If Jersey Mike's is amazing, I'd hate to know what you consider average, or what's considered shitty.
In my opinion, Jersey Mike's is average and Subway is shitty. I've never tried Jimmy John's.

I've had great Jersey Mike's and really bad Jersey Mike's.
All sandwiches boil down to quality control of the ingredients.. any instance of a chain can fail at that unfortunately.

They'll alright. I haven't seen one in years, the only one we had down here shut down years ago. I loved their pastrami sammich.
For subs, I do love me some Publix.
JJ is my goto place if I need a quick bite, I also really like that you can get all the sandwiches wrapped in lettuce instead of bread. I had jersey mike's a few weeks ago and it was good. If I had one closer to my house I would probably go more often. I love firehouse but its more about the sauces, especially the house sauce they have. Jimmy johns pisses me off with delivery areas, I live 2.2 miles from them and they wont deliver to my house.

Everyone who met Jimmy said he's an asshole.
Never tried Jimmy Johns. Used to eat at Firehouse Subs every once in a while because it was right next to my place of employment/they had a TV/and it had that drink machine. Then one day I ate at Penn Station which is also nearby, I never looked back. The subs, the fries, so good. Kind of pricy though.

Except Firehouse is primarily hot subs and in a league of their own.
I said in my post earlier Firehouse for hot and JJ for cold. I think hot or cold subs are different enough to not be lumped together.

Not enough vegitables on Jimmy John's sandwiches.

I haven't been to Jimmy Johns ever, but then again I'm not a major sandwich fan. When I want to get a sandwich, I usually go to Which Wich or The Great Outdoors. They're both local chains in the North Texas area, though the latter chain's a lot older and has the lesser sandwiches. I just go to the GO because of the '70s atmosphere of most of its locations. Which Wich is more cosmopolitan, and puts out some great stuff. Newspapers everywhere to read.

I actually really dislike Jimmy John's. Not sure if it counts but the sub shop at a Wegmans store is my favorite. Potbellys is okay.

Your taste is awful, mine is great!
I actually like JJ's. They have some good subs and I think it's better than Sunway. They sell day-old loafs for 50 cent. I'll pick one up and make a sandwhich at home later sometimes. They have the kind of bread I like better as it gets older.

I did love Jimmy Johns but now I love it more than I actually love it.

The Bobbie. Best sandwich i've ever had.
Too bad there are none even remotely close to me.
I had never even heard of capriotti's until I moved to Phoenix, lived in Nebraska, and it is incredible. None of the processed sliced meats you find everywhere else. I got back and forth between the bobbie and the cheese steak because both are amazing.

Portillo's > Potbelly > Penn Station > Jimmy Johns. All are incredible though. Also, even Jimmy John agrees that Portillo's is the best.
Two whole locations?! Spread out all over San Francisco?! WHOA. YEAH BEST CHAIN EVER.

I don't get the love. Get so much better at random delis and Publix supermarkets. Jimmy Johns is so meh, and one of the weakest selections of choices. They are fast because of the lack of options.

Jimmy Johns is awesome, and now I want it. I also enjoy Jersey Mikes, Potbellies, Quiznos (which is no longer anywhere around here), Penn Station, and DiBellas.
Am I the only one around here who has a DiBellas? They've exploded in my area recently, and you will be in for a real treat with them.
Either way, I can't pick a favorite sub shop. All the ones I listed are good, and provide something different. I just find it very hard to end up at Subway. I have a a few gift cards for there that I've had for years.

As a worker at JJs, I'm obligated to say they're the best.
I actually do like them more than Subway though.

I do not avoid women, GAF, but I do deny them my essence.
Exactly. And I do. Firehouse is my favorite.

I've never had a Jimmy Johns but there is one fairly close to me. I reckon I'll have to change that. Love a good cold sandwich.
Wegmans has great subs in a pinch. Subway is fast food but at least a good tasting and healthy ish alternative (depending on what you get, you can go to Subway and eat like shit).
Deli sub will always rain king. Sometimes on my way to therapy I stop at this great deli and get a sandwich. I would today but I just bought some cold cuts yesterday anyway.

I have both Jimmy Johns and Subways near by. I lean towards Subway , maybe because I can have it "My Way" everything on it and yes Jalapenos.
Veggie Unwich, no cheese, mayo, add avacado. Still pretty good, but was god tier when they still had sprouts.
Yep.
This basically sums it up for me. If I want something cold and light, JJs wins out every time. If I want a giant hot sub, then Which Wich is the best.

Planet Sub is probably my favorite. They were just a KC thing, but now they're starting to branch out more: http://www.planetsub.com/locations
I'd never actually ordered an Unwich before, just looked it up.
That is some clever stuff
They're good, but unless you are really, really tightly controlling your carb intake, the whole grain bread is worth it. Has a very pleasant, nutty taste and the crust is like candy. Just amazing.
The french bread is equally as good, but I'm trying to lose weight, so can't go there right now.
