    Grilled Chicken Wrap

    Have probably been going to AJ's for over 10 years now. Great food, great people, great service! always fresh !!

    Turkey provolone sub
    John D.

    Was working on a customers house across the street, figured I'd check this out for a good ol deli sub. It's your typical local deli atmosphere. Walked right up and order a 6in sub, an Arizona, and a bag a chip all for $9 which is extremely fair. The sub itself was a quality sub. Tasted fresh and juicy. If I'm ever in the area again, I'd definitely come by again. First time here so I haven't tried anything else. When I was there, saw some other men who were on the job and stop by for a quick bite. It's definitely your grab and go type place. But they do have a 3-5 seats if you did want to eat there.

    Menu since it's nowhere to be found online

    Another place I've been meaning to check out forever now and finally got around to it today. I ordered a turkey and Swiss sloppy joe with fries. The prices are great here, it's only $1.50 to add fries to your order so for the generous sized sandwich and good size side of fries it cost $8.55. The place is dark and looks a little run down inside but I liked the old fashioned look to it. The fries were really good, I love crinkle cut fries and they were done to perfection with a great taste. The sandwich was pretty good, wasn't crazy about the bread because it had an odd taste to it. I would definitely come back and try other sandwiches!

    Great no-frills neighborhood deli. Friendly service, good prices, and best Taylor Ham sandwich in town.

Delivery would be 45-60 minutes, so I set my timer for 30 so I'd be ready to put the light on in the vestibule for the driver to see. Before I knew it, I got a call that the delivery driver, Joshua, was at the door! It wasn't even 30 minutes! He must have cooked my food on the way over! Joshua was very pleasant and the food was very hot! I ordered a large half sausage pizza with a side of fried mushrooms, which were both delicious. The pie had a nice thick crust, which is how I like it. I never eat the bottom crust, but break off the thick crust and scoop up the toppings. It was perfect! The fried mushrooms were tender with a very crispy & tasty coating. They were a nice size and there were plenty of them...even had some left over. Everything from placing the order with a very sweet lady to my last bite was great! I definitely recommend trying this eatery. FYI: There is parking in the lot behind it (same as where Stephanie's Italian restaurant is, since there is no parking allowed in front on Bloomfield Ave.).

The pizza, the chicken Parm hero, and the chicken Caesar salad were all average at best. Frankly, not much different than Domino's or Pizza Hut. I can't say anything about Cedar Grill & Pizza was bad but considering there's a pizzeria every block or so in downtown Caldwell, I think you could do better elsewhere.

Upon entrance, we were pretty surprised by the lovely Valentine's Day decor for the pop up restaurant. It was a set menu for $70 that included starts with a glass of champagne, appetizer, entrée and dessert. We ordered the seafood salad, calamari, lamb chops, filet mignon, chocolate moose and red velvet cake. Everything was super delicious and very fresh tasting, We had bread brought to our table with olive oil.

    ONE STAR -- Heartbreaking Disaster for Our Twin Daughter's First Birthday…read more I am absolutely shocked and heartbroken by the way Calandra's Bakery handled our daughters' first birthday cake. We paid $400 for a custom cake -- and even had to supply our own candy hearts -- and the entire bottom tier collapsed. The cake was constructed incorrectly, the dowels were tilted, and it was sliding off the base. This was not our fault -- this was baker incompetence. The baker was Alida. When we called to report the disaster, the manager Tony was rude, dismissive, and nasty. Instead of helping us salvage the cake, he blamed us, said we should have paid extra for delivery, and then had the nerve to tell us we should drive 35 minutes away, wait 30 minutes while he "fixed" it, and drive 35 minutes back -- all while our twins party was happening. Absolutely unbelievable. After threatening a fraud dispute, Tony finally sent a replacement cake -- which was just a plain white cake with basic piping, looked nothing like what we ordered, and: * Arrived late (promised 2:20, showed up at 2:55) * Our event ended at 3 * Was stale, ugly, and poorly decorated * Had gray piping, not the promised rainbow design When we tried to get an ETA for the replacement cake, Tony did not answer any of our phone calls. When it finally arrived, his attitude was the same -- dismissive and rude -- telling us to "be patient" while the delivery men shrugged at the ruined original cake and tossed it aside. No apology. No compensation. When we asked for compensation, Tony yelled and blamed us, despite the cake being a complete failure due to their mistakes. We were celebrating a once-in-a-lifetime milestone for our daughters, and Calandra's Bakery ruined it entirely. For $400, you expect care, professionalism, and a beautiful cake -- we got disrespect, incompetence, and heartbreak instead. Do not trust Calandra's Bakery with anything that matters.

For Christmas Eve, with my daughter and two granddaughters in town, we made a reservation for five and paid the required $200 deposit. The restaurant was busy due to the holiday, which we completely understood. Service was slow but expected, and we were enjoying the live music and conversation. After receiving our entrées, a frightening incident occurred: my 15-year-old granddaughter was drinking from her glass when it suddenly shattered in her mouth. I saw it happen. Glass shards landed in her mouth and in her plate of food. We immediately brought the broken glass and plate to the staff and asked if the entrée could be remade. A woman who identified herself as the owner came over. She did not ask if my granddaughter was okay, offered no apology, and stated that they would not remake the food, even after I offered to pay for a replacement. At that point, we asked for to-go boxes and our check. The check arrived without deducting the $200 deposit, requiring me to go to the desk to have it corrected, and a refund was needed since the total did not reach the deposit amount. What was most upsetting was not the accident itself, those things happen, but the owner's complete lack of concern, empathy, and professionalism. We were treated as though we were trying to take advantage of the restaurant, despite being frequent patrons who had already paid for the meal. The wait staff has always been kind and professional, which makes this experience even more disappointing. Unfortunately, after this incident, we will not be returning and will be taking our business elsewhere.

The staff I encountered were friendly & patient, which is shockingly not the norm these days! I ordered the tuna melt & fries & took a seat at the counter. I was the only one sitting along the counter, but there are also a few tables in the back that had parties at them. My food was ready relatively quickly & was served to me with a smile. The fries were of the steak cut variety, which aren't my favorite, but no fault of the delis - just my personal preference. They were cooked well & served hot - can't ask for much more! The tuna melt was actually a sandwich & not an open faced sandwich, as they tend to be, and I found that to be a pleasant surprise. Open faced tend to get soggy quickly. The tuna was aplenty & it was delicious. The bread was perfectly toasted & buttery as well. I do wish it was served with a pickle spear, though. Not sure if that's the norm & mine was forgotten or if it is not served as such. Either way, I'm obviously grasping at straws. Otherwise, it was a delightful lunch. I'm happy to have discovered The Cutting Board & even happier they are in the immediate area of my job, I will definitely be back to try more.
