Jimmy John's Gourmet Sandwiches, 110 E. Lincoln Way
"Freeky Fast! Freaky Good"
Went to Jimmy John's Gourmet Sandwich shop today (photo to be added tomorrow.)
The shop is on the very edge of the downtown buisness district, and they deliver.
Ambiance - lousy. They were playing rock and roll rather than rap, so that was ok. Unfortunately the rock and roll was just too damn loud. I could only stand about 5 minutes of it before I took the rest of my sandwich and left to sit in my car to finish it.
It's like a Subway shop, but you don't get to choose all of your fixings. Any sandwich you order comes only with specific things, anything extra costs extra.
So I ordered a Turkey Tom - without the tomato, but with cheese. They charged me 50 cents for the cheese, but no discount for not getting a tomato!
No choices of breads - or at least, I wasn't asked to give a choice. THat's what makes Subway so good, they've got 5 or 6 different kinds of breads, 5 or 6 different kinds of sauces, and they have chicken breast.
Having said that, the sandwich was very good. The white bread bun/hoagy roll (whatever the technical term is) seemed freshly baked and had a slightly crisp crust and soft interior, lots of turkey (although sliced thin, not an actual cut piece of turkey - but then I dont' think any sandwich shop has that) lettuce, and mayonaise. (Would have been better with black olive...but that's a Subway thing.)
Anyway, overall I'd give the Jimmy Johns Gourmet Sandwich a 7 out of 10, with Subway being a 10 out of 10. Subway has a lot more variety, and a much quieter store in which to eat.
