    The Big Bad Wolf- carve off the bone ham
    Jacklyn P.

    After a long morning working from home, my partner and I decided to head out for lunch in Leonia, NJ. We had a few errands to run and wanted something quick, but not the usual Chipotle or fast food. Craving Korean fried chicken, we wandered around reading menus posted in windows, but nothing jumped out. Until we stumbled across Wolf It, a retro sandwich shop. At first glance, the sign made me laugh. it looked like it had a few beer barrels, but they turned out to be pickle barrels. Initially I thought it was a bit misleading, but actually, it's kind of brilliant. From the outside you might not expect much, but once you step inside, you're pleasantly surprised. The vibe is straight out of the 50s-70s, cozy and nostalgic. Since it was lunch, we went with their $10 special: 1/2 sandwich with homemade soup or salad. Yes, you read that right, ten bucks for a full lunch. The menu is stacked with sandwich options, but I landed on the Highwood (carved prime rib, brie, tomato, sautéed onions, and horseradish sauce). I'd give it an 7.6/10. My sides: a fresh garden salad and an orange cream soda. My partner went with the Big Bad Wolf (carved-off-the-bone ham, shredded lettuce, tomato, avocado, chipotle mayo, and house vinaigrette). I rated it a 9.5/10. He paired it with chicken soup and a green apple soda. We decided to swap a few bites in through. his sandwich was so good I had to claiming it. The owner was incredibly welcoming, even telling us, "You always have a place here. come anytime." And honestly, we definitely will. For $10, the portions are generous, plenty of meat, fresh ingredients, and tons of flavor. The retro decor adds to the charm, and they even have milkshakes on the menu (next time for sure). Overall, a solid 8.5/10 experience. If you're in Leonia and craving something hearty, affordable, and unique, Wolf It is worth a stop!

    I have seen this spot before while just searching thru Yelp and I'm glad my friend suggested we eat at this spot Friday afternoon. I ended up getting the regular #7 Allaire ($14.50) which is a grilled chicken sandwich with fresh mozzarella, sun dried tomatoes, broccoli raab, oil and balsamic vinegar. It was tasty and the bread was fresh. Solid sandwich. Solid sandwich spot, I would recommend if you're in the mood for it and in the area. * Street parking and free parking lot nearby * Lunch special $10.50. Pick two: half sandwich, salad and soup of the day

    Nice to have a sandwich place in town! May not be the best place to go on Saturday. On my first visit I learned that there were no pork products (I don't think they had the lamb either). Not sure if that's still the case though. We had the Highland. They didn't fully make it based on the description. They added the fig jam, which is typically on the Pailin. The sweetness kind of threw off the flavor. On my next visit I ordered a full of the Highwood. When you order a full they essentially give you two sandwiches. It's not one large load cut in half. This sandwich was okay. Definitely lacking in flavor. There was not much meat and the meat was good! The Brie didn't really seem to work with the sandwich. It could've used more onions and horseradish sauce along with more meat. There's potential. You can dine in and there are a few tables outside.

    A cute cafe with sandwiches, shakes, salads. All the sandwiches are named after Leonia streets. My sandwich (Allaire) was tasted fresh and my OJ was freshly squeezed. Love seeing new restaurants open in this town. Will definitely be back next weekend!

    15. Oaktree Sandwich
    Stella P.

    So glad we found this local place! Ordered the Oaktree sandwich and it was delicious. Exactly what I was craving and the bread had the perfect texture (not too soft and not too hard). I don't like it when you get a sub and by the time you get home the bread is all soggy. This sub was delicious and ingredients tasted fresh. Will definitely come back and support our local business!

    Amazing service & food! We were visiting from out of town and wanted an authentic family style sandwich shop - and this was perfect! The staff was all very pleasant and the food was 10/10!

    #17 Van Orden - picture doesn't do it justice. I could TASTE each meat which combined to a flavor explosion
    Barry R.

    We now have a wonderful sandwich shop in town. Puts the franchises to shame. Let's start with the bread. Some are served on what I will call a focaccia. Just the right amount of chew and full of flavor. Others are served on a crisp baguette, crisp crust and fluffy crumb. Now the fillings 27 varieties of proteins and cheeses. When was the last time you saw pork loin on a sandwich menu. It was heavenly. Roast beef was tender and tasty with just the correct amount of horseradish spread and the addition of egg salad to the sandwich put it top of my list. The #17, Van Orden is the "Italian" sub that mocks everyone else's. Find parking in public lot behind store. The interior is cute with a few table. But get it to go and walk down a block and enjoy under a tree in the sculpture garden or down Fort Lee Rd to Overpeck park.

    Highwood !

    Generally don't give 5 stars anymore but Wolf It is deserving of it. Randomly found this spot and the menu looked interesting so we grabbed a few sandwiches. I had the Grandview , it's a take on a Cuban and they really got it right. Will definitely have this again and highly recommend it. Wife had the Highwood and she was vet happy with her choice. I had a bite and loved it. My son had a turkey and cheese (which they made exactly as he wanted) was delicious. Excited to explore the menu as there are a some delicious sounding choices.

    Awesome little sandwich shop with great bread, coffee, smoothies and salads. The owner Ron is really friendly and makes everyone feel welcome. They have a cozy seating area if you want to dine in and tables outside in the Spring/Summer. I love this place, I'll definitely be back.

    Best sandwiches in Jersey. Bread is high-quality with lots of fillings. A half sandwich was enough for 2 people.

    Where is there outdoor seating?

    There is usually a small bistro table right outside the window. However they might have taken it inside due to the constant rain.

    We had the pleasure of having Scott, Chef Vita, and their staff cater our wedding. They were an…read moreexcellent part of our dream team! From the beginning of the process, Scott was responsive and worked with our schedule for the tasting. We were able to make a selection from many dishes and after trying their food we were sold! Especially the NY strip steak with bleu cheese! We received so many compliments on the food and many of our guests even went to compliment the kitchen team themselves! The Balinese chicken turned out to be my favorite, but they were all amazing! They made way more than enough food for everyone and brought containers for our guest and us to take the leftovers home. We love not wasting food! With our budget, we were thinking we could only get a decent caterer, but we lucked out with LDV. They are without a doubt one of the best in the business! They catered to our needs and even made suggestions on how to reduce cost. In our case we brought our own drinks for their bartender to serve, which helped reduce cost. This turned out amazing and our bartender, Mark, helped make it a smooth and tipsy night for our guests! Last but not the least, their service was top-notch. They helped with the buffet so people there would be no crowd and made sure everyone got their food in a timely manner and even made plates for my husband and I so we didn't need to take the time! We were ecstatic with the service and it was one of the smoothest parts of the entire wedding. 5-stars all-around.

    When you hire a caterer for a special event you're just taking a risk unless someone you know has…read moreworked with them before. But we didn't have that luxury. Here's why we jumped at the chance to work with Scott and team: - no problem or request was too much - every email or phone call was returned - they kept every commitment: timing, cost, and of course, the food. Now let's get to the food. Word one: abundance. So much variety, all fresh, some surprises (gourmet jerky with a perfect French mustard) perfectly displayed despite the limitations of the space. The passed hors doevres were prepared on site and were delicious, beautifully served, and ample. For reference, this was a wedding cocktail reception for 30 people, Mid day, I would absolutely hire Scott and LDV for a similar event and I would not hesitate to have a full dinner catered under his watchful eye. Note: Scott's staff were professional, poised, and friendly.
