I've been here several times and usually get the Hispanic offerings like tacos and burritos. I'm telling you the food can't be beat! The service is impeccable! Everyone is friendly and just a pleasant to see. The prices are very fair so you can have more items and sample the goodness. Since it's a counter deli in a strip mall I suggest you call ahead and pick up your order yet there are a few tables and room to eat in. I'm having a breakfast burrito and it's amazing!!! Sitting here Taking in the busy workers. They have a variety of Mexican. And American drinks and crunchy snacks and even some good looking baked goods. This place is a labor of love and everyone reading this need to come give them a try.

Paper Bag Deli: A Corner Classic Delivering More Than Just a Meal…read more From the moment you step through Paper Bag Deli's storefront, you know you've found something special. This isn't just a corner shop; it's a neighborhood beacon where the scent of toasted bread and simmering fillings promises a feast before you even open the door. The moment you enter, you're greeted with warmth from the staff that offers a genuine smile that says you're exactly where you're meant to be. Food that feels larger than life, in the best possible way. Paper Bag Deli specializes in sandwiches that are tremendously sized and meticulously built, each one a triumph of balance and bombastic flavor. The bread is a front-row performer--crusty on the outside, yielding and begs to be bitten into, with a fragrance that wraps around you like a cozy scarf. Inside, fillings arrive in generous, thoughtfully proportioned layers, ensuring every bite carries a chorus of textures and profiles. Classic staples elevated with a chef's touch: premium cold cuts sliced thin yet abundant, house-made spreads that crackle with personality, and garden-fresh veggies that snap with life. Signature creations that feel like handcrafted love letters to flavor: inventive combos that play with savory, tangy, and bright notes, all harmonized to keep you coming back for more. Heroic portions that invite sharing or the satisfying conquest of a solo gourmet victory. A deliberate balance: no element overpowers another, allowing each component to shine--protein, cheese, crunch, aroma, and a whisper of tang. A menu that respects tradition while inviting curiosity, with options that cater to bold tasters and casual diners alike. Service that feels like a feature, not an afterthought. The crew at Paper Bag Deli reads the room with grace and ease, offering suggestions when you want them and giving you space when you don't. They remember regulars, greet newcomers like old friends, and treat every guest as a valued member of the Paper Bag family. It's the kind of service where timing is perfect, questions are answered with insight, and the energy remains cheerful without tipping into noisy or rushed. The atmosphere completes the experience. A corner storefront that buzzes with amiable chatter, the clink of glassware, and the irresistible aroma of grilled fillings wafting onto the street. It's lively without being loud, intimate without feeling closed off--a versatile space for a quick lunch, a celebratory bite, or a casual lingering meal. In sum, Paper Bag Deli isn't just a place to eat; it's a destination that elevates everyday cravings into memorable moments. The sandwiches are magnificently large and delicious, crafted with evident pride and skill. The service is warmth incarnate, turning a simple meal into a genuine feast of hospitality. If you haven't stopped by yet, consider this your call to discover a neighborhood treasure where flavor, generosity, and character wrap you in a Paper Bag kind of delight. To sum Paper Bag in one word, it is supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!!!!

They have a wonderful menu lots of snacks and drink options as well as some desserts. I got a cheesesteak and really enjoyed it. Nice touch on the carmelized onions! The Mrs had the tuna salad and she loved it. There are lots of happy workers behind the counter getting the job done. Se ice was fast friendly and spot ton accurate. The hidden gem was the mozzarella sticks. Bravo!!! Not your run of the mill offering. They kind of stole the show. Get to this place and enjoy a nice sandwich and a very reasonable price. Great job Paper Bag!!!

I went to try this place around 2:30, past any lunch rush. Ordered the #78 American Club Sub,…read morewhich I ate at home. It is a good size sandwich although arguably a little light on the meats. I had to dock 2 points, one while at the shop, one when I got home. The turkey & provolone were pre-sliced, only the ham was sliced to order. I also didn't notice until I was home that it was missing the bacon - the consistent mainstay of any club sandwich. Overall it was well dressed, including seasonings and mayo. But I expect sliced to order & the bacon. Which was disappointing. Will give them another try, perhaps off their hot menu given the menu has several options - hot, cold plus breakfast.

It made me happy to see it so bustling on a Sunday morning! The interior has some limited seating, and it's located in a strip mall with other interesting stores and restaurants. Would love to come back again!

I of course used Yelp to find a good diner on my drive from New Brunswick to Atlantic City. I found Broad Street located in Keyport not far from the Garden State Parkway. It's your "classic" diner which has that 1950's vibe with the exterior and interior decor. Elvis paraphernalia is featured here. They had a busy lunch crowd. I sat at the counter and ordered a McCaffrey Wrap which comes with grilled chicken, bacon, cheddar jack cheese, lettuce, tomato and honey mustard. It was really good. The side of sweet potato fries were crispy and seasoned just right. The staff were courteous and the service quick. There is a small parking lot that can accommodate about five cars. There was plenty of on street parking. The downtown area was nice and you can take a nice walk after dining here to the waterfront.
