They have no German Chocolate Cake. It’s become a homogenized vanilla deli and I don’t recommend it over another. Don’t expect it to be like Harold’s in Edison...

After a delivery driver failed to pick up a delivery order, the owner promised to make it right and brought the food to me themselves! I appreciate how much they wanted to make things right. The food was for a sick relative who appreciated it very much and said the soup was perfect.
