This is an amazing deli! Highly recommend their sloppy Joe it was so good! Sandwiches are all made fresh in front of you. What was even more amazing than the sandwiches was the customer service. I brought my young daughter in with me and the entire staff was so kind to her. This has become our new favorite spot! read more

Solid old school deli. It's a little rough around the edges which adds to the ambiance. The important thing is the food is very good. Nothing fancy or overly creative which is fine by me. Just basic deli fare done well. Today I ordered the Sloppy Joe Sandwich. Roast beef and turkey piled very high with cole slaw, Russian dressing on rye. Excellent. If you are in the neighborhood it's definitely worth trying. read more

Max's Delicatessen - Max's Sloppy Joe sandwich. - Delis Near Me - Wayne, New Jersey

This is an old school deli that has been around for many years. I have gone here many times over the past 10 years and would say it was 4-5 stars in the past. However, this business was recently sold. The new owner Sam, seems to always trying to multi task but can't do one thing right. Even though some of the older workers are still there, it's now a crap shoot if you will get a good sandwich. Also half the coolers have drinks and food in them. Not a good sign. read more

So so so happy with this place. We're visiting and chose this because it was close to our hotel but they did a PHENOMENAL job!!! We got a lot of different things and each thing was good. The bagel was amazing and the Mac salad was delicious!!! The only thing is you have to wait a little but that's because she's hand slicing the meat to order. Definitely recommend read more

See all

There BLT sandwich and coffee was great. The owner was so down to earth and greeted us kindly when we came to his deli. Chicken soup was also good as well. read more

Decided to check it out. Being in the Food Industry, it`s tough for us, more so to eat out. Bottom Line, what a great Sloppy Joe. Everything was fresh, and it lasted us 2 days and we shared it. My husband & I can`t wait to go back. Check it out, you wont regret it...................... read more

This is the best Deli in Wayne. The food is always fresh, their sandwiches are always prepared with the customer in mind. The store is in a shopping center off route 23 on the north bound side just past Packanack Lake Road. Look for it, just don't stop anywhere! read more

All the food is great but Craig's bow tie pasta salad is my favorite pasta-based salad around. I always include that in our summer BBQ catering plans. read more

Soooooo gooood. I asked for an Italian combo but here it's called the TORPEDO which adds hot ham to the combo. It was very hearty and the bread was soft. Everything was perfectly proportioned. The staff was warm and hospitable. I will definitely come here again when I'm in town. read more

Very nice folks at this place, sandwiches are good but they would be outstanding if they would change there hero bread. Bread makes the sandwich and those long rolls they use are not an great option over alot of other breads. Still a great place to eat tho. read more

Fantastic sandwiches and great selection of chips to go along with them. Staff is very friendly and always has a suggestion if you can't decide. My go to is Chicken Salad with Bacon Lettuce and Tomato and it's so good every time. I get lunch here at least twice a week and I'll continue to do so. read more

found my new favorite deli. they know their meats so much so, they make their own roast beef which is hard to find anymore these days.

A good sandwich place not great. Small little deli with a very friendly staff. Have only had some sandwiches from here never tried their salads or any other homemade food. They have a couple special sandwiches listed or will make whatever you want. They are not overloaded with meat but for me I could use a couple more slices for the prices! read more

I stopped at Max's for the first time a few weeks ago for a quick sandwich, and I was blown away by how good it was. I can't believe I've been in town as long as I have and had not tried it out. The service was great, and the workers were nice. I ordered the Torpedo, and it was phenomenal. I'll be going back for sure. read more

Well I'm not a picky person so I let the fact that the prosciutto was old and too hard to chew go until I got a piece of very hard and pointed plastic in my mouth almost chipping a tooth. I let it go because I was starving and sure enough on the second half, a second jagged shard of plastic... So that's the end of that. Sucks because I was glad we had a deli close by. Ended up with a toothache but thank God I didn't swallow them. They were out of half the stuff I wanted anyway so guess I shouldn't have had such high hopes. read more

Max's Delicatessen - Quit eating after I found these great pointed plastic hunks. - Delis Near Me - Wayne, New Jersey

There's nothing really spectacular about this place. I go here whenever I'm passing by but Preakness deli is better on so many levels. The sandwiches are overpriced considering there's only an average amount of meat and filling that goes into them. Wait time is also average and they don't have a big list of specialty sandwiches. Mediocre at best. read more

Serving traditional and innovative versions of deli sandwiches, Max's Delicatessen is much more than your typical strip mall sandwich shop. The menu includes the usual 'single meat' hot and cold sandwiches, as well as a small selection of signature combination sandwiches, using high quality ingredients and prepared with care. My favorite sandwiches at Max's are the unique combinations. I'm a big fan of the Child Champion ($8.50), comprised of grilled or breaded chicken breast, mozzerella, roasted red peppers, lettuce, and balsamic vinegar served on a roll of your choice, and the Italian-hero derived Torpedo ($7.50), comprised of ham, hot ham, salami, provolone, lettuce, tomato, onion, and oil & vinegar or mayo served on a roll of your choice. It's the freshly-baked hero rolls always used by Max's that makes such a big difference to me -- the crust is perfectly crunchy on the outside and the bread is soft on the inside. Service at Max's Deli is always prompt and friendly. Prices are a little higher than a chain sandwich shop, but Max's Deli differentiates itself on quality and service. read more

Hands down, the best taylor ham, egg, and cheese sandwich in a 10 mile radius. You can get it on a variety of rolls, but I suggest using the everything bagel. As evidenced by the picture, the sandwich was so hefty it nearly tilted the bike when I placed it in the saddlebag, so I took a quick bite out of that beauty to try to level the load before motoring off. Service is prompt and friendly. Great selection of drinks in the cooler. The chicken cutlets are excellent, and all the side salads are tasty. I have not tried the catering, but will come calling on Max's for food during the fantasy football draft season. In a world full of mediocre chain eateries, Max's is a bastion of flavor, come support the independents and be rewarded with great food. read more

I went into Max's tonight to order a few sandwiches for dinner and to get some potato salad. I ordered two Italian heroes, a turkey sloppy joe, a grilled chicken vegetable wrap and the potato salad. The turkey sloppy joe was a massive sandwich with piles of delicious turkey, cole slaw, Russian dressing and soft rye bread. Awesome Sandwich! The potato salad is as good as my mother's God Rest her Soul. My daughter didn't like the chicken wrap at all. She said the chicken was crappy like premade stuff from Shop Rite. Ok that's a negative! My wife and son enjoyed the Italian heroes made on round rolls. I'll be back but maybe not my daughter! read more

Torpedo was delicious. Chrissy pack up my sandwich If you go there ask for Chrissy. Very taste love the service Chrissy provided to us. Is a small spot but good. I recommend the Torpedo. read more

They have Great Ham and Cheese sandwich's , also the pickles are good and the cucumber salad is pretty good as well.

Great deli in a large strip mall. I was heading to work and pulled in due to traffic on 23N. Say the neon signs and decided to give this place a try. It was around 1pm and it was quite busy inside. I waited about 10 minutes in my car. They work quick. No line by the time I got in. Ordered the Landmine. Great portions of meat... almost too much for my taste but I was hungry. They have Vanilla Coke, too! A must try if your in the area for a great samdwich. read more

Food made with care. I am thankful that I work so close to this gem of a deli. The specials every day are fantastic. It's a tough choice of what to get. Everything myself and my coworkers have had have been delicious. Actually a coworker told me of a catering job prepared by Maxes and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the food. We will be ordering more. I do love to cook and my family loves what I make. I do enjoy a meal made with care as Max obviously does. Do yourself a favor and try out this gem. It located by the Food town on Rt 23 by Packanack Rd. read more

Best fresh turkey I've had and trust me I've had em all. I've been coming to maxes for close to 20 years and not once has it disappointed. Staff and service are fantastic and know how to make a proper sandwich. Also the hot food is second to none. If you're in the area of route 23 or even north jersey you need to make the trek. read more

By far best Taylor ham, egg and cheese in town and probably goes further than that. This place doesn't cheap you on ingredients and quality. Excellent deli for breakfast sandwiches and lunch. Everything made to order and the service is excellent and friendly. Highly recommend this place. read more

Great food at a great price with plenty of meat and a friendly staff!

Was driving by decided to give this deli a try being that I drive by at least 3 times a week. I'm so glad I did just got your basic egg and bacon sandwich it was plentiful and delicious. read more

On what planet do you pay $9.51 for a turkey and cheese on a roll with a small bag of chips? Obviously right here on planet earth, rt. 23 to be exact. My issue is not with the sandwich. The sandwich was ok,not great,but ok. At that price I would expect a giant sandwich(with extra meat) maybe with a pickle or small cup of coleslaw thrown in. So I paid almost 10 bucks for a regular old sandwich with a 1.5 oz small bag of chips. Unreal. I am a sucker. I admit to being fleeced this time. Also- do not go in here if you are in a rush. They seem to be on Caribbean time. Which is fine....if you're in the Caribbean, but you're in Wayne NJ. Never again. read more

I had Jackie make my sandwich and it was great as usual, but she gave me some macaroni salad with tuna to try and OMG It was the best I ever had . This place has great sandwiches and salads, the staff is very friendly and pleasing to look at read more

30 minute wait for a bagel with egg and cheese. One other person in line. Three people behind the counter having a grand old time. Nonsense.

This was my first visit to Max's Deli. It was noon on a Wednesday. The tiny store wasn't too busy but unfortunately I had the luck of getting stuck behind someone who ordered a whole lot of food. I placed my order after a 15 minute wait. I enjoyed my roast beef wrap special with beef barley soup while listening to Bryan Adams, U2 and other 80's tunes as well as the owner's own rendition of the chorus section. It's mainly a take-out place but there are a few counter seats if you want to stay. There's a television but it was off. The wrap was thick with plenty of favorable meat and vegetables. read more

The sandwich was great and so was the customer service and interactions. I highly recommend stopping in there, especially when more than half of their items, salads, soups, roast beef, and Turkey are made in house. Cant get any fresher than that. read more
