Hobby's is a Newark institution, and for good reason, as it offers some of the best deli meats and…read morelunch sandwiches in the area. Beyond the food, it's family-owned, and the family happens to be some of the kindest people you'll find. It's a rare day where one of them doesn't stop by the table to ask how your day is going, or how the meal went. As for the meal itself, you'll be greeted by a heaping bucket of various pickles on the table. The menu is enormous, with all the typical hot and cold sandwiches you'd expect from a great deli. Finish off the meal with a tasty cookie or dessert - i love both the black and whites or the linzer tarts.

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.

This is like I one stop shop, cakes, sandwiches, smoothies, fruits, chips, juices, etc. OMAR was awesome, answered all my questions. I love a good deli with great service. They have a seating area in the rear of the deli. I got a good ole chopped cheese and it didn't disappoint! Also, got me a slice of a Dubai chocolate cake: moist and yummy!!! The cool thing here they give you a mini buzzer when you order!!

Okayyyy TikTok, you got me with this one!…read more I came across a review of Big Rocs Deli on TikTok, and since it's right near my job, I figured, "Why not? Let me go see what the hype is about." Well... I'm VERY glad I did! I ordered the quarter beef pastrami with coleslaw, house sauce, and spicy mustard, and BABYYYY... that sandwich was GOOD! The pastrami was tender, flavorful, and NOT overly salty. The coleslaw was tasty, the bread was soft, and the house sauce with the spicy mustard? That combination was everything! My only regret is that I ordered a quarter because I absolutely should've gotten a half or honestly, a FULL sandwich! I was sitting there wishing I had more. For my first time trying Big Rocs Deli, they definitely made an impression. I will 100% be back to try more, and I'm already thinking about what I'm ordering next! If you're in the area and love a good pastrami sandwich, put Big Rocs Deli on your list. This one did NOT disappoint!

I have to try some of the other things they have to offer next time. It was nice to see it wasn't to far from me and in my old neighborhood. The service was good and helpful. The prices were good and average for these types of sandwiches.

Pretty good! We've been meaning to try this spot and I'm so glad I finally was able to order ahead…read moreand grab to go. I must say parking sucks- there is a lot right next to, but there was a dark skinned man sitting in the lot basically patrolling. He told me I can't park there after I said I was running into deli to quickly pick up.. I found this a major turnoff. I'm 9 months pregnant might I add and the deli is basically on a narrow steep road with minimal spots. Not ideal. I also wouldn't consider the Area extremely safe so I didn't want to park too far away. I ended up just parking illegally and running in. I ordered (a whole) Favorite Joe, fries and macaroni salad. Everything tasted fresh once I got home and was good! I wouldn't say it's better or worse than Millburn deli - I can appreciate both places having a quality sloppy Joe!! If you're in the area, I would recommend you stop in!!

He said onion, tomato & cucumber I said that's fine. I realized my order was wrong after I left the store (he added cheese to the salad which I never asked for). Secondly, the fish sandwich tasted HORRIBLE, it was tasteless. Thirdly, I called to speak to the manager, but the same guy who was at the register said no manager was in & asked what was the call about. I told him once I spoke to the manager I would discuss it with him/her. He then hung up on me. Bad food & zero customer service.
