When you walk in it's very dark. I ordered 2 pastrami sandwiches and 2 sodas totalling $55. Long story short, both me and my partner was sick for 2 days. Horrible tasting and bad fatty meat. We had to throw them away. Don't waste your time or money.

Service was good. I didn’t care for the sandwiches. Too much fat and no seasoning flavor . I don’t think Linden NJ is owned by Sonny. I asked the young lady how he was doing? She said that she never met him. I know longer live in NJ. I am going to check out the old locations Newark and East Orange when I return to town on my next visit.

Probably the worst pastrami sandwich I’ve ever had! The meat was disappointing fatty ! The bread sucked and lettuce was not shredded! I paid 17 dollars for nothing’! Save your money go to ShopRite and get some pastrami! Coopers Linden never again

I paid for the large and it wasn’t much meat. It also wasn’t cooked pastrami it was heated to lunch meat. I went here several times and this is the first time I was disappointed.

I wish I could give negative stars, worst pastrami sandwich(if it was pastrami) I ever tasted. Fatty and tough, not even hot. Bread (roll) tasted old. They should just closed down, sandwich was complete trash, two bits into 🗑. Right in the store, so mad wasted my money.

This place is a throwback to a good deli sandwich ! The bread was good and the amount of meat along with the freshness is delish! This is not for the instagram model but for people who do not have any hang ups about eating and not looking cute lol. Mark my words you will love it. Thank me later and Enjoy!

Horrible, Horrible is an understatement 😫 my husband ordered 2 hot pastrami sandwichs, he thought. They were cold and the meat was not pastrami. I attempted to warm up the meat, I was disgusted to see the meat turned gray, just disgusting and Horrible. Never again
This is my second time going to this location in Linden and the first time I went there last year of 2024 I can actually say the pastrami sandwich was really good. It was a nice size and it was worth it and the desserts were excellent, but today, which is February 21, 2025. I had the worst sandwich me and my husband went there, and the pastrami was wet. It was soggy so when I opened it up soon as I left out of the store, we sat in the car to eat our sandwich and the bread was soggy and I tried my best to eat it. I ate most of it because I paid $20 for it so I was trying to eat it, but I did the best that I could, but there was a lot of fat on it, I couldn't eat the fat so I had to throw some of my sandwich away And it was just horrible and I was like oh my goodness it wasn't like this the first time , had it been like that the first time I would've never gone back. so looking at all the reviews that I saw I probably would never come back to this location ever again I have plenty of places to go get Pastrami sandwich, I just thought that I would come here and support a local black business, but I would prefer to drive all the way to Edison and get me the best pastrami sandwich ever since the Cooper's in Newark I believe is closed, unless someone knows of another location, but I don't think I'm coming back here because it's too many bad reviews. I probably only read one good review. I'm not wasting anymore of my money here it's just horrible. You know my stomach was already messed up. And what is it with the meat being wet? And at the other location in Newark Those sandwiches were always perfect. Every time I ate there, for years never had a problem, never ever, not one day did we ever had a problem with anything. so that is it so I give a negative one but there's not a negative bar so I guess one star will do!

When they 1st opened the pastrami was really good. After some months for me the sandwiches didn’t taste as good as when they first opened. The last two times I went the pastrami didn’t have any taste so to give them the benefit of doubt I went there today and the meat was horrible. I ask the young man was it pastrami and he said yes. It looked like the pastrami that you would buy from ShopRite and take home to heat up. The bread absolutely wasn’t fresh it broke into pieces as I was trying to eat the sandwich. The coleslaw was old red cabbage that had sat in too much mayo that tasted like it was never refrigerated. The only thing good about that sandwich was the mustard. I will never step foot in that shop again. Back to Newark I go to the real Coopers

I walked in. They didn’t have any Ryebread. So I tried it on a white sub roll and this was definitely the driest and worse sandwich of my life. I really had high expectations for this place. I heard a local DJ bought it. He should be very disappointed in Management. I don’t think they will be there long. The young man making the sandwich was polite.

Cooper's in Linden need to close down for real. I brought a pastrami sandwich and the meat was no good. That wasn't pastrami it was faktrami. Never again paid all that money for faktrami. Wish I can get my money back.

Tried Coppers twice before and it was delicious not the case today Pastrami was ice cold and definitely different Pastrami then before save your money not worth it 😡
