This deli is located next-door to Barnes & Noble. As soon as I walked in, I could smell a hint of bleach in the air which told me that this place prioritizes cleanliness. They make good use of their limited space. Their walls are lined with different snacks and beverages, and the service at the counter is quick. I ordered a tuna sandwich with a few fixings and a bag of chips. The tuna, lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles were all fresh and delicious! I don't make a habit of ordering tuna from places, because I am usually disappointed and I then have to question the freshness of the fish. This deli is a win, and I would absolutely recommend them. read more

The staff ignores you until there is a line. Food is fine I guess. But I waited 20 minutes before anyone acknowledged I was there let alone take my order. Never experienced anything like it. read more

Stopped here for the first time for a Boar's Head Turkey Sandwich for the plane before heading to Newark Airport for a non-stop to Los Angeles. He asked me what kind of bread do I want and I asked him what bread does everyone like here? He said, "I don't know," and picked up a garbage bag filled with rolls. I asked him if they are fresh and soft and he said, 'I don't know." I asked him what other bread they have here and he shows me 2 loafs of store packaged sliced bread. I asked him if they are fresh? He said, "I don't know." I picked the multi-grain. $7.50 for a 2 pieces of Multi-Grain Bread, 1/3 lb of Turkey, and some lettuce and onions. I asked for spicy deli mustard and when I got on the plane--if he put it on, I could not tell the sandwich was so dry--I looked for mustard on the bread--probably needed a microscope to find it. He tried to up-sell me tomatoes for 75 cents more--and I would have done it except when I asked him if the tomatoes taste good today--he shrugged his shoulder and said, "I don't know." (Keep in mind you can't see them make the sandwich--it hidden and you can't see any of the adds to see what they look like--I hate that.) He asked me if I wanted anything else on the sandwich and I asked him what else do you have for it that is good? He said, "I don't know." If you are asking me if I would come back here again? My response: "I don't know." Overall the sandwich was good, just dry--it's good turkey, but a poor value. The entire flight back to Los Angeles I was saying to myself: "David, you should have just went to Subway and got a sandwich for the plane."--That's what I usually do. I visit this area regularly, don't reside here--but really, there must have been a time this place was great--but it's not a place I would come back to--I just don't see the reason. I have been to many a deli in my time to compare--my hat is off to them that they can keep the lights on like this. read more

Used to go here over 10 years ago when I worked in the area. Stopped by for a few sandwiches with my wife and kid (not crowded). My wife ordered her sandwich as my son and I were still debating what to get. Person helping us vanished behind the counter. Came back and gave us the price. I said, that there were more sandwiches we were going to order. She rolled her eyes and was clearly annoyed. With an attitude she took our order. I then remembered why I stopped coming here years ago...the attitude of the workers. The food is very good but not worth it. There are delis that actually want your business in the area. Won't be back. read more

Very disappointed! I have ordered from here for years. I bought sanwiches for New Years DAY, Hardly any meat on any of the sandwiches. Never remember that. I served these to quests because they requested them. They had them last year. 50.00 for sandwiches that looked terrible. Never again. I will no longer go to Steck's. I would go to Joes meat market in Bound brook or Sapores in Middlesex. s read more

I promised pics. Today, I got the exact same Corned Beef on Rye with Russian Dressing & Cole slaw. 2x a charm. So good! I highly recommend. read more

I have been coming here for decades and always look forward to an excellent sandwich if my travels took me that way. Today was a total disappointment. My sandwich had ONE slice of roast beef (barely noticed it) and looked like it was very sloppily made. Tons of lettuce, no meat, and everything was half way off the roll. What happened guys? You used to be so great! read more

I wish I could eat here every single day haha Great workers and high quality food regardless of the time of day you go in. Fast service to get you in and out since the place is quite small. Overall great place !! read more

We come here for the Sloppy Joe sandwich which is not the Sloppy Joe of my childhood (hamburger meat, onions, peppers and a tomato based barbecue sauce in a hamburger bun) but which is the more modern deli version of rye bread, corned beef, Swiss cheese, Russian dressing and coleslaw. It comes with two deli pickle slices. Delicious! There is a whole wall full of potato chips to choose from as a sandwich accompaniment. We also shared a piece of cake - choices of German chocolate, carrot cake or pumpkin. This is a very good take out deli at the Somerville Circle mall. read more

Well.. I'm all about what I can see.. and you can not see them making your sandwiches. For $31.00 2 drinks 2 small bags of chips.. sorry but so not worth it! Just highway robbery! read more

This is my favorite deli in the area. I started going to Steck's 9 years ago at the recommendation of several coworkers. Their Italian sub is amazing! But also try the Sloppy Joe (I recommend pastrami). Definitely check out their daily specials. With a bag of chips and drink, it's the perfect lunch. Shout out to their "yellow" (sour) pickles. They are addictive. read more

they use to give a great sandwich. recently they are cheating the meat and cheese. My last sub was all bread. really disappointing. will go to Annies read more

This place is the best sandwich shop in town! Located off the Somerville circle and with plenty of parking, this place is convenient for the average joe. The service is a little disorganized when trying to order but the food is delicious. Fairly priced but there is no seating available (you must take it to go). They have of call board for daily specials and I usually order from there. Great for lunch! read more

They have the best lunch meat sandwiches. They make them fresh and to order. Also, they are reliable.....no question if my order gets made right.....it always does. read more

I haven't been here in years ,, always on diets , then I became gluten intolerant. I was getting my nails done and was very hungry and went in and asked if they had gluten free bread. They did. I got a turkey and Swiss with lettuce. Tomato and mayo and mustard and pickles. My goodness it was perfect !!! They give you 5 times the amount of cold cuts than Jersey mikes !!! The ladies were super nice and it was wrapped really great , too. I will definitely be back, now !!! Thumbs up for having gluten free bread!!!!!! read more

The Food was sourced with fresh and premium quality ingredients. I ordered a sandwich from here and honestly idk what they put in that Mayo but it was SO GOOD WHY IS IT SO GOOD PLEASE SEND HELP. but yeah, it's straight forward. The ambience is nice lots of stuff to look at inside. It's the superior place to get a sandwich tbh. read more

Still the best place around to get a decent Reuben. (Honestly, I haven't tried anything else here.)

I've been going to Steck's since moving to the area a few years ago and it's one of my favorite delis for a quick and delicious sandwich. I was apprehensive at first reading some of the reviews but decided to give it a shot because it's so close to home. It's a small, unassuming deli that's purely for pick up and they have a ton of sandwiches and specials that aren't on the online menu. Yes, sometimes it can be challenging to order over the phone and it gets busy during the lunch rush, but their food is always good and I appreciate a place that keeps it consistent. I get a Turkey sloppy Joe (customized with pepper Turkey and Muenster cheese) and their rye bread is delicious. They make fresh pickles and serve on the side of the sandwich which is a great touch. The prices are decent too - $10 for a good sized sandwich and drink/chips. I order from here at least once every other week and would definitely recommend if you're looking for a quick spot to pick up. I wish they were on delivery apps and I'd probably order from them even more. read more

Had to get some lunch to go in our hotel room nearby. Saw the Yelp reviews and decided to do take-out from here. Yummy sandwiches and the potato salad was delicious! read more

I finally tried out this location and am happy that I did! I walked in during lunch time on a weekend and I was the only customer. I ordered 2 sandwiches, one of which is a sloppy joe. The guy took his time with prepping the sandwich but that was ok because I was able to peruse the items on the shelves and food in the refrigerated cases. The sandwiches were delicious and I think I found my go to for sloppy joes! Parking is right out front so you'll have no issue finding a spot. read more

This past week I went to visit one of the locations I manage in Raritan and one of our sales reps was nice enough to order me a sandwich from this deli. He knows I'm a vegetarian, so he told them to be creative and make me a great sandwich. Well they outdid themselves. They put avocado, fresh mozzarella, lettuce, tomato, mayo and this wonderful vinaigrette on a fresh and delicious hero bread. One of the best vegetarian heroes I've ever had. The sandwich was very generous and ingredients in portion size I tried not to eat the entire thing but I couldn't help myself! My coworkers order from here all the time and the next time I'm in town I'll make sure we do! read more

Come in to order , no customers in store, stand at counter for 10 minutes while employees buzz around, ask if they will take your order, they do t answer, so you walk out! Crazy read more

Ordered a Rubin with extra sourkraut when I got the Rubin there was very little kraut on it. It was soggy like as if the little that they did put on wasn't drained. I will not be going back. read more

Small place, fast friendly service. Cuban sandwich was decent, nothing special. Worth another visit, going to try one of their daily specials next time. read more

Steck's Delicatessen - Cuban sandwich - Delis Near Me - Bridgewater, New Jersey

Oh Stecks! You got it all down pack. This gem sits in the Somerset Circle Shopping Center, right next to Barnes and Noble. Steck's is a take out situation. I came in to order a turkey and Swiss cheese on sliced bread. Sandwich is delicious and not cheaply with the meat. The pickle is always fresh. Service was quick and always quick when whether there's a line or not. There's many drinks, chips, and snacks to pick from to accompany your sandwich. In addition Steck's has a cold bar that has macaroni salad, tuna, and some other options. They also sell deli cheese and meat by the pound. A bit price but produces a tasty sandwich. read more

Used to be clean and nice. Newer owners downhill slide looks run down now. Nickel and dime you extra for lettuce and tomato on a sub, 4% to use a credit card. More expensive than close by Wegmans, Jersey Mies, Quick Check. Drive on past. read more

Read some good reviews and met some locals inside who claimed that waiting in the long line was worth it. $13 for chips, iced team and a sammie seems expensive. The sandwich had American cheese and they used yellow American. Who puts yellow American on a sandwich. The honey mustard was meh and the amount of meat was disappointing. The lettuce was giant leafs of iceberg. If I wanted to gnaw through a salad I would have gotten a salad. The bagged chip selection was weak also. Nice people working there but if you want a good sammie go elsewhere. Even subway makes a better sub read more

While this is one the better sandwich places around this area, it does not compare to some of truly great delis in NJ. I recently had a roast beef sandwich on a roll, while my wife had a pastrami sandwich. Both were okay, with more than the usual amount of meat a lesser place would provide. Neither the roll my roast beef was on or the rye bread my wife's sandwich consisted of were all that great. The pickle slices they gave were fine. They do have a nice assortment of eclectic sodas to choose from. read more

In the past, this deli has been fantastic. It has definitely been my go to in the area. However, we have gone a few times since the pandemic started and each was worse than the last. First, they squeeze a line into the building. No social distancing. No floor markers. Nothing. When we went to pick up our food, there were 10 other people in line in the very small store. They didnt even make an attempt at safety measures. Then, my husband asked for a sloppy joe triple decker with both turkey and roast beef. He got a single sandwich with hardly any meat. That is NOT a sloppy joe. This time he got a sloppy joe again. He made sure he clearly said triple decker, and then asked if they were making it as a triple decker. They said yes, it's a triple decker with a full portion of roast beed and a full portion of Turkey. WRONG. He gets home and again it's a single decker with hardly any meat. Since he ordered at the store this time, I can only imagine that the deli workers dont know what a triple decker is, nor how to make a sloppy joe. We will likely not be back. Catered affair in Hillsborough is just as good and can follow simple directions. read more

Went based on reviews and was disappointed. Ordered a Sloppy Joe with Ham, Turkey & Swiss, It was embarrassing how little was on the sandwich. I put all the cold cuts on half the bread and it still was pretty sparse. On top, it was 8$ with tax, no chips like every other sandwich place. Pleasant people. read more

Love the Grinders,And the Roast beef sloppy joe on rye,Can't eat the sandwiches without a side of macaroni salad,I always stop after Golf,Highly Recommended read more

I don't get all the hype of this place. I've had a couple different sandwiches from here and they were just ok. I had a corned beef sloppy joe and it was good but not great. The Italian hoagie I wanted to like but there wasn't really anything special about. read more

I had the Reuben and, man, it was completely delicious. Mine was pastrami and just everything I wanted. For $6.50? Such a bargain! My only "beef" (pun intended) is that seating is in very short supply. 3 deuce high tables is all that's available. I can't wait to go back again, and again, and again. read more

Solid deli sandwich store that's been there for years. I had a corned beef with cole slaw. I've been before. I'll go again. I wouldn't call it exciting but it does what it does well. That says a lot. read more

Really good Reuben's and potato salad. But I ordered one of the daily specials and it was supposed to come with avocado on it but it didn't - they just put lettuce on it instead. read more

You'll wait and wait and wait and get skipped. Too many other great options around. I'll pass on Steck's.

Absolutely the best tuna fish sandwich I've ever had. It's a go to place for lunch. I get it at least twice a week either for Lunch or breakfast. Staff is very nice, they may seem a little cross but they are quick and efficient. I've had a few other sandwiches there... all absolutely delicious. read more

The sandwich was roast beef with cheese and mayonnaise on whole wheat. The sandwich was very fresh and tasty. It was piled high with delicious meat. The coffee was very enjoyable. read more

Normally when go into Steck's the sandwiches and the staff are excellent. I've told a lot of people to try them. Today I brought a friend there so she could see for herself. It took 30 mins to get two breakfast sandwiches. The women behind the counter kept mixing up the orders. I was told twice that my order was ready and then told - sorry, this isn't yours. By the time we got our sandwiches they were cold, rubbery and they forgot the salt, pepper and ketchup. read more
