Jason’s Deli

I love the food here! Love it. I think I prefer the ambiance of this one more than Broadway, just has a nicer diner feel. I come and get a soup and all you can eat salad– there’s an organic vegetable soup currently that is sooooooo good. I could just eat this soup over and over. But with the salad, I go hog wild. I pile it up with beets, broccoli, and all the goodies. This is not a meat friendly place in terms of salad, other than some bacon bits. Finish it with some tasty corn bread and chocolate bread rolls (they’re so tiny! You want to just devour them all!) and some banana pudding if you are lucky. And of course, all you can drink soda and ice cream bar. Yum! Such a deal. Great for the family, and less carby than going to Sweet Tomatoes. Come here if you love salads for sure. I hear the sandwiches are good too.

I got the chicken pot pie and it was good just wish it was hotter. My sister got the salad buffet and the salad is was NOT fresh. Mostly everything needed to be replaced either because it was not fresh or because it was running low, like the cornbread. The staff was just standing there chit chatting instead of keeping the buffet fresh. I will probably go to a different Jason’s if possible.

No one makes a salmon-​which like they do!
I love this place– healthy options, yummy food and friendly service. I really can’t ask for more. I’ve tried a few different things here but my favorite is the salmon sandwich. If you are on the fence about fish but know you need those omega 3s– try it!!! Omg I’m hungry now… Happy eating!

Food is just OK. all Jason’s are a «gun free zone».

I have a love/​hate relationship with Jason’s Deli.
I love that they have a menu with such variety — baked potatoes! Muffalettas! Paninis! Sandwiches crammed with meat (I’m looking at you, New York Yankee)! Salads!
But I hate that they fall short in places. Some sandwiches are so hastily constructed that it’s a fool’s errand to even try to pick it up, as even the toothpicks shoved into the sandwiches are supposed to hold it together. The «giant» baked potatoes are on occasion undercooked or the toppings are thrown on haphazardly. This is especially evident when they’re busy.
And the salads — more specifically, the salad bar — I often find myself playing a game of «how fresh is_​_​_​_​_​?» with the various vegetables and salads on the salad bar. I’ve seen yellow peppers that were slowly gaining a greenish cast, cherry tomatoes that were taking on a raisin-​like consistency and sliced mushrooms looking downright mushy. That’s not to say that it’s all bad, but when you expect to have a bit of everything and after a review of the salad bar you have lettuce, croutons and maybe a dash of sunflower seeds with your dressing… it’s notable. One can only hope that they will work on this. (I did make mention of it to the young woman replenishing various containers from underneath the salad bar, but her blank expression didn’t give me much hope.)
Is Jason’s Deli worth it? I think it depends on what you get and how busy it is. I do think they’re capable of doing better. Question is, does management there care to try?

You can eat at any of hundreds of sandwich shops in the Tucson area, but only at this Jason’s Deli are you going to get astonishingly fresh & delicious food for a very reasonable price (just about guaranteed to be less money than anywhere else) and have a chance to support AWESOME, hardworking local all-​around-​NICE people at the same time. Don’t misunderstand me — there are loads of nice people at many other places, but it seems like the management at this particular Jason’s is doing something special to ensure that they have a steady supply of great, customer-​oriented employees every time we visit. Are you sometimes going to find a little sticky spot on your table? Maybe. Is there going to be a long line during the lunch hour? Likely. And is someone eventually going to make a stupid mistake? Well, they’re only human. What I’m saying is that it seems like those are risks you are going to face almost anywhere these days, but that the plusses at this place consistently outweigh the minor minuses AND you will probably notice, as I have, that the secret ingredient at Jason’s is their people, who will always do their best to make you happy. And, may I also suggest that if you have seen negative reviews for this place, consider swinging in when it’s quiet, maybe mid-​afternoon on a weekday (if you’re fortunate enough to have that luxury) or maybe on your way home from work to get some take-​out. I think you might find that the reality is better than the complaint. I agree that they are not perfect, but we’ve eaten here a couple of dozen times and have many, many more positive memories than not. And check out their strawberry shortcake!

Food is amazing! Ever fails and whatever u request they can add. Had the chicken club salad with extra cheese and added olives… So tasty!
Only flaw is that for delieveries they do take an 1+. They tell you 30 mins but ends up being an hour or longer.

We use Jason’s Deli occiasionally for our catering needs at work and they are Amazing! Not only is the food really good and well presented… we usually speak with Craig M. (the Sales Manager) and he is beyond amazing! He is so nice and professional and makes sure we are always well taken care of!

The food here is good, but not great. The Pork VeraCruz sandwich I had today was good, but small for the price. It’s made with processed meat, not fresh, and for $ 8 it was not worth the money. I left hungry still, since I don’t eat the chips they serve it with. See the pic and judge for yourself.

I chose the «build your own sandwich» option: toasted herb focaccia, smoked turkey, provolone & chipotle aioli. This loaded sandwich was pretty delicious. My friend ordered a gluten free sandwich and thought it was great, and it was under a dollar for the upgrade whereas other establishments would charge more. You order at the counter but a server brings the dish to your table, our servers were very friendly and reminded us that the soft serve ice cream is free. I would return just for the black current iced tea, it was so refreshing! I always prefer to frequent a locally owned business and will be returning soon.

Ten months later and about ten trips here since my last review. This location is now a 5 star in my books. Food is still very delicious, especially the garden bar. Their sandwiches are well worth the price, especially the quantity they give you on it. I don’t know why I stopped at 4 stars, but I’m upgrading them because of the customer service. Everyone here is friendly and professional. Props to the manager for overseeing awesome employees.
In case you were wondering, they do deliver. However you can eat from Jason’s Deli, whether it be sitting down, taking it to-​go, or having it delivered, you should definitely try it if you haven’t yet.
If you opt for the salad bar, they have many options. Not as big as some other places, but everything on the line is fresh and delicious. I’m a huge of fan of hummus, and they do have it for the taking!
Now I’m off to find out who Jason actually is because his idea for a restaurant works!

Sometimes a restaurant is nearly in your face and, for some reason, you just ignore it! Stuuuuuuuuuupiddd! This place is fantastic for a low to midpriced restaurant. The salad bar is scrumptious and the muffaletta will zoom you right back to New Orleans! I had the turkey muffaletta and could not help finishing the whole quarter-​round. Not everyplace in Nawlins serves muffalettas this way but I think the Rounds are the best which are served on a fresh sesame roll. Deeeeelicious.
Will be back again SOOOOOOOOOOOOON! Try it, is my perfect advice!

I guessed that the word «deli» meant just that. Being from NY and LA, I tried their pastrami sandwich, as did my girlfriend. Oy what a mistake! The rye bread was bizarre (read — tasteless), and any similarity between their pastrami and the real thing simply did not exist. They don’t have cole slaw! WHAT? Finally, the balance of the afternoon, my girlfriend spent in bathrooms.
We agreed that we have now gone there twice — first AND last time.

I’ll start by saying this was my first time at Jason’s Deli and how friendly and helpful the staff is! That’s an awesome plus. Their menu is great from light to filling options. They have like 8 soups a day, a fresh salad bar and especially impressed that they have plenty of vegetarian and organic options, & not to forget the free ice cream. Anyway, I left super full, satisfied, and with the urge to return.

Just had their New Mighty Wild Salmon Salad. Highly nutritious, mixed with organic greens and more. The salmon is a wild sockeye from Alaska. Dressing is Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar. Yummy… And Free Ice Cream

I go here for lunch about once a week. Has always been great awesome sandwiches and great soups and salads. And very speedy. And the bus staff is great very friendly and helpful. Best lunch place in Tucson!

The California Club is the bomb and the broccoli cheese soup is to die for. I would highly recommend it if you are in a hurry. Because the service I so quick.

We used to be regular patrons of Jason’s, dining there at least once a week. I kept finding too much black pepper in various menu selections and my wife didn’t care for the same herb chicken that she found in multiple menu items. We had stopped eating here for a couple of years until one day we decided to give them another try. We were pleasantly surprised to find that our old concerns had dissipated.
I have discovered my new favorite at Jason’s, the Chicken Pot Pie Soup. All the delicious inside ingredients without all the breading of the shell. If you love that tasty sauce the vegetables and chicken float in then you’ll love this soup. They do lay a piece of fresh baked bread of some kind on top (its light and flaky like a pastry) but its not overwhelming.
My wife usually orders the Cheese and Broccoli soup but decided to try the Southwest Chicken Chili this time. She had them add onions and cheese. She was hoping it would have a little kick but not so much that all she would taste would be the heat. This soup delivered. It was chocked full of chicken, beans, tomatoes, onions and cheese. She got a cup but said she could have eaten a bowl. It was that good!
Jason’s has one of the best salad bars in Tucson. Several kinds of lettuce, spinach, and all the vegetables you can think of plus some you normally don’t see on a salad bar (dill pickles, beets, corn bread for example). All cold, fresh and colorful with many options of regular or low fat dressings. Dessert is covered as well with chocolate and banana pudding, apples, pineapple, and more if you have any room left after your salad. All for a reasonable price of $ 8.
Ice cream is free for everyone and they have both chocolate and vanilla plus a swirl with both flavors.

Love Love Love.
One of my favorite places in town.
I hit up the salad bar after going to the gym sometimes.
Or the baked potato for when I need some comfort food.
The taco salad is awesome sauce! I love how they just pile the chili on top.
The nutty salad is also amazing, it has a nice light dressing and lots of nuts, berries, cheese, and leafy greens.
Great place for lunch.

I LOVE THIER SALAD BAR! When I want to eat healthy and fresh I go eat here. The best part of the salad bar is when you are done eating the veggies and the salad, go for the bran muffins and the chocolate chip putting and mix the two together, HEAVEN!!!
And lastly they just recently added ICE CREAM!!! and its free!!!
Don’t miss out on this!
