The 53 Grill makes solid Sloppy Joe Sandwiches, a NJ Classic that has never really spread beyond the state. I have no idea why! A triple decker sandwich of Turkey (or roast beef), Swiss, coleslaw and tangy Russian Dressing layered on rye, cut in thirds, the flavors meld together in a Heavenly way! Cut in thirds, definitely enough to save one third for a late night snack or lunch the next day. The 53 Grill Sloppy Joe is legit. Whenever I'm "home" I have to have a Sloppy a Joe. Truth be told, my favorite Joe is from a Hickory Tree in Chatham but when I don't have time to make the ride, this is my go to spot. Since cross country flights no longer serve food, I often stop here on the way to the airport and buy two; one to eat on the flight, the other stashed in my insulated bag to savor for lunch the flowing day. They are that good. Service is polite, fast and efficient. I avoid the mad rush during lunch time. The fact that there is a mad rush is a sign that the food is good and prices more than fair. I live in Portland now and a decent sandwich is $9-$10 so I really appreciate that I can get a Sloppy Joe for $6.99. See you next time I'm in Jersey! read more

I stopped in for lunch and liked the place, but I definitely need to come back when it's not the crazy noon hour. The Pro's Since it was my first time here, I went for the traditional Taylor ham, egg, and cheese on a roll. The sandwich and coffee were very good. The staff was very friendly. The Con's Parking was tough. Had to circle through parking lot twice and luckily someone was pulling out. The tables were full, was lucky to find a place to sit. Unfortunately, table was not wiped off so I needed to do it myself. I'll stop by again at an off peak time. The sandwich menu looks good and after seeing many positive Yelp reviews, I need to try again. read more

I've been coming here since the 53 Grill opened and I'm not gonna lie, if I could eat here more often I would. I have never, ever, EVER, ordered something here that I didn't rave about. My tow favorite items are the empanadas and their 'Sloppy Joe' sandwiches. I don't know what they do to their empanadas, but they are amazing I've eaten a lot of empanadas over the years and I can't get enough of the tasty treats here. As for the Sloppy Joe-OMG. Turkey, Roast Beef, Swiss, cole slaw and Russian Dressing on rye. Ummmm, OK! So delicious. Every day there are specials, each one seemingly better than the next. If I could make one more recommendation, it would be the Guinness cheesesteak. That's right, I said Guinness cheesesteak... Meat marinated in Guinness beer-yeah, it really is as good as it sounds. So if you're in the mood for a really good sandwich and you're in the area I can guarantee you will not be disappointed in the food you get from 53 Grill. read more

Great ,casual, low key place with tables and EXTREMELY nice and friendly staff. Came in today with a bunch of friends and we all enjoyed all the different options on the menu we ordered. Soups, Sandwiches, egg platters, fries,, empanadas, and more. Everything looked delicious and everyone enjoyed their lunch. Staff couldn't of been any nicer and there is also a parking lot as well. Hope to head back sometime soon. Enjoy! read more

Excellent food and owner and staff as super nice. Highly recommend and try their tuna sandwich and also their empanadas read more

This was where I elected to spend my one hour break, on my way to umpire the second of two baseball games in Denville, on a recent Saturday afternoon. The accompanying picture is an unedited photograph of my "Tough Guy" sandwich. As you will see, the only thing "special" about this $9.00 sandwich ... is the name. read more

Best cheesesteaks ever but also amazing quesadillas, and chicken sandwiches. The owner Tom is always so friendly and welcoming. So many more things yet to try here but so far they haven't done me wrong. read more

I have only had catering from here but the sandwiches are solid and decently prices for the portion. It's not groundbreaking but not a bad option for no-frills catering or a lunch to-go. read more

I ordered a buffalo chicken salad. when I saw my salad, i didn't know what to think. I've seen buffalo chicken salad from other restaurants but it never looked like this. It looked underwhelming at first glance because it wasn't oozing with the red and white sauces I've seen. Now, to someone counting calories and is more health conscious this buffalo chicken salad would be perfect. I will admit once i began eating, it wasn't as bad as it looked. I'd rate it a 3 out of 5. I thought the use of celery in the salad was clever and ties into the whole buffalo chicken theme. However, I could have done without it in my salad. I would patronize this business again. I would more than likely try something different. read more

Have ordered lunch from here a bunch of times. Awesome spot. Great service. All sandwiches have been great.

The 53 grill is on my top 10 favorite places to eat! The bourbon pulled pork empanada and smoked brisket quesadilla are to die for. Tom likes to experiment with his food and he does not disappoint. He's also very friendly and welcoming along with the staff. Please give them a try! read more

Always wanted to stop here and try a Taylor Ham & Cheese on a roll. There's just something to be said about short order grills. This was a very disappointing display of a roll with a few tiny pieces of meat. Not even enough to cover the bread. Girls who work there are very nice and get 5 stars for early morning attitude but, Wont be back for a sandwich especially when S&M puts 3x's the read more

I have been eating here for the past THREE years. The food is GREAT, I recommend the empanadas they came with a delicious salsa (that the owner told me is house made) that paired very well. The brisket quesadillas that are all home made is AMAZING. And the owner was a helpful funny man with a sick pony tail. And the ambiance has a great marvel and dc comics feel. Definitely come to this place for the classics!! read more

Great service!! The food was sooo good. Very kind people working there as well. Highly recommend.

Good cup of coffee and breakfast empanada on a cold day. Cozy, sunnylands good to eat in before getting back in the car.

Great place to get a bite to eat !! It's local and the food was amazing !! I had an Empanada and I also tried one of there cheesesteaks So you don't even have to go to philly to get one they are that great !! Thanks Tommy I'll be back !! read more

My first review as a yelp elite! Big props and shout out to who ever nominated me! I couldn't be more pleased with stumbling across this place. I am obsessed with take out menus so I always read the ones strewn about the kitchen and reception desk at my job. Empanadas and sandwich specials, sure ill give it a whirl. Pulling up looks like any old run of the mill deli but let me assure you it is not. While they do offer standard deli fare, they also step outside the box with some original creations. Breakfast empanadas? Why not. Sweet potato crusted chicken tenders? Well now you're just teasing me. Something called a Guineans cheesesteak? You might have me for life. Food was freshly made, affordable, and down right delicious. My beef and chicken empanadas were spot on and the chicken tenders mentioned above were something unexpected and really really good. Appeared family owned and the service was warm, kind, patient, and inviting. Cheers 53 Grill. I shall return. read more

53 grill is a little space for sandwiches and lotto tickets off of route 53 in Denville, near the NJ transit station. Their menu offers around 25 different sandwiches including burgers on a variety of different types of bread/rolls. I got the scully without bacon. It was kind of dry. Staff was friendly though, and we were hungry, and they had a parking lot, so everyone was satisfied. The burger looked juicy. read more

My husband and I ordered three soups and 7 empanadas. The chicken empanadas were really good and the beef were ok. The hot sauce he had for the empanadas were tasty. The soup was ok. Got the pasta fagioli. It didn't taste home made. It tasted like canned minestrone soup with chopped up meatball. My daughter had the chicken noodle soup. It looked homemade. I saw pieces of carrot and celery in it. We waited a very long time for this order, over a half an hour for empanadas that were already made sitting under a heat lamp and I'm sure the soup was already made in the back because when we got home, it was just warm. read more

I eat at the 53 Grill almost every day and I have tried just about everything on the menu. All of the sandwiches are delicious and piled high with whatever you want on them. I highly recommend the Sloppy Joes or Specialty sandwiches for lunch (they're all terrific) and for breakfast, nothing beats their Breakfast Quesadilla or the Capitalist Pig; just make sure you have a good cardiologist lined up for that one! The service is friendly and fast, and Tom and his team can accommodate any order. My only regret is that I can't eat here more often! read more

I've only been here once, but the place left an impression on me. There's a lot of options in Downtown Denville, so I never really noticed this place. Well, today, being a big Pink Floyd fan, the prism empanada logo kind of drew me in. I got one of the specials and the owner greeted me in a friendly fashion and even cleared my plate. I will be back again to try one of the quesadillas/empanadas next time. Cheers 53. read more

Living in Denville i got my pick for subs, which is amazing because i don't think much can beat a GOOD turkey and cheese sub. That said, this is my favorite spot for it. Their subs are large and loaded, but always the right ratio of meat, cheese, lettuce and mayo. My husband will drop everything for one of their subs - there is no place in town he'd rather get lunch from. His go-to is their cheesesteaks! Also, the owner is always so nice. One time, i came in with a car seat, and he brought everything out to my car for me so i didn't have to juggle. Great service read more

We went last Saturday. The store is small and neat. I like these kitchen models on their wall. The girl who took our order was sweat. 53 grill has special menu during weekend. My wife had a California Chicken sub and I order Phili steak. My Phili is OK, as it has no onion or bell pepper. The Young lady was very nice when I asked for Swiss cheese to place the Cheddar on menu. My wife's chicken sub is the BEST chicken sandwich I have ever had. The surface of grilled chicken breast was crispy and it was juicy inside. We also ordered a beef and an apple empanada. They were freshly made and taste good. The portion is relatively big so I would not recommend to order more than a sub+ an empanada per person. I will definitely visit 53 Grill again for different items. read more

I am loving this sausage,egg,& cheese sandwich I just picked up! I have been eating here since he opened I don't know how many years ago. Tom's food is awesome. I have never ordered anything that wasn't well prepared and tasty. read more

The beef empanadas are so delicious here! The salsa is a perfect compliment!! Also, all of the sloppy joe sandwiches are super delicious. You get high quality ingredients and maximum flavor for a good price! They keep me coming back again and again. read more

My family loves it here. Been coming for years. My two year old daughter loves the beef empanadas (or "nadas" as she asks for them by name). They have awesome specials and, if you like hot sauce... like ghost pepper hot... keep an eye out for the Delta Force version of their Chuck Norris sandwich. In the winter, try their "walking taco" which is a bag if Doritos filled with chili and taco toppings. Brilliant and delicious. Great cheesesteaks, great tuna. The owner/staff is very friendly as well. Also, it's close to the train tracks so sit on the end table (to the right when you enter) if your kids want to watch it go by. read more

One of the best Places around. Everything is great. Homemade and creative menu. The specials are always awesome. Sandwiches are huge so make sure you're hungry. read more

I work in Rockaway and travel here for lunch whenever I get the chance. Great food for a great price, nuff said! read more

This place is disgusting inside.I'm not sure if they keep garbage near the windows or what but on a hot day it smelled gross. They should invest in a renovation. I have come in here 2x .The chicken in my sandwich tasted either over cook or old . The second time I went the bread was moldy on the bottom. I wanted to like this place bc of the one time my job ordered from here it was pretty good. read more

Great sandwiches! The empanadas are the best around. The real name of the place is The 53 Grill. I have been here many times for lunch and breakfast and never had a bad sandwich. The staff and owner are always super nice and friendly. They have great cheese steaks as well The Chuck Norris is one of the best, but you have to like spicy Chuck fights back. read more

Stumbled upon this amazing eatery while touring through the upper east coast. Walked into a welcoming environment and was quickly greeted and told of the days specials. I went with the Jack Daniels philly, which was a sweet and filling. My friends got the "Chuck Norris" (flavorful with a kick), "Izzy's favorite" (right balance of flavors), and "Some Devil" (So Right).... The last sandwich being a tribute to Dave Matthews Band! The owner was a great people person and made us want to come back for more..... Maybe we can swing by on our way back home! The prices are fair and the portions are a great bang for your buck. I recommend this to anyone who loves good food! read more

Ordered an omelette was given a sandwich and they did nothing but laugh when I called up and complained

Love the 53 Grill! It is my go to place whenever I am having a party, or going to one. The sloppy joe platter is great with turkey, ham, or roast beef. The cheese steaks are delicious. However, it is the empanadas and that secret salsa that are my favorite. They are hands down the best I've ever tasted. Wherever I bring them, they are a huge hit. I even have an account who tells me I am not allowed come in without them. I can't emphasize how good that salsa is. I have poured it on chips,chicken, and even pasta. The owner Tom always has a smile, the service is always great, and my order is always right. You can see he takes pride in his business. I recommend 53 Grill to everyone! read more

Needs works for sure. Definitely unorganized and inefficient staff. The man pulled bagels out of plastic drawer and said were not really a bagel place, we do more sandwiches. To be honest it doesn't look like you don't do much here. Overall appearance needs work and updating. read more

One of the best lunch places in Denville. The tuna melt is always great and their empanadas are amazing. It's great that they have more than just beef and chicken empanadas too, the cheesesteak is my favorite and the thanksgiving dinner one is awesome. read more
