Jason’s Deli

Pastrami on Rhy bread. And a blueberry pomegranate soda! Defiantly coming back to try more!

I ordered the chicken chilli soup, which was amazing. I also had vegetables which were really cripy. Delivery was pretty quick about 30 mins. I will definitely be trying out more thing’s

Considering the area within which it’s located, this is a damned fine deli. It’s no Katz’s mind you, but for the Midwest, it’s damned fine!
The staff members are cordial and quick with a smile, and the food is legit.
I love the Pastrami on rye with yellow mustard. And although the rye is a little less robust, in terms of flavor and texture, than I prefer, the pastrami is top shelf in my book (I’ve been a connoisseur since the third grade).
The French onion soup is also very good, with a well timed whirl under the broiler, adequate onions, and a rich flavorful broth. The requisite cheese and croûton are present and tasty as well.
And of course the free soft serve ice cream and pickles are hard to best. As for the ambiance, it’s on par with a Panera or Potbelly.

What can you say — it’s just a great casual deli with lots of good sandwiches, a salad bar, and best of all — a self-​serve DQ style ice cream cone.
We have had a variety of sandwiches, and they are usually large — with enough for leftovers.
You order, and get a plastic number, go and sit down, and they find you and bring your order.

Great food, quality everything and manager is very helpful and generally glad we’re here. Enjoyed it all.

Its a clean eater and can really load up at the super large salad bar! Full of fresh ingredients! The salad bar is probably what sets Jason’s Deli apart from most… it filled w/​various types of lettuce, veggie toppings, potato, egg, tuna, pasta, mix of salad, nuts and different types of berries!
The half/​half deal is great! The special side salad w/​half sandwich is around $ 9.00
Did I mention you get UNLIMITED FREE ICE CREAM!!! (I have to admit probably the only reason why we come here lol)

Great service! I cannot say enough about it! Top that off with s salad bar, FREE ice cream and good food and you’ve got a winning combination highly recommend this chain!

First time customer at a Jason’s deli as they don’t have them in my city. Here on a business trip and wanted a fast casual place to eat that wasn’t fast food.
Wow — simply amazing place. The food quality is better than Panera at a lower price. For $ 10 I had unlimited salad bar and a huge bowl of the most amazing Chicken pot pie soup.
The salad bar bowl is so big I only needed one trip. The soup was awesome.
I hope they come to my area.

Cool place for lunch. Lots of choices plus a salad bar, daily soups, FREE ice cream for every guest, and lite apps (nuts, olives, picked peppers). Come early to beat the lunch rush and find ample seating in the dining room.

Really good strawberry cake! They have a very good salad bar and good sandwiches. The place is clean and simple. The employees are friendly and very nice.

I eat «clean» but my lover boy husband does not. And my kids… they try to eat as «dirty» as humanly possible. A clean eater trying to eat with a bunch of dirties often struggles to find a place where everyone can happily eat!
At Jason’s Deli, the clean eater can load up at the large salad bar to her heart’s content. –Full of fresh ingredients. None of that wilted lettuce or those weird unidentifiable concoctions here. The semi-​clean-​eater-​lover boy can load up on salad with a sandwich on the side. And the «dirty» ones can satisfy their «clean» mama by loading up on salad with their soups while feeling dirty enough from eating the self-​serve ice cream.
They have a substantial menu of hot or cold sandwiches and a daily array of soups as well as the salad bar. It brings in quite a crowd for lunch but dinner is not as bad. Despite the crowd, they are quick to clear tables and I never find myself endlessly circling for a place to park my tray. But speaking of parking… that particular lot is home to several restaurants and is nearly always full –endlessly circling for a space there is common practice. Allow yourself extra time for that.
Jason’s –whether you like it «clean» or whether you like it «dirty», they have you covered.

Menu is huge, but I’ll keep it simple — order from the Famous Favorites section.
Personal favorite: The New York Yankee. An absolute monstrosity of a sandwich (yes, it tastes good).
I am not a big salad eater, but I do feel the need to mention the salad bar is massive.
Oh and by the way, they serve free ice cream.

No doubt about it, Jason’s Deli has the best half and half deal when it comes to express lunch & dinner. I always get the Manager’s special side salad with ½ sandwich for shy of $ 9. The soup and sandwich combo is a dollar less (but you can get a soup and sandwich anywhere). If you want to get the soup though, try the french onion– I think it is better and less saltier than the one from Panera. The tomato soup is too chunky for my liking though.
What sets Jason’s Deli apart is the salad bar. The salad bar is AMAZING and filled with various types of lettuce, lots of veggie toppings, potato/​egg/​tuna/​pasta salad mixes, nuts and berries, etc. The side salad is big enough to eat as a meal on its own and I always take my ½ sandwich to go for lunch the next day! I wish more places had a reasonably priced salad bar… OH! They also have these adorable mini corn bread and pumpernickel (??) breads.
I’ve been here once for lunch (and my last time ever) for a salad to go, and it was terribly busy, and nothing was getting stocked. I felt REALLY bad for the workers since you can tell customers were getting ticked.
I’ll stick to Jason’s for dinner when I have time to sit down and relax, and of course enjoy a free ice cream cone :)

I’ve been to this location a couple of times for take-​out before my evening class. Their menu is huge! So big that they only have paper menus, no full menu board. Good food. $ 12 for a full-​size muffaletta? Almost enough for 2 meals for 2 people. Can’t beat it! Once you order, wait times can be a little slow. No complaints otherwise.

I am so impressed with Jason’s Deli. I would be more of a frequent visitor if one was closer. I was in Naperville last night at a Chicago Craft Beer Event. I signed up for the app, placed an order and paid with a promised time of 30 minutes later. The food is fresh and fabulous and there is lots of it. There was a bit of confusion when i arrived as to if i had paid or not. I had bc i put my digits in. They also forgot the chips for my guacamole. Since they were in the same parking lot, i went back. I love the potatoes there but everything is good.

«At Jason’s Deli we’re all about healthy foods»
OK, I don’t get it!
I find that statement contradictive in reference to a «Deli». A true deli offers countless guilty pleasures that are irresistible like hand carved slabs of steaming meat served with fresh rye bread and copious amounts of butter. You know this going in and are willing to accept the cholesterol consequences.
Jason’s Deli offers fruit cups, endless organic salad, vegetarian delights, gluten sensitivity (no guarantee), meatless eats & a menu disclaimer a mile long just in case…
However, can you deliver an authentic Reuben Sandwich?
Nope. The Rueben sandwich I received was an imposter. The taste test failed & lacked moisture on every level… it was dry. The pickle is pre-packaged…YIKES! This was absolutely the opposite of «Good»! You fill in the appropriate 3 letter word.
I say, just change the name of this place to «Jason’s Fruit Cup»! and be done with it.

The muffaletta was first rate, and the bread they used was excellent. The seafood gumbo, however, was fishy and not in a good way.
Décor is deli casual. The people working there seemed indifferent or even sullen. I went to order and the guy behind the cash register stood there silently until I asked for a menu. Then he again stood there staring at me while I struggled to open the menu since it seemed to be stuck together.
So if you want decent sandwiches served by rather unhelpful staff who apparently wish they were elsewhere, this is your place.

When a place is right across the street from my work and its good food, you best believe this lady is coming here almost 90% of the time when I go out for lunch.
It can get VERY busy here, so if you can muster a lunch time around 11 or possibly later around 1:30, be prepared to be gone for at least an hour. Or, if its nice outside, get your order to go (it is a separate line/​entrance) and eat outside. We have done this plenty of times and we only took half hour for lunch.
Food is always good and you HAVE to love free ice cream! Also, when you do not purchase the salad bar, you are at least able to access part of the salad bar. I believe its from the tiny muffins and on, so you can enjoy crackers, peppers, etc. Anything to spruce up your soup, salad, or sandwich.

Jason’s Deli is absurdly close to my work, in that Bermuda Triangle of relatively new, almost all delightful restaurants on Freedom Drive. I like it because the proximity to work makes it entirely possible to eat in and get back in an hour, and the menu offers something for damn near everyone.
Dependent on if dieting is a thing this week or not is what I order. For instance, if I’m feeling gluttonous, the clear choice are their baked potatoes. I know, baked potatoes don’t sound particularly indulgent, but Jason’s potatoes are different. First of all, they’re the size of your head. I honestly don’t even get where they find potatoes this size. They actually offer a smaller version in case you don’t appreciate an entire dinner plate full of potato (in which case WHAT is wrong with you and get out of my life). But THEN they take this roided out tater and slather it with butter. Like a stick of butter. THEN, dependent on what type of potato you get is what else gets piled on. I’m a plain Jane type of girl — they smother this badboy with a mountain of cheese, bacon, green onions (I hate onion but I’ll let it slide on this), and sour cream. It is SO GOOD. They also offer ones with chicken, salsa, broccoli, etc. AMAZING.
The hubs is one of those skinny-​no-​matter-​what-​he-​eats dudes, so he’ll often go for a potato + a creamy soup or half a sandwich. He also loves their muffulettas, which are on some kind of fancy bread and piled with fresh meats/​cheeses.
Most of the time, especially when I’m there on a lunch hour, a heavy dish is not in the cards, which is why I love that they have THEEEEE best salad bar EVER. Now hold up, I know what you’re thinking — a Golden Corral-​y mess of snot, sneezes, evil children and half chewed spinach?! You’re nast, Ames! BUT ITS NOT. THIS salad bar is immaculate! Clean! Fresh! Well stocked! Has an intense glass sneeze/​child/​life guard! And I’ve never once seen a child near it (all due respect to children, I just… no). They have the best selection of stuff you don’t typically see, like beets, artichoke hearts, a Greek feta cheese blend, different types of croutons, etc. You can go back as many times as you want and it’s delicious every single time.
Also, they have free ice cream. FREE. Delicious. Soft serve. Also set up such that kids can’t goober all over it. Win-​win!
All in all, an awesome place to stop for lunch or a light dinner with a huge menu, an awesome salad bar, and impeccably clean, bright, inviting atmosphere. And Mega Potatoes. What’s not to love?

I’ll admit, I only come here for the Muffalettas. I’ve never had anything else. I know they have a diverse menu but until I can get back to N’awlins, Jason’s will satisfy my muffaletta craving.
I don’t come here often, as lunchtime rushes are abysmal. The parking lot is always full, and it’s a fight-​to-​the-​death faceoff between two cars trying to snag a parking spot. I used to place my order ahead of time and pick it up fairly easily. However, my new gig does not allow us to use the internet for personal use, or our cell phones while at our desks. So if I want to place an order I have to hike a mile out past our parking lot in order to get service (thanks, Sprint). I didn’t have time for that on Thursday.
My latest trip here wasn’t bad. Of course, it was the day after Christmas, so obviously people were bum-​rushing the stores to return their gifts and not be bothered with a lunch beyond the drive-​thru. So, it worked out perfectly.
My muffaletta was perfect, as always. I always get the «half muff» so I can eat the other part later. I think I’ve ordered a full one once, and I don’t recall finishing it. I do remember it’s just as big as the original found on Decatur Street in New Orleans.
I’d love to try other menu items, but I cannot stray from the muffaletta. I wish, I wish could! Their prices may seem a bit high, but I feel for the quality of food you get, it’s well worth it.
