44 Best Sandwich Shops near Parlin

“After one of the most stressful days of my life, I have give a shout out to this particular Jersey Mikes store. I’m a mom of three and had been running around ALL day for the sake of my kids. Getting two to before school activities, getting another to a different school on time, getting a call from school for one kid being sick, running errands, going to work, getting kids from bus stops, getting kid from after school program and a slew of other things I’ve blocked out ( you know “Mom stuff”) I decided to treat my littles to a sandwich for a quick dinner. It’s their birthday tomorrow so my daughter proudly wore her birthday crown into the store and proceeded to be her friendly self with the staff. We ordered our subs and went to pay but somewhere in my travels I misplaced my debit card. Embarrassed, I apologized to the staff for my negligence and promised to return for our food after going home to get my card. The 3 staff behind the counter simply smiled at me and slid the bag across the counter to my daughter and said “Happy Birthday”. That has got to be the nicest thing that could have happened today. Thanking them about 5 times and still promising to come back with payment I was told not to worry about it, all was good. Long story short, I climbed into my car with my kids and found my debit card between my car seat. I ran back inside to settle up now that I found my card, they still told me “nope, you’re good ma’am”. I just want to say how grateful I am and how sweet a gesture it was they made to a slightly overwhelmed mom. Thank you so much.“

“Absolutely amazing and delicious better than any Jersey mikes or subway“

“Edited (typo on price in original) and adjusting now that I've had time to think objectively...

I’ve always loved this place and supported since it opened. I’m a little disappointed with an order for my family- 1 classic heavyweight and 2 classic lightweights. They seemed to have shrunk the lightweight, to half the size of the heavyweight (used to seem more like a 10” for LW vs 12” for HW)… I could be wrong as I usually get the Heavyweight for myself, but others mentioned it seemed smaller.

Regardless, the bigger issue to me is the lightweight is $9 on the menu and heavyweight is $16 (I incorrectly put $14 in original post), while the lightweights we received are barely smaller than half of the heavyweight. The HW is on top and LW on bottom in the picture I attached. Since the lightweight is half the size, then people shouldn’t be charged extra and the price should be half. Otherwise, people paying $2 more for two lightweights will feel cheated. Granted it’s only $2, but the price after add-ons and tax is already premium. Bottom line the quality of food here is great, but the point is I could have ordered two heavyweights and paid less. I will be sharing with family/friends to avoid this from happening to them… order heavyweights and share to not be over-charged when ordering lightweights“

“Wow! This is the best Mr subs location! East Brunswick has the best crew. They go above and beyond every single time. Definitely get the angry bird! They also have the Best Italian sub ever! Staff recommended to add bacon and banana pepper and it was DELICIOUS!! WOWWW“

“Always friendly and courteous. Food is always tasty. :)“

“like a lot of the other reviews, i have allergies and my order was treated with so much kindness and care. all of the staff members were super friendly and assured my order would be made as safely as possible. i have a strict gluten-free diet and was thrilled to try something new and fast. thanks!“

“When you are 1000 of miles away and you still can taste the sandwich, it is good. When you return to visit, you make sure you have cash, and this is the first stop always. And maybe another before you leave.“

“Good and fast service good food“

“I'd like to ask a question. Do they make their own salads? Tuna, Egg, & the sides. Macaroni, Potato, Slaw....We are looking for a good sandwich business to patronize... Thank you for taking the time to answer, I'd really appreciate it“

“No longer in actual food trucks, but they taste the same. Their service is quick. Still the best fat sandwiches I’ve bought. Everywhere else is just a copy. A staple in the grease trucks community that you have to try at least once. Whenever I’m around Rutgers I have to get one. Fat Nini w/ extra honey mustard!“

“I called my order of loaded fries no chipotle mayo. Came in paid and left. I got to my destination ready to eat and there’s chipotle mayo all over. I went back and spoke to the young lady at the counter with the cooper hair. I told her I wanted a refund because I called in my order and it was wrong she did offer to make me another but I refused due to the fact that if my order was messed up to begin with instead of letting me leave with it, the young man and young lady with the braids knew it was wrong but still bagged it as if everything was correct. They didn’t even offer an apology for their mistakes. I understand that mistakes happen but it should’ve been corrected before I even got there. Time and gas wasted because of laziness.

Update. I would like to make an update to my pervious review. First I would like to say the manager Alejandro is the only reason I’m updating my review. He was very attentive with resolving the issue and making sure I had a better experience than better. His attentiveness and care for the customer is something that isn’t found with a lot of businesses. His customer service was excellent.“

“great subs and the macaroni is delicious. 5 stars all day“

“It's a very simple place to get a simple sandwich or something a little bit more. Concocted or even without any bread and turn it into a type of platter. Whatever you're looking for they have it here. Roast beef turkey oven roasted smoked swiss cheese provolone white. They got it all here and on. Good half 7 in or 16-in subs.“

“Gave a 5 for the atmosphere although I haven’t been there. I imagine it’s top notch based off of the customer service experience I had with a young gentleman on the phone today. I made an Uber Eats order and called to make an adjustment to my sandwiches. The young man on the phone was professional and did not hesitate to make sure that my accommodations would be granted. I wish I caught his name but the call took place at approximately 3:36PM on 1OCT25. He was exactly what I expect when calling an eatery. Prompt, direct, and accommodating. No questions asked, no back and forth. As someone who works in the industry it was greatly appreciated.“

“Great local sub shop where you get a nice hearty sandwich for the money (CASH ONLY). Their portions put's the likes of Jersey Mike's to shame. Staff doesn't seem happy and not the friendliest, but hey, you can't have it all.“

“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“

“Very cold but we manage.
Can you also tell people to keep their hands from off the glass because it’s a sanitary issue. Nobody knows what is on anybody’s hands. Anything can fall off their hands and arms. Please let your employees be more on a watch out with this and this is not the first time.“

“If you want a great, "old school" alternative to Tastees, this is the spot! I don't think they've changed the menu board since the 80s, maybe earlier. Handmade with care and attention to detail, the sandwiches are delicious and fresh. There are very few healthy beverage options, but Bai water is one and a good selection of flavors available. Friendly service and vintage interior decor make this sandwich shop a great stop along Woodbridge Avenue. Pictured is the tuna with pickles on the side.“

“Ive been staying here in Edison for like a month and have been trying to find a good cheesesteak like back home in Delaware. This place hands down has the best cheesesteaks in the area that I've found. Sesame seed roll, Cooper cheese, and of course Ribeye meat! I paired it with some fries whichwere good a good crunch but soft.“

“good food and great idea for a place.“

“I just moved to So. Plainfield, my Grandson Rob, too k me there to get Lunch, I had a sloppy Corned Beef Sandwich, Delicious, and the bread was a 10 . 👍👍👍Great Food. Debbie was so friendly, oh and the best Potato Salad. ❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Tucked in a corner of Walmart, the space is adequate for a good 20 min meal. Friendly staff. Usually has veggie patties and vegetarian options.
Every time I visit this store, I feel sure about the options I can get.

Vegetarian options: Veggie patties and other vegetables in the mix“

“I went to Just Subs to place an order for a gathering involving a large number of people. I had reviewed the menu and had come up with a figure of $300.00, which by my calculations would provide enough subs, salads and sides for all involved. Probably with some left over. Joe the owner and his employee Desire questioned me about the number of people I wished to serve, and at that point told me that I was ordering too much food! Upon Joe's advice, I ordered a menu which came to a final total of $215.00! Everything was delicious, and there was some left over, just as Joe supposed there would be. It was a nice, professional gesture on his part, and a good way to treat a customer.“

“Great people, sandwiches and soup“

“Had delivered Breakfast panini and butternut squash soup. Both were hot and delicious and I ordered from them by accident. Still came to me hot. The breakfast panini is giving breakfast sandwiches run for its money. The soup was really nice too. Good consistency and taste“

“I’ve been here several times for breakfast sandwiches. They have been phenomenal each time. They definitely don’t skimp out like other delis and give you this roll with a tiny amount of eggs and meat. These are large sandwiches packed to the gills. And so tasty!! Love this deli. Want to try lunch next time!“

“I had just driven over 2 hours from Philly. Ran to the bathroom right away. Jack could sense the urgency and directed me right away. Asked if the bathroom was clean, it most certainly was. I'm already impressed. I've only been to JMs maybe 4 times. Manan made my sub. We discussed hot ham. I was like no way. He let me try it. Both were so sociable and friendly. Well mannered young men. They're doing your establishment proud. I'll definitely be back!!!“

“Sandwich Station-Colonia ,Nj was my three children’s go to after school - especially on Tuesdays! For 4-years while they attended High School. All now in college now and finally got time to order so I decided to Order ( My very first time). I ordered the Chef Salad which was just fantastic! So Fresh! The cucumbers sliced Perfectly- not thick cute like other places! I also ordered a side of chicken and I was so surprised how much was given - nice portion! Had a few of the kids fries! Heavenly!!! Sandwich Station- my new Go-To!“

“The woman behind the counter was super nice and accommodating. The sub was pretty packed with Boars Head meat. Toppings were fresh. Bread was fresh. Think next time I would ask for extra vinegar because there wasn’t enough. I went by Sunday morning because I saw they made breakfast sandwiches, but they weren’t open.“

“best subs around the BLT is awsome“

“Not only is the food good, but the free psychological counseling Carol provides is absolutely priceless! I love this place.“

“I came in on Saturday for a quick meal and was completely satisfied with everything. The girl working there was attentive to my requests and made the sandwich just how I wanted. The atmosphere was clean and the chips were stocked and also had a good variety of drinks to choose from. Will definitely be going back, and hopefully be seeing the same girl working there again!“

“When I don't have

Au Bon is my go to place!

Sometimes I dine in or take it to go!

Great music selection!
Love the sandwiches, soups and salads.

When I am craving a sweet treat! I get the chocolate croissant!

Highly recommend!“

“I was working in the area and had a couple of hours of downtown.
Stopped here on the fly to grab a Bacon, Egg & Cheese Hero Sandwich.
AMAZING!!
If I'm ever in the area again, I will definitely stop by and try something else on their menu.“

“I had a great experience at this Subway location .The store was clean and well organized. Bhavin was very friendly and took my order patiently, and bhavin prepared the sandwich perfectly with fresh ingredients. Their customer service was outstanding and made the visit pleasant. I truly appreciate the hard work of the staff. Highly recommended!“

“The employee that waited on my son and I was one of the most respectful and well communicated kids I’ve ever witnessed working at a fast food place. He was a great example to my newly teenage son. I was not expecting a life lesson with my sub but I’ll take it.“

“Everything is nice and clean the is hut and fresh service is really good“

“First time here and it gave me old school Jersey Shore boardwalk vibes. Got cheesesteak and fries and mozzarella sticks, everything was clean , seasoned well and the cheese was cheesing! Down to ice for the beverages. The service was excellent. Everything was handled well and I’ll be back very soon. Charley’s for the win“

“I don’t know the employees name, but occasionally I run in with a last minute craving on my way to work @8:30pm. I know it’s towards the end of the night, but she is still always so pleasant and my food always made perfect and quickly. Tonight’s turkey sandwich was no exception. Too many times people just complain or take good service for granted, and I’d love to see see them get the recognition deserved. Some of us do appreciate it, especially when we’re running to work. Thank you! 🙂“

“We order subs form here at least twice a month. Subs are always pretty good BUT today I ordered a meatball sub.. All I can say is it was the nastiest meatball sub I ever ate! I’m sure the meatball sub from WaWa is much better. The sub contained a crap load of sauce and mushed meat not even meatballs. The meat tasted like the cheap meat from a can. Every time I think of it I want to vomit 🤮!!!! I normally place online orders but today I went in. They don’t even put paper down while making your sandwich they place the bread on the counter and slide it from one side to the other. I didn’t complain since it looked clean BUT I will Not be ordering from there again. What a waste of $15. I tried giving the rest to my dog but he didn’t even eat it. He put it in his mouth then spit it back out. If a dog won’t eat what does that tell you???! I would really like a refund but reality I know I ain’t going to get one. So I will WARN all those who like meatball subs DO NOT go to Jersey Mikes in Matawan. They truly suck. I can’t get the nasty meat flavor out of my mouth. Smh I hope the cheese steak I picked up for my husband is good......“

“Honestly, the lady behind the counter is not the nicest, but they have the best turkey sandwiches and i love their brownies! I have tried a lot of sandwiches but there sandwiches hit different ? One day i need to try more stuff off their menu!“

“This is my go-to Subway! Rishi and Mahi are always so nice and welcoming every time I come in. They consistently give great portions, and the food is always fresh and made just how I like it. Their kindness and attention to detail make this location stand out. Highly recommend!“
