Bolstered by the rave reviews, my husband and I made a special trip to visit this humble sandwich shop. Right off the bat, the presentation deserves gold stars. These sandwiches aren't small; each half is likely a pretty hearty meal on its own, and when served on decorative wax paper and a wooden serving board, it's a pretty sight. That said, nothing really wowed. I ordered the vodka parmigiana sandwich while my husband went with the sausage sandwich. The orders took some time to come out, which felt like an assurance that things were being prepared fresh, but I was surprised at how lukewarm the chicken cutlet, sauce, and sausage pieces were. On the plus side, the bread is the seeded variety (in my book, the ultimate type for a sandwich) and nicely toasted. My husband thought his sausage sandwich needed some sort of a sauce, to which the owners happily obliged with some ketchup. It helped, but his overall impression of his meal was similar to my own - good, not great. While our meal didn't blow us away, what everyone else has shared about the owners is true. These are the nicest, most welcoming folks behind the counter. They greeted us the moment we entered and guided us through the bestsellers of the menu. read more

A must stop whenever I'm in Jersey. The owners are the nicest people and their customer service is excellent. Such a well-run establishment and the food is amazing. I've tried a variety of their sandwiches but the Soprano and anything with eggplant are my go-tos. The Brooklyn - panini style is so damn good. Their eggplant is thin and perfectly crispy and I love how they press the fresh semolina bread for the panini. You can taste the quality in their ingredients and the care they put into each sandwich. I'm having a serious craving just writing this review. Highly recommend Nick's, give em a visit. read more

Stopped in for lunch on our way to a nearby hotel and it was fantastic. Carlos is incredible! He took the time to explain the entire menu, make a ton of suggestions, and continuously checked on us throughout the meal. We both went with the Soprano after he suggested it as his favorite. It was so delicious and the portion was perfect. The mozzarella paired with the balsamic and peppers was delicious. Yes, they charge some annoying fees for cards like other comments suggest but that's becoming pretty common. I wish they had more normal soda to choose from in the coolers since it was mostly specialty sodas. The dining room was spotless and they were constantly cleaning the prep areas as well. I'm shocked we were the only ones in here at noon. Give this place a shot! read more

Absolutely a hidden gem in Saddle Brook, NJ. Very good sandwiches with a wide variation of choices. They even have signature sandwiches to choose from. Service was great, the staff was very helpful in making me make up my mind on what sandwich to get. Definitely know their products. Don't be fool by the small a lot, great spot to come in and sit down to eat your sandwiches. I highly recommend the spot. You can order ahead and just drop in. read more

Second time coming to this shop! First time I had the Gambino which is my favorite sandwich so far even though they are all incredible. You will not be disappointed with whichever you pick. Ask for the garlic house aioli and the house pesto aioli sauce compliment the sandwiches if you like sauces. Always friendly and knowledgeable service counter and that's why you should always support local businesses. read more

I stumbled upon this shop while I was in town for work and I'm so glad that I did (but also so sad that I don't live closer!) Nick's reminded me so much of my old high school sub shop hangout from my youth, complete with a group of teens/tweens hanging out and sharing some sandwiches. I didn't know what to get, but was steered toward the Brooklyn by the super friendly staff and I'm happy to pass along that recommendation. The eggplant was perfectly seasoned and crisp. The fresh mozzarella, roasted red peppers, and balsamic vinegar were a fantastic combination. If there is the slightest chance that I will be in the area again, I will make a special trip to get this sandwich again. read more

I have ordered a couple of times from Nicks Sandwich Shop. The food is great, No complaints on that end. You can tell they use high quality ingredients but still does not explain their price breakdown. 1 empanada costs 3.50$ (Sauce included) and 12 pieces costs 34$. The empanada is about 3-4 inches long and if you wind up not ordering the 12 piece, you can expect to only see 1 sauce cup for however many empanada's you ordered. Once again the food is great but the prices need to be updated to a more accurate standing. read more

I must say, Nick's Sandwich Shop exceeded my expectations! The sandwich I had was absolutely delicious, fresh meat and packed with flavor. I tried the #1 (ham, salami, and provolone), and wow, I was beyond pleased. I also had the empanadas and tried the beef, which was incredibly tasty. And now, I'm enjoying the sausage, it's just as good! I'm so happy TikTok led me here because everything has been fantastic. The sandwiches are fresh, the food is delicious, and the staff is so kind and welcoming. My daughter loved it as well and can't stop talking about how good the food is. Her words: "It's super good!"

Go out of your way to find this small genuine sandwich, shop, in a small strip mall. Just amazing. The deli sandwiches are fresh and packed full of ingredients and the hot sandwiches are something special. Make sure to order the hot roast turkey or meatball or chicken Parm sandwiches. They will rank in the best you've ever had. They have specials every week that are always worth checking out. Service is prompt and friendly and catering is available and affordable.

My husband raved that the Classic panini was "the best sandwich I've EVER eaten;" he was especially impressed with the prosciutto. He's an excellent cook himself, so this is no small compliment. I had The Soprano, which was delicious. Both sandwiches were enormous - enough for lunch AND dinner. We didn't catch his name, but the young guy who took our order was super friendly and welcoming - made us feel right at home and went out of his way to accommodate us. We were just passing through the area, but will make a point to come here on future trips. read more

If #Cheers was a sandwich shop it would be called @nicks_sandwich_shop in Customers were greeted by first name one after another. There's a reason why they keep coming back, fresh ingredients and the bread makes their sandwiches that much better. I was told the #soprano was the one to try and they weren't wrong. Great chicken cutlet with crispy arugula, roasted peppers, balsamic vinegar, with melted homemade mozzarella, on toasted semolina bread was an awesome combination.

This was my first visit to Nick's Sandwich Shop. It doesn't have the tackiest signage which is why I missed it the first time. I came back and parked in the lot. The entrance is within a tunnel located at the center of the building, accessed only from the parking lot but not from the street. It was a Thursday at 11:30am and I was the only customer plus a few phone orders were placed during my stay. I ordered the Brooklyn sandwich which contained eggplant on a toasted bun. I enjoyed my meal while watching and listening to local cable news. I didn't experience fast food quickness so plan to spend a little time here.

The fries are steak fries, which I don't typically love but it worked well as a vehicle for the pastrami. The corned beef is a bit dry. We had some pierogies but these were superrrr oily. We also ordered a matzoh ball soup because I've never had it before. But the second I saw them microwave it in a plastic container, I knew I had made a mistake. It was basically just a matzoh ball in very salty chicken bouillon water. I'm sad that was my first matzoh ball soup experience but am not deterred from finding a real one elsewhere. Based on my previous visit and this one, it seems like you should just stick to a classic pastrami sandwich. It's big enough to share between two people. Next time, I'd like to dine in and eat it fresh. The sandwiches also come with a bunch of pickles, which was nice. Tip #1 - there is a parking lot but because there are so many stores and it's next to Bratek Deli, it's a nightmare. It did also happen to be Good Friday, so maybe that made it worse? I don't remember it being that bad the first time around. Tip #2 - I called ahead to place my order but still had to wait 15 minutes extra after the quoted time. They prioritize walk-in customers, so you might as well just order in store.

Seating is first-come, first-served, and guests are placed based on availability, which keeps things fair and efficient even during busy times. The tables for two are intimate and cozy, perfect for conversation, though they can become a bit tight when ordering several dishes at once. That said, the staff was attentive and checked in often enough to clear plates and make room, which made the experience much more comfortable. The dessert menu is separate, allowing guests to enjoy their meal at an unhurried pace before deciding on something sweet. Their beverage offerings are thoughtfully presented. Herbal tea options include green tea, chamomile, and English tea (Stash), and the tea is served in a container that provides two full servings. The cappuccino is well made and served with a sugar crystal stick, adding a distinct old-world charm that enhances the café's European feel. I regret not asking for an additional order of Turkish coffee so that's a regret . What we ordered: * Greek Salad - $18.50 * Cappuccino - $6.80 * Herbal Tea - $6.00 * Uštipci - $17.25 * Musaka - $22.95 * Šnicla (Cutlet Sandwich) - $20.75 * 2 Diet Cokes - $8.00 The musaka is a baked dish and does take about 25 minutes to prepare, as it's made fresh with baked eggs, seasoned beef, and sliced potatoes layered on top. The wait is well worth it, resulting in a hearty, comforting dish that tastes authentically homemade. The Šnicla (cutlet sandwich) arrived beautifully presented on a wooden board, adding a rustic, elevated touch that matched the restaurant's aesthetic. Mom felt it lacked in seasoning but she Didnt leave any crumbs . The Uštipci were a standout--served with feta and honey, generously portioned, and so plentiful that we happily took some home. We were too full for dessert this time, but it's absolutely on the list for a return visit. Due to winter weather, we couldn't explore the back of the restaurant, but even from the main dining area, the decor is undeniably charming and full of character. Overall, Cafe Bubamara offers authentic flavors, generous portions, attentive service, and a cozy, old-world atmosphere that makes it a place worth revisiting.

Pazza Luna is truly a hidden gem and easily one of my top 5 favorite restaurants! Every time I…read morebring someone new here, they end up loving it just as much as I do. Whenever I'm craving Italian, this is the first place that comes to mind. My go-to dish is the Chicken Florentine--it's absolutely delicious and the portions are huge, definitely worth every penny. This time, I decided to switch it up and tried the Chicken Cordon Bleu, and wow--it was fantastic! That sauce was everything. The service is always just as good as the food. Our waitress is so sweet and always remembers us, greeting us with the warmest smile every time we walk in. We love Pazza Luna's cozy vibe, great food, and welcoming staff. Can't recommend it enough!

Came here on a Friday afternoon with a friend. Found this place via Yelp and cross checked with…read moreGoogle to confirm this is a place to stop by. This review is based on the hot hero sandwiches. I got the Chicken Ala Vodka which is breaded chicken, melted mozzarella with their homemade vodka sauce which was alright. I split this with my friend. My friend got the Crusader which is sliced steak, potato, onion rings, peppers and American cheese which was also alright. I think they mashed the potatoes with the sliced steak, not overly mashed potato texture though. I think my expectations were high but it's still a solid neighborhood spot. The place gets busy and seems people order in advance for pick up. The amount of food and fair prices definitely makes it worthy to stop by but I will stick to the cold sub heroes next time. * Street parking * Indoor dining * Fair prices

I have been going to Taste of Italia maybe 35 years, wow I am old. Since the Broadway days. They…read morehave the absolute best Tuna. They probably know me as "The Tuna Guy". There is something that I felt like conveying. Mike is an awesome owner and an upstanding guy. This is a real great neighborhood place and parents absolutely should welcome their kids going there. I was online yesterday and one of the children was short a few bucks. Mike never even hesitated and proceeded with the girl's order. That to me is a standup guy. Parents should absolutely know that their kids are safe there and Mike will alwsys take care of them. I hope the parents know that and will continue to support this great establishment. I just wanted to pass along my praise. It makes me feel good that there are still some great people in the world and this is a great high quality place.
