After walking around Spring Lake Beach, Lake Como, and gazing at nice homes, we built enough of an appetite for lunch at Tom Bailey's. This was the standard deli experience I'd expect. Plenty of sandwiches on the menu, drinks, chips, cold cuts, ready to make pasta.... what more is there to ask. And a limited frills experience too. We ordered the Princetonian & Casey between the two of us. Also got a bag of mango habanero chips & freshly squeezed orange juice. When you pay, you get a pager to let you know when your food is ready. Because it's the summer, expect a little wait, but not terribly long. There's plenty of seating outside if you don't want to sit indoors. There's just a couple of tables near the front door. I'm not the biggest fan of wraps (my girl is), but the Casey was pretty good. The breaded eggplant makes it good. It does come apart pretty easily so be slightly warned. The Princetonian was pretty good. Just keep in mind it's not a hot sub, but the veggies are all fresh. The mushrooms were super good. At $11 for the wrap & sandwich each, that's not a bad deal. read more

its the only place in town. That said you would think they would be a little nicer. like not being downright nasty when someone orders a "Taylor ham egg and cheese" instead of "PorkRoll Egg and Cheese". This has happened multiple times. One time someone at our house ordered a Taylor ham egg and cheese and they gave us boiled ham instead and wouldnt change it. I get the joke of it all but they were not at all trying be funny. read more

What a great deli with such a great assortment of stuff. The fresh guacamole is so good. One morning we came and had fresh pull pork egg and cheese sandwich's so so good. The fresh donuts on Saturday and Sunday are good as well. I had a cinnamon one. Good food good drinks! read more

Absolutely disgusting. Food was atrocious and the owner rented a grill for our party that did not work. 3 hours before the event only half the grill worked and we spent hours trying to rectify the situation. We made due with the grill we had and then upon picking up the grill, they dumped all the grease and bbq remnants down our brand new driveway. Neither Chris (owner of Tom Baileys) nor the rental company want to take responsibility. Chris was extremely rude to me on the phone and hung up when I asked how this would be fixed. read more

All hands on deck in this market deli. Fantastic staff ready to help. We got some sandwiches one BLT on a hoogie and I did the black karvin? They were both so good. Classic nyc style deli sandwich is so appreciated. Cute market place otherwise, reminds me of home and has everything you need read more

This store charged me money without my permission on my cc at checkout! I have two separate receipts with different amounts. I didn't leave a tip so what's the charge for? Disgraceful!!! I'm putting in a dispute with capital one for fraudulent charges. No one should support this thieving, sneaky business. And the prices were astronomical! Buyer beware. read more

Smoothies are pretty good, probably the best in town. There is a restaurant that also offers a smoothie and it is like drinking thick water, don't go there for smoothies. Go here for smoothies. read more

Nice market with lots of potential. Store made hot items and a nice variety of items. Couple of things that need to be addressed to improve. First - nice selection of sandwiches. However, they are served on hoagies that were not very fresh. A fresher and more updated variety of breads would improve the sandwiches. Second, we were browsing the cold cases. There were some eggplant packaged dishes that had mold. I informed the cashier and she immediately addressed it and removed the items. read more

Excellent food and prices, would certainly keep coming back when in town. It was around 11:30AM so I had a breakfast sandwich on wheat and my daughter ordered a roast-beef on a Kaiser both were tasty and hearty. There's fruit and healthy refrigerated options too! read more

I was looking for a good smoothie when I came across the review for this market. A reviewer said they had the best smoothies around. I got a strawberry banana smoothie and it was really good! They also have a large variety of prepared foods, fresh frozen pasta and many more items. I bought a little snack box with grapes, cheese, wrapped crackers and chicken salad. It was really good! read more

Always the best service, terrific butcher . It's a true go to place for catering . A great lunch spot too ! You'll love their food! read more

Butcher shop is why I come here. The butcher must have gotten some coaching, he now makes eye contact and is quite pleasant. My hunch is that he's just shy. Aged beef, trimmed to perfection, fresh Italian sausage not too salty, best fresh ground beef in the area. Not too lean. Bland but fresh guacamole (it needs more lime and jalapeños, but I do that at home). Very, very expensive and worth it. read more

What a lovely group of people! My son is living in Spring Lake. I wanted to send him a gift to celebrate a recent promotion (I'm in California). He'd once mentioned how much he and his wife love their local deli. Internet sleuthing suggested Tom Bailey's, so I emailed the market to ask, "Do you know my son?" w/ a description of him. Kind of a bizarre question to ask a market, but I got same day responses from both Danielle, the manager, and Chris, the owner: "Yes! We love your son and his wife! Of course we'll help you!" Danielle put together a custom basket, suggesting a few of his TB favorites. She even found a way to get it delivered, although I don't think that's a normal service offered there. Son was just delighted! Thank you, Tom Bailey's. read more

I've been a fan for years. I remained loyal and actually purchased more while in the thick of the pandemic. Now they are charging the customers their credit card merchant fee. That is the cost of doing business and the customers shouldn't have to absorb that fee. Most people have endured financial hardship during this time so this should not be an excuse. They should be thankful for the business that has kept them afloat. Unfortunately, I can no longer purchase from this establishment. Remember your 80/20 rule. read more

My grandparents and parents have lived in Spring Lake for many years. I have never had such poor customer service time after time. I ordered a sandwich today for pick up and the person on the phone then hung up on me. I went to pick up the sandwich and after waiting for fifteen minutes I finally asked if they were even making it. They were not and didn't even apologize or offer to make the sandwich quickly. Sad to see such horrible service to a loyal customer read more

Staple in Spring Lake. Always pleasant, in person and on phone when I wanted to buy a gift certificate! Great food! Nice people! Thank you! read more

Exceptional customer service. Wide variety of sandwiches that were delicious. No Subway or Jersey Mikes here. I'm a former Jersey shore boy from Neptune who relocated to Washington DC. God it's nice to get back to Spring Lake. It is one of the most beautiful towns on the east coast. And to discover a great deli made the trip that much better. I've always loved Spring Lake. It's the perfect small Jersey beach town. Add great food and employees who are kind and professional and I guarantee I'll be back this summer. Please go and get the Reuben. Damn tasty.

I called in a breakfast order, was told 10 minutes. I arrived in 10 minutes, they told me no order exist. As I leave I can hear the woman making derogatory remarks. I will never go here or recommend to anyone read more

We are local year round residents who have supported this local business for years. They now add 3.99 % for credit card usage. What an insult. W will not be back. read more

Ordered the casey which is a wrap with egg plant and peppers the eggplant was so dried out you couldn't even eat the sandwich I had to throw it out the potato salad was sour don't go there read more

There really is NO better place to cater an office lunch or home party. I have used Tom Bailey's for several events and the food is consistent and delicious. The orzo salad is amazing, my favorite, and the hot dishes are so good. My guests always ask where to get more. Such a nice, classy, family owned place. Even better that they deliver. A real winner. I love this place! read more

Best place ever! Awesome deli and fresh meat! Takes me back to when we went to the butcher fad a kid!

This is an excellent place to get a bite in Spring Lake when you're starting your day. The breakfast paninis are huge. What I did was go in, tell the counterman what my dietary restrictions were, and then let him go to town. He did, and I couldn't finish it. One warning: there are no free refills on coffee. But the prices are so reasonable that you won't mind having an extra cup and dropping the change for it. Didn't sample their other salads; was only there for breakfast. read more

Help, I need a 12 step program to get over Tom Baileys tuna fish. Folks, it's that good. My husband and I ride our bikes over to Tom Baileys every Saturday morning in the summer to get tuna sandwiches for the beach. Now our kids are hooked on their tuna salad and we need to have a stock pile on hand when they come down to visit. All of their sandwiches are delicious, as well as their prepared foods . The staff is great, always friendly and welcoming. read more

Went there for the first time today and really enjoyed it. I got the pepper turkey wrap. The turkey was a good quality. I could only eat half. Also had the sweet potato chips. Delicious. Husband had a sandwich and black cherry soda. We will definitely go back. read more

Five stars for their meats, especially their pork chops. The meats here are really good. Live right around the corner from here and we get chicken breast, pork chops, and meatballs from here. The prices are a a little high per pound (except for their pork chops because they are worth it) but it's the convenience that counts. Their pork I believe is brined but it is fantastic. Marinate in soy sauce, a little salt and pepper, grill, and enjoy. Easily the best pork chops I have ever had. They have meatballs stuffed with mozzarella (you have to ask for those to be made now, can not buy them if you just go in). Never had any deli sandwiches from there. read more

Tom Bailey's Market - Best pork chops I have ever had!! - Meat Shops Near Me - Spring Lake, New Jersey

Stopped at Tom Bailey's Market to grab lunch last weekend while walking through downtown Spring Lake. Ordered an Italian sandwich and it was ready within a couple of minutes even with a large summer crowd. The sandwich was plentiful and tasty. They also have a nice outside seating area, however many of the seats were covered with bird droppings and hadn't been clean. Overall, food was great but, they should have someone clean off all the tables and chairs in the morning so the customers have somewhere to sit. read more

Solid sandwiches before heading to the beach. Maybe a bit pricey for what they are but they are convenient and tasty. There's a nice outdoor seating area for lunch, the shop was crowded with those I assume are locals. I'm not from the area so was looking for lunch at a decent place, and this was it. read more

Great spot for lunch with outdoor seating. I was meeting up with my mom and brother and needed to find a place that had vegan options for me as well as non-vegan options for them. This was a perfect spot. I had a veggie sandwich with a side of bean salad. They also had several quinoa options that I will have to try next time I'm in town. read more

Pick up from here frequently. Always consistent food and on par value with my expectations. Have repeated. read more

Another mehhh..... $6 for bacon egg and cheese on a hard roll. Long lines on weekends. Poor set up for taking, making and delivering orders makes the line move SLOW. No flavored coffee creamers. Again limited choices to eat in spring lake without driving so most likely I'll be back at some point but by necessity not by choice. read more

Amazing, fresh food. Great selection of salads and hot & cold entrees. Awesome breakfast menu. I loved the outside dining area. Coffee was great. Super friendly service with a smile. Love this place. Such a treat!!! read more

Great deli/store! They have amazing breakfast sandwiches and lunch sandwiches as well as great coffee drinks, juices, etc. Great place to go to get food for a party as they do platters, etc. Highly recommend it! read more

Great food, but counter service is pathetic. Be prepared o stand on line for 10 minutes while 6 people behind the counter scurry about taking care of call-in orders, and ignore everyone on line. Perhaps one day they'll wake up and designate a person or two to take care of the patrons on line. Once they do, perhaps i'll return read more

Hands down the best sandwich spot in Spring Lake! Friendly service, convenient sitting area, oversized sandwiches. What more could you want?

Grabbed a couple of sandwiches on the way to the beach. Place seems very clean and has some very nice and fresh options. The sandwiches were very good. I would recommend coming here and grabbing something before heading off to a day on the beach. read more

The food taste very delicious and the people there are so kind!! They're sandwiches and chili is amazing as well!!

We stopped in after the cafe next door was closed (it was a Sunday afternoon) and we were glad we did! We got the everroast wrap and one of the chicken sandwiches and they were both great! They had a lot of prepared foods and salads that looked really good too. We will definitely be back. read more

Stopped in for a quick bite. The "Poppy" on a wrap hit the spot. Friendly service and very clean.
