More than just a great spot for sandwiches. They have home cooked dinners either in the fridge or frozen for you. Simply throw them in the oven and you are eating a home cooked meal for two in an hour for about 10 bucks each. If you want something a little different than what the supermarket offers, these guys have the speciality items that add a little "wow" to your dinner. read more

One of the great Delis in the area. been in business for as long as I can remember. Fantastic true NJ Sloppy Joes, and really fresh food. Party platters, and the BEST home made potato salad ever. They cook the potato's in house, and use top quality "name brand " mayo. You can get it with or without eggs. Plus a full compliment of chips, sodas, and all the other major food groups. If you want to get a sloppy Joe, get there early, as they sell out fast, and every one knows that a really good Sloppy Joe needs to marinate in the fridge for at least 3 to four hours for the true experience. If you're planning a party for that football thing coming up, this is the place for the goods. Oh, and they do some great Italian pasta dishes too. read more

Down home kinda deli -- looks like a family-run establishment, long lines and a huge menu indicate this place has been around awhile. I ordered the turkey bone that came with cranberry sauce and added brie and lettuce to my order... the lettuce was shredded just the way I like on a whole wheat roll. Generous portions, fresh roasted turkey. I wish I had this place in my town. Would definitely go back. read more

Been a good customer here. Went in to pick up a platter; patiently waited where people were "waiting". When it was my turn I was rudely told "the line starts here"; should have been "Who's next?" since there was NO LINE. CJ's for me from now on. read more

best sloppy joe available in new jersey hands down. excellently rare roast beef, and a stupid amount of russian. after soaking in the fridge for the pre-requisite 20 min minimum (if you're unlucky enough to not score a pre-made one), its easily one of the best sandwiches you'll ever have. they also offer great "weekly special" sandwiches, where they take one of their specialty sandwiches and offer it at a reduced price all week. all the subs here are excellent. nothing too fancy, but its a great classic deli. style points for having joe's tea. read more

We came here on a recommendation from a friend who grew up in Chatham. He swore they had THE BEST sloppy Joe here and I think he may be right. So far I've only ever had them at Millburn Deli and Town Hall Deli and this one might be the tastiest. It was definitely the sloppiest (in a good way). It was pretty empty on a Saturday afternoon and took about 10 minutes for the guy to make the sandwich. I read on here that they pre-make the Joes but he made this one fresh. We got the roast beef and turkey Joe to bring back home. Sandwich was ~$10 and cut into three sections. For a $10 sandwich (little on the pricy side for a take out deli sandwich) I kind of wish it had come with a pickle- it would have complemented the sandwich really well. In hindsight we should have bought one of the giant pickles they have in a jar on the counter. The staff was friendly and the sandwich was delicious. Their slaw was top notch- that may have been what put it over the top. Do not attempt to eat this sandwich in your car or on the go. Prepare to make a mess of yourself and be really satisfied. Approved. read more

Hickory Tree Delicatessen - Roast Beef & Turkey Sloppy Joe - Delis Near Me - Chatham, New Jersey

See all

The sandwiches are great, but I have to say they are definitely overpriced. I got a hard roll with ham, cheese, lettuce, and tomato, and it was 13 dollars. Pretty ridiculous, even for Chatham. read more

This place is straight up legendary. At lot of Jersey spots will claim to have the best sloppy joe (cold cut style, not Manwich), but Hickory Tree no question has it on lock. They've got roast beef, ham and turkey joes pre-made and ready to go. Here's a little trick... If you want a fresh one, just ask for a joe with one of the aforementioned meats, but request provolone cheese (the pre-made ones have swiss). Now don't get me wrong, the pre-mades are bomb, the sometimes you just want a freshy. The Russian dressing and Rye bread is great, and the cold cuts and cheeses are fresh as can be, but the thing that really separates Hickory Tree's joes from all the other joes out there is the coleslaw. It's literally the best on Earth. Hickory also had amazing T-ham, egg & cheeses, and ridiculously good frozen Italian dinners. 5 star! read more

I love this deli, it's hard to beat. I've tried every deli in the Madison & Chatham area and this is my by-far favorite. Truly the best sloppy joe in Morris county. The crew here is top notch and the food really is the best in the area. read more

Honestly i have such fond memories of this place. I used to come every sunday as a kid and then go over to castle park with my family. They have always had the best subs, but the last 3 times I have gone they put on one measly layer of meat, so i'm basically paying $10 for lettuce and tomato on a roll when i should be getting a loaded up italian sub! I'm disappointed to say that I won't come back again and I'll continue my business at Green Village Deli (just as close and 1000 times better)! read more

Hickory Tree Delicatessen - Delis Near Me - Chatham, New Jersey

I had a little get away from work today to Hickory Tree. I got the roast beef joe, a bag of andy capp's hot fries, and a bottle of Joe Tea (bottled in Montclair!). The sandwich was monstrous and you definitely get what you pay for! This place totally changed what I thought a sloppy joe was in the past. read more

Kinda like going to Soup Nazi at lunchtime, hits the spot for old school deli sandwiches. May seem basic, but I love the BLT. This is my new go-to for lunch when I'm in the area. read more

Had the breakfast wrap with eggs cheese and chili in it. Added avocado. Was delicious.

Love this place. The sandwiches are delicious, if not kind of expensive (turkey and Swiss wrap with lettuce and tomato is just under $10 w tax). Service is friendly. There's almost always a long line on weekends. My advice: call ahead with your order and you'll save some time hanging around the store. read more

Every sandwich I've had from Hickory Tree is first rate. Great selection, great flexibility with ingredients. Their Cubano is excellent and so is the house special roast beef sandwich. Really good homemade potato salad too! read more

We recently moved here and this charming family owned deli was our first experience w NJ. First of all the service is extraordinary. Every time I go in the owner & other employees greet their customers by name. They are very attentive and polite. Now the food is even better. So far we've tried the sloppy joe, BBQ pork panini, spinach salad, kale salad, chicken noodle soup and rice pudding. Everything is amazing- especially the pudding. I've also started buying my deli meat and rolls/French bread here. This is our favorite place to bring friends when they visit. It may be small (only outdoor seating) but well worth it. read more

As far as delis go and made-to-order sandwiches are concerned, this place is amazing! They also have a healthy amount of home made specialties that are worth a try. Great place for lunch! read more

I had never had a Taylor ham and egg sandwich in my life until my roommate at rehab had one delivered. That was the best breakfast I ever had. The deli appears to be a landmark in Morris County. read more

I grew up in Morristownship in the 50's and 60's lived for 15years in Basking Ridge New Jersey and now I live in New Hope PA., and still I drive all the way to Hickory Tree for the absolute best Sloppy Joe's I have ever eaten. Each year we have a Fourth on July Birthday Party and I drive (two + hours round trip) to pick up the Joe Platters. Now some of our party guests ask us to bring the platters to their gatherings and we do. I think the people that work there are wonderful and they work very hard to serve their patrons quickly and efficiently. I cannot imagine anyone not being more than pleased with Hickory Tree!

My all time favorite sloppy joes!!! The guys who work here are super nice and fast too- always a plus! When ever we have guests in town I pick up a couple to keep in the fridge! read more

The food and service is outstanding. I usually order either the Sloppy Joes, eggplant sandwiches, cobb salad, soup or the avacado BLT ( it has well cooked bacon). They sell a lot of sloppy joes, but all their sandwiches are really good. They do a big business catering ..especially the sandwich platters. If you go during lunch time they will have a long line, but it goes by quickly! They have take out Italian favorites like ziti etc, really good chicken pot pies (stuffed with chicken) and quiche. This place is always busy and they cook to order, but even still the wait is short. Their breakfast sandwiches are also super good!!!! read more

Overpriced. For the most rude people (serious attitude problem). With the exception of one or two guys (and there are a couple of them) they don't take pride in what they do. For the most part, they come off as miserable people- which would be fine but the food ain't that good. Stay away. read more

One of the best delis in the Morris County area. I drive here from Morristown every so often because this place trumps anything in that town. The Triple C or the avocado BLT are no joke. Huge menu of high quality sandwiches. read more
