Hanna&#x27;s Deli

Hobby's is a Newark institution, and for good reason, as it offers some of the best deli meats and…read morelunch sandwiches in the area. 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.

Working in Newark everyday allows me to enjoy lunch at Hobby's a few times a month…read more The restaurant itself is very dated and old school. Lots of Devils memorabilia is hung up throughout. Basic seating with nothing fancy. A full jar of fresh pickles is on the table. The pastrami is second to none. Seriously. You get a generous portion of pastrami on rye. Greasy, fatty, just perfect! The onion rings are the best. They are famous for a reason. I go a few times a month so, I'm always greeted by name and promptly seated. The food always arrives shortly after the order is taken.

Okayyyy TikTok, you got me with this one!…read more I came across a review of Big Rocs Deli on TikTok, and since it's right near my job, I figured, "Why not? Let me go see what the hype is about." 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! If you're in the area and love a good pastrami sandwich, put Big Rocs Deli on your list. This one did NOT disappoint!

The gobbler sandwich is yummy, The Godfadda, The Gossip Girl, I also have had an egg salad with layer of tuna salad Sloppy Joe-that is amazing! The Cobb salad is also a fave.

Sour cream is the way to go btw, still not convinced of the apple sauce. Wait wasn't too long, due to the number of lines you can stand in. You order first, eat, then pay.

You can get sandwiches, Greek specialities, and even some breakfast items (pancakes, French toast, etc.). The menu is great. Lots of options and the prices are wonderful.

One other nice touch was that they had 3 tables for people to sit at. Although this seems more like a order and take out place, the seating is a nice addition. I would definitely recommend this place for a bit on the way or from Penn Station. Or even if you just want a pretty cheap lunch option, it's a good place to go.

I'm 9 months pregnant might I add and the deli is basically on a narrow steep road with minimal spots. Not ideal.

Which was confusing because on the sign it clearly mentioned it's 1.75 for the bagel. Just shady!! Also, on more than one occasion I have noticed uncleanliness with how they prepare food. It's a local spot but you are better off going someone different. When I come here I normally stick to very basic things as they do not wash or clean a lot of their food especially salads.

My large "Charlie's special" hero was freshly made and more than passable. However, even if my entire order had been served by Dean Martin & Frank Sinatra, I would still be smarting from "Benanti's sticker shock!" Perhaps I was hypnotized by Charlie's gregarious, old world charm? You see, unlike almost ever other deli in America, Benanti's has no visible menu or sign, anywhere to be seen! And after wrapping up the order, which also included one Arizona Iced Tea; and a box of supposedly "freshly baked" Italian cookies, I whipped out my trusty Chase Credit Card only to be told that it was "cash only!" Again, no signs, anywhere. Maybe it was a mistake to pluck three $20 bills from the small wad of cash in my pants pocket. When I asked Charlie how much for everything, he replied $58, without hesitation. I quickly re-tabulated my little lunch order. The number still sounded like an awful lot, all things considered. When I questioned whether the # was correct, Charlie quickly did a pencil calculation on a shopping bag, and reconfirmed the aforementioned total. Like an idiot, I quickly gave him three 20's, accepted my $2 change, and exited the premises, never again to return!!! The End!
