Jimmy Johns

Hope: I ordered the Vito eight-inch sub sandwich. This includes Genoa salami, provolone cheese, onion, lettuce, tomato and I ordered mayonnaise instead of the original Italian vinaigrette. While ordering, I told them I wanted no onions, extra mayonnaise and wheat bread instead of white. I was expecting to get just that but instead, I received my sandwich on white bread, with onions and almost no mayonnaise. It was very unfortunate. I decided to go back and give them a second chance. My second time at Jimmy John’s was much more enjoyable. I once again ordered the Vito sub sandwich with mayonnaise instead of vinaigrette and this time, it was absolutely perfect.

    The employees at Jimmy John’s were very polite, which is why I had high expectations for the sandwich. Even though it came out to be switched around the first time, the flavors were all still there and even better when my order came out to be correct the second time. As I walked in, I noticed a few people in line ordering and a few people sitting down but it wasn’t too crowded. The employees made sure I felt welcome both times by greeting me when it was my turn in line to order as well.

Subway

Hope: As I walked into Subway for the first time in my life, there were many respectable things that caught my eye. As soon as I walked in the door a young, female worker greeted me by saying, “Hello, welcome to Subway!” This made me feel very welcome around the two other families who were waiting in line for their meals. Another thing that I liked about the restaurant is that they had multiple colors from red, yellow, green, blue and orange all along the walls. The colors fit the personality of every one of the employees that I talked with during my experience as they were all very polite and full of energy.

   My six-inch long BMT [bigger, meatier, tastier] on Italian bread including salami, black smoked ham and American cheese was full of different flavors and textures that seemed to come to life the moment they hit my taste buds. I can honestly say I was impressed. Adding black olives, lettuce and mayonnaise tied the sandwich together very pleasantly, creating a freshness that I was expecting based on other reviews. I enjoyed being able to customize my own sandwich and I liked how they asked me questions going down the line to make sure they knew exactly what I wanted.

   Ten minutes waiting in line may seem like a long time for a sandwich, but the precise amount of everything and the fact that I was full and satisfied after eating the sandwich made the wait worth going back.

Planet Sub

Kati:   Planet Sub offers hearty, healthy subs, wraps and salads. At Planet Sub I got the creamy club, which included oven roasted turkey, bacon, cream cheese, sprouts, tomatoes and mayonnaise. I decided to get a whole sub; it was huge and very filling. I have never eaten sprouts before, but eating them on my sandwich was a great idea, because the sprouts really added a crunch to my sandwich.  I love all the individual ingredients that were in my sandwich by themselves, but having them all together on a sandwich on well-made, tasty toasted bread was amazing.

   There are vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options. Planet Sub never settles for less than fresh baked bread and it shows. They bake their bread daily from scratch. When you walk into Planet Sub you can witness first hand the bread being made. After you order your meal, you receive a card from a deck of cards; I got an ace of hearts. This was a fun and unique way to decipher whose order is who’s and was very effective. As you’re waiting for your food you can sit at a booth or table and admire the décor, the atmosphere was cozy and relaxed.

    If you get a whole sub like I did and eat it all you will go into a food coma, but it will be well worth it. Planet Sub is hearty and healthy and will leave you wanting to come again.
