JJ opened here months ago. There was alot of hype about how delicious JJs food was but I've never seen more than 2 cars there any time of day. I havent tried the food yet. JJ food opinions?

Below average sandwich for a fair price, they don't treat their workers very well so I try to avoid them
JJ's sucks. Meat is just a rumor. Go find a deli at a good grocery store and you will get a far better sandwich.

I don't care for them, myself. They overload the sandwich with "fixins" so you can't taste anything. I tried to get a sandwich
without the "fixins" and they didn't seem to know what I wanted and piled everything on, anyway.

Years ago I liked Subway, lately, it seems they also overload the fixins.
I'd eat at Taco Bell if there wasn't a sit down Mexican restaurant. I liked TB salad but they changed some their spices rendering aTB salad uneatble to me & probably 45% of customers.

Fixins are cheap compared to meat and cheese.
I prefer JJ over Subway but I prefer most other sub shops over JJ. They make a fine cold sandwich, with my only real complaint being that all the stuff tends to keep getting squeezed out the side.
For those who complain about all the toppings overwhelming the meat: you should try one of their "Slim" subs, which don't come with the veggies.
Also, the thread topic is inaccurate. Arby's is not buying Jimmy John's. You might as well say Sonic is buying Jimmy John's.

So you'd rather it say Arby's PARENT is buying JJ's? Pretty much the same.
I love Jimmy John's. Much better than Subway.
Not a fan of Subway. Also not really a fan of JJ's. I guess their big gimmick is that they deliver within a very limited distance.
However, I am a fan of Arby's and Sonic. So JJ's has nowhere to go but up.

Love JJ's much more than subway. Like their bread much better. JJ's cookies are better as well. Subway's have a chemical taste to me. Only disappointment for me at JJ's is that you have to request to add cheese to some sandwiches. Should be included automatically

This is about how I feel. I've had Jimmy John's once. Bread was among the worst sandwich bread I have ever had. I would honestly take Subway over JJ any day.
Cousins Subs rules them all.
I can't imagine why I would go to Jimmy John's - or worse, Subway - for a sub, when I have the three best sub shops on Earth (Amiels, Dibellas, and Wegmans) all within 10 minutes!
I do recall Jimmy Johns offering delivery years ago, well before most other non-pizza restaurants offered delivery.
Been to DiBella's in Newington, CT many times! A bit pricey, but yeah, their sammiches are good! (Only 4 of them in CT and only ones in New England.)
As for Jimmy John's? I don't go there (any in CT?) and then the horror stories about their CEO and his senseless game hunting ways.

We have Firehouse here besides Subway and Jimmy John's. Also Casey's General Store, though I've not tried them. If their pizza is any indication, I'm not sure I'd want to try them.
DiBella's is consistently excellent. They've been cutting portions back as of late, but it's still a big, high-quality sandwich for a decent price. Definitely a better deal than Subway if you like your meat. Wegmans subs are the exact same as DiBella's.
I like Firehouse, but they sadly closed the closest location. Again, huge portions and good quality.
Jersey Mike's might be the best national chain...if you go to a good one. Fresh-cut meat on fresh rolls. But the local ones leave much to be desired.
As for gas stations, Wawa is the gold standard. Inexpensive and lots of food.

I've heard of Jersey Mike's but have never tried them.
I remember when Jimmy John's around here had "customer appreciation day" and was selling all subs for $1. A coworker who was legendary for big eating was telling everyone who would listen that they should go. He did have several subs after work, but it seems it was the first time he had ever been to one, since he spent the next day complaining about how little meat they have.
They used to air commercials on the radio emphasizing how fast they deliver. In one, there was a guy whose house was on fire, so he ordered a ton of subs, and handed each delivery boy a bucket to help fight the fire. By the time the fire trucks arrived, the fire was put out.

The Irondequoit Rubino's is really good too - it's become the go-to place to get subs for my parents.
Jimmy John's is basically another variation of Milio's (https://milios.com/) (upper Midwest chain). For a while a ham & cheese was even the same order number at both places. Quality and price are generally higher than Subway, but quantity is less. I'd still rank Firehouse higher than any of them.
All you Jimmy John's haters have clearly never tried the #5 with hot peppers. And the bread? Heavenly!
I opt for Subway due to it being cheap on road trips. Don't think much about Jimmy John's.
I do enjoy the chicken parm sub at Niko's in Syracuse, NY though.
The one and only time I had a Jimmy John's sub, I learned they only use provolone cheese. Never went back.
The Subway bread is the only good thing about a Subway hoagie. If you order a Subway hoagie with absolutely nothing but the bread, honestly you're better off that way.
The ONLY Subway outlet I liked is actually in the Pilot truck stop at the base of the NJ Turnpike and I-295 in NJ on Rt. 140. They made their hoagies extra thick. Of course, that is also 15 years ago now so who knows how they make them today!

Jimmy John's: Meh ... It's edible and better than Subway IMO. But there are plenty of other sub chains around here which are better than those two - Jersey Mike's, Potbelly, Firehouse. (Again, just my opinion). Currently I would probably put Jersey Mike's at the top, but that can change with the phase of the moon.
I also liked Quiznos quite a bit before the chain self-imploded in this area.

Agreed with that. I'd bet Wegmans has a bigger variety of toppings, but other than that, they are almost identical.

I didn't even know Quiznos still existed, until I read this thread and looked it up. Apparently they still have ~800 locations.
Blimpie's used to have a few places in CT. Their location on the Berlin Turnpike in Newington is now a local Checker's pizza place. Not very big at all. Had them deliver to my mother's place a couple of times. It was OK, but not great. Our local DiBella's was pretty much equidistant and was preferred by me and my brother.

There is still a Blimpie's on CT 322 near TA Truck Stop in Milldale just off of I-84. Believe it or not, there is one lone Quizno's on US 1 in Orange. Used to be quite a few, including one in Cromwell on CT 372 that is now a local place, and one in downtown Southington that is now a Thai place. I believe another one in Bristol became one of the two failed Firehouse Subs.
The store that was Quizznos by my work sat empty for a while and then became a Jimmy John's. They went from a place that always toasts their subs to a place that never toasts their subs. And it took me two trips before I figured this out. Work often orders from them for meetings. At least they have enough of a sense of humor to post this sign, upside down, near the restrooms: 4U2P.

I like that Wawa expanded to our area of Florida not long after we moved here a couple years ago. However, I still miss seeing a Quick Chek (North Jersey) or Stewart's every now and then...I've also seen Rutter's and Turkey Hill in Central PA.

JJ's was founded in Charleston, IL as a sandwich delivery service for college kids at Eastern Illinois University (in the 80s? Maybe early 90s?)...it was successful, they opened another in Urbana-Champaign for the larger University if Illinois, again success, and so on...Delivery was the basis of the business

To me JJ's is far better than Subway, but my favorites are Jersey Mike's and a MN/WI chain called Erbert and Gerbert's. Casey's General Store is the only gas station chain around here with that big of a food bar, but its focus has primarily been on pizza and not subs.

Jimmy John's only has a few locations in our area. Their bread isn't as fresh as even Subway and definitely not as fresh as Jersey Mike's. They stay in business though because they are the closest sub place to the College of Charleston campus. They are right below one of the dormitories on campus, and are open very late at night (I think until 3am every night of the week). Most of their business is delivery.

Oh I love KT and they've stolen my business from Holiday, just was commenting pertaining to the sub sandwiches discussion.
When I lived in Omaha, I would order at Jimmy John's once a week, right up to the point they added a Firehouse Sub and Jersey Mike's to the area. Of course, now that I live in Mason City, I'm stuck with Jimmy John's and Subway, unless I get up early enough to go to one of the local restaurants. Of course, this requires me to want to eat out at noon, which I don't like doing.
An hour north of me, there's Loafin' Joe's Subs, a small local chain. VERY good. a couple dollars more than the chains, but worth it.
I only had JJ's a few times, was never impressed. I'll go to Subway once in a while, as it's good enough and I know I won't spend too much. I hated to see Latham's Firehouse Subs close, as I liked them. Now I go pretty regularly to the Jersey Mike's at the Latham Circle. I've had some of my best quick service chain sandwiches from that Jersey Mike's including a top quality #6 just a couple days ago, but have had a few disappointing ones from them as well. The meat slicer can get to be a bottleneck, too, especially when they basically stop serving the in-person line to fill large online takeout orders. I don't go if I am in a big rush, just in case. I've also never seen a place have so much trouble running their register. DiBella's is good too, but there's not one convenient to me. The local chain Mr. Subb served me some disgustingly bad soup many years ago, so I haven't been back.
I basically have forgotten that Quiznos exists, with no locations I can think of nearby and not something I'd try to go to when traveling. I've had some good subs from D'Angelo's when in their territory. I used to go to Angelina's when I lived in the Berkshires.
Firehouse Subs is the only sub place I've gone to in recent years, and they're really good. I don't care for JJ's or Subway, and Jersey Mike's is a place I have yet to try, mostly because their two Des Moines metro locations are kinda far from me, and I'm not driving across town for a friggin' sandwich.
Jimmy John's is a sad excuse for a "sub". The local one didn't last very long because the sandwiches were pathetic, bland, and expensive. Ironically it replaced a closed Quizno's, which was better albeit very expensive. Why bother when you have some of the best delis in the country on practically every street corner here in NJ.
In terms of chains, the best one locally is PrimoHoagies, great bread and they aren't afraid to put meat and cheese on the sub. I only visit Jersey Mike's out of state, but they are amazingly consistent to the Pt. Pleasant original. They are the only national chain I've found that does the oil/vinegar mix the way NJ delis usually do it.
I've never had Firehouse. Also never had Penn Station, but I understand they have fries, which would be a drawing point for me. Subway doesn't and neither does Jimmy John's. It's also a big reason why I prefer Sheetz over Wawa. Wawa's subs/hoagies/whatever might be better, but even if you get one there -- which, admittedly, I usually don't get one at Sheetz -- you can't get fries or other fried items with it. I'll often get the chicken sandwich at Sheetz with the App Sampler box. Sheetz' fried cheese curds are better than Culver's.

I reluctantly went to Jack In the Box a couple of weeks ago. I can't get to sleep if I eat or drink sugar or caffeine in the evening, but I need carbonated beverages to help digest fast food. I try to find places that have Coke Freestyle machines, or otherwise serve diet caffeine-free drinks. Jack In the Box has really gone downhill recently, but they were the only place available in Seattle's U-District now that the Pizzeria Pagliacci closed. They were slammed, as usual. One grill worker, who kept making mistakes. One person taking orders. Maybe someone taking drive-thru orders, and the manager. When I got to the front of the line, they stopped taking orders until they could catch up. I wondered if I could download the Jack In the Box app and place an order before they started taking orders again. I couldn't, because I got caught up in trying to verify my identity by email.

I lived for 4 years in the land of Jimmy John's (they're based in Champaign-Urbana) and have really found a distaste for the place. Not only does their food turn my stomach, possibly due to some weird preservative they put in their bread, but it also turns my stomach to have found photos of Jimmy John poaching endangered animals in Africa. There's a picture of him next to a dead elephant he slaughtered. Was that elephant a threat to you? How small do you have to feel in order to think you need to kill and dominate an animal that docile and peaceful? I know there's a whole debate about animal rights and stuff like that, and I don't go too far into it, nor do I want to. I'm not a vegan or anything. But that kind of killing is just wasteful and damaging imo. Making use of animals is fine--let's just maybe not cause absolute extinctions.

Wendys used to own Arbys. I believe that Merger ended in a break up...The Wendys Wiki page has a good, quick summary of the Arbys/Wendys merged times...Wendys may still own a small minority stake in Arby's/BW3s/etc Parent Company, but I have not researched it that closely
