I have heard that they have great food and in particular, the sandwiches. We decided to order and we're glad we did! I opted for the Pastrami Cuban and it was perfect - The perfect balance of meat and cheese on the sandwich. Toasty and Crunchy, yet soft bread. Meat that was fresh and "clean" (nothing weird) IYKYK.... We also got the zucchini sticks and it's a deterrent that apps are about the same price as the sandwiches BUT it was worth it. It was a full box of sticks freshly made and plenty to eat the next day. We will definitely order again! read more

The staff interact well with delivery services, they're knowledgeable about the menu choices and very polite. read more

Panini Bistro - Pork roll, egg and cheese on a brioche roll. It doesn't get more Jersey than that. - Salad Near Me - Spotswood, New Jersey

I have visited Panini Bistro a few times now and it is never nothing short of amazing. They craft the BEST paninis in the area - hands down. I ordered a Chicken Caprese Panini - chicken cutlet, tomato, fresh mozz, EVOO, balsamic glaze, and pesto - and it was absolutely to die for. The service is always so great. They are always so friendly and helpful. The only thing that I wish they had is a sit down area to eat inside, but it is so worth it for take-out only. If you love paninis (who doesn't) this place is a must-visit! They have dozens of options to choose from as well as a huge variety menu. read more

Ridiculous wait time. Ordered via DoorDash and waited OVER an hour and a half for a single panini. 10 different dashers reassigned the order, and god only knows what they encountered trying to pick it up. Sandwich was cold when it got here. Huge waste. Never again. read more

I am so excited to have this place as an option for regular delivery or catering delivery in my area! Found this gem through EZCater and I'm so glad that I did. Was able to place a decent sized order about 6 hours before it was needed (another caterer declined due to the time crunch), so I was relieved that not only were they able to accommodate the order, but it came a bit early! Yes, they were missing a couple of items, but they were super gracious and apologetic about it. Everything was presented very well, hot, and most importantly, delicious. Perfectly seasoned and cooked garlic parmesan wings, LOVE the Caesar dressing for the salad--I was using it on my sandwiches it was so good, and of course, the paninis were wonderful, fresh.. and tasty. Got a mix of the turkey and brie that came with apple and honey mustard... philly cheesesteak that was delicious with peppers and onions, and the Italian chicken with perfect chicken cutlets, mozzarella, red peppers, and sweet balsamic glaze to balance it out. Thank you for the menus and the coupons.. from the looks of this awesome menu, they have a little bit of something for everyone's tastes, and we are looking forward to trying again soon! read more

Friendly staff, food was very good. Owner gave me a discount once he saw I was a nurse. Didn't expect one, but so nice to see the appreciation. read more

Great and filling chicken avocado wrap, perfect garden salad, amazing sweet potato fries, and an amazing italian chicken panini! My friend and I stopped by after 2 hours of afternoon tennis and we were so happy with lunch afterwards! Not much room to sit inside, there are 2 picnic benches outside though! The service was fast, and the staff was pretty chill. Thank you! read more

The food and service is excellent in both spotswood and Matawan locations. The bread is always fresh and sandwiches are delicious.

Amazing and delicious! I must try if you're in the area. They also have a selection of gourmet cookies, croissants muffins. Staff is very friendly. read more

Wow is all I could say after my first bite. These paninis are delicious and freshly made. We ordered delivery and were quickly brought my food which was still surprisingly warm! Our delivery person was super friendly and even met us inside the station to bring us food. While I haven't had the opportunity to go in person to gauge the atmosphere, I can only imagine that it's an even greater experience. Definitely cannot wait to go back again. read more

This is extremely small spot grab and go. To be honest I am not a fan of panini sandwiches. But decided to go because my hubby recommended it. So, I decided to give it a try. First time I really enjoyed my panini P5 without sweet peppers. The Philly steak was so good. The owner was there and he was so nice and patient since I was extremely indecisive. I went to the location near Spotswood but he does have a bigger location with sitting. Also he has different types of bread and cold and hot sandwiches not only panini and he sells pastries. Try the wings I tried one and it was Delicious. I highly recommend this place. It's a must try !!! Wish you many blessings!! support family owned businesses read more

Haven't been here in a long time and will definitely not be back. I can't believe the prices. We obviously had an old menu, which I didn't think was that old. Ordered 3 paninis, Brussels sprouts, disco fries and tomato basil soup and it came to $67. For me that's outrageous. I again had the turkey and Brie panini and it had two slices of Brie, really? I don't mind spending money on food, the food was good. Nothing spectacular. But I couldn't afford to eat here with a family of three. The original menu we had, which was sometime around Covid was about $9 for a panini and now they are about $13. Didn't think the service was all that friendly. So with all of that being said, we won't be back read more

Visited panini bistro in Fanwood, me and family went for the wings fries and paninis and have to say the food was a o fantastic!! Fresh bread tasty wings!! Will be going again soon this is my go to spot from now on!! Sal the owner very nice guy makes you feel at home. Great food great service great prices as well as very comfortable and friendly atmosphere read more

I hit a Homer today at this place. I live just a couple of miles away, and I never knew of this place. Today I decided to go and have a sub sandwich. I have personal favorites, and I believe this spot rivals or beats the places I've gone too. I ordered the Classic Italian sub. I substituted the bread for baguette. What a great call. This is a must and this place has a great sub sandwich. The lines should be out the door. Go! read more

Food is still very good. Service is friendly and polite. Facility is clean and healthy. Orders are always ready quickly, when promised, and correct. Some reviewers don't seem to understand that a Panini is not going to appear overstuffed like a cold deli sandwich on a roll. They are PRESSED. The ingredients are all there, as listed in the menu, but the sandwich is heated and pressed to the point it looks skinny. I just ordered a P25 Prosciutto and Mozz, Mrs. I had the P5 Philly Cheese Steak. Lots of quality meat! We both were very satisfied with the content, quality, and quantity of ingredients. And the onion rings are excellent. The 3.75% credit card (issue on my previous review) charge is gone. I hope the people who get extremely upset when they see this charge understand that 1) it is a legitimate cost to the business, that has to be recovered, and 2) if it isn't being added to the bill at the end, it's certainly built into the menu cost of the items. Offering it as an "add-on" to the bill allows those who use cash to not pay a credit card fee. But most people apparently don't understand. My solution is to use a credit card that has a 3% "reward" on dining. read more

I went here with my mom and my dad, and we wound up spending $75. The prices are ridiculously expensive and the food is not worth it at all. I got the eggplant sub and it had mozzarella cheese and a balsamic vinegar on it, and it tasted like nothing. There was literally no flavor except for the tiny bit of vinegar they put on it. I also got a side of the roasted brussels sprouts which were delicious but also expensive! read more

Overall pretty decent Panini Shop. The sandwich combinations are pretty expansive and the overall portion is pretty good for the cost. I want to reserve judgement of overall quality due to Only being able to do delivery or takeout, but I will definitely be back once COVID is over to try everything fresh. I just wish their online ordering platform had a few more customization options or room for comments on the items. Will probably try this place again once I can eat everything in person read more

Let's just start with nice atmosphere. They took a little pizza shack and turned it into a beautiful looking bakery and deli (as i would describe it). All the workers are courteous, kind, and friendly. You can tell everyone is customer first. One time I forgot a coupon from a flyer and one of the owners said don't worry about it and gave me the discount and told me to use the coupon the next time. (Great business accumen) I have been here 4 times, 3 in person and once for delivery, every time the food has been fresh and delicious. There belly buster breakfast sandwich is out of this world loaded with flavor and the way all the contents of the sandwich are layered is a work of art. See pictures below, any where else the contents of the sandwich would be falling all over the place and sloppy, but this place takes the time to do it right! In closing its very nice to have a new place that is close to home that has so many options to choose from, so keep doing what your doing! We will be back again and again. read more

Panini bistro. No words. Best subs in the area. We moved to the area last year and received a ton of food menus and tried out different options but this by far is our favorite take out spot. They have anything to satisfy your cravings and use there own bread. French fries are always crispy, wraps are filling, the subs are excellent and they use boars head meats. Salads are very large enough; to feed 2 to 3 people and the Panini's are awesome. There is free delivery if you're local and they just open up their second location in Matawan. Never disappointing with this place so glad it's so close by. They also have a loyalty program where if you earn 50 points you get about five dollars off of your next order and it's a really great savings. Favorite spot to take out food from in the area. read more

Best Panini I ever got from any place. The deliveries on time and perfect. The food is one of a kind excellent. I never had a bad meal here at all. Disco fries or top notch as well as other side dishes. Perfect all over servic. As far as the building goes, it's very small. There's only one or two tables to eat at. But nevertheless very clean inside read more

I normally do not write reviews good or bad I just don't......however I felt the need to do so in this case. I placed an order here a few days ago.....medium size four people.. the person on the phone was very courteous and warned they were busy and delivery would be about 45 minutes.. long story short it wasn't and went to the wrong address..I was assured it was still hot and fresh and they would be right there.. they were and they handled it perfectly from a customer service perspective.. mistakes happen what's important is how you respond to those mistakes.. Refreshing to deal with a business that truly cares about its customers and its reputation. Support local business and give THIS PLACE your support!!! I will definitely be ordering from here again! read more

BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE OF MY LIFE! I tried placing an order for pickup at the Matawan location not realizing it is not open yet. I did not realize that the website redirected me to the Spotswood location and when I arrived for pickup in Matawan and noticed it was closed, I gave them a call. They were extremely understanding and offered to meet me at this location with my food. The owner Paul drove over 20 minutes to deliver my order. Upon arrival he threw in a free loaf of bread and refused to take the tip. What's even better is that the food was still hot when we got home! The artichoke francaise appetizer, Italian veggie panini and chicken pesto panini were all delicious! I will definitely be ordering from here again in the future. The kindness of the owner and willingness to go the extra step were much appreciated! You guys rock! read more

Panini Bistro - Salad Near Me - Spotswood, New Jersey

My husband and I order from here about once a week (sometimes twice) so it goes without saying we love Panini Bistro. We typically order wings, wraps, paninis and fries but the occasional burger and cheesesteak too. Everything we've had has been fantastic. The bread is fresh and delicious and they also have truffle fries! You can tell they care about their take-out packaging. Everything arrives neatly packed and labeled, and we've never received a wrong order. The attention to detail is refreshing as we've had wrong orders in the past from other restaurants in the area. Delivery has also been quick and on time. I'd love to try more on the menu but I'm obsessed with their eggplant panini and mango habanero wings that it is hard to pick something else! I would highly recommend checking this place out, you can tell they care about putting out a quality product for their customers! read more

Easy 5 stars. You get a lot of QUALITY food for the money. I don't usually post reviews, but felt it necessary. I got a C1 Italian and a side of fries. Total less than $11 and I could not finish it all. The sub was loaded up with meat and very flavorful. The fries are second to none. Make sure you get the fries. This is definitely a new go-to lunch joint for me. read more

This place is super close to me, and the menu looked awesome, so I really wanted to love it. Unfortunately, it just missed too many times. Bacon, egg and cheese was only offered on a plain bagel on the website, and I'm an everything bagel guy. The quality of the bacon was poor, and the bagel was super dense. This may be the only BEC I didn't finish in my entire life. I did the prosciutto with broccoli rabe and goat cheese panini. The broccoli rabe was cooked properly, and even though there was a good amount of proscuitto in the sandwich, it just wasn't salty enough. The bread didn't get enough of a toast from the panini press, which was a bummer, so the whole sandwich was just kinda "meh." I had a bite of my wife's brie, turkey, apple sandwich, which I had high hopes for because it is similar to a sandwich called the babe from A&S pork store. Not enough honey mustard, and same issue with the bread. We tried the lobster bisque and broccoli cheese soup. Lobster bisque was actually pretty ok- more sweet cream flavor and a subtle lobster flavor, with no lobster chunks, but pretty good. Broccoli cheese is not like panera, it is thick with broccoli and you have to chew every bite. I didn't love it, as I prefer the panera style, but it was edible. The loaf of bread we bought was stale in 1 day. Wife got a chocolate chip muffin that only had chips on the top, none in the muffin. That said, the muffin was still pretty good. She also got me a sfogliatelle that was awesome- best thing we ordered. At the end of the day, I'm just not sure what I would go back here for. It's main item are paninis I don't want. A bakery is going to give me more options for pastries, and panera has better soup and bread. Maybe I'll try the burger and cooked food, but my guess is that is also not these guys speciality. read more

I know this place is super small with no indoor dining but the food is wonderful! The perfect to-go order place. You can "make your own" for many of the options, which allows me to make my perfect vegetarian wrap or panini without feeling annoying and asking to remove an item and add another. The Cajun fries are also an absolute must! The location in Matawan is great as well. read more

We got the catering options for a small group of 10 people and it was amazing. The paninis were delicious and everyone enjoyed the variety. Eggplant panini is a must try. read more

Delicious panini and fries! Employees are friendly. Tiny side lot for parking but plenty of additional parking across the street.

I received a gift card for Panini Bistro in Spotswood. Disappointment is an understatement. Maybe I just got them on a bad night. Ordered a roast beef with Au Jus. The side of the dipping sauce literally tasted like dishwater. Incredibly bad. And, it came ice cold as though it were previously frozen. The roast beef was sparse to say the least. A breaded chicken sandwich was tough to chew. I am a small business owner so I do not like to write critical reviews of other small businesses unless I feel they truly deserve them. Panini Bistro truly deserves it. Terrible. Other sandwiches were average to poor. read more

The prior business at this location was a pizza place where the owner felt the pizza was awesome/best around. Now you have a Panini place there - where the owner thinks this is the best place around for baked goods/sandwiches/burgers/paninis........ Food was overpriced, mostly bread on the panini - other ingredients were slim to none - not a ton of taste. Burger was extremely blah. All was hot and seemed fresh - just not tasty and barely anything in between the bread. Outside is very buggy and no wait service. Giving 3 stars (rather than less) as the owner was nice, staff was super nice, place was clean and food was hot. Can't wait to see what business pops up here next as they best type of food! read more

I ordered a gluten free wrap platter for a party , it was a pleasure from start to finish. I placed the order in person and picked it up as soon as Panini Bistro opened on a Saturday morning. It was freshly prepared, ready when I arrived and absolutely delicious. My guests were raving about the variety and quality! Great job! read more

So I'm always looking for a good sandwich shop or a good place to eat in general. Sometimes you have to sift through a lot to find a real gem. This place is one of them. I've tried Paninis at other places and can't compare to Panini bistro. The bread they use is phenomenal and I think that makes any sandwich. Customer service is exceptional which is rare in today's world. I always read other reviews and I find it amusing how people say 'it's a little bit pricey'. I don't think these individuals know what it takes to run a business especially A restaurant and after Covid. If they did they would understand margins. I'm a true believer in paying a fair price and nothing cheap is good and nothing good is cheap. The menu is priced right and the food is phenomenal. Do yourself a favor and give this place a try. You'll be glad you did. read more

Fool's gold! The quality of their chicken is very low. I want to like this place but I can't. The food sucks! The chicken panini I got was atrocious. The meat was horrible. Hole in the wall spot with trashy food. I heard folks in spotswood think this place is great. They must be smoking peyote. read more
