50 Best Delis near Metuchen

“Great place. Helpful staff and clientele. Prices are awesome for sandwiches. The only issue is going early. It's really busy around 7-7:30 am and parking is difficult. It's because it is such a great place; worth short-term frustration. Tops in my book

Parking: Locals love it as well as people I work with in a town nearby. Now I am sold on this place“

“You want great food prepared the way you requested w/ some REAL down to earth people that treat new customers like regulars and remember what you ordered from day to day, then come to this place …… The lady behind the counter actually reminds me of the old school deli workers I so love about Brooklyn and the times that customer service actually meant something to someone! You can tell by the vibe and customers in there that this place is a blessing to the community. Keep up the good work and I hope to be back daily for years to come!“

“I really love the food and the way they care for customers . You definitely can tell that they are passionate about their food. Would definitely go back for more !!“

“Great little old school deli that makes awesome wraps and sandwiches. Good prices for what you get and quick polite service. Being new to the place and not knowing what to get, they steered me in the right direction. Perfect little side of homemade macaroni salad had so much flavor and the cheesesteak wrap I got really hit the spot. Great veriety of drinks include this “Ralph & Charlie’s” brand of juices they had that I’ve never seen anywhere before! I tried the mango and carrot one and it was really good! Definitely recommend if you are in the area and looking for a good and reasonably priced place to grab a sandwich.“

“Excellent sandwiches. I especially like their chicken cutlet ones. We pick up from here a couple times a month and have never been disappointed.“

“Awesome staff and great sandwiches!“

“Someone recommended I come here and try some of the pre-made specialties. It is a small place, but there is no lack in options. Everything really just looked so good, I picked out a few things for me and my son. I picked up some Chicken francese and chicken Marsala, some marinated artichokes and some seafood salad. All of it, DELICIOUS! I have been a chef for many years so I can be picky and I can tell when places cheap out on ingredients. I did not get that vibe from here. I'm pretty sure I could taste the love. Highly Highly recommended“

“Great friendly staff...I had the Grill Club and it hit the spot...I coming back....your menu looks tasty....“

“Awesome! Hooks us up by wrapping subs for the boat. Spot on. Great people, great food,“

“Consistent good food and portions. Friendly staff.“

“I've been going to Constantino's for a few weeks now and I must say it's one of my favorite places. I was a little disappointed a few years ago but Bill def has some incredible food. So far I've been sampling the sandwiches my favorites are the pork cutlet and the amazing turkey meatball park with vodka sauce ( delicious!!). I just had the Italian and it was perfect! Highly recommend this place!“

“Great people that work there and the food is delicious no matter what you order.“

“10/10
An jalapeño lovers dream!
I tried the 6 inch veggie sandwich. It came fully loaded with fresh veggies and special sauces. Each bite was filled with surprising flavours.
I highly recommend these sandwiches sealed with freshness!

#must try“

“Great sandwiches and soup! Can't wait to try dinner. Awesome atmosphere, love this place.“

“we did catering for new years and it was more than we could finish! excellent price and delicious! very friendly owner thank you for catering us on new Year's Eve!“

“Amazing simply the best! Quality people with quality food. Do not think twice!“

“Totally agree about the kielbasa as the best. Love the rye bread they get from Brooklyn, it reminds me of the Jewish Rye from a bakery in Perth Amboy as a kid. I am 71 years old thus had great Eastern European ethnic food from Perth Amboy. Now for Christmas 2025 my manicurist from Poland said to get the herring from Stas. We normally make our own but I decided to try their own in oil, OMG, so good BUT I also bought the Lowell brand in vinegar as my dad used to make and we continued. EXCELLENT as well. I live in Hamilton so a good 45 mins away but soo worth it.“

“Our office had a Thanksgiving party and one of them brought quiche from this establishment. This quiche (3 pies in) has been pure heaven every time. I haven't had the pleasure of going there as of yet so it was hard to give 5 stars but hopefully it's as warm and welcoming to all that makes you want to keep coming back.“

“Love it here coming from Paterson to try this place very great service and delicious food“

“the food is great! I live this place. service is outstanding.“

“Amazing cheesesteaks since day 1 that I’ve tried them, taste has been solid!! Pure bangin 😋👌🏼“

“Mark, the owner of Madison Deli, brought this place back from the dead. It had gone through a number of owners, but it seemed no one could keep this place going until Mark took over. The food is great, and the service is phenomenal. Many years ago, this building was a deli with a soda fountain and grill. It had a long counter with stools. You could get a meal or a quick sandwich and a soda from the fountain. It was well known for its ice cream floats and shakes. My mom actually worked there back then, and I, as a child, spent a lot of time there. This place is still one of my favorite places to get breakfast sandwiches. Mark's staff makes great sandwiches and are very fast to serve.“

“Even tho their store is small, you can find almost everything in it. I highly recommend thier pierogi's. They are so delicious, just like your mother's.“

“I come here for breakfast & they are truly the best in the area & have the best prices. I also come here for lunch. This time I ordered this turkey, ham, lettuce & tomato with mozzarella, salt & pepper & mayo. It's not only the food. It's the ppl, the service and the quality. Nothing but the best.“

“Food was really good. Staff was friendly. I’d stop here again if I was in the area.“

“Drive there from Bloomfield...Food is excellent...I’m obsessed 👍🏼“

“First time trying and very impressed. Friendly customer service, got breakfast platter with side of silver pancakes and large coffee all for $18 bucks. ALSO they deliver ..fast delivery and friendly driver. Will be ordering again and highly recommend! Can't wait to try the Tamales😁“

“Excellent experience, great food, and awesome people!“

“This post is long overdue. however; over Easter my aunt in NJ sent me two large kielbasas to Illinois (since she knows how much I miss jersey food in general) but kielbasa was always an Easter staple in our house. For whatever reason Joe's had my wrong shipping address and couldn't get ahold of me bc my voicemail was full. One day I saw a post on their page and I liked it. they responded right away... "Lauren Carr call us!! we have your kielbasa and don't have your correct address." The food got sent back to them. The lady I spoke with was super sweet and said she would send us a brand new package. I highly recommend this business. And, the customer service that comes along with it. Thank you Joe's!!! We are highly satisfied customers. Ps... their pierogies are the BEST TOO!!!!! 💗“

“El desayuno salvadoreño estuvo delicioso y fresco. La atención fue muy buena. Recomiendo este lugar!!! The food is so delicious and the service was amazing 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼“

“The food is just delicious, the lady that owns the store is super nice and warm, welcoming. Authentic European food made from the heart. Also while ordering the delish food you can ship a package over seas to your family and friends for a very affordable price. WIN WIN :)“

“I ordered from grubhub and the food was very good. I had a grilled chicken Caesar wrap. I also ordered a pound of Boars Head turkey and a pound of egg salad. The egg salad is awesome. I highly recommend this place. I do wish they would sell bread / rolls on grubhub to go along with their deli by the pound offerings.“

“I’ve gone to Maria’s Deli and Restaurant with my sisters several times. It is a warm and friendly atmosphere and Maria makes us feel welcomed. Every dish I’ve had has not disappointed! It’s so good! If you’re looking for real authentic Mexican dishes, this is the place to go! They also serve breakfast and a variety of other American fare!“

“This is a specialty Polish market and I went there specifically to get a dish for Christmas Eve. (It was my first time there, because I was looking for a certain dish) The line for their fresh cut meats & cold cuts was the entire length of the store, so it must be good. It is not a dine-in place. The store looked well-kept & clean. The refrigerated cases were shining and full. I will certainly return in the future.“

“BEST Cheesesteaks around, no one comes close“

“If anyone is looking for amazing authentic Polish food, you should try this deli. Their meat selection is amazing, great cheeses, yogurts, home cooked food that makes great easy to heat up dinners, lots of polish sweets & breads. Not to mention the prices are great. My kids love their hot dogs and kabanosy francuskie (a polish slim Jim). They make great easy lunches for toddlers because I pair them up with a string cheese and a cut up fruit and my kids eat everything, well I pay $4 per pack at a store near me, but $2 per pack at Polonez Deli. Also, today I bought so much stuff that I couldn’t even carry it all and hold my daughters hand, especially since I should be on bedrest( 7 months pregnant) and despite the fact that they were extremely busy, they had one of the workers carry my stuff to the car for me. A+ for customer service! I loveeee this place!“

“I just finished eating my western omelette. Delicious 😋. Owners and staff are very friendly. Definitely will return.“

“Catered sandwich platters for a Halloween Party and everything came out great, just the way I ordered. Best part was how delicious they were! Everyone was asking me where I ordered from. Dara's, only the best! Thank you Dara's!“

“George Deli is a great store, so much like the stores we had in yesteryear. George is friendly, warm and family oriented. The store is clean and not over price. I feel very comfortable shopping there and having small conversations. May God continue to bless him.“

“Kev and the staff are like family! Welcoming and tops it off with quality food and service!“
