50 Best Sandwich Shops near Montclair

“My goal is to eat every sandwich on the menu, and so far, I'm now nine incredible sandwiches in. Each and every single one has been amazing in their own ways. The quality, service, and uniqueness is unmatched and greatly appreciated and I'll continue to go there often. Thank you Dutch's!“

“Welcome to Montclair Tony Boys! Had the pleasure of stopping by here yesterday to try out one of many sandwich options on their menu. Opted for the avocado toast & a side of fries & it didn’t disappoint. Was filling without being too heavy & very tasty! The fries were also not oily or greasy. Browsing the menu you’ll find alot of different flavors & combos…and the manager also shared that all the cutlet options can be created with an eggplant substitute! Definitely give this place a try. The vibe is chill & artsy, lots of seating, great central location & 3 parking lots within a 5 min walk. You definitely won’t regret it :)“

“Everything they make is amazing. The sandwiches are bountiful. Fresh ingredients. My fav place“

“Roast beef and cheese sub is excellent .we order at least once a week .“

“Everything on the menu is delicious! The service is fast and staff is amazing. My children love their empanadas! It’s cozy, welcoming and relaxing ambiance…“

“The service here is beyond excellent. The employees are very kind and respectful, and work in a very timely manner. When I mixed up my order, and realized that I didnt need pickles, they gladly took them off. I will definitely be returning to this place. Best place to eat if you don’t have a lot of time in all of NJ. All of their sandwiches are heaven on bread. Would highly recommend.

“Great lunches very accommodating for small lunch gatherings. Friendly atmosphere and staff. Delicious home cooked food and Italian specialties“

“Stopped in 90min before closing, around 5pm. First off, everything on the menu sounded really good and my wife were kind of torn... The owner literally immediately engaged us and was like "tell me what you're feelin?" - this gentleman steered us to sandwich paradise ?

We decided to split a large classic Italian sub with a couple changes and ended up with a 12" sub (but I'd bet someone it was more like 14") with ham, salami, pepperoni, and provolone. Added lettuce/tom/oil/vinegar/mayo with salt n pepper and some oregano. The cost was $17.05 ($8.50 all in with tax each if splitting) and this bad boy was plenty for the two of us!

They *only* use Boars Head meats/cheeses and let me tell you, it absolutely SHOWED!! High quality ingredients result in a high quality product and this was no exception! It was the absolute best f***ing sandwich either of us have had in a long time! This guy was a true artisan and master of his craft!

Stop in and get an Italian sub and I promise that not only will you not be disappointed but you'll be amazed and enjoy the best sandwich you've had in recent memory!

We plan on going back again real soon to try the Philly cheese steak, get another Italian sub and try the Mac salad which also looked amazing. Will update this review or post another one when we do!

EDIT: Went back the following morning and got a Taylor ham egg and cheese sandwich. ????

EDIT 2: Went back for the 3rd day in a row, SHOCKER dudes cheese steak is also ?

EDIT 3: 11/1/2024 - New special on Friday called " Philly Cheesesteak Fridays" - $5 for a cheesesteak and $7.50 for cheesesteak with fries and a soda! Just picked up 2 of them for me and the Mrs.! Guess what? AWESOME AS USUAL AND LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE!“

“Holy crap the sandwich was good it was bursting with flavor and everything in between. The guy helping me gave me 70 free bags of chips and free cookies, of course. My life has been changed forever. The sandwich was so good, for a second I thought my dad returned.“

“We walked in just as they were cleaning up and it’s the cleanest Jersey Mikes I’ve ever been in. This is our favorite Jersey mikes so it’s a good feeling when you walk in and every surface is pristine. Great job keep up the great work!“

“Fantastic little spot with amazing food. It's a great foodie spot, and who doesn't love a tasty grilled cheese! Very plentiful with vegetarian options. It's a very small spot in a parking lot next to a park with trails and a small pond. Gentlemen, listen up. On a nIce day, this is a perfect spot to bring your partner for a date. You'll thank me later 😉

Kid-friendliness: Park right next doot“

“We used to live in the apartments across from Agamie. It was the best place to have food and within walking distance! We haven’t been back in 20 years since we moved away. Time for a visit! 5 stars!🌟“

“Everything they make is amazing. The sandwiches are bountiful. Fresh ingredients. My fav place“

“OMG OMG THIS IS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST HERO IN THE WORLD!!! IT TOOK ME BACK TO 80'S WHEN I WOULD VISIT JERSEY CITY. THE SMELL WHEN I WALKED IN MADE TOOK ME BACK TO LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL DAYS. THE AMOUNT OF MEAT ON THE 10 WAS UNEXPECTED AND I GOT A WHOLE FOR MYSELF WHEN I PICKED THE BAG UP I WAS LIKE NO WAY. THE AMOUNT OF MEAT WAS CRAZY IT TOOK ME 3 DAYS TO EAT IT. IM TAKING 1 BACK WITH ME. THANKS FOR THIS AWESOME EXPERIENCE“

“If you miss this place, then you are missing out on life! By far the best Italian sub shop, I've ever had the experience to try. Their subs are slammin!!! Highly recommended and such wonderful staff too!! It's definitely a must go to, and now my favorite sub shop around!!“

“I only came in for a pickup order, but it was a great experience! I’m not sure of his role, but a manager/supervisor was training a new employee, and he was very attentive and kind to both the customers and the trainee. And the attention to detail was chef’s kiss. His friendliness stood out enough for me to leave this review! I don’t live in the area, and I only work nearby once a week, but I’ll definitely keep this Primo spot in mind when I’m around.“

“Love this sandwich shop, happen to be around Lincoln park. Togo the sandwiches buffalo chicken and turkey sandwich. Both of them were so good! And also plus chip!!

The owner was really nice and welcoming too
Price is good and sandwich is big“

“Thank you for your generous support of Eastbrook’s class of 2021! Amazing spread of sandwiches, fixings & even gluten free options!“

“Thank you to our local Fair Lawn Jersey Mike’s! After supporting our Girl Scout troop while selling cookies, they donated lunch to our girls. Smiles all around!“

“I`ve tasted in a couple years ago, and I just can say that is the most delicious sandwich in NJ 😉👌“

“Really cool spot to have lunch.
The grilled corn beef sub is phenomenal.
I get mine with provolone cheese, lotta mayo, lettuce tomato, & salt and pepper.
Add a 20 oz. Coca cola or Sprite on the side and I'm in there.
Oh yeah I always order an extra sandwich 4 later.“

“I would bring a bus group from the Detroit area every year before the pandemic for tours in the New York area.
I would have to order 56 sandwiches with 3 to 4 different choices.
Our bus wouldn't arrive to our hotel until after 8:00 pm
(after your normal business hours)
Upon our arrival, someone would deliver our lunches that evening for the next day.
I have always appreciated the extra mile that they went for our bus group.
The sandwiches were always delicious.
I look forward to doing business with you in the near future“

“Great sandwiches! Always fresh. Management and staff always friendly. The store is always clean when I go there. They really got it together there. I highly recommend!“

“It had been a little bit since we've been in (life gets in the way sometimes) but as soon as my husband & I walked in the door we were hit with that heavenly Blimpies scent of fresh ingredients that is indicative of Blimpies & Blimpies alone. It just smells like delicious subs. We realized, after speaking to the wonderful owner, that we've been getting the BEST subs in the world at this location for over 40 years! My pick is a "Blimpies Best" (extra oil & vinegar) honestly it was perfect. My husband gets a turkey & provolone which was terrific (he gave me puppy dog eyes & got a huge chunk of mine too)
Eateries come & go but the best stay, this is worthy of place in your rotation.
I should also say that I live in Nutley with quite a few Italian delis & pizzerias so if I'm saying the Italian sub (Blimpies Best) is terrific that's saying a lot.“

“Everything is good but the owner has to fix the toilet flapped chain. This is the second time in 2 months that I’ve been there and I found the bowl of the toilet dirty because the chain of the toilet’s handle don’t pull nothing. Also, the liquid soap bottle is empty and the paper toilet dispenser is empty.

Kid-friendliness: The owner and their helpers are respectfully and friendly.

Wheelchair accessibility: The store ground it’s at the same level of the sidewalk.“

“Best sandwiches ever! I love both the Standard and the Kim. Great curly fries! And, nicest, most civic-minded owners I've met.“

“Always a great experience at this location, staff are friendly. And I'm in and out quickly. The bathrooms are clean, and there's always good parking. We stop by on our drive from Brooklyn to Pennsylvania and this spot is really conveniently located off of i280. The only friendly suggestion I'd provide for the helpful staff and management is the more junior staff should always ask if someone wants anything else after asking if you want it mikes way (yes I do, and then I want mayo and such). Otherwise, incredible place.

Vegetarian options: Veggie sub“

“I moved into the area recently and have gone to this location multiple times over the last year two years. Honestly, I’m not sure what it is, not sure who is doing what, but everybody who works behind the counter are some of the friendliest people in food service I’ve ever met! They are genuinely sweet people. Seriously, when you go in there, just strike up a little light conversation. They’re so nice! A pleasure! Every single one I’ve ever encountered behind the counter! Good job!! ☺️“

“One of my favorite places to order better than Blimpie sandwiches, Roberto’s, nice and clean. The owner is the worker and the greatest sandwich maker ever I don’t say this about most places but if you’re looking for a great and tasty sandwich, this is the place to go.“

“This was such a nostalgic trip. I was so happy they were open and available. If you are looking for a good sandwich, head over to this Blimpie. The team that was working on Sunday November 3, 2024 mid day was excellent. There was so much love in my sandwich. It smiled at me when I opened it. That is what food is supposed to do when made appropriately. Will definitely be back sooner rather than later. I recommend the Blimp sandwich.“

“Tony Boys has amazing sandwiches but also generous and kind owners who give back to the community and schools. Their salads are good too but their hot sandwiches are phenomenal!“

“Staff is great, it gets busy, I highly suggest ordering ahead. Food is definitely worth the money the salads are filling the sandwiches will out you to sleep. Straight food coma for my household afterwards. Desserts are good and not overly sweet.“

“Modest, sub shack with on-street parking near busy intersection of Clifton. This spot is a hidden gem serving up delicious, fresh, thinly sliced cold cuts and hot hero sandwiches for the locals. The shop is small, and no real dining area, but they put the attention where it belongs--on the subs! The rolls they use are soft and chewy. Onions are shaved, lettuce Shredded, nice size tomato, oil vinegar, and seasonings. Boom! It's perfection. And I don't know what I appreciate more, the smiling service the 2 guys serve up with the food or the outrageously reasonable pricing, but seriously guys, go out and support this little shop 2 doors down from Mr. Cupcake. You won't be disappointed, just thank me later.“

“BEST FOOD AROUND! A++++++“

“By FAR the best place to get a sub. Freshly sliced cold cuts, awesome service, and one of the friendliest places around !!“

“My weekly, pre-golf Sunday morning coffee and lox spot. We absolutely love everything about this place. Great flagels, fresh coffee, great prices. I heard a fellow customer recently questioning the price of the cream cheese, but I confirmed the cream cheese price has not increased.“

“First time here. Great experience. We got there right at 5 pm when they opened on a Saturday. Got table right away. 20 mins later place was packed with long wait. Wait staff was awesome. Annette stopped by our table numerous times and was fun to talk too and welcoming. Shrimp beeps were our favorite. Eggplant was awesome. Garlic pasta and savoy chicken were so tasty. Could not have been more pleased. Great prices too. Old school atmosphere that is fun to experience. But it’s not a place you can linger, you eat and go. Highly recommend for good simple Italian food.“

“5 STARS First time there . Ate half of a half & very large portions Tuna w/Swiss let tom, onions peppers oil & vinegar. Best in a long time. Very friendly staff & place very clean. Would deffinitly recommend.Jersey Mikes. I think they also deliver!“

“I really love the North Haledon, NJ location best. The food is really great at that location because Nick the asst manager is amazing. I accidentally rated this lower as I confused it with a subpar Jersey Mike's which this location is not.“

“First visit was yesterday & I must say, I’ll be back again today. I’m new to newark since last year but looking for quality black owned service is hard. This establishment is not only black owned, their food is amazing! I didn’t expect for their Italian hot dog to have so much flavor & it was plain!! The only thing I suggest is salting their fries or maybe you have to ask them for that option, it could be. Overall I will be trying more things off the menu & have found my new deli spot.“

“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.“

“Great experience, service“

“The Italian fish ? sandwich was so bomb! Haven’t ate something I enjoyed in so long.. I added pepper Jack lettuce & tomato! There was no mistake! Lawd god bless all the men involved that made my sandwich ?????️?️?️ and the beautiful women that cashed me out ..“

“Nice place to get u coffee Sandwich and u gas 😍“

“Their subs are sooo good. The bread is always fresh and soft and so are the meats and other ingredients. You may not always find parking, but if you're getting your sandwich to go, this shouldn't be an issue.

Parking: You may not always find parking, but if you're getting your sandwich to go, this shouldn't be an issue.“

“Let’s start by saying hands down the best coffee in town ! The staff are very efficient in what they do there’s nothing to not love about this place they have amazing sandwiches hot/cold dinner/ breakfast they have it all ! There’s a huge selection of different drinks, snacks, house hold items, ect if you need it in your home there’s a very good chance you can find it here they have great hours to accommodate all and the owner and staff are super friendly ! If I can give this place a 100 star ⭐️ rating I would ! I hope you all find the time in your schedules to swing by here a nice lunch or even a cup of hot coffee.“

“In a world where chaos and mediocrity too often prevail, it is a rare and invigorating experience to encounter a pizzeria that stands as a beacon of order and excellence.

The decor is warm and unpretentious, the lighting soft yet deliberate—a space that invites you to sit, to breathe, to reconnect. It is not ostentatious, nor is it neglectful; it strikes that rare chord of intentional simplicity that calms the spirit and focuses the mind. Here, the act of eating transcends mere consumption and becomes a shared ritual, a moment of communion in an age too often defined by isolation

The staff, too, embody virtues that resonate deeply. They are attentive without hovering, competent without arrogance—each interaction a small but meaningful demonstration of responsibility and care.

This is no trivial thing; it reflects a commitment to the dignity of the individual, a principle that ripples outward from the kitchen to the plate.

And then there is the price—fair, reasonable, and reflective of the quality bestowed upon you. It is not a gouging demand, nor a cheap shortcut, but an honest exchange that honors both the effort of those who create and the patronage of those who partake. In a culture where value is often distorted by greed or undervalued by apathy, this pizzeria stands firm in its integrity, offering a meal that satisfies both body and soul without exploiting either, or compromising much of anything.

In sum, this pizzeria is more than a place to eat—it is a humble archetype of what humanity can achieve when we strive for excellence with purpose and pride. It is a sanctuary where the chaos of the everyday is held at bay, where the simple act of breaking bread becomes a celebration of life’s possibilities. I recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone who seeks not just a good pizza, but a taste of the transcendent in the ordinary.

While it is excellent, excellence is a virtue that must be maintained, I think this team is up for the task.

All in all Comet Pizza is my favorite thing since Russell Crowe screamed 'Are you not entertained?!' in the hit motion picture Gladiator back in 2000. I’d fight a tiger in the arena for their pepperoni pie.

It’s pretty good! Definitely will come back!!!“

“Awesome service. Clean restaurant. Definitely recommend.“
