Jason’s Deli

Second time dining in. Good was very flavorful. Fresh salad bar items. Broad variety also. The overall appearance of the restaurant was a bit dirty-​floors, tables and booth bench. Staff very friendly and helpful. Did not use the restroom so I cannot comment on the Kindercare which is always an important feature when you have a two year old in potty training/​pull ups in tow. Best of all the health score was 97!

Figured id give it another shot ordered the french onion soup which was very bland not hot and the club royale which looked like it was basically smushed and then made into the shape of a ball.

This was my most disappointing visit to Jason’s deli ever. The salad bar lacked food. And the stocker seemed confused. Do you have cucumbers? Lettuce? Corn salsa? Cheese? Onions? Croutons? Anything? And if I ASKED they would bring it out. But if you did not…
It took almost 30 minutes just to make a Togo salad off a under stocked salad bar. Guess who won’t be burning gas driving from Ellenwood to get a salad from now on…

Jason’s Deli’s at this location is well maintained and offers HUGE portions of sandwiches. Other than the people at the cash register, the servers were very friendly and helpful.
My partner and I ordered two salad bars (I think it was about $ 7.95 each), and one order of a Reuben sandwich. The salad bar is quite small compared to places like Sweet Tomato, but the quality of each item was great. The quinoa salad was very addicting and tasted great with balsamic vinegar. Right behind the salad bar they offer FREE ice cream, which my five year old loved. The Reuben sandwich was a little tasteless, but the portion was huge so we were quite satisfied with it. Overall experience was great here. Worth a visit!

I like going to Jason’s deli when I don’t feel like driving far for lunch. I’ve never been been disappointed. The sandwiches are always good. My favorite to eat here would be the tomato soup and half turkey croissant sandwich. The salad bar is also always clean and consistently stocked with with fresh ingredients. The grilled chicken and grilled cheese sandwich are both super!

I’ve been to this Jason’s Deli several times and I’ve never had a major complaint. The service is usually fast and friendly. The food is both tasty and fresh, usually something that’s missing at chains.
As far as the food I usually stick to the California Club or Chicken Panini. Both sandwiches come with chips and a pickle and are rather affordable for the portion size. Whenever I visit, I’m more likely to get an order to go but I have opted for dining in. The employees make a great effort to keep the salad bar area neat and tidy. One suggestion I would make is to put that same effort into keeping the dining area clean. It sucks to have to walk aimlessly for a clean table during lunch. Oh and did I mention free ice cream!

I had experienced Jason’s catering for many years as a professor at GPC, but never visited the restaurant. I had that opportunity a few days ago, and was pleasantly surprised. It is much more than a deli. I think their salad bar is gloriously underrated — $ 9 gets you a lot of salad options, as well as ice cream, and a couple of baked treats too. The sandwiches are filling too, and clearly freshly made.
I do think the set up is confusing for those not used to it, and I didn’t feel like the folks there really explained to me how to get my plate for salad.

Always reliably great. Service is quick and friendly. Prices are reasonable.

Good food m, small portions. A bit of a rip off for the price. Slower service than you would expect. No complaints on taste. Great menu, too

I ate here recently for lunch and had a terrific Reuben. I found the place a little confusing at first since they don’t have detailed menus on the walls, but figured it out.

Clean, good food, friendly service. It’s pretty hard to beat Jason’s for a solid deli meal. Salad bar is well stocked and there’s just about any kind of sandwich one can imagine. And, don’t forget the free soft-​serve ice cream on your way out!

Good food. Good service. Good experience. My girlfriend and I got dinner here. We got here probably around 7 – 7:15ish on a Monday night. Place was about ¼ full. Mainly came here for the salad bar. not too many places have salad bars now. My girlfriend just ordered the $ 8 salad bar, and I got a $ 6 turkey wrap with with a side of fruit and $ 4 side salad. Everything was very good. She enjoyed the free ice cream. Their little muffins were good too. We will be back, maybe not this location just because we usually aren’t in this area, but we’ll definitely goto Jason’s deli again.

Holy moley! This place rocks. The soup is exquisite, the sandwiches are divine, and the salad bar is so full and has so many variations. They are always packed and the beverages are absolutely on point! And they have ice cream!
Ok, seriously, when you walk in, your first thought is «oh my, this is going to take forever. And where will i sit?» While these are valid concerns — they are so efficient and get you through to order so fast! Once you place your order and pay, you go to the end of the bar to pick up your soup (and/​or sandwich). That’s absolutely plenty of food, but if you love a good salad, the salad bar is where it’s at!
Iceberg, spring mix, spinach, olives, carrots, mushrooms, potato/​mustard/​chicken salad — all exquisitely delicious. Not to mention a plethora of muffins, croutons, crackers, dressings, and extras… quinoa salad is to die for.
I will definitely be returning, often!

Try this for yourself. Have been a customer here for years, and will return, BUT. .. As you might know, Jason’s raised prices a few months ago — still stayed a customer.
I have suspected a bit of deceptive portion control for some time, and decided to find out for sure today. A bowl of soup is $ 5, a cup considerably less. However, the bowls are very shallow, and I have suspected for some time that a bowl and cup hold the same amount. So, I asked for an empty soup cup and poured the contents of the bowl into the cup — filled the cup to within about ½ inch from the top. Each hold the same amount.
When I asked the manager, he indicated that the bowl should have been filled to the top inside rim. See photo — you can see where the soup was on the back side, where I poured it on the other. and see how much is in the cup. The bowl was filled per JD specs.
Corporate control portion size and price. I do not believe for a second that this slipped through the cracks — not in a corporation of this size. Clear deceptive practice.
The manager did refund the entire cost of the bowl of soup — thank you. But what about the MANY other I’ve ordered, and what about the thousands sold to everyone else? Like you, another unknowing consumer.
Good food. Good service. But considering the recent hike in prices, or ever regardless of that, does Jason’t Deli really need to be deceptive? Do they really need a few bucks that bad?

A great concept… executed horribly. That’s the theme at this location.
I try to wordsmith my reviews. In this case it really isn’t worth it. This place has been B-​A-​D the last 2 times I’ve gone here. It is an embarrassment to the Jason’s Deli franchise. I will just give you the laundry list from just this most recent (and final) visit:
1. My party of four showed up 20 minutes before lunch to beat the crowd, and did. There were only seven tables filled when we walked in. We placed our order. It was 35 minutes before we RECEIVED it at the table. (Two of us got food in 25 minutes, the other two got food 35 minutes after walking into a near-​empty DELI/​CAFETERIA STYLE restaurant).
2. The ‘signature’ cashew sandwich was horribly prepared. The meat was overcooked (and grisly). The toast was slightly burnt. The contents were just ‘thrown’ on the bread so that about 30% of the surface area between the two slices was empty air. A great concept… executed horribly.
3. The order came with an extra bowl of soup we didn’t order. I don’t count that as a «plus» because nobody wanted it. Someone else in the restaurant was probably missing it. This, in turn, leads to delays for everyone.
4. I went up front to ask for a to-​go box because, for some reason, they don’t leave them out where one can get them. The customer in front of me was asking the manager to put out plates at the salad bar because there were none left.
5. I went to get some ice cream at the end of this fiasco. Of course — there were no cones left in the dispenser. So once again, I have to walk over to the front to ask for some.
I’m pretty forgiving but after similar crappy food and service twice, I’m done with this location.

Great food but it takes forever for them to make a sandwich to go. These people move in slow motion… wow!

I’ve always been a fan of the Jason’s Deli chain — it’s an easy choice to make if you’re looking for a quick, healthy (ish) meal. The menu is a bit similar to Panera — Jason’s has a large focus on soups and sandwiches, though there’s a much larger selection of sandwiches to choose from (BYO, paninis, mufalettas, etc.); there’s also a fairly comprehensive salad bar, which seemed to be quite popular with customers.
We ordered the ‘Sante Fe Chicken sandwich’ and the ‘Rachero’ (with a side of the Chicken Pot Pie Soup) — both selections featured grilled chicken breast, which had I know initially I would’ve ordered something else, as I prefer variety, but I was pleasantly surprised by the difference in flavors and overall conception. Both options were tasty, but without a doubt the highlight of the meal was the ‘Chicken Pot Pie’ soup — which is essentially chicken soup with a biscuit, but still had all the components and flavors consistent with a traditional pot pie, and we both enjoyed it.
The very best thing about Jason’s however is FREE ICE CREAM. Yes, all day, every day — with your meal purchase. Just be careful with the dispenser at this location, it tends to get stuck mid-​dispensing, and then you’ll just end up with a hand full of excess ice cream, which is not as fun as it sounds.
It did take quite awhile for our food to come out — typically, it takes less than than ten minutes, which is why it’s a great place for a meal on the run — but it took almost 20 minutes this visit. so if you’re really on a time crunch, simply order to-​go!

This review was for 9÷9÷2012 — it looks like reviews are better, so i might have to give them a try again… however, here is what i wanted to post 2 years ago.
-=-=-=-=-=-
Tortilla, chili, and seafood gumbo were salty for my taste! Almost like licking a salt lick.
Mgmt was very nice replacing with a cute bowl of chicken pot pie soup. It was palatable. However the soup was lukewarm but cute doughy puff pastry on top.
The Reuben was nice thick meaty tasty with nice sauerkraut on rye. Get the bottled thousand island dressing on the side.
Service is ultra friendly. Place is clean. Open floor seating. Food is not consistent.
Molasses muffins ate small delicate bites.
Cornbread must have been sitting for a while. Cold and dry.

This would be my second or third time at a Jason’s Deli – my first time was back home in Vegas. I went here with my fiancé today which was his first experience.
I ordered a Papa Joes sandwich which was extremely flavorful and I totally recommend! He ordered a Reuben the Great sandwich which is just like any other Reuben sandwich but it had a rather large amount of sauerkraut in my opinion. It wasn’t bad or anything but just compared to my sandwich, the Papa Joes was better by a long shot! It may not have been as big but the flavor overruled everything else. For dessert, we got this strawberry whipped cream cake which was good but not mouth-​dropping-​foodgasam-​in-​my-​mouth good.
Overall, I’d come back again & you guys gotta try their Papa Joe sandwich if you haven’t already, I’m telling ya!

Jason’s Deli has a ton of room for seating, and is decorated casually. They have terrific sandwiches, and few desserts which I haven’t tried. They also have a moderate sized salad bar and free soft serve.
They automatically toast everything so be sure to tell them if you want your sandwich cold when you order. I have only gotten the salad bar for pasta salad, 3 times. Each time I hoped it would get better but it hasn’t. Doesn’t have enough flavor and has wayyyy too much salt in it. $ 5 is too expensive for it if you’re only getting one thing (not a salad) from it. Wish they had a smaller size plate for $ 2 – 3.
They put a huge amount of meat on the sandwiches which is how a sandwich should be, and have a ton of variety with breads. I like their focaccia better than the others. Definitely a great place to grab lunch or dinner, but the prices of things can add up quick!
