Jimmy John’s newest menu addition is stirring up opinions: Is it really worth a try?

Last week, the sandwich chain introduced the Picklewich for a limited period. This unique take on the classic Jimmy John’s sandwich uses “two halves of a crisp Jimmy Pickle” instead of regular bread.

The Picklewich lineup includes a Turkey Picklewich (turkey, provolone, lettuce, tomato), Vito Picklewich (salami, capocollo, provolone, onion, lettuce, tomato, oil and vinegar, oregano-basil) as well as the return of the Pickle Jimmy Chips (dill-flavored potato chips). Both sandwiches are served on a large kosher dill pickle.

In the past week, influencers have been visiting their nearby Jimmy John’s locations to share their reviews of this new, pickle-infused sandwich.

10 out of 10

Food enthusiast Anidas Lajaunie sampled the Turkey Picklewich and Pickle Jimmy Chips on Tuesday.

“I was super excited about this,” Lajaunie stated in his TikTok review. “I had to get it by 10:30 a.m.!”

After taking a big, crunchy bite, Lajaunie shook his head in surprise before going for another taste.

“I’m loving this a lot,” Lajaunie commented between bites. “Thank you, Jimmy John’s! I’m really happy. Yum!”

Antavia Lauren, a food and travel influencer from Atlanta, also gave the sandwich a thumbs up, scoring the Turkey Picklewich a seven out of ten and the Vito Picklewich a perfect 10. However, the chips didn’t quite meet her expectations.

“Jimmy John’s nailed the sandwiches, but these pickle chips? I’d say they’re more like a five,” she mentioned in her TikTok review.

But not all reviews are positive.

‘Save your cash’

“This isn’t good, and I adore pickles,” Maggie Sterling, a weight loss coach, articulated in her TikTok review of the Turkey Picklewich on Tuesday. “I’d suggest saving your cash.”

Content creator Kimberling Cherrell shared her thoughts on Wednesday, saying that while the Picklewich is worth a chance, its slippery nature doesn’t appeal to her.

“It’s worth trying once, but I probably won’t order it again,” Cherrell admitted in her TikTok review of the Vito Picklewich. “I just don’t like how the meat keeps slipping away from the bite.”

Brands chime in with support

As expected, the new sandwich has sparked comments from other brands on social media.

In response to the Jimmy John’s Instagram announcement about the Picklewich, various brands expressed their support.

“Can’t even talk,” remarked Cheez-It.

“It seems like something is missing,” commented Hellmann’s Mayonnaise, accompanied by double eye emojis.

“We’ve got the perfect drink to pair with that,” said cocktail mix brand Zing Zang.

How long will the Jimmy John’s Picklewich be available?
