My wife wanted something light for lunch so I suggested we try the chicken salad factory in Donna. The staff Ed helpful and friendly I ordered the scoop salad which comes with 2 scoops of your choice of chicken salad choice of spinach, or greens one mix of both and saltines or jalapeño cornbread muffins I selected the signature factory chicken salad and creamy cilantro avocado chicken salad with a mixture of both greens and spinach along with some saltines they scoops were quite small just a little bigger than a melon scooper and was given just. Full scoop of each the signature factory tasted like an average chicken salad nothing special while the creamy cilantro avocado had more avocado and bland chicken taste to it than anything i couldn't taste any cilantro and it needs to be seasoned my wife ordered a famous Waldorf chicken salad sandwich on wheat bread but I don't know how that ended up for her as we picked up and I brought mine home and she had hers at work. Not sure if I would return because the portions are kind of a Let down compared to other similar restaurants in the area and the food was not as flavorful Ias I expected it to be.

I ended up waiting over 40 minutes for my food. Several people who arrived after me received their orders first, and two customers who came in after me were actually allowed to dine in, which was confusing since I was told that wasn't an option. When I asked about my order, I was told it would be a few more minutes,but by that point the wait and the inconsistency were really frustrating. I don't mind waiting when it's busy, but the lack of communication and the different rules for different customers made the experience very disappointing.

Do I even need to explain about the excellence that is Jason's Deli........I guess I have to since Yelp is making me, or else it's gonna place this review as a "tip" instead. In short, if I had to choose a restaurant to eat for the rest of my life it would be Jason's without a doubt. That's high praise considering that Chick-Fil-A is my main go to. read more

They had all the typical salad toppings and dressings, along with a few less common ones. They had good drink options too. Carbonated drinks and different types of lemonades.

I also liked how the place looked so bright and clean. When I walked in, I told one of the employees that it was my first time. They quickly gave me a rundown of what to do.

The place is very busy, but despite that the wait was only 10 minutes at 10:00 am on a Saturday. The hostess and our server were both very friendly. The place advertises that it specializes in home cooked comfort foods so we figured we'd have to see how their biscuits and gravy were. We ordered a 1/2 order and it came with a biscuit split in half and covered with gravy and sausage. The flavor was perfect - it definitely lived up to 'home cooked comfort food'. I ordered an omelette - three cheeses, sausage, bacon and ham with onions, cilantro and jalapeños - which came with refried (black) beans. The omelette was very good - flavorful and fresh. They actually use slices of cheese inside and on top - I've never had an omelette prepared that way but it was very good. When I first tasted the salsa I was not a fan - it was warm and had a different flavor - then I put it on the omelette and - great pairing and great flavor combo. The refried black beans were sadly underwhelming - no real flavor. I know they were homemade but they were missing the flavor that usually comes with refried beans (black or pinto) My wife had the quiche which had onions, peppers, sausage, mushrooms and cheese. It was very good. Even the crust was good. She ordered the breakfast potatoes as the side. The flavor of the potatoes was excellent. Half of them were lightly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside which were great; the other half were overcooked and became potato chips - good flavor but not a breakfast potato. We will definitely come back to try their lunch food and dessert (we were too full today). They have a good variety of breakfast, lunch and dinner items on the menu so there is something for everyone. We were glad we stopped in.

The staff are attentive and take great care of you. Food comes out promptly and in my 3 visits, precisely as ordered. I don't believe I've ever felt more welcomed into a restaurant than here. Seriously this is what other restaurants should strive to deliver. Fantastic food, great environment to eat in and welcoming staff. Breakfast: both the works omelet and migas were great (especially with the added salsa). 1000% get the fruit. The dip they provide is of similar idea to that which Jason's deli gives. With the primary difference that this one makes Jason's seem entirely inadequate. Lunch: The chicken Parmesan is an excellent choice, I got pasta instead of potatoes. It was a very healthy portion and filled me up. Even the veggies it comes with are properly seasoned and cooked. The tea is wonderful, they do offer flavored teas but I did not try that. TLDR: great establishment, give them a try.
