I used to eat at the original JJ’s in Charleston Il in the 1980’s. I can’t remember anything particularly good or bad about the food. My major complaint was their drive-thru speaker {my buddies rented a house across the street from JJ’s}. All night long that speaker would be blaring into the night :mad:… Drunk college kids made that place a fortune. . ---

> [@Chicagojeff](#): > > i sometimes hit subway **because in uniform i get my grub for free.**. never messed with JJ yet… the one i know of is nexxt to a chik fila… and i can’t sacrifice chik fila for some cold ass sandwich… (bolding mine) What? I mean, I knew ducks ate for free at subway, but I’ve never heard about this in uniform thing. Is that everywhere? Armed Forces? Police? Mall cops? ---

Mine has the single most Horrible week-old pastry served-as-bread that has ever been served to man!

I got really spoiled with my former boyfriend who used to take me to the nicest places to eat, and even though we’re through, I now insist on only the best. It’s got to be an ex-caliber restaurant.
