Although they advertise themselves as a general store I feel like they are more of a takeout place for sandwiches and bagels. (Lots of folks coming and going) The selection of groceries left something to be desired but the hoagie and fries were delicious! I got the bagel with butter to go but I can't tell you how it tasted because my dog got to it before I did! lol They even have a little seating area if you want to eat there. The gentleman behind the counter was very nice and gave me time to figure out what I wanted. read more

We went in on Sunday and ordered two breakfast sandwiches at 11:28 and didn't receive them until 12:14...it wasn't really that busy either. The sandwiches were good, but never again would I wait that long. read more

Stopped at the Columbus General store after my LabCorp visit. They had a breakfast burrito special for $7.99 which included a bottle of water or coffee or a can of soda. So I got it. It was amazing! I ate half and I'm stuffed! Sausage, bacon, egg, peppers, onions, and potatoes. It was very good! Oh, and their bagels are awesome too!! Nice store nice service and nice and clean. read more

Went back a 2nd time, we had something different from the first time. It was so amazingly good, we had to take home a muffin and apple turnover for later. The young lady behind the counter was so nice and sweet. We recommend going here. Oh and try the jalapeño cheddar bagels, they are to die for. read more

Wow! Has this place gone downhill! Idk if it's new ownership or what. Hoagies used to be the best, not so much anymore. Went there last Sunday just for a cheese hoagie. Hahaha!! American cheese hoagie with lettuce, tomato, hot peppers and vinegar. It felt light when I left but boy was i surprised when I got home. Literally!!! 3 pieces of cheese! Lettuce, tomato and onion with oil!! Never! And I mean never going back there again. I will go out of my way to tell everyone I know this place doesn't care anymore. 1 star cause I had to read more

Usually pretty good. They have good customer service. Food is good. Sandwiches are great.

This store is in a quiet , clean, neat, and homey in a little town. I've been coming here since 2000. They have a little of this and that such as lottery, New England Coffee Island, Hershey Ice-cream, Boar's head deli meats and cheese, chips, milk, soda and a local favorite called "Boost", and so much more. They have fair prices and good food. They have a diner like set up where you can eat in and watch t.v., read your paper or whatever you like. As I waited for my order it was as if I stepped back in time. People who came in seemed to no one another and the cashier new them as well. It was as if it were there home away from home and I was visiting them. While engaging in friendly conversation. I had hash browns, 2 farm eggs, pork roll and rye bread. I took my family and I orders and left because I had somewhere to be. After parking I decided to open my container and what did J see? There was no pork roll. Ugh! I was so disappointed because this was my cheat day. Now I couldn't cheat. You're talking about a major disappointment because I had built myself just to be let down by the MIssing in action pork roll. I called to inform them of my issue. I was in formed that they would give extras pork roll and gave me an apology. I looked in my container and disappointed again because it was only really a regular order. Either they were having a bad day or I was having a bad day. It wasn't me! For sure! I would try them again, but it will be a while because I do. read more

Columbus General Store - Hash browns, 2 farm fresh eggs, rye bread. Missing pork roll $5.99 - Delis Near Me - Columbus, New Jersey

See all

I have been in this area for over 20 years so I am quite familiar with this spot. Seen many changes as well as many owners. The current owner has raised prices to ridiculous levels. The other day I had a pork roll, egg and cheese sandwich on rye and it was over $9.00! Now time for some math; if eggs are $3 a dozen, 2 eggs cost 50 cents, 2 slices of American cheese is about 40 cents, 2 slices of porkroll is about $1 and 2 slices of rye is 20 cents. A dallop of cooking oil is maybe 10 cents. Now, if the cook is making $30 and hour and it takes him 7 minutes to make this that equals $3.50. This totals $5.70. Thats a pretty hefty mark up. I also had a deli sandwich (bologna & liverwurst on whole wheat, don't laugh it is really good) and that cost over $12 dollars! It did include a small bag of chips. Plenty of other places within 2 miles where the food is as good and lots more fairer in price. read more

I haven't been here for awhile but ive always loved their cole slaw and my boyfriend likes to put it on his roast beef hoagie. I always get the southwest chicken salad no egg no onion and an order of fries. I usually love their lunch fries. I ordered to go. The fries were some of the worst ive ever been served. Extremely overcooked. I like a little crunch but these were well past that. The hoagie was really good and my salad was good except they forgot the asian crispy noodles that kind of make it. I will say the chicken was cooked perfect and hoagie was great but the fries and missing noodles were a disappointment read more

Columbus General Store - Overcooked - Delis Near Me - Columbus, New Jersey

Went to pick up my order only to find a stale roll for my hoagie and my wrap to have items on it I specifically asked them to take off. They unhappily remade the wrap to what I had asked. (Trying to get me to take the incorrect wrap). When I got home the chicken was literal rubber and smelled bad. Never again. This place used to be amazing a few years ago but not at all since. This has been my 3rd time with orders being incorrect and food being bad. read more

It's a shame that this place has gone down hill. We haven't been happy that all of the sandwiches that used to include fries have now become platters- charging $3 for a handful of fries that were included just a year ago (and for a lower overall sandwhich/fries price) is just sad. We were in a pinch so ordered here one more time today. I arrive to find out that only one of the orders was made. No apologies, I was just told that I can wait while it's prepared. That's no way to keep customers. When I worked at delis and a butcher shop, if that happened we would call the customer- if we couldn't get them then their meal upon arrival would be comped. I would have been happy with an apology but nada.. so, in summary- $13 for a wrap with a dozen fries that I used to pay 10 bucks for (and would get both of my orders)? No longer for me. Best of luck to you. read more

terrible service. asked for no onions on my sandwich and said it not once, not twice, not even three times. 4 or 5 times i said NO ONION. this is what i get read more

Columbus General Store - a person holding a sandwich and french fries - Delis Near Me - Columbus, New Jersey

I have been going to the Columbus General Store fo over 35 years. It has only gotten better. You wouldn't think it, but their wings are top 5 I've ever had. Their hoagies are outstanding! read more

Gave the General Store another chance because of a message from the owner, again we are very disappointed. The normally solid Chicken Athena was loaded with soggy, previously frozen spinach that tasted like it came from a dollar store, and a paltry amount of feta. The only half-decent items were the fries and the garlic bread. Chicken was tender, but mostly flavorless except for the frozen spinach taste. Final strike, never again. read more

We got General for lunch today and I'm so happy we did. We ordered an Italian hoagie, a cowgirl wrap and a blackened chicken panini and it was all delicious! Definitely worth the stop!! read more

I have been here multiple times for breakfast or lunch. I often get salads or sandwiches. Its better than most places in the area.The food is never disappointing! However, the thing that is often disappointing is the miserable help behind the counter. read more

Everything I've ordered from here has been so good. Fresh, high quality ingredients. Their "Cheese Lover's Panini" is my all-time favorite sandwich. Honestly, if I was on death row and had to choose my last meal it would be the cheese lover's panini. It's a vegetarian option (which I normally don't choose!) However, the pesto is amazing, the tomatoes they use are always so ripe and there's a perfect amount of melted cheese. You can always trust Columbus Deli read more

The Columbus General Store has great pancakes and good breakfast sandwiches, but lunch is really what it's all about. They have unique sandwiches...turkey reuben, cow girl chicken wrap, grilled turkey pocket, or any sandwich ordered on homemade bread. And both luch and dinner meals always feature specials that have always been reliably good. Plus...it's an old fashioned general store where everyone knows everyone...makes it homey and fun! read more

My co-workers constantly order from Columbus. One day I decided to hop on the bandwagon and order as well. Oh, I'm truly happy I did. Columbus has one of the best BLT's I've ever had! The food is fresh and tasty. I always want to order from here. read more

I just had the General Store for the third time and it has won me over. 1) It has a diner menu meaning you can really get ANYTHING you want 2) It tastes better than cheap diner food 3) portions are big so its a good value. Also they are open today, of all days, (huge snowstorm) so I love the General Store read more

We come here all the time and the food is always good. Unfortunately, due to a very rude woman who we've had some issues with before but never so bad, we will not be going here again. While waiting for food, she complained how much she hates people sneezing and blowing their nose. A worker came up to her and she said "Someone already brought their food up, you're retarded." While signing my credit card receipt, she made another snide comment "does it always take you this long to sign a receipt?" I always like to support our local places and have ignored the rudeness but treating your own workers that way is just wrong. read more

Awesome food, good prices. I love the cowboy chicken, buffalo chicken wrap, rodeo burger... I could go on

Best coleslaw and potato salad ever! I order paninis a lot, and hey never disappoint.

Had to throw out our dinners tonight. Picked up 2 salads each with grilled chicken which looked horrible and tasted even worse. Nuked it in case it was under-cooked since it didn't look right, but that didn't help. I don't know if it wasn't fully defrosted before it was cooked or if it was just old, but it was inedible and definitely not safe to serve. Olives tasted funny, too, and a lot of the lettuce was wilted. A while back, I bought milk there that went bad before the sell by date. I called to advise them of the problem so they could pull the milk out of the frig...person who took the call didn't care about it at all. We previously tolerated the rude service since there isn't much else in town, but they have officially lost our business. read more

I would give 5-stars because I find that the food is excellent! I am never disappointed. However, the last 3 or 4 times that I've called to place an order for pick-up, the person answering the phone has always been so rude and snippy! It's almost like you feel like you're inconveniencing them by giving them your business. For someone to respond to your request to place an order with, "What do you want?!" is so unprofessional and then for the person to continue to give me attitude throughout my order is just unnecessary! read more

Ok local place. Fried Chicken and potato wedges are great. Most sandwiches and dinners are good. Diner food if you want to take home.
