Jim's feels familiar, warm, unpretentious, nostalgic, neighborhood-oriented. I love Jim's.

Joes meat might be the most amazing sub ever concocted. Never change !!! We love you all the way from Dallas TX !! Yeeeeehawwwww

Pay attention to this one folks for it is easy to miss. A small deli indeed, that looks as if it were a house transformed into a deli, sitting next door to another house. I walked in and from first glance, you can tell it is a staple type establishment for those within the community of Plainville. A spot that folks love to hit up in the mornings and for lunch to get their day started and to keep it going. I always can appreciate a good home-style vibe. Jim's had a few patrons inside, all having conversations with the ladies behind the counter that were making food and then the gentleman at the register as well. I will say that when I walked up to the counter, one lady looked at me as if I had a third eye, scoffed and walked away but I didn't think much of it for she may have been having a bad morning....moments later the other Woman said, "What do you want?" in a questionable tone but again, I digress for they both looked flustered. I placed an order and simply walked to the register and proceeded to grab a few more items for my review. I started off with the Pastrami Reuben on hardroll. The roll was toasted for that crispy factor and the pastrami itself, was good. You really can't go wrong when the cut on the pastrami is just right and it has a nice cut about it. The sauerkraut was ok, nothing major to write home about to be honest and it had a nice savory sauce with some Swiss cheese that. complemented the sandwich. Moving along to their macaroni salad! The mayo was tangy, and the red onions drew in the flavor profile rather nicely. It was seasoned with pepper as well and with the macaroni cooked to near perfection, you couldn't go wrong here. Now their Bacon, Egg and cheese on a hard roll left much to be desired. More BREAD than egg and bacon....You could barely see it from the side, let alone taste anything. I was sadly disappointed in their excuse for a breakfast sandwich. It lacked style, ingredients and flavor. This brings us over to their Apple Crisp! Fresh apples, cinnamon and granola goodness that made up for the horrible breakfast sandwich. Each bite of the crisp sent harps my way to play me a melody of tasty treats. Not too bad but between their. questionable customer service and my breakfast sandwich, I can only give Jim's an overall score of 3.5. read more

Excellent breakfast sandwich from an unexpected place. We split a Northeast which was egg, cheese, chorizo, roasted peppers and onions. Delicious. read more

I've been going to Jims Deli for years. When I moved out of state, the hardest part was detaching from this establishment. Having returned to CT, I can't stop going it's like I'm trying to make up for lost time. The "Pot Roast" SAMICHES :) are out of this world! Always friendly, clean and consistent! Your eyes will always be bigger than your stomach once you step inside and smell the aroma, especially since the menu has so many hearty items to choose from, you end up buying more than one lol! I was awakened EARLY this morning by my fiancé to have me call in a couple sandwiches to pick up on his way in to work! He's new to the state, but he's also worse than me with the Jims Deli addiction! This hometown staple never disappoints, and they have the happiest people ever working there. Just "GO"... I promise you won't be disappointed! Call-ins are better depending on the time of day, but if you've never seen the menu for yourself, you def have to go see it in person! 100% FRESH everything! Quality meats, fresh dairy products, produce and breads... you're gone love it! read more

This has been my local go to deli for years and I can't believe I have not reviewed it yet. We stopped in and got a billy club on a hard roll and a Jim's Italian on a hard roll. Sandwiches are delicious and the bread is soft and super fresh from harvest bakery. They have so many sandwich options to choose from it can be overwhelming for a first timer. They have great sides like potato salad, macaroni salad, deviled eggs etc. the staff is super friendly and the owner is great. read more

Jim's has a plethora of amazing foods to choose from. I highly recommend their Shepard pie lunch special with the crunchy onions on top mmmmmmm They also make an amazing Italian combo (#13). The staff is extremely friendly and is always smiling. They have so much to choose from ( grinders, hard rolls, bagels, ciabatta, wraps, freshly made salads, etc) It's my favorite go to deli in this area for sure! Parking can be tricky at lunch time because they are so popular. read more

Love Jims. Kickin Chicken buffalo wrap or classic turkey on a roll and you can't go wrong. I don't know what it is about Jims but there is just something about a classic sandwich that taste so good. Way better than Subway, Jims is one of the only places in the area where you can get a decent sandwhich. Lots of variety, simple and right near the highway, you can't go wrong. read more

Yum yum yum!!!!!!! Enjoyed a Packed Pastrami sandwich from Jim's for lunch today... what a delight it was!! With just the right amount of cheddar as coleslaw! Look like I'll be back this coming Monday for the rockin roast beef!! Can't wait! read more

One of the best-kept secrets in the area for outstanding sandwiches. Located almost in the middle of nowhere, tucked in a cluster of homes near a factory. You walk to the back of a local convenience store, and there you will find a sandwich counter in the back corner. There are literally dozens of sandwich options to choose from. We had the #13 Italian Combo Grinder, the #41 Air Connection Grinder, and #6 Tasty Tuna. Everything comes on freshly baked bread. The Italian Combo is packed with fresh Italian meats (Capicola, salami, pepperoni, ham) and cheese (provolone), and you can customize the accoutrements. The Tasty Tuna has tuna, cheddar, bacon, and jalapen~o. The prices are quite reasonable (the price for lunch for three was $30.85). There are a few tables where you can dine in. If you're all about great sandwiches in a down-home, no-frills environment, you must pay a visit, and bring an appetite. read more

Amazing sandwiches! A true deli. They have a long list of specials and you can create your own sandwhich. They also have all sorts of things for sale in the same store such as candies, chips, ice cream, drinks, medicine and other household items. Great 1 stop shop! Amazing sandwiches. read more

Found this place on Yelp and it seemed pretty sweet. Many different sandwiches, grinders and wraps to choose from. Usually I try to sample them all at least once, but I'm not down here often enough. I got if I remember correctly a 'wayback' which is pulled pork, coleslaw and Mac n cheese. I got it in a wrap and it's was really good, everything worked well together. I just wish there was a little more slaw on it. It's a grab and go spot, no place to sit and feast. Parking was kind of rough as I came at lunchtime and they were hoppin. read more

Drop that garbage from Subway and spend a mere few bucks more for some quality, delicious all american food! The sandwiches at Jim's Grocery & Deli are amazing.... like so splendiferously enjoy-tastic that I call ahead so I don't have to wait! I've never had a bad sandwich from them and have tried half the menu. The staff is always extremely kind and fast paced. I also really appreciate the time they take to have an insane variety of snacks and drinks to go along with their incredible sandwiches. If you go to Subway Drecks or 1 of the 8 million pizza places in the area you are a fool!! Treat yourself better and eat at Jim's Grocery & Deli!!! read more

It's a shame because this place could be pretty dam good as they already have very good roll and grinder bread from Harvest bakery in Bristol. Unfortunately like so many of the other delis out there they measure every piece of meat they put on the grinders!!! It ends up looking like Subway all bread and NO meat!!! What happened to the good old days when you actually made a grinder there was actually more meat than the lettuce tomato onions peppers etc. read more

Wow what a great sandwich. I had the spicy Italian and it was the perfect blend of heat and flavor. Their horseradish sauce is to die for. They are the friendliest people. Found them on yelp as I am not from this area and if I am ever back I will go again Thanks read more

I got the meatloaf sandwich but I only got two bites through because the horseradish was literally unbearable. I will be coming back, just not getting that meatloaf sandwich ever again. My coworkers thought I was crying, but it was just the concentration of horseradish that almost blinded me. read more

An excellent store that stands alone, literally and figuratively. Extremely nice people there who are happy, and enthusiastic to help with anything you need. Love the family feel. I just discovered their Sandwiches!! Thus updating my review to 6 stars, 5 isn't enough. read more

Prob one of the best deli's in the state. The ppl are super friendly. And they have getting thru a rush down to a science. Always fresh and the choices are endless. Adding to go meals (cold) to the menu for later was a great idea esp if you live alone. Price wise they are on point. Value for the dollar is spot on. I commute for this place. Whenever I'm in town I always stop for a sammich and some deli. Best chicken Salad I have ever had. I always take a pound home! read more

Best sandwich shop ever! I live in PA but travel for work and I always look forward to venturing to the area so I can stop in here for lunch. They are so flexible with your order and also affordable. LOVE this place! read more

This is another hidden gem of Plainville. Jim's makes one of the best sandwiches (breakfast and lunch) in the area. The staff is super friendly. Once I bought sandwiches here and I told them I was headed to beach. They wrapped my sandwiches and put them in a tied plastic bag so they wouldn't get wet in my cooler. I didn't even have to ask! That's how nice they are. I have never gotten a bad sandwich and I've been coming here for at least 10 years. The bread is so good (from Harvest bakery) and they have a great selection of cheeses, condiments and boars head deli meats. It's a little pricer than a chain place like subway but it's well worth money!! My personal favorites are the kickin chicken and the Cameron. There are daily specials and if you don't see a sandwich you like, you can always create your own. Definitely go to Jim's deli if you get the chance, you won't be disappointed. read more

This place was the best find of my life. Their sandwich selection is unreal. Pretty much anything you want on a sub they have it! If you don't know what you want no worries because they have a ton of sandwiches already configured for you. On top of being a great place for a sub it's a cool store too with unique selections in chips, beer and soda. Highly recommend it! read more

Awesome!! We are passing through on our way to Boston from a little town in Pennsylvania and this place was just like home! I got the seafood salad hoagie and it was delicious. My husband got the Jake hoagie with honey ham honey turkey bacon, etc which was also delicious! Nothing fancy or special just a super fresh, yummy, friendly, and cozy sub shop :) high recommend for an on the road bite to eat! read more

One would never expect to get a quality meal from a tiny primarily convenience store but this place has the best sandwiches around! They have a whole wall of signature sandwiches, all at very reasonable prices. I go here for lunch on a weekly basis! read more

Jim's is not a sit down place, but don't be fooled. The sandwiches here are awesome! Love the Tasty Tuna and the Misstake, which is a sandwich with pot roast and ham. They get very creative here. Very affordable and definitely worth the trip! read more

Good place for grinder. Got the Italian combo. I will say it seemed fresh as far as meat and bread. Can't go wrong with harvest sub rolls. Lettuce is kinda big, they should switch to shredded. Gonna go back and try roast beef or chicken cutlet. It was good but not as good as the reviews here. Living in the area I think the problem is sub par delis. When u finally find a decent one it's amazing. This place is not bad, just not as good as everyone makes it out to be. read more

My office orders from Jim's every few weeks. My favorite sandwich is The Trucker is my favorite - teriyaki chicken with cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onion and sour cream. Last week I had their corn chowder - best I've ever had (don't tell my mom....). It's really thick, buttery, and they use smoked ham. Soooo good!! read more

Friendly staff, fast service, and fair prices. With a large selection of sandwiches, it can be somewhat hit or miss, but it usually ranges from average to great! They have a large amount of regulars, so it pays to call your order in ahead of time to insure a quick grab-and-go. read more

I heard about this sub shop and decided to try it. I had the large sub (footlong) called "Jim's Italian" (Salami, Capicola, Pepperoni, Ham) which cost me just under $14 (including a $1 tip). The meat for the sandwich was pre-sliced and stored in some wax paper. It had been stored this way for so long the colors from the pepperoni, had bled, and had stained all the other meat. The sandwich was OK, the quality, did not warrant the extra $5 in price, over competitors. read more

Love the attention to detail - the young gal made us an awesome lunch. We split the Morande wrap. It was just delicious! Definitely going there again! It's right down the road from the movie theatre. Oh, btw, get Swedish fish candies they're fresh! read more

Great customer service and delicious food! Prices were good and sandwiches were filled.

My hubby & I stopped here for a sandwich about 3 weeks ago. We ordered the toasted pastrami, Swiss, coleslaw, onion straws & red onion on a hard roll & had the woman put horseradish mayo on it. This sandwich was delicious! As a matter of fact, we enjoyed this sandwich so much that we went back this weekend for another one, but this time we wanted a larger portion because it was so good, so we ordered the identical sandwich on a grinder roll. This time a different woman prepared the sandwich. We did not enjoy this sandwich nearly as much as we did the first time. Upon analyzing the sandwich to determine why, we found that some of the red onion was so thick that it was overpowering the sandwich and the onion straws were left out! Apparently, this changed the entire dynamic of this sandwich. Consistency is key. We would have given this place a 5 star review based on the first sandwich, but because of the second sandwich, which should have tasted identical to the first, we feel that this place is more of a 3. read more

Best takeout sandwiches! Don't be scared off by the look of the building - be brave and head for the back of the store to order your food. We had the pastrami, chicken buffalo, the mistake and spanky's firefighter. The pastrami had bacon which added such a great extra layer of flavor. My son loved the spanky - said it was the best sandwich he has ever had. The buffalo was good but not over the top like the other sandwiches. We are not from Plainville but are looking for a reason to head back to the area just to get more sandwiches! Staff was very welcoming and friendly. read more

People are super nice and funny. I was so excited to try the Cameron but felt it was missing something. Got all the way through a realized they forgot the provolone. Really sucks cause I knew that would have tied the sandwich together. :( read more

Ordered a breakfast wrap with egg ham and cheese. I asked for extra cheese and the guy who made it insisted on yelling "extra dollar for the cheese" 3 times. I could care less about the fact that they charge $1 for one slice of cheese, but yelling that 3 times, he made me think it was a personal thing. Yes the breakfast wrap was terrible, but I won't be returning simply for the way I felt when I left. read more
