Food is great. Service is good most days. Occasionally, the service is non existent. Ambiance is perfect for a local deli.
The sloppy Joe's sandwich I had was indeed sloppy and amazing. Alittle too much slaw for me but that's all cool. Going to try there homemade cannolis right now, but I love the old-school ambience of the place and the local neighborhood feeling when you walk in that is very welcoming.
great place for sandwiches, soups and lots of Italian specialty items. check their menu for specialty sandwiches and call ahead if you are in a rush.
Being inside Joe's Deli, I feel like there's a hundred of them in Manhattan that people patronize with more loyalty than a house of worship. Fortunately, we've got one in the cozy confines of Spring Lake, NJ. I love it here. It's a genuine Italian deli, with tons of imported Italian products from sweets and savories to the recipes they serve. The meats are Boar's Head, so you know a good sandwich is happening if you're in the mood for cold cuts. The bread is ridiculously fresh, too. Give the meatball sub a try, the meatballs have cheese inside them, too. Wonderful. I often just buy the meatballs for dinner. I have to say my favorite thing about this place other than the ambience, is the New Jersey classic pork roll, egg, and cheese. Fresh hard roll, two fried eggs, two slices of pork roll, and two slices of American cheese plus salt, pepper, ketchup. Throw in a cup of the drip pot "cawfee", and it makes for a happy morning. It's easy to walk past this place, but they've got music playing outside much of the time featuring some classic opera or the Rat Pack. You could be from New York or New Jersey and really feel at home here, no matter what. They even make a decent cheesesteak, too, if you're in from South Jersey or Philly. A lot of customers are on a first name basis with the staff here and it's easy to see why. Joe's is a staple of the community and should be a regular stop for any local or a must stop by for anyone in the area. What else can I say but drop the classic line, Eat At Joe's. (I write 5-star reviews and ONLY 5-star reviews)
Fantastic sandwich (cutlets, prosciutto, mozz, arugula, red peppers) side of balsamic on the hero. Good price and better size. Woman who rung me up was so friendly. Highly recommend!
Perhaps it's 'controversial' in this area to say this, but Joe's is the best deli around here. Lived with the in-laws in sea Girt for about a month during Covid, and came here multiple times a week. It's truly perfection as far as deli food goes. It's hard for me to pick, but my top two sandwiches are the awesome Dawson (Cutlet, cheese bacon and honey mustard) or the italian sun. Never had anything bad here so you can't go wrong. Lots of delis around, this is the best.
