Jay's Deli has been a Greensboro staple since before the 1950's. We started in the 600 block of North Elm Street. Then in 1956 Jay's Deli opened a second location in the then-new Friendly Shopping Center, and we moved to our current location in Friendly Shopping Center in 1997. We are one of the oldest tenants in Friendly Center.

The Newsome Family has owned and operated Jay's since 1988. We pride ourselves on being fresh, delicious, and affordable. We get our bread from a local baker 5 days a week, our produced delivered from a local company 6 days a week, our burgers are ground fresh here in Greensboro. If you can't tell we try and keep things local.

Ordered delivery through grubhub, got the Reuben, a ceaser salad, and scoop of chicken salad. the sandwich was delicious; Reubens were one of my favorite sandwiches growing up so they always bring back nostalgia and this one didn't disappoint. the chicken salad i think is made with rotisserie chicken, and it's delicious. the ceaser dressing on my salad was very good, more tangy and runny than you'd typically find but that's how i like it. it took maybe 20-30 minutes for my order to be picked up by my gruhhub driver. came hot, my fries were in the same box as my sandwich but they weren't soggy.

Jay's Deli is great everytime I go! I always love my server no matter who I get and I've never had a problem with my food! The chicken salad is amazing on a croissant

Finally a place where I got exactly what and how I ordered my meal. Made me happy. Understaffed and took a little longer to get my food but that was posted before I sat down. Great place.

The French Dip was very good and the chips were perfect, not too floppy but not too done. The pictures of the old Friendly Center are cool.

This was my first time trying Jays Deli and the only thing that was good about it was the service and the fries. The burger was nasty and had no flavor that I ended up throwing away. All I could smell was burnt and nothing of the burger. It was disgusting. The shake was nasty as well. I know they use ice cream but all I could taste was the chocolate put together all at once it was no flavor to it whatsoever. Definitely would avoid this place wasnt worth the 16 dollars for it

I love Jay’s food but they NEVER get my order right. They always forget ranch with hot chips. They never put sauce in that you request. One time i got a ceasar wrap that had bbq chicken in it. The list really just goes on and on.

Love love love! So I was visiting my best friend , I’m from Wilmington, and she told me we had to visit Jays Deli. She said she had been coming here since she was baby and that it was a tradition to always eat here while at Friendly.
And now I know why! The food was delicious! The customer service was 10/10. It even snowed while we were waiting for our food and it was an all around great trip and food!
Oh and their bathrooms are super clean!
