I always passed this on my way to Penn Station and finally decided to give it a try. It's a small…read morestore with a counter that actually had a fairly extensive menu. You can get sandwiches, Greek specialities, and even some breakfast items (pancakes, French toast, etc.). The menu is great. Lots of options and the prices are wonderful. I had a bagel with egg ,cheese, and gyro as well as coffee. The coffee was really good. I was expecting mediocre to bad coffee but it was actually a nice cup. The food was well made too. It looks like they take their food seriously, even though it's a small botega type place. Despite the low prices, the quality is pretty good. One other nice touch was that they had 3 tables for people to sit at. Although this seems more like a order and take out place, the seating is a nice addition. I would definitely recommend this place for a bit on the way or from Penn Station. Or even if you just want a pretty cheap lunch option, it's a good place to go. You can often (but not always) find parking at the 2 hour parking meters next to the shop.

I've only ever tried the Hot Pastrami sandwich from here. The place is very CLEAN which is…read moredefinitely a plus and has a nice layout and ambiance to it. There even a Mrs. Pac-Man game that you can play for free while you wait for your food. I think it's a great deli addition to this neighborhood. As for the food, it was okay. Nothing too special in my opinion. I paid $18.60 for a hot pastrami which is on par for these kinds of sandwiches but for the size it definitely could have been bigger. I still would recommend if you really want a hot pastrami and you don't want to go downtown or across town. And I would go back if I was in the area. I'm currently on the search for the BEST pastrami sandwich in Jersey and sadly this just isn't it. But good for the area that it is serving.

Just got off my plane and this was my first time in New Jersey, so I decided to try this bakery:…read more The bacon egg and cheese ($5.99) was honestly really good. It came on a mollete roll that was crispy on the outside, and everything worked well together. Definitely my favorite thing I got. The pastel de nata was also solid -- nice light, crispy crust with a smooth, creamy filling. The Brazilian cheese bread (3 for $1) wasn't great though. It was chewy but it didn't taste fresh, so it wasn't crispy and ended up being kind of dense. Same with the beef empanada ($2.99) -- I'd probably skip it. The filling was dry, crumbly, and didn't have much flavor, just plain ground beef. Overall, I won't be back in New Jersey anytime soon, but coming from California it felt really cheap for a local spot. If I do come back, I'd probably try a different place.

It's one of those places that's stood the test of time for a reason -- consistent, authentic, and always delicious.

Working in Newark everyday allows me to enjoy lunch at Hobby's a few times a month…read more The restaurant itself is very dated and old school. Lots of Devils memorabilia is hung up throughout. Basic seating with nothing fancy. A full jar of fresh pickles is on the table. The pastrami is second to none. Seriously. You get a generous portion of pastrami on rye. Greasy, fatty, just perfect! The onion rings are the best. They are famous for a reason. I go a few times a month so, I'm always greeted by name and promptly seated. The food always arrives shortly after the order is taken.

Luckily I found Hobby's Delicatessen via Find Me Gluten Free and was so glad to find that they do legitimate gluten-free options with a dedicated fryer and prep space to prevent cross contamination. I had the gluten-free pastrami wrap with fries for $23.95 and my husband had the #5 pastrami and corned beef with coleslaw and Russian dressing for $25.95. he also got the drip coffee with free refills for $3.25. Service was amazing. Owner's came out and chatted with us and preemptively made sure that I was aware that my food was safe for me to consume. Our waitress was incredibly personable and sweet. There were free pickles on the table. I'm not even a pickle person but I had three because again, I've been dying for vegetables after being in Europe. Great portions, safe celiac options, personable service, refillable drinks and no charge to use the toilets (although I didn't need to use them during this visit) This is what makes American restaurants great and Hobby's ticks all of those boxes.

I would price it at about $7- the general price of a McDonald's Big Mac. Why? Because although it's a fresher burger with some idiosyncrasies, the Big Mac is more substantial. All in all, worth a try. Plus a lot of unique items on the menu that I look forward to trying. The burgers just need plumping up. I like them and will be back. Try them.
