| - It was our first time at a Jason's deli. Walking in, we were greeted and they gave us take out menus, which was a good thing, because for some reason on their menu board they only have about 1/4 of the items they serve there, which I thought was very odd. Me and my wife both got half sandwiches and one trip to the salad bar. Our son got bowtie pasta and meatballs. Service was fast, by the time my wife watched our son and I got the salad bar, our food was already at the table, and she hadn't even had a chance to get her salad yet.
The salad bar was fine, it was about similar to what you'd expect from Eat N Park, but soup is sold separately. My main complaint with it was, there was NO french dressing. They had an adequate selection of dressings, but not french. I settled for 1000 Island, but kind of regretted it after I did since I have to be in the mood for it. Also, the one trip to the salad bar is kind of annoying. More so because if you want potato salad, cole slaw, etc., you gotta stack it all together on the plate and it all gets mixed in to your salad. They even had pudding up there, which looked untouched, because I don't think anyone in their right mind would even chance having pudding mix in with the salad.
I got the reuben sandwich. It was good and meaty, but they put about an equal amount of sauerkraut on there as they did meat. I've never seen so much sauerkraut on a sandwich, so I had to scrape off about 75% of it to make it like a normal reuben. The corn beef was awesome though. Probably some of the best I've ever had. They also screwed up and gave me Salt and Vinegar chips instead of BBQ. I didn't even complain because I wasn't hungry enough to eat them anyway after the salad and sandwich, which was plenty of food. My sons pasta was kind of bleh. Not that it wasn't edible, but you can make better tasting pasta out of a box at home. It was a nice option for him, because he's not a sandwich eater, but he'll eat pasta all day every day.
At the end of your meal, they give you free ice cream. We would not have known about it though, except they told the people in front of us, and I overheard them, but they didn't inform us about it.
Overall, the service was good, everyone was friendly and made sure we were happy, and the food was reasonably good. I'm sure I'd go back if I was ever up that way and was hungry for a sandwich, but I wouldn't make a special trip there again like I did today.
