I would recommend you check out Google Reviews on this business for 100+ reviews if you want to read multiple reviews. I rated it 4 stars for the deli meats and a mind boggling selection of pantry items (baking items, snacks, spices, condiments, etc) for the customer that is looking for those specifically, but for my own purpose- a good sandwich, I would rate this place a 3. I was seeking a deli to refuel after my hike and came across this place. There is no real sandwich menu, except for an Italian sub and a Sandwich of the Day. It's basically create your own sandwich, where you choose from meats, breads, cheese, toppings, and condiments. I hate coming up with my own sandwich, so I just went with the Italian sub, and it was reasonably priced at $5.99. I would say the Italian sub is not quite one you'd get in an Italian deli, but the meat was decent and the bread was fresh. I'd rate the sandwich a 3 out of 5. I wouldn't go back to this place for a sandwich after a hike. I'd try to look elsewhere.

I was in what SEEMED to be the middle of Nowhere,VA recently, doing some fire department things. I caught up with a department friend who lives in the area, who decided lunch would be at Mr. J's Elkton Express. I wasn't skeptical, but I also wasn't optimistic.But I do trust Tim, so off we went. What a lovely surprise! A lot of their menu seems focused on bagels, so count me in! Though I'm marginally a bagel snob, as I worked in NYC for many years. But my breakfast sandwich, on a toasted Everything, was incredible. Coffee was tops, too. Small town feel. Even though people didn't know each other, there was chit chat, friendly banter, the type of community and connection that seems sorta cliche but is so very heartwarming in person. So. Great service. Excellent bagels and sandwiches. Pretty good coffee. Zero complaints. Definitely a good place to pop in for a quick lunch, get snackies to go, or even grab a bunch of bagels and sides for a party or meeting.

Located about an hour from the southern entrance to…read moreShenandoah National Park (and, conveniently, 20 minutes from my favorite Hipcamp location), Mr. J's Elkton Express is stocked with all the bagels, sandwiches, and coffee you need to fuel a good hiking trip. They feature a wide spread of bagels that you can either top with cream cheese or one of their many breakfast sandwich options. I really enjoyed their egg white and spinach bagel sandwich -- the portions were quite generous, and the melty cheese helped to keep the sandwich intact as we ate. We also tried their egg, cheese, and Beyond sausage bagel sandwich, which was also super tasty as well! I was pleasantly surprised to find Beyond meat here, and it definitely added a good hit of extra flavour. The staff is super friendly, and I love the way they display the bagel varieties of the day on the elk antlers -- such a cute way to show people what's available!

I am so happy that we have a new New Orleans restaurant in town! Oh my gosh! I have only been to…read moreNew Orleans once, so long ago, and the people I was with had us eating Italian. I have wanted Gumbo and Creole food and all the New Orleans goodness, but haven't experienced it in New Orleans. Oh my gosh, I walked in and was greeted by Andreas. (I hope that's how he spells his name.) He was very kind and patient and helpful with me. He pointed out the fun atmosphere inside. I looked at the menu and picked out: World Famous Gumbo over rice, Shrimp PO Boy, and the Sweep the Swamp PO Boy (Oysters, Shrimp, Crawfish, Gator) with Bayou Sauce, lettuce, tomatoes and pickles. And I got an order of the Fried Pickles too. YUM! I wasn't sure if my younger son would like his shrimp Po Boy. He loves shrimp, but he can be super picky about things. He wolfed it down. I am not entirely sure he was even hungry. But he ate it all. I ate part of my delicious Sweep the Swamp PO Boy. I am so full, I couldn't even eat 1/2. I will be having the rest of it probably for 2 more meals! So good. Wow. My other son isn't home and will have his Gumbo later. I am 100% positive I will be having a spoonful of that later. I was so happy to see they have the Beignet mix and coffee choices from Cafe du Monde. We just got back from Kona, Hawaii, and have so many bags of Kona coffee, so I didn't buy any of the Cafe du Monde coffee today. But I know I will be buying it in the future! An extra fun thing - Andreas gave me Marci Gras Beads too! Same color as my shirt. I think he picked them out since he knew I must like the color. What fun!!! A nice touch. Also, I needed to use the restroom while I was there, and it was nicely done up & clean. I will definitely be going back to this restaurant and food truck !!!! Go try it! Really good food, DELICIOUS.

We loved it so much that we came back a second time before heading home and ordered another one to-go for our daughter (yes, it survived the 2-hour drive!).
