    Mild Italian on a seeded roll
    Marlo J.

    You can order ahead online, call in your order or order at the counter. The staff was super friendly & our order was just as we asked for. We got the Jove & a mild Italian. The seeded roll is delicious. Also--they cut the meat & cheese fresh to order--something missing at so many delis these days. The meat and cheese as well as all of the other toppings are GENEROUS portions & high quality. Little King's lettuce/onion/oil/vinegar/spice slaw is perfect & heavy on the flavor (and also another aspect of what so many hoagie shops do wrong these days). As of today we have a new hoagie shop! Highly recommend.

    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
    Bobby T.

    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
    Hal M.

    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.

    This is hands down the best sandwich shop in nj. 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!!!!

We called and confirmed multiple times the order prior to picking it up. We wanted to get Italian, turkey and cheese and chicken cutlet with no prosciutto. Again we confirmed this multiple times. We originally wanted to get the smaller tray that came with three whole sandwiches but our guest list expanded so we had to make our order a bit bigger. This was well 48 hours prior to picking up the tray. When my wife called, the woman was incredibly rude. Eventually we decided to just hang up and try again later hoping to get someone else. The second person we spoke with was quite sweet. They were accommodating but again we confirmed multiple times the sandwiches that we wanted. I went to pick it up on Saturday, they put the tray in front of me and they got our sandwiches wrong. No cutlet was included, instead it was prosciutto with mozzarella and red pepper. My wife can't have the deli meats and we wanted to get the cutlet sandwich so she could eat. The girl at the front desk tried to be accommodating but went back to speak to her manager. The options were get a new sandwich made and get 10% off or leave it and get 10% off the whole catering order. (There was a sign behind them showing a promo that said 10% off now through 2/3. So that was pretty rude of the manager to suggest that since it was already 10% off). I explained that they messed up and it should be included. They refused. So I had to get the sandwich made and pay for it. Absolutely absurd customer service. Oh but don't worry, they gave us 15% of in the end. They even messed up the sides and condiments that were supposed to be included. No hot peppers, no balsamic, no mustard. All of which was printed on the receipt. And again we confirmed multiple times via phone. I suppose this was partially my fault since I trusted they would have got this right and didn't check. Just a horrible excuse for customer service. The poor girl behind the counter was trying but her manager didn't even bother to come out when a customer spending hundreds of dollars is clearly upset with their order. Pathetic. Will not be coming back.

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.

I've wanted to stop here for years, and since I was driving my daughter home, it was the perfect opportunity. I believe our server's name was Teresa. From the beginning, she didn't seem very engaged or in good spirits. My daughters are both former restaurant servers, so we understand how demanding the job can be and always try to be patient and understanding. We started with coffee, and my daughters both ordered the diner's most popular breakfast sandwich (#1 on the menu). I ordered the lunch special: open-faced tuna, which included a cup of soup. I chose the cream of zucchini, and it arrived quickly and was delicious. After waiting more than 30 minutes for our meals, our server came over and apologized, explaining that the kitchen had mistaken the "#1" breakfast sandwiches for "#4s." While I appreciated the apology, nothing was offered to acknowledge the delay. When the food finally arrived, my daughters enjoyed their meals. Unfortunately, my order was served as a tuna melt rather than the cold open-faced tuna I had anticipated . The menu description mentioned cheese, but it was not described as a tuna melt. I personally don't enjoy hot tuna, so while I ate some of it, I didn't finish my meal. The coleslaw on the side was also very bland and could have used more seasoning or tang. After the sandwich mix-up, it seemed like our server avoided our table. After waiting several minutes, I asked for the check and dessert. She also seemed unaware that my lunch special included dessert. We took the rice pudding to go, and it was excellent. I truly wanted to love this experience because the diner has so much charm. Unfortunately, we left disappointed. Our bill was approximately $80 for two breakfast sandwiches with home fries, one tuna lunch special, an order of bacon, and three coffees. Mistakes happen, but I felt there was a missed opportunity to recover the experience. Even a small gesture--removing the coffees, offering a dessert, or another courtesy--would have gone a long way toward making us feel like our time and patience were valued.

I entered the Jersey Mike's in Hamilton Square because their chicken salad sub had made one of its brief, limited-time appearances. When this specific mixture of chopped poultry and mayonnaise returns to the menu, I feel a strange personal obligation to consume it before it vanishes back into the corporate ether. The three young men working behind the counter were bantering cheerfully with one another. They were not putting on a fake performance of corporate enthusiasm. They genuinely seemed to enjoy existing in the same room. Nobody appeared miserable. Nobody was staring into the fluorescent lighting pondering the futility of human labor. They were simply three adolescents having a good time while wrapping food in butcher paper. My sandwich was constructed quickly and correctly. The chicken salad was cold, creamy, and properly seasoned, which is everything one can reasonably ask of dead bird on a roll. The entire transaction was pleasantly uneventful. Central New Jersey is a dangerous territory in which to evaluate a sandwich. We are surrounded by independent delis operated by fiercely competitive humans who will happily debate the structural integrity of a hoagie roll for an hour. Jersey Mike's is a massive corporate franchise born on the Jersey Shore, so it does not possess the soul of a family corner store. Yet sometimes one does not want an adventure. Sometimes you simply want predictable consistency and a limited-run chicken salad sub. For that purpose, this Hamilton location performed its duty with unexpected grace.
