Jason’s Deli

I ordered the classic deli sandwich, and their speciality, a corned beef and pastrami on rye. It was dry and tough. Maybe the worst I’ve ever had!
Go elcewere!

They have something for everyone but most importantly, they have an awesome salad bar that includes yummy, healthy things like quinoa. It is so often that restaurants give short shrift to their salad bar and healthy options. Not so with Jason’s.

Very disappointing. Will not return to this location.
Every table not occupied was cleared but not cleaned. Every table was dirty and staff was standing around talking to each other at the register. The ice cream
Machine was overflowing and not one staff member, including the manager was trying to fix it. Salad bar also needed attending.

The Beefeater has won a place in my carnivorous heart! I don’t know why I have never been to Jason’s before but it certainly won’t be my last. Since I was in Orlando for work, which is rare, I decided to have lunch at Jason’s. The place was packed for lunch but the line moved quickly. I must admit that the menu is a bit overwhelming with so many options but I chose the Beefeater and it was a wise choice.
The Beefeater consists of hot roast beef, provolone cheese, mayo and its served on a freshly baked New Orleans French bread. It also comes with a delicious cup of au jus for dipping. I devoured that sandwich and I was instantly hooked. The only reason I am deducting a star is because of the plastic cups they use for the fountain drinks. When I took a sip of my soda, the cup itself had a very strong smell of plastic and I thought to myself that perhaps they were brand new. I got another cup but I got the same smell so I asked one of the servers but he was just as baffled as I was.
This particular location is very spacious and they do offer seating inside as well as some tables outside. The bathroom was clean but I found it a tad small, one toilet and one urinal. Parking is very limited in front so you may have to find parking in the garage which is free. Jason’s Deli is located in the SoDo shopping plaza on Orange Ave near ORMC and Downtown Orlando.

Got a free lunch today at Jason’s Deli for a salad that took «too long to make.» I didn’t even make a stink or ask for it, they just comped it themselves. Surprised, I ran out with the food like Smeagol finding his precious.
That’s good customer service, folks.
And the food was delicious. I got the Chicken club salad. I appreciate how they have their menu listed with gluten sensitive indicators. It’s the main reason why I go
5 stars for a satisfied, and full, repeat customer.

great selection. Sandwiches and the salad bar make a good combo.

The food here is delish. I get the managers special for lunch all the time — soup and a half sandwich. Fresh salad bar is great. The staff is always kind and courteous. Plus they deliver!

I’ve wanted another Reuben sandwich ever since I had the one at First Watch just a few days ago. Yesterday I was able to satisfy my craving once again. Jason’s Deli doesn’t make it easy to order your food though, I’ve been to this location a few times and always get confused where to order and how to get there. There is a kiosk located right next to the salad bar, but then there is a cashier taking your order. Which one do I go to? What’s that kiosk for? These were questions circling around in my head as I bravely made my way up to the cashier. Thankfully I was able to place my order with him.
A little over $ 10 for the full sandwich without a drink (I ordered water) and I was on my way to the table with my number in hand, thinking to myself, this had better be a massive sandwich. A few minutes later my fear subsided as I was brought a decent sized sandwich for the price I paid. It wouldn’t hurt them to offer another small side like potato salad, coleslaw, or a even cup of soup (in addition to the chips) for that price, at least with the full-​size. Unlike the First Watch Reuben, this one wasn’t pressed, nor did it hold together as well as a result. As messy as it was to eat, the flavor was pretty good. It was lacking that feel-​goodness you get from it all staying together as you eat it, but nothing so bad I wouldn’t order it again.
At this point, I was full but still felt bad thinking I just spent $ 10 for a sandwich and chips. Then I remembered… FREE ICE CREAM!!! I figured between the $ 8 that First Watch charges without ice cream, and the $ 10 that Jason’s Deli charges with it, I could definitely eat $ 2 worth of ice cream to make up that difference. Heck, I don’t know anywhere that sells ice cream cones for less than $ 2, so there is definitely value added there. After the confusion upon entering, and the slightly high price, it was the free ice cream that warranted the fourth star. If I couldn’t have dairy though, it’d be tough to justify.

This is one of my favorite fast-​casual restaurants in the Orlando area. Conveniently located by my gym (24-​Hour Fitness), this is an excellent spot for post-​workout healthy eats.
I’m a sucker for their salad bar, which is brimming with fresh, colorful vegetables… including some organic options. And there are pre-​made salads within the bar, like the edamame salad and corn relish. I typically order the salad bar to go. They give very large to-​go containers, so I always find that I have a bit left over for a midnight snack or a second meal. It’s really a great deal, considering I could never make a salad at home with that many fresh ingredients (without having some ingredients go bad).
When you get the salad bar (and maybe other meals), you can add on a cup of soup for 99 cents. And their soups are delicious! The vegetable vegetarian soup is pureed… much more enticing and delicious than other vegetable soups. I’ve tried most of their soups and have loved them all.
The people who work here are very courteous and friendly. And the dining area is spacious and very clean.
Great option for those seeking a quick, casual meal.

I was so excited to find this location, as I use to eat Jason’s Deli about once a week back home. Sadly, the memories were a lot better than the reality I found at this location. Sure, the salad bar was your standard Jason’s no-​frills salad bar that sticks to the basis. It has a few items that hands down beat the competition flavor wise, but the selection is paltry by comparison.
The thing that disturbed me about this location was when I ordered their special soup wwas told they were out and had to make more and then watched the line cooks pull out a freezer bag to throw in the microwave. Heartbroken wouldn’t begin to describe it as for some reason I thought they made their soups fresh. Upon watching however, I was not surprised, any food that came out hot came straight out the microwave. Given their prices, that’s just not good business.
I will say, the location is convenient, located in the swanky SODO plaza. The shopping center is clean, modern and well lit. That’s really all that can be said as it really doesn’t have any distinct charachter or unique wow factors…

Want a salad… want a great sandwich… this is the best place… I always get the manager’s special with the sandwich and salad… I must admit my favorite is the salad bar… it has everything I like. egg, different cheeses, artichoke, olives, bacon, and much more. I dont necessarily like the potato salad. The prices are great… managers special around $ 7…

Was impressed. Definitely better than sweet tomatoes. Salad bar always fresh and full. Like that you can order more protein for the salad bar. Large menu for those not interested in the salad bar. Clean environment and friendly staff.

While in Orlando for a training we all ordered food from this establishment for delivery. I chose the Nutty Mixed Up Salad. I’ll never order from here again.
I had quite a few issues with the salad right off the bat.
1. The amount of feta cheese was ridiculous! Whoever made this salad went crazy with the feta cheese. I easily dumped about ½ cup of cheese from the salad and had more on the salad.
2. The apple on the salad was not cube or cut into bite-​sized pieces. Instead it was an apple that was sliced into quarters and put into the salad. Why would anyone put apple pieces that large into a salad?
3. The greens were wilted. Most of the lettuce was fine but there was a lot of lettuce that had turned and was going bad.
4. There was a few pieces of grape stem in the salad. Not one piece but three different pieces of grape stem.
In addition to the above issues, the flavor of the salad was meh.

I’ve only recently started eating here for lunch this year and am pretty satisfied. It also could be because I get the same thing every time, but it still tastes as good as the last! (I get the light portion of the nutty salad w/​avocado, no cheese, and dressing on the side)
I’d say I come once every couple of months and the service is usually pretty good. Staff is always nice, friendly, and helpful. I don’t get the free ice cream at the end, but it’s sort of their staple!
Timewise — it comes out fairly quick, except my friend’s meal the last time I went took a little longer than anticipated.
Good spot if you’re a 9-to-5’er trying to snag a fairly quick, but good meal during your break!

Love the food at Jason’s! It’s my typical go to spot for any deli type cravings. With a salad bar, vast array of sandwiches and soups, and how can anyone forget the free icecream?! It’s such a great spot to wind down and enjoy lunch or dinner. The «SODO» location is typially packed with patrons during the lunch time hour so try and get there a little earlier to get prime seating.
The Californa Club is amazing!!! Love the freshness of all the ingredients! I would highly recommend this to everyone. The chicken pot pie «soup» is actually very tasty too so give that a shot while you’re at it! They do offer a soup/​sandwich combo so that’s probably the best deal for this place.
Parking is always an issue here given this is in SODO. Again you may be better off parking in the free parking garage or just keep circling around till you find a spot on the main road.
Other than that the facilities are always clean and the food is always tasty. What more could you ask for from a deli?

My favorite place to eat lunch. Food is always fresh and tasty. Oh yeah-​the free ice cream is an incentive.
My favorite is the Manager’s special– ½ Reuben on Rye and French Onion Soup. Although the Sante Fe Chicken sandwich is great too. Also the Chicken Salad Wrap. Also the BLT. The salad bar is delicious! Hmmm … I am making myself hungry!
Just go there and eat! You will know what I mean!

I’ve always been a fan of Jason’s Deli. We were on this side of town and looking to pick up some quick lunch for my coworkers and I. They’d never been to a Jason’s.
My boss was craving a salad and did the salad bar which was extensive and well stocked and added a side of grilled chicken for 1.79 that was a good sized bowl.
My coworker got a corned beef sandwich that was massive and looked really good.
I had a pressed chicken panini that was simple but tasty and switched to the baked chips (got to maintain that girlish figure, lol). I love that this location is calorie conscious and offers both tasty and low cal options.
Another Jason’s staple is the free ice cream. Which, I’ll admit I usually have in the form of a coke float. It’s just really tasty that way.
But more important than any of that, the staff here is EXCEPTIONAL. The girl bringing out food was more energetic and outgoing than servers at most restaurants and obviously wasn’t just sucking up for a tip. The busser was attentive and friendly, asking for our plates without overly disrupting our conversation. The other busser attending to the outdoor tables said hello to me as I was waiting for the rest of the party and admittedly complimented my dress. There’s a reason this place is packed at lunch time. The food is what I expect from a Jason’s but their staff make this location amazing.

Tremendous salad bar with some organic offerings. Love the organic crackers and the soup.
Consistent and reliable.

Great selection of soups, salads and sandwiches. I just discovered their seafood gumbo, which is crazy spicy and VERY good. Prices are great, nice variety at the salad bar, free ice cream, and its clean.
Good place to study as they don’t have a wait staff so no one is waiting on your table. A little on the loud side so I tend to sit in the back corners.
No wi-​fi

Muy bueno! I can’t believe I don’t come here more often.
As a salad devourer, I’m surprised that I don’t come here more often. First of all, I love salad, especially places where I can make my own salad, and I love chili so it’s definitely a win-​win situation.
PROS:
+ delicious food
+ healthy options
+ full-​salad bar
+ free yogurt
+ good tea
+ take out
CONS:
+ gets packed on the weekends during lunch time — can be hard to find a seat
Yummy, this place is great!
