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.

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.

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.
