Went to the one in Johnston, off Merle Hay, and the lady told me to go back to the end of the line for a second one. Needless to say, I did. Only about a 5 min wait.

I was just at the Merle Hay JJs at 3:20. They were totally out of bread.

I thought it was supposed to go from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Or do you mean you just wanted a regular price sandwich?

I really need to try Sub City, but I never think of it. If I'm looking for a sandwich within walking distance of campus I go:

#1 JJ's
#2 Lago Cafe
#3 Go home and make a sandwich

Can't stand Subway, especially waiting in line for the one at the MU.

Line at Lago isn't much better some days... Have you done the full sandwich at Lago? Gotta put in work to finish it.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Planet Sub yet. It's fantastic, just pricey..

Outside of IA, Potbelly, hands down.

True. Luckily I work across the street so if I run over there before classes get out at 11:50 there is not much of a line. I have not tried the full, but judging from the half I can believe it would be tough. I think the grad students in my department keep that place in business so everyone is always very friendly and most of the workers recognize me, which is always nice.

I haven't tried Planet Sub either. I'll have to do that as well. Any recommendations? I generally like Italian sandwiches with lots of oil and vinegar.

Yes, I just wanted a sandwich at regular price. I didn't know about the $1 subs until this afternoon and by the time I got there it was too late. I had maybe 7 minutes to get a sub before my first student of the day only to find out they were out of bread. They had the day old stuff but the guy behind the counter told me they aren't allowed to make subs out of it.

I'll be going to Quiznos later.

I've eaten at the Planet Sub across from campus a couple of times, and I've really liked it.
Depending on when I do my final next week, I may do it next week.
