Popped in to Sub Shack in Hackettstown for the first time today after being told by many people for…read moreyears now that I needed to check it out. Tiny little spot with barely enough room to think haha, but a huge menu and really friendly employees. Decided to go with "The Super" and "The Shack Special" The super is their version of an Italian. Got it dressed with LTO, oil and vinegar, and oregano. The roll was softer than I normally like for an Italian but it was very fresh and still held together nicely. I didn't eat half of this til just now (maybe 4 hours later) and it still wasn't a sloppy mess. The Shack Special was Roast beef, Turkey breast, Swiss, lettuce, tomato, and Russian dressing. These communists and their salad dressing...tastes good on everything. Again the meats were super fresh and the same roll for this one. I grabbed both to take a few bites for a video and I packaged this one up for my gf and I kept the Italian. These are both half sandwiches and they're bigger than most full size subs from anywhere. Cost for both of these total was around $16. No brainer here - Sub Shack - Didn't Suck!

We ordered over the phone and weren't told, and there's no clear signage when you walk in. You only find out when it's time to pay. In 2025, in New Jersey, that's a frustrating surprise--especially when you can also order through DoorDash. It just doesn't make sense. As for the food, we ordered a couple of Italian subs and a BLT with extra bacon. The Italians had soggy lettuce and maybe two slices of lunch meat--not what you'd expect from a deli. The BLT, despite asking for extra bacon, came with just two strips. Overall, everything was mediocre at best. I appreciate small businesses and want to see them thrive, but between the lack of communication and underwhelming food, it's hard to recommend without some improvements. We're back next week to finish a job and will try again, maybe they had they had the rookies in there today.

Cafe 57 knocked it out of the park today. The double pork roll breakfast sandwich was outstanding…read moreand puts the chain breakfast places to shame. The Taylor ham was stacked both above and below the eggs, with creamy melted cheese, salt, pepper, and ketchup on a fresh Kaiser roll. It was loaded and absolutely delicious. I also tried the Italian hero without the bread, made into a chopped salad piled high with all the meats, cheese, and toppings. It had all the flavor of a great Italian hoagie without missing the roll. The real bonus was the blueberry cobbler muffin. I saw on Facebook that they had just come out of the oven, and about an hour later I was heading to Cafe 57. It was fresh, moist, packed with blueberries, and every bit as good as it looked. Great food, generous portions, and the kind of quality and freshness you just don't get from the big chains. Highly recommended!

Yesterday was the first time the stars aligned. Walking in was a terrific feeling. Being brought back to a very happy place in my mind - where every town had a butcher, a baker, and you know the rest... Everyone working was fantastic. Welcoming, accommodating. The vibe of regulars in there jiving with the staff made me feel like I was home even though it was my maiden voyage. The meat and salad cases were two of the most impressive I have ever seen. I ordered a pastrami and Swiss on a roll with 1,000 Island, mustard and onion. I was drooling imaging the mountain I was promised by those in the know. The sandwich was delicious. But as you'll see in the photo it was actually kind-of-small. Maybe I didn't order correctly. The coleslaw and deli pickle were perhaps the best example of each I have ever had. I'm already planning my return with a cooler so I can fill it with steaks and sausages. This place is the real deal. Take away - worth the drive for the experience and meat case. And I need to lean what/how to order to get one or the giant sandwiches ppl talk about.
