The price point for the meal was pretty great considering wings have become so expensive lately. The fries were cooked well and I love that they have malt vinegar. I wish the wings were just a little more juicier I think because they smoke them and then fry them. Mines got a little dry. I also wish that the robe was just a little saltier that I would definitely eat here again.

The breading was seasoned satisfactorily and it gripped the onion so it didn't slide out when I took a bite. Even the biggest one the onion didn't slide one bit Once I got back to work I ate the sandwich, it was still warm! Excellent cut of chicken and the breading was delicious. I opted to add bacon for an extra crunch and it was flavorful and crispy but not too salty. Very friendly staff and a nice spot with good ambience if you want to grab a drink or a meal. Would go back!

He called me on my cellphone because they "didn't have steak sauce for my veggie sub" which I responded that it was most likely my fiancee's sub, he was already inside and heard the conversation and stood up to clarify and show the online order to this man and as I was in the middle of the sentence that said it was okay and that he was already inside I was hung up on midsentence. I clearly did not add steak sauce on my veggie sub. I than went inside to witness the gentleman scream at the line workers. I was very disgusted with his behavior however the men making our subs continued to smile and complete the order. I work at a lot of houses near the solon Di'Bella's subs and would like to see the employees treated better. The subs were delicious as always!! The gentlemen don't need to be treated as they were this evening

A bit later I got an email from a third party that I was VERIFIED! Yeah baby, take me to the subs! No. I entered the sub I wanted, was apparently forced to select a 3 dollar beverage that I don't really want. Was force to pick out a bag of chips which, I also don't especially want. I was only trying to get 2 5 inch sized sandwiches. Tried to pay. The system that verified me wouldn't allow me to log in. I really thought I was going to be able to order online, but it didn't work out. The thing is, I live a couple of minutes up the road for the past like 8 years and haven't ever gone in there or ordered. I did try ordering in person a few weeks ago, walked in and the employees were having a grand old time, heck I thought, this will be quick, stood over in front of the register and started waiting. I waited awhile. Guy at table looked to be enjoying his meal. Still waiting. Employees engaged in a jovial conversation. I waited in front of the cash register. Waited a little while more. Left. Two strikes DiBella, can't order online, can't order in person. I'm going to try sending a postcard. That'll work.

Everyone flocks to Chipotle, yet the line is often out the door and around the corner... and alas, Jimmy John's is literally across the street. There's never a wait. Sometimes I just cannot handle going into the surrounding establishments with insane lines. And there, across the street, is Jimmy John's, waiting for me. They make your sandwich incredibly fast. Sure, my order has been wrong here a few times, but usually, its correct. This location makes the quality, consistent sandwiches one comes to expect from a Jimmy John's. Its super reliable. Literally, from the time you walk in, until the time you leave with your orders, is maybe under 5 minutes. They don't deliver, but then again, they are a smaller establishment (only a few tables in the shop). Also, I really love that you can substitute the bread on the sandwiches with a salad wrap (the "unwhich"). Alright, Jimmy John's, you fly under the radar but continue to suck me in, especially when my anxiety about lines kicks in.

I took my father there on Sunday April 19th at 5pm. Before I get started with the negative, I would like the manager of this location to know that they are very lucky to have Maddy as an employee. Now for the bad: when we walked in, at least four tables were filthy. Three tables had their chairs up like they were getting ready to close and there were three dirty tables in the back. We sat at the only clean table. The employee named Katy should no longer be working there. I don't know how anybody gets paid to be that rude to people. She didn't smile she didn't say hello when I told her I didn't come there often she wasn't helpful. I only ordered two sandwiches and drinks. It was a low maintenance order and she literally made me feel bad for making her take the time to wait on me. It was a horrible customer experience. While I was there, some guy came in who had gone home and come back because he was given the wrong sandwich. I didn't hear her apologize once. I took a picture and it's posted on this website of the overflowing trash area. The picture that I posted doesn't include our trash. I had to put our trash on top of the pile of trash. The place was a mess. I will say there is potential in the employee name Maddy she was super excited about the company and how they keep things fresh. She was excited to talk about the company and seemed proud. To the management, this place needs one heck of a makeover in every sense of the word

I have not been to this location in many many years. It seems they have had a complete remodel inside and it kind of resembles an old-school diner, but I have now since come back multiple times and each time I can say that the staff is very nice and accommodating... Vicky has been my server the last couple times and she's very nice. My favorite goat to of course, is a big boy with a side of onion rings, but probably my second favorite is a pretty basic sandwich called the Slim Jim. Onion rings are a little bit of an up charge as well as waffle fries. I would also recommend the chili as a starter for $5.99. The last best part is they give a 20% military discount. Make sure to ask for it and show proper military identification but when any restaurant does this I think it's a very nice gesture.
