# Jimmy John's Menu: Full Prices, Best Subs & Deals (2026)

By Daniel Rozin | A Versus B | January 4, 2027

Jimmy John's is a sub sandwich chain founded in 1983 in Charleston, Illinois by Jimmy John Liautaud. With over 2,800 US locations, Jimmy John's built its brand on two pillars: fresh-baked French bread and "Freaky Fast" delivery — a delivery speed so reliable that the chain used to claim 15-minute delivery windows before staffing realities made that a liability. Every loaf of bread is baked in-store each morning, and meats are sliced to order rather than pre-sliced at a central facility. An 8-inch sub runs $7.49–$9.99 and a Giant (16-inch) runs $12.49–$14.99. Here is the full Jimmy John's menu with 2026 prices.

Jimmy John's Menu Prices (2026)#

Subs (8-inch)#

Jimmy John's numbers its subs — ordering by number is standard practice.

Giant Subs (16-inch)#

Giant subs are exactly 16 inches — double the bread, double the meat. Priced roughly $4–$5 more than the 8-inch equivalent and serve two adults comfortably.

Slim Subs (No Cheese or Veggies)#

Slim subs are "protein plus bread only" — no cheese, no veggies, no condiments. The cleanest version of each protein and ~$1.50 cheaper than the full sub equivalent.

Best Items at Jimmy John's#

1. Vito (#5) — $8.99. Salami, capicola, provolone, onion, oil & vinegar, and oregano on French bread with lettuce and tomato. This is the Italian cold cut sub. The combination of two pork cured meats with oil-and-vinegar dressing is the most complex flavor on the menu. The French bread holds up to the oil without becoming soggy — a genuine advantage over softer sub breads.

2. Turkey Tom (#4) — $8.99. Turkey breast, provolone, mayo, lettuce, and tomato. Simplest club sub on the menu and consistently the best-selling item at Jimmy John's. The turkey is thinly sliced real turkey breast (not formed turkey log) and the bread is the real differentiator versus Subway.

3. Italian Night Club (#9) — $9.49. Salami, capicola, ham, provolone, oil, dijon mustard, onion, oregano, lettuce, and tomato. Three pork meats plus provolone, Italian-dressed. The most flavor-per-dollar sub on the menu and the most likely to convert someone who thinks Jimmy John's is just a mediocre chain.

4. Ultimate Porker (#17) — $9.99. Ham, bacon, mayo, lettuce, and tomato. The name is accurate: two pork proteins on French bread. The bacon is crispy and the ham is thick-sliced. Simpler than the Italian Night Club but satisfying for a pork-forward preference.

5. Bootlegger Club (#14) — $9.49. Roast beef and turkey, provolone, mayo, lettuce, and tomato. The combination of roast beef and turkey is unexpected and works — the beef adds umami depth to the turkey's lightness. A sleeper pick that most first-time customers overlook.

Jimmy John's Deals & Value Tips#

Order online for accurate pickup timing. In-store orders at peak lunch hours can have 5–10 minute waits. App and online orders are queued and ready faster during rush because they do not compete for counter attention.

The Slim Subs are the best value. A Slim 4 (Turkey) at $6.99 is the same turkey breast on the same bread as the Turkey Tom ($8.99) minus the cheese and vegetables. If you are price-sensitive, order Slim and add jalapeños (free) and hot peppers (free) for flavor.

Add avocado spread ($1.00) to any club sub. The avocado spread — a simple mashed avocado preparation — adds creaminess that significantly improves the Turkey Tom, Country Club, and any club sub that uses mayo as the primary fat. One of the best $1 upgrades in fast food.

Giant subs for groups are efficient. At $12.49–$14.99, a Giant feeds two people for $6.25–$7.50 per person — meaningfully less than two individual 8-inch subs at $8.99–$9.49 each.

Is Jimmy John's Worth It in 2026?#

Jimmy John's is the best fast food chain for cold sub sandwiches in the US, ahead of Subway on bread quality and Jersey Mike's on price. The fresh-baked French bread is the product differentiator — it has a chewy crust, soft interior, and handles oil-and-vinegar dressing without disintegrating. The meats are genuinely sliced to order at most locations. The weakness of Jimmy John's is the condiment and vegetable selection, which is narrower than Subway's: no ranch, no chipotle sauce, no banana peppers. If you want customization depth, Subway wins. If you want the best sub bread and actual speed, Jimmy John's wins.
