Wanted my bread toasted, and after being told it couldn't be for the type of sandwich I was ordering, a wise decision was made, and they toasted it. I eat here often, and depending on who is working, either they will or won't. And if they decline, I go elsewhere to eat. - Frederick Williams

Jimmy John's Introduce

For residents and visitors in the Tempe, Arizona area, when the craving for a fresh, high-quality sub sandwich hits, few names are as synonymous with speed and fresh ingredients as Jimmy John's. The location at 840 E Southern Ave is a local staple, embodying the brand's commitment to "Freaky Fast" service and "Freaky Fresh" sandwiches. This establishment is more than just a quick-service restaurant; it is a reliable destination for lunch, dinner, and even catering needs across the region.

The foundation of every Jimmy John's sandwich is the bread, which is baked fresh in-house daily. This dedication to freshness extends to the premium, hand-sliced meats and locally sourced vegetables that adorn the menu's wide selection of gourmet subs. The atmosphere is consistently casual and welcoming, making it a popular spot for college students from nearby campuses, busy professionals, and families seeking a satisfying meal in a clean, quiet environment.

The menu is designed to cater to all appetites, from the standard 8-inch originals to the massive 16-inch "Giant" versions. Classic options like the #1 The Pepe® (ham and provolone) and the #4 Turkey Tom® (turkey breast) offer familiar comfort. However, the store is also keeping up with contemporary tastes, having recently expanded its offerings to include a variety of Toasted Sandwiches and limited-time innovations like the Sicilian Pizza Sandwich.

For those seeking something truly substantial, the legendary The J.J. Gargantuan® is a local marvel. This enormous creation features five different meats—salami, capocollo, turkey, roast beef, and ham—layered with provolone cheese and topped with onion, lettuce, tomato, Hellmann's® mayo, oil & vinegar, and oregano-basil. It's an epic sandwich that truly lives up to its name. Alternatively, customers can opt for lighter fare with the Little Johns®, miniature versions of the Originals, or the "Unwich®," which replaces the bread entirely with a crisp lettuce wrap for a healthy, carb-free alternative.

Accompanying the subs is a perfect selection of sides, including their famous Regular Jimmy Chips®, available in flavors like Salt & Vinegar, Jalapeño, and BBQ ($2.39). For something unique, be sure to try the PESTO BOWTIE PASTA SALAD or the HOME STYLE POTATO SALAD ($3.59 each). The option to add a Jumbo Kosher Dill Pickle ($2.39) or the creamy Kickin' Ranch ($0.69) for dipping elevates the entire experience.

What is Worth Choosing

For Arizona locals and visitors to the Tempe area, what makes Jimmy John's at 840 E Southern Ave a great choice is the consistent combination of product quality and unmatched speed.

If you want the full, classic experience, order the #9 Italian Night Club®, a favorite that includes salami, capocollo, and ham, with provolone, lettuce, tomato, onion, oil & vinegar, and oregano-basil. Pair it with a bag of BBQ Jimmy Chips® for a perfect pairing. However, if you're looking for something new and hot, trying one of the Toasted Sandwiches is highly recommended. The new limited-time pizza subs, like the meat-heavy SICILIAN PIZZA SANDWICH, offer a savory and innovative take on the brand's classic French bread.

The commitment to fresh bread baked all day long ensures that, regardless of what you choose—a simple Plain Slims® or the giant Gargantuan—the bread will always be at its freshest.
