    First started coming here back in late 2018, & can't believe I never reviewed it. It's a small shack that sits on a gravel lot right off of Route 22E. Sandwiches are made to order, either build your own, or from their signature menu. They have other items, but I only ever get the grilled cheese. In this case, the Stone Pony. Service is always friendly, they'll engage you in a good chat while you wait. There are a few benches and tables to sit and eat at off to the side with some umbrellas for shade, but that's it. This small unassuming place is 100% worth the stop. So easy to miss, it's one of Union County's best kept secrets. Grade: Stone Pony: A+

    I opted for the C.A.T and it was so yummy! As others have mentioned, this is not a place to visit and dine in, but there were tables off to the side. I think this is a great lunch option, and I look forward to coming back!

    The place is basically a shed so if your looking for a nice sit down meal not the place but it's. It supposed to be!!! The sandwiches are great. Really enjoyed it. My cardiologist might not agree but sometimes you gotta just go for it and enjoy!! We will be going back.

    I went here for the first time on a Friday afternoon and the service was very nice and attentive. My mother got a C.A.T with no balsamic glaze and spinach added and she thoroughly enjoyed the sandwich. I myself got a sandwich on Multigrain with Swiss and Mozzarella,Herb Grilled Chicken,Sun Dried Tomatoes,Spinach and Pesto. My sandwich was amazing as I was able to taste every ingredient on the sandwich. It was a wonderful fall atmosphere with a slight breeze and a bit of nature to enjoy. I will definitely be returning.

    Went looking for something different to eat in the area and stumbled upon this place on here. The sandwiches were so good & the service was incredible. It was raining out when we went and I was told to wait in my car and my food would be brought to me, it was a small but thoughtful gesture that guarantees we'll be back.

    Dagwood.... grilled cheese with ham and tomato- and caramelized onions and mustard ... yummy

    Still getting great sandwiches here Closes early so check times Pablo at the register is so pleasant when taking orders on the phone or at the front! I praise amazing customer service and nice people I don't get to talk to the cook who I think is the owner much but when he has taken my order - also very kind Will keep coming here !!! Turkey Reuben is my go to BTW

    Moving forward using all my breath Making love to you was never second best I saw the world crashing all around your face Never really knowing it was always mesh and lace I'll stop the world and melt with you You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time There's nothing you and I won't do I'll stop the world and melt with you

The kind of confidence that doesn't announce itself, it just delivers. Then there's the crema de cilantro and aji, which basically tag team your taste buds and ask, "You good?" Yes. I'm great. Mind your business. This is not a, "Instagram made me do it" sandwich. This is a composed, disciplined, shut up and eat sandwich. Every ingredient is there on purpose. No freeloaders. The owner is a Peruvian chef who lived in Canada and now cooks in New Jersey, which explains why this sandwich has flavor, restraint, and zero patience for mediocrity. This isn't fusion, it's life experience on bread. Fair warning: eating this will ruin weaker sandwiches for you. You'll start asking questions. You'll judge more. You'll be disappointed elsewhere.

I grew up like that. The sauce though was really good. Like a sweet BBQ almost. They topped it with cheese which of course was all too good. I also got the Aloha burger. I think I will always get that there. It is so tasty! The sauces and angus burger just tasted sooo good! I also got the bacon chicken sandwich, the mayo was sooo good on that. I think it was an umami mayo or something. I got both pies and both did not disappoint! We got there right on time too because there was only two other people and as we sat down to wait for our food, a huge rush came in. Good to know the people like it!

I hadn't been to this location in over a year, but Michelle reminded me what real customer service looks like. She was patient, kind, and genuinely attentive -- especially as she helped me navigate my birthday points. She never rushed me, never made me feel like a burden, and walked me through everything with a smile. And let me say this: people underestimate the gift it takes to make a perfect sandwich. I watched her work, and the precision, care, and pride she put into every step was beautiful. She made my sandwich flawlessly. On top of that, she offered me a drink on the house -- a small gesture that meant a lot on my birthday. Michelle is the kind of employee who brings people back. She is warm, professional, and naturally gifted at what she does. If she ever opens her own restaurant, I would support her without hesitation. She made my birthday meal special, and I want her to know she is appreciated. Michelle deserves recognition, appreciation, and yes -- Employee of the Month. She earned it.
