My wife and I stopped into Whitehouse General Store for a casual lunch after running a few errands in the area. It has that old-school general store feel when you walk in. Small, cozy, and not trying to be something it's not. There are a few tables if you want to eat there, but it definitely feels like more of a grab-and-go spot. I ordered a half cheesesteak sandwich with peppers and onions while my wife chose a half cheesesteak without. The sandwich was a good size. You have to be very hungry to finish a half. My wife was only able to get through half of her sandwich. Since we were bringing the sandwiches home, we chose not to get any drinks or sides. Prices are reasonable for what you get. Service was friendly and efficient. You order at the counter and they call you when it's ready. No long wait, even with a few people ahead of us. If you're looking for a quick, solid lunch in Whitehouse Station without the chain restaurant feel, this is a good option. We'll definitely be back when we want something simple and well made. read more

Love this local breakfast place. It's really affordable and has a lot of options and ability to customize. The chocolate chip pancakes, omelette and potatoes are phenomenal! The egg sandwich was a bit dry so wouldn't get that again. But love this place and everyone is so kind and attentive! A great local place read more

Whitehouse General Store - 2 Egg on a Kaiser Roll with Bacon and Cheese, Pancakes, 3 Egg Omlette - Delis Near Me - Whitehouse Station, New Jersey

Breakfast sandwiches are weak and expensive. Their roast beef sloppy Joe was pretty good back in the day. Had it again recently being that I am back in the area for a bit. Definitely went downhill since the last time I had it. I had high hopes for this place when they opened years ago. I would say you are better off going to salt and pepper across the way. I will try them again but hope they improve. read more

Today I came here for the first, and last, time. I wanted to try something new on my lunch break for work, and saw all the good reviews for this deli. From the outside, it looked a little neglected, with Christmas decorations still up even though it's month after Christmas. The inside was clean enough, but with dated 1970s decor. Still, these would have been minor things which I could overlook, if this lunchtime deli helped me to achieve my goal: get coffee and a sandwich within my 40 minute window of time. I noticed that the deli case was more than half empty (see photo) so my options were limited. I ordered a liverwurst sandwich on a Kaiser roll, and a cup of coffee. The man working politely informed me that they were out of coffee. This was at 2:15 on a Monday. I asked if he would be brewing a fresh pot, which is something that other delis have a done for me, and seems like a normal thing when a customer asks for coffee. He told me no, they usually run out of coffee around 1 PM, and do not brew anymore after that. He was completely firm on this rule. Coffee at lunch is a requirement for me if I'm going to work through the rest of my shift, so I took my sandwich and ate it in the car while driving to Quick Chek for a coffee. The liverwurst was fine, the Kaiser roll was stale. I cannot come back here because I do not have time to stop at one place for coffee and a second place for lunch. read more

Whitehouse General Store - Front porch - Delis Near Me - Whitehouse Station, New Jersey

I work in Whitehouse and have ordered grilled chicken Sandwiches up and down Rt 22. I am so glad I found this place! I ordered a grilled Chicken Sandwich on a kaiser roll, plain with lettuce and Tomato. When I got to the store they were cooking my chicken FRESH on the grill without a ton of salt. The sandwich was Perfect! I'll be getting my lunches here from now on. Thank you!!!! read more

Extremely friendly people and good traditional comfort food. Reasonably priced as well. Lots of seating inside and outside.

i am so happy this place was recommended to me. I have lived here for 12 years and never knew this place was here until a local business recommended I try it. I took my kids for lunch takeout and was the best breakfast sandwich's we ever had. It is a charming country deli, and we will certainly be back. read more

Food is good, cute environment. Great place for bikers to stop for a break. Service is quick.

The food here is made fresh and the staff is amazing. I started coming here during the lockdown and it has never disappointed. The specials change every day. The small town shop survives and I am happy to be a customer. read more

We have eaten here a couple of times and each time it has been delicious! 2 sandwiches, 2 drinks, fries and onion rights right around 20.00. Food all tastes excellent! read more

This place is a treasure. It's on a back road in a sleepy little town, but I just love the place. The food quality is mint. The owner is patient and friendly. it's kind of like a picnic area indoors, but there are maybe four tables on the front porch that rock in the Spring and Fall for those of us who detest the hot weather. The worst thing I can say about the place is it's a little pricey, but it's worth every cent. There is a big sign on Route 22 that says DELI in front of what I believe is a post office, but I've never been in there. I'm surprised anybody ever hears about it. You want to promote the place, but then it wouldn't be your little secret either would it? Whenever I see my eye doctor or have business east of Whitehouse near the lunch hour I always make it my business to get in there. It's not nearly often enough. I generally get the tuna melt with tomatoes or the reuben, but today I had the best cheeseburger club I can ever remember. The place just rocks. End of story... read more

Nice country store kitchen with breakfast sandwiches and looked like a nice deli too. Friendly, timely service and easy to get to. Worth a try to compare with bagel shops in the area. They didn't have bagels, but it was good on toast. read more

A nice simple deli menu. Very relaxed eating experience. On a good weather day, grab a table on the porch outside, and enjoy being in the country town. read more

I am sad to report that weekend breakfast at WGS is not what it used to be. The main difference is the food. It used to be made with a foodie flare, now, at best it is average, and on some days less than average. The service is grumpy and the place lacks the community feel it once possessed. The owner is a nice lady. Maybe she needs to be a more frequent presence on the weekends. There are now better options nearby. read more

We've been here twice now. Breakfast was solid, but lunch was better still. The tuna melts were especially yummy!

4 out of 5 since the only thing lacking was more gluten free options. They were very sweet in accommodating me by preparing a deconstructed chicken gyro & even offering extra avocado on the side. Thanks so much guys! Good quality ingredients and we got served fast. Friendly staff checked on us to make sure we were ok. My husband had the chicken parmigiana which he rated 8 out of 10 saying the only thing that would make it a 10 would be better tasting bread. Bathrooms could be a little cleaner but overall - we'd definitely come back again. read more

Excellent, convenient food. Friendly service. Great for a quick stop or for daily breakfast or lunch.

Nice and cozy place for breakfast in the cold winter. Its decorated with Christmas stuff. Food is pretty standard, but the atmosphere is great. Feels great by just sitting here. We will come again... read more

Lovely little old school place, the people are friendly and the food is yummy. For a while I was being lazy and just going to Quikcheck all of the time because I just couldn't get it together to find another place to get a simple sandwich and then finally wandered into this place. I prefer to support small businesses so it feels good to come here for a lot of reasons, not just the food! :) read more

I work not far from the restaurant and have been there at least ten times over the past year or so. The food is made to order and is always fresh and delicious. They always have a great selection of specials from the healthy to the not so healthy. If you feel like splurging get the French fries, cooked perfectly and piping hot. The sloppy joe is always yummy too. Prices are reasonable too. read more

Definitely like an old world spot. Me bacon, egg and cheese was yummy. Coffee and tea were good too.

A great little place where the food is good and the prices are fair. Only thing keeping me from 5 stars is the cooks are unfriendly and they don't seem to be able to multi-task which results in a wait for the food. But I will definitely be back ! read more

Great breakfast sandwiches the porkroll is sliced supper thin ,the menu is very basic but every thing we have tried was good

This store was recently taken over by Tommy D. who is best known for his pizzeria down the road. Ordered lunch there today for the office all 7 co workers really enjoyed all the sandwiches!! read more

great place, a little out of the way but worth the slight detour off the highway. Loved their eggplant parmesan sandwich. If you are going for lunch just a warning that it gets really busy during that peak hour - another way of saying just how good their food is. read more

This place has been around forever. It feels like you are in an old general store. They have parking in the front and seating inside. It is great for coffee and food read more

Quietly hidden in Lebanon on Main Street Got a tasty sub piled high with meat. Generous portions and good prices.

This was a great find, it's behind the post office in Whitehouse. They have a great selection of sandwiches with generous portions and good prices. I've had their cheesesteaks, paninies, and wraps, you can't go wrong here! read more

Great place to stop in the morning. It is conveniently located near the train station. So I grab coffee and a quick breakfast on my way to work. Nice people and good food. read more

I moved into this little slice of Americana called Whitehouse 2 years ago. While I was renovating my late 19th C house I had no kitchen. I immediately found myself at the General Store every day. As a vegetarian I gravitated to egg and cheese sandwiches and within the first week of reno the entire staff knew my voice on the phone and my "regular" order by heart. The entire staff is welcoming and friendly. The food is always fresh, made to order and ready for me to pick up as I get my mail from the adjoining USPS office. As the staff already knows, even after 2 years with a stove, I still get my breakfast or lunch here just as many days of the week as when I didn't have a stove! There is no better way to enjoy a fresh sandwich and a cup of fresh coffee than to sit out on the front porch or side patio and watch the cyclists pass by. read more

They used to be good, but not anymore....They new owner has 2 new cooks, both of them barely understands the English language maybe INS should visit them.... Wife and I got 2 egg sandwiches with bacon and we both got sick the next day....maybe food poisoning? Maybe a bug going around not sure...just to give it a fair try; we ate there again the next saturday....Same issue, we both got sick. Forget about it!!! Never going back.... read more

My husband and I both wfh and were looking for a new lunch option. Since our previous favorite deli has gone seriously downhill, we tried out the Whitehouse General Store, and are now kicking ourselves for taking so long! The location is convenient - if you can't find the "main" entrance, you can pull in directly from Route 22 and park on the other side of the building. The place is very clean and all the employees clearly take pride in their work. They have a broad menu - something for everyone and every mood - and everything we've tried has been delicious. I'm a picky eater and they've always accommodated my special requests no problem. Bonus points: you can order online! And after 2 online orders the woman at the counter learned my name and now addresses me like an old friend. If they had just a teensy bit more space to wait for orders at peak lunch time, it would be totally perfect, but I can't really complain that it's a popular place! read more

I love the food and the friendly service coupled with a general store atmosphere but with all the updated conveniences. The subs are always on the freshest bread and made with quality deli meats. When I am working in the area this is always my "go to" spot for lunch. read more

I work near the Whitehouse General Store and have gone there for lunch either take out or eat in and it is friendly, clean, quaint and the food is tasty. So far I have tried a burger, chicken cheesesteak wrap, fish and chips, grilled chicken sandwich and all of it was YUMMY! So much so that I make sure to frequent a few times a month as there are other items I want to try. They even have fried bologna I haven't tried it but someone ordered it while I was there and raved about it. Also, they have daily lunch specials at great prices that will keep you coming back for more. The food is made to order and if you eat in they bring it to your table...great service!!! Oh and if you get there early enough you can grab a table outside but those are usually taken with the weather getting warmer. read more

Had lunch on the porch with my husband and worker..all 3 of us got different food and everyone one of us loved our food..they give you a lot of food a great prices..the staff was very friendly and made us feel like we were their a million times read more
