50 Best Sandwich Shops near Avenel

“I purchased their sandwiches frequently for lunch and when I was having a small birthday celebration, I decided to order platters of subs from them. Everything was just as I ordered it. Everything was fresh very nicely presented on the platters, and there was little to know up charge for the service of making platters.. Would definitely do that again.“

“I came in on Saturday for a quick meal and was completely satisfied with everything. The girl working there was attentive to my requests and made the sandwich just how I wanted. The atmosphere was clean and the chips were stocked and also had a good variety of drinks to choose from. Will definitely be going back, and hopefully be seeing the same girl working there again!“

“Stopped in Saturday for the first time. We had to incredibly good subs and Potato salad. The owner is very nice, the place is immaculate and we will definitely be back!“

“Delicious authentic Italian food“

“Supporting our son Justin as a member of Team NJ for this years Special Olympics USA Games“

“Absolutely amazing and delicious better than any Jersey mikes or subway“

“Good and fast service good food“

“My Goodness, impeccable service. Sean, Mike, Alex. When I tell you all this crew was everything. That is exactly what i mean.Great customer service, food was so good. My sandwich was made exactly the way I asked. No complaints. They were super friendly & professional. The store was immaculate, food counters were very clean. I have been to so many Jersey Mike's in NC. They almost turned me off. Their service and food is nothing like the location in Metuchen NJ. I don't know how it works, but these group of people need to be promoted & highly paid. Whoever hand picked them. Great choice. This will be my go to store as long as they are servicing me. I just can't say enough about this particular group. Thank you guys for your great customer service. ❤“

“The cheese steaks are amazing“

“Super service and delicious food. We are lucky to have you in our neighborhood and Westfield! The picnic tables are even better especially when the weather is so nice. Gracias! 5 stars!“

“I'd like to ask a question. Do they make their own salads? Tuna, Egg, & the sides. Macaroni, Potato, Slaw....We are looking for a good sandwich business to patronize... Thank you for taking the time to answer, I'd really appreciate it“

“Excellent sub being the best prices in the area.“

“great subs and the macaroni is delicious. 5 stars all day“

“It was very good, came here today and the service was great, the location has a good ambience and the music wasn’t overwhelming. Food quality was good too, really liked their Cajun fries. I personally bought the turkey horseradish sub and no complaints.“

“Everything they make is amazing. The sandwiches are bountiful. Fresh ingredients. My fav place“

“I called my order of loaded fries no chipotle mayo. Came in paid and left. I got to my destination ready to eat and there’s chipotle mayo all over. I went back and spoke to the young lady at the counter with the cooper hair. I told her I wanted a refund because I called in my order and it was wrong she did offer to make me another but I refused due to the fact that if my order was messed up to begin with instead of letting me leave with it, the young man and young lady with the braids knew it was wrong but still bagged it as if everything was correct. They didn’t even offer an apology for their mistakes. I understand that mistakes happen but it should’ve been corrected before I even got there. Time and gas wasted because of laziness.

Update. I would like to make an update to my pervious review. First I would like to say the manager Alejandro is the only reason I’m updating my review. He was very attentive with resolving the issue and making sure I had a better experience than better. His attentiveness and care for the customer is something that isn’t found with a lot of businesses. His customer service was excellent.“

“It's a very simple place to get a simple sandwich or something a little bit more. Concocted or even without any bread and turn it into a type of platter. Whatever you're looking for they have it here. Roast beef turkey oven roasted smoked swiss cheese provolone white. They got it all here and on. Good half 7 in or 16-in subs.“

“Fantastic little spot with amazing food. It's a great foodie spot, and who doesn't love a tasty grilled cheese! Very plentiful with vegetarian options. It's a very small spot in a parking lot next to a park with trails and a small pond. Gentlemen, listen up. On a nIce day, this is a perfect spot to bring your partner for a date. You'll thank me later 😉

Kid-friendliness: Park right next doot“

“Subs are delicious, bread is always fresh and meats cut to order, roast beef, turkey and the Italian are favorites. Great options like Beeferella, the Eggplant and chicken Tikka cheesesteak were tasty too. Peter and his staff provide excellent service! Highly recommend“

“I’ve ordered from K&A Sandwiches several times, and every meal has been fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. My go-to orders are the crunchy mozzarella sticks, the halal chicken and lamb over rice, and the chopped cheese—they never disappoint!

The staff is always friendly, and you can tell they take pride in the quality of their food and service. I’m looking forward to working my way through the rest of the menu because everything I’ve tried so far has been excellent. If you’re in the area and looking for a great meal, I definitely recommend giving M&K Sandwiches a try!“

“10/10! Found this gem on DoorDash. The Fries are crispy and shoe string like love! The Mac salad is too fire it’s absolutely delicious. And my sub (I’m a plain Jane girly) just good old ham, cheese, s&p, mayo, o&v just how I like it definitely will be ordering from here again. Next on my list is the cheesesteak“

“If you want a great, "old school" alternative to Tastees, this is the spot! I don't think they've changed the menu board since the 80s, maybe earlier. Handmade with care and attention to detail, the sandwiches are delicious and fresh. There are very few healthy beverage options, but Bai water is one and a good selection of flavors available. Friendly service and vintage interior decor make this sandwich shop a great stop along Woodbridge Avenue. Pictured is the tuna with pickles on the side.“

“very polite good customer service and The Sloppy Sub was awesome definitely a spot i will be coming back 🥪“

“I just finished eating my sub and it was delicious! One thing that can ruin anyone’s appetite is service and the afternoon crew was so pleasant and all smiles and laughter. I was that hard picky customer that kept saying “Half this and half that..” and lots of questions and the whole time they all had a smile on their face. I’ve also been to other Jersey Mikes where I notice the lettuce is brown or the tomatoes are too soft but this place was the opposite. My sandwhich was very fresh and crunchy and I enjoyed EVERY bite. Thank you all so much and I can’t wait to come back when I’m craving a sub again.“

“They have amazing vegetarian and vegan options on both the food menu and within the bakery. Everything is so so so good!“

“I went for dinner and decided to try the Wednesday special menu, and it was a total hit! Everything was fresh, perfectly cooked, and had that classic touch everyone loves. Very worth it for the price. We were taken care of by Tony, who provided us with truly special service from the very beginning“

“Who’s ever idea It was to hire a bunch of Spanish ladies ready to work deserves a raise. I’ve been to this location more than once and everytime I go it’s always clean the ladies are very professional and attentive.
Constantly move around working. Sandwiches are good as well.“

“I recommend all sandwiches but my favorite one is the chicken Caesar ciabatta sandwich. A salad but sandwich style. It’s so good it’s a must get. Workers there are friendly. I come here often for the corn muffins there the best I’ve ever had.“

“I just moved to So. Plainfield, my Grandson Rob, too k me there to get Lunch, I had a sloppy Corned Beef Sandwich, Delicious, and the bread was a 10 . 👍👍👍Great Food. Debbie was so friendly, oh and the best Potato Salad. ❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“First time here and new to the area. I had no wait time. Smoke turkey and provolone sub was perfection. Soft fresh roll and all the veggies and meat was freshly sliced. I asked for specific items and they made it exactly like I asked.

Now the guy working that day can use some people skills (greet people, smile, saying thank you) but he did make an amazing hoagie. Someone just please tell him it’s ok to smile at paying customers 😁

The establishment has street parking, wide sidewalks and easy to see awning. Inside needs some cleaning, paint and new tiles. Nothing much to look more welcoming but the food is amazing, still.

No inside dining or bathroom. Some seats while you wait.

I also love the clear glass to see your sandwich being made. That’s so classic!

Will be back because summer is definitely for nice chilled subs.

They have hot food too!“

“I went to Just Subs to place an order for a gathering involving a large number of people. I had reviewed the menu and had come up with a figure of $300.00, which by my calculations would provide enough subs, salads and sides for all involved. Probably with some left over. Joe the owner and his employee Desire questioned me about the number of people I wished to serve, and at that point told me that I was ordering too much food! Upon Joe's advice, I ordered a menu which came to a final total of $215.00! Everything was delicious, and there was some left over, just as Joe supposed there would be. It was a nice, professional gesture on his part, and a good way to treat a customer.“

“Jersey Mike’s is a must. Very fresh.“

“I had a honey turkey with yellow cheese mayo on both sides n everything on it seasonings included just forgot to add onions but not too much (next time ;-) oh yes and oil and vinegar on the side ...also do not forget the onion and garlic Wise chips 😋, let me not forget to shout out the JOE TEA (they have all flavors btw) on the side, and let me tell you I have to say the best sandwich I have had in a while and very tasty for sure!“

“the hour n something minute trip is well worth it! I got myself a pizza bag to keep my food hot for the trip home! I'll make a few calls for orders for friends on my way home! The whole ensemble is perfect! nice n juicy peppers, onions and enough potatoes for that little side snack, a little extra grease to make the bread just right, not dry and dogs cooked to perfection! when you make the trip be sure to call friends to take their order! you know they're homesick and sure could use a great memory!“

“Exxxcellent food, including ample portion size, all for very reasonable cost!“

“I order from Subslingers often, whether it’s for lunch or to cater for a party, I’ve never been disappointed. I recommend the Destroyer Cold Sub. The ingredients are fresh, the bread is fluffy and the sandwich is always filled with lots of meat.“

“5 stars! I come here all the time, and the staff knows me by name, which always makes the experience feel welcoming and personal. Everyone is so friendly, the service is consistently great, and the store is always clean. I think I need to go get another sub already!“

“John and his family are amazing ❤️ his staff member John is also the best , very hard worker . Food is great and Deli is absolutely spotless . Honestly nothing to say bad or disappointing about this Deli . They also have a variety of snacks ,drinks that are gluten free allergy friendly for myself and my daughter that most large box stores don't even carry .“

“I needed to order a very nice lunch platter for a friend’s Shiva and the owner Jackie and her son went above and beyond to make it happen for my friend’s and me. They not only accommodated my request on a holiday weekend but were genuinely happy to help me. I heard the sandwiches were fantastic and beautifully presented. Thank you again, Jackie, and the staff at this wonderful deli! I will forever be grateful for your “can-do” attitude and service.“

“This location never disappoints! The staff is always friendly and attentive, and they make the whole experience quick and easy. My order is always made perfectly, and everything tastes fresh every time I come in. It’s clear they take pride in their service , highly recommend!“

“Had delivered Breakfast panini and butternut squash soup. Both were hot and delicious and I ordered from them by accident. Still came to me hot. The breakfast panini is giving breakfast sandwiches run for its money. The soup was really nice too. Good consistency and taste“

“Come to this old fashioned place and you will have the best breakfast- home made style attended personally by the owner. Come and have great coffee and the best is…..the inexpensive price for a lot of food. Try the French toasts, omelettes, chicken parm over spaghetti. You will love it!!!!“

“Fresh food Friendly staff Professionally mananaged Clean. Well maintained.“

“In a world where chaos and mediocrity too often prevail, it is a rare and invigorating experience to encounter a pizzeria that stands as a beacon of order and excellence.

The decor is warm and unpretentious, the lighting soft yet deliberate—a space that invites you to sit, to breathe, to reconnect. It is not ostentatious, nor is it neglectful; it strikes that rare chord of intentional simplicity that calms the spirit and focuses the mind. Here, the act of eating transcends mere consumption and becomes a shared ritual, a moment of communion in an age too often defined by isolation

The staff, too, embody virtues that resonate deeply. They are attentive without hovering, competent without arrogance—each interaction a small but meaningful demonstration of responsibility and care.

This is no trivial thing; it reflects a commitment to the dignity of the individual, a principle that ripples outward from the kitchen to the plate.

And then there is the price—fair, reasonable, and reflective of the quality bestowed upon you. It is not a gouging demand, nor a cheap shortcut, but an honest exchange that honors both the effort of those who create and the patronage of those who partake. In a culture where value is often distorted by greed or undervalued by apathy, this pizzeria stands firm in its integrity, offering a meal that satisfies both body and soul without exploiting either, or compromising much of anything.

In sum, this pizzeria is more than a place to eat—it is a humble archetype of what humanity can achieve when we strive for excellence with purpose and pride. It is a sanctuary where the chaos of the everyday is held at bay, where the simple act of breaking bread becomes a celebration of life’s possibilities. I recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone who seeks not just a good pizza, but a taste of the transcendent in the ordinary.

While it is excellent, excellence is a virtue that must be maintained, I think this team is up for the task.

All in all Comet Pizza is my favorite thing since Russell Crowe screamed 'Are you not entertained?!' in the hit motion picture Gladiator back in 2000. I’d fight a tiger in the arena for their pepperoni pie.

It’s pretty good! Definitely will come back!!!“

“I was doing a job out of town and stopped in on a wimb. 100% recommend stopping in if you are in the area. Food is delicious service is fantastic.“

“I been to subway alots of time first time i go to the online Elizabeth Ave and I ask for italian sub the 2 girls working there look at each other like what what is this guy talking about well finally my italian sub they whant it to put roast beef fist and last I go there again“

“Subway’s diverse menu caters to every palate, offering a tasty and satisfying meal for any craving.
The ambience was good . The employees were down to earth . The place was tidy .The food was amazing and I liked it!! 😄😄😄“

“Getting a quick bite to eat for Breakfast.The usual sandwich of toasted hard roll, 2 fried eggs, jalapeno peppers with salt - pepper - ketchup.Spotted this bottle of hot sauce on Stubby's Condiment Shelf and since I like Hot Sauce gave it a try.It added a nice taste to the sandwich.“

“Asked for the "Kim" Salade... Its garden salad topped with one scoop each of egg, tuna and chicken salads! Add red onions, olives, carrots (shreaded in garden salade). Add what other ingredients you desire and enjoy. I personally like french dressing, sorry?

Alsooo, almost forgotten! Be prepared to take a nap! ?“
