Sandwich Shops near Watchung

“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“

“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!“

“Super service and delicious food. We are lucky to have you in our neighborhood and Westfield! The picnic tables are even better especially when the weather is so nice. Gracias! 5 stars!“

“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!“

“Great subs!!! Ribeye was fantastic!!!“

“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.“

“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“

“Everything is so fresh and everything taste wonderful. Staff is absolutely fantastic. Very nice and friendly.“

“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.“

“I recommend all sandwiches but my favorite one is the chicken Caesar ciabatta sandwich. A salad but sandwich style. It’s so good it’s a must get. Workers there are friendly. I come here often for the corn muffins there the best I’ve ever had.“

“good food and great idea for a place.“

“Great and welcoming staff. I ordered a basic bacon egg and cheese. Portions were decent, the eggs were fluffy and cheesy, and the bacon was crisp. Can't ask for anything better.

Parking: large parking lot with a minimum of 10 spaces“

“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. ❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Great people, sandwiches and soup“

“I order from Subslingers often, whether it’s for lunch or to cater for a party, I’ve never been disappointed. I recommend the Destroyer Cold Sub. The ingredients are fresh, the bread is fluffy and the sandwich is always filled with lots of meat.“

“I needed to order a very nice lunch platter for a friend’s Shiva and the owner Jackie and her son went above and beyond to make it happen for my friend’s and me. They not only accommodated my request on a holiday weekend but were genuinely happy to help me. I heard the sandwiches were fantastic and beautifully presented. Thank you again, Jackie, and the staff at this wonderful deli! I will forever be grateful for your “can-do” attitude and service.“

“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!“

“Asked for the "Kim" Salade... Its garden salad topped with one scoop each of egg, tuna and chicken salads! Add red onions, olives, carrots (shreaded in garden salade). Add what other ingredients you desire and enjoy. I personally like french dressing, sorry?

Alsooo, almost forgotten! Be prepared to take a nap! ?“

“The food here is amazing as well as the healthy drinks. I wake up craving their breakfast sandwiches and owner Francisco is the nicest guy“

“best subs around the BLT is awsome“

“They did an excellent job catering our family Christmas party. Ordering was easy and food was ready and hot at the agreed upon pickup time. Best of all everything was delicious.“

“I worked at J&M for years and this was the best nearby place for lunch when tips were good on a Saturday. I realized over the years that this is by far the best sloppy joe sandwich anywhere in north New Jersey. I now live in the greater Philadelphia area, and still bring a cooler with me when I travel to the Madison area to bring a few of these sandwiches back with me to enjoy. So happy to see they are still in business, glad that some good things never change!“

“When I don't have
leftovers for lunch
Au Bon is my go to place!
Staff remember my favorite food selections!
Perfectly made for me!

Sometimes I dine in or take it to go!

Great music selection!
Love the sandwiches, soups and salads.
Enjoy hot or cold lattes!

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

Highly recommend!“

“Been there twice. 1st trip they where out of bottles soda...not that big a.deal. the 2nd trip they didn't have any bread ???
Now 3rd trip. Ordered on line. Arrived at specified time only to wait another 30 min for order.
Not sure what other locations do that this one doesn't...but this one on Rt 22 always seems to be a problem.
Will be going to the other location ...it's further away...but never a delay or problem.“

“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.“

“I have NEVER, IN ALL THE YEARS I've been there had even one bad sub. Ever! Best Subs around...blows away all those "chain" sub places.“

“We had been to this place on our way to New York. A good subway place with enough room for customers to sit and dine. There are plenty parking as well. There was only one person to serve and the young lady was very friendly and provided a thankful service. Subway we ordered was very delicious and I would go there anytime. Since there was only one person working there, I experienced a bit of a delay. Again that happens in most Subway places away from cities. There is a clean restroom as well.“

“Great sandwiches and friendly workers“

“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! 🙂“

“Delicious sandwiches! Great to see businesses opening up in our community and seeing local friendly faces!!!“

“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!“

“I recently visited Jersey Mike’s and had a fantastic experience! The Mike’s Famous Philly may not win any beauty contests, but the flavors are absolutely on point—juicy, well-seasoned, and packed with goodness. The service was top-notch, with friendly employees who genuinely seemed happy to be there, which made the vibe so welcoming. The place was clean, and my order was prepared quickly. I’ll definitely be back for more!“

“We were alerted to a BOGO special where you can buy two subs and get one free. We ordered the roast ? with cheese ? sub included with spinach, tomato ?, cucumber ? and pickles. The other sub was a steak and chicken sandwich with provolone cheese ? and the third sub another steak and cheese. Each sub was made perfectly with seasonings. The taste was phenomenal and they delivered it within the hour as promised. Outstanding service and food quality.“

“To the guy who gave my wife a ham and provolone sub to celebrate the birth of our first child, you sir, are a true gentleman. This is the one thing she's been looking forward to for the past 39 weeks, and you made it that much more delicious. Our favorite sub place is cemented as our only sub place now.“
