Mister Jim's - Exceptional Cheesesteaks, Sandwiches, and Burgers in Chesapeake, VA

Love this place. It's one of my favorite sub shops. Highly recommend the Cajun steak.

Love their barbecue subs, gotta be the best place to get barbecue in Chesapeake. And they got great steak'um style steak and cheese subs to die for.

1st time here: nice decorations inside, clean men's bathroom, bunch of high school kids working all nice. Had the large Cajun chicken....really dry sandwich needed more mayo or something... also toasted too much like way too crispy. Large home cut fries!!!!!! Wow!!!! The best and shared for 2 people, like really good fries. Also had a meatball sandwich... average to above average. Over all... nice job I'll try some other sandwiches soon and of course another large fry.

Heard this place has been around for I think 40-50 years, and when you taste the food you understand how and why. I ordered takeout so I didn't get to enjoy the interior setting, but it the food was ready quick and the price is pretty amazing so service is grade A. Personal pizza? Spectacular! The salad? Flawless! The subs? Wicked b*tchin! Every bite was an explosion of flavor and pure satisfaction in terms of texture! I'm a grown man sounding like a school girl with a crush, but I seriously can't get over how good it was. Mister Jim's is gonna take over my pizza nights from now on because I can't see myself spending money anywhere else!

Mister Jim's is always a treat. They keep the place clean, serve food quickly, have friendly staff, and make really tasty, simple dishes. Even when they're super busy, it's worth waiting because the food is always good. They use quality ingredients and take good care of customers. Definitely a top spot for a delicious meal!

When you go to other sub places and order a "large," it might fill you up for lunch. Here, the large truly is large and fills me up for both lunch and dinner. The quality of food is great and the people are friendly. I always order the Philly cheese steak but others in my family have had equally good experiences with other subs.

Mister Jim's is my favorite Sub Shop in the area. I've been a huge fan of this place since the early 80's! My favorite is the Mister Jim's Special with Hot and Sweet Peppers. I've tried them toasted but I much prefer mine un-toasted. I find that the bread roll is so much better when it's soft. Fortunately, they take call ahead orders because it can and often does get busy there. In fact, I've seen lines out the door, especially around lunchtime.

Mister Jim's is an original tenant of Wilson Village Shopping Center at the corner of South Battlefield Boulevard and Johnstown Road in Chesapeake. They have been a staple of the Great Bridge community since 1972. To stay in business for fifty years they have obviously been doing a lot of things right. They've managed to adapt with the changing times over the years and greatly expand their menu offerings from their original twelve items. They now offer everything from submarine sandwiches (including Philly-style), burgers, gyros and deli-style sandwiches, square pan pizzas, salads, boneless wings, appetizers and soft drinks to cookies and more. They offer indoor dining at comfortable booths and outdoor dining at tables under cover of a roof. There is no table service indoors or out. You place your order at the counter then pick it up at the same counter after they notify you via pager it's ready. At my last visit there were no paper menus available but there are large LCD menu screens overhead. Staff is always friendly and professional. On my last visit, they were very busy and it took about thirty minutes for my order to be completed. I didn't complain because I could see how busy they were and how hard everyone was working. As the young lady handed me my subs she apologized for the delay and offered me a free cookie. I really appreciated the gesture and my wife and I really enjoyed the cookie. I have patronized Mister Jim's many times over the years, mostly orders for delivery to my job but occasionally I'll swing by the restaurant and pick up something to take home. The food is always fresh and delicious. Some of my favorites are the Cajun Chicken Sub, Mister Jim's Special Sub, Tuna and Cheese Sub, Chesapeake Jubilee Sub, Sloppy Joe Sub and City Hall Burger. I also love the fresh cut fries and the onion rings. They have a nice variety of cookies, they are huge and really delicious. My favorite is the lemon blueberry cookie but I don't see it on the menu now so I don't know if they still offer it or not. Other cookies I love are the white chocolate macadamia nut and oatmeal raisin. Cookies are sold singly, in packs of three or by the dozen. They're all fresh and delicious. While writing this review I realized I have never tried the pizza at Mister Jim's. I'm not sure why I've never tried it but it is something I will definitely have to do soon.
