This place rules! So much bang for your buck! The salad bar is LOADED! One of the craziest salad bars I have ever seen, and it only cost $ 7.99 before tax. Awesome. Their kids meals are about $ 5 or less, and they are huge. Everyone gets free ice cream too. You can’t beat it. Staff at this location always extremely friendly. Go here!

Jason’s Deli is a decent deli-style restaurant. The place is always clean and the staff is always pleasant, friendly and efficient. The food is good but not outstanding. My wife and I usually order a sandwich or soup and salad. The salad bar has a nice variety of items but nothing that really stands out. It puzzles me that a place that calls itself a deli doesn’t have coleslaw on their salad bar. I love coleslaw and wish they offered it on the salad bar. I’ve tried all the soups and most of them are good but not exciting, my wife favors the chicken pot pie. Stay away from the French onion though because it’s probably the worst French onion soup I’ve ever had. It looks and tastes like they pour the soup out of a can, put a piece of cheese on top and stick it in the microwave. The plain Jane potato is a good value, pretty delicious and it’s huge. The pastas are all pretty ho hum, okay but nothing to write home about. I’ve tried a variety of sandwiches which are all good but ordinary, they tend to be a little on the dry side so I usually end up going to the salad bar to add some dressing or going to the counter to ask for mayonnaise. I have found one that I especially enjoy, the Papa Joe with turkey breast, asiago, tomato, mayo and basil pesto on toasted focaccia bread is outstanding. You can finish off your meal with the complementary soft serve ice cream(vanilla, chocolate or twist) in a cup or cone. It’s a nice touch. I like Jason’s Deli, it’s a decent restaurant that does a lot of things well but doesn’t really stand out ahead of the competition. I appreciate their fast and friendly service but they can get a little carried away in aggressively removing dishes from the tables. It’s a little annoying to often have your conversation interrupted by someone asking if you are done with this dish or that cup and gives the impression they are trying to hurry you up. This seems to occur on most visits, it’s not a major issue but just a little annoying. Overall, I can still recommend Jason’s if you’re in the mood for a salad bar and a sandwich. The place is always clean and there is always plenty of free parking.

Been eating here for years. Huge portions and sandwich’s, good deserts. Try the Plane Jane potato, it’s heart attack on a plate but oh so good. The New York Yankee is my favorite for pastrami. Service has always been good. Have never ever left not stuffed.

Jason’s has always been one of my favorite lunch spots. The salad bar is on point, usually full of fresh veggies and other high quality items. I always stick with just that. The soup is also good, I usually get the seafood gumbo, and although nowhere close to traditional, it’s pretty good.

I like the food and the concept of Jason’s but I do not like the overly efficient servers and how frequently they stop by to check on you to ask if everything is ok. It borders on creepy. Also the last two times I was there they cleared my table when I got up to get another napkin or ice cream. I was not done eating yet, still food on my plate. The server was apologetic. Be aware if you are by yourself. Are they compensated by how quickly they clear the dining room?

Jason, Jason, Jason… I’m only going to talk about one outstanding sweet dish today. After all these years, I finally tried the Strawberry Shortcake on my birthday. Getting it to go, you first think ok how good could this really be. A dish so simple, I can easily make it at home. Well, Jason’s Strawberry Shortcake was delightfully delicious!!! No box stuff, store bought pound cake or whip cream here! What a memorable birthday treat! I believe they even sell it in a Party-Size if you need it for a special occasion!

Blah, nothing exciting about a deli that doesn’t have the variety usually found in a true deli. I had the mufaletta and wasn’t impressed. Too noisy too. Would I return? Not likely

Ordered lunch for a group function at work, the food arrived quickly. I had the club on a croissant, the turkey was fresh, the bacon was crisp, it was very filling. I also had the black currant iced tea, it didn’t work for me it taste as though it were over brewed, also it was unsweetened and they didn’t send any sugar. Overall everyone enjoyed their food and I’d dine there again if I were in the area.

Came in here looking for a healthy bite of food because I was too lazy to go to the store and buy salad fixings myself. I don’t know if I just don’t like Jason’s Deli in general or what, but for the second time, I was really not impressed. The highlights were that it was very clean(contrary to others I’ve been to in the past) and service was friendly. They moved quickly despite the crazy amount of people in here(we came for lunch on Sunday), and seemed to keep things clean and stocked. The salad bar was well stocked too. The main problem for me is that you pay 8 $ per person, and you basically get the typical, average vegetables that you can find in any grocery section of a store. Carrots, cucumbers, broccoli… that’s nice, but I really was hoping to get more than just what I could easily eat at home(and it taste fresher, and be organic… etc.). Their potato and pasta salads were good, that was redeeming for me. And of course it’s great always getting free ice cream with your meal… I just wasn’t excited at all about the selection, especially after paying 17 $ for 2 people to eat the same veggies I see all the time. Not that this place is awful, but I’ll be looking for a better salad selection at other restaurants for next time.

We love this place! We stay at the Hyatt Place in the same parking lot when we travel through this area. Not sure who hires for this location, but they are a guru. Everyone who works there are friendly and constantly cleaning, heading into a place with a giant salad bar, that’s pretty important to us! We have been here about 10 times and every visit has been high quality, clean and efficient. The dining room offers different sized tables for all group sizes, booths and small tables for singles. We normally get the salad bar, but have had a few of the meals off the menu as well. When traveling, a good salad goes a long way with us! To be greeted upon arrival and to have a consistently clean dining room is what has us going back!

I absoultely adored my visit here. I was looking for something healthy to eat, tried to do some research on Unilocal,and suddenly found myself in this place… And it did not disappoint at all! I ordered the endless salad bar for around eight dollars, and a little cup of broccoli and cheese soup for three dollars. You get free ice cream with every meal that you get and the salad bar has a lot of bonus treats that come with it like muffins and garlic toast. I recommend this place to anyone who likes to eat healthy and also would like to enjoy gourmet sandwiches like Reubens and what not.

This location is staffed with friendly, helpful people. I ordered a bowl of chicken pot pie soup(because rainy days make for good soup weather) and my honey ordered the Beefeater(essentially, a French dip sandwich). Both entrees were good; however, I think I liked the sandwich better. I also love the fact that you can get free ice cream with your meal. My only complaint is the lack of toppings. The only topping they had was chocolate syrup. Other than that, I had a great lunch date with my fiancé at Jason’s Deli today! We will definitely come back here for lunch!

We first discovered Jason’s while living in Louisiana many years ago. I fell in love with their amazing chicken chili and rarely ordered anything else. Sadly, we left Louisiana for Italy and then NC and never to see Jason’s again. Til we got back to HR. I was so excited! We try not to frequent so many chain restaurants preferring to give our money to local joints but favorites require visits. Most of my Jason’s comes via delivery and while they are fast and my food is always hot I do not enjoy forking over 7 bucks for delivery. This is my one hate. My husband loves their muffulettas and I’m nutso for their Club royale. So much meat and a delicious croissant with a tasty honey mustard. I love their chicken salad too. Oh, forego the chips and get the pasta salad. Another delectable delight! They have some new menu items I need to try but I’m not going anywhere!

I came here with my cousin for lunch after shopping, I never been to this Jason’s Deli before. This place gets packed during lunch time. It was also Good Friday so we couldn’t eat meat. I had ordered a Quinoa Shrimp and Mango Salad which consisted of arugula salad and then a portion of shrimp mixed with quinoa and diced mangoes. It wasnt too bad, I liked it, especially the mangoes. I had also ordered Tomato basil soup which was veryyy goood! My cousin had ordered a caprese panini which consisted of mozzarella, tomato, and basil sandwiched in between 2 panini slices and was grilled. It had also came with a side of chips of your choice. They also offer a complimentary cornbread and gingerbread, while you wait for your food to come out. At the end of your meal they also offer free ice cream, they have an ice cream machine behind the salad bar and you either put it on a little bowl or either eat it in one of those ice cream cones. You can add chocolate syrup or some nuts on top if you’d like. The lady at the register who rung me up, let’s see a smile, don’t look like you are not enjoying work, atleast fake it, it was unpleasant to see. But there was this one fellow, he was a bus boy he was very kind and was always there to help with any questions, now thats a reason why I wouldn’t mind coming back, bc of generosity and great customer service. *My 1st impression is my last impression.

I’ve had only one experience in the deli, but the company I work for uses Jason’s Deli for catering client lunches. My first visit to the deli was just after they opened and I was not impressed. I haven’t been back. However, this last catered lunch at work was so sad I was prompted to write this review. I have never seen wraps so small. There was barely any meat in them — no lettuce, no tomato, no mayo — just a small amount of meat and cheese. The other sandwiches were all bread. Huge, dry buns again with very little meat and cheese especially considering the size of the bun. Thankfully packets of mayo and mustard were offered. The side salad was fresh, but consisted of only a bowl of romaine and tomatoes with two dressings. It would have been nice to have a few more vegetables in the bowl, perhaps cucumbers and peppers? Also some variety in chip selection would have been appreciated, but there were only plain. Sadly, the standout of the lunch was the dessert. My chocolate chip cookie was chewy and delicious. However, a cookie does not a lunch make! If I had my choice on caterers, I would not use Jason’s Deli.

I had heard many good things about this place from the gals who cut my hair and do my nails at Natural Elements so when I spent the entire day on Saturday I figured I’d finally give it a try. I got the mediterranean wrap which had hummus, some greens, turkey, cucumbers and tomato. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t amazing. I got plain steamed veggies and they were what they were. Healthy but I was happy to see some healthy options on the menu so kudus to Jason’s for being mindful of that. They had quite a few healthy veggie options on the menu(about a good 4 – 5 which is more than most places have). I wasn’t overly impressed and I probably won’t be back. There was a salad bar in the back with fountain drinks and a soft serve machine. If you order a sandwich they will bring it to you when it’s ready by the number you are given to put on your table. Service was fast and the gal behind the counter was friendly. Maybe on a cheat day if I really did it up right I’d feel differently.

Ordered takeout for the family and if was the best we’ve had since being in the area. French onion soup — flavorful Chicken chili — not bad New Yorker — meaty and not a ton of fat, needed a little sauce(I chose thousands island on the side) Cuban panini — couldn’t tell you, my daughter ate the whole thing(I assume it was good) Beef dip — looked great Definitely a great value proposition and quick bite to eat. Now that it seems to be getting cold, the soups will be a much needed bonus.

Excellent Lunch today. Four of us walked over from work and we arrived on after the lunch rush. The place was still about 75% full and was emptying out. I had a bowl of French Onion Soup & the Club Royale, which last time I visited was a actual club sandwich, now it’s served on a Toasted croissant roll which was pretty good. There were a couple of Reuben’s at the table and a California Club to round it out. The manager delivered our lunches to us and we all shot the breeze for a few moments while he let us know there was free ice cream. I dunno if that’s always the case or was just today, but we took advantage of it before we left. It’s a good place for lunch, the food is delicious and the service was fast. I think I’ll try the breakfast one morning soon.
