You'd never guess busy Fowler Avenue and all those shiny new businesses are just steps away. This is free-spirited, relaxing and zen. You can study here, chill-out and reset. It's colorful and very sunny, but it would also be the snuggliest place to sit while it's raining and just sip away and read. There are so many drink and food options here. I had the pistachio matcha with strawberry cold foam and a spinach/feta pastry. Both were good choices. You can order at the register or from a QR code and they'll call you to come get it. It's so casual and laid back. This adorable hangout would melt away any work frazzles I could possible walk in with. I love the low ceilings and the vintage hardwood floors and the slouchy couch and the eastern light streaming in the front window of this older, repurposed home. There's original artwork everywhere, including the ceiling (some of it's for sale). There's also a rack of clothing items, jewelry, scrunchies and other items for sale. I love the eclectic vibe-and the guitar propped up by the front window. Phoebe could definitely sing "Smelly Cat" here. Heck, they're so welcoming here, Ross could probably set up his keyboard and share "the sound." They DO have live music here-and a side patio. There's some parking up front and extra parking in back. And the service is friendly. I'm so glad I found this spot. I'll be back to try the apple fritter croissant and soak up more relaxation. Happy days from Felicitous!

I'm from miami I'm visiting the parks as a childless gold season holder; therefore I plan to visit a lot. This is my second visit at Jason's Deli and I must say it is an absolute 10/10 experience even this second time around. Sharra was absolutely 100% attentive and helpful. Not only are the sandwiches ( I haven't yet tried anything else) but the customer service is absolutely 100% roo tier. When my order was a bit complicated ( due to my 4 hour drive back to miami) Sharra made sure to replay my demands to the chef who had no problem accommodating me. I did not get his name but it was the young man on Shara's shift with the dread locks, medium build about 23 years of Age looking. Nonetheless, I want to say thank you Jason's for always being so extra welcoming and attentive. I do want to say that the first visit was with a causacian woman. With the short court who seemed to be the manager. She wasn't as talkative or welcoming. However. I would just count her out and still say my experience at Jason's is a 10/10. Especially this visit!! Thank you Sharra. I will for sure be back in 2 weeks! xoxo SN: if you're thinking about going to Jason's;PLEASE DO!!! 10000000/10

My friends wanted salad, so we stopped by here on a Sunday afternoon around 1:00 pm. The place was…read moremobbed, and only had one person taking orders at the register, so the line was from the counter to the door. Finally a manager-looking person opened a second register, and it went quicker from there. We snagged a booth, put our order number on the table, and headed to the salad bar. The salad bar had a nice variety of items, and was well stocked. Because I ordered the "Manager's Special", I got a side salad plate to go with my half a Reuben sandwich, but that was plenty of salad. The half of a sandwich arrived quickly, and was really good. Things I did not love about Jason's: too long to order, the place was incredibly LOUD, with screaming children and crying babies as far as the ear could hear, the potato chips that came with my sandwich were all broken into tiny pieces, the ice cream in the machine was a melty blob, and the muffins that looked like chocolate were actually gingerbread, and terrible, so don't be fooled. If I go back, it won't be on a weekend.

This is the avocado toast Jason's deli on Fowler sells. And the store manager says this is the correct amount.

Getting all of that food for less than $30 definitely made this one even better. We left full, happy, and already talking about what we want to try when we come back. And trust me... I CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK! There are way too many things I still need to try, especially some more of those wings! Another food adventure for the books.

Well it's my favorite restaurant of course! It's been here since 1984 I've been eating here since about 1990. They have great Cubans and an awesome selection of soft drinks. Always see a bunch of deputies eating here. Sell zapp chips which are awesome. Favorite subs a tossup between the Italian one and the steak and cheese. read more

Immediately as I walked through the door, I was greeted by a lovely young man behind the counter. He asked me if I have been here before and I told him it was my first visit. He took the time to go over the menu and explain in detail what they offer and some of their latest creations. It was a wonderful start to my first visit. After his recommendations I decided on the classic Cuban sandwich and the beef and cheese empanada. Hands down one of the top 10 Cuban sandwiches I've had in quite some time. Especially in the new Tampa area. The Cuban sandwich was absolutely delicious. Pressed perfectly with amazing quality ingredients inside. The beef and cheese empanada was equally delicious. If you are in the area and looking for authentic Cuban food, done, right I highly recommend giving them a visit. I will definitely be back and this will be a regular staple for me. Looking forward to trying many of their other dishes. Now that I know I have a solid Cuban sandwich place in my neighborhood!

Mrs. E. thinks the place pricey even if the portions are very generous. I disagree and say it's typical South Florida pricing. It's possibly the busiest take out I've ever seen.

I don't want to discourage anyone from coming here, but I will say that it seems as though there may be an issue temporarily in this location once again. Everyone who works there is super nice and super helpful. I just think they have growing pains as they have had a very large number of lunch patrons probably far beyond what they expected!
