    a man working in a sub shop
    Gerald S.

    Ray's Sub Shop on Pennington Road in Ewing, NJ mainly serves the college crowd from the College of New Jersey up the street from there. It is a small store with six tables and a substantial menu of sandwiches, wraps, subs, burgers, etc. There are several lunch specials available daily which make for an economical meal. They use Dietz & Watson delicatessen smoked meats and cheeses, and pretty good hoagie rolls. My honey turkey and swiss submarine was large and tasty, with plenty of meat, cheese, lettuce and tomato. I nixed the onions. I couldn't finish it. No complaints. With a bottle of Stewart's, it came to about $8. Good price. The only downside happened when I went to the cashier in the rear of the store, and looked over at the small grill used to prepare the hot sandwiches and burgers. It was very dirty, and actually left an unpleasant odor in that part of the joint. I would not be ordering anything that required time on that hot iron. Too, the sole garbage container was overfull when I tried to put my trash in it. Someone should be watching for that and replace the trash bags before this happens. More attention to detail would go a long way. 2.5 Stars, because cleanliness is important.

    I tried Ray's for the first time a few weeks ago and was impressed. I'm typically not a huge sub person, but their Italian was GREAT! Quality meats and cheese and fresh ingredients, plus they are extremely well priced. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 is because is takes way too long for service! I waited 15 minutes to order with no one in the store ahead of me, although, the staff are very friendly for locals. I'll definitely be returning, but this time I'll call ahead or just use the delivery service. The subs are too good to not keep going back. UPDATE This time when I ordered lunch, I ordered it at 10am for delivery at 12 with specific instructions for the address. I did receive a call at noon from an office on our campus to say they dropped it off and just walked away. Between this issue and the molded rice pudding we received, I just don't feel like the Italian (which is still great) is great enough to make up for the rest of the service and lack of quality and the reason why I've change my review.

    My coworker hadn't been in there for a long time but she recalled the sandwiches and subs being excellent. Apparently she had noticed the change of workers there. She seemed to think the place was taken over by some new folks. We were the first inside and she placed her order round 1030-11am It took 20 minutes before she had to ask where her sandwiches were. They were sitting on the counter and no one said anything to us. They got busy when a hand full of other patrons came in at the time the sandwiches SHOULD have been done. All I can say is that if it takes that long to make sandwich, you have some serious issues. She originally ordered something they said they were out of. What the....so how you going to be out of something on a Monday? That's when you get fully stocked in most places. What a bummer because the hanging wall menu looked good. Just not worth it plus my coworker wasn't impressed like she used to be about the taste. It will be a strong loss of business before it even begins since the workers in the area are increasing by several with not only my group but the airline folks etc. I won't recommend. The place looked kind of dirty too. First impression was not good.

    Ray's has pretty good sandwiches. They best in my opinion is the steak on garlic. The prices a fair and is a real sandwich shop, not like the more mainstream chains. The belly busters are really enough for a small family, but worth the challenge. It's worth a try if you are in the area. Nothing fancy about the regular hoagies, just made well.

    Review for Meatheadz - Lawrence Township, NJ…read more After hearing a NJ Transit conductor rave about Meatheadz, I finally decided to check it out--and I'm glad I did. This place absolutely lives up to the hype. I went with the Plain cheesesteak with fried onions and pepper jack cheese on a seeded bun, along with an order of Meatheadz loaded fries. Let me just say, that cheesesteak was a monster. Fresh, perfectly cooked, and swimming in melty cheese--it's easily the best cheesesteak I've had outside of Philly. The portion was so generous I could barely finish it, and for anyone arriving hungry, you definitely won't leave that way. The loaded fries looked fantastic too, but I had to box them up for later (that's how filling the sandwich was). The prices were moderate and fair for what you get, and while the place was busy, the energy felt lively rather than chaotic. All in all, Meatheadz is absolutely worth the trip if you're craving an authentic cheesesteak experience. Rating: 4.25 out of 5

    My own experiences here tended to be in the 3.5 or higher range but I feel confident that rounding…read moreup to 4 is warranted. First of all, it is the closest takeout restaurant to the Civil courthouse( also known as the place where potential jurors come to check in and wait to be called) I love that they share a small storefront with a florist, but it does make for tight quarters, esp during the ordering and waiting process. And the customer service was top notch. My first visit was for a lunch order. It was difficult trying to read the specials of the day menu, let alone the standard menu. This was due to timing, several people were ordering and or waiting. Once chicken quesadillas caught my eye I stopped reading. My selection came out fairly quickly and was packaged with small containers of salsa Fresca and sour cream. But I'm pretty sure menu read that some type of salad was also included, this was left out. They were pretty good too, well seasoned pulled chicken and cheese, the flour tortillas were perfectly grilled and stayed that way even in the package. It was a nice serving and I would have really enjoyed had it come with a fresh and simple salad. I would order again as well. My next two visits were just for a pick me up bakery item. The pumpkin muffin was excellent. The chocolate chip one was not very good. Not enough chips and a dry texture. But during each trip the owner was right up front and being helpful and friendly to all. I feel that this spirit does go into the food that is prepared and served here. Good spot for locals, workers and even the confused juror.

    Lexi Lu's Café is a strange setup…read more Up front it is a well designed, attractive take out shop. Walk past their kitchen and it is Amoroso's Flower Shop, where you can still buy a bouquet of roses for your anniversary. Love the adaptive reuse of this old storefront on S. Broad Street, Trenton; right across from the very old courthouse. It is hard to find driving by, and there are seldom parking spaces within the surrounding area. But, if you work or live in the neighborhood, or go to the new civil or criminal courts, you can walk over and pick up soup, sandwich, breakfast muffin, etc., on your way to the office. It closes at 2:00 pm. Service is exemplary given how small the space is. The two friendlies who helped me out were attractive and efficient. One made up my grilled chicken chipotle wrap, while the other provided the history of the business and worked the register. Both were happy to pose for photos when I pulled out my Yelp screen after ordering. You can see the results. The lunch was very good. Fresh, quality ingredients and TLC. Plenty of stuffing for a large wrap. It was enough for two meals. @ $8.50, it was a spectacular deal. Too bad there is no place to sit, because the room is comfy in a cramped way, and it would be nice to absorb more atmosphere from the winsome workers.

    I'm a strange dude, I'll be the first to admit to that. I've never been one to like anything that…read moredraws attention from the masses. I never watched Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones because every last loser on earth was all about it. The Beatles fucking suck and Bruce Springsteen can go shit in his hat. Pumpkin spice is for pumpkin pie and that's it, no matter what these dizzy suburban women say. So the decision to visit Johnny Longhots today was based entirely on poor reviews. The guy who ordered a sandwich to the hospital and found a cheesesteak to be "greasy" deserves to contract MRSA during his stay. The dope who complained his fries were soggy ordered his shit off Door Dash. He's lucky the driver didn't eat all of his fries. The folks who called out the teenagers who are getting their first experience working can all get bent. You weren't perfect when you had your first job. Don't forget people like you willingly locked kids in their homes during covid. It's no wonder some of them struggle with social skills and working under pressure. Have a little grace, then eat a bag of dicks for not being patient to them. Don't get me started on that dipshit from Brooklyn. That person who rated the place a one for the soda? I already know who you vote for. Onto the food - the menu is huge. There are a ton of choices with something for just about everyone. There's even gluten free options for those fucking people. There were four or five sandwiches in the running, but it was the Gritty Cheesesteak that ultimately won out on my first visit. And that's a strange decision for me because the Flyers stink and their fans are even worse. They're the worst organization in hockey. Maybe I just wanted fries on my sandwich. Yea - that's it. So the Gritty is a good amount of beef, fries tossed in Old Bay and topped with white cheddar cheese sauce atop a seeded roll. I added fried onions. The sandwich scores higher than the Flyers. I was a fan of the seeded roll which was super fresh. The cheese sauce was tasty and complemented the fries really well. They were super crispy, well seasoned and plentiful. The beef wasn't the best I've ever had, but it was tender and cooked well. All-in-all a good sandwich. The gals up front were attentive and friendly. They took my order quickly. Hats off to the kitchen for getting my food out promptly among the online orders. The place was pretty clean and had a ton of Philly Sports pics on the wall. The music on the radio was some throwback stuff - thank God it wasn't any of that mumble rap shit most kids play these days. Johnny's has a bunch of lunch specials that look worthwhile and a decent value. Locally owned spot worth giving your business to. It's a 4-star review from me that gets bumped to a 5 to spite the mopes who gave it a one.

I kept trying to love this place . But I think tonight is the last time I'll order from here . Order should have been ready at 6:25 it wasn't . Which understandable could have been a busy night . So went to get some pickles it was empty ask was told they would be right out . Food wasn't done till 7 . So 35 minutes late which I was still fine with it . Never got the pickles . What killed it was getting home with missing a sandwich and a side . And having to go all the way back wasting more of my time and gas . Kinda sucks since they are the only one in the area with a decent steak sandwich
