The BEST sandwich that I have ever had!!!!! My fiancé grew up in Summit and showed me around this past weekend - said that we had to have a Sloppy Joe at his old stomping grounds. As a Midwesterner, I had no idea that it wasn't the same ground beef/bbq sauce concoction that we make. The roast beef and swiss Sloppy Joe was AMAZING! I have never had anything like it before. It was so great, that I made him stop in before we left town and we got two more for the road. I had mine with turkey and cheddar, which didn't matter because the coleslaw and Russian dressing mix is the star of the show!!!! I enjoyed this so much that I am going to try to replicate it at home in Minnesota! If we ever get back to Summit again, you can be sure that we will be stopping by again for the BEST SANDWICH EVER!!!!! read more

The food is excellent, especially the Duke Sandwich and the 54 Sandwich. Highly recommended!

Came across this gem by accident. Wonderful sandwiches and sloppy joes. Breakfast is also spot on!

I'm dropping a 4 but 3.5 would be better. Their half and half Arnold Palmer is terrific. The cold cuts are properly sliced. The customer service can be iffy, though. read more

We ordered catering for Super Bowl from Towne deli. The process was super easy and convenient. There were some modifications we requested to make due to dietary restrictions. The deli had no problem fulfilling them and were extremely accommodating. Always appreciated! The food was delicious! The turkey sub had the perfect meat to bread ratio, coconut shrimp the perfect crunch, the wings, omg the wings, a must! We also tried sausage and peppers which took me right back to my grandfathers kitchen. The garden salad was crisp and dressing tart but creamy. I will definitely be using them for future parties! read more

One of the tastiest Sloppy Joes in the area. The real deal. These people are Sloppy Joe professionals read more

The classic small town deli. Everything they make is great, from sandwiches to salads to macaroni and cheese and their huge cookies. The people serving the food are either friendly or no nonsense, both of which are great. They have NEVER gotten an order wrong. Also their massive iced teas are a staple. I am honestly struggling to think of anything bad to say. read more

Great place to pick up fresh sandwiches of varies types whether hot or cold. Fresh deli meats and homemade recipes add consistency to the menu. Add to this a "gallo" tea and you have a great combination. Definitely looking to return when I'm in the area. read more

So so so good!!! Delivery is excellent, ice tea is wonderful. Def recommend!! It's an essential for Summit/New Prov residents and visitors read more

Towne Deli - Grilled Cheese Sandwich - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Summit, New Jersey

Once again Anthony and crew hit it out of the park when preparing my sandwich just the way I like it. No deviation just spot on quality. I had my son ask for a whole slice of onion on my Turkey and Swiss with Mayo on Rye. That's exactly what I received and it was much appreciated. Keep up the good work. I would recommend this deli to others without hesitation. read more

Great sandwiches and friendly quick service. I especially like the Sloppy Joes the store is plain but I did not go there for its ambiance.

They have really good frozen vegetarian lasagna. Only one bad thing about some of the guys working there they don't want to wear gloves when preparing your food they get angry when told to wear gloves. read more

As a girl who was raised on classic delicatessens found scattered throughout most New Jersey suburban towns, I have to say that Towne Deli is easily my favorite of them all. Their sandwiches are top notch, always. Fresh cut meat and bread consistently take the sandwiches to the next level, as do the special combinations of sandwiches Towne Deli offers, hot and cold. My go-to sandwich is a sloppy Joe, known to New Jersians and other deli-mongers as a your choice(s) of meat and cheese layered with Russian dressing and homemade coleslaw, stacked up with three pieces of thinly sliced, fresh rye bread. I always get turkey and roast beef, although other combinations I've had are nearly as impeccable. They have an area-favorite drink called the "half-and-half," which is, as many now know due to the success of Arizona Ice Tea's Arnold Palmer product, half iced tea and half lemonade. Towne Deli has been making their own rendition of this concoction for years and years, and it's unlike any other version you've had. They serve it in a giant plastic container usually dedicated to potato salad or coleslaw, the lid of the contained stabbed with a knife for the straw. I buy this giant container of heaven's nectar and it's gone by the end of the 15 minute drive to my house. Towne Deli has a huge selection of other soft drinks to choose from, brand name things of course, as well as a large wine selection. Some delicious hot dishes include the homemade mac and cheese (really amazing) and the pulled pork (also really amazing). Anything you get here is a home run. Thanks, Towne Deli. read more

Towne Deli shocked all of my senses. The first thing I noticed when I strolled in was that there is a James Ihedigbo jersey hanging on the wall. As the most random New York Jets player of all time, this struck me as absolutely hilarious. After remarking on it, one of the employees said he comes in all the time! Very cool. The sandwiches are apparently top notch, but I went for their home made mac & cheese and their bbq pulled pork. First of all, WIISHDUHSUFH it was GREAT!!! I ate half of the pulled pork which I got on a club, and saved the rest for the next day and I was so excited to revisit the masterpiece. Truly amazing. The mac was also fantastic! Really home made style, a nice mozzarella crisp lining the top with a whiter cheddar base. It was classic and great. Every employee here is a frat boy that looks exactly the same wearing the same LAX shorts and basic tshirt, so don't feel sorry if you forgot who was serving you and ordered from the wrong person. This place is legend, will be going back soon!!! read more

It's right in front of the New Providence NJT station. They offer different varieties of daily sandwiches, all traditional version with a twist. We had the cheese steak with wasabi mayo and jalapeno. Very good and good to clear your nose too. I had the grilled chicken with lettuce tomatoes, onions and thousand island dressing. Their ice tea (available by the quart) is THE BEST! Also the rice pudding. It's a great neighborhood deli and seems like they employ every single student from the area. read more

Been here before and I liked the food. Came in today and was appalled by the lack of hygiene in the food preparation. While waiting I watched as employees handled food and money. No plastic gloves in sight. No washing of hands. Had a discussion with the Manager who argued with me. Astounding. Told them they could keep my food and listened to the employees ask what my problem was. Then the cashier suddenly appears. First time I have ever seen one too. Two stars as you could be a lucky one and have no issues. So, go in and roll the dice. If it doesn't get you sick, it's likely to taste pretty good. You want a clean shop, try Broadway Deli in downtown. Want a truly great deli? Go to Barths. My first time today and they make a damn fine sandwich. They also wear gloves and use wash sinks too. read more

I would't make the trip for a regular sub, but they have a really great chicken parmigiana sub. It's worth it. Really hungry for lunch on a weekend? The Towne Deli would be on the top of my list (along with Tito's). This place is also somewhat well known for it's iced tea or lemonade or half/half in a giant inexpensive tub. I've never been quite thirsty enough. read more

Got sandwiches before heading to a Rutgers football game, and was very happy with my food! Turkey club was delicious, and my friends Italian sub that I tried was great too. I liked the way they packed them to go on a plate with plastic wrap because it made it so easy to keep leftovers. Only thing is they took a while to make their sandwiches, but that's not an issue as long as you aren't in a rush. read more

The only thing keeping this from a 5 star review is high rate of error in completing phone in orders. Something is ALWAYS messed up. I have called ahead lunch orders in the morning to make sure to reserve chocolate chip cookies, only to have none when I pick it up, and of course find that they are sold out. I have called ahead for sandwiches for dinner for long group car trips, only to find 50% of the sandwiches ordered substituted for something entirely different. It is too bad, because the food they make is fantastic. The chocolate chip cookies seem to go back and forth between two recipes, the original of which may be the best I have ever had (Star Ledger agrees!). I wish I knew why they started messing with it, and I wish they would stop. Of course, you HAVE to try their half and half. Their breakfast sandwich is sometimes very good, but other times the bacon is overcooked. Also, the roll they use is a little sweet for my taste, though some people might prefer it. Overall, so tasty, they might be the best deli in New Jersey if they sorted out their service issues. read more

This place does it right. I've only been here a few times and not been disappointed. The sandwiches are great! Got the southwest cheese steak today, good lord it was a hefty sandwich! I would've put a picture of it but it was too good to not eat. I'm not from the area but if I'm there, that's where I'll go! read more

Place used to be great. Loyal customer but they've hired a bunch of young people who don't wear masks, text on their phone, run their fingers through food during a pandemic. A shame. They need to reevaluate who they hire. read more

The best deli, their custom sandwiches are fantastic, I recommend the duke or Vermonter. Call ahead they are busy

I can only say what I thought of the bacon, egg and cheese sandwich. This dish is something of a legend amongst those in New Providence, who devour this breakfast item a lot apparently. They rave about it at my high school all the time, and so I decided to finally try it. Holy shit. This was the greasiest, warmest, most delectable thing I've had in a while for breakfast. I had some ketchup on there too, but the bacon's smoky, almost maple flavor fused with the egg and cheese for the perfectly scrumptious cholesterol threesome. The ketchup gave the sandwich some depth, and the bun was warm and fluffy. Consuming the second half was something of a challenge, and I suffered odd and nauseous eating patterns for the rest of the day. Just throw in the towel one day and indulge-- your heart and stomach won't be happy but your taste buds sure will. read more

This use to be the go to place for sloppy joes for the past like 40+ years, but I went there the other day and the have doubled the coleslaw and dressing, but cut the meat waaay down. This place has always been trying to figure out what to do with their extra space in the store. I hope they aren't on their way out and can get back to original standards. read more

Stop. Don't order. Turn around. Get in your car and drive to the Millburn Deli. Both places have great sandwiches, prices are pretty much a wash, but you can order at Towne, drive to Millburn, order, get served and drive back to Summit and the petulant, hey-I'm-from-Summit LAX'er behind the counter will still be screwing up your order. Just saying. read more

Towne Deli is an excellent deli. They make great sandwiches using high quality ingredients, including fresh breads, meats and cheeses. They have great specialty sandwiches and wraps, and I think their NJ style Sloppy Joes are as good as it gets anywhere else. They make good hot food, too and their chocolate chip cookies are really good, with giant bittersweet chips. I catered a business lunch recently and everyone raved about their sandwiches and homemade iced tea and lemonade. Their meals are on the pricier side, bit worth every penny. Oh, by the way, they are really fast so the lunch time lines move quickly. read more

You know, this was the place for years but has really gone down hill the last few times I bought sandwiches from them. Bought the famous "54" sandwich ( grilled chicken/ roasted peppers , mozzarella and pesto )... NO roasted peppers, grilled chicken was not thoroughly cooked.... like chewing a rubber band, bread stale...awful! Like throwing $10 bucks in the garbage..no less I drove out of my way hoping to get a good sandwich from Towne. Years ago, the store was appealing to look at,...wine, beer, variety of hot and cold foods illustrated ....nothing now other than a few bowls of half filled tuna, chicken salad and egg salad displayed behind the counter refrigerated window. The back of the store looks like it is unfinished ... I guess since Towne no longer provide any alcoholic beverages, it does not know what to do with the previous space. Where are the favorable current dated reviews? Not many eh? Stay away! read more

I have been missing out on this place for a few years. I had no idea it existed since it's out of the way (but located next to a NJT train stop). When you walk inside, don't expect anything fancy. The liquor store portion is small and a bunch of fridge's with cold beer. The middle has a small wine selection. The deli side is bigger but there are no tables. The staff is friendly and quick. Specials are clearly marked on the board behind the counter. They have a hot foods small area behind a glass casing. I ordered the "pioneer" which was chicken cutlet, pepperoni, mozzarella and sauce (I opted for no sauce). There really is no half sub here. You get the whole loaf (12 inches?). My friend had the eggplant parm. There is no seating inside and outside there is one, lone bench which we decided to use. My sandwich was money! Chicken was juicy and not over breaded, the mozz & pepperoni were toasted to perfection! I split half (unwillingly) with my buddy. I am not a fan of eggplant parm HOWEVER it was money as well! Not too much sauce, no soggy bread, eggplant sliced thin and lightly breaded...ahhh...just like I eat it. For the 2 sandwiches (which are filling), small bag of chips and 2 bottles of water/soda it came out to $21...not too shabby. Will definitely be returning. Just wish they had more seating but it seems to be a "commuter" deli which is fine. read more

WOW. What a spot... Towne Deli does sandwiches right. They're not a traditional, Italian-style deli, but rather, very Americanized. They have some GREAT sandwiches, and the ingredients are fresh. I was surprised at how quickly we got served, paid, and food in belly. It was great. They also have monstrous cookies that hit the spot for an after lunch treat. I got the chicken cutlet, mozzerella, salami, and marinara sub (forgot the name), and it was spot-on. read more

I've been coming here for over 20 years and most of the time the sandwiches are good.Years ago they used to do a "fancy" pre- made sandwich on pizza bread with ham and other ingredients that I loved but that disappeared.The place has changed and I suspect been sold.There is much less in the store than there used to be.it's still good but it's kind of dull now. read more

placed a large order with Uber Eats and the order was missing items and the driver was sent away. Called the deli and they were rude, would not help at all and then the manager hung up on me. Terrible service. We will never order from there again. read more

Try the Hilltoppers, sloppy joe, or southwest cheesesteak! Great sandwiches. Also, the owners are very generous to local causes.

My mother in law lives in a condo right around the corner from Towne Deli. It's a great spot to pick up a great submarine sanwich and a cold beer. It's got a nice old school feel. read more

Good sammies. The sloppy joes are the best! And the half and half is a must. The chicken parm and meatball parm are pretty good as well.

A group of us got a number of subs from here the other day while we watched some football. I did not go here but I'm told it's right by the New Providence train station. Not sure about prices, either. I tried a number of different subs -- Italian, turkey and roast beef. In my opinion, the best sandwich was the roast beef. It was actually nice and rare; just the way I like it. The Italian was 2nd best but I wasn't the biggest fan of the turkey sub. My only knock against this place is that they're a little light on the meat and the sandwiches were on the "breadier" side. I'd get sandwiches from here again but I'd probably stick with the roast beef. It's a solid enough spot. read more

This place is delicious, I always get the Hilltopper on sub bread with an Arizona and it's always a good price. They recently did a nice renovation too, for extra space and selling a variety of other convenience items. They do catering, too. read more

I live 30 minutes away from here and still go when I can. They make a delicious "joe." That's a sandwich with thinly sliced triple decker rye bread with your meat, cheese, cole slaw, and Russian salad dressing. Also they sell liquors. It's one stop shopping! read more

Are you kidding me? This place is overpriced... I ordered a $8 steak and cheese and felt robbed... Never again... read more
