When you first come in this place it looks like your average gas station, but when you look past the appearance you will see the beauty of this store. I personally live fairly close to this store so I have had the pleasure of coming here countless times, which means that I have had many opportunities to try different meals. The first thing I will recommend is the Philly cheese steak. It has a beautiful melted cheese.And the steak so indescribably delicious once you try it yo will be hooked on Elmer's for ever. The pizza is most enjoyable with pepperoni but is good all around. The pepperoni is salty and has some spice but just the perfect amount. The dough is soft and relaxing while blending nicely with the melty droopy cheese. Overall I really like this "gas station" but its atmosphere takes off some points along with the setting. read more

Updating my review. I had a great first experience so I went back and was disappointed in my sandwich. The chicken was so hard that I couldn't even bite into it and I got rid of the chicken and just ate the rest of the sandwich. I will give them another try. read more

I would not recommend this place. The food isn't bad, I ordered a pizza and a bagel with egg and cheese. The problem is the pricing. I was charged 6.20$ just for a bagel with egg and cheese, and the crazy part, I was charged $6 for a slice of pizza !!!!!! Insane. I would not recommend this place. Sorry food was good but too expensive for the portion. read more

I find this store convenient when I'm looking for something quick to grab for the road or to bring home. Their breakfast sandwiches are amazing (they get their bread from Rockland Bakery) so I'm able to get my favorite bagel without having to make the trek. Their coffee is nice and strong and they have several varieties to pick from. I've found the sandwiches to be hit or miss so I now stick to the basics and avoid the fancy combinations. They serve hot Spanish food for lunch during the week days. It draws in a lot of the landscapers from the area as someone else pointed out during the lunch hour so the wait can be a bit stiff and parking can be challenging. Apart from the food they have tons of snacks, gadgets and an ample selection of beverages. They have a gas station right on site if needed which is a nice bonus. read more

The food tastes like hospital food I ordered pork stew with rice and beans, it was terrible read more

Ive been going here since i was 6 now 68 years old its one of my best memories as a kid life was so simple back then Paul Williams 8 Hess Ct

A solid 3 stars on this one. They are a convenience store and a deli all rolled into one. I have a had some good lunches from here and some I would like to forget. They get very busy at lunch and parking can be tight. They have a grill, deli and hot Spanish food station. Also they have indoor and outdoor seating too which is nice. The prices are reasonable for the area which is always a plus. read more

See all

Beware- they don't wear masks, even when asked to! We ordered and noticed that none of the cooks had masks on while handling the food. When we asked nicely for a refund because we were not comfortable, the woman at the cashier explained that she didn't care and refused! read more

The deli will charge you a different price everyday for the same sandwich i saved receipts to prove it

Local, fast, and I love their gas prices. Much cheaper than exxon or getty up the road. Their deli selections are yummy, especially their BLTs. Like the Dairy Queen on Chestnut Ridge, this is a hot spot for kids after school as their is no main street in Upper Saddle River or Saddle River, so this tends to be the hang out spot for locals and out of townees. Landscapers, contractors and workers often get their lunch and grub here, and the gas attendant is relatively attentive. Parking during peak is difficult and sometimes have to circle around the street corner till a spot opens up due to the big rigs and landscaping trucks that pull in to rest. They have plenty of hot Spanish food and coffee and typical deli prices, and outdoor seating if you prefer. read more

For a local deli it's great. Convenient store but town spot where you see locals. You can also sit at the high top and eat. There are also tables k. The back to sit while you eat. Overall great spot. Clean Also. read more

So this guys screws up my sandwich in the morning and then I come back and he tells me IM BOTHERING HIM? Screw you asshole you messed up my sandwich. Who puts vinegar on a Taylor ham egg and cheese. I asked for hot sauce and my sandwich had PINK coloring on it. When I showed him he said that's the hot sauce. Liar! I had to come back and you tell me "what's wrong with you today" I said "excuse me what did you say" he goes "what you just wanted to come in here and bother me" then he throws my sandwich in a bag! Don't eat here EVER. Find the next spot or anywhere else! read more

I like to go here sometimes to get candy, snacks, and drinks. This store does have a lot of things that I like!

Stopped in for cold cuts. Got ham and turkey. When I was walking out of the store I smelled something bad but didn't think anything of it. When I got into the car my family noticed a smell too. The cold cuts were BAD! That can really make someone sick! Our money was refunded but there was no attempt at an apology. read more

Staff was incredibly rude to me and my daughter. Obviously they don't care about customers returning. I won't.

i ordered the Buffalo chicken salad for lunch today. By far the worst salad I've ever had in my life. Chicken was ice cold and it seemed like it was just frozen before it was served. Overall very disappointed read more

This is a great place to stop for a quick bite. I've had the breakfast and lunch here and it never disappointed. The food comes out fresh and is very delicious. The staff is friendly and always willing to accommodate my requests. The owners are involved in the business and I see them there a lot making sure everything is being operated to a high standard. read more

I hate Elmer's, always did, they have poor customer service and b/c they are the only vendor in town they take advantage of this and treat their customers very poorly. The school uses them for the kids lunches and when the lunches get canceled because of bad weather, they refuse to give refunds, credits, or a replacement lunch even after I received an e-mail from the school saying that they would do this. read more

Want to feel like an outsider when you should feel like a local? Come over to Elmer's. Cold staff consistent enough to drive away my business. Sad! read more

Working Christmas Eve?! This was the only place open! This is probably due to the fact that it's a gas station, convenience store, and deli. It sells lotto and you know that's a good stocking stuffer on this particular night. The place was actually kind of busy when I went in. The deli had a few customers ahead of me and behind me. Nothing insane, all quite manageable! I ordered a sandwich off of their vast array of goodies. Couldn't quite make my mind up on what I wanted. I knew I was going to be doing an evening of delectable food so didn't want to ruin that. I also knew I was going to be drinking my you know what off, so I needed something in the system! Went with a club sandwich, forgot to ask for mayo....who does that?! Thankfully without my knowing...it was already on. It was filling and did an exemplary job. I do think that this will be on my places of where to go from now. I wish I could have tried a few other things, but there's time for that...after all, it's a new year!! read more

Great quality food. Great small town country store feeling. I've been coming here for years and they never cease to provide great customer service. read more

Awesome food and so many drinks and snacks one of the best country stores/Gass stations

WOW What an improvement over the original store that was falling down and dirty inside and out. This place is new, clean and great. The head grill cook is awesome and really takes it up a notch for a local deli. They have specials and fresh home made soups that he makes everyday. I get in there in the early morning and they take great care to get my orders right every time. I call in orders for the my guys for lunch and they are always right, not like most other places. They have flavored coffees and all kinds of snacks in the connivence store part. I can even fill up the trucks at the gas pumps while they make me a quick snack ! I really like the improvements from the old business. It's a great place for dads to take their kids on the weekends and get them hooked on taylor ham, egg and cheese sandwiches. JC read more

Elmer's has really great food. It is the perfect place to stop by after school and get something to eat. If you're hungry after school, this is the place to go! It is also convenient if you live nearby and need to grab food when you're in a rush. They even have a gas station in case your car is low on gas! Elmer's is a great place to take your whole family. It is quick, inexpensive, and delicious. If you want to sit, they have tables in the back for you to sit at. Their staff is welcoming and friendly to all. Upper Saddle River loves Elmer's! read more

The food was really good but the delivery service was Terrible. We'll order again but will pick up instead.

Elmers is a traditional symbol of upper saddle river New Jersey its famous for its BEC (bacon egg and cheese) and has literally every snack and drink that you can imagine I highly recommend it read more

This place is amazing. It's one of the "best kept secrets" in Bergen County. Their menu is great. Their bagels, deli meats, salads, and platters are probably the equalivent of an upscale deli. Very attentive cooks and everyone is always friendly. First time I ordered from here, I just wanted a quick fix because I was hungry. Now I'm obsessed. Must give this place a try read more

For a store that had been falling apart a few years ago, the reincarnation of this store is probably as good as a local deli in northern NJ gets. The cooks and employees all take good note of your order, and only once has my order been messed up. To be honest it wasn't even that big of a deal either because I ended up loving the sandwich anyway. They use great ingredients and the prices are about in line what you'd expect of a deli. It's not cheap nor expensive. The only downside as this is a small kitchen, and the only place within Upper Saddle River that actually has a kitchen... it can get overwhelmed at times. It's best to call ahead and place your order, as you can be waiting for for awhile. read more

In such a small town where there isn't much - this place is a life saver. Milk, sandwiches, snacks, breakfast food. Love this place

Swarms of kids after school! Disruptive and mean spirited. They actually try and bar adult customers from entering the store. On a recent visit, a kid was swinging a snow shovel in the vicinity of my face. He laughed as I tried to get away from him. The owners of the place are afraid of the kids. The parents wait out in the parking lot for the mayhem to calm down. This place is not worth reviewing as it is almost impossible to get past these hoods to get to the deli counter. STAY AWAY !! read more

This place is so cute! Love the look outside and the cooked food is amazing! However, the lines do grow long so it is best to order beforehand, if you are in a rush, to make sure that you can get your food and get back to work in a timely fashion. read more

Typically this place is amazing. However we came in one day to get breakfast sandwiches to go and while the bagel, egg, and cheese was cut the meat was not. This made it impossible to eat and rendering the sandwich useless for why we come in the first place- to eat on the go in the car. read more

A great place to stop for lunch. I try and stop there once a week and get a cheeseburger with french fries it is very juicy and the french fries have a nice flavor I would recommend this place read more
