Ted's North Delicatessen 314 Spring Valley Rd. Paramus, NJ 07652 The Godfather French Fries This locally owned deli is very high profile and serves quality food. These are a couple of the popular menu items I explored: The Godfather: This sandwich was packed with thinly sliced roast beef and smothered in hot gravy and melted mozzarella cheese. It may appear small in size, but it was very filling. The appearance of the left sandwich looks off due to the gravy oozing out of the hero. Do not let that deceive you because this sandwich is phenomenal! French Fries: These fries practically eat like a meal. They are piled high and deep inside a Chinese container box. The serving quantity was more than plentiful. The crinkle cuts are generously sprinkled with Ted's North secret signature seasoning. They are so tasty you won't need any dipping sauces to supplement the frites. I enjoy the seasoning so much that I wish I could purchase it separately, but it's not for sale. Due to its popularity, there is usually a line, but it moves pretty quickly. There is no indoor or outdoor seating, but there are benches and tables nearby at Van Saun Park. If you decide to dine here, Ted's North is open Monday through Saturday, so please plan accordingly. #tedsnorth #tedsnorthdelicatessen #tedsnorthdeli #thegodfather #frenchfries read more

Come for the sandwiches, come back for the seasoned fries. Ted' North is a well known sandwich shop that has a long history. The line moves fast with quick service even with phone orders coming in. Sandwich choices can be found on the large board in the back, along with special sandwiches listed across the glass case. Two recommended sandwiches include the American Chicken which is a chicken cutlet topped with a BLT, and the Sloppy Ted if you like hot pastrami with coleslaw and Russian dressing. There are also side orders like the thick mac and cheese, or the show stealing seasoned fries. Hot, crispy, seasoned, and too delicious. The staff is as nice as nice can be with a million things happening between the ordering at the front, the food preparation, and orders coming out of the kitchen. The inside of the shop feels like it hasn't aged in decades and can feel like home to many that have been coming for years. This is the place to be for a delicious hearty sandwich, but don't leave without ordering the seasoned fries. read more

Ted's North is one of those places where it's honestly hard to order wrong. No matter what you get, it just hits. Blind order? Still a win. Even if you hate pickles and somehow end up with pickles... surprise, you're a pickle person now. Ted did that. The place itself is tiny, blink and you might miss it, but don't let the size fool you. This kitchen is putting out big flavor, zero nonsense. Everything tastes intentional, dialed in, and made by people who clearly care way too much, in the best way. As for cleanliness: it's solid. Not fancy, not sterile, just well kept and comfortable, exactly what you want from a neighborhood spot that's focused on great food, not white gloves. Service is quick, friendly, and efficient. No over the top spiel, just good people getting you good food without the wait. This is the kind of place you keep in your regular rotation and confidently recommend to anyone visiting. Ted's North isn't trying too hard, and that's why it works. Five stars, easy. Small space, big flavor, zero regrets. read more

Barb is the best! Really pleasant and the food is great and the price is affordable. The energizer with a hash brown usually does the trick for me, the blueberry muffin buttered and toasted is also a good play. They have good sandwiches and is a staple grab lunch to go spot! The fries are supposedly very good but I've never had them! read more

The portions at this place have gotten so ridiculous over the years. Maybe 5 slices of cold cuts on the hero for $15-$20 a pop. I asked for extra chicken on my hero and was charged for such: there was one cutlet on the hero. A single cutlet. They've been getting worse over the years, but this last go was insane and will be my last. Literally 5 slices of turkey on the hero, no less. read more

Greta deli in the area! Awesome tasting sandwiches with perfect crispy seasoned fries. Can't ask for anything better. Only wish the hours were longer and you can order online but that's really it. read more

Small family owned sandwich spot (arguably one of the best delis around). Some of the best fries in the area which they're famous for. Specializing in American/Italian fusion sandwiches with fresh and delicious ingredients. Keats friendly and patient service. Please visit during open hours (they close early, so plan accordingly!) read more

2 words: seasoned fries. Don't miss these!!!! The sandwiches are great here. After trying both breakfast and lunch items, lunch is definitely the way to go. Did I mention seasoned fries? Just making sure. A solid local spot. You can't go wrong but the spicy Italian and chicken cutlet are my go-to. It's a small place so it can get packed but they are super friendly and it's worth the wait. Highly recommend! read more

Fast service, tasty, always hits the spot. Solid sandwiches and heroes. I became a customer and fan from the Rochelle Park location.

Great sandwiches, quick service, reasonable prices! Staff is friendly and gets the order correct. Happy vibes all around.

Love their fries and they have great sandwiches here! Even when the line is long it moves fast. Would definitely go back!

This is one of those rare spots that as I'm eating I'm already looking forward to the next time I'll be back. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the classic deli sandwiches and their seasoned fries are just addicting! It's super busy and I can see why, seems like a favorite among locals. read more

I had the absolute worst eggplant Parmesan sandwich I've ever had in my life there was no flavor to the eggplant the sauce was like some jarred garbage not even as good as ragu minimal cheese so the most exciting part of the sandwich was the heavy tinfoil that it was wrapped in read more

Ted's North is the one of the best sandwich shops in Bergen County. So many great sandwich choices. Consistently great food. Fresh ingredients and great portions. Soups and salads are fantastic. Their chili is awesome. All their soups are delicious. Staff is wonderful. Great people. Always a pleasure to visit Ted's. Like visiting with old friends. I've been coming here for over 20 years and have never had a bad experience. Super small shop but 1000% worth any lines at lunch time. Ted's North is epic. Just the best. read more

What can I say, COVID has made me a take out sandwich connoisseur. And this is the blue ribbon winner, hands down. I've had The Godfather which was spectacular! I'm a guy that truly believes you can seriously screw up a sandwich by having too much bread or too much meat. You need a balance. The bread, meat, cheese, gravy balance was perfect. Sometimes too much gravy can make a sloppy soppy sub. Not the case here. I've also had the Gobbler. Honestly, you don't know how much you miss holiday food until it's May and you get a turkey and stuffing and gravy sandwich. This thing is just straight up a beast of a sandwich. One of the best I've ever had. Finally, I recently had the disco chicken. I can take this one or leave it. It's good but the starchiness of the fries kind of dried this one out. Still leaves and bounds ahead of other deli sandwiches but my least favorite of the three. Fries are good. Not much to say here but they are cheap and a good side so just get 'em. Prices are excellent, food is truly incredible, and take out his lightning fast. Great job Ted!! read more

This place is a gem. Solid and savory sandwhiches all around. Tons of delicious options to choose from. The staff is a well oiled machine. Even when the line is out the door, its usually 10 min or less. They rock! My only knock is that they have sandwich offering all over the place. One nice cohesive menu in one spot would be good for the less seasoned customers and or new people. Regardless, the place is awesome and make sure to get a bag of fries with whatever else you order. read more

Everything is pretty good. Conveniently fast service with a smile. My only critique is the breakfast sandwiches could have a bit more meat to them as the breakfast sandwiches are on the lighter side. However, overall pretty good place. read more

Blown. Away. Dare I say top 3 sandwich I've ever had in my life. Service was phenomenal, vibe was perfect, sandwich was obviously spectacular. And don't get me started on the seasoned fries. I would go there just for them - a must. Please, never remove the Tommy Devito from the menu because I will crave this sandwich until the day I die. read more

I love this spot. For years it's been a staple in the town and it's obvious why. Their fries are simply the BEST (but get a small unless you're sharing with at least three people... they are more than generous). Hope they stick around for decades to come. read more

Really great deli just a mile or two off of route 4 with plenty of parking. I ordered the Gobbler on a hero and small fries. The sandwich was perfect, with fresh turkey, stuffing, gravy and cranberry sauce. The fries were plentiful and very good. I'm coming back for the Godfather. I was seriously debating getting two sandwiches since this is a drive for me but glad I didn't as the portions are huge (that's a good thing!). The people who work there are really nice as well and while there may be a line, it moves very quickly. read more

Been coming here for a lifetime. From Komsa's Farms to Ted's. Taste of history. Taste the fries. Just love stopping in when I'm in the old neighborhood for lunch. Quite the crew for service. Pretty darn good (just a rare miss today w Luke warm mushroom soup). But from The Godfather to the Fries. Almost always 4 stars. Eating in the park next door is nice. read more

Wtf I can't believe I never heard of this place a friend told me about it. This place is awesome. First good sign was there was 15 people in line ahead of me and about 20 people behind me. Small place no tables but who cares, take your food and go. I ate on the trunk of my car. Some of the best seasoned fries you can get. I also had the godfather real tender roast beef with gravy and melted mozzarella. read more

By far the best deli in Paramus; probably one of the top best in Bergen County. Lunch sandwiches, wraps, deli salads, fresh salads, and of course some of the BEST FRENCH FRIES you will ever have! The line is out the door, that's how you know it was amazing! Service is super fast, especially considering how busy they get during lunch. Some of my favorites = The Honey Honey Turkey wrap and egg whites + spinach breakfast wrap! Pro Tip = call ahead ! read more

This is a fabulous deli. It's getting harder and harder to find a good deli with straight up good bread and fresh cold cuts. I didn't have anything fancy: smoked Turkey and Swiss on a multigrain roll with lettuce, tomato, and Mayo. But you know how you know it's good? Because that nothing fancy was sooooo good. If they can make what is a usual special, then they're a winner. The bread was fresh and tasty. The Turkey was fresh so you could taste the smoke. The lettuce and tomato were fresh. Just a delight. read more

By far the best deli around friendly & great food . I'm there almost every day Thank you Ted's Deli for my morning fix .

Ted's North is a Paramus STAPLE!! Their quick service, delicious sandwiches, and easy sides are tough to beat. There can be a wait if you go during a rush hour, but they have a good system going. I typically order the American Chicken on a roll - and you cannot forget to order the seasoned fries. I do have a problem with their logo, which you'll find on the back of the staff's t-shirts. The character shown fits a stereotypical depiction of a black man that is reminiscent cartoonish blackface. Their staff is always quite friendly, and I give them the benefit of the doubt that they didn't mean any offense, but I do hope they see this and reconsider updating their logo / t-shirts. read more

Teds is the ultimate Paramus staple! My go to sandwiches have always been the American Chicken and the Melrose Chicken. The fries are always crispy and come in a huge portion- even the small. After over 15 years of going there everything still tastes the same! They get very very busy at lunchtime though so definitely call ahead if you can! read more

Place is pretty good. Never had a poor quality item on the menu and I've eaten here often as it's close to my job. Owner and staff are friendly, helpful and courteous. I'm a repeat customer because I'm never disappointed with what I get to eat!! I gave this place 4 stars because I'm not crazy about the bread they use so I don't get the hero's. Sometimes it can get a bit crazy in there in terms of lines and waiting so I suggest calling in advance. Otherwise enjoy the deliciousness!! read more

So many fond delicious memories of Ted's from years ago, not sure what's changed but this was a rough lunch. Full disclosure this was ordered through DoorDash. The fries used to be seasoned delightfully but today not only were they soggy, had a sort of stale flavor and were SO salty they were honestly inedible. American chicken, there definitely used to be bacon on here...no bacon and just overall kind of messy now, bland really underwhelming. The Godfather...would be excommunicated for this. Garlic bread, no flavor. The gravy was sort of a very dark congealed situation which was visually not a hit and didn't really taste like anything either, mozzarella may have visited the sandwich but it certainly wasn't present like in years passed. Will always give them another try and not through door dash but it was really disappointing. read more

The best deli in Bergen county. Everything is so good. Their fries are amazing and they give you so many. They are so busy at lunch time but the guy at the register is always happy and provides great service with a smile. Expect a wait if you go at lunch time, it gets busy. read more

Awful. Time and time again. Officially done. This is what you get when you order a "Fresh Hot Turkey Hero" with gravy. I have tried multiple times, but the food is just not good, and never as advertised on the menu. read more

Simply put, doesn't get much better then this! Great subs and outstanding fries. Everything fresh and food is plentiful. Owner and staff are super friendly, prices are more than reasonable and the sport themed decor inside is pretty cool. Well Done Ted read more

Truth be told, I have been to Teds Deli numerous times throughout my lifetime. In high school, this would be the hot spot to get lunch. Teds has some great options in regards to sandwiches, breakfast bagels and wraps, all priced somewhat fairly. Service is always friendly and quick. I've tried a variety of their sandwiches and must say the American Chicken Cutlet is my most favorite. I visited recently though and ended up ordering a Chipotle Chicken Sandwich as I did not want something heavy at the time. If you eat the American you're basically full for the rest of the day. I don't know if it's changed amongst the years but my sandwich was pretty subpar. I understand there is nothing special about my order but you could tell the grilled chicken was pre made because it was tough to chew. To add, the chicken on my sandwich was not enough for the thickness of the bread. I feel like I got ripped off. read more
