We have been on a mission since the early 1980’s to make our menu healthier and in the last few quarters, we started our attack on sodium. As of Spring 2009, we lowered the sodium in several (10) of our menu items by an average of 28% and with the introduction of our new Kid’s Menu in April we lowered the sodium there by 21%.
At Jason’s we believe in balance, moderation and choices. With no artificial trans fats, no MSG and no HFCS in our food, we are providing our guests with options to make healthier choices for themselves and their families.
In addition, our Salad Bar offers a wide variety of fresh and organic fruits and vegetables – all naturally low in sodium.

Our Review
Awesome deli-fresh sandwiches and salad bar. Best of all... MSG and other chemicals have NO home here! Great place to eat. We have enjoyed Jason's many times and have always had great food and excellent service. Wow, they really do the business. That's what comes of taking care of your diners by serving great food at reasonable prices.
Most recently Ron went to Jason's for his favorite sandwich, a Ruben. His only criticism would be too much corned beef....should eaten only half and taken the other half home but it was so good that he ate the whole sandwich. Can't wait to try the giant hot dogs that were being served with regularity.
Their menu salads are always fresh and creative and you can also make your own salad at their famous salad bar as we have several times. Jason's Deli is one of the healthiest places to eat in Amarillo and they even give the nutritional information for many items. Here are a few examples:
Turkey Reuben98% fat free oven roasted turkey breast, sauerkraut,swiss, organic stone ground mustard, grilled on rye.514 calories, 13 g. total fat, 6 g. saturated fat,2626 mg. sodium
Club Lite smoked turkey breast, low fat ham, lettuce,tomato, swiss and low fat honey mustard on toasted whole grain wheat. 514 calories, 16 g. total fat, 6 g. saturated
Wheather you are on a strict diet or really want to pig out on giant portions of your favorite, Jason's Deli is quite possibly the best place to go in the Amarillo area. Out of town visitors should certainly pay them a visit.
