I finally found a winner of a meal. I stopped in at 3pm on a Monday. Mr. Jackson waited on me again and recognized me. We chatted a bit after he served me a full portion of curry chicken with fried rice. It was well spiced. The fried rice has no pork in it, which is how I prefer it. Other customers came in, but when he had time he told me about his two years in the US Army as a draftee from San Diego n the mid 1960s. He stayed here to open his business and has been cooking food ever since. "If I had retired from the army, I'd be over 100 years old now!" he said. He only shuts down when he travels for a week. He is a true gentleman and I'm glad we got to meet. read more

Ordered an 8 inch roast beef sandwich. I was expecting deli meat, sliced but it was not. Over cooked and the meat was hot even though I asked for cold. The roll was stale and did not ask me what kind of bread I would like. I would have done better at subway. If you want a great deli, go to Jersey Mikes not this place. read more

In Sierra Vista, Arizona there is a food staple. That staple is Jackson's Deli. This restaurant is one of the longest running restaurants, with the same owner for over 40 years! I have tried many items in the menu and never had a bad meal. Today, I'm having the chicken fried rice medium spice. It's so delicious!! The owner Jackson and his wife are super nice and always greet you when you enter! Their outstanding service and food are awesome! The restaurant looks like your typical deli style. Make sure you bring your appetite! CHEERS!! read more

We had chicken teriyaki and a turkey sandwich! All I can say is YUMMMMMMY! The food is great and the prices are fair. It's a mom & pop restaurant so it's a little cramped in the dining area and the place needs a coat of paint but the food is GREAT! I would recommend that you try it!! read more

I ordered orange chicken and beef broccoli with fried rice for $22, a bit pricey for Chinese food. NOT the typical Chinese food flavor I'm accustomed to back east or even anywhere. Orange chicken had an adobo taste, too salty, and again did not look or taste like orange chicken. The beef broccoli was also too salty and was overwhelmed with sesame oil or something similar because the after taste was unbearable. $11 for each meal, drinks not included. I'm willing to pay the price but the quality and taste must justify; in this case, fell short of expectation. Unfortunately, I will not frequent this place. CASH only, Credit card not accepted. read more

Delightful Ruben sandwich. I requested Mr. Jackson to prepare it according to his personal preference. He certainly delivered a satisfying result. read more

Great portions for the price. Have it you way for real at this place. Nice cozy place to eat at.

Great food great service always a pleasure they always remember my order it's refreshing

Not going to lie, the place seemed odd, a "deli" that also has Asian food and gyros? I was not sure what to expect when I walked in, based on prior reviews and pictures. I can say I was pleasantly surprised. I got the Mongolian beef, and despite its looks, it tasted great! I have yet to have a sandwich there, but I will be back for sure to try other things. It is clear that the beef itself was cooked ahead of time and microwaved, but the fried rice was good and the beer wasn't like rawhide. Overall I am going three stars, but only until I can try more food there, which I will. read more

Coworker and I went here for lunch today. We got there, immediately seen on the door it was CASH ONLY. Left went to grab cash. Came back, couple was very friendly. Menu was everywhere, and over priced. Food was not what we were expecting. My Friend got lomein and noodles were sticky. Sauce was thick, salty, and not good enough to get past a couple bites. Hers cost her $10 for noodles and can soda.I got the chicken cheesesteak, and the fries were good typical frozen, fried, fries. The cheesesteak was ok, definitely perfer Charleys just not what I was expecting. Mine was $15, sand which with fries and can soda. read more

Never been here before. Saw it with a buddy and stopped. I'm glad we did. Awesome owners and very friendly. The food was made quick and tasted great. The only reason for 4 Stars is because it is a CASH ONLY establishment. It was nice and cool in there. If you have time to stop by you should. read more

I'll admit that I haven't been through the door for years-until today. I finally thought about the deli again last night while scheming on a good meal of chicken fried rice. ( My favorite local spot closed down several weeks ago and I DON'T like the chain places.) I am so glad that I thought of Jackson's. Good food at a great price and swell portions. While my medium chicken fried rice came to a total of $9.50. I'm sure that I'll get at least 3 meals out of it. I'll be back. Often. read more

This place was definitely a surprising experience. I found parking right in front of the restaurant, and saw a sign in the window that said "If we're not open, just stuff money under the door." I thought that was pretty cute and amusing. I wasn't too sure what else to expect from this place, but the second I stepped out of my car and got a whiff of deliciousness wafting from the establishment, I knew I was in for a treat! I don't think delicatessens should really smell like anything though, so I was curious to know what I would find once I made my way inside. It is a pretty small restaurant, especially with all the vintage decorations on the wall. Also on the wall right in front of you was a huge menu listing everything from sandwiches, gyros, brats, burgers, AND Chinese food. I had the brat and it was pretty good. I think the place was a bit pricey though, but I think it would be worth it for lunch every now and then. There are definitely a few quirks about this place that would make me come back just to make sure I didn't miss anything else highly interesting and amusing. read more

I could write some long review about the quality of the food, etc. But I think my one star rating can be summed up as such: They cooked a cockroach into my Philly cheesesteak. Even the cashier went into the bathroom to throw up when I showed her. After I came home and stopped throwing up I figured I'd let everyone else know about this wonderful new condiment you have a chance at eating in your sandwich. Sounds outrageous? It is. I have no reason to lie to you. read more

You walk in and you can clearly see that the place has some history. Reminds me of some of the bodegas and sandwich shops on the east coast. I would call it the equivalent of a "greasy spoon" deli. Food was generously portioned and no complaints on the taste. I had a philly cheese steak and fried rice, interesting combo but good taste. The lady that runs the place is a sweet heart and went out of her way to make sure I had everything I needed and even came around to help me with the door with loaded hands. Quick lunch option if you work on the fort. read more

I have been coming to Jackson's for a long time. I always order a Bacon Cheeseburger with everything on it, a side order of potato salad, and of course a Strawberry soda. First let me tell you what is awesome about Jackson's: they have the best soda selection there is, from strawberry, to Crush orange soda, Cream soda, to Root beer, and a whole assortment of other anomalies that you used to drink when you were a child. Second, the décor is wacko! Especially with a sign that says "If we're not open, just stuff money under the door." But it makes it that much more awesome, because it reflects the menu choices: how often can you order a cheeseburger, or anything else for that matter with a choice of fries, potato salad, or fried rice on the side?? This place is a hidden gem and is only frequented by locals. It's pretty divey, so don't be freaked out. It get's warm in here too, and seating is limited. It can get a little pricey, but the portions are huge, and your belly will thank you. I have never been disappointed when I come here. TIP: CASH ONLY read more

this is my go to gyro place south of phx. BE WARNED that their gyros come with cheese tho...i'm not a fan, but if you are, enjoy. these puppies are so over stuffed with tasty goodness that i end up sharing half of it with my dog and we BOTH end up as super happy campers. i went tonight and the ADORABLE little old man who works there made fries fresh for me AND filled up my sweet tea (!!!!!) before he opened the door for me to head home and enjoy my grub. they have cheap (like...25 cent) books there to buy...or just read while you wait. and they also have candy and stuff for sale...really cheap and random enuf that they might have something for everyone. they do only take cash tho...totally worth the stop at the atm!!!! you MUST try this place!!!!!!!!! read more

Hometown favorite. They have the best sesame chicken and pastrami burgers in town! The owners are super sweet, but only accept cash.

I really wanted to love this place, but it was disappointing. I didn't care that it was small, unkept, and cluttered. Or that the food was overpriced (at first). My order included a pastrami sandwich, teriyaki beef and fried rice. The pastrami was really salty and dry, the bread was just ok. The beef was just ok. It's sliced thin and had more onions than meat. The rice was just white rice with a little sauce mixed in it. At least I can say I tried it. At this point I'm just hoping we don't get sick. The ingredients didn't taste or look very fresh. read more

CASH ONLY. Now that that's out of the way, Jackson's Deli is one of the strangest hole-in-the-wall places in town that I've ever been to. Eclectic doesn't even begin to describe it; it's like someone transported a tiny deli from 1970s Chicago and plopped it in modern-day Sierra Vista. The variety of food is almost suspicious, ranging from Chinese to American to Greek etc. After taking a bit too long scanning the menu, I was hinted by the cashier that I should try the Cheesesteak, so I did. I wasn't disappointed. Even though the fries were a bit soggy and everything was served on a plastic plate, the cheesesteak was fantastic. I don't know how they do it, but they obviously know their stuff. They also serve Tsingtao beer, bargain-bin DVDs, and old paperbacks. This place is weird, but also charming. If you like hometown kitsch, this might be the place for you. read more

Hole in the wall restaurant. Food was great but quite pricey. They only take cash and it makes me wander why. Are they avoiding taxes?

Yeah, so there's no Wi-Fi, they only take cash, and the place is dated and probably hasn't changed in 20 years. But who cares, they serve a delicious cheesesteak, and they have very reasonable daily specials. Like five dollars for a sandwich and a side and a drink. Oh yeah, and I can't name another place in town that I can get a cheesesteak, Gyro, or sweet-and-sour chicken and have a beer with my meal - this is a real deli, -they serve beer! This place definitely has character, and the people that run the place are old school, but really nice and friendly. I think I'm going to like this place more and more, as it is truly a mom-and-pop place. I'm looking forward to going back and trying more of their menu. read more

Like the generic Tony the tiger would say, "IIIIITTTTTT'S FOOOOOD!!!" There's a lot on the menu and I've had the gyro, fried rice, and pastrami sandwich. Each thing tasted like it should but didn't really stand out. If it's not on the menu, my guess is they'll try and make it for you anyway. Very nice people. I wouldn't say it's great but it's not bad. read more

Cash-only dive with excellent food. Yum The place isn't the most modern, their menu isn't the most healthy, but their food is excellent. I stick to their hot sandwiches (gyros, schnitzel, etc...) as I find their cold cuts to not be at the same level as their hot entrees. Also, where can you get a schnitzel sandwich with a side of fried rice? read more

I love this place! Jason H, who reviewed Jackson's earlier called it: I can confirm this place has not changed in 20 years, and for me, that is part of the charm! I first ate at Jackson's in 1991, when I was stationed at FT Huachuca, and I still do, when I can. I don't go to Sierra Vista often now, maybe once every few years, but when I do, I still make it a point to stop in at Jackson's. You can't go wrong with their Cheese steaks, Ham n' Cheese, Reuben, pastrami, patty melt, or any of their burgers. My favorite is the full order fried rice, extra spicy with everything! read more

I ordered 2 gyros, a cheeseburger and a small shrimp fried rice and my order was $53.00. How the total came to that I do not know. I asked for a receipt and was given a hand written receipt that just said my total on it only and no itemization. The gyro meat was dry and the taki sauce was simply sour cream. All that was on the gyros was the sour cream and some tomatoes.The fried rice had a couple bean sprouts in it and a few small pieces of egg other than that no vegetables and had hardly any flavor. The meal was definitely not worth $53. I will not be going there again. read more

Jackson's Deli is one of the best hidden gems in Sierra Vista! Their menu is extensive, from the best subs and burgers to fried rice and egg rolls. The service is fast, efficient, and the two person staff is always polite and ready to serve. The only drawback is that they only take cash, no plastic, but it's well worth the trip to the ATM. My boyfriend and I go there at least twice a month, and we've never had any issues. read more

The best Fried Rice in Sierra Vista! Their BLT Sandwich meal is also very good, and I usually substitute the fries with Fried Rice. The only reason I am giving them 3 Stars is that they only take cash (which concerns me about taxes being paid), and they kept raising prices (at least on my BLT and Rice plate)... it now costs $12.20 ... so I only visit very rarely now. read more

I have been eating at Jackson's Deli for the last 14 years of my life and I love the owner, Jackson. Jackson's Deli has all the traits I look for in good food. It's greasy, good portioned, dive-y appearance, and not to mention delicious. Jackson used to make me a special Philly cheese steak combined with Asian vegetables and sprouts. Everything I have ever eaten here has been good. Never had a problem with Jackson's deli. I love this place with all my heart. It brings back such good memories of my youth. Writing this review makes me so hungry! read more

This is one of those social experiments gone wrong. If there was one place in town the food inspector missed it was here. Do not go here for the food, unless of course you like the taste of stir fry, hoagie roll, hamburger, shrimp, fries, lo mein, and other unidentified items all cooked on the same grill and served up to you. umm umm Lo mein flavored hamburger. If you do want to experience the sights and sound of a crammed cafe with hand written signs, variable prices for the same items, stickers, posters, cards, pictures and other variety items then this is the feast for the eyes. Caveat Emptor read more

This place rocks!! I've been there twice and loved it. We are from Maryland and there's a certain way we like our shrimp fried rice. Jackson's nailed it!!! The servings are heaping and very flavorful. My husband likes their steak and cheese. read more

What a great place. It had to be one of the best hot pastrami I have ever had. The owner takes extra care to make sure you enjoy your meal. This is a must try if your in Sierra Vista. read more

Ordered lunch to go. Ordering on the phone was quick and easy. Pickup was fast and smooth. Food was good and fresh. Roast beef was particularly good. Sandwiches were nice and fat with just the right amount of condiments. Price was reasonable. read more

Been eating here for years. My parents even longer. Jackson and his wife are real nice peeps! Food is always on point. I usually keep it original with the gyros and philly. Fried rice is best in town. If yuu like a good philly or gyro it's a must. Most people don't know they have a breakfast menu. Really good. Patty melts are good too. Don't forget too try their homemade sweet tea!!! read more

If you order anything to try this place make it the ham and cheese sandwich. It will blow you away at how good they can take a simple sandwich and put so many great flavors in it. read more

I had heard about Jackson's deli from a post on a local Facebook page. I had seen it several times since moving here and always thought I should go in and check it out. Today I made the decision to go, and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I decided to get a gyro, because I have not had a good one in a very long time since moving to Arizona from New York. It is absolutely delicious!, and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I decided to get a gyro, because I have not had a good one in a very long time since moving to Arizona from New York. It is absolutely delicious! Fresh ingredients cooked right there and it's a really casual environment. The owner is absolutely adorable, and it's a great value for the quality of the food. Which is amazing. I will absolutely be back to try more of their menu options. In particular I am looking at a Philly cheesesteak. But I also might have to try their Chinese food. Yes. I said Chinese food read more
