Came here to get bagels for the house of people I was staying with, and walked in right when it opened. It's your standard deli, you can get sandwhiches and other things that you need. Nicer service than I'm used to in New York. The bagels were all pretty old, except for the Sesame and Poppy ones. Not really great. read more

Got breakfast sammies here on a "Shoulder Season" Fridy and the place was bare bones. Hardly any produce is carried here. Don't reply on them for groceries or supplies but the breakfast sandwiches were fresh and so delicious - eaten out at the picnic tables. Glad they are still here but wish they carried lettuce, tomato and cukes. read more

Place is terrible, they made me spend 10 to be able to Pay! The food is ok. The service is not good. The ambiance is ugh.

A visit to Barnegat Light isn't complete without having a Taylor Ham/Egg/Cheese sandwich on a hard roll from the Inlet Deli. read more

Inlet Delicatessen - Delis Near Me - Barnegat Light, New Jersey

Great breakfast joint! Have been going there for years always happy afterwards! Great value compared to the rest of the island!

Had excellent sandwiches here and the workers were so kind and helpful! The little lady working cash register is the sweetest around :)

A nice old school deli in Barnegat Light. The place has been here forever, as well as the people working here. A good hearty breakfast sandwich at a reasonable price. Coffee is good too. My only complaint is that they took out all the tables to eat at because of "COVID", as well have random plastic sheets hanging that do nothing at all to protect anyone as they aren't in the areas where people are close to one another. Add the tables back and let people enjoy company with one another like a beach town/ deli is known for. Also, can we please open the bathrooms to paying patrons? COVID, really??!? read more

Excellent deli! The cornerstone of barnegat light. Kind people, great food. Excellent sandwiches, bagels, breakfast sandwiches.

Wow, the food here is exquisite, however I don't think they know how to cut bagels. I got 5 bagels and 2 of them were given medial cuts instead of half...I am FURIOUS! Not to mention they misspelled plain bagel "plane". But wow they really know how to make a bagel. Get the ham egg and cheese with a hash brown on an everything bagel. I had to go back for seconds because they were so good read more

Inlet Delicatessen - two sandwiches wrapped in tin foil - Delis Near Me - Barnegat Light, New Jersey

Great service nice people well stocked fresh items clean place I highly recommend to all .

Open year round. Sandwiches are well made and tasty, they have delicious crumb cake and donuts (huge!) as well as other breakfast items. They also stock some essential items for a weekend stay. The folks that work here are always very accommodating and friendly. Located at the northern tip of Barnegat Light so grab a sandwich and a drink and walk over to the picnic tables by the lighthouse and watch the boats and fishermen. read more

Very good deli. However, the staff is what separates this place from other delis. They are so so nice. Come here for a sandwich you won't regret it read more

Just wonderful in every way! Small business that cares for their customers. Food is always above and beyond.

The deli sandwiches are actually very tasty, and depending on the time you get here will determine if you're in line a long time or waiting for your food a long time. The place is run mostly by teens at the counter and register, so things could get hectic. When I was there on multiple visits, staff was nice and it was not crowded. Prices are not marked at all, so watch out! read more

When a business has been open for over 125 years, you assume it will be good. The Inlet Deli wasn't just good, it was excellent. It is a small grocery store and sandwich shop but, although limited in choices, it still had everything we needed. However, what made it excellent, is its staff. We received over the top assistance in finding items we needed when we didn't know where to look. When ordering sandwiches, the staff made recommendations that were right on the money for our tastes. The prepared food was delicious. Finally, even the décor was pleasant and gave us a comfortable feeling. I can't believe I've been coming to this island for over 30 years and never stopped in before. I'll be back. read more

We stopped in here around noon on a Saturday, it was not busy and our order was taken right away. However, the wait was about 30 minutes for two hoagies and even with about 5 people behind the deli counter working. There are not many deli options in this immediate area so make sure to call and order ahead to avoid the wait or just don't come in hungry if you're willing to order in-store. My hoagie was hearty and very good, the turkey was stacked high and the bread was fresh so if you're looking for a good sandwich come here - but call and order ahead!! read more

Oh, man. Used to enjoy this place back in the day. But now ... Went there August 30th around noon for a sub. The teen assembling my sandwich had long floppy blond hair that he shook as he struggled to slice the bread. No head treatment. Definitely not cool. Said teen (about 15 years old) then proceeded to botch the order. Person obviously hadn't received proper food service training, for which I blame management. To add insult to injury, the manager/proprietor was there, chatting up some other customer about a boat when he should have been watching over operations. Must to avoid. read more

Staff smile at each other and snarl at the customers, it's obvious they are over the tourist season. I was not impressed with the cheesesteak, it was cooked in an obscene amount of oil, so much oil that it coated the outside of the bun. My hands were a greasy mess before the first bite, and of course there were no napkins put in the bag. Also, why on a hot summer day do you sell bags of ice but do not provide ice for the soft drinks? read more

I wanted to try a new place to order from. Call to order 5 basic sandwiches and was rudely snapped at and constantly put on hold. When I asked if they were getting all of it because of being put on hold several times they proceed to hang up on me. Rude is an understatement to the girl on the phone. read more

Interesting and helpful staff. Delicious bagels delivered daily from Brooklyn. Great Italian sub..practically enough to to feed four people. Great egg sandwiches ...open every day of the yrar...or so they say read more

I love this place! It has just what you need. This is a deli, not a grocery store but they do stock some essential items for your stay on LBI. From toilet paper to deodorant, they've got you covered. But they best thing they offer, is their kind service. I went in at 8 am and was greeted warmly and was helped out with my bags by a lovely female employee. Great way to start my day and I will be coming back here! read more

The kids working always try their best, but there is little to no supervision. Lots of inconsistencies with the sandwiches with regard to the prices, what's included, and the quality in which it is made. I ordered the egg salad wrap special and it was soggy, squished, and unappetizing looking. A while back this was the place to go, but it's really fallen off in the past 5 or 6 years. There aren't many options on the northern part of the island, so this place continues to operate. Not a bad place to stop if you're in a pinch. read more

Great place to eat in Barnegat right around the corner from Old Barney. Huge sandwiches and very good, smooth coffee. Very friendly staff. read more

This is my favorite place in Barnegat Light to get breakfast! They have fantastic egg sandwiches with cheese and your choice of meat. They are very reasonably priced at $3.99 and have free coffee on Mondays! read more

I love the inlet deli. Every summer that I come to LBI we go there. The sandwiches are really good, and they always have a wide selection of foods. The best thing is that they are also good for breakfast. The employees are also very nice, and they complete your orders in a timely fashion. It does not have much seating, but it makes up for it with the quality of their service. There's not much to say about it, but it is a very good deli. read more

Great deli. The sandwiches are huge. The island prices are reasonable and service and friendly demeanor of the staff is outstanding. Great lunch stop whether you are working on a house or renting one. read more

I have been there twice--once this year and once last year. Last year the service was quick and the food was good. This year, my experience was very bad. I went in to get lunch with my mother after visiting Barnegat Light. There were five people working behind the counter. No one came to help us and after waiting at the counter for several minutes being ignored, we started leaving only to be called back. We placed our orders and waited for about 15 minutes to get them. We ordered a chicken salad sandwich, and after waiting about 10 minutes, we were told there was no chicken salad left asked if we wanted a chicken cutlet. Without asking about any condiments, we were given a slab of chicken on a roll, with no condiments or vegetables. We ordered small sandwiches, and they charged us for a larger size. When we inquired about why they charged us more than the menu price, the cashier and five kitchen workers all began arguing with us, telling us we misread the menu. We paid the more expensive price and left, only to have the cashier give us a snarky remark as we left. While the food was average, the service was very bad. I will not be patronizing the establishment again. read more

But we keep going back....Their bagel sandwiches are superb. The staff/operation is a cluster. Every other time we go the pricing is different. Yesterday the new insult was to take our egg/bacon/cheese and give it away to 'friends' who arrived after we did....so we ended up with a double wait! About half the time they screw up the order by getting the wrong contents on the wrong bagels. They are shamelessly unfair and incompetent. So 'south jersey'. But we endure the constant indignities and take our drippy hot yummy sandwiches up to the lighthouse and enjoy the boat parade. read more

Ate here yesterday for the first time. Yum! Very well constructed sandwich with a ton of turkey and the perfect ratio of condiments to bread. A great value and will be going back today! read more

This is the best spot in Barnegat Light! Fresh bagels, great cheese steaks, coffee, the morning paper, basic groceries (Milk, butter, eggs, bread...).Open year round! read more

I look forward to each time I get to visit LBI and my first stop is the Inlet Deli! They have the best hoagies around and don't forget to try their breakfast sandwiches as well. They even offer free coffee on Monday! Every time I have gone in I have been pleased with the level of customer service and the food is off the charts!!! read more

Free coffee Mondays are a great way to start my week! Not to mention, the Inlet Deli has the best pork roll egg and cheese sandwich on the island! read more

Been coming to LBI for 8 years wanted to try a different place . I called to place an order for 7 sandwiches and the woman was extremely rude put me on hold 5 times and the last time she proceeded to say .... really you have more to order and hung up . read more

Just order lunch two hoagies, cheesesteak and pork roll egg and cheese. All the sandwiches were big on the bread, but nothing else. No cheese on the cheesesteak and two small slivers of a fried onion. Bread over powered the hoagies and little taste of fresh lettuce and tomatoe. Called and spoke to owner to express my concern and all she said was no one ever complains and sorry. This new owner has only been around one year. We always went here with the old owner and was never disappointed. Will be going to White's for our sandwiches from now on especially when the owner made no attempt to offer a recourse for our terrible lunch besides saying sorry. read more

This place use to be awesome but now.... seems like the quality of ingredients has dropped significantly. The bagels used to be awesome and now they're selling day old at full price. That's pretty ridiculous. read more

Delicious cheese steaks! Other things are good as well. Every time I come to LBI I have one of those bad boys for lunch. $12 for a large is kind of pricey, but it's at least a full sandwich not just an overpriced loaf of bread with some stuff in the middle. Lunch for two (two sandwiches, 2 sodas and a small bag of chips) was $23.00. read more

Sandwiches were acceptable.. however the staff is not. The employee behind the deli counter was completely rude. Needs a lesson on customer service and how to speak to people politely. The front counter needs more help. The employee was unable to keep up with the phones/taking orders and cashing people out. read more

We called the Inlet Deli for sandwich trays for the bridal party for lunch for my daughter's wedding at Bonnet Island Estate. We ended up getting mini muffins for their breakfast and trays for the band and photographer too. They made it simple and Joe even accommodated me by cutting up fresh fruit. It was all delivered in plenty of time and enjoyed. I highly recommend them for any service like this-- you will not regret it! Also-- very cheerful and kind. So glad that we happened to stop in for a sandwich last summer. read more

This is one groovy deli! Great food, fantastic staff! Make sure you ask for the cute red head, Chris, to make your sandwich

Boy. Is that owner/manager an ignorant person. I have shopped at this location for 20 YEARS and I have never experienced such rudeness. Not only do they NOT post prices which i know is bc this is summer but when I was checking out with the salesclerk the most rudest man (acting like a mgr) came over to the register & started to recalculate my purchases just spouting off new prices writing them on a scrap piece of paper with a highlighter stating that the prices went up almost double! UNBELIEVABLE. do not shop here"........go to White's. read more
