Forest Dairy has been a go to deli for me since I was a kid. The sandwiches are fair priced and huge. They do put on a LOT of meat so if that is not your thing this may not be your place! The service is always fast and they are super efficient. Don't forget this place also serves as a mini mart / convenience store and so they have alcohol, basic foods like frozen meals and rice. This place is super tiny but they've got a lot going on inside!! Always can count on them for a filling lunch. read more

This place holds up for years and years. Long established location, could seem a little pricey but if you look at what you get for it, you get your money's worth, especially these days. If you are in the area and looking for a straight up American deli, this is definitely a good choice. read more

Great job with sandwiches. I've Been going here for 40 years! They have everything you need

Joe It's great place to buy lunch and big up a snack at night, The service was great they greet you and are fast with the food. read more

My husband and I came here to get sandwiches for lunch. He ordered a cheese steak with a side of onion rings. The sandwich is $9.99 and onion rings $4.99. The order of onion rings consisted of six. For $9.99 he got a cheese steak flavored Italian roll. There was so little steak on the bread. Never again will I come to this place. I got a ham & Swiss on Rye and it was good but we were ripped off on my husband's order. I did say something about the lack of onion rings for the price and the guy behind the counter just walked away. read more

Every time I go I always get the same sandwich. Now there is two women that makes sandwiches. The woman with the white hair always gets my sandwich right the woman with the black hair constantly does my sandwich the wrong way. The woman with the white hair was not there today so I was stuck with the woman with the black hair. What I don't like is that I always get the end of the bread and it's always faced opposite and then cut I'm just getting the feeling that I am not welcomed to be there. C'est La Vie I will not be going back! Very disappointed smh read more

Johana is amazingly good . Always welcoming and pleasant. My order is always perfect.

My boyfriend and I walk here at least 5-6 times a week to pick up last minute ingredients, sandwiches, wine. You name it, we've bought it. It's really super convenient, they have a little bit of everything in the grocery section - all your dairy and baking needs included. Then their deli is just fantastic. Fresh rolls, premium meats, friendly staff. We've gotten sandwiches here before and always talk about getting them again. They're so so so good. A perfect Jersey sub, they pile all the fresh ingredients high. They also have an impressive selection of candy and treats. It's my go-to spot in a pinch and the staff is always nice and friendly. Parking is plenty and easy too. read more

Order was ready for pickup when we got there. Food order wasn't completed accurately. Breakfast sandwiches were lean on content. Convince over quality was the end result. read more

Cute little store with a deli. Came here for lunch yesterday and ordered a turkey and Swiss with lettuce, tomato, banana peppers, salt & oregano with oil & vinegar and mayo and it was so delicious! I don't like a lot of meats on my hero's so I got the kids size and it was just the right amount. Believe me, if you don't like a stack of turkey on your hero get a kids version. Tasted fresh and perfect just how I like it. I prefer on getting it on a roll. They have a good selection of chips and non alcoholic drinks along with alcoholic drinks... definitely recommend coming here and trying it out! Bring a bag lol! They also do have parking. read more

I havebt tried much but this is for a breakfast sandwich. I got Taylor ham in a toasted bagel. I should of been going here all along! Look at the amount of meat they give you! read more

I worked here in the deli when I was a teenager many moons ago and we always made the best sandwiches. I went back again to visit family and they still make the best sandwiches! read more

Stopped in here for the first time today, boy was that a mistake waiting so long to do that since moving here 5 years ago. I ordered an Italian sub with everything on it, figured that's a good place to start when trying a new place for sandwiches. Damn was this thing stacked! Big portions of beautifully thin sliced meats, great quality and fresh as hell at that. Shredded lettuce (the best), tomato and onion added a nice crispness and bite to the sandwich. The bread was also great, soft and a little chewy but firm and supportive. Big beautiful sandwich and a 24oz of PBR for $8.54 out the door. Can't beat that at all. read more

Store is convenient. The deli is good. They have a new automated deli machine to order. During the week, two women are usually behind the deli counter. One woman is excellent and the other just rushes and it's like you got a sandwich from another place. Purchased a ham sandwich with mayo, the ham was sliced unbelievably thick. It only took her a couple of minutes to make the sandwich and that was why. There was so much mayonnaise that it was hard to keep the cold cuts in the bread. Half was wasted. It shouldn't be the luck of the draw as to who you get making the sandwich. I am positive when they read this review they will know which woman is which. I almost took the sandwich back. - it was that poorly made. They have quite a brisk lunch business. The automated deli machine makes it more difficult to wait for the person you want to make the sandwich or to give additional instructions. The employee that doesn't make good sandwiches is wasting the store's money as well as the customer's money. read more

Hands down the BEST sandwiches within all surrounding towns. E.Rutherford, Carlstadt, Woodridge, N.Arlington, Lyndhurst..! Forest Dairy is a long time business and a hidden gem among some of the over priced more elaborate eateries on Park Ave. Great quality REAL bread and the cold cuts are always ice cold so fresh and the sandwiches are layered perfectly into a mile high portion! Home style good stuff!! Hungry yet!? Order ahead avoid a wait. Like mom would make! read more

This place is interesting. Its a convenience store/deli/ liquor store. They have a little bit of everything which I think is great. I ordered a turkey/roast beef/cheese/red peppers on a roll. They are not stingy with the meat which is the best part. The bread is not the freshest which is why i'm taking off a star. I will def come back here to pick up a sandwich when needed. FYI- about $7 for the sandwich . read more

Great, local deli/liquor store/convenience store all in one. As far as the deli goes, they sure know how to stack a sandwich. For about $6 you get a sandwich with any toppings you want, literally filled with meat. They do not skimp on the meat here. I love that the lettuce on the sandwiches is shredded lettuce and all of the cold cuts are always fresh and refrigerated! On weekdays they have specials and sandwiches come with a bag of chips or a side. They have fresh coffee all day and a cappuccino machine with three flavors of cappuccino/hot chocolate. The staff is always super friendly and very quick. Even when there's a line you don't wait very long at all. read more

Great sandwich! Ordered a turkey and a spicy Italian. Fresh, fresh ingredients. Yum! Will return! read more

The prices are high and you pay extra for toasted sandwiches that's not toasted. If you ask for salt they put way to much. Paid for hot pastrami got cold pastrami. read more

This looks like any other deli but what separates them is their quality of everything at the deli counter!! Cold cuts are always super fresh and typically one sandwich/wrap is so packed with meat you can only eat half! I absolutely love their tuna with celery and onions. If I see a long line and I'm in a rush, I grab one of their pre-made salads which are always really fresh and huge (especially their cold cut salad- so filling!) and there's always a great variety. If I'm not super hungry I'll grab a small container of their egg or chicken salad. It is a very convenient deli to have around here where you know you'll get simple but amazing quality deli food! read more

It's a great little store right off the town's main boulevard. Nothing about that sets it apart from dozens of other mini marts. It's the delicious deli that makes Forest Dairy a worthwhile stop. The quality of the cold cuts is excellent, the service is quick and consistent, and the sandwiches are always hearty. Combined with a low price makes this a perfect lunch stop. read more

Crazy meat portions on the Italian sub I got...almost too much (I know, that's a petty complaint). The place doesn't look very clean, the slice was a mess and they weren't busy at 2pm on a Saturday. There were meat scraps everywhere. It was a far better sandwich that I would've gotten at a Subway or Blimpie...if I'm working in the area again I'll definitely stop in for lunch. read more

Forest Dairy Sandwiches are the best in Rutherford. Hands down! Stacked with meats and cheese, toppings galore and will beat any rival sandwich shop in size and freshness. Employees and Deli staff are always friendly and fast. A little Tip is to go early in the day and you can also call and order your sandwiches for pickup. They are usually ready within 15 minutes and you avoid the deli lines during the rush! read more

They have club sandwiches on the menu. I ordered a turkey club and they charged me extra for bacon. I have never had a club sandwich which charged extra for bacon. Watch out for your orders. Very suspicious here. read more

I pickup lunch here frequently and they never disappoint. I get a great sandwich at a reasonable price. They also have sandwich specials daily, hot sandwiches, soup, etc., and the wait is never long. A great little deli with a parking lot in front which is great to have in Rutherford. read more

Little more pricey than your supermarket, but it's good to support local small businesses.

Fresh, chunky, delicious deli sandwiches. Despite how crowded it gets around lunch time, the line moves quickly and the staff is very nice.

Won't let paying customers use their bathroom. I'm sure the employees don't walk across the street when they have to go. Ridiculous

If you like a thick sandwich this place is for you. I go here every few weeks and get the roast beef. Hands down the best deli sandwiches in the area. The price isn't bad either considering they definitely don't skimp. read more

Working at Rutherford High School you quickly become acquainted with the best eating places in town ... Best take out sandwiches would be Forest Dairy ...call ahead and they always will have your order waiting for you. My favorite is a Sloppy Jeff roast beef, turkey, pepper jack cheese on rye with Russian dressing and coleslaw....heaping portions ...this place is always great! read more

very bad attitude, bad experience. even though we almost buy things from there, the owner's attitude looks like I owe his money

I purchased one roll of paper towels from Forrest dairy for. $2.28 on Saturday Nov 26 2011. I paid an additional .16 cents sales tax I know .16 cents is not much money, but consider over a year period all the customers being charged sales tax Om paper products which new jersey taxation states stores cannot charge sales tax on paper products. I Am sure the owner or owners are aware of this law but choose to ignore it as long as the customers say nothing. Convenience stores charge extra as it is because of being open most of the time I understand that but this is blatant theft. Ps. I don't know about anyone else but I feel I pay enough taxes in rutherford they should at the very least see that the residents aren't being ripped off. I checked the two other stores. Mini mart. And krausers same thing they are getting away with charging sales tax on paper products. It's being greedy read more

Fantastic local deli. Sandwiches are always stacked and tasty. Great hot and cold! The staff are always friendly and work fast with the lunch crowd. They offers a lot of items including liquor/convenience items and coffee. A gem in the neighborhood! read more

Just ordered 5 sandwiches for lunch. When I arrived, there were 3 people at the counter yet it took 5 minutes for them to acknowledge me. I asked for 2 Italian, 1 turkey/mozz, 1 ham and a mozz sandwich. The person asked if I wanted munster cheese 3 times, I explained I wanted fresh mozz. Upon arrival back at work, I opened the bags of sandwiches and 2 were wrong. The turkey sandwich didn't have mozz and was loaded with mayo-something I didn't ask for. We also didn't receive a ham sandwich at all. I have never ordered from them and never will. That's what I get ordering sandwiches from a liquor store. When I called to tell them about the screwed up order, the person who answered the phone simply said ok. Thanks but no thanks read more
