Jason's Deli- Knoxville, TN

Barbecue Brisket with Chips

          Jason's Deli is an establishment that I have been told about by several people. Would it live up to the hype? I walked in not knowing what to expect. After some waiting, one of the staff came to take my order. I decided to go with a half barbecue brisket sandwich with chips and one trip to their famous salad bar (not pictured). The atmosphere was laid back. I felt very comfortable there. I did feel slightly robbed as one small television hovered near the salad bar. It was far off in the distance. I recommend more televisions or none at all. 

​

          I went to the salad bar and since it was one trip only, I piled up all the fixings I could. The salad bar seemed to be fresh and had a good variety of toppings. Everything on the salad was cold and crisp. It was a really good salad.
             I received my sandwich and chips and the aroma from the barbecue had my mouth watering. At first bite I could tell this sandwich might break into my top five sandwiches of all time. The meat was tender and with a layer of cheese, this sandwich had everything I expected. However the best part of this trip was yet to come!
             Could it be? Did I read that right? Yes! Free ice cream. Jason's Deli gives free soft serve ice cream to everyone. It was a very exciting and pleasant surprise. This meal seemed to have everything. For a good salad, a great sandwich, and a surprising desert, I give this establishment a generous 4.2 out of 5.
