    Very strange experience. Manager was having a laughing contest behind the counter (like a villian laugh competition) that was very jarring, tables were not being bussed (1 out of 30 tables was cleared, the others were piled with trash), and the soda machine needed bags changed. Half way through our chaotic lunch, the manager brought out a JBL speaker and started blasting a soccer game. I found myself watching other people stare at the manager and his team behind the counter as they were screaming about goals. I watched a couple clean off their own table to have somewhere to sit. The food was okay but not worth 11$ for a sandwich and the show. It was my first time at Jason's so I wasn't sure of the vibe but it was weird. I probably will not return.

    I've eaten there for lunch.One time, very clean food was great. Most of The Times I go in there. I do DoorDash part-time something to do food's always on order Perfect.When it comes out no complaints, the girls there.Do a great job, highly recommend it, then they're probably 50 times picking up orders, never had a problem..

    Salad bar is always good! I can fill my to go up to top and not feel guilty.

    Ordered the "Bigger better BLT" despite what the name implies, it's far worse than a normal BLT and I can't in good faith call it a BLT for it cannot be eaten like a sandwich and each bite does not contain bacon lettuce and tomato.

    Nice location food was different from other deli’s

  • June 4, 2026

    Skyla is just amazing. Always. Positive no matter what.

    It took me a very long time to get my food. But it was really excellent- the salad bar looks like a real hit. The parking was ample, and I feel like this is probably kind of an underrated place because it's an unusual but good dining experience. And the free ice cream for everyone is a nice touch. 4/5

    Extremely consistent since the first time I ate at one in 2008. We will definitely be back soon.

    Pomegranate drink went away....very disappointing

  • May 27, 2026

    I must say I don't go here very often but every time I have visited it has been a pleasure dealing with the service members and it's very clean spacious and friendly. Food prices are very affordable and quality of food is even better

    This is one of our go-to resto for Sunday's lunch with my family. There food is freshly prepared, great taste with affordable price. Although, there was this one time when we dined in towards dinner time, the creamy soup was a little sour already. We had it changed and the staff was apologetic and changed it without further question. Overall, we love the place and their food menu. Definitely, we will come back and dine in again for lunch :-)

    4 star for prices. adding $5 charge for salad bar to have super small amount of chicken is crazy to me.

  • May 13, 2026

    Jason's deli is always a good place for sandwiches or soup. Their salad bar is excellent

  • May 12, 2026

    Food was awesome. Not cheap. Not expensive. Worth it tho. Staff was super friendly. Restaurant itself is really nice

  • May 11, 2026

    Absolutely awful experience. The food was honestly disgusting. The Caesar salad dressing tasted gross and completely ruined the salad. The potato soup was so watered down it had little to no flavor at all. The garlic bread was basically cardboard with butter slapped on it. Extremely disappointing meal from start to finish. I will never be eating here again.

    A roach crawled across my table while me and my family were eating dinner.

    Great Salad Bar & variety!

  • April 18, 2026

    What can I say the salad bar is the best. Always friendly staff, and clean. That Chicken pot pie, and that little puff pastry that goes on top.My God it's good!! I need some discount or something. I'm there weekly.

  • April 15, 2026

    Great food at reasonable price. Nice salad bar.
