One of my top 3 picks for best subs. Get in, get out, be eating. See the other reviews. It is an "old school" sandwich shop with a lot of "regulars". They are consistent with delicious well crafted subs. Every sub I've had from here has been on fresh bread and packed with thinly sliced meat and veggies. They can get very busy, so you may want to decide what you want and how you want it; there will be minimal conversation. Called in orders have been on point. Never had a bad sandwich from here. Daras rocks! read more

I've been going to Dara's since they opened (as Kampy's) back in the 70s. (I still call it Kampy's.) I never fail to get here at least once every time I'm home. My favorite is the #14: boiled ham, salami, provolone. This place came along right when we needed it ... just after George's (next to Pappy & Nooks on Westfield ave.) had closed down if I remember correctly. (last visited May 21, 2015) read more

The subs here are phenomenal. Definitely one of the best if not the best sub places in Elizabeth. You won't be disappointed!

I just started going to Daras and I gotta say this is my new spot. The staff is super friendly and the sub sandwiches are AWESOME!!! Their subs are always fresh and are full of meat and toppings. They have a full list of sandwiches and salads that you can choose from. The lady that runs the register, makes sandwiches, answers the phone, and talks to every customer is sweet and pleasant to speak with. The guys that make the sandwiches are consistent with each and every order and do speak to you as well. Establishments in the Union county area should follow there lead of excellent service with quality food. read more

Been coming here for years but never again! Today I received disrespect directly from the ownership. Today I came in with my grandfather and thought I could just add some ham and cheese to their #42 sandwich (pulled pork sandwich) which everyone is well aware that combining pulled pork with ham and Swiss makes a Cuban sandwich. Well since these guys don't have Cuban sandwiches on the menu maybe they were offended that I wanted ham and Swiss on my pulled pork sandwich. We waited at a table since we were gonna eat in anyways and waited 20 minutes to get just bread with just pork n cheese!!! No ham??? Really?? I understand, I really do, and that's why I ate it and didn't get crazy on these guys not to mention all of the Elizabeth police department eats here on a daily. The owners of the place (I think they're owners) (the brothers that look alike). So I rather just leave a review and let the world know that Dara's deli doesn't like making Cuban sandwiches even when a paying customer just wants to simply add ham n cheese to a pulled pork sandwich! It ain't happening! I just kept my mouth shut paid and kept it moving. And before I end this review I need to mention why I'm giving them 1 star. AFTER I PAID I WAITED AT THE DOOR FOR MY GRANDFATHER AND HEARED THE OWNER TELL THE ORDER TAKER THAT I SHOULD GO TO A PLACE THAT SELLS CUBAN SANDWICHES IN CRANFORD AND WHAT THAT WAS I THINKING. I can't believe that kind of disrespect. This place is great and all but I don't think I should ever go back to be bluntly honest I think they just want to pump out Italian sandwiches and if u don't like it u can go elsewhere. So I guess my money is no longer good here bc I've been a customer for years and if I want to add ham n cheese to a pulled pork sandwich then I should get it with ham n cheese. I hope the owners read this review and make some changes to their attitude. Your attitude stinks!! Here's a picture of the pork sandwich! read more

Dara's Caterers - Here's the sloppy ass pulled pork without ham! - Caterers Near Me - Elizabeth, New Jersey

Usually this place is on point, but lately the potato salad is raw! The potatoes are hard as a rock and they are barely even cooked. I am so disappointed. It happened to me the last 3 times that I ordered. At first, I thought it was just a bad batch, but for it to happen 3 times in a month, well something is clearly wrong. Everything else seems to be fine, but when you are really looking forward to a nice potato salad to accompany your delicious sandwich...well it is very frustrating to say the least. PS...if you have never tried the Garlic Mayo on your sandwich, you are missing out !! read more

Daras has the BEST subs around! My favorite is the Italian. I am also OBSESSED with the Joey Meatball. The meatballs are so good I could of sworn a little old grandma straight from Italy was back there rolling them out. read more

Delicious roast beef melt- a favorite of myself and the bf!

My favorite sub shop!! I remember my parents raving about this place back when they were my age. It's nice to see some things haven't changed. High quality subs and staff is so friendly. They do catering orders and call aheads. I also love the pasta salads they make daily. I won't go anywhere else for subs!!! read more

Best place to get a sub !!! Omg I went on a Saturday, Craving a sub (and nasty subway was NOT an option,ever lol) on a beautiful sunny day lol...so I went with my boyfriend and both ordered a roast beef sub with provolone cheese, with lettuce tomato extra mayo oil vinegar salt and pepper and we also got a small potatoe and a small elbow pasta salad and it was one of the best subs I've ever had !!' The pasta salad was soooooooo flavorful (and much better than the potatoe salad...(potato salad was lacking more mayo) lol) .... It was SOOOOOOO GOOD that I made boyfriend go back the next day and made him get it again for us ! Lol!!!! read more

I just had a great lunch here. It's a real old school place complete with 70s wood panelling but the sandwiches are awesome. I usually am wary of ordering tuna salad out, but the tuna was great. The hero roll was fresh and crusty. Service was very friendly and efficient. I can't wait to go back and try a different sandwich. read more

Everything is good here. I suggest calling in your order because they are very busy. Also if you want soup call early it goes fast. Daras is a staple in my diet. read more

Very good subs here, my favorite is the New York sub, grilled chicken roasted red peppers, fresh mozzarella with balsamic glaze..I'm hungry just thinking about it.. read more

One of the best sub shops in NJ. Huge selection of subs, over 50. Cold cuts are great and their hot food is awesome. I have been going to this place since I was a teenager. I am now in my 30s, the quality hasn't changed a bit. I will always get my subs here. read more

I have been eating at this deli since the were called Kampy's Korney way back in 1984, and the food and staff are Great! Nobody puts more meat into a sandwitch than they do! I have not ate a meal that I wasn't satisfied with in all these years! My kids love it too!! read more

I had a bridal shower and ordered the sandwich assortment (B). Everything was absolutely delicious. I ordered for 25 people. There was more than enough food, and assortment of sandwiches, salads, chips and soda was great. I was asked multiple times where the food was catered from because it was so tasty. My favorite part Greek pasta salad was a hit! Delivery was on time and set up was done nicely as well. Bonus very reasonably priced! Would recommend to anyone!!! read more

I put in a last minute, big group order. It was ready on time, was correct, looked beautiful and was delicious. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. They gave a variety dressings for those who ordered salads. I will definitely use them again! read more

Food is terrible, place is dirty and the owner is rude. I would not come here again.

I was ordering from here for a long time. The food is very good, however, from time to time, the people that answer the phone are rude and short tempered. They will take your money when you submit a huge order on a weekly basis but when it is smaller, they will not deliver. Go figure. read more

This place is one of the places I neeeed to go to when I come home for a visit. Best sub shop on the planet if you ask me. The meatball parm sub with homemade meatballs and extra sauce is to die for. They don't have it everyday but you can call and ask. Even if that's not available pretty much anything on the menu is going to be fantastic. The daily specials and Italian specialties like baked ziti are amazing. The subs are made on delicious bread however you like it. The atmosphere is old school jersey style. Don't expect them to be nice until they find out so and so is your second cousin. Then you are family. Always expect a parade of firefighters, cops and emts to be ahead of you in line. Enjoy a true a taste of NJ. read more

This place is really good, I mean you just don't understand how good. Go for the Hot Pastrami or Roast Beef. Don't do the gravy on the Roast Beef. read more

Best place for lunch in Elizabeth , great sandwiches and daily lunch dinners that are different and more delicious every week. Great service too. read more

Absolutely the best subs I ever had have been to many places but none compare to Daras also have great home made soup

Great hot n cold subs, good place for a quick lunch. Good place to cater a business, family event.

This place needs a class on customer service. Was a big fan of Dara's until I went in there do pick up an order that was close to $100.00 dollars and I requested a salad without chicpeas. The guy in the back making the salads who I believe is the owner yelled out to the girl at the register. "Tell the guy who ordered the salad that if he can't order it as it is on the menu don't order it" Nice way to treat a customer. read more
