] deals.
Personally I find it more economical and better quality to buy cold cuts and such from the store and make my own sandwiches. You get total control over what goes on it. You can get like 3 or more sandwiches out of one trip depending on how much you buy and they cost less overall. I also can't really comment because last time I had a sandwich from a chain sandwich shop was when I was 10 and we stopped at a Blimpies.

I like jimmy johns, just wish they had hot sandwhiches too. Which which is also a good place because you grab a bag and tick all the items you want before ordering.
