    Meatball Parm

    Fast service despite the lunch crowd. These guys pump out quality sandwiches every minute. Amazing bread, meats, cheeses, and produce. Second time back in NJ, and I always told myself I'd come back to this place if I was in the area, so I brought my husband this time too.

    The Jove

    Yes Viginia, there is a Santa Claus, and his name is The Jove! I grew up in Hamilton Twp., and Little King was my very first hoagie, ever. I'm 54 and they have been my go-to for the past 45 years or so. I've heard the hype about the 50th anniversary sandwich called The Jove, but I always seem to end up with my tried and true Italian whenever I go. Today, I decided to take the plunge, and let me tell you, it was worth it! This sandwich is incredible (don't let my poor photography skills sway you). If you are a fan of Italian delicacy meats, fresh mozzarella, sharp provolone, roasted red peppers, aged balsamic all on a toasted garlic roll, then this is the sandwich for you! Each bite is like a symphony of goodness in our mouth. It takes you to heights that you didn't know were possible, (ok, am I over doing it?? NO!). I know people will think that I work for Little King, or I am getting something for writing this, but I assure that I do not, and am not! It's just a really good sandwich, that's all.

    Sharp Italian

    I was recommended this place by the sister in law who lives and works very close by. Conveniently placed right off of Rt 33, Little King is an old, small sandwich shop with enough menu options to entertain all tastes. I went with the Sharp Italian, featuring Prosciutto, Genoa Salami, Capicola & Sharp Provolone, with the standard lettuce, tomato and onion. Little King uses a much softer roll than most other delis in Trenton, but has some solid meats and cheese to go on their hoagies. Overall, I loved the fillings of this hoagie but the roll was not my favorite. Far too soft compared to my favorites in the area. Though, the menu selection and quality meats is enough to bring me back in the future.

    a sign for a sandwich shop

    What makes a sandwich place great is, I argue, somewhat of a mystery. The vast majority of sub shops get their meat and produce from the same places and assemble the same kinds of sandwiches. Differences between sub shops is often one of degree rather than kind. The mid-Atlantic region isn't hurting for hoagies. Even Wawa can make a decent sandwich when the hour is right (usually around 2am). Why, then, do I love Little King? The place is the last of a failed franchise tied to a comic strip that no one remembers or reads. An old sign outside reads, "where a sandwich is a complete meal." Not exactly the punchiest slogan but its literalism always cracks me up. The interior features drawings from the Little King comic strip, adding to the mystery. You feel like you've found something forbidden or forgotten and I'm all in for that vibe. Despite franchise failure, Little King also offers some of the finest sandwiches in the area. All the meats are sliced paper thin to order. When draped over the excellent bread, the resulting sandwich becomes as close to a work of art as a hoagie can be. I usually stick to the South Jersey Italian, which hits all the sweet spots for me (hot pepper spread should be put on everything). Sandwiches can be on the salty side, so order a root beer or two.

    South Jersey Sub.

    First Time there. Old School Sub shop. I had the South Jersey Hoagie. Outstanding. The meats were slice fresh and very very thin. Fresh tomatoes, lettuce and onions. It was probably one of the best subs I had. I would put this place up against any NJ Sub Shop. The place was busy with numerous hoagie Platters going out. 55 years in business. Give this place a try. Support our local businesses, they need us.

Whenever we are in the are we stop and get Italian hoagies roast beef and the sandwich god him her self sent down from heaven the g d jahove never in my life have I eaten a sandwich that makes me laugh and cry at the same time keep doing what your doing and don't change a dang thing!!!!

    Great sandwiches at reasonable prices. Places like this make NJ what it is. Might take a few minutes fair warning but it's worth it for me.

    I recommend the sharp Italian! The Reuben is also good. I've also tried the tuna and the turkey subs. All good!

    Hamilton, New Jersey has been waiting for salvation, or at least for something new to eat. For…read moreweeks, cars have lined up in the shoulder of Route 33 like pilgrims on a fried chicken crusade, all of them seeking enlightenment in a red and yellow shrine called Dave's Hot Chicken. Naturally, I had to see what the fuss was about. I ordered takeout because the cars stretched past the entrance way like a metal conga line led by hunger and curiosity . The object of my investigation was Dave's Sliders with fries. The sliders arrived on little potato buns, as if each were the pride of a humble Idaho farmer, topped with kale slaw, pickles, and Dave's sauce. And reader, they were beautiful. Everything worked in harmony. The crisp of the chicken, the brightness of the slaw, the subtle rebellion of the pickles. I chose the "medium" spice level, which turned out to be about as dangerous as a well-mannered librarian. Next time I will go "hot," maybe even "reaper," because if I am going to suffer, I would rather it be for art or poultry. Now, as for the mac and cheese: tragedy, pure and simple. It tasted as though it had been boiled in a space-age pouch, the kind of food that might be served in the afterlife if the afterlife were a public-school cafeteria. It was mac and cheese that had given up on its dreams. Still, the name of the place is Dave's Hot Chicken, not Dave's Existentially Redeemed Macaroni. The chicken was excellent, and that is what matters. So I will give Dave's four stars out of five, because perfection is a myth, and because next time I intend to burn just a little brighter.
