The food scene in Central Texas is expanding rapidly, and Leander, consistently ranked among the fastest-growing cities in the United States, is at the heart of this culinary boom. As new developments bring more dining options to our community, there is a special excitement when a local resident steps up to enrich the neighborhood. We are thrilled to introduce you to Jack’s Modern Artisan Deli, a brand-new small business that opened its doors this month in Leander.
Meet The Gillespies
Founded by Jack Gillespie, a Liberty Hill native, this new eatery is designed to bring elevated, chef-driven food to the area. With a strong background in professional kitchens, Jack has focused his menu on quality, consistency, and bold flavors. Every item is built with intention, delivering a modern take on the classic deli experience.
“A local to the area, Jack returned home during COVID alongside his wife, Nicole, whom he met while living in Washington State. With a shared vision and a commitment to quality, they set out to build something the community lacked: a modern deli focused on doing things right. Jack’s culinary background includes formal training in Washington and experience in high-volume, high-standard kitchens such as Stanley & Seafort’s and Saltgrass Steak House, laying a foundation built on consistency, execution, and flavor. That experience carries into every part of the deli, from house-made meats to thoughtfully built sandwiches and reliable catering. Together, Jack and Nicole have created a concept that blends traditional deli roots with a modern, elevated approach. Whether it’s a quick lunch or catering for a crowd, their goal is simple: deliver high-quality food, done right, every time.”
Whether you are looking for a quick lunch, planning an event, or needing help with your weekly meals, Jack’s Modern Artisan Deli has something special to offer.
Elevated Sandwiches, Soups, and Salads
At Jack’s, the menu goes far beyond your average lunch spot. They specialize in elevated sandwiches crafted with house-made meats and bold flavor profiles.

In addition to their prepared menu items, the deli boasts a selection of fresh meats and artisan cheeses. This makes it a fantastic stop if you are putting together a charcuterie board for a weekend gathering or simply want high-quality ingredients for your home cooking.
