Jimmy John's - Tampa

I visited during lunch on a weekday and was surprised to be in and out in under 5 minutes. I ordered the Club Lulu with some extras, and it was delicious. The bread was soft, and while the toppings weren't overwhelming, they were satisfying. Paying with Apple Pay made the process quick and convenient. The restaurant was also very clean. I will definitely return.

Out of the three staff members I observed at the register (the others were focused on food preparation), only one informed a patron who wasn’t wearing a mask that masks were required to enter. He even offered the customer a disposable mask to wear while placing his order, which prompted the customer to pull out his own mask and put it on. I also noticed that when the staff were refilling the ice machines, the ice buckets were resting directly on the floor, which is a hygiene concern, and I saw this happen with two buckets. However, the same employee who had asked the customer to wear a mask was very diligent in sanitizing the customer side of the counter, the register, and all surfaces that customers came into contact with while ordering during the quieter moments. I want to thank him for taking these important measures, although I didn’t catch his name.

When I went to get my drink, I noticed the soda machine was out of ice. Additionally, the store hours weren't posted on the front, and while Google stated they opened at 11 AM, they actually opened at 10:30 AM. I walked in at 10:30 AM and when I asked if they were open, the employee seemed surprised by my question. I saw people sitting outside and, when I finished my meal around 10:50 AM, I walked out. Two other customers noticed me coming out and realized the restaurant was indeed open. It seems the franchise owner may not be fully aware of the situation at this location.

Slowest JJ I 've ever been too, took 30 minutes to get a sandwich... Better off driving to Wawa or Subway nearby if you want a freaky fast sandwich.

Staff is rude. Like another review mentions, I?m sure the franchise owner has no idea what?s going on at this store. Just because you?re miserable at your job doesn?t mean you should take it out on the customers. Go to the store around the corner on Kennedy instead, it?s worth the drive.
