This deli/grill does a lot of takeout as it is fairly compact. We ate at inside table. Server Mariagracias was a delight. She answered any questions about menu. Food came hot & steaming. My husband had cheesesteak. He ordered 12 inch, not knowing how stuffed roll would be. He finished 1/2, and he can have other half for tomorrow. I ate the spicy shrimp wrap. Shrimp was fresh & perfectly cooked. Spicy hot sauce was just right-not bland & not too hot. Fried onion rings also just right. Crispy & not overcooked. read more

I recently stopped by Smackin J's Deli and I had to come on here and show them some love. I just got back from a trip to Philadelphia not too long ago, so I've had some real cheesesteaks fresh on my mind and let me tell you, their cheesesteak took me right back. The flavor, the bread, everything about it was on point. You can tell they really care about what they're putting out. But what really stood out to me was the vibe. The staff is super friendly, welcoming, and you can just feel the positive energy as soon as you walk in. I love how it feels like a true neighborhood spot everyone walking in seems to know each other, and it just gives that genuine, community feel that's hard to find. Great food, great people, and a spot I'll definitely keep coming back to. read more

Smackin J's Deli & Grill - Cheese 12" J's Cheesesteak - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pompano Beach, Florida

Great little spot for breakfast or lunch. Plenty of parking outside. Smackin J's is located in a more industrial'ish looking plaza. Inside though, it's cute and clean. We were able to choose our table. Our waitress was friendly and accommodating. I'd read that the chocolate chip pancakes were excellent, and they did not disappoint! The cheese grits were quite good too! My husband was perfectly satisfied with his Reuben sandwich and fries. As a veggie, there are more options for me on the breakfast menu, so I think I'll return for more pancakes. read more

At Smackin J's, the food is prepared very well & the service is great. Very kind staff & very good service. Just remember during lunch hours it can get pretty busy & the staff do a very good job of getting your food to you as quickly as possible. Keep up the great work J's!!! read more

Popped in here for breakfast based on Yelp reviews and it did not disappoint. The deli is on the corner of a warehouse complex. The food was both delicious and plentiful. I had the Southern Steak Hash which is served on some amazing grits. My partner had an omlette that was epic. read more

What a special little local gem! Before ordering the food the sweet, kind staff makes the experience memorable to begin with. Greeted with a smile, great energy, asked if I'd been before, given quality rec's and no attitude even when I came in minutes before closing to order takeout. Settled on the 6" J's Philly cheesesteak to my absolute pleasure. Soft fresh bread, quality meat and toppings, crunchy homemade onion rings and a side of thousand island for the sub. I used it on my onion rings and it was delightful. Wish they had honey mustard but didn't miss it. Do not miss the magical chocolate chip cookie that is goey inside with a nice crisp edge. Interior is clean and quaint. Would absolutely try other offerings if in the area. read more

A MUST ! Customer service was impeccable. The waitress greeted us and was super attentive. She spoke Spanish and English which was amazing as there were some customers who just spoke Spanish. Way to welcome a broader community. Now let's talk about the food! Here is what we ordered and loved For my kiddo : chocolate chip pancake with eggs and sausage. He is only two so this was a bit too much for him so we will just do the pancake next time. For me : Philly cheesesteak on an everything bagel -- I was in heaven Husband: J's Jumbo platter It came with grits, toasted buttered bagel, thick cut bacon, home fries and eggs. The bacon was delicious!! And the home fries were delicious and crispy. This will be our weekend breakfast stop. read more

Found this cute little deli on google. It gives family owned when you walk in, which I love. They were very welcoming as soon as I stepped through the door. They have a vast menu, a bunch of different breakfast options and deli like lunch options. They have daily specials, and the prices are very reasonable. I got the chicken bacon ranch wrap which was very good and the macaroni salad wasn't bad at all either. The host gave recommendations when I gave her the items I was deciding between. I will definitely be back to try their breakfast options. read more

We have passed this place many times. We finally decided to stop in for lunch. It's located in a semi-industrial area on the corner of Andrews and Copans Road. It much larger and nicer than you would expect from the outside. We had a good experience here. Staff was welcoming and friendly. There were a lot of local workers having lunch when we came in. I ordered a Caesar salad with added chicken and my husband had a small steak sandwich. My salad was large with fresh romaine, cheese, and croutons and cooked chicken on top. My husband said his steak sandwich was quite tasty -- all served in a soft bun. I had their in-house brewed unsweetened tea for my beverage. We are glad we came by and finally dined in. What we had was good and the prices were reasonable. We would come back if in the area. read more

A Lunch stop while out running errands at a place close by. The interior is modernized from previous occupants of this space and done quite well. Fast friendly, attentive service and an inclusive menu of breakfast and lunch items. I chose the six-inch J's Steak sandwich which was a very tasty and generous serving of traditional Philly Steak, served on a soft toasted Delicious bun! They offer many types of soft drinks and Fresh Brewed Tea to enjoy. You can choose many of the sandwich items to be served on your choice of bagel if you desire too! As we waited a short time for orders to arrive tableside, lots of pick-up orders and phone ordering going on here. Easy access and ample parking for your All-Day Breakfast or Lunch stop at the intersection of Copan's Road and Andrews Avenue. read more

Valeria was incredible, attentive, and knowledgeable with the menu and her recommendations were amazing. Food was delicious, philly cheesesteak, chicken cheesesteak, and good morning burger was incredible with the right amount of spice. The seasonings are also for sale to buy. The caramel latte was delicious with whole milk and whipped cream. The place is casual, fun and it feels like a family working with you. Small conversations around with to-go orders, being able to seat yourself, as well as asking questions and everyone was knowledgeable with an answer. Feels comfortable with workers coming and going. They also cater! We will definitely be coming back and bringing more people with us! Thank you Valeria!! read more

Chance stop for lunch based on previous reviews. Great little joint where everyone is welcoming. I asked my server what to get and with a quick response she said J's cheesesteak. Ordered it as it should come with everything and was delicious. Juicy and filled to the brim of the 12" bun. Great prices too! Will be back again next time I am in town. read more

We were in the area on business and were looking for a place nearby for a quick lunch. We picked Smackin J's and we were not disappointed. It is a small, popular locals place in an industrial area. We were seated right away. They were busy with table service and takeout orders. Service was very good and the staff is friendly and efficient. What was a plus is that you are served on real plates with real silverware - no plastics silverware or foam containers! We ordered a Mediterranean wrap and a chicken ceasar. Both were very good but we both agreed the Mediterranean was our favorite! My only recommendation would be a new sign on the building. It's a little faded and hard to read if you don't know the exact location. read more

Smackin J's Deli & Grill - The vibe! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pompano Beach, Florida

Beyond delicious! My dad and I are always on a mission to try every cuban sandwich in south Florida and this place is a hit! With every bite you get each layer of deliciousness perfectly equal & the crunch of the pressed bread really tied the whole sandwich together. The philly cheesesteak was phenomenal as well! The bread was soooo soft on the inside and perfectly crunchy on the outside combined with all the meaty, peppery, cheesy goodness brought so much flavor with every bite; easily makes this the best philly i've ever had. The service was wonderful! I love that they are family owned and operated & you can see how great all of them work together. They constantly checked in on us and brought us togo boxes without us needing to ask so they're definitely giving you family service! Very kind people! I really loved that they knew me and my dad were splitting each sandwich so they made sure to serve us each as our own dish. Little details like that really show they care about their customers. The restaurant itself is so clean and comfortable & parking was a breeze. We are soooo excited to try more things off their menu, especially the breakfast. Cannot wait to go back! read more

I have been driving past this place for 4 years and I finally decided to stop in. I am so mad - that it took me 4 years! This is place is awesome. Had the biscuits and gravy and added over easy eggs. Delicious. Eggs were cooked perfectly - which I find is difficult to come by. And I ordered a pancake with a guava cream sauce and that was amazing! Not to mention the bacon. It was so thick and crispy. My husband ordered the classic eggs and bacon and then asked for a second plate! And as if the food was not enough to want to come back - the service was great too. Emily was Very friendly and patient with me when I didn't know how to order my eggs. We will definitely be back. read more

Run. Not walk to this place. Everything i had included the potatoes were sooooooooooo good. I am not a huge breakfast person, but I definitely found a breakfast place. They also have a lunch menu but I wasn't super impressed by it however, definitely would be back for breakfast. I unfortunately engage in the cardinal sin, which was to not take a picture, but it was so good. I didn't want to stop to take a picture and it was a to go order lol I will for sure be back to this location. read more

NEW Dine in | Breakfast | $1-10 We are so EXCITED, a new breakfast & lunch place opened up recently down the street on Copans & Andrew's Ave. Ext., in the old Sadie's location. Lovely owners & staff, Dandy Andy, Ali, Chef Jackson & a blonde woman server. Well, they took dreary, old, crowded Sadie's, & cleaned, brightened & modernized it to a very comfortable, cozy, local cafe! Two large TVs & two nice clean restrooms. The Colombian coffee is delicious, but, would love real half n half. We took Ali's suggestions & my husband ordered the breakfast quesadia & I had the breakfast tacos, both were so delish!!! Service was excellent, we got in at the right time, as when we were finishing, two large parties were coming in w nice children, which owners accomadated quickly, even with a highchair. Husband would LOVE Eggs Benedict added to menu! FYI I highly recommend Smackin J's & can't wait to come back for lunch to try a sandwich! Lots of luck, you'll do very well! read more
