Warren Deli and Grill

It's typical for us to want hoagies on Sunday, when many delis are closed, so we took the opportunity of Martin Luther King, Jr. day to try a new place out.  My husband wanted specialty sandwiches, so I found this place online.  A littler further than we'd normally travel, but this place was great.  I had a Roma Panning (breaded eggplant, roasted peppers, pesto, and mozzarella) while my husband had an enormous daily special sandwich.  The place is nice and clean, and has a wide variety of chips and drinks.  We also tried the macaroni salad and the pasta salad.  My husband exclaimed that the macaroni was perfect, while I enjoyed the pasta salad more with its black olives, green peppers, and yellow squash.

It's a little out of our way, but we were really pleased with our trip to Warren Deli!

Randazzo Pastry Shop

611 Us Hwy 202
Raritan, NJ 08869

We drove by last weekend and noticed that there always seemed to be a lot of cars in their parking lot, so today we figured we'd stop in since we were in the area. The first thing that caught my eye, even before we entered was their pastry display. Wow, those cakes are gorgeous. We went to the line and each ordered sandwiches. The Boys were both in love with the pastries, although The Boy seemed more interested in where they went when they disappeared (as trays were taken out for serving). The Man ordered a HUGE cookie, which has not yet been tasted.

Both of our sandwiches were good and REALLY big. BAJ ate all of his, but I couldn't even take down the whole half. This, by the way, was the half sandwich.

Prices seemed reasonable, and certainly for the amount of food you get in a sandwich. We will definitely be going back to Randazzo's.

A&G Fine Foods

The hubs and I decided to try this place after hearing that they are fantastic. It was a nice little Italian foods place, and I'd really love to try their prepared meals, which looked fantastic. We both had our sandwiches on club rolls, which didn't really impress me, although BAJ liked it a lot. He had the Middlesex Special, which we both thought "ok," but we both really liked my #9. The meats were all really fresh and tasty, and on the whole the sandwich was very good. I'd like to try their hero roll since I was a little disappointed in the club roll. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't what I was looking for. BAJ even mentioned them today as we were thinking about our lunch options, so we will definitely return here soon.

Big Wally's Subs

3322 Washington Rd
Parlin, NJ 08859

We were out driving one day and stumbled upon Big Wally's. We took our sandwiches to JFK Park and had a great time. They were so good, we now make the 30-45 minute drive down because it's definitely worth it. They have great specials, which is always a plus for me since I like to try new things, but they also have great typical hoagie sandwiches. Their subs are big and soo delish.

Hoagie Hut

357 Union Ave, Bridgewater, NJ

We went to this deli yesterday for some yummy sandwiches after reading some great reviews on Yahoo! local. The hubs and I split a hoagie on a whole wheat roll. I'm not sure what it was about the sandwich, but neither of us was blown away by it. It might have been that the roll wasn't that great, but I was sort of disappointed in the hoagie as a whole. We declared that if we were in the area, we'd go back, but wouldn't make a special trip.

Park Deli

(732) 545-6585
80 Raritan Ave
Highland Park, NJ


Looking for lunch the other day, we happened to discover this place via yahoo local, and gave it a try. From the outside, this is probably a place I would have bypassed, but I'm glad we went in and gave it a try.

I love a place with a large selection of sandwiches made up... I'm not creative, and without such a suggestion, I go to my old standby of Italian hoagie.

They have lots of options here, which is wonderful, and these selections are certainly a Russian dressing lover's dream-- I think every one has Russian on it.

I like that they use Boar's Head too.

My sandwich, the Roller Coaster Hero, was pretty good. I forget what BAJ got, but it was good too (Of course, I had to try it). He raved about them over on yahoo local, but I think he liked it a little more than I did.

Midtown Gourmet

111 S Main St, Manville, NJ 08835

We decided to try this spot for lunch after reading the reviews on yahoo local. I had the California cheeseburger deluxe and hubby had the Pastrami Reuben Deluxe. Our entire bill came to $12 plus tip! Service was great, and hubby is still talking about how "Goo-ood" his sandwich was.

It reminded me a lot of Cheers because everyone seemed to know each others' names! :)

Court House Sub Shop

16 E Main St, Somerville, NJ 08876

We decided to try this after reading the previous reviews here. Neither of us had a sub, and maybe that's where we went wrong. We both had the club sandwich, and they were both "fine" for us--nothing to really write home about.

If we happen to be in the area and looking for a sub, we might go back here... but we're not making the trip to go.

Legends

122 N Main St, Milltown, NJ 08850

Oh yum, is this place good. They have all kinds of interesting sandwiches and the bread is out of this world. It's a little bit of a hike for us, but always worth it.

FYI, they are not open on Sundays.

Steck's Delicatessen

325 Highway 202/206
Bridgewater, NJ 08807

BAJ asked that we try a new deli place today for lunch, so to the internet I went. I found this place and, based on the reviews on yahoo local, decided it would be the place to go. We had a bit of a hard time finding them, not expecting them to be in a strip mall, but the internet age allows us to have the internet on our cell phones so we just called them up. They're on the Somerville Circle, right next to Barnes and Noble!

My husband had a "Cold Cut Sloppy Joe," and proclaimed the bread to be delicious. I ordered an Italian sub and it was good, although not outstanding. My husband has also been on a quest for good German potato salad and proclaimed the search has come to an end! We also had an order of pasta salad, which was good and had an interesting flavor that we couldn't place.

Joe's Meat Market

28 Main St, South Bound Brook, NJ 08880

Joe's is great... their specials are delicious, their meats are fresh, and their bread is outstanding. Better yet, I signed up for their email list and eventually won a free lunch!! I really like the Jorge's Chicken Melt, which is a special, but their regular subs are fantastic too!
