Jimmy John’s Secret Menu Items

The Jimmy John’s secret menu runs to 32 off-menu builds, each one showing up often enough across ordering guides to track by name. Every build starts from a numbered sandwich, wrap or Gargantuan already on the printed board. A swapped bread option, an added topping or a specific combination is usually all it takes.

Gargantuan Rebuilds at Jimmy John’s

Five off-menu builds rework the J.J. Gargantuan®, Jimmy John’s biggest sandwich. Noah’s Ark doubles the meat on a standard Gargantuan, and The Dubbuhgutbustuh piles on two full extra orders of bacon beside it. The Flexin’ goes furthest of the five, ordering a bacon-added Gargantuan Unwich® style with hot peppers and no mayo.

Beach Club, Vito and Porker Rebuilds at Jimmy John’s

Fourteen off-menu builds rework the #12 Beach Club®, #5 Vito® or #17 Ultimate Porker™, the largest single group on the Jimmy John’s secret menu. The Flying Surfer adds bacon to a Beach Club, and LBI Tsunami doubles its turkey and avocado spread while leaving the bread unscooped. Italian Day Club and The Tito both build outward from the Vito, adding mayo, hot peppers and double cheese in stages.

Everyday Sandwich Rebuilds at Jimmy John’s

Nine builds start from the #10 Hunter’s Club®, #2 Big John®, #6 The Veggie® or the J.J.B.L.T.®. Surf and Turf adds tuna to a Big John, and California Club adds bacon to The Veggie. Bacon Burger Club, Hunter’s Gut Buster and Strip Club all pile on extra toppings, checkable against the item-by-item allergen breakdown before ordering.

Counter Lingo and Sizing Tricks at Jimmy John’s

Four requests change how an order gets built rather than which sandwich gets picked. Little Thrifty piles every free topping onto a smaller Little John sandwich, and LBI skips the usual bread-scooping step on request. Jimmy John’s regulars lean on shorthand like stinky, creamy and moist to add onions, mayo or sauce without further explanation.
