Millburn has no shortage of delis, but Goldberg's Famous Deli is definitely at the top of the list. Goldberg's offers deli traditional favorites like fresh-baked bagels, lox, and sandwiches piled high with deli meats, as well as healthier options like salads when you want something lighter in an unapologetically casual ambiance. Goldberg's has been a local staple in Millburn since Tina and Marty Goldberg first opened the doors back in July 1977. The current owners took over in December 2022 and have done a fantastic job keeping the soulful and "old-school" Jewish-style deli spirit alive while making many subtle but meaningful improvements that today's diners expect and appreciate. However, it still has that authentic, "old-school deli" ambiance where you order at the counter then grab a table to wait for your meal and could end up with mismatched silverware. It's charmingly low-key and with a focus entirely on the food. The deli sandwiches are massive and the quality of the ingredients is consistently high. Unfortunately, that also means that the prices are somewhat higher than you might expect. A single deli sandwich served with a small bag of potato chips is in the $20-$22 range, which feels like a bit of a splurge for a casual lunch. That said.. You definitely won't leave hungry and the portion sizes encourage sharing or taking half of your dish home for a second meal. My dining companion and I split the West Orange sandwich, made with corned beef, turkey, russian dression, and cole slaw, on rye bread, which was excellent. We'll definitely be back. PRO TIP #1: Bring your wallet. I do feel obligated to point out that Goldberg's should be rated as a $$ / moderate price range (indicating $11 to $30 per person) rather than a $ / inexpensive price range (indicating under $10 per person). PRO TIP #2: While they don't have a private lot, there is plenty of on-street parking and municipal lots nearby. Use the mPay2Park app for the pay-by-plate meters ($0.50 per hour). Meters operate Monday through Saturday from 8am to 7pm; all street meters are free after 7 pm and all day Sunday. If the street is full, the Essex Street parking deck (24 Lackawanna Place) is a reliable backup. read more

Great bagels and delicious spreads..Great service..Highly recommended..Bruce Pomerantz. ..5 Stars

I love a good local deli and bagel spot! When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked in and was greeted, and Teama and some of the other staff helped me. The place was busy. I ordered: Hazelnut coffee Chicken tenders and fries Whole wheat flagel turkey bacon egg and cheese Mexican Tuna Turkey on a hoagie I really loved that Mexican tuna! Everything was great all in all! read more

Delicious, hot, soft, fresh bagels. Baked goods also were very good. We tried the chocolate crumb cake and it was amazing! The ambiance is awesome, there's plenty of table seating inside and out. They have fresh squeezed orange juice. Super cool spot for breakfast and lunch. I'd love to go back. Kind and friendly service. A lot of bakery and tea options. read more

Not sure why there's so many negative reviews (perhaps ownership changed hands recently?), but I got a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich on a toasted salt bagel, two additional bagels, and a hash brown, for delivery this morning to South Orange. BEC sando was perfectly made. Toasty, salfy, chewy bagel, perfectly cooked bacon, with melty white American cheese and eggs. I guess some places can mess this up, but mine was pretty damn good (halfway through I thought, "yeah, I'd reorder this"). And even though DoorDash delivery said it was 25 minutes from pickup to delivery, it was still piping hot when it arrived (even though DD didn't follow the delivery directions and left it in my building's lobby...1/5 rating for DoorDash, which is outside of this Yelp review). Can't speak for the two bagels I ordered yet as I'm going to have them for breakfast tomorrow morning with the missus. The hash brown was moist/damp but that's because it was deep fried and wrapped, so it basically steamed itself during delivery. I revived it in my air fryer and it ended up being a pretty crisp and delish hash brown. 5/5, I'll definitely be reordering from Goldberg's. read more

I was visiting a bakery on the other side of the block but couldn't find what I wanted for breakfast, so I walked over to visit Goldberg's as it was on my list to check out. And of course they had what I desired - taylor ham, egg, and cheese bagel. Got in through the side door as it was a bit drizzling this morning. Didn't know where to start but was pleasantly directed by a guy at the bagel station. Order was simple, got an iced coffee togo and the sando was done. Brought to the car to enjoy. Sando was made just as I ordered it; chewy bagel with slight toast, good amount of ham and the egg was not overcooked. Decent size for the price. Definitely want to come back next week and bring my daughter. read more

Decent everything bagel but you have to get it toasted (almost extra if to go) otherwise it really gets soggy... loved the salmon cream cheese and copious amounts of onions and capers. I had good service from a young lady when I went however my mother (the nicest person ever) had a horrendous experience with someone whom we believe to be the owner ?! Appreciate they have fresh OJ (the machine is there), but overall missing the chew and bite you want from a good jersey bagel. read more

The food and service here is exceptional! Best bagel I have ever had - breakfast lunch or a la carte style. The ambiance is lovely! Space to sit in or outside. If I could give 6 stars I would!!! Great fresh OJ too. read more

Goldberg'S Famous Deli - Taylor Ham, Egg, and Cheese Sandwich - Bagels Near Me - Millburn, New Jersey

Jersey City is a culinary powerhouse, but when bagels are involved, I wish I was back on Union Turnpike in Queens in the 80s and 90s. (Now I'm one step away from claiming I played stickball on Avenue U and attended Brooklyn Dodgers games.) So I will travel for first-rate bagels like the meticulously crafted offerings at Goldberg's. In addition to the excellent lox platter, with a robust supporting performance by the pickles, I enjoyed a complimentary sample of French toast. Goldberg's should appeal to traditionalists, but maybe not purists, with a menu encompassing matzo ball soup as well as Taylor ham. There's a great neighborhood vibe with first-rate service. read more

I asked for a corned beef and pastrami special. They didn't know what that was but when I explained it to them they made it perfectly. It was a great sandwich with quality ingredients. The bagels looked amazing but I didn't get any. I will definitely stop by again when I'm in the area. read more

The bagels here are ok. Passable. They are decently chewy and have an alright flavor, but lack a crusty exterior and could be saltier and use more malt syrup. The service is always good, you will be served quickly, and the staff is nice. I like that there is a good amount of seating both indoors and outdoors - good spot to grab a bagel with a friend. read more

Goldberg'S Famous Deli - Everything bagel with tuna salad and tomato. - Bagels Near Me - Millburn, New Jersey

My boyfriend and I ordered here for a late breakfast. We got a taylor ham egg and cheese on a sesame, poppyseed with jalapeño cream cheese and a roast beef and turkey sandwich. Both bagels were wrong. They taylor ham egg and cheese came on an everything but was still tasty. The everything bagel was a little chewy but not badThe jalapeño cream cheese was on a sesame bagel. The sesame bagel was a little dry. The bagels here are flatter than what I'm used to. The sandwich was pretty good. The food was good but service was ok. read more

I had this store's bagels when I was donating blood for the American Red Cross. I was feeling weak after donating blood and was given a bagel with cream cheese. I couldn't believe how fresh, soft and chewy the bagel was. I inquired where the bagels were purchased. They told me it was Goldberg's Deli in Millburn. I have found my FAVORITE bagel place. read more

If you say you're going to be open until 3 PM you should be open until 3 PM. I drove all the way over there and arrived at 2:44. The door was locked. The lights were on people were inside and no one would come to the door. This is not a good way to run a business. read more

Update: Have had very good food (egg sandwiches) and customer service. Everyone was very accommodating and friendly.

They aren't a good restauran. I order from them on doordash and after after i ordered from them they were trying to charge my card three different times before they called me which i think is but right you should let the customer know when you are charging them for something else. read more

There were lots of choices on the menu. I ordered a bagel and cream cheese. I was slightly disappointed because I thought there could have been more cream cheese. I like the NY style where they really slop it on thick. The sandwiches my family ordered were all fresh and they said they were delicious. The place was a bit squished a tight, but there was seating. The owner talked to us and was super friendly! read more

Bagels are always delicious and service is great. Recently had a flagel with CC and lox which was delicious.

I've never been here before. Not even before the flood of Ida that destroyed this place. I decided to give them a try. Glad I did. It's now my go to place for Taylor ham egg and cheese bagel on Saturdays. I also get their super cinnamon raisin bagel that I eat as is with nothing on it. The eggs are not greasy and everything tastes so fresh. They charge 4% for credit cards but that's fine. I've gotten a crumb cake from them but I think all these bagel and deli shops get it from the same place because they look and taste the same. There is indoor and outdoor dining. The management is very friendly and keeps on top of the staff. I recommend this place. Also the prices are in line with all the others. I will be back and have already been back. read more

This place has decent bagels but is nonetheless not a place I can recommend. Let's start with the service: Two stars tops.....indifferent and abrupt, except that the staff seems to step up when the owner (who is a very good, and competent, guy) is physically present. One is apt to stand at the counter waiting an aeon for someone take the order...even when no customer is in front of you and two or three guys are working behind it. On three occasions over the past year, most recently today, I waited to the point where my considerable patience (I am actually pretty chill) was exhausted and I just walked out. That was strike 3. Now you might ask, fairly, "why not speak up?" In reply, I would say "because you shouldn't have to." I'd rate the food four star, but definitely not worth the wildly inflated prices or the utter disregard for customer service. Skip it. read more

Favorite bagels in NJ! A little chewy with a crust. Very popular with great customer service read more

Staff was kind and understanding when my special needs child threw her toy under the fridge And on top of that, my Long Island sandwich was excellent Thank you for being kind read more

Their dine in experience was good. Last time we were there we dined outside and had lunch - the salads were really delicious. My son was ill this morning so I couldn't venture out so I placed an order for 3 bagel sandwiches on DoorDash to be delivered. I am a regular DoorDasher and have ordered a lot from many other restaurants. Goldberg's Doordash menu is quite possibly the least intuitive DoorDash menu I've seen. The first thing that appears under the "Bagels" section are standalone individual bagels like "Plain bagel $1.69". Right there within that item there should be a drop down menu to pick "no topping, plain cream cheese, scallion cream cheese, toasted /not toasted etc) but if you want all that you have to notice a separate tab called "bagel sandwiches" with items like "bagel with butter or bagel with scallion cream cheese." Needless to say I was in a rush and didn't have time to look through the entire menu. In any case despite what I ordered - they got my order wrong. Instead of the whole wheat everything bagel that I ordered - I got a plain whole wheat. Instead of onion bagel sandwich - I got everything bagel. For a famous long-standing deli - you would think these basics wouldn't be so hard. And 3 bagels were nearly $30. Way too expensive. Come on guys you can do better. If you ran out of these items, you should have at least called and explained / offered me a credit. I will definitely not order bagels from here again. read more

Two bagels with cream cheese for roughly $13. Little too pricey if I want a bagel semi regularly. The bagel was mediocre and the veggie cream cheese had lots of carrots making for a very crunchy bite. You go to 3 different counter spots to order, pay, and pick up (none labeled well)...so you essentially spend half your time asking staff where to go. read more

So I really can't believe this place doesn't have 5 stars. The woman who took my order on the phone was very friendly and helpful, the people who helped me when I went in were great too. I'm not sure who in their right mind goes into a bagel place/deli expecting "ambiance" but the place is a charming old school deli. The food is DELICIOUS! I had Nova with cream cheese, tomato and cucumbers on an everything bagel and it was amazing. My coworker had a sloppy joe which was great too. We ordered two knishes and they're huge!! And very yummy. Also some other reviewer had an issue with the portion size, I don't understand that. The sandwiches were super filling and I thought the pricing was very fair. All in all 10/10 and we'll definitely be ordering again!! read more

Such amazing bagels!! We didn't get to try their sandwiches, but they looked amazing. We had the bagels, bagel sandwiches, and the Lox Plate. All of them were 5 out of 5 stars!! My only complaint is that $1.35 a bagel, I feel like I'm ripping them off. They should really be charging $3 or $4 a bagel!!! read more

The turkey bacon, scramble egg and hash brown platter is really fresh and tasty. Hot pastrami on rye wasn't that bad it was ok.

Having been here many times I was for the first tome disappointed that at 8:15 am they were out of many bagel choices. Especially the most popular. I felt a lack of friendliness when I asked a question. Staff seemed very overworked and stressed. Maybe they need more help. read more

Great food and service highly recommend very accommodating services if any food allergies!

Not the the best bagels around. Bagels are not soft or chewy. Recommend Bagels Supreme in Springfield for the best bagels around. Goldberg's has In- store advertising for Early Bird Specials - Monday - Friday 7-11AM - 2 eggs any style w/hash browns, bagel or Bread ....$5.95. On a Tuesday at about 10AM, I ordered a cheese omelet thinking it met the definition of "eggs any style". I was wrong. The special does not include omelets, and I was charged $11.95. FALSE ADVERTISING. And the manager refused to acknowledge that. I will never set foot in this store again. read more

Horrible service. Messed up 2/3 sandwiches I ordered even after I corrected them. Didn't even bother to go back at that point. The one bagel they got correct was just ok. Took them around 20 minutes to make 3 sandwiches with no one else in the store. A Taylor ham sandwich that wasn't even right also had a bacon piece on it, very unclean. The pastrami was trash, very dry. The pickles were just thrown in the bag and leaked everywhere. They just don't care. Go to the deli across the street for better everything. read more

Need to write neater on their tickets because they have overcharged me the last 2 times I have been there. So packed in the morning, the cashier seemed disorganized. Too much commotion in there to even go back in and waste the time getting a $5 refund. watch what they charge. Also they never seem to have tongue even though it's on the menu. I love a good tongue sandwich and find it annoying to go specifically there to get one and most of the time they don't have it. They used to. read more

Very hard to chew bagels. Asked for toasted bagels, but received cold twice, which were cold and not fresh.

Goldberg's menu is overwhelmingly large. I had seen some not-so-great reviews on their bagels, so I figured I'd save the calories/carbs of a bagel, and put it towards a whole wheat wrap and hash brown. I ordered the Power House, which was a wrap with egg whites, cheddar cheese and turkey. To add some indulgence, I added a hash brown inside. This was a solid enough wrap. The egg whites were fluffy, the turkey moist and cut thick, which worked well in the wrap. I think adding the hash brown or something was a much-needed add - without it, the texture would have been too much softness. The hash brown added a nice bit of crunch, which improved. In terms of flavor, I don't know that it's reasonable to expect a whole lot given the ingredients, but it felt like there should be something acidic, so I added a little hot sauce, which made for a nice punch of extra flavor. All in all, not a bad breakfast, and the thing must've weighed at least a pound! read more

When visiting my family in NC, this is my first stop for the usual 4 dozen bagel order because you just can't get 'em this good and my daughter insists on Goldbergs bagels...and I always grab a sandwich or two for myself for the trip. read more

We were in Millburn grabbinig lunch and passed Goldberg's Deli. My friend was telling me that the place has a lot of history but was closed after damage from one of the past storms and it was a re grand opening. We just had a huge lunch and I was stuffed, but just wanted to poke me head in for a peak. It's family owned, and the owners warmly greeted us. We told her that we were just looking around for next time, and she immediately introduced us to the family and told us to look around and take our time. Super sweet! We did end up grabbing a few bagels to try later and good thing we did. They were exactly what a NJ bagel should be. So excited to come back to try the breakfast sandwiches which looked really good. read more
