The sandwich was really good. I had the beef pastrami with a smir of mustard. We tried the digital menu and I had no idea the menu was so extensive. I have to try some of the other things they have to offer next time. It was nice to see it wasn't to far from me and in my old neighborhood. The service was good and helpful. The prices were good and average for these types of sandwiches. read more

Big Rocs Deli - Beef Pastrami - Delis Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

I've only ever tried the Hot Pastrami sandwich from here. The place is very CLEAN which is definitely a plus and has a nice layout and ambiance to it. There even a Mrs. Pac-Man game that you can play for free while you wait for your food. I think it's a great deli addition to this neighborhood. As for the food, it was okay. Nothing too special in my opinion. I paid $18.60 for a hot pastrami which is on par for these kinds of sandwiches but for the size it definitely could have been bigger. I still would recommend if you really want a hot pastrami and you don't want to go downtown or across town. And I would go back if I was in the area. I'm currently on the search for the BEST pastrami sandwich in Jersey and sadly this just isn't it. But good for the area that it is serving. read more

Big Rocs Deli - Hot Beef Pastrami - Delis Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

I had the pleasure of trying Big Rocs at the Newark House Music Festival. My beef pastrami sandwich was delicious. It's been a few weeks since I had it, but I'm still thinking about it. It's bursting with flavor, and the ingredients are fresh. I'm looking forward to my next sandwich. They were very friendly, and they welcomed me back to try their brisket at the store. If you want to try my order, try: The beef pastrami sandwich on a toasted onion roll with tomato, lettuce, onion, pepper, oregano, mayo, mustard Pro Tip: Take it a step further and fry the pastrami at home.

Absolutely Impressed with this Deli that easily rivals places like Eppes Essen or Hoby's in terms of tenderness of meats. Their pastrami and corned beef was juicy and delicious. The portions were just right and they are very accommodating. The soups were homemade and yummy and prices fair for portion size. Would for sure return again and again . Plus- there is a parking Lot on the side of building. Stop in- sandwhich menu is huge , sides are homemade and genuine have best ice tea and lemonaif read more

Sandwiches are good. I had the corn beef with turkey pastrami. I added Cole slaw and Swiss. Everything was delicious. The only negative is that my sandwich was packed with the coleslaw on the bottom so the bread on the bottom got soggy. I still ate it and I still enjoyed it. read more

I ordered a hot brisket sandwich the sandwich was cold it was drowned in barbecue sauce, the brisket is a low grade meat. Brisket should be lean and not fat the sandwich was overall disgusting. read more

A review consist of more than just the food. Customer service, cleanliness, etc.. The food wasn't bad, but they don't listen very well. I told the guy I wanted pastrami, corned beef, and provolone. I asked for Russian dressing on the side. Got home. No cheese, no dressing. I truly hope this place does not fall into the same pattern as most Essex County establishments. The worse in the State of NJ. Always messing ya order up. It's called paying attention. Spending so much money for ya order not to be complete is unacceptable. I won't be back!!! read more

Sandwiches were huge!!! So good and fresh. Went to a NJ DEVILS game and would gladly get a sandwich before every game instead of paying exorbitant amounts for arena food. Bought sandwiches at the food truck. Thank you!!!! Well worth it. read more

I'm so glad they finally opened their brick and mortar location. It's so hard to find a good pastrami spot. If you grew up on Cooper's, this definitely hits the spot. I've visited the food truck a few times and finally checked out the restaurant. Location isn't bad. You have to find street parking. I'm sure it can be challenging depending on what time of day you go. I walked in and there were quite a bit of people waiting but I don't think I waited more then 15 minutes for 4 sandwiches to be made. I got pastrami on rye with mustard. I wish I had more mustard but I'll be more specific the next time I visit. The pastrami was great. Not super fatty. I had the seafood salad. It was shrimp and imitation crab meat but it was good. They ran out of bean pies. I can't wait to try. I'd highly recommend them. Customer service was great. They have good ordering system. You get a number when you order and they will call the number when it's ready. It's not a tiny space. A good amount of seating. Try them out!! read more
