I won't be shopping here again. I've given this place a few chances because I wanted to be fair, but what I witnessed today was the final straw. I was standing in line getting ready to order when I watched who I assume was the owner walk over to a younger customer who was seated and just about to drink his coffee. She told him he needed to get up and move to make room for people who had just walked in. I walked out without ordering. The whole interaction left a terrible impression on me. Younger customers deserve the same basic courtesy and respect as everyone else, and what I witnessed came across as dismissive and biased based on age. I won't support a business where I feel younger customers are treated as less important than others. read more

Great little place to pick up some quick food. The place was empty when we walked in so we grabbed a table and quickly got our food. I got the chicken parm, my wife got a pork roll sandwich and we split a side of fries. My wife finished her sandwich as it wasn't too big. I had half the chicken parm and took the rest home. The fries helped fill me up and we were both full after our meals. Service was great, a friendly bunch of ladies. read more

Mr. J’s Deli - Roast Beef Sandwich - Delis Near Me - Manahawkin, New Jersey

We lived in cranford for over 25 years and Mr. J's was always a Saturday morning staple. Moved to Cape May about 7 years ago and saw online that Mr. J's south was opened a few years ago. On a trip up to Costco, had to stop in and get a couple of sandwiches to go. The sloppy Joe is as we remembered it. Delicious. My daughter bit into her sandy and said, yep he makes it the best. Brought back great memories. read more

They need to change their hours. Says they are open until 4. Stopped by at 3:45 and they wouldn't even serve me a cold sandwich. Wasn't asking for anything complicated, nothing hot or with complex ingredients, wasn't staying to eat, but was told "Sorry." Plenty of other places on Route 72 to spend my money. read more

Been in a couple of times since they opened. It's nice to have great deli so close. They delicious huge sandwiches and tasty pastries. The first time I stopped in I got a cheesesteak. It was tasty just not as full as I would have liked. The meat wasn't too greasy, the cheese was good. A full size did fill me up though. On my last visit I got a hot pastrami on rye with Swiss and mustard. It was a nice fat sandwich with lean, tasty pastrami. The mustard was not overwhelming and was just the right amount. Again, the sandwich was a good size to fill you up. I also tried a coffee cake. Delicious top, with a moist cake. This place is a perfect lunch spot, very clean. It does get busy, maybe try calling ahead. read more

Mr. J’s Deli - This is a Dagwood. It's Turkey, Roast Beef, Swiss, Slaw & Thousand Island on Rye. And it's a damn good sandwich. - Delis Near Me - Manahawkin, New Jersey

I read the reviews before ordering my lunch. I would have to say disregard the one and two star ratings. The pastrami and corned beef sloppy's are not dry so you don't need a lot of Russian dressing. I ordered an extra one on the side and didn't need it. The coleslaw although not the best I ever has was tasty. The combo of the three were very good and (sloppy) like they advertised. They can do without the middle piece of bread although it probably keeps the sandwich together and it has to be HOTTER. The cheese was warm at best. Overall I was satisfied and will most likely order again in the future. I will ask to eliminate the 3rd piece of bread and get it hotter after all they call it a "Hot" pastrami sloppy Joe. I feel bad giving them 3 stars so I gave them a 4. They are probably a 3 1/2 read more
