| - Some people like it. I went here on the recommendation of a cousin, and I was not impressed. I ordered the Chicken Caesar Salad, and found it very ordinary.
Inside, it was cafeteria style seating with small tables crammed too close together, and lots of noisy kids. I couldn't help but notice that a disproportionate number of the customers were overweight. And it's a small wonder when you look at most of the items on the menu.
Almost every one of their sandwiches, clubs, and wraps, contain significantly more calories and cholesterol than, say, an In-N-Out cheeseburger, in many case over twice as much.
To be fair, they do have a "lighter menu" with six items on it, but only one of those items has fewer calories than an In-N-Out cheeseburger. However, you can also ask for smaller portions (like half-sandwiches) of most of the items on the regular menu.
Even though this is a deli that serves a lot of natural ingredients that are healthy, it also serves a lot of meats (advertised as lean), but no claims are made that the meats are free of nitrites or other chemical additives. Since Jason's Deli does make claims that none of their ingredients contain trans-fat, MSG, or high fructose corn syrup (which is all good), I must assume that they have taken no steps to ensure that their meats are free of nitrites and other chemical additives, which (along with my unexceptional experience eating there) guarantees that I will stay away from this establishment in the future.
