Sadly, they are selling the business, but I will recommend trying it before they do. I'm honestly scared. It's gonna turn into something else.. I hope whoever decides to buy this business keeps it the same. It's right at the end of KEARNY and such a welcoming place. The owners are always kind to my kiddos and very family friendly. It has an old school vibe, but it is perfectly clean! I highly recommend you give this place a try you won't be disappointed I promise.

I…read moreguess I can find comfort that I drank entirely too many of them in my youth and even my own kids got to try them once or twice before the company went kaput.) Onward and upwards... it's now (almost) 2024 and while the the shelves are a bit more sparse than I recall and they got rid of their lottery machine (which seemed to bring in a lot of old-timers) - what I'm here for is their sandwiches. Specifically their #1 Italian. And I'm happy to report: they're still the best around. (And it tasted even better after a recent not-so-good visit to a Jersey Mike's in my hometown.) Besides their incredible subs you'll find the usuals (chips, soda, ice cream) and a few random items (aspirin, Chapstick). Cool crew behind the counter. Good pricing for such a quality product. Trying to find parking is still a nightmare. 'Enjoy every sandwich.' -- Warren Zevon (No truer words were ever spoken.)

It kills me to give two stars. It actually takes everything out of me to do so. Which is why I…read moresat, waited and thought about this review. We ordered a few breakfast sandwiches in a Sunday morning. Out of the gate we are told they are out of round rolls. Alright, I can understand that. I'm assuming they don't make the round rolls there, so one you're sold out.... you're sold out. My wife opted for her sandwich on an everything bagel. They're out of everything bagels. Really??? I get there and as I'm waiting, their entire case is basically empty of all bagels with the exception of plain bagels. Now I'm confused. How is a bagel place out of everything with the exception of plain bagels. Alright, it is what it is. I pay for my sandwiches and I'm on my way. I should also mention that the girl at the counter was very confused which is alarming considering I was the only one in there. She asked if I was one name, when I said no, she looked perplexed. I'm thinking, how many orders could you have? Especially considering I ordered five sandwiches?? We get home and keep in mind that I only live 4 minutes from the establishment. All sandwiches are cold. Not only cold but it was basically a bagel with a hint of taylor ham and egg. I will admit that I do not like my sandwiches on bagels because most of the time I find them too doughy. Still doesn't excuse the fact that it was cold but that could be the reason why I felt it was mostly bread. Needless to say that my quest for a good breakfast sandwich in my immediate area continues.

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.

Visited Hobby's today on a long layover between Brussels and Las Vegas. After a couple weeks in…read moreEurope, I was ready for free water in a cup bigger than a thimble, drip coffee and in a cup larger than an espresso cup, vegetables that come with meals, actual gluten-free options and not having to pay €0.50-1 as a customer to use the restroom. Luckily I found Hobby's Delicatessen via Find Me Gluten Free and was so glad to find that they do legitimate gluten-free options with a dedicated fryer and prep space to prevent cross contamination. I had the gluten-free pastrami wrap with fries for $23.95 and my husband had the #5 pastrami and corned beef with coleslaw and Russian dressing for $25.95. he also got the drip coffee with free refills for $3.25. Service was amazing. Owner's came out and chatted with us and preemptively made sure that I was aware that my food was safe for me to consume. Our waitress was incredibly personable and sweet. There were free pickles on the table. I'm not even a pickle person but I had three because again, I've been dying for vegetables after being in Europe. Great portions, safe celiac options, personable service, refillable drinks and no charge to use the toilets (although I didn't need to use them during this visit) This is what makes American restaurants great and Hobby's ticks all of those boxes.

Ham salami and cheese was the same. Sandwiches were eating a lettuce sandwich. Young kids in the store. I did say something they didn't respond. Top it all off the cost was $57.00. For lettuce and bread. I should have walk out but it's not the kids fault its the owner who taught them. It's worth the drive to go to Nutley or Lyndhurst to get a great SUB for less $$$. Never again will I go to that store.

I like this old school, friendly family vibe. They seem to know everyone that walks in and after my first visit I felt welcomed like everyone else. Prices are ridiculously INEXPENSIVE. Cheap! And generous servings. Thursday it was busy at lunchtime. I could tell they were stressed and several people were waiting. They care and assured that everyone was taken care of. So, please be patient, it's worth the wait! Keep supporting this wonderful family business! I'll make a point to stop back in whenever I'm close to Newark.
