    Nice place to get shakes and fat sandwiches. The sandwiches are decent. Service could have been a bit better. The ambiance is decent with nice lights and the interior design. 4 stars because they are overpriced in my opinion and the service was a bit slow.

    8" Classic Philly
    Van V.

    I am from Philadelphia suburbs and grew up eating excellent cheesesteaks and hoagies. I've been on a mission to try cheesesteaks claiming to be Philly cheesesteaks in north NJ. Cars' call in, get a text, pick up system works well. Their cheesesteak was okay, but I will not get it again. Roll was a bit too bulky and not enough Italian roll flavor. Not enough steak or onions for me. Their menu seems to feature crazy fat sandwiches with too many ingredients for me. Perhaps that is their specialty. BUT....did it taste pretty good. Yes. Am proud to be a cheesesteak snob, nevertheless. If you get this, you are likely to enjoy.

    Classic Chicken Sandwich with fries

    Decided to try this spot for lunch. The burger and waffle fries were decent. The burger could use a little more seasoning in my opinion. The raw onions and fresh pickles hit the spot!! The chicken sandwich was crispy and good. The fries were okay. The cookies and cream milk shake was really good and hit the spot.

    I had been wanting to try Cars for years. Unfortunately, the sandwich was not anything to write home about. It seems that the parts of the sandwich were greater than the whole. The individual parts were decent but somehow didn't seem to work together. It's as if everything blended together and tasted like one fried unit. The sauce I ordered was left out of the order. The sandwich was dry and needed sauce to lift it up. The best part was the peach iced tea. Years later; Cars was better left off as a fantasy of fat sandwiches than the actual experience of having one.

    8" Fat Tony

    I was in the area and Cars was on my to-try list since I no longer have fat sandwiches nearby. Went with the 8" Fat Tony as it's usually my grease trucks go-to. Overall, it's a good sandwich and what I was hoping for. A little heavier on the fries than the other ingredients and the sauce was a bit more herb-y than I prefer, but that's a personal thing.

    Amazing sandwich. Not the typical ketchup and mayo base. This thing had some FLAVOR! The pomegranate lemonade was good too. Make sure you ask for light ice. My service was handled in a professional manner. It's a take out kinda ambiance with standing booth near the window.

    Sometimes you just want that fat sandwich. Although you will need to work out because of this, don't do it right after because it is some heavy food. But for a rare craving, this hit the spot. Don't come here weekly. I came a few times when I was in college, and it definitely has a youngish appeal. You have the munchies, you're up late, you can handle much more greasy foods, etc. I actually used to get their "skinny sandwich" (vs their fat sandwiches) because I prefer grilled chicken vs. fried. They don't have those anymore. I guess if you're going to do something like cheat on your diet, you might as well go all the way. No half measures. The sandwiches have crazy ingredients like french fries and mozzarella sticks inside. The smaller sandwich is more than enough to be filling. I went with the Fat Pete, which was chicken, bacon, mozzarella sticks, cheese steak, and ranch. The ingredients mush together so you just get the sense of over the top indulgence. You can customize the orders online. I ordered for pickup and it was ready when I requested. Maybe the main issue with low ratings is their delivery? Their food is as advertised. I just had to go for the brownie roll as well, which is a dense brownie in a spring roll. Very sweet and rich. It was great hot, but it was 4 pieces, so I put the rest in fridge and it was great chilled too. More of a sharing food or over a couple of days. For a over the top sandwich to have once in a while, it hits the spot. Pick up if you can just to avoid any issues and it'll work out perfectly.

    First time at CARS Sandwiched & Shakes. Truthfully it was because the Pizza place was closed. I'm not much of a bread or sandwich eater, so my options were limited besides I also can't fathom putting things like, Mac & cheese bites, chicken fingers or mozzarella sticks on a sandwich. For me, this a places I would go when it's late and nothing else is available, which was the case here. I ordered the Mac & Cheese bites & an order of chicken fingers (simple). My friend ordered the Big Fat Reptar, it had cheesesteak, Mac & cheese bites, jalapeño, chicken fingers & buffalo ranch sauce; I just can't eat like that, it's funny what you can eat when you are in your 20's, but at this point in my life any sandwich that has the words "big fat" in it is a step away from a heart attack or stroke; so I had to pass on that. The restaurant was small, it's not a sit down spot, you basically order your food & keep it moving. Honestly for process food it was okay, the Mac & cheese bites were good, but after 1, it was too much for me, however I would order it again. I actually preferred my chicken fingers because they were hot & crunchy, as were the Mac & cheese bites as well. Overall, CARS served the purpose, I was extremely hungry after leaving the Montclair Jazz Festival, they were nearby, fast, opened for business and satisfied my hunger; what more could you ask for?

    Okay - I went here because a coworker was insisting that this sandwich was something you had to…read morehave. AND OH MY GOODNESS. I think it's my top sandwich I've ever had. We brought it back home and the cutlet was still plenty warm and the romaine was cold and crunchy. My coworker and boyfriend suggest getting some extra Caesar dressing on the side for dipping. The place was cutie pie - I liked that they were playing good music and had a silly book of animals I could browse at while I waited for the food to be ready. There was an altercation of two couples yelling at each-other and causing a fuss. Lowkey I wish the manager would have refused service to all 4 of them because why were they being absolutely terrible at 1pm on a Saturday. Not kicking them out promotes they can act like that and have no repercussions. But anywho guess the sandwiches are worth fighting over. I will be returning!

    Went just passed noon on a Saturday and the wait wasn't too long but there were lot of people -…read morerain didn't stop anyone! The size is so much bigger in person vs. shown online, so come hungry or be prepared to pack leftovers. They're a bit hard to eat like a sandwich so we had to use a fork and knife to cut it up into smaller pieces. I can see why people get a side order of dressing as it could be a bit dry - would recommend doing so (some people get buffalo sauce).

    Amazing sandwich spot in Livingston! I had the tuna sandwich…read moreand it was absolutely delicious,super fresh, perfectly seasoned, and really satisfying. The service was also fast, friendly, and welcoming. What I love most is the variety on the menu. There are so many different options to choose from, whether you're into cold subs, hot sandwiches, salads, or something in between. It's the kind of place where you want to try something new every time you go. Definitely recommend if you're in the area and looking for a solid, high-quality sandwich shop. I'll be back for sure!

    This place has become absolutely ridiculous. Imagine placing your order ahead of time and still…read morewaiting more than 20 minutes to get your food. What's the point of ordering in advance? Anthony, if you read this, you seriously need to check what's happening at this location. You either need to replace some of these employees or take their phones away, because they seem far more interested in being on their phones than preparing customers' orders. And don't even get me started on the customer service. It's practically nonexistent. There is no sense of urgency, no accountability, and no respect for people's time. Customers shouldn't have to stand around watching employees ignore them while orders pile up. I've known the history of Tony Boys Sandwiches and Anthony for years, which makes it even more frustrating to watch this location decline. It's hard to believe this is the standard that's now being accepted. Poor management, unprofessional employees, constant mistakes, and a complete lack of accountability are driving loyal customers away. A successful business depends on discipline, customer service, and competent staff--not employees who seem more interested in their phones than doing their jobs. Anthony, if you care about your reputation, it's time to clean house and restore the standards that built this business. This location needs a complete reset. .
