Had you asked me about Jason's Deli a few months back I would've told you they're a 4-star place due to the consistency of the food and generous portions.
Now, not so much....
The food has changed a bit as some of our favorites are made a bit differently....almost knocking Jason's off of our favorite local stuff yo face places for lunch.
Example: The Sgt Pepper Po Boy used to be stuffed with a ton of roast beef, roasted red chili peppers and smothered in so much cheese your doctor would smack you in the back of the head and ask, "Seriously? Seriously? You're really going to eat that much cheese?". On recent visits, the same sandwich seems a bit "anemic" with less toppings and size that's no longer impressive.
Yes, size does matter.
The free ice cream is good, not the highest quality stuff but how can you really complain when it's F-R-A-H?!?! It's a great place for us to bring the monkeys when they're in a rowdy mood as they can munch on their food and then we can tame the little beasts with an ice cream dessert.
Another favorite which hasn't changed too much is the baked potato with chicken and pico de gallo sauce. Oh yeah, if you're never had one of their full sized baked potatoes they are friggin ENOURMOUS monsters!! The wife and I usually end up sharing one as it's just way too much carbs for a single person to ingest in a single sitting.
Their chili also pairs well with their baked potato as we've been known to order a small cup and pour some on our baked potato goodness.
Yummers...
Hopefully the quality of the food will not decrease and will go back to the same level as when they first opened. I'm no longer inclined to order their sandwiches anymore but will probably go the salad bar or the baked potato route on future visits.
BTW, the one thing I love about this location is being able to call ahead and place an order for pick-up. On days when there's no food in the house or the monkeys have been especially crazy...I've been known to call Jason's Deli and placed an order for pick-up. It's a great way to score extra points with the bossy lady and cuts out the need for either of us to cook after a long day. The food is always warm, well cooked and as long as I arrive there in time to pick it up makes it to our little home fresh and warm.
Although the pick-up service is great, my choice is still to eat in so I can enjoy the free ice cream. :-)
