“So I have driven by this place for way too long without ever stopping in or looking into it further. So tonight we're going to friends house to have a group Christmas cookie bake. And I said You know what why don't we try bringing Polish food, as my wife is Polish and she considered trying to make pierogi as part of the Christmas cookie bake.

So I ordered four dozen pierogi of different flavors, kielbasa and onions, and stuffed cabbage. I went over to pick everything up this morning and I walked in and it was like a Polish heaven. Imagine a deli, many grocery store, and bakery all combined. They had my order ready they brought it out and the customers had to help me understand what they were talking about because they were all talking and Polish!! So you can't get any more authentic than that.

Upon coming home I was getting things ready, and figured before I brought it to my friend's house I just had to try a few things, which meant try one of everything. Well the kielbasa is probably some of the best kielbasa I've ever had in my entire life. The blueberry pierogi was a new experience and was absolutely delicious... The other pierogies were amazing, and the stuffed cabbage was absolutely delicious.

If you go into the listing on Google and just scroll down you'll see the menu in both Polish and English. Portion sizes are huge, their daily specials look absolutely amazing.

Since ordering from there earlier in the week I was mentioning it to a few people and two other people said that they have been going there for years and the food is amazing.

So don't be like me that drives past it forever before trying it. Go there order lots, and enjoy some fantastic Polish food!!“

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

“So good! We have been in construction for the last 9 months. All of which was supposed to take 4 month. We haven't been able to cook and Moms Kitchen has been our go to for quite a few nights. Gave us our home cooked meals when we couldn't handle fast food or take out. We can recommend enough and will for sure be our staple for future dinners.“

“Wilkes donated a delicious sandwich platter to our Luck of St. Anthony’s fundraiser which was a hit with those attending. I had a small luncheon and a 32 piece finger sandwich platter was everyone’s favorite! Plus catered a birthday party for 50 withWilkes Mahwah! It’s been truly the best!!!“

“Good food Great staff Awesome place“

“I recently moved to North Haledon and was recommended this place from a neighbor. When I say I am happy to have found this deli I cannot stress enough how incredible everything is. The potato salad was like nothing I’ve had before, the roast beef sandwich was to die for. Excellent food and staff. I am so so happy to live in a great town with arguably the state’s best deli.“

“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!“

“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 is such a great place. The food is wonderful the atmosphere is great and service is out of this world. I would recommend if your sick or just a soup lover to get their chicken and rice soup. Its thick and hearty with shredded chicken. The fresh mozzarella is like 10 dollars for this small ball but worth it. They make great spaghetti sauce and have wonderful sandwiches too but I'm cutting back on bread so I can't say I've had them that much“

“I grew up in Waldwick so I may be biased but as an Italian American I love this place. I recently moved away from Bergen County and didn't realize how good I had it. From the quality of the ingredients, freshness, value for your money there is no better Italian deli in my opinion. Their sandwiches are so good, the cold sides and salads are also very good. It's great for lunch or catering. I also love the assortment of prepared foods/soups and other products available. I for sure make it a point to stop in whenever I'm in town. 10/10 would recommend!“

“Hands down one of the most impressive hone style Italian pizzerias ever!! Beautifully executed menu,. I wanted to order EVERYTHING on their men! Beautiful interior design.Friendly staff service with a smile!! If you have not visited this place you are missing out!“

“We love Otto’s! My Mom grew up right down the road and even though we live in Massachusetts now, it’s our fav and we’ve been eating the German potato salad for 50 plus years! This is our go-to deli for the BEST German potato salad on the East coast! We have driven 3 hours just to get it numerous times. My Mom said it’s been the same exact recipe for 75 plus years, our NJ family has been eating it for that long or longer. The prices are great and I also love that the inside looks the same as when I first remember going in around the age of 5 or 6. I Highly recommend this wonderful family owned and operated small business.“

“This place blew me away. The food was great and the portions are great too you’re paying for quality. On top of the great food you’re being greeted by amazing staff. My friend told me about this spot and before telling me anything about the food he told me about the people who work there. When I walked in I was treated as a friend not a customer I felt very welcomed. I could tell this staff member puts people first and respects everyone. I’m definitely going to keep sharing this spot to my friends and people I know“

“Just had my son’s graduation party catered by La Strada. My guests raved about the food. My cousins and I are bonafide foodies, and we all agreed the food was outstanding. Additionally, the quantity of everything was plentiful. Today, I’ve gotten texts and calls about the delicious leftovers! This place gets my highest recommendation. Truly exceptional.“

“This place has the best potato salad Ive ever had, the sandwiches are out of this world, the only thing that would make me like this more is if it were open 24/7“

“This place has been where my family gets ravioli since I was born. There’s no place better in my opinion. It’s super affordable amazing delicious and is homemade in house. Get there as soon as possible and buy as many as you can with how much cash you “

“Excellent customer service! Breakfast sandwiches were made fresh to order, delicious every time I've been. The self serve coffee area is loaded with all of the creamers, sugar types, and cup sizes I've ever needed. Wide assortment of candies and convenience store items too. Outside eating area is comfortable and setup nicely.“

“I have tried many different Polish places around Jersey. Piast has my favorite Gołąbki by far! I moved about 30 minutes away and I still make the drive to get their food.“

“Was being punished and doing a little time in Fairfield in the winter, I'm from San Diego. However Bobby's saved me on multiple fronts... Stellar and reasonable food and great company. Where else can I walk in and hear the soundtrack to the Godfather and hear an ongoing debate about who the bad guys were in that movie! I'll find my way back there, you heard it from me!!“

“Not only is the food great, but they are incredibly friendly and remember everyone who comes through. By my 4th visit they had my order memorized and when I lost my voice I didn’t even have to say a word and they took amazing care of my lunch experience. I only have a short lunch window each day and every time I’m there, without fail, they are able to give me a quick and convenient experience without sacrificing the pleasant atmosphere.“

“This place is AMAZING! Great staff??delicious sandwiches?AWESOME CATERING?My family has been ordering from here for years and have never been disappointed. Italian Hero, Roast Beef & Cheddar, Salami Fresh Mozz & Roasted Peppers are made to perfection.We’ve had them cater multiple events with subs, wings, and apps and we’re constantly having to tell everyone where we got the food.Would give more stars if I could. Looking forward to my next visit✨

Parking: Street parking out front. Public parking lot across the street.“

“This place never disappoints. Great soups and authentic Italian Wedding. I ordered a specialty cake for a rehearsal dinner and wanted a vintage look. They did a great job. I showed Estella, the main baker a picture of what I wanted and she followed it to a T. It was half the price of what some of these Instagram bakers ask for. I will definitely order a cake again from here.“

“First visit today. Food was exceptional I had the AV. Very clean polite and personable. wished I lived near this deli. I highly recommend this establishment. They've been in business for 36 years and once you visit you'll know why!“

“Terrific people. Delicious food.“

“I absolutely love this place. Been going there since I'm a kid. Food is always fresh and everybody is always friendly. They make their own kielbasa and it is the best. They're hot dogs are awesome as well. Can't say enough about this place“

“The food was fresh, sandwiches were fresh, and the big ? price was well worth the freshness. I will definitely go back. So I had to go back to try their breakfast, and it definitely didn't disappoint bacon egg and cheese. Look at this big, beautiful sandwich.“

“Fabulous pizza! The heart is beautiful. Such a friendly place!!!!“

“Excellent food, decent prices and fast service. Friendly register clerks too.“

“I got a take-out lunch after a hike in the area. The fish sandwich with tartar sauce was very good (and very obviously made in-house with care), and their cucumber salad was the perfect side dish. I had fun browsing the shelves of products while I waited, and even picked up some German-made Nivea cream (the best!). Danke!“

“I can't give a full review because it was my 1st time visiting the establishment. I can give a review of what I ordered & of the person that served me. Everything looked & smelled good. The person who served me was kind & friendly. I had the picadillo with white rice, sweet plantains, a fried yuca fritter, & a side of beans. It all was very tasty, with the exception of the fritter. My only qualm was the pricing for what I ordered. It came to $29, including 2 bags of cheese doodles.Would I go back... Yes. Everything looked vibrant & fresh... I wanted to try EVERYTHING.“

“Catered babies Christening. Everyone there commented how delicious everything was. Thank you Tom 👌“

“Love this deli!!! Everything was so good. We had an Italian sandwich, tried both pasta salads & a berry smoothie.They hit the mark on everything, and the smoothie was one of the best I ever had. Yum!Plus the woman working here was lovely ?Definitely going back“

“Stopped in for lunch on our way to Adirondacks and felt immediately welcomed (even though we arrived 20 min before closing). My husband had a western egg sandwich and the homemade corned beef hash, which was exceptional. I had a tuna sandwich and while it’s hard to get excited about tuna fish, it was a perfect sandwich. This is the type of neighborhood place that every town had at one point - a place where people met to eat, share the news of the day, connect - and of which there are too few today. A real gem.“

“A great quick stop for breakfast or lunch many times.I usually get wraps and grilled chicken. The food is always fresh and portions are great.I also highly recommended their hot buffet that they serve you.It usually has a rice dish ,pork,chicken beef,beans and soup.All very good and not to salty which is always my preference.“

“I have been going there since I was 12 with my mother ...I always go back there bc I feel most home there .I was raised right there in Botany for over 40 yrs...

“Nestled in a small strip mall next to the Mahwah train station, this deli is charming, the owner and staff are friendly (it’s family run), and the food is really good. I have been here three times in the past two weeks, and I have been very satisfied each time. I do plan on becoming a regular customer. There are daily soups and specials, the latter of which can be purchased as a single serving or family style (feeds 4-5 people). Each day of the week has its own special item, but the specials remain the same for each day from one week to the next. We recently had the Parmesan Crusted Chicken with Tortellini Alfredo daily special, family style. It was just for the two of us, but we got two entire meals out of it (four individual servings). It was delicious. They have an interesting and eclectic mix of menu items, including empanadas, chicken wings, gyros, taquitos, antipasto, stuffed peppers, sliders (burger, chicken, and pulled pork), meatballs, heroes, soups, salads, and desserts. While they do serve heroes, this does not appear to be the kind of deli where you go for, say, a typical roast beef or tuna fish sandwich with a side of regular potato salad. In the deli case, though, I did notice items like white meat chicken salad, country Coleslaw, green beans oreganata, pasta primavera, cucumber salad, salmon cakes, and stuffed filet of sole. There is a small selection of packaged items (potato chips, pasta), jarred items (pickles, olives, peppers, marinated mushrooms, and condiments), candy, and snacks. There are two refrigerators filled with “Grab ‘n Go” items. They also have a catering menu. For those who may want to stay and eat, there is a small countertop area with seats for four people. There is also a bench at the front window where you can sit and wait for your order to be prepared. You can join their VIP mobile club and receive a discount and daily text messages with a photo of the day’s special and pricing. There is parking directly in front of the store as well as at a right angle in front of the train station. (Those who ride the commuter train usually park on the other side of tracks in a designated parking lot.) If you live in the area, this place is definitely worth a try. I am confident you will be satisfied. If my review or pictures were helpful to you, please consider clicking the thumbs-up button. Thank you!“

“Great convenience store - just wish their hours were longer as they are usually closed by 7pm but on the plus side, they are open at 6am.

Wheelchair accessibility: Entrance and counter are wheelchair accessible but you may need assistance for other items.“

“I live in Bucks County, PA, but had a meeting nearby so went to Market Basket for lunch. The sandwich was AWESOME and the people were super nice!“

“The best by far in Ridgewood. Big meaty sandwiches, awesome selection of side salads. great meatballs, meatloaf ect ect. Boyland's soda.“

“Thank you Stewart’s. Last minute saved my Super Bowl party. Called Saturday had it ready Sunday. Was delicious and a big hit Any occasion they’ll definitely take care of you Thanks again 5 stars“

“I've never been here before but ordered a breakfast sandwich and a second sandwich for lunch. Both were freaking fantastic! Even 4 hours later, my lunch was phenomenal. Not to mention, the woman who answered the phone and greeted me at the counter was a firecracker, and I will be back simply bc I really dig the vibe here... and these ladies know how to feed a hungry construction guy with an affordable menu. Thank you! My breakfast and lunch were both AWESOME!“

“Always great eats -served with a big smile :)“

“My best friend of over 30 years introduced me to this spot. She passed away in Dec. Of 2022 But I continue to go to Montclair DeliIt's become my favorite place to eat. Their food is amazingly delicious and the service is great. They make you feel like family.“

“If you would like a great sandwich, often with a unique twist served in a sparkling clean deli this is the place. Also have had things catered and always been more than satisfied. Love the penne vodka along with the Spring Street Salad!“

“This is my first time coming here and I must say the food was good. I jus ordered the shrimp soup it which was delicious. My brother ordered a sandwich with a soup and it was delicious. It was good I had no time for pictures😂I’ll be back
And yes I do recommend this place.“
