Turkey and ham
Allia K.

This is a little sandwich shop I came across. First timer and it was very good. The customer service is great. The gentleman that helped me was very nice and was more than willing to substitute certain meats on my sandwich. It is a small shop so more so of a grab and go. The hero was very good that I would def come by again and try another one of their options.

Very solid sandwich shop. They have a wide variety of options to choose from - im not sure if they do custom sandwich's but would imagine so. I asked about the most popular sandwiches and was told about the belly buster. It did not disappoint. Very packed. Was made on the spot and was delicious. Sandwich is large so a half would be enough for one person.

I can only review one sandwich from here, since I've only ordered one'. Lol The roast beef, mozzarella and gravy is delicious delicious delicious!! Went back 2 more times just for this sandwich!!

This is half a #4 (Hot Italian) sub
William C.

This is a nice little sandwich shop on Franklin Ave in Nutley. The service is friendly and boy, they know how to make a sandwich! The hot Italian sub (#4) is great, with lots of meat and cheese with just the right roll and consistency. And they have specials: The Hoboken (Wed & Sat) has hot roast beef, gravy, and fresh mozzarella. The Pink Pig (Mon & Tue) is a pulled pork and cheddar cheese sandwich. There are other special sandwiches available daily including a vegetarian option. Neither my wife nor I could finish more than half a sandwich, they are very large. Side salads are nice, we liked their potato and tortellini salads. This is on my list of places that I am willing to drive over 20 minutes to get to for the food. Highly recommended.

This is worth the trip no matter where you are I'm glad I drove around I went to three places and had sandwiches made and told the people I'm not buying it after I saw them make it this place is awesome I highly recommend

Prosciutto & Mozzarella

I feel like great sandwiches now are really are to find in the area but boy am i glad i found this place because it was amazing. First and most importantly in my opinion, the service was great. The people working there are super friendly and created us as we walked in. They provided us with there specials and were open to any questions we had. We ordered an Italian sub and a prosciutto and mozzarella sub with specific topics. It was perfectly made and tasted so so fresh! So happy i found this place will become a regular!

Hoboken Sandwich on Wednesdays and Fridays....can't wait to try it

Once you walk in you are greeted immediately with a smile and such awesome service. First time here....well be prepared for all the wonderful suggestions they offer. All you see were the funkiest sandwich names that were nicely written on a big gigantic chalkboard. It's a small place but while you wait for your sandwich to be made....they have tons of autographed celebrity pics to your left to look at and explore other specialty sandwiches they carry for your next visit. Check out their soda fridge....lots of varieties to choose from which are made by them. Rae Lyn was nice enough for me to try their chocolate egg cream soda....I honestly thought I wasn't going to like it but she wasn't kidding when she said....if you like chocolate this won't disappoint you and she was on point. I also ordered the Larry David....hot pastrami (great amount of meat) with provolone cheese and their special hero king sauce...similar to thousand island dressing but had a nice kick to it. I ordered a 1/2 and only could eat half of it and ate the rest 4 hours later and it was delicious!!! Bread was so fresh along with the meat. It's funny too because my husband went there after I told him I came to finally visit and got the same thing lol. So what to know: - Street parking only....have quarters for the meters if coming for the day...they don't accept dimes or nickels - The famous sandwiches are written in orange on the chalkboard - They have their own Hero King soda flavors - Bread is soft and so fresh and so good - Meats are freshly cut when ordered - 3 locations (Nutley, Newark, and Point Pleasant) - They are very generous with their meat...I mean very generous - Hoboken Sandwich are only on Wednesday and Saturdays which includes roast beef, fresh mutz and gravy Hero King has great staff. Rae Lyn, John, and Nick told me how they don't precut the meat when ordered to keep the sandwich fresh which definitely is a true fact. So happy I found this place because they are up to par when I have a taste for Tastee's in Edison, NJ which is way too far for me to travel....so happy to have found my "Hero King".....you guys rock and you'll definitely see me around again very soon!!!

Would be able to order the Lobster Roll tomorrow 3/4 for delivery?

We close at 3:00, and usually by 1:00 we are out of the Lobster Rolls. People order 4 or 5 Lobster Rolls at one time. We do not delivery. We use Uber Eats for our deliviers.

My wife & I are both retired & foodies. We Love to eat All Kinds of cuisines, be it a restaurant,…read moreDelicatessen, Diner, etc. I was in the mood for a Good Sub/Hoagie about 3 weeks ago so I Googled, "best sandwich shops" & Vilardo's came up on my search along with other establishments. Since they are only a few blocks from where I live decided to give them a try. So let's get started. CONS --- Entryway Front Step Very High with NO Railings. I'm over 70 and use a cane, so it was difficult for me to manage that step, but I did. Other than that No other cons. PROS --- Overall the place has a comfy atmosphere. There's an area for those patrons who prefer to dine in. Their menus are clearly posted w/pricing. They have a deli case with various salads Macaroni, Potato, Coleslaw, Pasta, Tuna, etc. which you can peruse while waiting in line. The place is Clean, the employees very Hospitable, and the food is Fantastic!! They DO NOT SKIMP when preparing your sandwich, salad or entree. Pricing is Extraordinary. If this had been any other Deli, I'd have paid at least $10-$15 dollars more. Since my original visit I've been back 2 times. I plan to try a different sandwich on each future visit I can safely say It will be a Long Long time if ever, before I go to a "Jersey Mikes", or "Blimpies," again. I've NEVER eaten at Subway, & Never Will! There are 2 or three other Deli's/Sub Shops that I like and will continue to patronize along with Vilardo's.

Stopped into Vilardo's Deli for lunch and ordered the Chicken Cutlet #4. What a sandwich. Crispy…read morechicken cutlet topped with fresh mozzarella, arugula, roasted red peppers, and a balsamic glaze which brought everything together just perfectly. The bread was fresh and had just the right crunch. Service was quick and efficient, parking was easy, and the location is super convenient. Sometimes the simplest lunches end up being the best. This was one of them. I'll definitely be back for another.

Vinnie's Mootz is a great resturant, and you will not be disappointed if you go there. You can tell…read morethe passion when they're making your food and care about your experience. Give them time and you'll not regret the food you eat. I would recommend the Italian Stallion. It is delicious

We finally made it this past weekend to Vinnie's Mootz for one of their special tasting menu…read morenights, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. If you're expecting a typical dinner, think again. The tasting menu featured around 12 courses, and by course ten I was completely full--but somehow still excited for what was coming next. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, packed with flavor and very tasty. For me the standout of the night was the very first dish which was Vinnie's homemade mozzarella with tomatoes, which was so good that we even bought some fresh mozzarella to take home. The meatballs were also outstanding, and the steak and eggplant course was another highlight. After all that food, finishing with a cannoli just felt like the perfect ending. The atmosphere is casual and inviting, but the food is every bit as good as what you'd find at restaurants that cost a lot more. Live guitar music throughout the evening added to the experience created a nice vibe. My only suggestion would be maybe to turn it down a notch or two as it was a little hard to hear others at our table. Still a very nice touch though and all songs you would know. I always like it when a chef comes out of the kitchen, especially at a tasting menu, and Vinnie came out several times to chat with guests which was very nice. It just added a personal touch and showed how much pride goes into both the food and the overall experience and we got to hear his back story. This tasting menu is an incredible value and a great way to try dishes you might not normally order. Just remember to come hungry--and maybe skip lunch beforehand. If you can get a reservation for one of these tasting nights, don't hesitate.
