50 Best Delis near East Rutherford

“Stopped before Jets game for sub…. Great people! Super friendly and the subs were awesome! So much MEAT!!!“

“The best sandwiches in the area“

“great prices, workers nice to kids.“

“Mutz is a soft, mild cheese. You'd be forgiven for thinking that it would struggle to stand up to roast beef, roast turkey, hot peppers, sweet peppers, and the soft loaf encasing them all in a piled-high deli sandwich.

This mutz shines through. The stories about this place? The Biancamano lore? All true. This old-school deli shows why they're an institution.“

“The best Italian sandwich you can ever get in your whole life. Very delicious and the quantity is really generous to the point I divided it in 3 steps. Everything is Italian there and the workers are really nice and welcoming. 100% recommended!“

“Great place Wonderful food Good service“

“The waiters in white coats are busy behind the counter, the menu has not changed for decades, and even the lighting seems to have remained in the last century - this is the old New York I want.“

“The sandwich’s are priceless. The wait is worth it sometimes lol.“

“Been coming here for their tofu pudding for awhile now and it’s my favorite thing to snack on on a chilly city morning. The people running this place are always friendly and service is fast. Definitely one of my favorite places in the whole city. Their moon cakes are pretty good too. 💘“

“The sandwiches are SO good and flavorful. Also pretty large. Would def come back!

Came on a Saturday evening. Interior is pretty small and a lil cramped bc it’s pretty busy - but typical for a deli lol. Wait is like ~15 min for your sandwich

- Pho 10 sandwich w/ roast pork on hero ($18.50): 9/10, spicy and yummy!
- Pho 11 sandwich w/ bulgogi on hero ($18.50): 10/10, liked the flavor more than the pho 11 sandwich. Would def get again

* Note: Paying w/ cash is cheaper“

“The best part of my morning is stopping in and always being greeted with kindness and hospitality. The menu is clear and simple, but it won’t stop them from suggesting something they think you’d enjoy.

It’s hard finding a place so quaint and personable in the city. For me it’s the fact that the owner will remember you and immediately welcome you as a friend.

I’m happy to have found this place and become a patron.

P.S. thank you for putting me onto the beef bacon“

“I love this place for so many reasons. They deliver. They assist and carry you purchase to your car. The food is verr good ! Get the White pizza with Broccoli and Meat Lasagna with Eggplant Parm.“

“After reading the reviews, I ordered the chopped cheese sandwich & it was delicious!! Would definitely recommend, very fresh & tasty and the guys serving were very polite & friendly. Also very reasonably priced considering the freshness & portions. Will definitely be back again.“

“I work in the area and this is my go to spot. The food is good but Javier is really the star of the deli. He is kind and remembers everyone who comes in to see him. It feels like a family. He and Fatima will always take care of you. I find myself stopping in sometimes just to say hello.“

“Righteous 💪 worth the trip, worth the money. Take a moment and tip the staff slicing and preparing your food. Absolutely worthwhile to make the trip. I drove 45 minutes out of my way to try the food and I’m happy I made the effort, my craving was satisfied.“

“This one the BEST rice ball I have ever had!!“

The food is spectacular and fresh and the prices are FAIR, and service is FAST even in the morning rush. This is the absolute best experience you can have for a deli. Everything is clean as well, and nicely lit. You can tell the employees are treated well and the management keeps this place pristine.“

“Great owner, friendly staff, and an awesome deli counter. Fresh Mozzarella is store made and is some of the best I’ve ever had. The owner has special ordered coffee upon request for me. Ridgefield Park Liquor & Deli is a great community store!“

“This cafe was across from my hotel room. Happy I came here their coffee was the best I’ve had in New York and loved that it kept on getting topped up like in the movies (from Sydney). I had breakfast which was delicious but they also hace a wide variety, excellent customer service.“

“One of the best, hands down.“

“We’ve used Federal Gourmet to cater our annual work event for three years in a row, and they continue to be fantastic. Each year they’ve successfully fed around 300 people, and the food has been a hit every single time—consistently fresh, flavorful, and well received across the board.

The entire process is incredibly smooth. Communication is easy and responsive, there’s a wide range of tray options with lots of flexibility, and the menu does a great job accommodating vegetarian, vegan, and other dietary restrictions. Delivery and setup have always gone off without a hitch. On the rare occasion when an issue came up (a missing tray), it was handled immediately and professionally, without any stress.

Overall, everything runs seamlessly from start to finish. I highly recommend Federal Gourmet for anyone planning a large work or corporate catering event—they’re reliable, accommodating, and consistently deliver great food.“

“I was renovating my house over the summer and my kitchen was out of commission for four months. We ate lunch here practically the entire time. I NEVER had a bad dish! The staff is friendly, the place is clean and the food is AMAZING! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This place is clean and well organized. I went for a quick lunch break and staffs were well respectful and made amazing sandwich. I highly recommend this place if you are in area. I am definitely going back for endless selections of food.“

“I ordered a Chicken Cheesesteak, with their signature Chipotle Sauce, and it was phenomenal!!... Roll was so soft & fresh... Their store is so clean & neat, and I received great customer service!!... Their kiosks helped me to have a quick & easy transaction & the owner Mr. Rudy was extremely helpful, and nice!!... I recommend Poppies Deli to all who desire good quality food & a fast & efficient service!!...“

“Great staff and amazing food. Most authentic there is in the state. Would recommend to anyone“

“The employee, Wafed, has demonstrated an exceptionally high level of commitment and efficiency in carrying out his job duties. He has proven his competence and merit for recognition through his outstanding performance and professional conduct.“

“Been coming here for a year and love everyone except the old sorta bald guy who'll overcharge you sometimes lol.

Their burgers are absolutely delicious though. I recommend:

Bacon, lettuce, tomato, fried egg, avocado, pickles, and ketchup.

I get that every time :)“

“Everything delicious: Best Italian sub sandwich; eggplant parmigiana. Going years. No exaggeration“

“The Real Deal In Italian Deli.“

“Just had their cheese ravioli and manicotti. Wow! The manicotti was so delicious and creamy. Absolute heaven! And the ravioli were the best I’ve ever tasted. Deluxe! I’ll definitely be traveling the 1 hour+ up to Nutley to pick up more.“

“visited for breakfast our first day in Newyork, recommended by a local. food was some of the best I've had, scrambled egg with cheese and bacon was amazing“

“The reviews are all true . This is real deal Italian neighborhood food ! Homemade soups, cold sandwiches that don’t cut corners, hot subs done properly, liquor available, and genuinely good service from a family-run spot planted in one of New Jersey’s strongest Italian communities.

The power move is the steam table in the back. That’s where the nonna cooks whatever she felt like winning with that day.

Daily specials, rotating, well seasoned, zero shortcuts. I’ve tried several. They don’t miss EVER 🔥🔥

Daily specials change constantly and are posted on their website. Skip the trendy places pretending to do this. This one actually does“

“This deli is a great addition to the landscape of our small town! It's cozy, clean, and inviting, and of course has great food made to order. Short story... one evening I was running late to work on second shift. Michelle had already closed, but was still inside cleaning. She let me in, and made me the two sandwiches I requested without hesitation. I will never forget that. Thanks Michelle! Keep up the great work!“

“The #1 and the Chicken, Eggplant, or Meatball Parmigiana Sandwiches are literally perfect on every level. Expertly sliced, sized and also very fairly priced. The Daily Homemade soups are great as are the Daily Specials. If I lived closer I'd eat lunch here daily. Cash $$ only.“

“Excellent Food and service. Top Notch!!!!!“

“WOW…EXCEPTIONAL food and service! I got spicy japchae with shrimp and egg. This tastes like a home cooked meal and is the best japchae I have ever tasted. You can tell that the Chef poured so much love into it. She even had me taste the sauce while she was cooking! This place is a hidden gem!!! The kimchi is also the best kimchi I have ever had.“

“Friendly atmosphere. Great menu, delicious food.! I would come back anytime. Highly recommend stopping by, making friends with the owner and feeling at home while there. Great place to visit while in between work meetings, a lunch break or just need food and place that will hug your spirit: :)“

“Amazing place. Our favorite in NYC. Great food. Wonderful people.“

“My bro took me here with him. He went 2 get food… he told me the food b bussin (is really good)… I haven’t tried it yet but he said the chopped cheese from here go crazy… also they have a lot of exotic snacks u dnt see in regular jersey stores…“

“Sandwiches are good, but I’m not sure what’s wrong with people taking the orders at the sandwich counter.

Probably a dozen or times I’ve asked them to add certain ingredients… it’s probably there maybe 3/5 times. They’re good at making their own menu items but lo and behold you spice things up with a little remix and you may not get so lucky. By the time you get home, slip into bed and crack the foil, you’re missing the fresh red onion! Or that banana pepper tang?! You gonna go back and complain? Nahhh - but it does get my proverbial panties in a twist.“

“Great food! Even better people!“

“Cangiano’s was our Christmas miracle this year. We ordered the stuffed mushrooms, shrimp scampi, meatballs, meat lasagna and a tiramisu. Every dish was as if my mother-in-law was in the kitchen, rest her soul. Excellent quality, spot on flavor and generous portions with enough to both feed an army and send people home with extras. All the stars in the heavens ‘cuz Cangiano’s wrapped our holiday table in the tastiest of bows!!!“

“Absolutely the best bagel there is. Each one no matter the flavor is a delight. And their food that they put on the bagel is delicious. Get there before 3;30 PM if you want sliced cheese because they close the slicer at 3;30. I know if I get there at 3;32 PM the slicer is off. So I get tuna fish instead and it’s about as good as it gets. The staff is friendly and do a good job. What a place!“

“Great deli that you can always count on for consistently good food. I went in and asked for something fresh and filling and got a wrap called the knock out. One of the best things I’ve eaten all year and will be back to try more unique sandwiches that they are cooking up!“
