    Lumberjack
    Linda M.

    Stopped by this place on the way down the Jersey shore. This sub shop offers a wide variety of sandwiches at a very good price point. The staff is friendly and service is quick. This place is cash only and there is no dining area. I highly recommend the lumberjack with pepper relish. So good!

    Awesome little sub shop! First time going here but it definitely seems like it's a staple in town! Small spot with a lot to choose from. There's no seating inside and it's cash only but the amount of special sandwich options they have are endless. You get a lot of food for a really good price too, I got a half of a linsanity which is a grilled chicken sub with bacon and a drink for $10. So much flavor in the chicken and great size sub. The lettuce, tomato & onion on it also seemed very fresh. Quick service too, I walked in and placed my order that was for a grilled chicken (not a deli meat sub you can pump out quick) and it was ready in a few minutes. They also have homemade noodle salad, potato salad and coleslaw as well as homemade desserts like brownies and banana bread. Super friendly employees, definitely would recommend stopping in for a sub or grabbing a bunch of food for a party or day at the beach.

    Pastrami & I believe Sanchez turkey? Delicious with all the fixings. I know how to order a great sandwich

    Easily the best sandwich shop in town. If you visit make sure to try either The King or The Buffalo Shemanheimer. Both are seriously delicious. Edit: I'm back, & this is also the best RUBEN in town. Like how they make theirs is ridiculously good. I always order mine with pickle & provolone & it's just ...

    Birdman Sanders

    I've lived in the area for many years and I've never heard of Big Wally's until I saw it featured as the #1 sandwich place in the country in an online article - I don't remember which one it was, but I knew I had to come check it out. My first experience lived up to the hype! Two things that stand out are the extremely extensive menu with every combination imaginable, and the fact that it's cash only. Bring cash, there is no ATM. The number of options on the menu is amazing, but it left me with choice paralysis! I wanted to try one of everything but eventually settled on the Birdman. Chicken cheesesteak, pork roll, pepperjack cheese, peppers, onions, and honey mustard. It was so, so good, lots of great flavors! Plenty of honey mustard but not too much so it didn't get soggy. It was busy on a Friday lunch hour but my food came out in ten minutes. The staff was friendly and had a certain old school Jersey charm. The price as very reasonable, too, 9 bucks even. I'll definitely be coming back to try more.

    Big Wally's was an interesting experience. There are so many subs to choose from! My husband got the Buffalo Sheneineheimer and I got the Appetizer. We saw the great reviews so wanted to visit. The reason for the 3 stars is as follows: the bread is the type of cheap bread you get from an Italian take out place. When you use bad bread for sandwiches, it ruins the whole taste. In my sub, it was grilled chicken, prosciutto, Asiago cheese, and roasted peppers on garlic bread. After the great reviews, I was very excited for this sandwich. However, I was disappointed. The grilled chicken and prosciutto were chopped up and mixed together in the sandwich. I was expecting nice chicken cutlets and slices of prosciutto. Very disappointed. Also, you could barely taste the garlic bread. As for my husband's sub, he enjoyed it. But it did taste like cheap chicken meat in a saucy blue cheese. Probably skip this place next time.

    Always fresh always full and glad they are located next to my cloths house. Will definitely be coming back. Even their Brenda's m breakfast sandwiches are good

    Because of Big Wallys I can never go to another sub shop. It's too good. I grew up in the neighborhood across from this family owned business and I never had a bad experience! During this time, they closed the inside of their store and are now bringing orders to your car so make sure you call your order ahead! My order took about 25 minutes. I've had quite a few subs from their menu, here are a few of my favs: - club sub (with provolone. Can't go wrong with a classic) - juicy lucy - poore boy - grilled chicken pesto (or prince pesto with eggplant) Try something different than your typical ham & cheese at this place. You won't regret it! Any sandwich is great with hot sauce. And the bread is always soft and fresh. They have plenty of unique add ons like .75 brownies, salads, chips or sodas to choose from. The options are displayed in their window. Enjoy!

    Really, really good tavern pie, although I wouldn't necessarily call it a traditional tavern pizza…read more When I think tavern, I think crackery crust. That is not this. The caramelized ring of cheese around the edge is brilliant. The bottom was a hair undercooked and therefore a little limp but not too bad. One other reason for the limp is the very generous amount of cheese that solidifies into a shield atop the pizza. The sauce is a tad sweet but not too bad. I know I have nitpicked a bit here but it is still excellent pizza and worth a stop if you are in the area.

    8/14/25 - Went to a pizza shop today that I have never tried. I am not sure how I never ate here…read moreconsidering that I've driven passed this place a thousand times taking Alex to and from dance class. TJ's Pizza and Catering is located in Parlin, NJ. I went in with the intention of ordering a large plain and a large Sicilian. But there's a sign on the wall that refers to this place as the home of the Tavern Pie. Tavern Pie? What in the world is that? Never saw that anywhere on Staten Island when I was growing up. But if that's your specialty, scratch off the Sicilian and add one Tavern Pie. The good: The plain pie was wonderful. It's the neopolitan style we all grew up eating. When I opened the box, the aroma immediately brought me back to Al's Pizza on Jewett Ave in Staten Island. I knew I was going to like it. And it didn't disappoint. The flavor of the sauce explodes in your mouth on the very first bite. The crust was pretty good too... crunchy and very little limpness. The cheese is very flavorful. And its real cheese with flavor.... not the cheap version. The foot traffic in this place is incredible. It took about 20 minutes to cook the pies and in that time, I easily saw 25 people coming in. The staff is super friendly kick-starting conversations about football with the majority of the people that came in. And to their credit, they knew everyone's names! In my mind, this definitely speaks to them having a loyal customer base. The bad: I was not a big fan of the Tavern Pie. As I am learning, Tavern Pie is a very thin crust pie cooked well. TJ's version isn't terrible, but it's not one that I'd run to buy again. The sauce wasn't as flavorful and all that cooking took the flavor out of the cheese. Not sure why it wasn't as flavorful overall if it's the same ingredients just cooked longer. Maybe this your thing? It's nice to try but its not for me. Overall Rating: C+ My score probably should have been a smidge higher but when I try your specialty and it's just average, you get points taken off.

    First time trying this place after finding it online, and it did not disappoint. I was hoping to…read moregrab individual slices, but they were sold out since we went later in the evening. We ordered a four-section pie instead, and it was a great way to try a few different options. The Hot Boy pizza with hot honey was easily the standout, and the bottom right slice was also excellent. The darker meat slice on the bottom left was not my favorite. I did not enjoy it, but my partner did. Pizza was huge, and we had plenty left over. Next time, I'll make it earlier for the individual slices! Staff were nice. Environment was nice. Again, I came close to closing time but they were still taking plenty of orders!

It was definitely the star of the three types we had and came out delicious, cheesey and piping hot right out of the oven. Like most bar pies, it needs to be consumed right away as I don't think it travels over time well. The other two styles we had blended Indian flavors with a pizza medium. The nihari beef (weekends only) was a deliciously prepared shredded beef that comes with a stewed broth. First time having it and it was delicious! The butter chicken was heavy and filling but also super tasty. The woman at the counter was very informative and told us everything we needed to know about their pizzas. You're able to get any pizza in any style, offering you a different taste/variation on all their flavors. We'll dedinitely be back to try more and get another bar pie!
