They're a import company so they have a display of various products they import from Italy. It's a small selection of various canned goods, olive oil, smoked meats and cheese, textiles and pottery. I saw the road signs they put up and checked it out. The young man running the store was very friendly and helpful, telling me about the various products. They also made sandwiches and charcuterie boards to go. I picked out a few items to give a try, including some porchetta that looks really good. Apparently they have fresh focaccia on Friday and Saturdays, so I'm definitely going to check that out.

They load the sandwiches so much we usually have to take off some of the meat in order to eat it. You can literally make a 2nd sandwich out of all the meat they put on one sub. The sandwiches are affordable, not expensive and definitely worth the price. I always try to call ahead and order because they are so busy. The sandwiches are always ready when I get there though and I don't have to wait at all.

I decided to take a ride w my moving buddy. GPS says we are getting closer but all we see is a gas station. Wait, looking closer...the deli is in the station..expectations drop. Pull into parking space, see 'live bait' sign and wonder if we dare go in. Squishy deli area but decent selection of sandwiches so we order. I got the chicken cordon bleu on a roll and my friend got a grilled chicken bacon ranch type combo. The staff while not talkative was pleasant. Service was quick. Prices were excellent and sammies were so good. Generous portions and both the grilled and fried chicken were hot, fresh, and juicy. The rolls nice and fresh That was 6 months ago. Since then we've also had the ruben, godfather (roast beef and provolone on garlic bread), and countless Boars Head cold cut creations. Yummy Chef Salads and my mom always has me get her the tuna salad platter (makes 3 meals and she is not a light weight). Their potato and mac salads, like the tuna are made on site. Perfectly seasoned, not drowned in mayo and neither too nor too sweet. Only detractor is the horrible print menu. Things seem to be listed twice in 2 spots w 2 diff prices, and the breakfast section is pretty much one giant run on sentence with some numbers between the words. Frustrating if you want to order ahead.

JJ Delicatessen has an excellent assortment of meats, cheeses and dried goods, many from European countries like Germany and Poland. My girlfriend and I ordered sandwiches on a Saturday morning. We had to wait a little over twenty minutes, and the woman advised that next time we call our orders in ahead of time because the hot sandwiches take awhile. So that's your tip for the day. But they were worth waiting for. Fairly priced, excellent quality, and came with a few sides. I got the Polish sandwich special and my girlfriend got the Mediterranean sandwich special. There is a small seating area in the deli, but we took them with us and ate them in the car. It was a great lunch that we ate right before an afternoon of hiking at High Point State Park in NJ. Highly recommend this deli!

It seems like this is something of an institution and even for first-timers like us, it's not hard to see why. It's a European-leaning local deli that is clean, well stocked with interesting goodies, and that's is a cozy dining room in the front end of the shop. The two ladies we interacted with were fairly friendly and helpful, and after an agonising few minutes looking at the menu, we decided on the Polish and Italian sandwiches (vs heroes, which are bigger, cost a bit more, and are served on a roll). What I liked was the fresh tasting pickle that comes with the sandwich. In fact, the pickle may have been my favourite thing, period. The macaroni salad and potato salad were enjoyable if not particularly memorable. Now, the sandwiches. They look great, delicious even. We could tell they were made with care. From the first bite though, so I could think was, why's this SO salty? To this day, we're not sure what the culprit(s) were. Without the saltiness, I think they could have been delicious sandwiches. Perhaps this is how the locals like it. Maybe this is some sort of traditional way to prepare these sandwiches. All I know is that it traumatised my taste buds so much that I didn't have an appetite for another meal for the rest of the day. And of course I was quite thirsty for a few hours afterwards. I hope they keep improving and stay open for many more years.

We wanted to change since we were going to the airport so we had to use the restroom. That's where we encountered John. He is such a lovely man. He was so sweet and I enjoyed our conversation. My sister was throughly impressed with Brady's customer service. He made her feel at home and was very friendly. All of our food was good.

It is located on a back street with not much activity, and I was able to find parking quickly, which is key when you are on a work break. As soon as I walked in, the smells and sights of an authentic Italian deli were exactly what you hope for. There is a menu with plenty to choose from and a pastry case that I already know I will be coming back to try next time. I went with the Blue Ribbon panini, and in about ten minutes I had a hefty sandwich wrapped and ready to go. When I sat down to eat and picked it up, it did not disappoint. Chicken cutlet, ham, honey mustard, roasted tomatoes, Swiss cheese, and great bread. Everything blended together perfectly. On the first bite, the chicken cutlet burned my mouth in the best way possible. The tomatoes and honey mustard tied it all together and made it incredibly satisfying. I could only eat half because it was such a heavy sandwich. My dad finished the other half and shared the same appreciation for a really good panini. The next time I am working nearby, I know exactly where I am going, and I will definitely be trying the cannoli and the black and white cookies. 5 out of 5 stars.

Not sure if it was the onions, the peppers or both. Scraped off all the veggies and tried to continue eating my sandwhich but it unfortunately was tainted to where I could not eat it. Hubby's roast beef was dry - shockingly. Went to eat my Napoleon later in the evening - same thing - tasted bad - tasted like mold - could not eat it. Was pretty disappointed. Such a shame.
