25. Plain Slim 1
With a name like “Plain Slim,” I wouldn’t blame you if you wanted to pass on this sandwich.
Though it’s not as flavorful or decked out as the other sandwiches, there’s definitely a time and a place for a Plain Slim.
The Slim 1 comes completely plain with only ham and cheese. No sauce, no veggies, no extras.
In other words, if there is a child or a very picky eater with you, they will probably be happy to order this sandwich.
Plus, you can customize your sandwich with add-ons or sauces to make it your own.
It may not be the most exciting option, but the Plain Slim is always there when you need it most.

23. Ultimate Porker Unwich
Some subs, like the Ultimate Porker, are just too heavy when served on bread. (Enter: the Ultimate Porker Unwich.)
With this meal, you get the smokey and salty flavor you love without the heaviness that sometimes comes with it.
The Ultimate Porker Unwich features hand-sliced smoked ham, crispy applewood-smoked bacon, lettuce, tomato, and mayo, all wrapped in iceberg lettuce instead of bread.

Who doesn’t love a bag of BBQ chips?
Barbecue comes in all shapes, sizes, and flavors. Jimmy John’s take on the flavor is sweet, smokey, and oh-so-satisfying.
Some BBQ chips tend to be too sweet or smokey, but these chips strike the perfect balance and taste like they’re spiced with classic BBQ rub rather than liquid smoke.
Since these are kettle cooked, you’ll find that these chips are thicker and much crunchier than your average potato chip.

11. Jumbo Kosher Dill Pickle
I couldn’t make this list without mentioning Jimmy John’s famous dill pickles!
These pickles have a cult following for two reasons: their vinegary sour flavor and satisfying crunch.
Jimmy John’s kosher dill pickles are some of the crunchiest around.
So crunchy, in fact, that some people specifically make trips to Jimmy John’s just for the pickle itself.
And yes, you can order a whole pickle for delivery or pickup with your next sub!
10. Chocolate Chip Cookie
There’s no cookie more classically American than the chocolate chip cookie.
Jimmy John’s took extra care to make sure their version paid proper homage to the iconic treat.
This cookie is special because it uses three types of chocolate – dark, milk, and white.
Jimmy John’s doesn’t skimp on the chocolate here.
The addition of salt and dark chocolate keeps this cookie from becoming overly sweet.
Plus, the chain exclusively uses Ghirardelli in its cookies, so you know you’re getting the best.
One Chocolate Chip Cookie contains 410 calories, 19g fat, and 32g sugar.
9. Kickin’ Ranch
It might seem blasphemous to have a condiment this high up on our list of the best Jimmy John’s menu items but hear me out.
Kickin’ Ranch is much more than a sauce – it transforms everything from sandwiches to Unwiches to potato chips.
Besides the obvious base of classic ranch sauce, Jimmy John’s adds buttermilk, peppers, and pepper juice to their concoction.
This makes for a tangier, richer version of classic ranch sauce.
Fans recommend dipping your sub in your cup of Kickin’ Ranch rather than spreading it across your sandwich.
This way, you get the full glory of the sauce with each bite.
Some even swear by dipping their plain or Jalapeno Jimmy Chips in the sauce.
One serving of Kickin’ Ranch contains 160 calories, 310mg sodium, and 15g fat.
8. Country Club
The Country Club is another classic that will appeal to everyone.

An 8” Cubano contains 720 calories, 37g fat, 30g protein, and 90mg cholesterol.

Where do I begin? The J.J. Gargantuan is an icon. It’s one of the most jam-packed subs you can buy at any chain.

2. The J.J. Gargantuan Unwich
If the regular J.J. Gargantuan sounds a little too much, let me introduce you to its lighter counterpart: the J.J. Gargantuan Unwich.
Packed inside a crisp lettuce shell are freshly sliced salami, capocollo, turkey, roast beef, and ham.
Somehow, Jimmy John’s can also fit fresh onion, lettuce, tomato, provolone, mayo, oil, vinegar, and an oregano-basil blend in there.

All these high-quality ingredients on Jimmy John’s famous freshly baked French bread make for a sandwich you won’t soon forget.
An 8” sub contains 850 calories, 57g fat, 45g protein, and 180mg cholesterol.
