Jimmy John’s is the best sub shop there is….

[HailStout]

Quizno’s is an example of how good marketing can make a business and destroy its competitors. They were a legit threat to subway. Those sponge monkey ads were everywhere……..and then the 5 dollar foot long campaign happened. One of the best marketing campaigns of all times, and subway became a behemoth.

Jimmy John's bread is good. Outside of that - I can take it or leave it.

 

[maroontide06]

I remember when the Starkville Subway had $3.99 footlongs on Tuesdays.

 

[MSUDOG24]

Why no mention of Blimpie? LOL

Loved Blimpie, first chain sub shop I remember mid to late 70's in Atlanta as I recall. Still around it appears.
I'm a big sandwich guy so I like them all. Jersey Mikes if forced to pick.

Can anyone explain what the "V cut"" at Subway was about all those years? What a 17ing mess that made and nice they finally went back the OG of inventions, sliced bread.

Sure. The V-cut is how Subway used to slice their bread when they made a sandwich. It worked good for the meatball subs because it created a pocket for them, but you had this small tiny piece of top bread that would be very fragile. I think they went back to slicing them down the middle because it was better for the structure of the sandwich. If you notice it's a hinge cut, so they don't completely slice it in two.

Schlotzsky’s. A sammich, not a sub but their product is superior to most.

 

[Theconnormead]

….I said it, prove me wrong.

Jersey Mike’s takes too long and too expensive

Subway is so 1983

which wich suxxxxxxx

Lenny’s ok, just not enough of them

Know you are referencing franchise subs, but the best sub in Starkville, in my opinion, is the from the 76 Station on Hwy 12 (specifically the Philly Cheese).

I've never had a good sandwich at Crotchsky's

 

[JY1947]

For those of us in the metro we're getting a Potbelly's and it's phenomenal. But I still rank Jersey Mike's as my #1

 

[NukeDogg]

Jersey Mike's is #1 for me, with Firehouse a close second. Lenny's is underrated though.

Jimmy Johns focus is on getting the sandwich made, wrapped, and in your hand in under 2 minutes. That means their focus is not on making it taste good. It's barely better than Subway.

If I had a Lenny's closer to me it would be my #1

Yes it’s very good. Not many around here.

 

[FrontRangeDawg]

Potbelly is great (my favorite). Firehouse is pretty close to Potbelly. Jersey Mike's is good as well.

Jimmy John's is trash. The "bread" is terrible and I've never had one where it wasn't drowning in mayo. It's also expensive for what it is.

Quizno's is still elite if you're near one. The most notorious cautionary tale about franchises and how predatory they can be.

 

[MS-halfstep]

Cheba Hut blows all these out of the water

 

[dawgman42]

De'mon Glanton says 17-that and how's my sammich taste!

Colorado by chance?

[40mikemike]

Jimmy Johns is 17ing trash and so are the people that like it. Jersey Mike’s, Lenny’s, Subway’s sorry a$$ and even garbage a$$ Firehouse are better than Jimmy Johns.

 

[MS-halfstep]

Colorado by chance?

Washington. But I believe Cheba hut started in CO

 

[Tall Dawg]

Jersey Mike’s is much better than JJ’s.

 

[Tall Dawg]

And, Quiznos tuna is killer!!!

 

[RocketDawg]

Publix deli is better than all of them.

 

[DAWGSANDSAINTS]

Mama Goldbergs if you can find one - not sure they’re in MS but it’s fantastic. Also get the pepperjack Dorito nachos with jalapenos on top.
I prefer both JM’s and Firehouse over JJ’s.
All this sandwich talk makes me want a hot roast beef with potato salad and ice cold big round glass of beer!

 

[skipperDawg]

Cool buds make all subs equal

 

[The Cooterpoot]

The meatball sub, the Philly, and that top shelf club at Lenny's is as good as it gets

 

[CochiseCowbell]

Had a Hot Honey Drizzle Chicken Philly today from Jersey Mike's. First bite was a little dry, after I added my own mayo it was pretty good.

[Barkman Turner Overdrive]

Jersey Mike’s for cold subs.

Lenny’s for hot subs.

I like Firehouse a lot as well.

Jimmy John’s…meh

Subway is gross.

 

[Curby]

The sandwich called the JJ Gargantuan

The best. There's no equal.

 

[AttalaDawg72]

Nah. Jersey Mike’s is better.

 

[OG Goat Holder]

I might should add that the only JJ sub I get is the Night Club. So it’s the best sub shop sandwich. Maybe not whole store.

their bread is sometime like chewing on a now-or-later. The hot subs though, I like. Jersey Mike's it better overall. I feel like I'm inconveniencing the employees at Subway these days.

Awesome! I know the guy that made that video.

 

[peewee.sixpack]

I like Firehouse the best. I bought a datum pepper sauce from Firehouse that is really good (Captain Sorensen’s).

 

[garddog]

Had a prime rib with dipping sauce at The Butcher Shop in Philly today!

 

[Trojanbulldog19]

They don't put anything on it.
Firehouse is better

 

[PrimeDog]

It seems like most Jimmy John’s can’t find staff to work. I’ve seen several that can’t even stay open during the day. The one on airport rd in Flowood is never open. The one in downtown Jxn is lucky to have 1 person working during lunch rush.

I stayed in downtown Montgomery last year and that one was always closed.

Their sammiches are good but the customer service and work ethic blow

That’s not how accusations work

you have to prove you are right

you didn’t and you never do!

 

[RotorHead]

JJs between keifers and the Brewery is lackluster at best. The Quiznos in the Fondren is fantastic. People were very nice when I went week before last. I’m pretty sure Lenny’s and Charley’s are the same company. Never heard of Potbelly’s…good?

 

[jethreauxdawg]

Lenny's is modeled after Jersey Mikes but it's better IMO. Both are good and Firehouse is right behind them. Jimmy John's sucks minus the bread. The bread is really good!
I had Goat pegged as a Jared guy

Correct. JJ’s bread is on point.
