    What I ordered vs. what I got
    Cora S.

    The pictures say everything. What I ordered vs. what I got. Just a bummer of an experience.

    Hawaiian bowl. It was beautiful and was good ... minus the crunchy rice.
    Casey R.

    We needed an easy late night dinner after soccer camp at UNC. Jason Deli seemed to serve our needs for this crazy crew. When we ordered I felt like we were inconvenience to the man at the register. When I asked him a question (gluten free menu as well as the Hawaiian bowl allergy info) it was a simple "I don't know". A lady then stepped in front of us while we were looking at the menu so I just stepped to the side and talked to the other man at the register. He was completely helpful! We placed a potato order, club sandwich and Hawaiian bowl. The food was plentiful. The Hawaiian bowl had rice that was very hard and dried out. I think they scraped the bottom of the rice cooker :-(! The ice cream machine was out as well. I am assuming they started to close down early and not replenish or refresh items which was discouraging. Not sure I would stop here for dinner. Lunch maybe.

    Mediocre sandwich

    The problem is it is very expensive and not very good. I had a pretty lousy reuben sandwich just now. It was dry. I enjoyed choosing the fruit cup instead of chips, but it costs a lot of money!

    Salad bar
    Danielle H.

    Jason's Deli is a good choice for a quick, affordable meal. There are plenty of sandwiches and soups to choose from, and I like that you can opt for fresh fruit with dip as your side item if you desire. The salad bar is pretty well-stocked and includes several pre-made salads such as potato and pasta, mini cornbread muffins, a variety of crunchy toppings, as well as healthier options to top your lettuce such as artichoke hearts, hard boiled eggs, and green peas. This location can get busy at lunch, but it is kept clean and the service is friendly.

    Just look at this sandwich. A picture is worth a thousand words and I'm out. I feel better already.

    Caught a cold... feeling miserable and about to start an antibiotic. Pouting . But wait! I can order the most savory, stacked, sublime Reuben and have it delivered.

    Organic vegetarian soup and salad
    Robbie C.

    Jason's Deli is of course a chain and sometimes, that can be a good dependable choice for a pretty quick lunch. I have been to many of these over the years and always find the same quick service and well kept salad bar. This visit I opted for soup and salad bar. The soup was small but hearty and one trip to the salad bar was plenty. Love that they have artichoke hearts to add to salad.

    I don't really understand the concept behind unlimited soft-serve ice cream and mini muffins, but it adds a lot to the place :) I thought that the free food was supposed to be a draw to disguise the otherwise bad food, but that's not it at all. I've been to Jason's Deli's only twice, but I - and the large horde of people that I came with - was way more than content with the food. The portions are generous and the food is rich, filling and delicious. I had a quarter of a muffaletta my first time and I was overwhelmed by the complexity of flavors in that one bite. The second time that I came here, I got a children's menu (even though I'm 20) quesadilla with fruit and apple juice. It was under $4 and it was fantastic. So, so good. I'm definitely a fan of Jason's Deli.

    The turkey sandwich is quite good, but generally the sandwich breads don't taste that fresh, and a bit too dense.

As you enter there is a sign that tells you to go look at the menu board, pick out your drink, and go back to the counter to order. I grabbed a diet coke, and ordered a Common Cobb. I was a bit surprise when my total came to $18, as my salad was only $14 but I guess I should have paid attention that my bottle of soda was over $3. How much are the fountain drinks, I wonder? I found us a table inside since it was a bit hot that day (there is also plenty of seating outside AND inside if you go downstairs). The table and floor were messy but someone quickly came to clean it for me. They called our names over the loudspeaker and my best friend went to go get our food. She got the MotherClucker. Our food was REALLY good. If you like Cobb salad, you will definitely like this one. The chicken was pan seared perfectly, the vinaigrette was perfectly tangy and the bleu cheese was especially excellent. My friend's chicken sandwich has SO MUCH chicken salad on it. Impressive. There was so many neat items to see in the place. The murals were great, there were some cute retail spaces, a coffee bar up front, a bar downstairs, and ice cream outside! Unfortunately my bestie and I had too much to talk about so we didn't check it out as much as I otherwise wood. I would definitely try this place again!

    "Great deli-style sandwiches, from rather hidden location on Chapel Hill Rd"…read more Came by here on a Saturday. This place is REALLY hard to find... it's behind the State Farm building, but there's barely any signage from the street. (Note: some photos here in Yelp seem to be from an older location.) We actually came one Saturday, but it was unexpectedly closed, but we caught them the following one, so good to call and confirm before driving over. You walk up to a door on the back, and scan a QR code to see the menu. Then knock on/ open the door and someone will come to take your order. Then you wait outside and they bring you your sandwiches. The lady who took our order was very friendly. The kitchen was rather large, so I suspect it's used for more than just this business. We ordered two turkey subs-- the East New York (which was slightly spicy) and the Dumbo. Wait time was maybe 7-10 minutes or so. Both sandwiches came nicely wrapped, and I think total cost was a little over $20. And conveniently, they take Apple Pay. These were not your Subway or Quiznos sandwiches-- these were DELICIOUS pressed sandwiches (we got them on focaccia. I personally liked the Dumbo the best-- it had a nice mix of flavors that meshed well. The East New York was solid and had a nice spiciness, but not quite as exciting overall. Would I come back? Probably, but since there's no seating, and it's a bit awkward, maybe not the first place I'd think to try, but again, the sandwiches were REALLY good. I do think it may be excellent for catering or for getting picnic sandwiches though.

    Man, WHAT A SANDWICH! I got the chicken cutlet sandwich with prosciutto (Uncle Primo's Chicken…read moreCutlet), and it absolutely did not disappoint. Easily one of the best sandwiches I've had in a long time!!! The chicken cutlet was delicious, the prosciutto added a great salty flavor, and the whole thing just worked. I would absolutely go back just for this sandwich. The only downside was the wait. We stood in line for about 45 minutes in the heat, and since it's a pretty small spot with no real waiting area, it can be a rough experience during the summer. There also wasn't any shade or any umbrellas, so standing outside for that long was definitely brutal (highly recommend they add a couple umbrellas or covering to help). That said... what a sandwich. The food was good enough that I'd happily come back and wait again. I'd just recommend going on a cooler day or being prepared to stand outside for a while.

But if the line were shorter in the future I'd come back and try other yummies from the menu.

The Deets: I looked on my trusty Yelp app to see about a good place to catch breakfast before going to the Durham Amtrak station to start a Saturday of adventure with some friends. I found Alimentari at Mothers & Sons and saw that their weekend brunch started at 9am, perfect. I had experienced a wonderful dinner at the main Mothers & Sons right next door to Alimentari so I had a good vibe coming into trying it out. The outside is pretty nondescript except Mothers & Sons on the windows. Upon entering, Alimentari gives a great casual but nice feel as a combination cafe and bistro type impression. I was greeted quickly and cheerfully with water and menus as the server took my drink order to start. I decided on this visit to go with the frittata with prosciutto, caramelized onions, and Caciocavallo cheese. I liked this choice a lot, perfect portion and delicious but I wish I had more of the prosciutto flavor coming through. Throughout this meal, my servers were very positive, helpful, and always made sure I had what I needed. I decided to investigate the pastries items I saw on their bar. There are pinwheels they have on a plate they offer as a free treat, I sampled one and liked it a lot. The large cookies under the glass cake cover caught my eye. My servers described the polenta and lime cookies that were one of the selections and I had to go with those with some coffee, as well as trying one of their plain biscuits from the menu. The biscuit was large, still warm, and baked perfection (not overbaked or underdone). I would not call it a strictly "Southern style biscuit" but it was delicious and I think I would love one here with sausage and egg on future visits. I could have done with less salt on the top though, again a small thing to me. The polenta and lime cookies were a great surprise, I enjoyed these a lot with my coffee and so glad I tried them...very soft and flavorful with just a hint of crunch here and there from the polenta. I recommend them to round off your brunch experience here. I'd say 4.5 stars for food but the great service I received while here rounds them up to an even 5 stars, good breakfast/brunch stop!
