January 16, 2019: Good Bye And Farewell to Jacobson's. SO, "Another One Bites The Dust" ! Let's hope they make a comeback like Brennan's did . I guess I'll be eating "Dawn's Potato Salad" until then. Really sad. WAKE UP MADISON ! If you don't support these great local businesses, you will end up with the same kind of "Quality Choices" for fine foods as Cities like Rockford.

If you want the silkiest, most tender rib sandwich steaks, best local cheese, you come to Jacobson meats.

Brats were expensive and disappointing..... over 10 dollars for 6 brats that tasted like mushy unflavored johnsonvilles.. I miss Jims meats...... they were a dollar a piece and sooooo much better..!! I used to live near here.. I thought I liked the brats back then.. maybe they changed, maybe I just liked them back then.. not sure

Staff is friendly and helpful. Best potato salad anywhere!
Hands down.......NO other meat market comes close to the quality, variety, "2nd to none taste" of their products. SUPERB potato salad, fabulous 7 layer salad, thick and juicy steaks and chops. Alot of Jacobson's food was brought to many of our family annual picnics.

Stopped in to pick up a side from the deli for lunch. Ordered a half pound of 8 layer salad for at total price of $2.10. I went to the counter to pay, as I pulled my credit card out the employee saw I had singles in my money clip. He stated "it's $2.10 but it's gotta be cash." I should have left and let him keep the product by I ended up paying by cash. I realize it's a business right to require a minimum amount for a credit card transaction, however I did not see any signs indicating this nor did the staff member say there was a minimum amount required. It also appears he did not collect sales tax as the total amount was $2.10, and that is what he charged me. Maybe the state should look into their business practices. Will not go back.

I went to Jacobson's for years to get standing rib roast for Christmas dinner. It was always fabulous. Last year, I picked up the roast, prepared as usual, and it was dreadful. Full of gristle, didn't taste good, etc. My guests struggled to pretend it was good and tried to keep cutting it. When I called to complain, I was told they had a lot of lower grade roasts left and "had to get rid of it" so I got one of them. I am quoting them exactly. When I complained to the owner, there was never a response. Make sure if you're going to use them that you insist on prime+ or you'll get something else if they "have to get rid of it."

Amazing looking deli. My one beef (get it? HAW HAW) is that they offer sandwiches made to order, but had no greens to put on it. If they had sprouts and cucumber, I'd get a sammy here regularly.

Great Deli. House-made products, local products, fresh food, great prices. I usually get the entrée with 2 sides and a drink for $6-$7. Generously portioned, and tastes just like Mom made it. Prepared meats for cooking at home are awesome. 4 stars because post-lunch-rush items can be dry.
Closed for good
