Jimmy John's — Restaurant in Mount Airy

JJs is a "trying to be a deli but not quite there" kind of place. They want to make up subs but they want you to pick one of THEIR subs off the sign instead of building you YOUR sub. They don't have all of the common sub shop fixins for subs - just THEIR favorites, not YOUR favorites.

I'm a vegetarian, and my sub had 2 slices of tomato, 3 cucumbers (which I hate), cheese and lettuce. That's it, no onions, no peppers, no mushrooms, no spinach, no guacamole, no salt or pepper. The bread was so thick with a few slivers of 3 veggies on the entire sub. My daughter and I both threw our's in the trash. Will...

We made an online order and went to the counter to give the name. One of the two older gentlemen kept snipping at us "We don't have a Kylie order" while waving his hands all around. I asked him " Is this 1996 Rockford Street?" After getting increasingly flustered the man finally realized our order had been made and was sitting on the back counter waiting for us. We received a quick "Sorry". Other than that exchange everything else was great. The other two employees were kind and the...
