Jimmy John's describes itself as ""The World's Greatest Gourmet Sandwiches"". True? No - not really. They aren't bad though. The bread is chewy. Good french bread is supposed to be chewy; and if your elderly jaws can't chew so well anymore, Subway might be a better option for you.\r

One thing I did notice right away - good quality meat. The roast beef is a fine medium rare. I don't know what brand they are using, but the quality of the meats is right up there with Boar's Head. I do wish they'd use a little bit more of this meat on their sandwiches. Although the meat ratio was fine on the Italian ""Vito"" sandwich, it was lacking on the ""Big John"" roast beef, and they didn't have any horseradish sauce. Extra meat is available on any sandwich for $1.50 more.\r

The Tuna is Chicken of the Sea chunk and not White Albacore. \r

Subs are $4.50, the combo takes it to around $6. Service during the lunch rush (the only time I've been there) is fast., under 5 minutes from ordering to eating.\r
\r
Besides subs they also have ""Giant Club Sandwiches"" for $5.50, but I haven't tried one of these yet.\r
\r
Extras are cookies, chips and pickle spears. Coke fountain products.
Pros: Fast, great quality meats, fresh bread.
Cons: Pretty small menu, no horseradish sauce for roast beef.
