Michelle at the Union, NJ Jersey Mike's deserves the highest recognition. I walked in today…read morecarrying the weight of a negative experience I had elsewhere, and God truly put her into my remembrance for a reason. She completely turned my day around. 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.

Nice soft roll and well made. Highly recommend trying this place.

We went here 2 days in a row - Day one was the roast beef and cheddar with gravy and meatball…read moreparmigiana- the roast beef was incredibly moist and tender just the right amount of cheddar and the gravy was unctuous, the bread toasted to perfection. A 10 out of 10 sandwich! Meatball parmigiana had tender moist meatballs with just the right amounts of seasoning and cheese, once again bread toasted to perfection!! Day two - cheesesteak, eggplant parmigiana and a Monica's favourite tuna Cheesesteak - this sandwich gives Dalessandro's steaks in Philly an run for its money- steak was tender and full of flavour right amount of onion and green peppers, topped with cheddar, if I would have asked for provolone it would have beaten the Philly champ hands down. Eggplant parmigiana was without a doubt the best I've had in years- sauce was full of flavour but you could still taste the tender well seasoned and breaded eggplant- bread toasted perfectly as usual!! The sleeper was the tuna - the olives and banana peppers took the tuna to another place. Just a big WOW Needless to say Pete and Monica were so friendly and accommodating no matter how busy it got they never rushed anyone's order or queries about the 50+ sandwiches on the menu With a little marketing this place could be an absolute nightmare of a line!!!!!! Looking forward to next week's short rib ravioli in mushroom sauce!!!!!!!!!!!! Stupendous value and flavour

I was going for a walk and needed to make a pit stop and I came across Johnny Napkins. I've driven…read moreby this pizza shop many times over the years but it was always at an odd hour when they were closed, so I took this as an opportunity to check it out. Johnny Napkins is a chain of pizza shops (they recently opened a location in Cranford) and it definitely has a sense of humor about itself. When you walk in the walls are painted with various characters including their mascot "Johnny Napkins". It really adds a fun feel to the space. They have plenty of seating including large tables with about 6-8 tall seats around them and a bar where individuals can sit and eat. Shakers with garlic salt, pepper and more are spread throughout the eatery so you can spice up your slices. The main counter has a glass case with a bunch of square and round pies on display. I wound up getting a slice with mushrooms and a BBQ chicken slice. Service was super friendly and efficient. These folks were *busy* with a constant stream of walk-ins and phone calls at the same time. I was very impressed. My slices came quickly and I sat at the counter to enjoy my food. The slice with mushrooms was excellent. Nicely heated up, a good crust and just the right amount of cheese. It was not too salty and had plenty of flavor. The BBQ chicken slice however featured a thicker crust (even though it was a slice from a round pie). I prefer a thinner crust but this was still good with a nice chew. The only reservation I had were the chunks of chicken themselves. They were a *tad* dry but this was the last slice on the platter, so I imagine it had been there for a minute (and I knew this, so this one's on me). I'm really glad I stopped into Johnny Napkins. Now I know it's a good slice and will definitely visit any of their locations in the future.

(And that ATM machine at the corner? It looks like it'll not only steal your identity but your soul as well.) My last visit (2023-ish) I tried their 'combo' (one hot dog, one sausage) which was... okay. But when they're slinging a double Italian hot dog? They're firing on all cylinders. Tommy's is not shy to pile a wicked amount of grub into that pizza bread. The hot dogs kind of get lost under a mountain of deep-fried and oily (but delicious) sliced spuds. (I do wish they weren't so stingy with the peppers and onions to really balance out the meal.) The 'Holy Trinity' when it comes to Italian hot dogs in North Jersey is a no-brainer... Dickie Dee's, Jimmy Buff's and Tommy's. (For me - no one comes close to Dickie Dee's but my one kid said Tommy's was his [current] fave.) As for that couple that came cashless? A good Samaritan behind me pulled out a wad of cash (it's not wise to pull out a fistful of cash anywhere you go but it's ESPECIALLY not wise when you're in the rough and tumble streets of Elizabeth, let's be real) and after swapping Venmo information everything was a-okay. Take-out/to-go only. Parking is atrocious. Guy behind the glass - always aces. (Oh, and... cash only!)

Had the pleasure of stopping into Iorio Deli with friends Eric from Cultinary Road Trip and Tyler…read morefrom Foodula. Had the chance to meet "The Boss" Gilda and her son Joe as well as the rest of the very friendly and helpful staff here. We tried a plethora of things so this may take a minute haha. Started off with two stuffed breads - A Reuben as well as a Pepperoni roll. The Reuben had a great flavor and the bread itself was tasty. It was slightly odd in my mind to eat a Reuben without grilled rye, but I enjoyed this. The pepperoni stuffed bread was also good and was even better with the addition of some sauce (they called it gravy and I thought I was in trouble haha). After that we were hit with some delicious Italian items including their house made meatballs, Italian sausage and peppers, and chicken Parmesan. The meatballs were just rated #1 in Central Jersey and #2 in the entire state of NJ at the Pizza Bowl a few months back. I could see why. Very tender, perfectly seasoned, and again that sauce/gravy was killer. To be honest though, I may have enjoyed the sausage even more! I mentioned how I didn't get hit with that typical overwhelming pop from fennel seed and Joe said they make it with ground fennel so the flavor is still there but it's not so in your face. I loved, and I mean loved, this sausage. The chicken parm was also very good but I had a small piece because I knew what was coming next! We finished off by trying two sandwiches that Iorio is well known for. The first was "The Jocelyn" which was a roast beef and Swiss melt on an onion roll, and the second was "The Sloppiest Joe" which was a North NJ staple "sloppy joe" but in epic proportions. The Jocelyn had good flavor and the onion roll was a nice touch and change of pace. The sloppiest Joe is sitting inside the top 3 I've had probably ever. The meats were freshly sliced and piled high, the rye was super fresh, and the Cole slaw had get flavor and added welcomed creaminess to the sandwich. As if there was any doubt at all - Iorio Deli in Roselle Park, NJ - Didn't Suck!
