I just discovered that this is a franchise situation as I had thought it a more local operation. I am more impressed knowing that. When your goal is a deli you are one of two things

1. A yuppie or cubicle worker looking for a handy light lunch that will not grease you up too badly for the rest of the day. A fresh somewhat healthy lunch to not weight you down.

Or

2. A meat loving Dagwood looking for a huge stacked sandwhich on bread that you just dont keep in your house, maybe a nice thick salad complete with eggs and ham on the side. Either of these people will be very pleased with Jasons Deli on David Cox.

This place has a huge menu of all basically the same base ingredients delivered on tons of good soft bread.

The choices like wraps and salads will make the “type 1 working folks” very happy with the light healthy lunch they find here. If you are buying M-F here you might feel some pain from the higher end deli prices you find here.

Expect you lunch to be 8$ and not the that you might hope for in a perfect world.” And for anyone not agreeing with these quoted prices, those people always quote the price of a 6? sandwich and a small coke.

NOBODY I respect wants a 6″ sub , so that doesnt apply here.

The prices are high-ish, but completely worht it since the very nice location requires higher rent I assume. For this reason i forgive them, and happily drop $9 for lunch to go.

Fresh salad bar, friendly staff in both english y espanol makes yet another nice friendly touch.

Now for you type 2 “starving people”
When you see the stacked sandwiches come out you will be in awe. The portions are huge, and the Rueben is so good. Basically a deli only has about two responsibilities with such simple food…
1. make it big and fresh
2. Be friendly and clean beyond this there really is no science to a Dagwood.

Jasons Deli on David Cox Rd succeeds on both of these facts, and scores bonus points for such huge portions and an excellent upscale clean sit down place.

If you are looking for a sit down lunch that is perfect for your girlfriend, boss, soccer team, mother, uncle Herb….whomever. Jason Deli hits on all aspects of what a deli should be, and provides a place you can sit and sip coffee after a monster Pastrami on rye. A nice yuppie clean place with huge sandwiches. 4/5 stars

Restaurant Review For Bob Evans WT Harris
So the mission for this trip in Charlotte NC was a great location for breafast. Too bad the mission went nowhere on this day. I would also like to point out this review was a re-entry to our website as our visits were back in December of 05. Bob Evans Farms Restaurant in Area 1 Charlotte on Statesville Rd So I really tried to like this place. This Bob Evans is on WT Harris and is pretty new still. I have been long looking for the right place to have breakfast at off hours. I think that is a pursuit of many a person, ecspecially one that lives odd hours as we do. There is “nothing more satisfying than a waitress named Flo, good coffee, and over easy eggs” to quote my brother loosely. I have been a fan of clean places like Perkins with great breakfast choices so going in I was hoping this Bob Evans near my home was it. The restaurant is very clean, amazingly well decorated and lit. The staff was very friendly on both visits, when they were not dropping the ball, and the prices were fair. Now for the other shoe dropping. They appear to have some staffing issues happening, and my two visits have been a month apart. the first visit had the following chain of amazing events take place. Coffee cup fell empty, wrong meal delivered to the table, wrong amount charged for wrong meal, no silverware at start of meal, wrong price charged for a “take home” bread we ordered. and finally the waitress threw our “to-go” container out while we were paying. Final bill (take home was about ). The waitress was new and already overworked, and as hard as we wanted to like this place it had such poor service this day. Our second visit was 2 stars for other reasons all together. The time we returned we got one breakfast and one meal. The meal was salmon and was cold and underdone, and the eggs were cold as well which is basically ruining them completely. The service was again friendly but lacking experience apparently. I think this trip and the poor review is just a matter of bad coicidence, as this seems like a really bright and clean location for a meal at first glance.
