50 Best Delis near South Amboy

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“Consistent good food and portions. Friendly staff.“

“Growing up with a polish mom Kielbasa was one of her prepared dishes with sauerkraut. (I skipped the kraut)😖but the kielbasa at Stas’s deli is the best I have ever had. (Fine ground). If you do polish cooking (I don’t generally) they have a great variety for you.“

“Some of the best sandwiches I've ever eaten. And the staff are awesome.“

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

“I'm pretty confident that Jama offers the most affordable sandwichs without compromising quality of ingredients.

Oh, and if you are big of flavored drinks, Jama stocks a variety of flavors and brands that may be uncommon to see. Of note, he stocks an uncommon range of flavors from Arizona in can and plastic bottle. He even carries their gummy snacks.“

“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 :)“

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!

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.“

“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!!!!! 💗“

“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“

“Great food. Great prices.“

“I've been going to this place since I was a kid with my mother and Grandmother. the bologna is delicious. the kielbasa is amazing. the handmade pierogies, so good. I now take my kids there..“

“I ordered a chicken parm hero.. the bread was the best part.. the guy microwaved.. I repeat MICROWAVED the chicken for the chicken parm.. surely there’s a better way ? A little toaster oven maybe? But microwave a chicken cutlet ? 🤦🏻‍♀️I’ll go back to buy bread but never a hero“

“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!“

“My favorite breakfast and lunch place in the area! The absolute best egg and cheese pork roll!! It’s so good that I constantly crave it and even better, the prices are extremely reasonable. The cold cuts are also really, really good. $2 large coffee is also amazing! The best part is that this place is family run and Mr and Mrs. Lee are the sweetest people who always brighten my day“

“I’ve lived in parlin all my life and this place has always been my go to for a delicious breakfast sandwich, a hearty and fresh sub, some lottery and a quick drink on the way to work. Consistently good quality, friendly people, and a place where people know your name. You can also call ahead to place your sandwich orders if need be. A must stop if you need something quick.“

“By far one of the best subs I have ever had!!! The food is amazing, along with a clean environment and great customer service. I was served by Ashley 🤗 at the register, and plus she was the cook for me and husband's order. She was very knowledgeable of the menu, and offered the best suggestions tailored to me and my husband's taste. This has become one of my favorite spots to eat at. If you are looking for a great tasting hot or cold sub, this is the place for you and everyone you know.

We ordered the ( Chicken Cheesesteak, The Mr. Meaty Cheesesteaks, and The Angry Bird)!“
