Jason’s Deli

Great salad bar and add 1 of 10 soup selections. Chili isnt very good but the chicken pot pie is. They also have some great sandwich selections. Oh yeh, dont forget the free soft serve ice cream, great touch.

My review includes a compliment, suggestion and concern.
Compliments to the sandwich tech and front cashier who took my order this morning at the West Ashley location in Charleston. Awesome service! Excellent wrap!
Suggestion: If a customer specifies they are VEGAN, staff should take care to make sure and educate us on menu items, and ensure there are no animal products in the item. Vegan means ZERO animal products. Clarification of their «Vegetarian Menu» under «Vegan All The Way» needs special attention since the items there may or may not be totally vegan. Ex: Are the wraps dairy and egg-​free? Why should a vegan choice require the customer to reiterate «no cheese»? That should be a given/​automatic.
My concern is that when I got my Vegetarian Wrap, there was in fact cheese in it. It’s a good thing I am not allergic. I ate it anyways as I was very hungry. I also got the fresh fruit (straberries and melon pieces), along with a cup of dairy yogurt dip. No thank you on the dairy… I specified VEGAN. This was handled super-​nicely by the sandwich tech by politely saying sorry and taking it away and asking if there was anything else I needed. Nice touch!
I offered these compliments, suggestions and concerns to the manager named Tanisha this morning (upon asking her who the manager was, she said they all were…) She said there was nothing they could do at store level and to contact corporate. I did just that tonight and emailed a copy/​paste of pretty much what I wrote here. I am curious to know what they will say.
The place was very clean, bright. Tables were not sticky or oily. Great layout and open. Comfortable seats. By peaking at the salad bar, it looked pretty darn awesome! I read the other reviews and I wish I would have seen the other vegan choices (soups etc). Maybe a bean burger would be cool too.
Parking could be an issue at peak times since the lot is shared with many other businesses in the strip mall.
This was my first visit to this Deli. It was super quiet at 10am.
*Update* I received a solid answer from Jason’s Deli corporate office (via their «contact us» link on their website), which included a thanks, an apology and an explanation of their menu. I also received a reply re my suggestion to add vegan cheese. The replies were fast, warm and gracious.

It was a rainy day and I only had time for a quick lunch break so I opted for the grilled cheese and tomato soup combo. I was very excited to see a new kiosk in the front, but it was only for soup and salad bar orders. They have been suffering to find a more efficient ordering process, so any improvements would be much appreciated. Maybe to also allow regular orders to be submitted and paid for through the kiosk would help (if possible). There are always plenty of employees, but they often don’t seem to recognize what needs to be done. There is also always a manager up front so the direction apparently needs to come from the top, or at least to be led by example.
I claimed my seat with my number proudly displayed on the table, fixed my drink, went to the restroom, and returned to my seat to await my anticipated easy lunch fare. Twenty minutes went by from when I ordered and still no meal. I made eye contact with the manager and staff on multiple occasions hoping that they would recognize that I was just waiting and waiting but to no avail. After all, my number is still sitting there too. Finally I went up to the three people standing around and asked them to check on my order. While I was up there, a couple others asked if I needed something. One actually offered for me to get some free ice cream while I waited. It is actually free all of the time but I appreciated the customer service recovery technique.
They were able to get me a meal, but it was only partially what I ordered. They double checked the number, but not the items against the listing. I got broccoli cheese soup (which I actually prefer) with my grilled cheese instead of the tomato soup with which it comes. They informed me that patrons can swap out the soups for any soup preference.
I must say that the woman in the lobby that cleans off the tables is always there. She speaks to the customers and asks if everything is alright. She is quick to get a to-​go container if necessary too. I will continue to be a customer here because the food is good and reliable, but I will also hold on to the hope that the improvements will continue.

Vegetarian dream! Vegan soups, sandwiches, and a salad bar that offers goodies like artichokes, quality olives, quinoa salad, whole beets, and nut/​berry mix. The spinach is crunchy and delicious. Mini gingerbread muffins remind me of home. The drink selection is also great. You may taste the soups before you buy. Tomato basil soup is vegetarian and chunky. The restaurant is clean, friendly staff, and noise level was low. Definitely going back

Second time here. This is a really good sandwich restaurant with a good salad bar. I had the California club with French onion soup. Everything was fresh on the bar and they have an icecream machine for desert. The fire roasted tortilla soup was also good. It doesn’t get much better for the money.

I ate at this location the other day. The staff was great. All very friendly and the location was clean from what I could see. My boyfriend ordered the salad bar and a cup of soup. I ordered a plain jane baked potato. I have had better plain Jane’s this one was good though. Usually this potato is big enough to eat the other half later. These things are usually big enough to be 2 meals at least at the other Jason’s locations I have been to. Either I was starving or it wasn’t that big or possibly delicious but I ate it all. My boyfriend really enjoyed his salad bar. He also scrapped the bowl clean of his soup. we ate some gruit from the bar which was fresh and tasty. We also had a delicious ice cream cone. I live soft serve in sugar cones so I always like this perk. You can eat as many as you want but we just had one. They have vanilla swirl and chocolate. It was proced well. i think the plain jane is 7.59 and the salad bar was 7.99. They had spinach and peas on it as well as other things so not just iceberg and ranch. I dont usually do buffet/​bar style food because paranoia about people sneezing in the food or somethin but if it is your thing go for it. It looked fresh and a worker was there almost constantly keeping it clean. Service was fast but we were there when it wasn’t busy. my vote try it.

Based out of Texas and spanning across 29 states, Jason’s Deli is popular among tens of thousands of people including my family and me. They offer a tremendous array of deli sandwiches that include more unique choices than I’ve found at similar restaurants. True to my hopes, it was a fantastic choice. Today I ordered the Caprese Panini (inspired by a Roman panini with thick slices of fresh mozzarella, Roma tomatoes, and pesto sauce). Typically I order a side of fruits instead of potato chips. Unlike some restaurants, here they allow me to choose what specific fruits I would like (just strawberries in my case which I find larger than the typical strawberry). They also provide a sweet yogurt style dipping sauce for the strawberries which is delicious. Here they also offer a pomegranate blueberry sports drink (with electrolytes and real cane sugar) among their fountain drink lineup which is really good. Everyone works very diligently and seems politely attentive. Their desserts are also terrific (such as the Cranberry Walnut Oatmeal Cookie). Complimentary all you can eat vanilla or chocolate ice cream comes with any meal purchase — a huge plus. Finally, at the end of your meal, it’s really nice that their staff clears your table for you.

The customer service here is beyond great!!! They fixed my order according to my dietary needs, and when they made a mistake they fixed it no questions asked! Every time I come here I am impressed by the friendly staff… The foods pretty good too.

Like most, I’m a little skeptical of shopping center restaurants. But, we actually have quite a few good ones in Charleston!
Jason’s Deli is one of those.
When you walk in, it’s nothing too special to look at. Definitely a casual lunch spot for great sandwiches, soup and salad. They have a variety of sandwiches, plus a create-​your-​own options, soups, salads, combos and kids meals. There are also a variety of desserts and FREE ice cream!
Unlike some of those other delis out there (you know which ones I’m talked about), Jason’s isn’t afraid to pack on the ingredients in your sandwich or wrap. Lots of meat and cheese for your money :)
Menu Highlights:
Club Royale
Cuban Press
Hot Pastrami
Did I mention the free ice cream?
Salad bar
They also do a great job at catering. My office orders some platters from them every now and again.
It also says leaps and bounds about the food that this lightly decorated, no frills deli has survived with the shiny new East Bay Deli location right across the street.

What can I say? I really like this place. I haven’t been in a while and things have changed. Most noticably was that there’s no longer a cashier but a self paying checkout counter in the middle of the isle.
The food here is a little pricey but then again I don’t mind it for food that I know is going to be good.
I like to try different things and this place has alot of choices.
My go to meal is either soup & salad or half-​sandwhich and half either one else. This time I got a soup and salad. I tried the beef stew which at first glance was not appetizing but once you get in there it was amazing. Tasty flavorful and reminded me of a home cooked stew. My only issue was that I didn’t taste any meat until the end which I didn’t realize there was a big piece of meat that i missed at the bottom of my cup. It was worth it once I got to it though. Let me tell you.
The salad was a help yourself kinda deal which I think I always put mor than I need to on the plate when I don’t have to since the plate is pretty large to start with.
There are lots to choose from so take your time an let the friendly staff help you make up your mind.
This place has lots of room for the crowds that they get so don’t worry you’ll get a seat.

Regardless of what city you are in Jason’s Deli is a staple for a family lunch or dinner, solo or for a quick work lunch. That scene is no different in this Charleston location that offers what downtown locations can’t: free, ample parking. This spot is a few miles outside of downtown allowing for a quick, easy, affordable lunch before being a tourist for the day. As always, the salad bar rocks, sandwiches are solid, soups are good and a potato is enough to feed a horse.

I was surprised to see Jason’s review higher than east bay across the street. First off, Jason’s is a chain so expect chain food. Standard soups, sandwiches and salads are offered and they are okay. I’m never going to crave a sandwich from Jason’s if ya get the idea. Moving on to service, they are very accommodating to large crowds. You order at the cash register and sit at your table with a number for your food. There is a salad bar and the best bonus is free ice cream which no one can deny free ice cream.
Overall if you have a large crowd looking for lunch, Jason’s is an okay option but there is a lot more better eats in charleston.

Wow! What a disaster. Me and 2 other co workers ordered the same thing, chicken club bacon salad with ranch, and we all got horrible food poisoning. One of my co workers called and complained, obviously, we were supposed to get free meals, ya know because we got sick, we decided to give them another shot, man was I disappointed. I ordered a salad again different one, mixed berry salad with RANCH, not only did I not get my ranch but I also didn’t receive any utensils. What was I supposed to eat with? My hands??? And no dressing? Really? You guys lost our business, not that we matter though.

No no no! Went here the other day and the only thing good was the salad bar. Oh and you get a free ice cream cone! I ordered the broccoli and cheddar soup and it took about 20 mins to come out. They said they had to heat it in the microwave! Really?! And the taste… Gross! It tasted liked pure butter and my boyfriend got the French dip and the dip sauce was basically liquid salt! Will not be going back!

I love that I can place my order online and it is a pretty easy process. They are quick and pretty cheap. Such a great variety of options. Soup is always a good choice (potato, broccoli cheese, french onion are favorites). They have salads (big salad bar), huge loaded potatoes, and so many sandwiches to choose from. I just got the Smoky Jack Panini (Smoked turkey breast, bacon, pepper jack, guacamole, Roma tomatoes, Thousand Island dressing) — SO good!

Local friends took us here — they have lived here forever and one is a policeman — they know the good spots! So good!
LOVED the salad bar — totally fresh, clean and lots of options: sunflower seeds to green olives, humus, quinoa salad (yum!). I had to ask for artichokes (stoked they were even an option!) and mushrooms to be replenished but it was busy so not a big deal — they brought them out quick.
Hubby got the Mufalata — some olive spread was AMAZING. BIG portion and he got the ½ size and even left ¼ of the portion on the plate.
Kids item $ 3.99 includes a drink. My kids ate the alfredo and chicken — but they were not super excited about it… they were more excited about mommy’s salad bar — my kids are awesome! I shared my beets and whole hard boiled eggs.
Free soft serve ice cream — tip — make a root beer float!

I have had a good visit for Lunch with 3 others I had the salad bar very good two others had sandwiches said was really good one had soup sais good going under times has been nice and clean restrooms clean too the workers very helpful and nice this was on a Saturday 1;37 pm

Just had lunch of half a Ruben sandwich and a side salad all for $ 10! Was welcomed right away and my order was taken quickly and accurately. Was really pleased, It had been a while since I had been there but I will be back.

SO, I have mixed feelings about Jason’s Deli. The food is awesome & free ice crean (YAY). However, when I get take-​out I usually end up with the wrong thing.
So, the food is delicious, just make sure you end up with what you actually wanted.
Also, avoid it on Sundays if you don’t like massive crowds of people!

While visiting my parents, we offer to take them out to eat, and they choose… Jason’s Deli. Really? Of all the places on the map, they want to go to eat at Jason’s? It’s not to say that there’s anything exactly wrong with the place, but come on. There are so many other choices unique to Charleston.
That out of the way, if you want a sandwich and/​or salad, it’s a good choice. But if you want a good meal, it’s not high on my list, and because of that, Jason’s suffers from comparison. The food is healthy, the staff is friendly, but it’s a chain deli. This isn’t a corner deli — it’s a model that they emulate in multiple locations. They do well enough, and it’s better than copies such as McAlister’s, but it’s not a real deli.
Healthier? No doubt. But not a real one.
