Steak and Cheese Sandwich with Pasta Salad
Danielle H.

Jams has been around longer than I've been alive and they are still thriving! The deli has a cute retro vibe to it and the staff are always friendly. My go to is the steak and cheese and on this trip I got it with pasta salad. My boyfriend was with me and ordered the buffalo chickam sandwich with hot chips. It's a great spot for lunch and everything I've tried has been yummy!

Two dogs all the way with hot chips
Erik S.

This is one of those few oddball places that has been around Greensboro longer than I have, but yet, I had somehow never stopped in until recently. It wasn't our original destination, the place we tried to go was not open on Mondays, but Jam's was right there and I said let's give it a shot. While it seems from other reviews they may have some consistency issues, our visit was great! I was in the mood for hot dogs, and not having any idea how theirs were, I went for a pair all the way with hot chips. The price was very reasonable, and when the basket came out, it was stuffed with two loaded dogs and overflowing with crispy chips. Good sign for sure. The hot dogs themselves were a couple of the most plump franks I have seen, and they had a nice flavor to them. The chili was meaty, maybe too much so for many, but I felt it balanced really well with the slaw, onions, and mustard. The only way these could have been better would be a buttered and grilled bun, overall, I was quite happy. My chips were hot and crispy top to bottom, and the ranch was great. Hard for me to complain at all. The inside of this place is definitely retro. Clean just dated, but honestly, it's totally fine with the vibe they are going for, and I'm sure a renovation would require raising prices. I say keep it how it is, and continue to provide solid food. I'll be curious to see how it is going forward, but on a first visit, I was very happy and will return!

This local family sandwich shop is a Greensboro staple! Great place to eat lunch, get takeout, meet up with friends! Sit and eat with the locals. The daily specials are always delicious! Fresh meats, sliced as you order. Service is friendly and welcoming. Counter ordering.

Grilled Chicken Pita Sandwich with Curly Fries
Mary W.

I love Jam's! It's such a staple in Greensboro and the food is consistently delicious. They have SO many options, something for everyone! I've never had a bad meal here. It's counter style ordering and then they call your name to pick up: easy, fast and the food is always fresh and hot. Prices are pretty good, of course they have risen with the rise of everything else, but still reasonable and good portions. The atmosphere has remained the same for years with vintage decor and tables. I miss the Martinsville Road location as it was much closer to my house, but this one is worth the special trip! I stopped in on a Saturday around lunch. It was pretty dead in there which makes me nervous, I hope it doesn't close down! Maybe it was the weather or due to college football. I imagine weekdays are busier. I had the Italian Sub, hot, with pasta salad. Very good! Perfect sandwich. My mom ordered the Grilled Chicken Pita, my usual order. It's always fresh and chock full of perfectly seasoned chicken/veggies. Their curly fries are also the best in town. Jam's is on rotation in my house and you should add it to your list, too!

Pimento cheese BLT
Clay C.

Jams has been around for a long time. It's always been delicious. I was with a group of 9 people and our food was ready in about ten minutes. Service is great and it's always clean there. I had a pimento cheese BLT which was very good. The curly fries were just okay- they used to be more curly like Arby's curly fries and I loved those. Not sure what happened.

Traffic jam on a hoagie.
Chris K.

We ate here for the first time 5 years and I've been singing it praises ever since. We finally got a chance to return this past weekend, as we don't live in the area. We were really looking forward to having another great meal, but unfortunately that wasn't the case. My spouse had a club sandwich that was basically tasteless. How is that even possible? I had the Traffic Jam which is rare roast beef, turkey breast, swiss, lettuce, tomato and russian dressing that I choose to get on a hoagie roll instead of a brioche roll. I didn't realize it would be served warm or would have gotten something else or told them not to heat it up. It didn't have a lot of flavor either. I swear there was nothing wrong with either of our taste buds. In fact, we both got the potato salad and neither of us liked it. It seemed to have a strange flavor about it that tasted like lime juice to me. I'm not opposed to trying something different, but for me that as a flavoring didn't work. I missed the album rock that they played last time in lieu of easy listening of the 50-early 60's, but oh well, guess everything has changed here except the decor.

Chicken Salad Sandwich  Potato Salad
Renee S.

It's been years since I ate here. It was delicious back then. I was looking forward to eating another good meal but I was sadly disappointed. I ordered the chicken salad sandwich with a side of potato salad. The chicken tasted rubbery like it came from a package stating it was already pre-cooked. The potato salad...well I can't hardly describe it except it had a very sour taste and it tasted nothing like any potato salad I've ever had. I did not eat it all and I do not like to waste food. The employees were very nice and attentive and the restaurant was clean and spacious. Just wished the food tasted as good as the place looked.

the interior of a restaurant

I wasn't super excited to revisit Jams but a friend wanted to meet for lunch so I said yes. The interior has been spruced up and appeared cleaner and brighter than the last time I visited. Order at the counter and the guy at said counter calls your name when your food is ready. He called our names quite quickly and with a funny accent on Janice and Karen, cute! Still love the fried chicken and grilled ham sandwich which is one of their most popular items, the CHICKAM. The hot chips with homemade ranch are always a favorite too. My friend got a huge chefs salad and loved it. Staff was so friendly and the food was great on this visit. Back on my radar for lunch spots!

My husband has been going to this location for 30 years, which is almost as long as they've been open! I've only been a handful of times but I really love it! It isn't much to look at from the outside, but keep going, they have a Health Score of 97. We were immediately greeted with shouts of welcome and smiles. Rodney ordered his favorite, The Sicilian Jam with extra pepperoni and fries. I ordered my go to, steak and cheese with fries. The food was made to order and was steaming hot! The french fries were super crispy and I ate half of them before I started the sandwich. The bread was perfectly grilled which means it had some crunch on the inside but a nice steamy soft exterior, It had plenty of well seasoned steak with chopped onions, enough provolone to give it a nice pull and it had great flavor! The tomato was a nice deep red, the iceberg was shredded and very fresh and crunchy. I'm a big believer in shredded iceberg, I think it pushes a great sandwich into fantastic territory. I didn't need to add salt, pepper or extra mayo. It was perfect and I ate every bite, including the bits that fell out. The Sicilian Jam has baked ham, grilled pepperoni, provolone, house oil and vinegar, lettuce, tomato and mayo and Rodney requested extra pepperoni. I tasted his sandwich and the fact that they grill the meats first, really, really amps up the flavor! He ate every bite too and started eyeballing my fries but he knows better than to reach without warning. LOL. The music is a great variety of 50's and 60's so you can't help but dance in place while you eat. It is self service but that's ok with me and the food was so good we went back to the counter to sing their praises and to add to the tip jar. On our way out, I saw a woman eating a cheeseburger. She was about 3 bites in and it must've been good because she kept holding it while she ate some fries. I'll be getting that next time. On Tuesday, May 3rd, 2022 they are donating part of their proceeds to the Greensboro Urban Ministry's support of the Potter's House. There are a lot of participating restaurants, so please check out my photos for more information.

It's been a while since I've been to Jay's Daily, mainly because every time I head that way, I…read moresomehow get distracted (usually by Chick-fil-A ). But I finally made it back--and I'm glad I did. Service was great. Our server was attentive, intentional, and checked on us just the right amount without being overbearing. It was also nice to sit somewhere that wasn't overly crowded--made the whole experience more relaxed. The food is simple, but good--and the prices are very reasonable, which I always appreciate. I switched it up this time and tried the burger instead of my usual Italian club (which my fiancé ordered), and it did not disappoint. The burger was solid and the fries were really good. One small thing--I remember the bread being toasted the first time I came, and it didn't seem like it was this time. Not a big deal, but something I'll probably double-check on my next visit. Overall, Jay's Daily is a dependable spot for a quick, easy lunch. Definitely one of those places you can count on when you just want something good without the fuss. I'll be back again soon (hopefully without getting distracted this time ).

Once again, I ate at Jay's but today I did not have the chili cheese dog. I had the ham and club…read moresandwich with fries and it was delicious. Didn't need the fries, but I wanted the fries and they were good. The service is always excellent there and the ambience is like a diner type vibe. It's not too bad and I always sit at the counter and usually somebody starts up a conversation and I enjoy going there for lunch. I took some pictures of the menu and my sandwich. I didn't forget this time so try it sometime it's really good. That ham club is delicious.

Stopped in for lunch. Ordered the salad bar. Went up and got my plate and went through the line…read more All the lettuce was frozen so I opted for spinach. Added my toppings and dressing and sat down to eat. Very pleased with my meal and the chocolate mousse was excellent. Went for round two and was dismayed to see they had not properly cleaned the tray and had left food particles on it. Not a huge deal because I was putting my food on the plates, but it's the little things. No complaints on food for round 2. Got more mousse and was able to get lettuce this time. An employee had been working on stocking the salad bar while I ate my first plate and continued during my second. While I ate my second serving someone I assume may have been a manager of sorts came out and was giving the employee stocking feedback. I then watched the manager start filling containers by ADDING THE REFILL ON TOP - no rotating, no changing containers, just adding on top. Not acceptable. Seating is and always has been cramped in here. I had to weave around tables to get to my seat. We also saw someone have their sunglasses knocked off their head by someone exiting to the patio because their table was that close to the door. The gentleman picking up trays and plates was smiling and quick. It was nice to see!

Predictable and ok food. Since I don't eat meat, sometimes finding a good option is a little…read morechallenging. However, the salad bar is reliably a good idea (for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike) when dining in. Also, they do baked potatoes! At my last visit, I got grilled cheese and tomoto soup. The rye bread was delicious and so pretty with its swirling rye marbling. However, there wasn't nearly enough cheese in the sandwich. Also, the tomato basil soups tasted like mass produced soup from a bag (think Panera). I was grateful to have an easy veg option, but it was just alright. The space was big and had a lot of tables. Also, there were a couple of employees who were bussing tables quickly, which was awesome. To me, this is a spot to eat in a pinch and not somewhere to sit and enjoy a meal. Overall, not great and not terrible. So three stars is where I'm landing in my review.

I love this place! It's such a cute, cozy, neighborhood vibe restaurant that consistently delivers…read more All of the servers are cool and do a good job. There is both indoor and outdoor seating (although space is definitely limited) & a small bar with bar stools. There are a few TVs that always have sports --- right up my alley! I love coming here on Saturdays during cold weather for Chicken 'n Dumplings. Their weekend mimosas are a great deal (it might just be Sundays, but I think it's Saturdays, too). Their sweet tea is always on point. They have delicious sandwiches and the side salad with homemade honey mustard dressing is my favorite side!! The tater tots are good. Pasta salad isn't super flavorful but, still good, especially if you're entree needs a side that takes a back seat. You really can't go wrong. Parking is limited so you might have to find street parking and walk a bit. I hear Sunday brunch is amazing! That's next on my list to try.

Today I stopped in for a to go order, but next time I plan on enjoying the patio with my pup Ziggy and try one of their burgers. I ordered the Madison Avenue which is a croissant smeared with honey walnut cream cheese, smoked turkey, and granny smith apples. My side was slaw and I also ordered fries with a side of ranch. Upon walking in the place appeared clean, the customer service, not the best. But maybe someone was having a bad day, I get it. I'm so glad I did check my bag before I left because they did not give me ranch or plasticware, man I would have missed out on some amazing ranch. The young man gave me three ranches which I'm so disappointed I only grabbed one. Unfortunately I didn't get the best pictures but the food tasted great. The fries were thick cut (probably frozen) and let me tell you, I would just come back for the ranch! They have my favorite restaurant ranch. The slaw was really tasty - good ole southern sweet mayonnaise slaw, not too vinegary. The sandwich, not bad, good combo of toppings, they paired well together. I' ll be back. Anyone want to go for a patio lunch? Ciao for now
