Can't order online for delivery any more. Have to call. They get the order wrong every time when calling to place an order. So weird that they only deliver if you call. Get with the times. This change is so weird and doesn't make sense. Might appear petty but we're ordering elsewhere because of this. Tired of calling for a replacement after ordering. read more

freaky fast more like slowly slow. Slowest jimmy johns known to man. i could die and live another life and die and be born again and my sandwich still wouldn't be made read more

I go to EIU, I order jimmy johns delivery from this location about 2-3 times a week. With that being said they've only messed up my order once. I wouldn't order from this location during the mornings/lunch times because of the mess ups but during dinner time or later times they are always super quick and so delicious. Not to mention the prices for delivery are sooo much cheaper than any third party app, like DoorDash, UberEats, etc. Cheaper and Faster by far. My delivery drivers are always so friendly and nice. read more

Food is good there. Just they play the music to loud cant hear them. When you order your food.

My gf got a delivery from the jimmy johns app, she was absolutely flabbergasted when she came to realize that the sub had NO LETTUCE, this is absolutely unacceptable. read more

Charleston, IL has two important firsts that I'm aware of. It has the first Jimmy John's, and it has the first Rural King. I haven't set foot in either establishment yet, which is a travesty that sorely needs to be remedied. However, it's become a practice to order lunch delivery from Jimmy John's when I need a pick-me-up because more often than not nowadays, I'm working through lunch. I don't know how they are through the phone or in person either because I have staff who handles all of that. I just tell them whether it's a #3 or a #5 sort of day, hand them my credit card, and disappear for awhile, and when I come back, my lunch is magically on my desk. It's kind of a neat concept. They haven't gotten my order wrong yet, and it tastes like every other Jimmy John's I've been too so I'm pretty satisfied. It actually doesn't take that much to make me happy, but for the 10 minutes alone I get to devour my Jimmy John's in between work behind closed doors, it does make my day better. No, they are not freakishly faster than any other Jimmy John's, and no, this Jimmy John's is not the best ever...but it sure is solid. I always get kinda sad when I drive by though because they have a very beautiful 21st century facelift and drive thru (unlike Rural King or even the 1st McDonalds up in the Chicago suburbs), and I wish they kept it like how it used to be...just for old time's sakes. read more

I'm with Katherine R. This is indeed America's finest Jimmy Johns. They are on every other block in Chicago, and scattered throughout the 'burbs, but none come close to the original Want a tip? get the veggie but add Bacon! Try it sometime when nothing jumps out at you. read more

Listen to me when I say this: This is the best Jimmy John's in the country. Not just in general, but this Jimmy John's. This is indeed, the Original Jimmy John's, so this has pretty much everything to do with it. My addiction has stayed with me since graduating from good old EIU, but no other Jimmy John's will ever come close to this place. I was not going to a review a Jimmy John's, but this is the original and it's worth driving 2.5 hours from Chicago to Charleston for. Any person that I have brought this up to has agreed. And see that girl with me in the picture? She did not like Jimmy John's upon going to Charleston, but guess what? She has an unnecessary and unhealthy obsession with it now! cue Dr.Evil laugh..... read more

I love my sandwiches like I love my women, fresh. And let me tell you, these are very fresh, I'm about to order another one right now, so good. read more

Went to drive-up. 4 or 5 cars in front of me. After a minute, the line didn't move. Parked and went inside. There was no line at the register, but there were literally 10 employees behind the counter. 5 were doing absolutely nothing. I told the gal that they fly the Space Shuttle with a smaller crew than this. It took 5 minutes to get my sandwiches. Was not given a receipt. No onions on my sandwich as requested. read more

Been going to JJ's when jimmy himself was a student and waited on you. as has been noted this is the original.. in 30 years i've never had a bad sandwhich. read more

Just to clarify, this is not the original Jimmy John's. That location is now closed; it was located on the east side of Fourth Street. This location is at the northwest corner of Fourth and Lincoln. But it is still awesome. It's an extra-fancy Jimmy John's with a drive-through of all things. I'm an EIU grad, and on the rare occasion I visit Charleston I have to stop at JJ's, even though they are all over the Chicago 'burbs now. It just tastes better here. read more

Well I guess the fact that this location refuses to deliver to me now because I've made complaints about the 45 minute waits, the orders usually being wrong and the male delivery guys wearing their pants around their ankles means they won't care that I see their delivery drivers talking on their cell phones (illegal without a hands free device) not paying attention and therefore driving like idiots... read more

Been here and done this place soooooo many times we're practically long distance lovers. She calls to me as I live the dream in CA. Always teasing me with fresh baked french rolls and delicious tastes when i'm back visiting famiy. Consistent quality and the comfort of knowing any selection is gonna be good makes this baby a 5 star. I've even inquired about franchise cost to get one of these lusty ladies to San Francisco to overwhelm the fogged in masses (way too expensive). Love this place. read more

Fast and friendly! Ordered all the time when I worked in charleston. Only got my order wrong once and they got me my correct sandwich super fast. It made me laugh when they came thru my drive thru pharmacy window to deliver my sandwich :) read more

Freaky fast delivery my ass. I could have graduated in the time it took them to bring my my sandwich. Literally still waiting for it. Do yourself a favor and just order dominos read more

I love Jimmy John's! I probably come here about twice a week... the only downside is that it starts to add up. But it's so yummy! Sometimes the sandwiches are made a little differently and you have to rearrange the toppings/meat inside, but they've never made an error on my sandwich. The service is good for the most part too, I've only dealt with one grumpy cashier once. read more

Fast precise orders. Best in country. Add sprouts and hot peppers on whole grain. Easy mayo :)

Food is always fast and delicious. No complaints. You also can't beat that this is the first store, ever!

It's like I'm forced to give this 5 stars because I'm forced to order it every time it's late in the night and nothing else is open at all. Isn't this the original one? Cuz that's cool I guess read more

I usually don't like Jimmy Johns as well as Subway. The bread was fresh, excellent meat and cheese, and the sauce was great. Made the sandwich special. Also the Lipton sweet tea was good. I would go there again and this bread beat Subways. read more

I was very hungry so I ordered a jimmy johns turkey tom sandwich plus avocado and cheese I got the sandwich and it was a turkey club sandwich I closed and made the corrections. I soon got a sandwich delivered and it was the WRNG SANDWICH AGAIN. I got not avocado which I had paid for. Thankfully I didn't have to pay for it by I still wanted my avocado read more
