Most Disliked
Some visitors mention that the service may be slower during peak hours, especially on busy weekends. While the quality of food is worth the wait, some diners might feel the lunch rush affects their experience. A few customers have noted that the limited operating hours—only open for lunch—can be inconvenient, particularly for those seeking an early dinner. The deli can also fill up quickly, leading to a crowded environment during peak times. Overall, these minor drawbacks don’t overshadow the positive vibe and delicious food at Jon's, but they are points that occasional diners might want to consider.

This place is awesome! Greeted by a huge Freedom flag alongside a Trump flag and an American flag when you walk up to the place. Inside is the best staff of people who are happy, nice, and polite. I got the Sasquatch on an onion roll……..amazing! My wife got some type of chicken sandwich that she loved as well. This is going to be a must stop when in the area!

One of the best little local spots in the Lakes Region - we stop in at least a couple times a month. They are only open for lunch - but at that they are experts. Wide selection of sandwiches, not just roast beef — but the best roast beef anywhere. My favorite is the house special on an onion roll, which has both their bbq sauce and horseradish. The horseradish adds interest but isn’t too spicy - just right. I’ve loved everything I’ve ever ordered here. All the staff are friendly and accommodating. Sit at one of the outside tables in the summer!

Visiting from MN and almost made the mistake of going to a different sit-down restaurant in town on water. Go here instead. Great sandwiches. Friendly service.

Jon’s is hands down the best place for lunch in the area. Their roast beef is always perfect and they take pride in their work. The service is A+, they make sure you’re taken care of. They might be a bit slower to get your food to you, but that’s because they truly make sure their sandwiches are up to standards. We always go to Jon’s when we’re at the lake. Order the house special, you won’t be disappointed!!

Haven't had a hot roast beef in 18 years, went to college on the North Shore and Harrison's (before it got bad) was my spot - Godsmack's favorite beef. The beef 3-way shot me back to 2007 in the best way. Delicious, tender, and dripping with homemade BBQ sauce, all on an onion roll. If you're in the Laconia NH area and are craving a hot roast beef sandwich, or if you've never had one before, stop in. You won't regret it.

Went in for the first time and everything on the menu looked great. Had a tough time ordering because I didn’t know what to get but the staff was very personable. We ordered and they brang us our food and John I think came over and made sure that we liked our sandwiches and if we didn’t he make us another. We were ecstatic with ours and we are definitely coming back!!! These places deserve to be open forever!!!

I ordered today for the first time and called ahead early for a bunch of sandwiches. The man I spoke with was so kind, helpful, and genuine. He clearly takes a lot of pride in his work. The food itself was amazing. 5 adults and multiple children were all so happy with their lunches. Picking upz all the staff including the man who took my original order continued to be helpful and amazing. Just a really great way to start your day. God bless Jon's Roast Beef and Deli!
