I like a quick spot to grab a samich for lunch and this place does me good. I consider this place an upscale sandwich shop, but really it is more then that. Poorboys, Clubs, Wraps, Salads, Chilli, and free ice cream! I normally choose from the "Lighter" opitions they have on the menu. The menu has a lot to offer and a first timer can be overwhelmed, especially during the lunch rush. They line you up and funnel you up to the the register where you place your oder then grab a seat. On my last visit I had the Turkey Ruben and man it was stuffed with goodness depite coming in around 500 calories. I think you get a very good value for your buck at Jason's Deli. read more

Ok, although I write a whole lot about meat in my reviews, believe it or not, I'm a big fan of salad bars. I know, shocking! Jason's Deli, as expected because duh it's a deli, houses a copious amount of meat. However, equally important, it also carries a huge selection of veggies, dressings, and other goodies in its salad bar. Not only does it have a good selection, its always fresh. Seriously, they have someone constantly replenishing every item. And for an added bonus, it's reasonably priced. Besides the salad bar, the fountain drinks are ace too. They got their own brand of drinks along with commonly found brands. Free refills and they have soft serve cream along the counter. Score! Also, the place is kept really clean and they a have a lot of tables for outdoor seating when it's nice out. This is the first Jason's Deli I've been to in Illinois, and even though its a chain, I liked one in particular. The layout and location are great! read more

I like this place, just don't crave it very often. It's got a great selection. And, although I really don't think it's a a real Deli... they can make a sandwich. I really like there corned beef. It's got a great flavor to it. Usually I only like Corned Beef warm, but here I could go either way. They are probably a little bit more expensive then your average lunch spot... but it's just not an everyday kinda place. The Soups are pretty good too. It's Cafeteria style so no need to tip. Love that aspect. But the staff are very knowledge when ringing up your order, so don't be afraid to ask what their opinions are. read more

Super tasty food, and healthy options to boot. Salad bar is excellent. Their soda fountain has cane-sugar-sweetened root beer, cola, and orange pop. We've been there 3 times and really, really like this place. read more

I just can't get enough of Jason's Deli! From the garden fresh salad bar to the ginormous loaded baked potatoes and of course the super friendly staff...I could munch on lunch everyday at Jason's Deli. Last by not least..who can complain about free ice cream when you wrap up your meal?? Not me, that's who! read more

Always good. Always fresh. We try to eat at Jason's at least once a week. They have alot of organic items and the sandwiches are killer. The salad bar is our usual go to. All you can eat with a wonderful array of greens, veges and housemade salads ( I always get the potatoe salad and tuna pasta salad. Never had bad service or a bad item. Super friendly staff and always very attentive. You gotta go!! read more

Great service! I cannot say enough about it! Top that off with s salad bar, FREE ice cream and good food and you've got a winning combination highly recommend this chain! read more

It's sad to think that this is called a Deli. This is one of the worst places (won't call it a deli) that I've ever eaten at! My God people, just go to the Jewel deli counter and ask them to make you any sandwich or go to Jimmie Johns! Either one would be a 100% better than this places processed meats and high prices! For a real deli, make the trip and visit Manny's Deli in Chicago! read more

I'm such a fan of this place! The service is wonderful. Paul brought our food to our table and was extremely personable and eager to please and fulfill any request. He even came over to check on us half way through our meal. You order at the counter and do not have a dedicated server such as in a sit down restaurant, so to have such great service goes above and beyond my normal expectations. I also love it because it's family friendly. The kids menu has good variety. And there is a complimentary self serve ice cream machine. We arrived about 12:40 on a busy Monday. They do get slammed at lunch, we didn't immediately find a table but the crowd soon began to clear out and we were able to sit down. The food came quickly despite their lunch rush. I'll come back here again and again!! read more

The muffaletta was first rate, and the bread they used was excellent. The seafood gumbo, however, was fishy and not in a good way. Decor is deli casual. The people working there seemed indifferent or even sullen. I went to order and the guy behind the cash register stood there silently until I asked for a menu. Then he again stood there staring at me while I struggled to open the menu since it seemed to be stuck together. So if you want decent sandwiches served by rather unhelpful staff who apparently wish they were elsewhere, this is your place. read more

Jason's Deli is one of those places you are thankful is nearby. I order from here a few times a month, and I have never had a bad experience. The food is incredibly fresh and delicious. When you order a salad the lettuce and greens are crisp and refreshing. The ingredients are all fresh and the salad dressings are delicious. The sandwiches are very creative too. So fresh and the bread always tastes like it was made that day. My family and I love everything about Jason's Deli, and I hope you support them. read more

This was a new place for me. I had never heard of it, although there are apparently a lot of them elsewhere. I came in because of the pastrami sandwich, and I was not disappointed! It was delicious. I also had the salad bar. Lots of choices, all good. A very nice and unusual assortment of crackers and flatbreads to go with it. A few good dessert items there as well, including these lovely, light tiny gingerbread-ish muffins. Yummo. And I have carrot cake to take home. Servers and manager were extra courteous and helpful. Really, just so nice. (George and Andre) I will be back! Thanks for a nice experience. read more

One of my friends works at a Jason's Deli in Florida, and to my surprise I found out that there was one in near me in Naperville. I went to Jason's Deli recently when she was visiting me. I had a sandwich, which was pretty filling by itself. I choose a side of fruit that came with this sweet cream sauce. The fact that you get free garlic toast, ginger muffins (which were my fave), corn muffins, and ice cream was a huge plus. All of these extras are included for FREE at the salad bar. I hope to go here again soon. read more

The day we stopped here, Jason's was accommodating a full bus of football players. We wound up eating outside, but I was impressed it was able to handle the additional load of business Jason's food quality may vary from location to location, but it is one of the better chains I've been to for this type of dining. In addition to the sandwiches, the pasta's and soups are good options. Feels like it lacks a bit of a soul, but beyond that it is close to what I'd expect from a chain. A worthy dining spot read more

What a yummy sammich! I heard good stuff about this place so I gave it a try today for lunch. I ordered the California Club, since I'm a big fan of these types of sandwiches whether they have chicken or turkey, avacado, or guacamole. This sandwich comes on a toasted croissant with turkey breast, bacon, swiss cheese, tomato (which I refrained from), sprouts, mayo, and guacamole. I had the sandwich with baked chips on the side. For less than $8 this sandwich did the trick...yummy & filling. I will be back. read more

When a place is right across the street from my work and its good food, you best believe this lady is coming here almost 90% of the time when I go out for lunch. It can get VERY busy here, so if you can muster a lunch time around 11 or possibly later around 1:30, be prepared to be gone for at least an hour. Or, if its nice outside , get your order to go (it is a separate line/entrance) and eat outside. We have done this plenty of times and we only took half hour for lunch. Food is always good and you HAVE to love free ice cream! Also, when you do not purchase the salad bar, you are at least able to access part of the salad bar. I believe its from the tiny muffins and on, so you can enjoy crackers, peppers, etc. Anything to spruce up your soup, salad, or sandwich. read more

Just one more reason I love this place. . . I stopped in to place a to go order. After taking my order, Megan mentioned that I was welcome to grab some water while I waited. No other worker there had ever made that suggestion. I thought it was a nice and thoughtful touch. Well done! read more

Had lunch from here today (08/19/09) and was really impressed with what I had. Had the New Yorker which was Corned Beef & Pastrami piled HIGH on rye bread with swiss cheese and choice of mustard or mayo. You get a bag of chips along with it. Drink is extra. Sandwich was over-stuffed with lunchmeats for roughly $7.49. Worth it and the meat quality was fantastic. Will definitely visit again. Work VERY close but can't believe I've gone almost a year without going there. read more

The good thing about Jason's Deli is that it has a rather large menu. The bad thing about Jason's Deli is that it has a rather large menu. Yes, the fact that they have lots of options is both a good and bad thing. For me, it means that I want to try a different item each time I go. My first two visits, my choices were home runs. The first time I made my own sandwich, the second time I chose to do the ranchero wrap - again, very good. The third time, I tried the turkey reuben and it was completely disgusting which left me wondering if maybe I should stick to one of the first two things I tried there. As people have mentioned- they have some soft serve ice cream in the back that you can help yourself to- which reminds me of a cruise we were on where they offered the same thing and my husband would see how big of a cone he could manage to make. :) read more

Jason's Deli has such fresh food, you actually feel healthier after eating here! I enjoy the California Club sandwich on a buttery croissant and I always get it with fresh fruit as my side. They also have a salad bar which I enjoy, I just can't enough of the California club! Bonus: free soft serve froyo! read more

I absolutely LOVE this place. A gem I found while placing orders for work and decided to take a chance.....one I have yet to regret. I love that I can place a catering order same day and receive it at the time. I also love that when you order online you can earn "deli points" (I think that's what they are), be aware they do expire after one year. Would recommend to people in the area and anyone who may be near a location. read more

Consistently good place for a sandwich. Decent value as well with good sides and free ice cream cones. Service is always good with friendly staff as well. read more

Jason's Deli is a cross between a Potbelly and a Sweet Tomatoes. 3 stars isn't quite enough but 4 stars is a bit too much. We tried it for the 1st time today and it was decent. We tried a BLT and Chicken Panini. Both were average and perhaps next time we will try something else and update the review to 4 stars. However, it is pricey for sandwiches and chips. We didn't try it but the salad bar looked good. We did indulge in the free soft serve ice cream at the end and, well, it was terrible. Left a bad taste. read more

The food is great . Service lacks customer acknowledgement . Over all nice lunch time experience.

Tracey M. has it right....this place is A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!! I've never heard of Jason's Deli before (guess it's a chain). The food ROCKED, very cool ambiance inside, and very helpful people. The prices are also very good for what you get. Basically, it's a full scale deli restaurant. They've got your sandwiches, salads, wraps, soups, desserts, etc etc. Create your own sandwiches from their huge selection of meats, cheeses and toppings. Or have one of their great options. There is a small all you can eat salad bar which has a lot of stuff (salad, pasta salads, bread), but not soups, regular pasta or some other stuff you might expect. It looked good though. I also had the broccoli cheese soup....MMMMM... My wife loved her sandwich and my california club sandwich was really good. I had a couple of the flavored teas and they were quite tasty. The meals also include free soft serve ice cream, which is an added bonus. It's pretty good stuff too, not your regular crappy fast food ice cream. The thing that surprised me a lil was the pricing for what you get. We got 2 sandwiches, chips, fresh fruit w/ dipping sauce (yum!), broccoli cheese soup, small salad, 2 drinks, and ice cream all for around $19-$21. That was LESS that we paid at Froots next door for 2 small wraps, 2 smoothies, and cup of chili. All to say, we'll be going back here a lot! Lots of variety, great food, and cool restaurant. If you're a Harvest Naperville person, this is pretty close to the church and also close to the LA Fitness on Freedom Dr near Naperville Rd. read more

My wife and I were in Naperville on our way to somewhere else. We arrived at our hotel late. I was not looking forward to driving somewhere to eat, in the dark, in a strange city, with snow falling. We asked the desk clerk at our hotel for recommendations and he suggested we have Jason's deliver a meal. What good advice. I had the reuben sandwich and a cup of French onion soup. My wife had a vege sandwich. We each had a chocolate chip cookie. Food was delivered quickly, still hot and for a reasonable extra charge. We were even able to have the charges added to our hotel bill. The reuben was the best I've ever eaten. Maybe Jason's will expand to California. I hope so. read more

I am so glad I discovered Jason's Deli. I saw it getting built and went shortly after. They have a great menu and everything is delicious. I used to go here all the time when my friend lived here, it was our spot. I miss it and don't go here as much because I feel it's weird to go without her. However, she was in town yesterday and while scarfing down my usual, I thought, "Why haven't I Yelped this place yet?!" I usually stick to what I like, which is the Ciabatta Garden with a side of steamed vegetables. It's extremely basic, but it's delicious. A reason why I chose that sandwich as my usual is because the first time I went there I was a vegetarian, I ordered this and fell in love. I always feel really good after I eat here. Probably because my meal is composed of whole grains and veggies, but I've tried some of their sides and have seen what my friends get here--everything looks delicious or is described deliciously in the menu. Let me tell you the hilarious part about my order; it's literally vegetables on bread and steamed veggies on the side. However, my food ALWAYS gets there at least 3 minutes after my friend's meal who orders something much more complex. It's not something I'm complaining about, I just think it's funny because that's the case each time. The cherry on top is the free soft serve that you help yourself to after the meal. You can ask for my opinion on Jason's, but don't dare ask me to make your ice cream cone. You can usually find my ice cream hanging all dilapidated over the side of the cone. They are starting to pop up all over the place, so definitely check it out if you're hungry and passing by one. They're able to please everyone. I have to tell you, at this location, they are extremely busy between 12-1:30. Generally, if I'm here with a friend, we wait. If I'm alone, I go some place else. Any other time and you're golden. That particular strip mall tends to bank on the lunch crowd, while the restaurants clean up during dinner. read more

I have to say, have not been too happy with Jason's as of late. I keep wanting to like it as a healthier alternative, but is expensive and the sandwiches hardly have anything on them anymore:(. It has happened SEVERAL times where I'm paying $7-8 a sandwich, and I get one small piece of lettuce and a small slice of tomato. The BLT's have just a couple of pieces of bacon. VERY disappointing. The other sandwiches are just as small. I keep trying thinking it was just a mistake, but this keeps happening. Sad and disappointing. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE! It's kinda like a panera with a LOT more choices! They give you free delicious soft serve ice cream with any order (even if you order just coffee). And I LOVE LOVE LOVE their salad bar! HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT! It's $9.95 but you get unlimited, and very healthy choices for your salad! And it's such a fresh salad bar! Their sandwiches are also pretty good as well. read more

I've only been to Jason's Deli twice, and just like my first experience, I wasn't impressed my second time around. First and foremost, I wasn't such a big fan of the set up from the entrance to where you order your food. A friend and I weren't sure where we were supposed to order initially, and even though some employees clearly saw us standing there, they didn't bother helping us for several minutes until we asked. (They were actually standing behind the to-go register joking around and didn't offer any assistance.) When we got to the general area food ordering area; another customer had to hand us a menu and show us where to order. (Thank you, random gentleman customer! :) I ordered a wrap and my friend got a sandwich of some sort. They were good, but nothing crazy special or extra delicious. The cafeteria-esque set up is ok if you like that sort of atmosphere, but it isn't my cup of tea in general. I wouldn't mind going back one of these days, but the free soft serve ice cream and freebies next to the salad bar aren't necessarily going to have me rush through the doors again anytime soon. read more

The manager, Tim, is amazing! I always feel so welcome when I come here. I come here a lot since I work nearby, and everyone always knows us when we come in! read more

My husband and I came in to eat at the salad bar. We brought in a gift card and went to the register to purchase 2 salad bar meals. Our gift card didn't work, the manager Tim stepped in and provided great customer service. I can't say how impressed I was with how he handled the situation and got our issue resolved. The food was fresh and of course love the free ice cream at the end of the meal, we will be back! read more

First of all don't let the word "Deli" throw you off, it's not your typical "deli". I mean doees your typical deli give you free ice cream? I just L O V E the ranchero wrap from this place! I'm not a wrap kind of person to begin with, but this wrap has got it GOIN ON. It's a chicken [chicken is marinated] wrap with pico de gallo, a couple sauces and jalapenos! The jalapenos add a little bit of a kick to it, it's not too hot, but just right! It comes with a side of chips and salsa. I use all the salsa for my chips and dip for my wrap. My other favorites are the pastas! They are all delicious! With the perfect amount of sauce, just perfect everything. The pasta is not soggy nor is it under cooked, it's just right. Even the mac n cheese, if you consider that pasta, is perfect! The desert is also delicious... my personal favorite is the turtle cheesecake...mmmm. There's different desert everytime I go. But I try not to forget to get my ice cream :P I am a big person on customer service and they have EXCELLENT customer service. Everyone says hello, they are very accomodating and make you feel welcome. The salad bar has a lot and they keep it very clean and neat. I feel comfortable grabbing food for my salad and not having to worry about if the person ahead of me contaminated some of the food. Some days the chicken seems to be too marinated. It's not soggy, nothing with the texture, but the taste of it seems that the chicken is marinated for a while. I mean it's still good, it takes a couple of bites to realize is. I believe it's the same chicken they use in some of their pasta dishes. I tend to realize it when I'm eating pieces of chicken, by itself, more so with the pasta dishes. So I avoid it by not getting the chicken or the chicken on the side. read more

I visited Jason's Deli a couple years back and tried out the pasta. I didn't care of it then. However, I decided to give this place another try over the weekend. I got the chicken panini, wife ordered a french onion soup and a salmon sandwich. Not only did they skimp on the cheese for the soup... the best part, but the soup wasn't all that good. Sandwiches weren't all that good either. With my wife's sandwich came some fresh fruit which was actually very fresh, and very good. The service was polite and courteous, and they do have a pretty big menu. Despite this, we won't be trying this place again. read more

Its a clean eater and can really load up at the super large salad bar! Full of fresh ingredients!! The salad bar is probably what sets Jason's Deli apart from most....it filled w/ various types of lettuce, veggie toppings, potato, egg, tuna, pasta, mix of salad, nuts and different types of berries! The half/half deal is great! The special side salad w/ half sandwich is around $9.00 Did I mention you get UNLIMITED FREE ICE CREAM!!! (I have to admit probably the only reason why we come here lol) read more

Great alternative for Sweet Tomatoes Souplantation which pulled out of Chicago. Great salads. Clean restaurant.

Sandwiches, soup, a huge salad bar, and free soft-serve ice cream. That's all you really NEED to know about Jason's Deli. I will add that this place gets super busy during lunch time (11:30-12:30). If you're in a rush to get back to work, I'd recommend placing an order online so you can go right to the take-out counter. Or just get here earlier/later. My mom and I arrived around 11:30 and the line to the register was already almost backed up to the door. This wasn't a problem for us since we wanted to look at the menu anyway, and the line did move fairly quick. My mom's eyes widened when I told her about the free ice cream, and I could tell she was trying to re-evaluate what to order now that I'd informed her. I had the Cuban sandwich and a cup of the tortilla soup. The Cuban sandwich wasn't very good. I ate it, but I wouldn't order it again. It tasted like it was missing the pork or ham, and the cheese wasn't melted as it should be in a pressed/Panini sandwich. I really liked the tortilla soup though even though it had a spicy kick that really kicked me in the throat. My mom had the new cranberry turkey sandwich (like a twist on Thanksgiving). It looked better than my Cuban, and she said she really liked it. The menu here is huge, so I will definitely be back for a (different) sandwich or the salad bar. And who doesn't like free ice cream? read more

I used to eat here very often when I worked across the street and I miss this place! It's an excellent lunch spot. They do get TOTALLY SLAMMED at lunch but they know this and try to happily and very efficiently/quickly get you through. Honestly, parking is the bigger struggle then the line and wait. All the food items are really fresh and tasty. The salad bar is really good. My husband is obsessed with the reuben. The chicken pot pie soup, while not diet friendly, is really awesome on a cold day. They have lots of low cal options as well as your, "get your grub on," sandwiches. A lunch time winner. Don't forget your free swirl! read more

This is my new favorite lunch spot. Even when it gets busy, it doesn't feel overly crowded. The salad bar is perfect for lunch. Besides the usual stuff, the salad bar has hard boiled eggs, real crumble bacon, artichoke, and hummus. They'll bring you fresh plates if you want to go up to the salad bar multiple times. And be sure you don't forget about the ice cream too! read more

I want to say that I would only give this place 4 stars because of the taste and service, but darnit when I need something vegetarian organic, I can't just pop in somewhere and get it. A salad at McDonald's? Don't think so! I ordered the Veggaletta and French Onion Soup today, and it hit the spot. Give it a try. Also: Yay for the soft serve ice cream, reminds me of what grandma used to make back on the Amish farm! read more
