Deli King isn't just a Clark institution. It's a North Jersey iconic restraurant! The prices for dine in are steep but the pickles and cole slaw are well worth it. The dining area has about 13 tables but there's always a line for take out. I ordered the Stuffed Pita w grilled chicken and sauteed onions and mushrooms. It was like comfort food to the next level. The sandwich was decent size and tasted delicious. My only complaint is the pita broke too easily but still tasted good. Kenny, who owns Deli King is always greeting me with a smile. He runs a nice place and I will definitely come back! read more

Just no. Walking in, I saw the woman at the counter swatting flies away from the food under the sneeze guard. I nearly walked out. There was one server for the entire dining room. The food itself was abysmal. I don't understand how there were as many tables eating as there were because it was terrible. I hope to never have to return. read more

A nice, casual place to eat. Lunch service is quick. They give you a complimentary bucket of pickles and slaw for the table. The food is great and the place always looks clean. My only issue is that the prices are not ideal with the proportions. I paid $16 for a small sized tuna fish sandwich that I could have made myself or got cheaper elsewhere. Bowls of soup are $8. This is not a place you want to go if you're on a budget. read more

upon arriving at the parking lot off the street in a strip mall, we found a parking place right away for lunch. I had a sloppy Joe burger that came with french fries onion, tomato, lettuce, and a pickle and on the burger was Russian dressing and coleslaw. I expected something completely different, but it was still very good. They asked me how I wanted my burger I said medium well. My girlfriend got a pastrami sandwich with of course coleslaw on the top of it. Coleslaw is no mayo just vinegar and carrots pickles in it. my burger was delicious. It was medium towards the end, but the service was good. The people were nice. Very large place. Plenty of tables to sit at. read more

Probably my favorite deli in the area. Pastrami and beef tongue dressed with Cole slaw and dressing with a nice fried knish. Nothing.... I mean nothing beats it. read more

Came here with my dad on Father's Day, and we were very pleased. I don't keep kosher myself, but I love supporting kosher delis - and this one is truly special. We ordered the kishka in gravy, the tongue sandwich (served with mustard), and the pastrami between two potato pancakes (with applesauce on the side). Everything was delicious, hearty, and full of flavor. They also bring complimentary pickles and sauerkraut for the table--my dad liked the pickles so much he asked for a container to take them home! Highly recommend this awesome deli. We'll be back read more

I went here for the first time today, guy at the counter said their pastrami and corned beef were great, recommended half & half, which I guess is called a Sloppy Joe. Pastrami and corned beef, with a layer of coleslaw in the middle. Sure, whatever...I went with the recommendation. They rang me up - $25 for the sandwich, $30 out the door with a bag of chips and a modest tip. Ladies and gentlemen, this was a simple little sandwich - regular-sized sliced rye bread, with a relatively generous amount of meat & coleslaw, but nothing like a Katz's pastrami or those big ass kosher deli sandwiches you see photos of. It was, indeed, tasty...and I ate it in about 5 minutes. Wasn't stuffed or anything...basically, felt like I ate a $15 sandwich, and that's honestly on the high side. In the Philly area, $15 gets you a huge hoagie, you fill up with half and eat the rest later. $17.50 for the iconic Angelo's cheesesteak...and you're happy about it. Still thinking about it a couple weeks later. Welp, my $30 got me a cute and admittedly tasty little sandwich on sliced bread and a small bag of chips...and I'll still be scratching my head about it a couple weeks from now. read more

Deli King - This is a $25 sandwich. - Delis Near Me - Clark, New Jersey

It's been 15 years since my last Yelp review, so time for an update. I still like Deli King very much, but have to say, it's gotten quite expensive. I got a regular pastrami sandwich and a quart of chicken soup to go with two matzo balls, and it was almost $45. I don't know how some people can afford to eat at these prices. read more

The last 4-5 times the deli platter gets less and less meat. No olives or bread is included anymore. It's $24.99. Also today there was new supervisor I've never seen and he was micromanaging the staff in the front of the house to the point of being rude. Not cool to be so loud in front of customers for such non items. I won't be back. read more

The prices are ridiculous, especially for the low quality they put out, not to mention they charge you for a condiment that should come with it, bought a pound of pastrami. They slice it behind the counter so you don't see it. You take it home with shredded and it's $42 a pound. Shame on them. read more

I had a pastrami sandwich and it was divine, this deli stands behind it's name every thing served is awesome. If you ever visit the township of Clark NJ do make a stop here! you will not regret it!. Besides their outstanding food, the staff is wonderful, and they give back to the community they serve love you all and thanks for your great service!. Josette clark resident read more

The sandwich maker wasn't the friendliest. I went in wanting a sloppy joe, but the menu didn't list any variations. I ended up asking for corned beef and turkey with coleslaw on rye and Russian dressing. Since I don't order sloppy joes often, I wasn't entirely sure what they typically include and forgot to ask for Swiss cheese. A bit frustrating that it's not clearly outlined on the menu. The meat quality was excellent, but the price was steep--$27 for a sandwich and chips. read more

Deli King - Turkey, corn, beef, coleslaw, and Russian dressing on rye - Delis Near Me - Clark, New Jersey

Deli King makes excellent corn, beef, and pastrami combination sandwiches very fresh reasonably priced excellent sloppy Joe's.

Hard to believe but my pastrami on rye was very dry. How does that happen? Should have had the hot dog! Very disappointing.

Firstly, 5 STARS for the food and 5 STARS for our waiter! Zero stars for the worker that prompted the writing of this review. My wife and I have visited Deli King several times, and the food has consistently been excellent. Service is usually very good as well -- we are often served by the same tall, soft-spoken waiter with tattoos who is professional and attentive (I wish I had his name because he deserves recognition). Unfortunately, our most recent visit ended on a very negative note due to the behavior of another staff member. We were dining with my wife's elderly aunt, and we had brought two small containers of mustard because the mustard served by the restaurant is too spicy for her. As we were finishing lunch, a stocky-built employee (possibly a server or busboy) approached our table and abruptly grabbed the containers, declaring, "That's not kosher," without greeting us, asking questions, or speaking respectfully. The interaction escalated to the point where I actually had to take the containers back from his grip myself -- an uncomfortable and completely unnecessary situation that should never happen between staff and guests. It also left me wondering how he could determine whether something was kosher or not without even asking. A simple, polite statement such as, "We don't allow outside food or beverages," would have been sufficient. Instead, the level of emotion and intensity made the situation feel unpredictable, and I genuinely was not sure how this mild confrontation was going to play out. Fortunately, there was a police car parked outside, which at least provided some reassurance had things escalated further. I fully understand and respect the concept of not bringing outside food into a restaurant, especially one that maintains kosher standards. My concern is not about the policy itself, but about the aggressive and unprofessional way this situation was handled. There are far more respectful and diplomatic ways to address a concern with guests, including speaking calmly or consulting our waiter. To be clear, the one-star rating reflects this final interaction and the experience at the end of our visit -- not the quality of the food or the professionalism of our regular waiter, both of which have always been excellent. Deli King serves great food, but management should seriously address how staff interact with customers. No guest should feel policed or disrespected at their table. read more

Pretty solid spot and it's kosher too. The food is really good and high quality, especially the subs, which are definitely a standout. The main caveat is the price it's very expensive, so keep that in mind, especially if you're coming with a large group. Service is decent, and the place itself is clean and well-kept. Not sure how they source their ingredients, but it's clear they focus on quality. It's a staple in Clark and worth checking out just be prepared for the price tag. read more

Amazing sit-in service. The complimentary pickle and salad were awesome to snack on and add to my sandwich. Got a regular hot pastrami with mustard. It was. It was a tad dry but nothing the mustard and pickled salad couldn't fix. Staff were on point; always checking in on me. The seating was lovely inside. Parking on premises. And they accept card. Highly recommend! read more

We love Deli King of Clark! My daughter has a dairy allergy so there is no restaurant that I trust more than here. We love the turkey and beef stuffed cabbage. My daughter loves the fried flounder sandwich. The matzo ball soup with noodles is delicious. In the winter we have it at least once a week. The noodle kugel is also great. I catered my daughter's 1st birthday party from here as well: sandwiches platters, deviled eggs, mini knishes. It was great. The staff there are also so friendly. When I came in with my daughter, they helped me carry out the items to my car. read more

Wow. This place is really good. Service was friendly, helpful, and very thorough! It was so easy placing a catering order over the phone... (I wish I remember her name!) Food was delivered promptly, presentation was beautiful.. and most importantly, the food was PHENOMENAL! Sloppy Joes were so fresh, all of the meat was so tender, the cole slaw on the sandwich was DELICIOUS... the Russian dressing was perfect balance of sweet and savory... macaroni salad was a nice accompaniment to my sandwich.. Oh yeah, one of the best chopped liver sandwiches that I've tasted. When I'm on the Parkway, I will be taking a detour to Clark when I get a pang for a Kosher deli. read more

This is an absolutely classic, kosher deli with excellent service, exemplary meats, breads, and salads. My potato knish was expertly made, and perfectly seasoned. This place is a throwback to the days when large portions at decent prices with cheerful service was the rule. read more

Ordered for take-out: The best kosher Sloppy Joes (the layered deli type) on the planet.

All of their food has consistantly been excellent for many years. read more

Overall great sandwich with table service. Potato pancakes was more like a mashed potato that was breaded and deep fried. Not traditional. . I would order the sandwich again, but not the pancake. read more

Nice tasting sandwiches but a tick pricey. Although I know it's kinda in the range of area sandwiches but 7 oz vs 8 is the diff. IMHO. Comes with a choice of pickles too. I'm local so I be back quite a bit. Pleasant staff as well. Nice selections. read more

Nothing Classic about this place. The guy waiting on you in a WHITE T-SHIRT. When He can not wear a collared shirt??? What a disgrace for this place with good food. And 1/2 sour pickles ordered means putting 1/2 sour pickles in the bag, not the other ones. What is so hard about that?? Oh I know, he can't dress the part of a deli worker, so how can he remember something simple like that? read more

This is my first time at this restaurant. I stood there patiently because I didn't know where to order from. I saw everyone else had been waited on. Finally someone comes to the counter and I asked is this where I order. The man looked around and over me. Next next is what he says. I said everyone have been waited on. He stood there looked at me sarcastically. OK what do you want?! I ordered my food. He walked away. Came back with a sandwich and charge me $20. He gave me this. read more

Nothing fancy about it but it is so reminiscent of the Kosher Delis from my childhood. The variety of items and the various smells bring me back and in a very good way. The pastrami sandwich was very good as was the chicken soup and the coleslaw. If you are searching for that old time deli experience (and you're not in the 5 boroughs) then this place will accomplish that. Friendly service and plenty of parking! read more

always consistent, always delicious. You can order from the counter for takeout or sit down and have a waiter. Pickles and salad on the table as you would expect from a fabulous Jewish deli and Dr. Brown's celray and cream soda available in a can. Perfect perfection. read more

I was pleasantly surprised to find this hidden gem in Clark, NJ. As a 4th generation Brooklyn raised jew I definitely appreciate a good jewish deli which seem to be harder and harder to find these days. We sat in the dining room which was nicely renovated and had a cool almost art deco vibe. Started off with a bowl of the matzoh ball soup which was delicious and perfectly executed. My only complain was it only came with 1 ball but that is an easy fix for next time - an extra ball is just another $0.95 and I think well worth the investment. I had the regular sized pastrami + corned beef sandwich. The meat was amazing. Perfect amount of seasoning and the texture and temperature were just right. The rye bread was perfect as well. The sandwich had a ton of meat. The "junior" size is basically the same sandwich, just less meat (probably what a normal sized human should eat, but I'm 250lbs so the "regular" was good for me!) The sour pickles, cole slaw (not mayo based which I loved!!), and great service rounded out an excellent experience. We will be back for more!!!!! read more

We had the pleasure of dining here today as a group of around 15 after my grandmother's funeral. The staff here was incredibly accommodating to our group, on point with everyone's order, and incredibly friendly & helpful. Our meal started off with generous portions of health salad and pickles, which were fresh and delicious. I had a sloppy Joe (the North Jersey rendition) with pastrami and corned beef. The meal was hot and plentiful and as delicious anything I've had outside of New York City and Los Angeles. I bought some delicious knishes and desserts to bring home. All told a great first experience and great send-off lunch for my grandma! read more

Good, fresh pastrami is hard to find at NJ delis, but Deli King did not disappoint. Asked for lean, got lean. Tender and tasty. The slaw and pickles at the table are perfect to nosh while waiting.

So disappointing. One sandwich+one sour pickle = 25 dollars. I don't mind spending extra for a quality meal, but this did not meet the price. The quality of the meat was poor and the bread was hard. I work down the road and I was hoping this would be my new spot. read more

I used to love this place. Came in for the first time in a couple years for a pastrami sandwich. Was 21$... ok fine I think to myself proves have gone up everywhere and I know I'll get one beast of a sandwich!!... boy was I wrong!!! I swear the lady used the tiny ends of the loaf for this thing. And man they do not stack them like they used to. Paid 21$ for a sandwich I was still very hungry after.... If you're going to charge 21$ for a sandwich at least make it worth is. Very sad, very cheap of them. read more

Great service and The best sandwiches in NJ. Staff at Deli King top notch. If you are looking for over stuff sandwiches, this the spot !

The coleslaw is to die for!! And that means a lot bc I usually hate coleslaw. I'd also recommend their kugel and salami sandwich.

First time at this place, & I actually went there after seeing the reviews here on Yelp. Nice place, friendly staff, & most importantly the sandwich I had was delicious. I got a "Number one sloppy" as they called it. It was a Corned Beef and Pastrami sloppy joe. I will definitely go back, & try some of the other SJ variations too. read more
