Slimmed down menu features what have been the best items

Went to Jack's deli this morning for breakfast with my teenage daughter. It was not really busy : Waitress kept complaining about how sick of Christmas she was and that she didn't like anything this morning or anybody !! Food and coffee were lukewarm when delivered. Upon leaving- my daughter paid check at cashier's station ( we were the only two people in the area and were talking to each other ) while I ordered some bagels at the deli counter. I went to pay for the bagels and the cashier aksed where my check was - when she saw I had a box of leftovers - to which I replied " My daughter just paid you !! ", No apology just an "OH". If she hadn't been so busy chatting to other employees, she might have noticed. The bus boy returned the newspaper, we had borrowed to read , to me at the cahier's desk and said " That was yours - you should have returned it to the cashier". I got reprimanded for reading a paper that was left at the booth we sat in !! Oh , yes and I ordered soup and the gentleman at the deli counter had to tell the same rude waitress twice to get the soup , because she was to lazy to go in the kitchen !! I will not be back- there are plenty of other breakfast places with better & warmer food and friendlier service , for a more reasonable price ! For what one pays in there for breakfast ( $7 to $8.00 for a full breakfast )- it would be nice if the staff were cordial or at least kept their mouths shut and if the food could at least be hot !! They do have good chicken soup-- but only take-out for me , from now on !!!

very good deli

Jack's has been around for a long time. They have great, fresh sandwiches. My favorites are the corned beef, turkey and roast beef. It's also a nice place to stop for a cheap breakfast.

When I visited the Cleveland Clinic, a noted surgeon recommended Jack's Deli & Restaurant as having the best corned beef in the area. The Ruben sandwich I ordered was outstanding: lean corned beef, crisp, toasty bread. The service was friendly and quite prompt. Jack's is located in University Heights, on the east side of Cleveland.
