Great food. But their owners are rude and condescending assholes. It like they're doing me a favor when I order food. I've been going there for over 30 years. No more. read more

An institution, what a sandwich shop/deli is supposed to be. In the days of Wawas and 7-11 it's great to know there are still places like this around. I will also say they make the best pork roll, egg and cheese sandwich on the shore if not the entire state. read more

Uncooked bacon and old lady at the register had a nasty attitude for no reason. Place is all hype. Expected way better

Avoid this place at all costs-unless you want workers coughing while not wearing a mask by your food. I have never seen someone (possibly the owner?) working in a food establishment have such a flagrant disregard for public health and safety during a global pandemic. While the older woman employee who the only employee there when I walked in and ordered had a mask on, when she was halfway through with making my sandwich, a guy walked in and behind the counter without a mask on. He then kindly quickly left (I assumed to get his forgotten mask) but came right back in and back behind the counter where he then proceeded to cough/clear his phlegmy throat without even covering his mouth. I let the lady know that I was canceling my order. He wanted to know why, and I explained to him. He at first pretended not to be able to hear me but then said something to the effect that he does what he wants. Well, I will let the Health Department know and they can decide if he has the right to do as he pleases. Oh, and while some yelp photos show them having Boars Head cold cuts, they do not-"they didn't go over well here". read more

Imagine posting on a platform designed to review FOOD and giving a restaurant 1 star because people were not wearing masks...I am giving them 5 stars because that pork roll egg and cheese was fantastic. I give all the Karen's and Darren's 1 star for trying to hurt a small business that is a staple in this community. read more

Last year, I would have given 5 stars. But, after going yesterday-- the first time since the pandemic-- the quality has slipped. And, I'm also kicking myself for not realizing as the folks behind the counter were making my order NONE OF THE STAFF WORE MASKS. It dawned on me as I was leaving, hoagies in hand. I'm angry at myself for not realizing it. The sandwiches themselves-- the bread was soggy by the time I ate it, a mere 10 minutes after it was made. I asked for an italian sub (#1 on their menu) but without the pepperoni. They left off the capacola too and I got a sandwich that was mostly ham-- a tiny bit of cheese & a tiny bit of salami. The rest was all black pepper (which I didn't ask for) and way too much lettuce. Last year, I ordered the same sandwich the same way & it was a thousand times better. I'm eyeballing the calendar & if I get sick because these guys think NOT WEARING A MASK WHILE YOU MAKE SOMEONE'S FOOD is a political statement? It would also be nice if you folks cleaned the ceiling above your food prep. The dust is probably pre-pandemic. I certainly don't remember the place being so dirty last time I was there. Definitely has gone downhill post COVID. read more

Went this morning to get their famous pork roll, egg and cheese sandwich, which was excellent. However, none of the employees, including the owner, were wearing masks, and several patrons were permitted to enter and wait for orders without masks; I was one of the few who kept wearing a mask. Additionally, three tables were occupied by patrons eating their sandwiches inside (again, not permitted). I know that it's difficult to operate in COVID-19 times, and I appreciate that small businesses are suffering, but there was absolutely no attempt to comply with existing operating requirements. The owner even joked several times about who was going to pay the fine for the lack of social distancing. I will not go back because of the lack of compliance with COVID-19 protocols. read more

I love this place!! It's great food and professional staff!! And frankly I'm happy to know they don't force masks! I think at this point we should all realize that covid has a 99.9% survival rate. I support any business who believes in choice! Humans should not be forced to wear masks forever! Bravo to the owner! Great place! read more

The food was good but given the Covid situation my mind was really blown. Maybe 2 of the employees had masks on and the owner was slicing meat and picking at food with his bare hands. I know some people don't care or believe it's a problem but come on.. read more

This place has been around for years, family owned. A friend picked up sandwiches the other day and I can tell you the meat on those sandwiches WAS NOT BOARS HEAD! No idea what happened to them. Very disappointed- not making that mistake again. read more

Most tremendous subs I've ever seen. One is enough for 2-3 people to share, and maybe have some leftover. Huge pork roll sandwiches...good quality cold cuts...and genuinely good owners. We called ahead on a weekend and they were closing, but were nice enough to stay open long enough for us to grab a sandwich. Stop by on your way to the beach, and no one in your group will be hungry! read more

Tried for the first time today with my daughter. I've been jonesing for a good pastrami sandwich for weeks and decided to give them a try. You know when you have been thinking about the way something tastes so good but then reality hits and you're disappointed... I was not disappointed! It not only was delicious it was huge! The person I ordered with talked me out of getting a whole one so I got a half. I'm glad I did, the 1/2 sandwich was huge, can't imagine what a whole one looks like. My daughter got pancakes, they were very good too. To quote "Daddy I'm in love with these, we have to come back tomorrow!" Overall I'm very excited I finally found a good deli near me. The prices are good too, not the crazy NYC type prices, very reasonable. read more

Typically have had good experiences and food. However last experience was terrible. Owner was rude as "he was very busy" and "you are going to have to hurry up this order" is not recommended phone etiquette. Won't be going there any longer after 30 years. No place for that in the customer service business in this day and age. Good luck. read more

Great porkroll egg n cheese I get a small and that is like anyone else's regular sandwich the subs are giant so I get a small one of them too cheesesteaks are great read more

I did a u-turn to stop here when I saw the sign claiming "best porkroll sandwiches on the Shore", and I was not disappointed. I ordered a pork roll egg and cheese on an onion roll with onions, salt, pepper, and ketchup, and it was served with the kind of gruff yet friendly attitude that anyone from jersey knows and loves. The sandwich itself was absolutely glorious, oozing with a huge serving of grilled taylor ham and perfectly fried eggs. I was going to save half of it for later but I couldn't put it down. They do charge 4% extra to pay with a card just so you know, but it's still a great price for one of the best sandwiches ive had in years. read more

INTENSE pork roll egg and cheese sandwiches. They are the mother lode of all PECs. There's enough porkroll on these bad boys to make multiple sandwiches ! I will def come back and try their subs nexts read more

Slater's Deli - Pork roll egg and cheese - Delis Near Me - Leonardo, New Jersey

Based on the good reviews I decided to try this breakfast. I Ordered a Taylor ham egg and cheese. There had to be about six slices of Taylor ham just on one side of my sandwich. I could barely find the egg under the tower of meat. The amount of meat is complete over kill and ended up in the garbage. I made sure to ask when I ordered for minimal meat so I wouldn't have to waste it but nope I received the meat mound. I was expecting the sandwich to be tasty based on the reviews but I was unimpressed. I will not be returning. read more

I have lived half my life in NJ and never tried pork roll, but was thinking about it. A recent Yelp write-up told me about Slater's, so I went straight to the top. Pork roll with egg and cheese on a fresh roll- what a breakfast sandwich should be. The serving is generous and it's fresh and delicious. The owners are very friendly, even to newbies, and the food was fine. I don't see how you can go wrong here. I definitely plan to come back. read more

This deli is AMAZING! All their food is prepared fresh everyday...and you can definitely taste that in every bite you take! Staff could not be more helpful and friendly...make this your GO TO SPOT...if not, already!! read more

There's not much that needs to be said that hasn't been said already. Mountainous sandwiches, top quality Boar's Head meats and cheeses, dynamite bread. I ordered a whole SS, made it half way through a half, I'll end up getting 4 meals out of this sucker. If you've got that deli craving, this is your spot. read more

This place reminds me of the old school delis. Only thing missing is the old guys playing chess in the back! They make great sandwiches and the owners and staff are tremendous. Chicken cutlet sandwich done right. Food is fresh, bread is on point, ya walk away feeling satisfied. read more

Best sandwich place around! I will give my business to this place for doing what's right and not wearing masks! Bravo! All the ppl who are writing bad reviews bc of mask wearing should stay home and let the rest of the world live life Unafraid! read more

Great Italian sub!

This place has been around for a very long time. Everything is one to two dollars more then other sub shops but you are paying for quality stuff. Everything from their breakfast sandwiches to subs is overstuffed with meat. These things are massive and well worth the cost. Expect to pay about 9 bucks for a whole sub and 5 bucks for a breakfast sandwich. Not the prettiest of shops but it serves its purpose. If your going fishing on a party boat in the highlands these subs are perfect to bring along. read more

This deli never disappoints! Huge ass sandwiches, meats piled on high. Quality food, great prices. read more

Slater's Deli - Ate the other half, pork roll is always stacked high with boars head meat and cheese. Delicious! - Delis Near Me - Leonardo, New Jersey

Wow! We had the supply special sandwich and a side of the best cole slaw I've ever had. Sandwich was huge and fantastic! Definitely ordering from here again! read more

My first experience with Slater's was in 2005. After moving to New Jersey, this place became my number one spot for sandwiches. They became available on GrubHub, and began delivering. I knew I wouldn't be home in time to accept delivery, so I requested the package be left at the door. Upon arrival, there was no delivery. When calling, they confirmed delivery. My guess is someone in neighborhood probably saw delivery and took it. Without challenge or delay, they redid the order and redelivered. Ralph was fantastic. The whole crew over there is fantastic. I'm from NYC, and this place is the closest I've see yet to a NYC deli: no no nonsense, home style feel, great bread, and....."BOAR'S HEAD" cold cuts! Great place! Thank you Slater's! . read more

Tastiest most convenient sandwich stop between the parkway and sandy hook. Call ahead is available so give a ring while you are on the way and your sandwich will be ready by the time you get there. I had the SS which was Ham, cappacola, pepperoni, salami, and provolone. Since I was headed to the beach I just got lettuce, tomatoes and onions. When I told the guy at the counter I was headed to the beach he offered me oil and vinegar on the side which I graciously declined. Now while this sandwich sounds amazing it was a majority of ham With a slice or 2 of the other stuff. Their bread on the other hand is phenomenal. Real deal crusty Italian hero roll with seeds. The bread alone is reason enough to come back and ignore the ham-splosion that was inside my sandwich. The only thing that I didn't like was the fact that there are no prices listed on the menu board. If you pick up the paper menu the prices are listed but with a board in front of you, one would expect prices listed. read more

Been going here for a long time and it dawned on me that I hadn't written a review. Where do I start? The prices are great, the portions are amazing, and the best--the food is the best in class. I usually order their pork roll (which is massive), but this time I ordered their Reuben. Best Reuben I have ever had, hands down. Mine was corned beef; the beef was grilled with the sauerkraut, making this wonderful browning. Then the beef and sauerkraut had cheese melted, put into the rye and put back on to the grill. 1000 island dressing mixed throughout, rye overflowing with the beef, falling off the sides, making a great appetizer for the rest of the massive sandwich. read more

I went there this weekend and it took an hour to make six sandwiches. When we all got to the beach we realized that half of the sandwiches were wrong. I will never go there again. read more

Slaters and their legendary sliders is a staple of the Bayshore community. You'll pay more for a sandwich, but you will also get more. Friendly atmosphere and the owners will recognize you if you are in there on a semi regular basis. read more

I've ordered from Slater's Deli a handful of times. Breakfast and Lunch. Service is always prompt and friendly on the phone and in the store. Their sandwiches are phenomenal. Pork roll, egg & cheese, or better known as a 'Slater on a Bagel' is out of this world. Six thick slices of pork roll. Keep up the good work Slater's ! read more

Excellent food. Worth every penny. Just had there cheese fries, with a roast beef, provolone hero with a pickle. The Italian bread was fresh with just the right amount Of crunch. The cold cuts were super fresh And tasty. I finally found a great place to eat Some comfort food. I can't wait to go back. Thank you guys for your delicious food. read more

Went here to try the award winning Pork Roll, Egg and Cheese. Was surprised that it was like $7/8+ for a breakfast sandwich.... until I saw the size of it!! HUGE! Totally worth the money. If you're going here for the PREC, you won't be let down. read more

Was recommended by a local & did not disappoint. They are known for their subs & they were amazing. Best meal stop for the beach. The staff could not be more friendly & helpful. read more

Bring your appetite when ordering from Slaters. We have learned to request "a small amount" of meat when ordering - even with that you still receive an outstanding sandwich. Good for breakfast and lunch, catering also good. Call your order in tends to get crowded especially during summer months. Try the Supply sandwich - triple decker ham cheese roast beef on rye with cole slaw and Russian - easily enough for two people. read more

Mixed bag. If you get the head guy "Al" to prepare your order he'll get it right. Anybody else it's probably best to write it down on a piece of paper so they stay focused on what you want. The prices here are a little higher but you do get a lot on your sandwich. While you wait you'll have to put up with fox news on the tv but at least it's in the rear so I stay up front (I don't need any propaganda as a side order). When you get your order open the bag and check to see if you got what asked for just to be sure. Slater's does take credit cards but they add an extra charge for that service. read more

Call with 20 minutes before closing and guy won't take my order. It takes minutes to prepare and I'll be there in less then that bud. Very rude on the phone too. read more

Great deli. Good employees and everyone is very friendly. Tons of meat and love in subs. Only comments is the sub bread could be better. Its fair. The chicken salad is not good. Its like a spread and not chunky. read more

Best sandwich shoppe in the area. Everything from the breakfast sandwiches to the super sub is jam packed and delicious. Would highly recommend to anyone local or on their way to the beach. read more
