    Food: While the ingredients were fresh, the flavor just wasn't there. The ratio of ingredients to bread/tortilla is pretty off as well. The entire inside of the sandwich would fall out with every bite; it was pretty frustrating. Same goes for the wrap. It was overstuffed (normally not a bad thing), so each bite resulted in the inside falling out as well as the torn tortilla, which made it almost impossible to hold to eat. The meat was dry (chicken and roast beef), so both items could've done with a bit more sauce/flavor and the sandwich was supposed to be toasted; they didn't toast it :/ The price point for the quality of food just isn't there. It's overpriced for subpar food. Service: Possibly all of the employees said "Welcome to Jimmy John's" as we entered. One employee in particular (a slightly older gentleman) was really welcoming and said hello as we approached the counter. The other employees didn't really look up much, besides one young lady (possibly a trainee), who seemed really irritated with our presence. Every time she made eye contact, she looked annoyed with us. Our food came out quickly though. It came out wrong, but quick. Ambiance: Overall, it was loud. No matter the spot inside, it was loud in there. The seating areas weren't really cleaned well (if at all?) with food debris scattered about; we wiped a booth down to sit and eat. We didn't get any pictures of our food because we really just wanted to leave. It was uncomfortable eating there.

    So sad that the drive thru wait was over 20 mins, service was dismissive, and I got the wrong sandwich. Didn’t know it til I unwrapped it at home. C’mon JJ’s, do better please

    Been here a few times and the food is great! Unfortunately, the orders are often mixed up or they forget certain requests. Overall, I feel as though it is a good place to eat. I would just ensure you check your order for accuracy if you are going through the drive thru or picking up an order.
