Beyond the food, it's family-owned, and the family happens to be some of the kindest people you'll find. It's a rare day where one of them doesn't stop by the table to ask how your day is going, or how the meal went. As for the meal itself, you'll be greeted by a heaping bucket of various pickles on the table. The menu is enormous, with all the typical hot and cold sandwiches you'd expect from a great deli. Finish off the meal with a tasty cookie or dessert - i love both the black and whites or the linzer tarts.

The moment I walked in, the team was friendly and welcoming. You can tell they know their regulars by name, and even as a new customer I felt taken care of. The place is clean, organized, and you can see they take pride in what they do. I ordered a sandwich and it was exactly what a deli sandwich should be fresh bread, generous portions, and ingredients that taste like they were prepped that day. They don't skimp on anything, and the flavors were spot on. Prices are also very fair for the quality you get, which is always a plus. Whether you're grabbing breakfast, lunch, or a quick bite on the go, G & S is the kind of dependable local spot you're happy to have in the neighborhood. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area.

I go here often enough and the customer service is amazing. They also have rewards and an app now…read moreso I recommend getting your points. Nice black-owned spot with variety of vegan options and it is clean. There's space to dine-in and they are open on Sundays. The energy is also open enough where strangers will have a convo while waiting. Coming from Brooklyn, I'm happy to have this spot so close to where I am now. Savory: My go-to is the chickpea tuna sandwich. I've tried it on a roll, long sub, and gluten-free... highly recommend the long sub. It's way too messy on the roll for me. Typically get it with the works. The potato salad is also very good most of the time (sometimes the potatoes are a little undercooked). I've also had the macaroni salad and the fried mushroom sandwich which are also good. I definitely enjoyed the thanksgiving special with stuffing (highly recommend that if they bring it back this year). Tip: if ordering a hero and you don't see yourself eating the entire thing in one sitting, I recommend requesting for the sandwich to not be cut so you can cut it evenly on your own For baked goods: the peach cobbler is good and it comes in a cute cup with a little spoon. I've also had the lemon cake & rum cake. Would order all 3 again. Would love to see donuts or cinnamon rolls (hopefully without cashews or walnuts due to my allergy). DRINKS: I haven't had a drink there that I would get again. The teas are overwhelmingly sweet; hibiscus punch was a lot like kool-aid to me. I also don't recommend the matcha if you are a matcha snob. Harper's Cafe is a great black-owned spot for a consistently good latte and they use quality matcha if you want quality nearby. Great spot with lots of options, especially if you're looking for a black-owned spot to support.

How Delish in West Orange is one of my favorite fully vegan spots, hands down. Their deli…read moresandwiches are my go-to. Fresh, flavorful, and so satisfying!! It's the perfect lunch, and honestly the perfect beach day meal too. There's just something about a giant, delicious vegan sub that hits every time. A while back they hosted a soul food night with oyster mushrooms, mac and cheese, greens, the whole lineup, and it was amazing. But those deli subs are still the thing I keep coming back for. They're huge, filling, and just taste like someone really cared while putting them together. There's seating inside and a wall where you can write your name, which I think is such a cute touch. Makes the place feel personal and loved. I also tried their carrot cake at VegFest recently and it was delicious and moist. They had a pretty steady line of people the entire time, so clearly the vegan crowd knows what's up. The subs run around $20 and everything is made fresh to order, so expect to wait a bit. It's worth it. I'm definitely looking forward to going back soon!!

I must say parking sucks- there is a lot right next to, but there was a dark skinned man sitting in the lot basically patrolling. He told me I can't park there after I said I was running into deli to quickly pick up.. I found this a major turnoff. I'm 9 months pregnant might I add and the deli is basically on a narrow steep road with minimal spots. Not ideal. I also wouldn't consider the Area extremely safe so I didn't want to park too far away. I ended up just parking illegally and running in. I ordered (a whole) Favorite Joe, fries and macaroni salad. Everything tasted fresh once I got home and was good! I wouldn't say it's better or worse than Millburn deli - I can appreciate both places having a quality sloppy Joe!! If you're in the area, I would recommend you stop in!!

Previous time I decided to splurge, someone named Yenni made me an absolutely wonderful sandwich and did so with good positive energy, just great professional customer service. She made me want to come back despite the price, because she made it worthwhile in her service and the quality of sandwich. So I went again today, but Yenni wasn't there. This time I asked the woman making my sandwich if she could put a little extra banana pepper because the ordering kiosk didn't offer that option, and she said, "Did you pay for more???", then when handing me my uncustomized sandwich, she asked to see my receipt when clearly it was my sandwich to begin with. Then later on I found out she put potatoes on my sandwich, which was supposed to be an Italian cheesesteak. Who puts potatoes on an Italian cheesesteak??? So let's review: overpriced and limited customization within what they do have, bad service aside from Yenny, and the food is so-so. I can even put up with so-so food if that's what's in the immediate area, I can put up with paying a few extra bucks if that's all that's in the area, but if you can bind those two and add on poor and unfriendly service, then no thank you. MAYBE if I could get Yenny every time, but I likely won't walk back in there to begin with anyway. So congratulations, you were stingy on not giving me a little more of a topping, and now you've lost a customer in the area who might've otherwise convinced others at my school to use you guys, but hey, you've still got those few extra banana peppers to hang on to.

I ordered an italian chicken cutlet sandwich (chopped), fries comes on it of course, along with mayo, ketchup, pepper (hold the salt), and grilled onions (hold the peppers). I usually go with a half portion is more than enough; a whole could easily feed two or more people. I am glad to see that that hasn't changed, despite the prices going up and the 3% surcharge if you do not pay in cash. Pro tip: if you can, pay in cash!!! My sandwich was delicious! Better than the last time. It was made precisely to my liking, just the way I ordered it. The service over the phone was friendly and in the store for pick up it was efficient and swift. I was in and out, thankfully, because it was crowded. If ever the craving strikes again, I'll be back!

I ordered the #4 Half Italian Sub (pictured), and my fiancé got the Unlimited Cheeseburger Sandwich (not pictured), which was HUGE. Both sandwiches were incredibly fresh and packed with flavor. The experience was even better because of the staff. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted so warmly. They could tell it was our first visit, recommended their favorite sandwiches, and shared a little about the shop's history and how long they've been in business. Between the genuinely friendly service and the delicious food, they've already earned two repeat customers. This place is officially a new staple for us, and we can't wait to come back!

Well... I'm VERY glad I did! I ordered the quarter beef pastrami with coleslaw, house sauce, and spicy mustard, and BABYYYY... that sandwich was GOOD! The pastrami was tender, flavorful, and NOT overly salty. The coleslaw was tasty, the bread was soft, and the house sauce with the spicy mustard? That combination was everything! My only regret is that I ordered a quarter because I absolutely should've gotten a half or honestly, a FULL sandwich! I was sitting there wishing I had more. For my first time trying Big Rocs Deli, they definitely made an impression. I will 100% be back to try more, and I'm already thinking about what I'm ordering next!
