Overall a 3.5/5 but I'll err on 3 with this one. Definitely give it a try and get more dressing.

Worst experience ever direct result of Viviana!! (could care less if I spelled it right) She is as ghetto as it gets and the manager should be fired like last year already. Little miss thinks she's a hard ass didn't like me asking for my money back after she thought she was getting somewhere with her ugly ass attitude. She called me a "fucking bitch" and hit my car window. Yup!! The manager is just as ghetto and decides it's ok and tried getting crazy too. Save your money and avoid the most GHETTO ass people Viviana and FOSTER FREEZE tweaker MANAGER. Learn how to drive while your at it little miss ghetto fabulous VIVIANA!! Karma will find you trust in it! Try being blessed and lose the nasty ass attitude cause you suck at your job!! Try that shit on the right person and see how hard you are.. No more shitty experience here for me. You couldn't pay me enough to come back! read more

Glad a new JM is opened. Sandwich was good. Would have been better with more lettuce and less oil…read moreand less vinegar. It's a little wet, but overall, okay. Line was very long. And employees were working hard. The work flow, however, needed improvement. It feels very unfair that ppl who came at a later time got their sandwiches made right away, while customers who ordered on the app had to wait at least 45 min. The order of making sandwiches should be based on the time an order is placed rather prioritizing only instore patrons. It doesn't make sense loyal customers with JM app have to feel like they are inferior, esp when they put in their orders first. I placed my order which was just one sandwich combo. Thought it would be ready so I came in after about 20 min and saw about 10-12 ppl in line to order and 2 ppl waiting to pick up. I was told that my order will be ready in 30 min. Was thinking to ask the unfriendly lady, why isn't my order ready when I ordered before all these ppl? But I figured it's okay, I'll do errands and come back. When I came back after 30 min sharp, there was only one new person in line. Even then, the staff made me wait until they're done taking that person's order and staff was doing some small talking back and forth before asking me if I needed assistance. I finally got my order after 12 ppl, and now I noticed they forgot my drink. They probably were too concerned about the ppl in line that they were negligent to online customers. I don't think that it's right that they paid attn to everyone in line and made ALL their orders before mine. I ordered like 50 min ago on the app and I still haven't received my sandwich. Yet the person who just barely came in the deli 5 min ago had received their sandwiches. That's neither fair nor right. Even if I ordered 10 sandwiches, I should have gotten my order way before the 10th or 12th person in line let alone just 1 sandwich. Just one. And I placed my order before way in advance. I like to give good reviews. I don't like giving bad reviews. I hope that management will fix this unfair issue, and make online customers feel more appreciated. What's the point of ordering on the app then?? No other restaurants or fast food joints do this. Starbucks, McDonalds, Subway, to name a few, do not make loyal customers wait, especially when they put in their order at an earlier time on the app. Be fair and make it time based...for example, the person that placed their order at 10 should get their sandwiches before someone who places the order at 10:15 and so forth. I was excited to get a good experience as I always look fwd to trying new restaurants. Sucks I had bad initial experience.
