    [[HIGHLIGHT]]The Jimmy John's on Central Avenue in Compton keeps a clean restaurant with friendly customer service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My favorite is the tuna. It's good, fresh and not too much mayo. They just recently discontinued their crispy jalapeños which makes me sad, they were sooo good in the sandwich. It's cool, they sell them in the grocery store. Prices are reasonable and you get a free upgrade to a combo after 2pm. You can't beat that deal!

    One bite into old stale bread before returning the sandwich
    Tae G.

    I've given this location enough chances. Today I had all the time in the world to double back and return ANOTHER sandwich made with some of the crispiest, crunchiest, stalest bread ever! The staleness was evident to the touch, even when the manager pressed it. This tells me that employees how to be fully aware they Re using old, stale bread or management is pushing for them to do so. Coincidentally upon my return, the manager said fresh bread had just come out of the oven. He remade my sandwich and noted my JJ account to use fresh bread ONLY for any future orders. While appreciate the manager remaking my sandwich and giving me a free bag of chips, I will bypass this location and drive elsewhere if needed. That's great, but I'm done with this location.

    So small

    How disappointed I am with my sandwich. I paid close to $8 dollars and it was lacking meat and vegetables At least if you are not going to give me more meat and cheese you can give me some lettuce, tomatoes and cucumber. I normally would not give a negative review, however, this sandwich was ridiculous.

    Avocado spread and cucumber slices
    Regina L.

    This was my first time experiencing food at Jimmy John's and it was my last period regardless of city. Overall the experience left a bad taste in my mouth so to speak. I ordered the avocado, cucumber and cheese. I paid total $18 for with chips and a small fountain power aid. When I asked what are the options for cheese, I was informed they only have provolone. (Should of left then, this is a PORK byproduct and I don't eat pork) I had the cheese removed and had got double avocado (they only have avocado spread) I saw a photo advertisement soon after with a sandwich that had fresh mozzarella, so I asked the sandwich maker if I could purchase to add to my sandwich, I was told "that cheese is only sold for that advertised sandwich only" I had never heard of such a thing but ok Once my Togo order was completed, my number was called out and my square sandwich was placed on the counter top.?.? I asked the lady, can I have a bag? "Just reach over the counter and grab one" Is this how customer service is supposed to be handled? (In my head) I reached over and grabbed a bag and placed my sandwich, got a cup, then choose my bag of chips at the counter. I will gladly frequent Togos, and Jersey Mikes as they never disappoint.

    #14 with potato salad
    Florence M.

    This has got to be one of my favorite sandwich shops! They have tons delicious options to choose from, my go to is the number 14 with everything and I add peppers,pickles , and cucumbers with a side of potato salad if it's available. I usually drop by for dinner and they have ran out for the day, they will sub for the pasta salad which is good too but not as good in my opinion. The staff is always friendly and my order is always ready when I arrive.For the quality you get I'd say the price is good and definitely sign up for the email club as they send out really good coupons. The parking sometimes depending on the time of day could be a little tricky. It shares a parking lot with several other businesses such as In N Out, Dunkin' Donuts, Wabba Grill and a few others.

    Where you order

    I haven't been in an establishment with such bad service in a long time. I was actually looking for Jersey Mikes and ended up here because I have been to this particular store before and had no problem. I walked in and the young lady at the register didn't great us nor did she give us a smile. Her attitude was as if we were disturbing her day. She didn't ask what size sandwiches we wanted. When asked what a veggie sandwich came with she forced herself to tell me. Still no smile no customer service. The young lady made the sandwiches and called our number and sat the wrapped sandwiches on the counter. She did ask when we ordered was it for here or to go. We clearly said to go. When I asked about a bag she pointed and said I could grab one right there. On the other side of the counter sat bags and napkins that I had to help myself to. Customer service gets a zero for me. I didn't even want to eat my sandwiches after I had to bag them myself. I don't suggest anyone go to the store.

    I had to leave a review because I am not understanding the low ones! My family and I have come here…read morefor YEARS! Employees are kind and generous! Food is always hot on top of being delicious! Turkey burger is juicy and seasoned! Food is never greasy. No notes to be made here.

    Respectfully this review may sound harsh but it's 1000% truth…read more The burger...eww. Why? Low grade, FOUL smelling Jennio-O caliber meat quality at best. And desert dry at that. If you're okay with this, then have at it. But just remember this review when you smell this under seasoned chunk of rancid meat you just spent your hard earned money on. The first thing I noticed cutting into this burger was the scent. It was FOUL. And then I instantly remembered why it has been 2 years since I visited this place. Same experience. This meat cannot be fresh whatsoever. It stinks. But to no surprise, it mirrors the poor quality of the fries (mid at best) and the knock off hidden valley ranch disguised as a house ranch you have to pay extra for. TBH the idea of a burger spot specializing in turkey burgers is really unique and opens up options that are both simple and satisfying. However, the turkey-- where you buy it, how you store it and the overall quality is the star of the show, and this ain't it. Simply put, it's not for me. I could not eat this food. Not to mention I feel there is a bit of deflection on the workers part when a concern is politely brought to their attention. The food, guaranteed IS NOT FRESH. I recommend Chinollo across the street. Fresh, high quality and juicy farm raised meats paired with equally high quality sides made in house (not frozen), fresh veg, fresh hand cut fries, house made sodas, milk teas and teas; nothing reeks of left over food being sold at ransom prices
