Based on positive Yelp reviews, we stopped here after a morning at Gateway National recreation area…read moreto pick up sandwiches to take on our flight out of EWR. The boards listing all their unique sandwiches (plus salads, meatballs, etc) was almost overwhelming and I wished I could choose several. They offer hot and cold with every possible ingredient and combo or create your own. They offer mini heroes every day for $5. They're plenty big! The full heroes are HUGE. A roll is big. Even regular sandwich bread is a large sandwich. They also carry all sorts of treats and Italian staples and gourmet items. Best of all, every single employee was SO nice and cheerful, and they worked so quickly, even as the small location filled up with locals and regulars. We felt so lucky to have found it. As one of us went through TSA with their sandwich, the agents said "what smells so good?" And teased they would have to confiscate it. (They did not and I had the best food on the plane!)

Was really looking forward to trying their famous shrimp parm and roast beef sandwich, but was…read moreunfortunately quite disappointed and underwhelmed. The shrimp parm was quite flavorless and nothing special at all, which is definitely not worth the $10+ for the roll. The roast beef was just okay, with the highlight being the generous thick slice of cheese; the hero would've been even more delicious if they were a bit more generous with the onions. The gravy was a tad bit too sweet, which can be easily fixed by just increasing its saltiness. Overall, spent around 28 bucks for two mediocre sandwiches, which was unfortunate for it had so much potential. The ambiance is just meh, with the dining area appearing a bit unclean and not really that welcoming. Service was okay as well. Thanks for reading and good luck! (:

Would I recommend it? Yes. Is it worth seeing once? Also yes. It has that big, theatrical, old-school deli energy where the portions are part of the show. That said, I'm not in the camp that every good restaurant is automatically a five-star spot. When everything is a five, it gets harder to separate the truly elite places, the hometown heroes, and the restaurants worth planning a trip around. Harold's lands for me as a very solid three-point-something, graciously rounded to four because they have a Marine Corps flag hung in reception. The food was good, the portions were whatever you make it, and the whole place has novelty value without feeling like a total gimmick. The sandwiches are large enough to satisfy a hungry, medium-sized guy without completely defeating him. And honestly, on a menu full of meat, my favorite thing may have been the healthy pickled salad/pickle bar situation -- bright, crunchy, and a great counterbalance to the heavier deli classics. My biggest knock was the service atmosphere. There seemed to be an army of staff, but not much interaction beyond their phones. Maybe I caught it at an off time, and maybe the place comes alive when it's packed, but that kept the experience from feeling warmer or more special. Overall: fun stop, good food, convenient location, and worth doing if you're passing through. Memorable four.
