    Rose's Special Hoagie
    Shanice G.

    Yummy, a freshly prepared hoagie that I loved! I got Rose's special which was HUGE like.. bigger than my head. Stuffed to the brim. I also added lettuce. Hardly finished half. Now added to the list of one of my staple spots to stop by when in the area. Very good price point for like $13.

    I have been hearing about these infamous cheesesteaks and hoagies and had to make my way over. A friend of mine split a cheesesteak and an Italian. Walking in your hit with a family vibe and just smell the vinegar and onions in the air... it is divine. The place was really clean and you could tell they just renovated or added. The staff were really great and for that reason I will be going back. I took a star away because the cheesesteak just wasn't good. Very wet and just saturated the roll and it had cheap wiz which looked like water. Great flavor but that's all for the steak. However, the Italian was terrific. Perfectly portioned for a bite size, and held together very well without falling apart ! I highly suggest their hoagies ! I will be back.

    Italian Hoagie... absolutely delicious!

    We go here every single time we are in New Jersey (which isn't often enough)... their Italian Subs are amazing! The bread (from Del Buono's Bakery) is to die for... and they stuff it with the most delicious deli meats,fresh lettuce, tomatoes, onions, herbs, oil & vinegar, and they never judge me for adding mayonnaise and spicy mustard to mine (at least not that I know of... haha)! My first visit to Carmen's was in 1994, and the quality remains at the highest level!

    Really good, but also a treat. I typically do not like to spend $25 on sub sandwiches or hoagies. But why not today? I enjoyed my Italian as is. They mixed up my order a bit, but what an easy fix. Since this was just lunch, I probably need to remember to get one and share it. This hoagie was huge. Definitely big enough to share unless of course you carry a big appetite. My order was done on time and while they appeared super busy, their customer service remained on point. There was a new entrance a door over on the Main street with a sign that says 'under construction' at the original door in the corner. There was much more space than recalled in the newer space. I highly recommend this place and will keep coming back.

    Awhile back my boyfriend and I found a list of top 50 South Jersey foods to try. We've been working our way through it and today was Carmen's Deli! The list has Rose's Special which is a hoagie with domestic and sharp provolone, prosciutto, sopressata, capicola, roasted reds, onions etc. We took the tomatoes off, they are normally included. Now I'm not a hoagie girl, but I can appreciate a good one when I see it and WOW this one is good! First of all, it's huge! Was enough for me and my boyfriend to split. The flavors were DELICIOUS! Not only did all the meats and cheeses blend so well, but the roasted reds and oil/oregano added so much flavor. The meat was so fresh and the Del Buono roll was perfect. We had to drive pretty far to try this (we were semi in the area) but we both agreed we will be back soon to get another! Yum!!

    I need to start this one by saying that I am well aware you only get a certain amount of calories in a day... and YOU NEED TO MAKE THEM COUNT. I refuse to spend them on mediocre food; they need to be put towards things that make your mouth water... and Carmen's isn't it. But Somerdale Cold Cuts is... so off we went there instead, and you should too. But here's the detailed run down: Somerdale Cold Cuts is our go to joint, because I don't think there's much else in the world that can be better, but today I was on the hunt to see what else the area has to offer in terms of sandwhiches. We found Carmen's from the dozens of reviews praising their product. But right off the bat, our experience was in the shitter. Service: We ordered two sandwhiches and then stood there for about 15/20 minutes when two older women looked at eachother and said, "what the hell do they want?" Uhm OUR SANDWHICHES MAYBE? So they literally took our order and then forgot to make them??? We were the only ones in there... I'm confused and that's just rude to say. Food: Well besides the fact that I asked for oil and vinegar and only got vinegar (which I could barely taste as well) ((and it only says vinegar on the receipt too, even though I always stress the oil and vinegar)), it was meh. The only thing they got is that they're big??? Because the bread is tough and I shouldn't have to wrestle with the dough, I don't care what "renowned" bakery they're from. And the chicken wrap my husband order was so over cooked he took the chicken out and ate the cheese and tomatoes. SO, I'm pretty pissed that I spent the time and money to come out here and was not treated as a paying customer, but more of a burden AND the fact that they DO NOT have the best in South NJ, but they think they do hence the attitudes I guess. I literally came in quiet, placed an order and I get "what the hell do they want"?!? NO. I learned my lesson to stick to my Somerdale... don't fix what isn't broken!!

    Great hoagies! I got the Rose's Special and it was great. I'll definitely be back. Conveniently close to 295 and the NJT.

    After reading a bunch of comments about how good the cheesesteaks were here in a Facebook SJ Food…read moreGroup I decided to give Local Ljnks a try. The cheesesteak was a super generous portion of quality meat, caramelized onions and cheesy goodness in a deliciously grilled seeded hoagie roll. I also enjoyed the bechamel based Mac and cheese side order (big enough for 2 to share) and the key lime pie was to die for! The owner, Joe was in the dining room and spoke to / thanked every patron who entered his establishment before they left. We got to talking a bit and I could tell that this guy gets it... he is personable, he is likable and it's evident that he loves what he does. 5 stars!

    We went in this morning for a Father's Day brunch and wish I never suggested it. We won't be back…read moreand recommend anyone else reading this to do yourself and favor and head down the street to the coffee shop instead. The food took forever, which it usually does but we still go since we normally like the breakfast food. The burrito finally arrived after 30 minutes. The tacos my husband ordered took another 10 minutes. My husband was less than thrilled with flavorless soft tacos that took 40 minutes to make. We decided to provide feedback because we've been here many times and expected more. Again, we regretted this as well. I don't know why we bothered because no one knows how to take honest feedback anymore these days. The young boy who portrayed himself as the manager (was in fact the busboy) was dismissive and but did offer refund, which we declined since that's not the reason we provided feedback. He couldn't handle someone trying to tell them how to improve instead of asking for something for free. It's crazy how someone doesn't want money is still treated as difficult. Then my husband takes the time from his day to speak with owner. He thought he had a constructive conversation, only to find the owner goes straight into his kitchen in front of customers and tells the young boy what my husband said. So unprofessional! They have an open kitchen and this guy thinks it's a good idea to speak with your employee now??? Little did they know while they were trash talking my husband, instead of appreciating the fact that he wasn't asking for money and only wanted gave valuable constructive feedback from repeated customers, that they all chose to turn it around and call my husband a jerk. I did call out that they need to be more careful about how they speak about customers and it was quite interesting to see an entire kitchen and at least 5 customers in line speechless and in shock! As they should have been. Like the rest of society these days, no one knows how to behave and be professional anymore. I'm beyond embarrassed for the owner and anyone affiliated with this restaurant. Just downright pathetic!
