    College town joint with not much of an atmosphere. They make really good sandwiches and some are creative. They also offer a combo with a drink, half a sandwich, and a soup for a reasonable price. Everything is made to order and it can be slow but worth it nonetheless.

    Oh, Fritz. I had some delicious sandwiches from here catered for a bah mitzvah so I was excited to see it was nearby at the time and decided to stop in for a bite. Ordered the fried eggplant since I liked it so much at the event and a side Caesar salad. The eggplant was as good as remembered but halfway through the Caesar I saw what looked like a piece of cut up Brillo or sponge. I brought it to one of the cashier's attention and she just offered up another one that she pulled from the fridge. It was odd not to just take it off the bill. Of course, I couldn't enjoy the new one given that the previous one had a piece of sponge and opted to just not return.

    I ordered the drunken parm chicken sandwich.... I didn't taste the vodka sauce they say they put on it BUT, it was delicious! The bread was perfect! It was soft & yummy! & it was garlic bread! The chicken was cooked perfectly, not too breaded & perfectly cooked. I ordered it on door dash & the fries were still warm!!!!!!!!! (& DELICIOUS) The chicken sandwich was warm as well. I am SO happy with my first experience eating at this establishment & I recommend them ! I'm excited to try their tea & the eggplant parm!!!!!! I'll be back!

    We ordered from the special New Brunswick restaurant weeks menu: one appetizer, two sandwiches, two drinks, and one dessert bar for $35. The restaurant isn't fancy; it's basically a sandwich shop. You order at the counter, they bring you the food, and you clean up your table once you're done! We had zucchini trio with pesto sauce, grilled cheese, bbq pulled pork sandwich, lemonade, a bottle of water, and a magic bar for $36.50 before tips. The pulled pork sandwich was great but messy as Cole slaw was service on top of the pork. It's like eating sloppy Joe. But it was very delicious. We couldn't finish all the food; took the magic bar home for later.

    -Really great food for good prices in a comfy, straightforward space. I tried about 5 items and each one was really good. -Would definitely come back next time I'm in the area. -The general Tso's chicken sandwich, basil and tomato chicken parm sandwich, pulled pork nachos, French fries, and Mac and cheese were all really good. Nothing especially mind blowing in terms of flavor, but everything was exceptionally well made and good portions. For example, the chicken on the sandwiches was fried perfectly.

    Loved this place! It's got a charm to it. We felt like we found a treasure in the mist of New Brunswick. Staff is very hospitable and friendly. They were happy at the end of the day. The display counters were full with yummy looking bakery goods. The board behind the counter described specials for the day. They having inside seating which is very nice. It s not a big place but it has a big heart. It's like a comfortable place that makes time stand still. I would definitely go back for breakfast then for tea then for coffee . I will work on being a regular!!

    Really delicious food! Loved both the sandwiches and it is a really great breakfast place! Coffee was also good and service is fast! A very cute sit down that feels intimate! Outdoors seating available when the weather is nicer but they also have a very cute takeout window. Small though so can get packed!

    "Honey-Vanilla" Greek Yogurt & Granola Parfait

    Met a friend here for breakfast. It was just alright. Not great. I was excited to try a homemade pop tart but they were out. Living on the west coast for 10 years now, I was eager to have pork roll, egg, and cheese and this one was fine but not great, particularly because the bread didn't taste fresh. The "honey vanilla" yogurt tasted plain. There is no table service, you order at a counter and go pick it up. The ambiance is cute, like an old house.

    summary: Absolutely love fritz's food BUT (and its a big butt) the service can be a bit dodgy and some things on the menu are lacking... I wish I could give this place 3.75 stars because its not quite 4 stars but not quite 3.... So I have come here a million times because it is really close to my house and the space is super cute. I will say that I have always had a good, fresh meal every time I eat here. The fries are soo fresh, tasty, and not over fried. Also, I always get the mix & match where you can choose a style sandwich and your protein. This time I got the Buffalo style and I wanted the crispy portabello as the protein but they did not have any. They were nice to offer me alternatives like a fried eggplant but I just got the crispy chicken instead (im not vegetarian i just like mushrooms). Anyways my sandwich was amazing, the pictures dont do it justice because it was a bit messy but the chicken is soo good, juicy, and crunchy. The sauce is perfectly spicy but not too hot and the bread is toasted beautifully. However, my friend who came with me had a rather different experience food wise. He ordered the General Tso crispy chicken sandwich which is literally just a piece of fried chicken with general tso sauce/marinade and green onions. It was kinda surprising because my sandwich was so full of toppings that this one would be so mundane. He also wished that there was more sauce on the sandwich, maybe some lettuce, or something to add a bit more flair to the rather dry sandwich. This is an issue ive noticed consistently with the items on the menu that arent the mix & match sandwiches which confuses me because the mix and match is always so perfect! Also, the person taking our order was very nice but took a very long time to get our order placed for some reason (maybe he was new to cashiering?) and then it took a very long time for the food to actually come out to us. If you are not ordering ahead, this is probably not the place for a quick meal...

    If Fritz's was around when I went to RU, I'm confident it would have been a staple. Not only was the food great, but I loved that they had indoor and outdoor seating. I was in the are killing time before an event close by and wanted a place I could get some food and do some work. Usually I'll just look for a cafe but Fritz's was the perfect find! I got the Turkey Avocado BLT, a bottle of water and sat outside since it was an expectedly beautiful day. The sandwich was fantastic! Sliced roasted turkey, avocado, bacon, tomato, lettuce and all on some toasted white bread. It was perfect and filled me up. I placed my order inside, was able to grab my seat outside and they brought my food out when it was all ready. I really love their outdoor seating, by the way. They have some tables and then a few stools set up along their railing. Perfect if you plan to eat and pull out your laptop at the same time. I am so happy I found this spot! It was filled with students who had the same idea as me, getting some work done. Hoping I can stop in again soon so I can keep making my way through the really wonderful menu.

    Beef Blend Meatball Parm
    Daniel T.

    TLDR: Beef Blend Meatball Parm is filling and delicious in this cozy spot I ordered the Beef Blend Meatball Parm. On first bite of the slightly-too-big-for-mouth sandwich you get a lot of bread. Amazing. The warm roll is perfectly garlicky and buttery. It's complex yet mild flavors pair well with the meaty, cheesy filling inside. The classic meatball, provolone, tomato sauce combo was a great balance of salty, sweet, and tart. I sat outside on the porch, which was a cute little spot. It was slightly chilly that day, but the sandwich warmed me up. Looking forward to more meatball parms down the road!

    Classic Reuben and General Tso's Crispy Chicken Sandwich
    Adam O.

    Excited to try more food from here. I would I say my sandwich was only really a 4-4.5 but my wife's was like a 6 so that balances out right. Get the Reuben. Like don't ask questions just try that first. And you're welcome. It was really, really good. The corned beef, the marble rye, the sauce, the sour kraut, and especially the cheese we're all excellent. Oh and so was the salted caramel blondie. The fries and sweet potato fries were good and they give you way too many so really you could share an order with someone. I wanted the General Tso's crispy chicken to be great but it was just ok to good. The bread was good. The chicken was good although it was tough in a few spots. The sauce was tasty but there was no depth to the flavor at all. It had a sweetness to it but not heat or flavor depth I'm used to when I have a General Tso's dish.

    I remember first going here about 14 years ago and was very impressed then. At a recent dance event…read more(Liberty Swing) it was clear that it was still THE PLACE to go, especially with a large group of foodies. Bottom line: no matter what you order it will be excellent. Even with a dozen people on Saturday night, we managed to get seated. With the wide variety of menu choices, everyone was able to get exactly what they wanted. One very interesting dish I hadn't thought of was the chicken pot pie, which sounds very pedestrian, but wait until you see it. Amazing. I ordered the Ahi Tuna salad and it tasted every bit as good as it's picture-perfect looks. Superb service, plus literally everything that came to the table looked like a magazine picture. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Over time, I've noticed a clear decline in quality at the New Brunswick location. In contrast, the Hillsborough location has remained relatively consistent, which makes the difference even more noticeable. To be fair, I'm willing to give a pass on the slower service during this visit since we were seated outside and it seemed like they may not have been fully staffed for that area. That said, the bigger issue was the food. We ordered ravioli and chicken parm with pasta. The ravioli sauce was extremely watery, to the point where it resembled soup rather than a proper sauce. The chicken parm was overcooked, as was the pasta. It's disappointing to say, but based on this experience and the overall downward trend, I don't see myself returning to this location anytime soon.

A short walk later, I found myself at Destination Dogs, a place I had seen in photographs that suggested capaciousness. In reality, it is smaller.  This is not a complaint, just an observation.  I remember once hearing something about the contents of small packages. At 12:30 the place was full. Packed with humanity and appetite. I was seated quickly, as if someone had anticipated my hunger in advance. From the bar came the sound of construction crews discussing their midday rituals. Apparently this is where they come on Fridays, to repair themselves while they repair the city. It explained everything. Service was swift and attentive, a minor miracle given the crowd. I began with a Scotch egg, an item that seemed to have wandered in from another story entirely. I ordered it for that reason. I had always imagined my first Scotch egg would be eaten in an English pub under low ceilings and older regrets. Instead, here it was. Perfectly crisp, warm, and generous. The universe does not ask for permission. Then came the main event. The menu is an atlas of hot dogs. Domestic. International. Proteins in tube form arranged like possibilities. There is even an invitation to build your own, which I accepted. I attempted to recreate a favorite from Crif Dogs, a thing called the Spicy Redneck. Bacon wrapped dog. Pickled jalapenos. Coleslaw. Simple in theory. Destination Dogs improved upon it in every way that matters. The bacon crisped with purpose. The jalapenos spoke clearly. The coleslaw behaved. The hot dog itself seemed proud to be there. All of this, plus a 16 ounce beer, cost me about twenty five dollars with tip. A small price for order in a chaotic universe. Five stars. Not because perfection exists, but because this comes close enough to make the argument.

I ordered the Andouille Armstrong and it was my fav, great snap on the dog and all the flavors complimented each other great, I also had the Si Si Guey, wasn't my favorite but wasn't horrible, I wasn't a fan of the chorizo, I felt the toppings made this hot dog. As for ambiance, it's a bar, has TV, liquor, beer, etc., but clean. If I was local I'd be a regular!

Dinner was also very good. Just about everyone ordered something different, and we left pretty happy. The only issue was the music. I don't know if this is the case for the entire restaurant, but the downstairs had bouncy ukulele covers for the entirety of our time there. It was also a bit too loud. I felt like I had to get up to hear someone sitting a few people away from me, or speak too loud to for shared space because there's a bouncy ukulele covers of Without You by The Kid LAROI. (No, that's not an embellishment. That actually played.) All in all, we had a great time, great food, in a beautiful space. Natalie was a very attentive service. But please, maybe some different music?
