JJ Delicatessen has an excellent assortment of meats, cheeses and dried goods, many from European countries like Germany and Poland. My girlfriend and I ordered sandwiches on a Saturday morning. We had to wait a little over twenty minutes, and the woman advised that next time we call our orders in ahead of time because the hot sandwiches take awhile. So that's your tip for the day. But they were worth waiting for. Fairly priced, excellent quality, and came with a few sides. I got the Polish sandwich special and my girlfriend got the Mediterranean sandwich special. There is a small seating area in the deli, but we took them with us and ate them in the car. It was a great lunch that we ate right before an afternoon of hiking at High Point State Park in NJ. Highly recommend this deli!

The reviews were glowing, and the photos had my mouth watering, so I had to give it a shot. As someone born and raised in Philly, I'm extremely picky about my cheesesteaks. Let me tell you, this one hit the spot. The steak was perfectly seasoned, the cheese was melty and generous, and the roll? Absolute perfection.....just the right amount of chew without being too soft. Every bite was exactly what a cheesesteak should be. If you're craving a legit cheesesteak, Fat Daddies is the real deal. I'd give it six stars if I could. Will definitely be back next time I'm in town! Next time I'll take pictures I gobbled it down in the car. no crumbs left.

I wanted a place to meet a family member in the area. While, she didn't know about this spot, her adult children/friends did, at least one being a coffee connoisseur! We were looking for coffee where we could sit down and chat & with her dog; this is THE place! It was a hot day and mid afternoon so she enjoyed a strawberry smoothie, and I had a large iced tea and appreciated that they could put it in my own cup. The service was friendly as you'd expect in 'the country.' We also shared a strawberry muffin that tasted like spring as we sat outside. The dog also seemed to appreciate the lovely breeze. Great atmosphere with a surprising amount of seating in and outside even as it doesn't appear that large from the outside. I did see a nice list of sandwiches, but had already eaten my sandwich at the S2H vista. We did see a steady flow of neighbors come and go; the parking lot, while three-quarter full was still ample. More reasons to go back to the area to hike, & connect with family at this coffee stop & more. A respite.

Not a great photo of to go cappuccino, flat white, and 2/5 of blueberry coffee cake. Yum!

Ordered the soup/salad combo for $10.95 and Crab Cake for $13.95. Salad was decent size, but mostly red and romaine lettuce, 4 slices cucumber with skin on, lotsa large slices red onion and 4 halves of inedible underripe tomato. Good ranch dressing. Crab cake was flat as a pancake, awful, mushy, bready, greasy, no crab taste at all. Only flavor was red pepper. I left 3/4 of it. So $29.85 for lunch for 1 person before gratuity. Really expected a very good crab cake at a "fish" restaurant. Sorry, I really try and support small businesses, but cannot recommend Balch's.

The large portion of clams came in a hearty garlic broth made from the clams' juice, and accompanied by two large crostinis. The meatloaf screamed homemade.... moist, rich, and flavorful. The mashed potatoes that accompanied it had homemade texture and taste. The half Cobb salad had ideal portions of egg, bacon, avocado, blue cheese, all along with a tasty vinaigrette.

My husband and I stopped in over the weekend and nobody was wearing masks. If a business doesn't have courtesy enough for their customers, I don't have to give them the courtesy of spending my money there any longer. Such a shame since they do have good items.

They employ an old deli trick of piling the meat in the center of the sandwich which when cut in half makes it look like it has more meat than it really does. The recent Jersey sandwich which contains corned beef, roast beef and turkey had only two slices of corned beef. 2. Different employees will charge or not charge sales tax on the sandwiches and prepared salads. 3. The baked goods are very over priced. I mean come on, $12.95 for a 7 in. by 7 in. crumb cake (yes I measured it).. On the plus side all the employees I've encountered are always courteous and hard working. My wife likes the prepared salads but they are now over $10.00. If the price increases continue at the current rate I will have to go elsewhere although in Sussex county the choices are limited.

It was incredibly satisfying to slide into a booth and immediately be enveloped in the warmth and hospitality of this restaurant after such a cold and tiring morning. We both got the meatloaf platter which was on special. It came with two slices of meatloaf smothered in gravy, two slices of homemade bread smothered in butter, and three sides: fries, cole slaw and corn. It was hearty and delicious. Our waitress was far and away one of the kindest and friendliest people I've ever met. She made our experience a thousand times better. As others have mentioned, cash only so be prepared!
