Town Hall Deli

This place is worth the drive wherever you are, you must visit Town Hall Deli – the birthplace of the New Jersey Sloppy Joe since 1927. I finally made it after hearing about this legendary spot, and it did not disappoint. The bread in the Reuben was amazing and the bread stole the show, best texture and flavor of any bread I’ve ever had. Staff is friendly and most importantly they honor all first responders with department patches on the wall. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, Town Hall Deli is a must-try for any sandwich lover. Five stars all the way – I’ll be back for the full Joe next time!”

This will be my last time EVER coming here. I’ve been here twice before. Each time I ordered the same thing, the same way. I get a turkey sandwich with mayo, lettuce, cucumber, onion, oil/vinegar & pepper (the spice) with a bag of sea salt kettle chips. On 3/29, I was charged $10. Today, I was charged, $20.11. I was extremely confused by the price, so I asked her why the sandwich was so expensive. She asked me what kind of turkey I got. I’d never been asked that before. I told her I’d just asked for a turkey sandwich. Then, she asked the woman behind the counter what turkey she gave me. Apparently, the woman behind the counter took it upon herself to give me the MOST EXPENSIVE TURKEY on the menu board, without asking. Now I’ve worked in food service before. Never have I EVER just GIVEN a customer the most expensive option without asking first. That’s absolutely insane. So let this be your warning. Unless you want to pay $20 for a short sub, specify literally any turkey that is NOT store made. It will save your wallet and your taste buds. Canned tuna has more flavor than what I got today… even with the chips.

I love a good Jewish sloppy joe and was told I had to try this place since they are the “original” sloppy. I didn’t see my favorite kind- a pastrami and turkey sloppy- on the menu so I had to special order it at the counter. I also didn’t realize they add cheese to it (cue my shocked face) and my husband pointed it out as they were making it and I had to ask them to remove it. It’s not a Reuben it’s a sloppy! The sandwich overall was decent but steep at $19 for not that much meat. They are meticulous at constructing the sandwich and the Cole slaw and Russian dressing were perfect and I like that there was 2 pickles on the side per person. But I wouldn’t come back here for that. The pastrami was so skimpy compared to the turkey and just wasn’t as good as Deli king by a mile. My husband got a pineapple habanero chicken sandwich that he loved. If you’re coming here for a sloppy Joe, skip it and just go to deli king. You’ll thank me later.

You can get decent food but there is literally no customer service. You walk in to the pick up section and they look at you before some finally decides to acknowledge your presence. And you can almost forget doing an online order as they barely pay attention to the orerders that come in. You come in to pick up and then they find the order and start it. What was the point of ordering before I arrived? 2 stars for decent food but it would be nice to be treated like a paying customer.

My husband brought me a grilled chicken sub. It’s the best I’ve had this year. The sliced chicken is well seasoned, love the white onions and the balsamic is so good.

I came here for a sloppy joe thinkin I would get some chili on a potato bun. Nope. The place that made the the sloppy joe famous is not the sloppy you’re thinkin of. This is just a double decker thing. That was authentic. I like the bread. Def left a mark. I like how they chop it in 4 pieces. I got mine w pastrami instead of roast beef. It was ok. Def not running back.

I’ve been this establishment on many occasions but now I am never going back. The food is okay, definitely not worth the price. On multiple occasions I’ve been served undercooked bacon. The cakes in the fridge taste like they have been there forever. Plus the staff ignores you or treats you like you’re stupid. Tried to give this place a chance but they just didn’t want me as a customer.

Had the New Jersey Sloppy Joe, it was absolutely amazing. It was worth every single cent. This sandwich came with a layer of pork, I had it removed. It tastes great. The staff was very friendly, attentive and patient with indecisive persons (me). The seating area was clean and bright with natural light. It was overall a wonderful experience. Ten out of ten would recommend.

Definitely fresh food, just wasn’t a fan of the dressing and coleslaw too sweet for me and the dressing tasted more like ketchup idk if that goes with this type of sandwich. However There’s so many options that I would come back again and try something else.

Great service. Delicious sandwich and salad. Nostalgic environment
