I can't answer with these options. It is simply good, but not the bomb in any way. Better than Blimpie/Subway/Quiznos. Not as good as Jason's Deli, etc. Mid-level sandwich shop.

Customer Service Sucks

I used to be a fan. I hate them now.

There are two by us. We live in a tiny void on the map that is apparently outside both their delivery areas. (One delivers West of 60th Street, one goes East of 64th. We live on 61st.) We were able to convince one location to drive the extra block to deliver to us. There were no issues for probably 20 orders over the course of a year. Then one day, we called in an order, they took it, and we waited.

45 minutes went by and we called them. They said we were outside their delivery zone and they wouldn't deliver. They weren't planning on calling us to let us know. They just cancelled the order without telling us.

So I am boycotting them now. Total BS.

never had an issue, walk in, leave within 3 minutes with a delicious sandwich. We are not comparing to NY delis and $10 sandwich shops which are obviously better. In the 5 dollar sub range, is it the bomb or not?

Im a fan, love it. Nice to have something better than subway poppingf up for when I dont want a $10 sandwich.

go eat it! its good. Its not incredible but vs a regul;ar shop like quizno, subway etc its the bomb. youll have a line today but typically you get your sandwich before they can count your change. (and not because of slow change counters)

Is everything
JJ is OK but nothing special, so I voted No. I prefer Togo's. The Potbelly's chain in the Midwest is the bomb, wish we had them here.

Yes because it is PRE MADE. It is the same crap you can get at the tubs in the grocery store.

All that crap is pre-made

Subway has gotten better and they no longer have all the meat pre-packaged to the point where they just peel away the separating film and place it on your sandwich - but it's still pretty much a joke

Most of those places are awful - subway is about the worst of them .... JJ isn't as bad, but definitely not the bomb

I'd rather go to AJs, Romanellis or a variety of little places that can actually make a sandwich .... even my po-dunk home town had good places where you could go in and get a legit sandwich

There aren't as many options out here for such places, but they do exist and they are the bomb and aren't that expensive ... may cost a touch more, but worth it (and price point to price point put places like jasons deli to shame)

If I'm gonna have a sandwich, then I want a good freaking sandwich. I'll pay the $10. No to JJs, Subway and the like.

I dont see why you guys compare flemings to applebees. Of course the high end places are better. Seems pretty obvious to me.

"applebees is garbage compared to the best restauraunt on the planet with $200 plates"

and BTW every sandwich is the same crap you buy at a grocery store. Most top end delis sell Boars head meat.

I voted Yes. I like it. I don't mind any of those places (Subway, Blimpie, Quizno's, etc). Its pretty much all pre made, frozen crap. If I want some fresh good sandwiches I will go someplace else that will certainly cost more ( Jason's Deli or similar) but all these places are pretty much the same in my opinion.

One place I have been going to by my work pretty frequently is Firehouse Subs. I like theirs as well.

I have never heard anyone say they don't like Jason's let alone going as far as "hot garbage". Their stuff is great. It's fresh, you get a ton of meat, a lot of variety, salad bar is the shizzle, kids eat free a lot, and you get ice cream.
