Chris’ Delicatessen & Liquors

Looks can be deceiving. From the outside, it looks like one of those busy NJ delis you HAVE to visit. When you get inside, I concur with the other commenters, it is a bit scary with bare shelves, old looking alcohol for sale, no coffee, etc. The lady who is there is quiet but not unpleasant.
But let’s break it down, I come to a deli for the food, not the atmosphere. And I have to say, the bacon, egg, and cheeses I’ve had from here have knocked my socks off. Absolutely delicious. Perfectly cooked scrambled egg that stays in the sandwich, yummy, good amount of bacon, but the highlights are the obviously-​baked-​and-​delivered-​this-​morning round roll, and the gooey, tart, tangy, tasty white American cheese. I would say this place is probably second right now on my Bacon Egg and Cheese rankings, behind only the mighty Butler’s Pantry in Far Hills, NJ.
I am going to overlook the strange ambiance and quiet service and instead grade a deli on what it should be graded on: the food.
FIVE STARS.

Once was good, now scary. Few customers and bare shelves.
