Jimmy John’s Sandwiches

Jimmy John’s is a firm favorite among those who love fresh, organic, homemade offerings from their sandwich shop. All the bread is baked in Jimmy John’s, so you know you’ll get the freshest of the fresh, and their organic vegetables are bought locally to support family farms. For convenience, you can call ahead to order so that when you roll up in your new Ford Mustang GT convertible, the chefs at JJ’s can fill your backseat with the goods.

The top-selling sandwich at Jimmy John’s is the Italian Night Club, a delicious Italian sandwich made with hand-sliced salami, capocollo, smoked ham, and oregano basil. Traveling with kids? Try out the Little John #3, a yummy, child-sized tuna sandwich with a fun selection of add-ons to keep the little ones happy.

Garden Deli

Last but certainly not least, the Garden Deli is one of Illinois’s top-rated sandwich stops! Don’t be fooled by their simple menu; this place creates high-quality sandwiches with an excellent selection of bread and toppings.

For something a little different, try Garden Deli’s Rockin’ Reuben with sauerkraut, corned beef, and Swiss cheese. However, if you’re starving and ready for a flavor explosion, we encourage you to order the Winner and all-time Chomp (turkey, salami, ham, pepperoni, roast beef, Swiss, and Provolone cheese).
