Jimmy John’s

Glad they put a Jimmy Johns in El Paso. The best nationwide chain for a quick sub sandwich. I don’t really like Subway that much so it makes me happy. The chips and sandwiches they put out are just better than them. Every time I ordered here my subs were ready in no time and tasted fine.

Favorite spot to get a sub, always get a club, the others are short on meat. Service varies depending on who is working, but usually good and fast

I was disappointed in the sandwich. For the price paid I would expect a little more meat. I ordered a turkey and cheese sandwich.

15 minutes on the phone to order 1 sandwich. The person couldn’t take down a street address or a proper order. Finally the manager got on the phone to say they wouldn’t deliver around the block. Ridiculous and incompetent.

I live aprox. 1.6 miles from this location, and it’s out of their «delivery area». Good subs though.

These are the best subs and clubs out there, EL PASO finally has a Jimmy Johns. Unlike subway these subs and clubs are super fast, even on deliveries the order is taken out so fast. MAKE SURE TO JIMMY IT UP OR ASK FOR FREEBIES!

Jimmy John’s, I get the appeal. JJ serves up real deal sub sandwiches. Am I implying that you can get a sub that’s not the «real deal»? Yes, yes you can… I’m looking at you Subway. JJ is not messing around when it comes to feeding you subs that taste like a sub made at a NY deli where they purchase the bread from a nearby bakery and the meats and cheeses are tested for the best tastability.
My boyfriend has been a fan of JJ for a while now and when we got on the conversation of JJ with Albert K., they both made me feel like I NEEDED to go to a JJ like last year. El Paso’s first JJ opened up not too far from our neck of the woods so we made our way there this past weekend.
This JJ is located in the same area as the Neighborhood Walmart so I can imagine that some days parking may be a little hectic, but we went on a Sunday and were able to get a spot right in front. The inside of JJ is tight. Even though there’s a high school right across the street, it doesn’t seem like they’re really pushing for dine-​in. But it was pretty empty so we decided to dine-​in. I really like that all of their wall décor is snarky JJ-​isms and such, like telling me my mom wants me to eat at JJ and «no hippies».
So you order at the counter and when we stepped up, I was a little confused by the difference between the «Sub» and «Club» sections. What if I want a Club option on a Sub? Turns out the Club options can still be put on their delicious French bread so essentially you can put a Club on a Sub. Even with this knowledge, I still chose a Sub option after talking to the cashier about her faves and the most popular she’s seen. I kept it pretty simple and went with the #1 — Pepe. The Pepe has ham, provolone, lettuce, tomato, and mayo.
Keeping with the snarky theme (and when I say «snarky», it’s a good kind of snarky), some of the employees had shirts that said something along the lines of «Food so fast, it will shock you.» Something like that. I hadn’t seen the shirts before we ordered, but once we ordered, the cashier asked me a couple of questions like if I wanted to add anything to my sub and then we paid. And then they literally handed us our subs. I’m not kidding, the wait time for our food once ordered was mere seconds… maybe two seconds. And two seconds is probably actually long for a JJ so in case corporate is reading this, I just want to clarify that it took two whole seconds because I wasted time saying «Holy sh*t, that was fast.»
The French bread was super fragrant and it kind of reminded me of my childhood, eating fresh breads and the best subs. Good flavors and smells do that for me. The ham was delicious and I like that it was wrapped in the provolone. Every bite was consistent and I could taste every single thing on that sandwich. Quite tasty.
I also ordered their chips because they make their own freakin’ chips. That’s really stepping the game up. They were good, just simple kettle cooked chips.
I can’t quite remember the price of the sandwiches, but I remember they were decent in price and I did feel full when I was done. The price doesn’t include a drink or chips or cookies or whatever side you’re currently feeling, but again the prices weren’t anything crazy.
I’m completely sold on JJ. Their subs are delicious and I can’t wait to try more. And the icing on the cake? They deliver. (Sorry, they don’t have cake).

It’s no secret that Jimmy John’s is my favorite sandwich chain, and I am ecstatic that it is finally available in El Paso! Aside from fond memories of years past, I really like the Deli feel to their subs, plus they always aim and take pride in their speed, so it really is fast food.
For the unfamiliar, Jimmy John’s offers a plethora of sub sandwiches with numerous deli meats. My favorite is the JJ Gargantuan, which is a gigantic sub with just about all the meats and veggies, it’s not for the faint of heart, figuratively and literally.
I’m trying to eat a little more sensibly, so instead of a Gargantuan, my first sandwich was a Vito, which is a classic Italian deli sub, I always get a pickle as my side instead of chips, because health. The dining area is small, but I’m happy to report that the El Paso sandwiches live up to my Jimmy John’s expectations!
You’re probably not as excited about JJ as I am, but I am sure you will still find their sandwiches good. I currently have a 1 hour round-​trip to visit here and it’s still worth it, hopefully us lowly Eastsiders will get a JJs in the near future.
