Why are we just now getting a Jason's Deli in Cincinnati? Yes, we already have about a gazillion other delis and sandwich shops in town but this is the most unique thus far. The food itself is great, very fresh, and decently portioned (except the baked potatoes which are huge). The menu is expansive, almost too big which makes it hard to choose. It's can also get somewhat pricey. But there salad bar is awesome and there's a free soft serve cone to finish things up. Now the negatives. Parking at this location can be VERY crappy and I don't think time of day really makes a difference. Between Lime, the new Taste of Belgium and various other restaurants, you'll be fighting for a space that doesn't involve a hike. I already mentioned this but it can get a little pricey. Lastly, during my visit, we had a busboy that practically hovered over us, waiting to take our empty plates. There was even a point where he tried to take a plate that my friend was still eating from. Very VERY annoying. read more

I went to pick up lunch for my wife. So I was in a rush. Parking sucks. When I went to the carryout line the cashier was on the phone taking orders. She referred me to the next cashier who was counting the register. She referred me to the next cashier where there were 20 people in line. I was not thrilled. But LESLIE so my situation and stepped up and took my order through the back register. She was pleasant, helpful and made sure the customer was happy. I have been on the business for 20 years. Hats off to Leslie. Amazing job. My wife said it was the best sandwich ever. Jason, hold on to her. She loves what she does and it show. I will definitely return because of her. read more

First, waited 20 minutes for soup and sandwich when there were two other people in the restaurant at 4 PM on Wednesday. There were 6 people working in the kitchen/deli area. Not to mention that I felt like it was an inconvenience that I was there wanting food. I'm still baffled! Then there was the food! Yuck is the first word that comes to mind. French onion soup had absolutely no flavor. An where was the cheese?!? Roast beef, ham and cheese on toast with mayo. Easy enough. Except I got turkey instead of ham and mustard instead of mayo on soggy bread. Seriously? If I could give Jason's Deli no stars, I would! read more

We love this place. Great food, and a great place to take kids. We always take full advantage of the free ice cream. Try the chicken chili if you like soup. My wife likes the gluten free bread. Staff is friendly. read more

JASON'S DELI IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN PANERA! The half sandwich, chips, and soup is an amazing deal. So much food! Plus free ice cream at the end! I'm definitely coming back! read more

Decent casual dining joint. The service is good, the place is clean, and the soft serve at the end of the meal is usually worth dining in. There is a pretty extensive menu ofsandwich, salad, pasta, and soup options and quite a few health conscious selections. Price point is pretty standard $6-$9 for a meal. Staff are friendly and food usually comes out pretty quickly. I would add this place to the rotation if you don't want to cook on a week night and still want to enjoy good old American dining. read more

Great deli selection with fresh tasting ingredients. I like that they give you healthy options like fresh fruit or steamed veggies instead of chips. I'm totally going to try the salad bar next time I'm here. Oh and I will come back. P.s. free ice cream! read more

See all

Love this place! Best salad bar in town IMO! Everything I've had there is great! I love the savvy chicken salad the most! Also try a bowl of the pulled pork and sweet potato soup! I don't like soups much but I ALWAYS get a cup of this in the side! And who doesn't love free ice cream?! read more

This place is wonderful! The staff was friendly, helped us with the ordering process, and kept our table cleared and neat. The food here is FRESH and delicious! We had the meatball sub, the club, and the salad bar, and we're completely satisfied and surprised by how fresh everything was, along with the portion sizes. For a quick meal this cafeteria style dining is a great choice! read more

First time coming here. I was surprised with how much variety they have. Have had a good amount of sandwiches recently so I went with chicken Alfredo instead. You get plenty of pasta and a decent amount of chicken, plus 2 pieces of their garlic bread which was almost like Rosemary bread dipped in a little bit of olive oil. It was pretty different from what I'm used to with garlic bread, but really satisfying. Some nice perks are that some things on the end of the salad bar like crackers and corn bread are free, and soft serve ice cream is free for everyone. Only thing that could've been better was the cleanliness. I noticed there was scattered garbage on the floor that didn't seem to be getting anyone's attention, and the bowls for soft serve looked like they just got washed out and hadn't been dried. read more

This is a really good restaurant my first time coming did not know what to expect. Ordered a turkey sandwich and broccoli and cheese soup all I can say was amazing try it on a croissant roll. read more

I highly recommend this place. It is right by my work, so I tend to eat here often. I'm in love with their salad bar - everything is always fresh, and they have a very good variety of choices. Their deli menu also has a great variety. I'm very open about the foods I try, and I have not found a deli sandwich that I didn't like so far (I've eaten almost all of them!). They also offer good soups and pastas, as alternatives, as well as their specialty salads (but I prefer the salad bar). I don't get tired of eating here because there's such a nice variety in their menu. They even add seasonal dishes, which I highly enjoy! read more

Excellent food, very clean restaurant. The meal came out quickly and it came with all sorts of freebies. Cornbread and Ice cream for free??? I'm sold!! read more

This is like an upgraded Panera. I got the California club and it is the best sandwich I have ever had. (Avocado is boss) My friend got the regular club and it was definitely not as good. The salad bar looked really fresh although I did not partake. I really like this deli since it's easy to make healthier options. I really liked the dipping sauce with the fruit. The restaurant was clean and everything came out fast. I will be back for lunch. read more

I love this place. Who doesn't love free ice cream??? Service is always great. The reason it only gets 4 stars? I can't stand how big the items in the salad bar are. LOL. I feel like I spend half my lunch cutting up my salad. I also wish they had a side salad and soup option for to go. You are forced to get the huge salad if you want to build it yourself which is a bummer. But the food is great! read more

I got the Reuben the Great and it was delicious! I've been looking for a good corned beef sandwich here in Cincinnati as I'm a Cleveland native and we love our corned beef. My boyfriend got the pasta and was highly impressed. The service was fast and the food was fresh even though they were extremely busy. We will definitely be back! read more

I got a sandwich and one trip to the salad bad. While the sandwich was delicious, I should have just gone for the unlimited salad bar instead. It would have been all around tastier and a better value. The store was fairly busy, we went between lunch and dinner on a weekend. Provided a bit of a loud experience and the store was out of a few things repeatedly. The free ice cream definitely was a great surprise, and tasty too! We will probably go back, and this time we'll know what to order! read more

I seriously love this place, seriously if I wasn't happily married I would stalk Jason's like a crazy lady. If I don't go there at least once a week I have salad bar withdrawals. First thing to love are the prices. My husband and I each order a salad bar, sometimes with soup or a sandwich and it is always under $30.00 If I order a sandwich I always end up taking it home and eating it for lunch the next day. Second thing to love. Free soft serve ice cream. Really, it's free and they put syrup out for you to use, and you can put nuts on it from the salad bar. The staff doesn't judge you for eating it and sometimes they even give tips on how they eat it. Third reason I love Jason's Deli. Their salad bar is the absolute, positively without a doubt the best low cost dining experience in town. Most of the products are organic. They have the staples like spinach, mixed greens, cucumbers, boiled eggs and bacon. They also have humus, quinoa and pasta salad. The list goes on and on. It is always clean and there is almost always a dedicated attendant. Fourth reason. The build your own sandwiches. To truly grasp the available options you need to download Jason's app. The app is only a 3.5 star because it is slow but once you open it up the magic begins. Choose between 10 types of bread and it just gets better and better. My current favorite is Antibiotic free chicken on a toasted onion bun With lettuce tomato mixed greens muenster cheese and pesto But hey you make your own. I saved the best for last Their staff is awesome! They are helpful, they smile, they make recommendations and they don't judge if you ask for a large cup for the ice cream. read more

Unfortunately, my review is based not on the food, but on a sanitation and hygiene concern I experienced today. I was introduced to Jason's Deli about a month ago and have become a very frequent patron, due to my specialized diet. I love their salads. I'm a light eater so the portion size for my customary cuisine fits perfectly. I patronize them at least once a week and have for the most part been delighted. Today, however, I witnessed something that turned my stomach and may alter the frequency of future visits. Had it been handled properly after I voiced my concern, I might not be writing this review. However, the manager was not very responsive to my concerns and didn't seem to be as bothered by what his employee did as he should have been. I was standing at the counter waiting to request a container for my salad. An employee was in front of the counter bent over with his back to me with both of his arms all of the way down past his elbows inside the garbage can. After he removed his arms from the garbage, he straightened containers on the counter, then turned and asked what I needed. I requested a container. He turned around, grabbed a container, put utensils inside, closed the lid, then attempted to hand it to me. I refused to take it. I told him he did not wash his hands. Rather than acknowledge that he was clearly wrong, he got angry, threw up his hands and walked away, leaving me standing there as though I were wrong for bringing it to his attention and refusing to take food and silverware from him after I watched him fully immersed in the garbage seconds before. His response was that the garbage can was clean. I'm not sure in which universe a garbage can is clean enough to eat from, but certainly not a restaurant. I don't touch my own garbage can at home without thoroughly washing my hands afterwards. That was disgusting! I immediately asked for the manager. When I explained it to him, he responded something about his 17 year old son. I said that man was older- definitely over 40 if I had to guess- certainly old enough to know better. The manager said he would coach him. That was it. He didn't seem to grasp the severity of that sanitation breach. Just last week, I read dozens of people were sickened at a cookout in North Carolina, many who landed in intensive care, when someone contaminated the food after failing to wash their hands. Food handling, preparation, proper hygiene and sanitation protocols are most important for a restaurant. I have had my share of sickness after eating at restaurants with poor quality control. If Jason's employee didn't care enough to wash his hands before serving a customer, after being immersed in a garbage can, I wonder how they are training their employees. Their responding in anger or expressing nonchalance at the customer, rather than being genuinely concerned about the safety regulations they violated was disturbing. read more

I'd call this a solid crowd pleaser maybe not outstanding but that's not always necessary and I love a half sandwich half whatever I want combo. For this trip I had a half French dip and a hefty one pass salad bar add-on that was quite enjoyable. Family was greeted warmly and staff provided smiles and coloring pages with fresh crayons for the kids. Kids meal was a bit lackluster though with two each apple slices and strawberries. One thing that I have never seen done and truly appreciate is the hooks outside of the restrooms that every employee uses to hang their aprons before entering. read more

Ugh...I'm usually not into chains and I'm fairly certain this is a growing chain but this place was legit. It was only my first time.e but I can tell you that I'll be back to try plenty more on the menu. I tried the French o ion soup and Greek inspired wrap. Both nice not too terrible unhealthy options. I also ordered a sandwich to go which I discovered may just be the best sandwich deal in town...a giant (could easily feed 4 for lunch) mufaletta. This thing was packed with meat and super flavorful. Everything from the olive spread to the bread was on point. This may just be the best lunch suggestion in Kenwood. They had a full salad bar setup as well if you're into that thing. Lastly there were lots of older people in there which usually means they give you great portions at good prices. Love you Grandma. read more

Never been here before. Really good, fresh food at a reasonable price. Staff was courteous and professional. Fed three people for $40. I will be coming back! read more

One of the best sandwiches I've ever had(the Santa Fe chicken sandwich). Prices are very reasonable and the staff and service is great! I would highly recommend. read more

We love Jason's deli! The food here is fantastic, it's clean, and the employees are so friendly. Everything I've eaten here is delicious, but today I got the taco salad with chili for lunch and it was SO GOOD. Probably the best taco salad I've ever had! The light portion was a generous size and enough to fill me up for lunch. At the salad bar, there is a free side with crackers, nuts/dried fruit, and mini muffins. It is a very family friendly restaurant and my sister loves bringing her kids here because they get little snacks from the free side of the salad bar to keep them occupied. Oh and did I mention the free ice cream bar?! You can get chocolate, vanilla or swirl ice cream complimentary with chocolate or caramel sauces. Yum!! Such a good idea. I would highly recommend Jason's Deli for a casual lunch or dinner. read more

Best salad bar in Ohio. Maybe even America. Probably the world. Portions are pretty big. Plus, you can never go wrong with FREE soft serve. Sign me the hell up. read more

I been a fan of Jason for a while now, he's like my bro! He offers a menu for vegans, vegetarians, and carnivores. You got to love a guy with choices! The food is so so tasteful! Best thing smoking is the free ice cream!!! Come get you a cone! read more

I ordered catering from this Jason's Deli for a client in Cincinnati. The gentleman who took my order over the phone was great and the young lady who delivered it was kind and professional. In a rare instance I actually got to eat something I catered in for clients and it was great- we have one in Chicago so I wouldn't expect anything less. Being from out of state and catering for clients can be stressful but this team made is easy and had my itemized receipt and everything ready for me- much appreciated! read more

My first visit. I made a carry out order. Was quick and correct! In and out quickly. Greeted when I came in the door and offered a menu for viewing. Ended up with the chicken ranchero wrap. I'm pretty picky but was surprised how much I enjoyed this wrap. The chicken was moist and flavorful and the other ingredients were fresh. Would definitely come back. Dining area looked clean and attended to. They have a salad bar, sandwiches, wraps &'pasta dishes. Comparative to a Panera. read more

Jason's Deli - Delis Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I love that you can get fresh, mostly healthy food here. The old-school, yet updated salad bar is nice. And who doesn't love free ice cream? My husband is a vegetarian and there are plenty of veggie options. I do think it's a wee bit overpriced but overall a great spot for lunch or dinner. read more

Ordered 2 sandwiches to go via phone. When I got there and stood in front of the to go register, I thought I was invisible since no one wanted to actually help me. It was probably less than 5 minutes that I waited there, but shouldn't have been that long with all the staff that saw me there. I then tried to add water to the order and that proved to be difficult and had to be rung up separately even after they had me move to a different register since they thought that was the issue. Was looking forward to a nice corned beef on rye with coleslaw and Russian dressing (even said so on the receipt), but instead I got a Reuben on whole grain. I ended up picking the corned beef off the sandwich and just eating that. I gave them 2 stars because I also ordered a club sandwich for someone else and they actually enjoyed it. read more

Great deli with an Organic salad bar!!!!!!!!!! Generous portions and at a fair price. Free Ice Cream!!!!!!!! read more

Great place for an easy salad (bar). We tend to frequent here a little because it's quick and easy. It's a nice healthy option for a salad. They have soups and sandwiches too. They look good but we usually stick to the salad bar. It has lots of options. The only thing I would change (and can't really change) is the parking. It's difficult to find a parking spot in the lot. read more

We've been to this location countless times but never reviewed it. Which is a shame because it definitely delivers. Our food orders are always accurate and quality is usually excellent. The one time our food was delayed (slightly) they made it right, no issues, before we could bring it to their attention. That's service. Also who can fault free mini muffins and soft serve? If you like your tea sweet but not too much, I recommend mixing the sweet and currant teas. read more

My son lives in Clifton and said this is a must try. We drove from West Chester and will definitely make the trip again. When he said deli, we weren't too excited. "Deli" doesn't do it justice! This place has a very eclectic menu, sure to please everyone in your group. We had: penne with meatballs, chicken Alfredo, chicken panini, salmon sandwich, Ruben, broccoli cheddar soup, French onion soup, and chili. Oh yeah, and some free ice cream... staff was very friendly and helpful. Generous portions, super fast service, and free ice cream... YUM! Definitely will be back, can't wait to try the salad bar... Give it a try, your taste buds and tummy will thank you. read more

My son has mentioned this deli several times but my work schedule has been hectic. Today we both had days off so we went to Jason's Deli Here's my honest review: Very clean! Extremely customer focused!!! Lots of staff Food line very clean, stocked and organized Food doesn't take long at all Free ice cream bar as well Now our meals: these have got to be some of the best deli sandwiches we have ever had!!! Large portions; fresh bread; meats that melt in your mouth; condiments that blend really well These were totally outstanding deli sandwiches!!! Definitely worth a visit for new comers and we will be regulars Thank you Jason Deli and staff!!!! read more

Drove from Dayton to eat here! They have a fantastic salad bar with lots of choices. Kids had grilled cheese with soup and husband had a sandwich. The sandwiches are good size portion. Nice staff. read more

Pastrami is very good. Not Katz's in NYC but very good. Everything I have had has been good. The French onion soup is a go to also. The free soft serve cannot be beat read more

I'd say Jason's Deli is a solid value. Deli food isn't my favorite, honestly, so I'm not really their core demographic. If you're a soup, sandwich, and salad bar kind of person, though, I'd definitely recommend it. I had a reasonably-priced turkey sandwich with avocado and pepperjack on a toasted onion roll. It was a good sandwich for $5.79. They have free soft serve for everyone, and it's good soft serve at that! I'll definitely stop by for lunch again at some point. read more

Clean, modern facility. Great variety of sandwiches and soups. The salad bar is fantastic. And you get free ice cream!

Couldn't wait to visit Jason's Deli since I hear they were FINALLY coming to Cincinnati in June. Their all-you-can-eat salad bar is a bargain at around $7, which includes many non-salad items and organics. Even if you opt for one of their sandwiches, you can still enjoy their famous muffins and ice cream to finish off your meal for free. I dare you to find a better deli at a better value than Jason's. read more
