The combination of good food and excellent service make this a go-to place anytime of the year. Personally I'd rather go to small business owners who are compassionate in their craft and take time out to ask how the food was and talk a little about themselves and when they started their businesses. These are the backbone of our economy. Would I go back to Lenora's Cafe? That's for sure and try out more mouth-watering dishes anytime of the year!

The quesadilla itself was fine: the meat was juicy but could've used more flavor. We did order a side of guac which was pretty yummy.

If I came back here, I'd likely try an item off the breakfast menu next time.

The few empty tables they had still had old plates and cups on them so one had to be cleaned for us. We think only one person was working as they were doing it all. Wings- delicious. Ripped seitan deep fried and crispy exterior with slightly soft insides. Flavored really well with a sweet chili dipping sauce and what appeared to be a buffalo style aioli on the sweet side. I could have eaten the whole plate- just wish there was a savory dipping sauce too. Kung Pao Fusion- amazing flavor, love anything with zucchini- and slight heat as well. The soy protein in this had great density and was filling. Curry- sliced crispy cutlet on top of a curry sauce with tofu and potatoes- very hearty and a great comfort dish. I think the cutlet was out of place and would have preferred the soy protein from the Kung Pao dish. Very generous portions and the food needs to be experienced fresh! Interesting menu with the mix of sandwiches but stick with the pan-asian dishes.

Paper Bag Deli: A Corner Classic Delivering More Than Just a Meal…read more From the moment you step through Paper Bag Deli's storefront, you know you've found something special. This isn't just a corner shop; it's a neighborhood beacon where the scent of toasted bread and simmering fillings promises a feast before you even open the door. The moment you enter, you're greeted with warmth from the staff that offers a genuine smile that says you're exactly where you're meant to be. Food that feels larger than life, in the best possible way. Paper Bag Deli specializes in sandwiches that are tremendously sized and meticulously built, each one a triumph of balance and bombastic flavor. The bread is a front-row performer--crusty on the outside, yielding and begs to be bitten into, with a fragrance that wraps around you like a cozy scarf. Inside, fillings arrive in generous, thoughtfully proportioned layers, ensuring every bite carries a chorus of textures and profiles. Classic staples elevated with a chef's touch: premium cold cuts sliced thin yet abundant, house-made spreads that crackle with personality, and garden-fresh veggies that snap with life. Signature creations that feel like handcrafted love letters to flavor: inventive combos that play with savory, tangy, and bright notes, all harmonized to keep you coming back for more. Heroic portions that invite sharing or the satisfying conquest of a solo gourmet victory. A deliberate balance: no element overpowers another, allowing each component to shine--protein, cheese, crunch, aroma, and a whisper of tang. A menu that respects tradition while inviting curiosity, with options that cater to bold tasters and casual diners alike. Service that feels like a feature, not an afterthought. The crew at Paper Bag Deli reads the room with grace and ease, offering suggestions when you want them and giving you space when you don't. They remember regulars, greet newcomers like old friends, and treat every guest as a valued member of the Paper Bag family. It's the kind of service where timing is perfect, questions are answered with insight, and the energy remains cheerful without tipping into noisy or rushed. The atmosphere completes the experience. A corner storefront that buzzes with amiable chatter, the clink of glassware, and the irresistible aroma of grilled fillings wafting onto the street. It's lively without being loud, intimate without feeling closed off--a versatile space for a quick lunch, a celebratory bite, or a casual lingering meal. In sum, Paper Bag Deli isn't just a place to eat; it's a destination that elevates everyday cravings into memorable moments. The sandwiches are magnificently large and delicious, crafted with evident pride and skill. The service is warmth incarnate, turning a simple meal into a genuine feast of hospitality. If you haven't stopped by yet, consider this your call to discover a neighborhood treasure where flavor, generosity, and character wrap you in a Paper Bag kind of delight.

I of course used Yelp to find a good diner on my drive from New Brunswick to Atlantic City. I found Broad Street located in Keyport not far from the Garden State Parkway. It's your "classic" diner which has that 1950's vibe with the exterior and interior decor. Elvis paraphernalia is featured here. They had a busy lunch crowd. I sat at the counter and ordered a McCaffrey Wrap which comes with grilled chicken, bacon, cheddar jack cheese, lettuce, tomato and honey mustard. It was really good. The side of sweet potato fries were crispy and seasoned just right. The staff were courteous and the service quick. There is a small parking lot that can accommodate about five cars.

We got there on a Friday eventing at 5. Knowing that they don't take reservations and that there aren't that many tables we wanted to make sure that we would get a table. It is a lovely place run by lovely attentive volunteers. The whole backstory and the good they are doing goes beyond what the food tastes like. The restaurant asks for food donations (suggested $30 per person) for a 3 course meal but if you can't afford to pay you can volunteer some time for your food as well. So several tables are filled with homeless men and women who were also dining there. The appetizer and entree were tasty but the dessert (a chocolate brownie) was a bit hard and stale. Overall it was a wonderful experience that everyone should go to at least once.
