A Vegan Lunch At Jimmy John's In Cullman AL

Cullman AL doesn't have many vegan options, just the limited fast food choices. I found this Jimmy John's near downtown a while back. I went in and bought a bag of chips and a drink just to scope the place out. After doing some research, I made a return visit to try something more.

I found one sandwich on the menu that looked like it could be made vegan. This is a #6 The Veggie minus provolone and mayo. I made it a combo with the Original Jimmy Chips and a drink.


My first impression of the sandwich was good. The food was beautifully and carefully prepared. The bread was smooth and firm. I liked the shredded lettuce. The tomatoes and cucumbers were thinly sliced. Everything looked fresh.

The taste of the sandwich was good, however it was not as full as I would prefer. Once I put my hands around the sandwich, the two halves of the bread almost closed together completely. It was an empty sandwich. This was the sandwich omnivores think vegans eat. It was as if I ordered a meat sandwich with a few veggies on top, but said "oh, just hold the meat". But what I did have was pretty good for what it was. Being my first time, I did not know they would be cool with adding additional toppings. Next time I will add more optional veggies like avocado, sprouts, and onion. I could also add two kinds of mustard.

The sweet tea was great. I knew from my first visit about the Jimmy Chips, They were excellent.

This Jimmy John's was clean and quiet at the time of this visit. The service was very friendly. My only concern as a vegan is with the possible cross-contamination during slicing. They could be using a shared slicer. Another thing to think about with Jimmy John's is the reports of animal cruelty by the chain's owner. That's a another issue though. I try to keep this blog positive and focus on the food. Based on my own personal experience during this visit, I do expect to return to Jimmy John's in the future.
