Jimmy John’s prints no secret menu at any counter. Regulars build off-menu combinations instead, each one starting from a numbered sandwich already on the board. The Flying Surfer and Noah’s Ark rank among the better-known requests.
Each build on the Jimmy John’s secret menu rings up at the price of the sandwich it starts from. Paid add-ons go on top. Base figures cover the 8-inch sandwich, from $8.19 for a #2 Big John® or #5 Vito® to $11.99 for a J.J. Gargantuan®. The 6.5-inch Little John rings up at $5.89.
The short answer
The Jimmy John’s secret menu covers 27 off-menu builds, each one modifying a numbered sandwich, Little John or Gargantuan already on the printed board. The Flying Surfer adds bacon to a #12 Beach Club®, and Noah’s Ark doubles the meat on a J.J. Gargantuan®. Base prices run from $5.89 to $11.99.

Jimmy John’s Secret Menu Items
The Jimmy John’s secret menu runs to 27 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.

Noah’s Ark doubles the meat on a standard Gargantuan, and The Dubbuhgutbustuh piles on two full extra orders of bacon beside it.

Counter Lingo at Jimmy John’s
Counter shorthand covers requests that work on any sandwich, so none of them names a base. LBI, short for leave bread in, skips the usual bread-scooping step on a scooped sandwich such as #1-#6 or the J.J.B.L.T.®. Stinky asks for extra onions and creamy asks for extra mayo.
Jimmy John’s regulars also say Yee Yee! to add Kickin’ Ranch® and moist to get extra sauce. All of these ride on top of a regular order, so the sandwich underneath sets the price.
