50 Best Delis near East Rutherford

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

“great prices, workers nice to kids.“

“The best sandwiches in the area“

“Sandwich was so overstuffed it was almost impossible to eat without making a mess. fresh bread, tons of meat, and somehow everything still tasted balanced. little shop gets crowded around lunch and there’s usually people waiting near the counter. not really a place you hang out for long, more like grab your food and figure it out as you go.“

“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.“

“I’ve always passed by this spot and today was the first time I walked in. Alex was very kind and hospitable and I will definitely be going back. If your ever looking for some halal breakfast and deli options these is the place to go. 100/10“

“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.“

“All 5's, because oh my god. It'll be best for the longevity of all of our lives to keep this place in business, because I have NEVER had such a great sandwich. The atmosphere is amazing, the food is amazing, coffee is bomb. The guys behind the counter are so kind and really quick. Got a breakfast sando, muffin, and parge coffee under $20 bucks in new york, and I don't think thats actually possible anywhere else, and it's better than everywhere else, so why wouldnt I. 100000000/10. Amazed. Go here!“

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

“I absolutely adore this old school, multi-generational, Cantonese style bakery. Its pricing and offerings still cater to the old school Chinese crowd. It’s got a huge selection considering its size which translates to a lot of labor and my sense is that they probably rely on volume (fortunately they always seem busy!) for profit like many Chinatown businesses do.

We continue to lose traditional places like this in favor of bubble tea chains and shops that cater towards younger generations and tourists. Please cherish shops like these and keep the Chinatown that serves its own community alive.

Shoutout to the Gen Z daughter behind the counter being able to speak Cantonese AND Mandarin. It’s very rare to see these days with generations that are born here.“

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

“High quality food and top notch service. The online market and delivery offered this year have been fantastic and very convenient. Highly recommend.“

“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!“

“1st time to New Jersey. We decided to order from a deli, so we ordered from Poppies, best decision we ever made. We ordered through a delivery service and it was still hot when it arrived. We ordered the hot roast beef sandwich on long roll and a bacon cheese burger on long roll with 2 bags of doretoes. They did not disappoint they were big, hot and very tasty. I will recommend to friends and family if they are coming to New Jersey from Texas anytime in the future.“

“I recently stopped by this deli, and it turned out to be an excellent choice. The moment I walked in, I was welcomed with warm smiles and quick, attentive service. The place is clean, well-organized, and has that classic deli charm that makes you feel right at home.

The food was the real highlight—fresh ingredients, generous portions, and flavors that stand out. Whether you’re craving a hearty sandwich, fresh salad, or something warm and comforting, everything is prepared with care. You can tell they take pride in what they do.

Prices are reasonable, and the quality makes it even more worth it. If you’re in the area and want something delicious, satisfying, and made with attention to detail, this deli is definitely worth the stop. Highly recommended!“

“The lunch specials are delicious! Quick delivery, large portions, food hot, need the meatloaf recipe!!!! lol!! Thank you!“

“Great pastrami sandwiches. I also tried the corned beef but didn't enjoy it as much. Corn3d beef wasn't bad just not as special as the pastrami.

Definitely stick to the pastrami.

Make sure you give yourself time. The line is long and they take their time with every customer. Very slow moving but worth the wait.“

“Kips Bay Deli is my go-to spot! The food is always fresh, delicious, and prepared quickly. Their sandwiches are generously packed, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. Great selection of snacks, drinks, and everyday essentials. Highly recommend checking them out if you're in the neighborhood!“

“The Real Deal In Italian Deli.“

“Federal Gourmet is a convenient neighborhood deli offering a wide range of sandwiches, snacks, and quick bites. The food is fresh, portions are generous, and everything is made efficiently. It’s a reliable spot when you need something fast, simple, and satisfying on the go.“

“I stop here every chance I get when I’m in the neighborhood (so much so that they’ve
remembered my order). The gluten-free wrap is always delicious and prepared with so much care. I love this place! It’s hard to find delis with good gluten-free options, so I was really excited to discover this one.“

“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.“

“Sunny & Annie’s Deli in New York was a place where you could truly feel the authentic vibe of everyday local life blending with a wave of creative energy. I highly, highly recommend their signature menu, the Pho Sandwich—it is absolute perfection!“

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

“Best meatball parm in NYC“

“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.“

“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“

“I really like Fancy Deli. The food is always fresh and tasty, and the staff is very friendly. Everything I’ve tried so far has been really good. Great place for a quick and delicious meal. I’ll definitely keep coming back!“

“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!!!!!“

“This place has been around for as long as I can remember. I vaguely remember them being in a different location though.....on the corner adjacent to them.....where CVS is now (they expanded that space. The place is small with no tables. There's just a couple of stools by the window. We always order delivery though. Family run by husband, wife and son. They are all very nice and delivery is always within 30 minutes. I've tried a bunch of things from there. Egg sandwiches, cold cut sandwiches, BLTs, burgers, pasta salad, fries etc. I haven't disliked anything. Their fries are a must get! Not sure why they're so good, but they are. As for the pricing, everything is under $10 which is great! Definitely check them out!“

“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: :)“
