Jam's Deli - Greensboro

For fast service and good deli foods, go to Jam's. It's an average deli with a very large selection on the menu. It's a walk-up order, take food and sit or leave place. They have few requests for gluten free options, therefore don't have GF bread. It's conveniently located near Quaker Village center.

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.

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!

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.
