I know five stars is a very high rating, but this place consistently delivers the goods. Excellent food tucked away in Hampton. Best garlic knots I have ever had anywhere. The sauce that the knots are prepared with should be sold separately as it is out of this world. We always save the excess sauce just to use for home cooking. I recommend checking this place out if you are ever nearby. read more

This was a great place to stop and get a quick bite to eat. The ladies in the kitchen were warm and sweet and they made sure to come by and say hello. My friend got a pizza and I got the burger. The pizza was really good--handmade sausage. The burger was pretty good. The fries were a bit plain, but still cooked well. Their selection of sodas and other drinks was excellent. It consisted of a few different coolers stocked full of different beverages. I don't go to Hampton very often, but I would assume that this has to be one of the better places in town. Overall, it was a really good experience. read more

This place is excellent. We ordered 3 pizzas for take out and they were all very very good. The one that Linda recommended was my favorite - so glad she did. Big thumbs up for the Grandma's pizza (her recommendation). And the chicken parm pizza and Margherita pizza were yummy too. We will be back! read more

Found this little gem while searching for a place to eat on our way to the shore. My mom and I stopped in for lunch on a Saturday and were so delighted with our meals. The staff was SO friendly, we even got to sample a piece of freshly fried eggplant that the chef was making at that moment! I indulged in comfort food of tomato soup and a grilled cheese, and my mom wound up having an eggplant panini. The menu was very enticing and the decor was adorable. Very much looking forward to my next trip there! read more

85% great is what keeps us coming back. The 15% that is over cooked or order not consistent is what prevents me from the 5 star. Consistency is key in the hospitality industry, no matter how good the 85% is, people remember the 15%. read more

A family favorite, Linda Curcio runs a small eclectic family style Italian restaurant. She serves good home cooked Italian dishes. Portions are large to fill the hungriest of visitors. The pizzas are wonderful. Homemade deserts are always fresh and tasty. Great for Sunday morning brunch, lunch stop or for a group dinner. Make reservations for dinner seating is limited and this is a locals favorite. read more

The best meatballs around, as well as Mussels! The broccoli rabe with sausage is never ending and so delicious! Honestly you can't go wrong with anything here! Highly recommend! read more

This place is AMAZING The only way to describe it is grandma's cooking if your grandma was a culinary graduate. My wife and I were driving around looking to find a new place to eat dinner at Saturday night after about an hour of me just driving aimlessly she picked my phone up and found Hampton Junction so we head there.When we got there it was packed but they were able to fit us in (if you plan on going for dinner you might want to make reservations) and I am glad they did because I had one of the best meals of my life so good in fact I couldn't wait to go back so my wife and I had lunch there today. They use all fresh ingredients I don't think any thing is not homemade the pasta, pasta sauce, dressings, bread, soups I am drooling as I write this lol. This place is defiantly a GEM you will not be disappointed. read more

As long as you have half of a day to sit and wait for your food, this is a great spot. Delicious food keeps us coming back. Order your entire meal as soon as server comes to the table. Don't make the mistake of letting the server leave the table because they won't come back. Expect to get up for anything you need. But again, delicious food. read more

This restaurant is a hidden treasure. The food is fresh, deliciously prepared with quality ingredients and by a Staff that loves to cook. Every thing I have had has been made fresh. They are warm, friendly and make you want to just stay and chat with them even after the meal is over. During the change of seasons, I especially enjoy the drive. I have also had a few catered meals and again, can't say enough great things. read more

Without a doubt the best place for breakfast, lunch, or dinner! Their breakfast is amazing. Get the home fry things! I could eat those for every meal. Their mommy sticks (homemade mozz sticks) are soooo good, their homemade breakfast sausage is phenomenal, their pizzas, sausage and peppers, sandwiches, even the homemade giant cinnamon rolls are out of this world. There is literally nothing bad here! read more

Awesome quality food done by people who know how to cook and are quality people who really care. I love this place and everything about it! If you want great food with a home kitchen vibe this is the place. If you want glitz and valet parking as your dining experience then this won't be your place. This place is about great food and great people in a clean well run business which is my preference. read more

Fine restaurant in the rural parts of New Jersey. Delicious food in large quantities!! Extremely delicious. The lobster ravioli was nicely creamed and cooked. Same with the tomato soup. read more

I popped in for lunch and ordered the flounder over spinach and beans. It was fabulous, broiled perfectly with the spinach and cannelloni beans in a delicious broth. There was plenty left to take home and no, I did not share my leftovers with anyone. The service was good and my only gripe is the extra 5% added to credit card charges. read more

Two of my college friends and I had a leisurely lunch today at Hampton Junction. The food was homemade, fresh, and delicious! I had a Stromboli with ricotta, mozzarella, and spinach. I have never tasted such tender pizza dough! Usually, you need a steak knife to cut the dough because it's so tough, but not at this place. The employees were attentive and friendly and explained that all their meals are made to order instead of frozen and reheated. Their menu is expansive, so there's something for everyone. Each of us traveled about an hour to get here because we live in various places in NJ and PA, but it was well worth the trip! Carol from PA read more

Absolutely delicious every time I come here. You can taste how fresh all of the ingredients are. The employees are all extremely nice and service is always quick. The inside is very cozy and clean. This is my favorite place to eat in the Hampton area. read more

Ate there on a Saturday night. Every table was filled. You MUST have reservations, no walk ins allowed. Everything is homemade, bread, noodles, desserts, etc. food is really good. Good menu selection BYO wine. Family run, good service. read more

This place is a wonderful find ! It has a great hometown feel and GREAT good !! The service was fast and the gals working there are super friendly. I can see myself becoming a regular ! Definitely stop by if you're headed up or down Rt 31 for a quick bite, or stay awhile. read more

the food is okay, it has gotten much more expensive. Plus some of the staff/owner are not nice and make the experience very uncomfortable.

Excellent food and selection. Paninis. Great cookies. Sundried tomato and pesto...Mmmmmmm. Service even for take out takes forever. Order ahead. Gourmet, mouthwatering sandwiches. read more

Just got a pizza here. Big layer of orange grease on top, crust was burnt and too much sauce leaving it mushy. Doubt I will try this again. read more

Went here for dinner as a group of 7. Make sure you make a reservation and don't be late! This was the most authentic and best italian dinner I have had at a restaurant in a long time. Great portions, good price. I highly recommend it and will be back! BYOB read more

This place is insane. Can't explain it, you just have to go. So very very cool... One in a million. Yum.

The Hampton Junction is my local "go-to" spot. It is so homey and comfortable- it's like walking into your mothers kitchen and being well fed. The food is delicious! Made from scratch orders. Beautiful breakfast treats (cinnamon buns are AMAZING) and after dinner desserts. The home made bread and pizzas are TO DO FOR. Nothing beats a pork roll, egg and cheese on their home made bread! I cant gush enough about their pizzas! They are made with their own home made mozzarella- the margherita is always delicious. My second favorite is a white pizza with spinach, broccoli and roasted garlic. They also have a wood burning pizza oven. The head cook also makes all of her pastas from scratch. On Thursday pasta nights you will catch her rolling out the dough for your plate of angel hair, and running it several times through the pasta machine to get it delicately thin. Again, i have nothing but kudos to say about the Hampton Junction. a wonderful spot!!! oh! And its BYOB! read more

What an exceptional restaurant! All home cooked family recipes that have will leave you wanting more. The pasta is made in house as ate the deserts. The ravioli is referred to as " pillows on heaven" and are delicious. The service is great and you will feel like you were at grandma's house for Sunday dinner. read more

My wife and I had one of the best meals we have had in a while here last night. The home made pasta was delicious as was the marinara sauce. The fried calamari and salads were excellent. One of the best chicken parm dinners I have had in a long time. The meatballs were excellent, and the home made bread very good. Calling this place a deli is a disservice, it is so much more. BYOB here, make a reservation its small inside. If you want a good local place with great homemade pasta then make sure you hit this spot up. I wish I had room for dessert. read more

This place looks like a little red barn from the outside and not a restaurant so if you're not paying attention, you'll drive past it. Once inside, it's a simple but cute place. The food is tasty, made to order, and fresh. All selections on the menu are very reasonably priced. I would definitely come back for lunch. read more

So we went here for breakfast the other day and it was quite good. We got some omelets and waffles, it all tasted fresh, and was very nicely plated. The downside was it took WAY too long to get the food. We even heard the owner telling the cook, that no one wants to wait more then 20 minutes for breakfast. He was a young kid, so not sure if he was just nervous or what, but once the owner jumped in everything went faster. But my egg was only slightly warm when it came out, cheese not really melted. And the waffle we got, although very tasty was not warm either and we bit into a large slab of butter that I'm assuming was supposed to be melted on the hot waffles, if they had been hot, but since they weren't it was just a huge slab of butter under the whip cream. Overall we would go back but would probably order ahead of time. read more

This place is small, a hidden gem, the staff is so welcoming and friendly and their sandwiches are amazing! It was the first place we ate at locally before we even moved in. After eating there we were like okay- there's a good sandwich place. We can move here! read more

Ate there last night with a big group. Everyone was happy except those who ordered the chicken Parmesan. The chicken Parmesan was un-cuttable and un-chewable. Absolutely the toughest chicken I've ever had. I'm sure this was a glitch since the rest of the customers seemed happy as were most at our table. But the owners should know: improve your $18 chicken entree! I will come back however I will probably get the ravioli or the lasagna which are quite popular. My table mate truly enjoyed the ravioli in fact. read more

I have been coming to the deli for dinner for a little while now and love it. Their home made pasta is awesome and has a very small-town atmosphere. Recently, they catered a party I had and the prices were fair and the food was a huge hit. read more

Best BLT with avocado I've ever had. Bacon was cooked when I ordered the sandwich not reheated. Bread was perfectly toasted. My gf loves the basil lime dressing. I liked it too. I even ate the macaroni side. I never eat that stuff. This is home grown quality food with healthy sized portions. You simply don't find places like this very often. read more

Found this hole in the wall on yelp and tried it based on the recommendations. Definitely not disappointed !!! The pasta is literally made right there where you can see it. The people are incredibly nice and the food is delicious. My husband ordered the chicken parm and I had to try the eggplant rollitini that everyone raves about. We were very pleased. The portions were a good size and we both left very happy and full! We will make sure to come back with wine next time as this place is byob. Wine they might not have but they did have a slush puppy machine. My husband also ordered a slush puppy with dinner and loved it. read more

I love this place. It's probably the best restaurant in the small Hampton Boro. I love the feel of the restaurant inside sort of a deli counter type place. The food is all homemade, fresh and delicious. The portions are huge so you get your money's worth. If you are coming on the weekends makes sure you have reservations because this place fills up! Highly recommended as a diamond in the rough from a local transplant :) read more

I had the pleasure of experiencing culinary magic! What a fantastic dinner. We started with the server opening our wine and bringing ice for our "drinks" (it's BYOB). We ordered the calamari which was delicious and very generous. Wednesday was "fish" night (Specials) I ordered the $20 pre-fixed meal which started with a very rich and creamy tomato soup. I ordered the Flounder with fresh spinach and white beans (both sautéed in a garlicky sauce) for my main course. It was delicious. I ended with a perfect bread pudding! ~Thank you so much! I can't wait to go back! read more

Hampton Junction - Hanging on the wall in the dining room was a beautifully handwritten (in chalk on a board) Christmas message by a very talented server! - Delis Near Me - Hampton, New Jersey

This is our favorite Italian restaurant in all of Hunterdon County!! The owners are awesome and always remember faces. Not only that it's an open kitchen so you can see all of the pastas being handmade in front of you! It's usually always crowded. It's so authentic and traditional. Prices are on point for what you're getting. The mussels appetizer and mommy sticks are hands down amazing! I could eat that alone as a meal. Entrees are always served with a salad and I'm pretty sure all of not most dressings are home made. Unique atmosphere, very homestyle. LOVE Everything about this place! read more

Awesome awesome food and Susan I think her name was is such a sweetheart. Next time I'm auditing I will be back there!!

The best Italian food I've ever had. Linda makes every ingredient from scratch. She has trained her staff well, and the food is simple and delicious. I challenge anyone to find fresher, better tasting Italian food in New Jersey. read more

OMG, we're from California. Our friends brought us here. Fresh, made daily, authentic Italian food. Lovely setting, great service, to die for food! read more
