John's Deli and Italian Bistro - John's Deli "Super Sub" great neighborhood staple since 1981! - Caterers Near Me - Bloomfield, New Jersey

UNWELCOMING AND UNSANITARY Unwelcoming by the owner unless the person was white. I thought it was all in my head so I just kept coming after I felt unwelcome. Every time I were to come in I'd try to spark a conversation it felt like I was talking to someone who really didn't like me. Even after coming here extremely often for 8+ months, the owner (which is usually who took my order) made me feel like he couldn't be bothered to even look at me. I noticed that white folk would get a way different attitude out of him, especially if they were Italian. Despite that the main reason I stopped coming here was I ordered my normal and usually he makes the food in the back so I have no clue what's going on. This time he made it where I can see it. He didn't wash his hands or wear gloves when handling food. He just rang a customer up that paid with cash so he gave back change. So hes handling money which is one of the dirtiest things you can touch so you'd think he'd put gloves on or wash his hands before handing my food right? NOPE. Straight bare hands all over my food while he makes it after handling money and god knows what else he touched before washing his hands. Yet again I decided to suck it up and just eat it then two days later guess who's sick? Yup! Me! If I could give 0 stars I would, this used to be my spot to come and get breakfast or lunch anytime I could. (1-5 times a week) I was extremely happy to give my money to a small business instead of a multi million dollar company. I've been eating here for at least 8 months and unfortunately that time will absolutely the last. read more

Breakfast sandwiches are awesome and the kids loved them. Fast service and a clean place to eat. Will defiantly be back to visit John.

The best subs ever. Turkey and provolone... I dream about it. Nice people and an asset to the neighborhood.

John is back! Oh how I miss the old Broad St location. When I was young-er (am I old now??), I used to order from John's Deli probably twice a week. I'd alternate between a whole Italian sub with a side of potato salad or cheeseburger and a pint of chili. You can still pick up an excellent sub with the same soft bread, but unfortunately the burgers and chili are gone (for now). I had serious nostalgia during my first bite. Their sub packed with an ample amount of meat and is well constructed. It did not fall apart whatsoever. You'd be surprised how important this is to me. I really hate holding on to meat or tomatoes by the time I reach the end of my sandwich. Breakfast is also available. Of course I went straight for the Taylor ham, egg and cheese on a roll with salt, pepper and ketchup. While good, it's not the best in the area. However, it is $1 (25%) cheaper than the competition! The home fries were basically new potatoes that have been cut in half. While I personally love potatoes and don't mind this, people who are expecting crispy potatoes might be disappointed. Overall, this is a solid local deli. I can see this as my go-to place for Italian subs. read more

See all

John catered my small intimate wedding this past Saturday and blew our guests away. Everything was cooked to perfection. The fan favorite was the kielbasa and sauerkraut and of course johns famous eggplant rollatini. If you're looking for catering he's your guy. He also makes the best turkey and Muenster sandwich. Thanks John for everything! read more

Finally decided to try this place after driving by numerous times. I should have kept driving. This place just opened and if anything you would expect the sandwiches be over the top. The sandwich had very little meat in it. No more than a few slices of each kind of meat. And what is this "Italian Bistro" suppose to be. This place had below average quality sandwiches. Noting to make you go back. Oh, and while the sandwich was being made-some meat that was already sliced and placed on the sandwich was removed. Won't be back. read more

Great local deli. They are generous with the meat. Only recommendation - add more bread varieties.

Been there twice since they reopened and both times I had the Super Sub. It was very good with right amount of each cold cut. Place is clean and bright. My only advice is to make the display case look a lil more attractive to customers, make it look more appetizing from the consumer side. read more

Love supporting local businesses but we will not be back. We got 2 sandwiches : a sloppy Joe with turkey and ham and also a sandwich with eggplant, mozzarella and peppers. The sloppy components were all fine but nothing special. What was incredibly disappointing was the ratio of meat to bread. It was all bread and very little meat, which for $7 is certainly not right. The eggplant sandwich had absolutely no flavor or seasoning. We had to add some balsamic glaze at home to give it something. Otherwise, it just tasted like mushy bread. I suggest the owners head to Just Sandwiches in Glen Ridge or Lenny and John's in Bloomfield and try some real sandwiches. With so much competition in town, they will need to try harder. read more

Love supporting local business but will not likely be back. Limited bagel selection-probably not made on site. Ordered 2 breakfast sandwiches that were just average. Gloves should be worn. read more

Ordered delivery....got two breakfast sandwiches which took about 45 mins. They are a little skimp with the breakfast meat and the bread was a little soggy I guess because it took so long to get to me but the overall sandwich was good. They just need to speedy up the delivery time. If I ordered again I'd get my sandwich on a bagel. read more

I ordered a 6 inch sub, a drink and large bag of chips all for under $10. It was one of the best sub sandwiches I have ever had and at such a fair price, I couldn't pass it up! The service was so kind and thoughtful- they even asked us if we needed help with anything, and it isn't - 'sit down' restaurant. They do have ample seating if you wanted to eat in though. The food was absolutely delicious and I will definitely be coming again read more
