    outside of restaurant

    The hype is true. This tiny place on Bloomfield Avenue serves an absolutely delicious chicken cutlet sub. I ordered two. They were larger than I expected. My husband and I ended up sharing one for lunch and the other for dinner. I took Yelp advice to call in order. They need about 20 minutes to prepare your sub because they cook the cutlet fresh. And that makes the taste difference. I have been wanting to try but was even more motivated when I saw the owner couple in The New York Times as supporters of Andrew Yang. Perhaps he did drop from the presidential race but I love when hard-working people take a political stance. That makes democracy work. Politics aside, these people know how to make a chicken sandwich. I didn't know what toppers to get as they have 20 plus options. Went with mozzarella, lettuce, tomato, Italian dressing. Delicious. We are eager to return!

    Chicken salad sandwich
    Stefanie C.

    Great place all around! They are currently only doing carside service meaning you have to place your order on their website ahead and wait in your car for them to bring it out. Sandwiches are reasonably priced and loaded with chicken! Personal favorites include the Chicken "Salad" sandwich and the Italian Christmas. Don't let the name of the chicken salad sandwich fool you- this isn't your typical chicken salad. It's essentially chunks of chicken with lettuce, sauce and red onions. As someone who hates traditional chicken salad, I can tell you that this sandwich is anything but usual. The Italian Christmas is garlicy goodness - chicken cutlet or grilled with broccoli rabe, mozzarella and roasted red peppers, oooh and lots of garlic! Definitely a small business you want to support

    New lunch stop!

    I stopped in at Dave's today for a delicious sandwich! It was my first time here and I decided to try the Dolce Eggplant. The eggplant was cooked perfectly with mozzarella and red peppers (I skipped the onions). I was going to get it to go, but while the place is very small, it's a nice set up with tables and I decided to stay. The owners are very pleasant and the prices reasonable, especially since the quality of the food is high. I'll definitely stop back to try some of the chicken specials! Give Dave's a try!

    Dave's Standard Chicken Sandwich.  Need I say more??
    Marisol L.

    Today, I ordered the Dave's Standard chicken cutlet sandwich!!! I usually just eat half of a sandwich, but this sandwich was so good, I HAD TO EAT THE WHOLE THING!!!! I read a review on how good this sandwich is but it was so much better than I could have imagined! I had recently ordered Kim's sandwich, on her recommendation, and that was a winner also!!! Kuddos Dave & Kim! I had a delicious lunch thanks to Dave and Kim!!

    Before we arrived we were between a 4.5 in Fairfield and Dave's that had 55 reviews and a 5 star rating. Make this 56. The Giant Brian was off the chain. Not because i was hungry either. Well done! We will be back!!

    Nicco classic original chicken salad sandwich. Absolutely excellent.
    Dave F.

    It's not often I roll out 5 stars for a sandwich, but man was this satisfying on all levels. The Nicco original chicken salad sandwich is the (messy) way to go. First off, the portion is ridiculous. It's literally overflowing out of the already large hero, and will continue to do so with every bite. I know, first world problems. Wah wah my sandwich is too full. Anyways, the sandwich itself is diced up chunks of their chicken cutlet in their "awesome sauce" along with lettuce, onions, mayo, and vinegar. The end result here essentially tastes like your classic Italian hero but with crispy fried chicken on a soft Italian hero. I loved everything about this. Some advice... extra napkins, a plate, and a fork to eat what will inevitably fall out. This place is awesome, and the Nicco classic chicken salad sandwich is just straight up deliciousness.

    This place gets really busy at lunch and it seems it's just a husband and wife running the place. They need to hire some help and not discourage people to leave by saying it's a 30-40 minute wait. Got the Dave's Standard. Great bread. The ham Swiss & peppers go well together. Nice crunchy lettuce. I'm not a fan of Dirty brand chips. I wanna go back and try the soups and a different sandwich. Support local businesses.

    Chicken Parmigiana & Garlic Pasta Fagioli soup
    Adeline C.

    Tried the Chicken Parm and Garlic Pasta Fagioli soup. The breaded chicken cutlet is amazing. I would definitely try any sandwich that has the chicken in it. The chicken parm would've been perfect if it had more marinara sauce. The soup was good too. I definitely would come back to try other stuff on the menu, like the chicken salad. The service was good, despite only having two people working at the time. It took a while for my order to be ready (about 15-20 min) and I ordered in. To be fair, it was during lunch time and they had multiple phone orders. But I could see how beneficial it'd be if they had additional employees working. They also provide limited parking in the back of the building so I didn't have to look for street parking. Overall, I would definitely come back. But maybe instead of ordering in during lunch time, I would call to order.

    Welcome!

    Whoa. Okay. I haven't ordered here since 3 years ago. Last time wasn't so pleasant. I heard it's…read moreunder new ownership and it definitely shows. I love how you could order online, that's a plus. The lady that called me to verify sounded really nice. The food is so good. Very flavorful. I ordered the half chicken and half pork rib combo with rice and black beans and it was amazing. Hit the spot for sure. The pork rib is meaty and big. Very juicy. The garlic shrimp is actual sauce not just a bunch of shrimp swimming around in oil and minced garlic. Its a buttery sauce. I recommend buying a loaf a bread for dipping. The serving size is enough for a family of 3 and left overs for the next day for sure. Definitely adding to my list of local dinner eats. Thank you for your hospitality.

    Ordered some nice meat for delivery, so I can really only comment on the food here. Okay, and the…read moredelivery. Super quick. When I ordered, it said 45-60 minutes for the food to be prepared (as a standard message), and then told me delivery would take 45-60 minutes. Does that mean I'm waiting 90+ minutes for food? Nope, it came to the door in 40 minutes tops. Great job. As for the food: We've got the meats! I can say that most of the meat was a bit overdone, but it was made fresh and then delivered, so that will keep the meat cooking and I fully acknowledge that. The sausage was excellent. The wings were skimpy and not really worth it. The chicken and steak were both flat and thus both faster to cook. Meat overall was a bit chewy and tough, but again, that's upon delivery. I really liked the flavor, and they did include a nice spicy hot sauce at my request. Verdict: Will need to go back in person to try this out!

Delivery would be 45-60 minutes, so I set my timer for 30 so I'd be ready to put the light on in the vestibule for the driver to see. Before I knew it, I got a call that the delivery driver, Joshua, was at the door! It wasn't even 30 minutes! He must have cooked my food on the way over! Joshua was very pleasant and the food was very hot! I ordered a large half sausage pizza with a side of fried mushrooms, which were both delicious. The pie had a nice thick crust, which is how I like it. I never eat the bottom crust, but break off the thick crust and scoop up the toppings. It was perfect! The fried mushrooms were tender with a very crispy & tasty coating. They were a nice size and there were plenty of them...even had some left over. Everything from placing the order with a very sweet lady to my last bite was great! I definitely recommend trying this eatery. FYI: There is parking in the lot behind it (same as where Stephanie's Italian restaurant is, since there is no parking allowed in front on Bloomfield Ave.).

    I'm not sure why Cedar Grill & Pizza has 4.4 stars. The staff was friendly and we didn't wait that…read morelong for our food but nothing else about this place warrants that many stars. The pizza, the chicken Parm hero, and the chicken Caesar salad were all average at best. Frankly, not much different than Domino's or Pizza Hut. I can't say anything about Cedar Grill & Pizza was bad but considering there's a pizzeria every block or so in downtown Caldwell, I think you could do better elsewhere.
