Service is good and fast at this location. The sandwiches are good. The dining room is the best sandwich shop dining area I have ever seen.

It's something about Jimmy John's bread that has me in a chokehold (literally and figuratively). Quick stop for lunch and there was one person working. I had to wait a couple minutes as she was making an online order, but she was pretty quick with making my order. Best part? They have crushed ice!!! Sandwich was good and had the extra Mayo I desired to include the pickles were extra crispy. read more

Jimmy John's - a cup of coffee and a bag of chips - Sandwiches Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

See all

Went for a sandwich 15 minutes before closing time. The very unpleasant young man that I assume the rest of the negative reviews are about told me his name is Q. Q threw away all the bread in front of me and told me I wasn't getting a sandwich. It was just so mean and uncalled for. Stay away from Jimmy Johns. Really bad vibes. read more

food was fine. store looks like every JJ. Picked up sandwiches cashier was polite BUT the guy making the sandwiches was SUUUPER rude, ignorant, and obnoxious. Got one of our sandwiches wrong and when my significant other called the guy in The store that made our sandwiches instantly started making threats! He needs to be fired! I went on 3/29 read more

Good sandwich and we didn't have to wait but, the clerk was rude and inpatient. Tips don't happen when the customer is not respected and they don't return either. read more

I am glad to have tried this place! I've gone several times and I thoroughly enjoyed my food, the ingredients tasted fresh, and the staff were quick & friendly. The place was clean and comfortable enough for me to eat in the store vs only doing take-out. read more

The food was okay, they double charged my card and I was a little annoyed. It's fine otherwise though.

It takes 30min to pick up a mobile order because they don't make sandwiches by order Cooking. They should learn how to make sandwiches by order before how to cook read more

Guy behind the counter was extremely rude. Also got my entire order wrong. Terrible experience

I'm not really sure what everyone else is complaining about. I ordered my food and the driver delivered it pretty quickly and was really polite. Thank you for great service read more

Looking to support a local business? This location is locally owned & are dedicated to amazing customer service! I order from this place regularly and they are consistently delicious. The one time I had a different experience, they responded and worked with me to address the issue. I will be a forever customer :) read more

I wish I would've read the reviews before I placed my order. They advertise to be fast ( and the other ones Ive ordered for previously are) but this location here is absolutely SLOW. They notified my that my order was out for delivery but did t arrive until 30 mins later after I received the notification. Sad thing is this location was only 0.3 mins (7 min walk) from where I was. Again I wish I would've known how slow they were I could've walked to go get the sandwich and ate it by the time I received my order. read more

The food here is amazing served fresh right infront of you and the employees are friendly shout out demitri

Terrible customer service in the ballston location. Definitely the worst jimmy John's I've ever been to and will not be coming back. If you're reading this- just go to the Italian store in Arlington instead. Workers at this location do not care about doing their job. read more

I ordered the veggie submarine. I was greatly disappointed with this "un"glorified cheese sandwich. It was basically a bunch of mild provolone, a few tomato slices, shredded lettuce and two small smudges of avocado 'spread'. There was so little of the avocado spread I thought they had forgotten to put it on the sub so I took it to the counter and was informed that the spread was between the cheese layers. I took two bites of this sandwich and threw the rest away. I decided there was no point in filling my stomach with unsatisfying food. My boyfriend ordered the Hunter's Club sandwich, which he assumed would come on the sandwich bread since it was on the sandwich menu. It came on a sub roll. There is a choice between the two breads listed on the menu but he thought the default bread on the sandwich menu would be sandwich bread. The guy who took our order never asked which he preferred and apparently the default bread is a sub roll, even when you order a sandwich. I did notice that not one person working there ever cracked a smile or otherwise gave the impression that they were customer friendly. I think having a good attitude when preparing food results in better food. Case in point, I have been to the Tyson's Jimmy John's many times and always enjoyed the veggie sub there. The staff members at the Tyson's location are always cheerful, friendly and energetic. The staff members in the Ballston location are the complete opposite; dour, aloof and apathetic. I gave them one star just for existing and another star for the crushed ice their soda machine has (although all Jimmy John's have the same ice). Do yourself a favor and spend your money elsewhere. read more

Jimmy John's - "The Veggie" with no flavor and two smudges of avocado "spread". - Sandwiches Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Super Pollo was closed... It's been a couple years since I'd last stepped foot in a Jimmy Johns. I was met with a cool breeze as I opened the door, offering a respite from the humidity. That day, the person running the music station had good taste. The service was fast. The booths were nice. The floor was clean. Food I still remember the bread. It's soft and chewy but crunchy on the outside. I found the Turkey Tom refreshing. The shredded iceberg lettuce was stacked high in a sandwich that wouldn't put you to sleep. The turkey broke apart easily, the mark of good quality, but a lot of the flavor came from the layer of mayo on the bottom. And they make a mean cookie. $5.5 for the sandwich which was just full enough food. $1.5 for the cookie, worth it. Wouldn't mind coming back. Ambiance and Service 5 Food 4 Value 5 read more

Called for pickup and order was ready in less than five minutes. They told me they made my sandwich with love... I could tell

If you are looking to buy tasteless bread with lettuce, cheese, meat & mayo this place is for you. If you are looking for something with more character and perhaps a little actual taste find someplace else. The sub with "avocado" has some very small amounts of green creamy stuff between pieces of cheese... Gave it a try. Did not like it, was not worth it, will not go back, period. read more

When I lived in Arlington, I went to this location on a few occasions. It was mainly when I was driving a certain rideshare that is a terrible company that starts with a U. For better companies, Lyft or Via (in DC/Arlington only), but I digress. The sandwiches are always great. I get the #2 Big John usually. The roast beef is fresh-cut unlike Subway. The tomato is good and the bread is soft & delicious. They were fast like any other Jimmy John's too. The parking lot is free but small. The free parking was a sway to go here instead of some other place I could've gone to in Ballston. read more

This restaurant has their own delivery people..food came 30 min late, soggy, and driver POUNDED on my front door like a psychopath when I said to just leave the food outside my door. I live in an apt building which is why this was so incredibly rude and disrespectful. Will never be ordering or eating from here again. read more

Inside is absolutely disgusting. Not just the napkins and straw papers on the floor and spilled drinks, but just generally dirty and run down. The bathroom is wasn't fit to even wash my hands in. Instead of cleaning up, the employees are standing behind the counter goofing off. The filth alone had me leave without ordering. Do not recommend. read more

Quick, healthy, and tasty. My go-to is the Beach Club, unwich (lettuce wrap), plus bacon. I've been here several times to pick up lunch. Very clean. Parking is limited, but usually people are in and out. read more

I have ordered take out from this location 3 times, NEVER AGAIN. The delivery person did not follow directions requesting that they WEAR A FACE MASK. The delivery did not include the cookie that was ordered on the second delivery and the end of the bread was stale. The sandwiches do not have very much meat. The third delivery I asked for 2 meats doubled in portions and double the cheese, again very little meat and cheese. WILL NEVER ORDER FROM THE LOCATION AGAIN. read more

Not sure how these guys do it, but the delivery is within like four minutes. Sandwiches are always solid, bread is always fresh. Not sure what else you could ask for for a good lunch sub. Good price too! PS - the chocolate chip cookies are legendary. read more

Jimmy John's has been a go-to in my household for ages- usually I get delivery from the Rosslyn one, as it's closest to my house, but since the Covid-19 crisis forced the Rosslyn one to close, my delivery comes from here. Now I'm not expecting freaky fast delivery, especially considering the circumstances, so I have no problem with how long the sandwich took to get here. What I do have a problem with is the repeated inability of the employees at this location to accurately make a sandwich. The last 3 times I have ordered, something's been wrong with my sandwich- either the wrong bread, the wrong sauces, or something, but today's order was the culmination of bad orders- everything was wrong. I got all the freebies on my sandwich, and the only thing I got "ez" was lettuce. As soon as my sandwich came I knew something was wrong; it looked too flat. Lo and behold, there were barely any toppings other than cheese and mayo; I believe there was one single pepper on my entire sandwich (I asked for extra peppers.) The pickle I had ordered was also missing, and the bag of chips was sticky and stained on the outside, and rancid on the inside. I don't think I'll ever be ordering from JJ's again. I don't mind that they take longer to get here, but little is sadder than finally getting your sandwich in the middle of a busy telework day to find it's little more than bread and cheese. read more

I've eaten here probably around 5-6 times over the year and the place keeps going downhill. Ate here for an early dinner this week, came in around 4:30pm. The cashier taking my order didn't say one word to me, he just stared at me while I was about to give him my order. Apparently his earphones and ipod that he was listening to was way more important than me. I gave him my order, he gave me my receipt and walked away..... still no thanks or even one word to me. That Is pathetic. Got my sub and and it was one of those club sandwiches for $6.50. I asked them to hold the mayo and put on dijon mustard instead. They did. However, there was barely any dijon mustard on my entire sub. Come on man. Don't be stingy with the sauces. I ate my sub and killed my unflavorful bag of chips and went to go refill my ice tea and low and behold there was one of the employees sleeping on the table right near the soda machine. This dude was knocked out cold. Thats pretty appalling and so many disgusting things come to mind when an employee is sleeping, and possibly drooling, on a table. It looked like a shift change as there were 2-3 guys coming in and hovering around this guy sleeping with his head on the table. None of them said anything to the guy, they just let him be. I walked away shaking my head. Thats pretty embarrassing. The management in this store needs a values and restaurant check. The customer service in this store has become, PATHETIC, LAUGHABLE, DISGRACEFUL, A JOKE, ALL OF THE ABOVE. Stay away from this place, their employees have no idea about customer service and just don't care. They are there to collect a paycheck and do as little as work as possible. read more

Quick and friendly delivery to the Westin nearby. Review wasn't long enough so I just kept writing.

Jimmy Johns is a solid sandwich place that is definitely a step above Subway. The bread is better than subway, and the tuna is pretty good. Last time I went, I felt there was a little bit too much mayo in it, but it didn't ruin the sandwich. From the time I ordered, it took only about 3 or 4 minutes for me to get the tuna sandwich which was fast. The tomatoes, lettuce, and provolone cheese tasted good. Although it is close to where I work, I don't see myself coming here too often. There are a lot of food options in Ballston, and Jimmy Johns just isn't near the top of my list. read more

Jimmy John's - Sandwiches Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Best option for quick, good food in the Ballston area. You always know what you're getting with Jimmy John's. Just know that you will get a sandwich slathered with mayo - if you're ok with that, you'll like this place. A lot of restaurants and other stores could use a staff like the one here. They are by far the friendliest and most efficient group of employees I have ever met in a place like this. They are always happy and nice to customers. It is a pleasure to deal with them and eat the sandwiches they make. I really can't say enough about that. I think that way too often people are willing to sacrifice good customer service. My idea of getting a good experience is not waiting in line at a truck for 20 minutes or going to a restaurant where the servers rarely stop by to get you what you need. Jimmy John's is a no BS place; everyone is very friendly, quick, and you can always count on getting a tasty sub. read more

The stoned idiot at the register added cheese to 4 out of our 8 sandwiches even after we explicitly answered "NO CHEESE." What the hell... I get that corporate forces you to ask "would you like cheese" to make money the same way McD's used to ask "would you like to Supersize it." But when the customer says no, you can't just add cheese anyway. We didn't get the receipt until after the sandwiches were made so we had to take them as is. We're not gonna stand around for another 10 minutes while they re-do them all. read more

I wouldn't survive school without Jimmy John's. For school events, we always love to get their large platters, which feed about 15 to 25 people, depending on how hungry they are. This location is super helpful, always timely, and extremely friendly. It always amazes me. I always get the #5 Vito on french bread with mayo. It's an italian sandwich with genoa salami, provolone, capicola, lettuce, tomato, and italian vinaigrette. It's perfect and satisfying and all I need to get me through a long day of studying. I do need to try their delivery - but that would make me the ultimate lazy student since JJ is only about 8 blocks away from school. Oh forget it, I drive anyways. read more

JJ's had amazing bread. And they also really, really, really love their mayo. But, they are willing to do without their love potion so make sure you tell them to hold the mayo if that's what you want. As far as what I've tried....I've lost count. I've been eating at JJ's since back in my college days in Florida. What keeps me coming back is two things: the fresh ingredients (including that ah-ma-zinghhh bread) and the funny signs on the walls. Can you tell I'm easily amused? They also have sweet tea on hand, which reminds me of home. I like the fact that they shout a friendly greeting when you walk in - rather than just staring at you until you make up your mind. Did I mention I like the bread? Because I really do. read more

I love Jimmy John's. Food is always amazing, but the customer service isn't always the same. I ordered two sandwiches and they were made quickly. I needed to take them to go and asked for a bag. The woman who made my sandwich pointed to the corner of the counter and said "they're right there" then went on with her day. They weren't busy. I was the only one there, so I couldn't understand why she couldn't get the bag and put my food in it for me as this is what I would consider essential service. I had to reach over the counter, which made me feel uncomfortable as it looked like I was reaching into their work area. I know this experience was brief, but that one incident affected my whole perception of this particular location. read more

Fresh bread, quick service, consistent quality, for a great price..love this place and eat here fairly often. Try the Vito with hot peppers and a whole pickle. read more

Sandwiches are what you'd expect from any Jimmy Johns, pretty good and fairly priced. Delivery is fast. 2 stars instead of 3 because "special" requests seem to be more than this location can handle. The first time I ordered delivery, I asked for 3 packets of mayo and got none. The second time, I told the person on the phone that last time I had not gotten any despite asking, and could I please get 4. Inside the bag... 2 packets. It's worth adding that these were otherwise very simple 1 and 2 sandwich orders, both around 3pm on weekdays when I assume it is relatively slow. Seems like the people there either just don't care or can't communicate with each other well. read more

My best-friend and I tried JJ's today for lunch and it was cool. The atmosphere is nice and the staff are courteous. You are greeted as soon as you walk in -I like that; it makes you feel welcomed. There are several tables to sit down and eat and two one commode bathrooms which are very clean. I ordered the Lulu, which is turkey, bacon, lettuce, tomato and mayo. I opted not to have cheese - not sure why since I had mayo. It was tasty, but the bread was great. I would order just the bread and go home and dip it in olive oil...that's how good it was to me. Funny thing, they offer Mello Yello. I haven't seen Mello Yello in ages, but my best-friend said it's everywhere. read more

Super slow delivery every time I call. Keep thinking it is a blip but it's not. I live about 5 blocks away and every time it takes an hour or more. read more

Love JJ but I wish they would expand their delivery circle. I'm probably 2 miles from the store and since their delivery boundaries are limited to 1 mile from the store I can't get my lunch delivered at work. Not a huge deal but would be nice to have delivery as an option for those days I just can't get away. Food is delicious though and I can't wait for more stores to open in the area. read more

Maybe my tastebuds are not as refined as others, but I absolutely LOVE the bread here! It's firm on the outside, chewy in the inside. I usually get the turkey tom, the sprouts are key. And yes, there's mayo on the sandwich which i love, but as for no mayo or light mayo if you aren't a fan. Ingredients taste really fresh--only if it were closer to my work! Sidenote, they have a parking lot yay! read more

Free Parking. Fast service. Like Taylor Gourmet selection (hot hoagies) but end up eating here much more often due to free easy parking. Plus #5 the Vito with double meat and hot peppers is great. As good as any cold Taylor Gourmet sandwich. read more
