Cooper's Deli — Restaurant in Linden

This is my second time going to this location in Linden and the first time I went there last year of 2024 I can actually say the pastrami sandwich was really good. It was a nice size and it was worth it and the desserts were excellent, but today, which is February 21, 2025. I had the worst sandwich me and my husband went there, and the pastrami was wet. It was soggy so when I opened it up soon as I left out of the store, we sat in the car to eat our sandwich and the bread was soggy and I tried my best to eat it. I ate most of it because I paid $20 for it so I was trying to eat it, but I did the best that I could, but there was a lot of fat on it, I couldn't eat the fat so I had to throw some of my sandwich away And it was just horrible and I was like oh my goodness it wasn't like this the first time , had it been like that the first time I would've never gone back. so looking at all the reviews that I saw I probably would never come back to this location ever again I have plenty of places to go get Pastrami sandwich, I just thought that I would come here and support a local black business, but I would prefer to drive all the way to Edison and get me the best pastrami sandwich ever since the Cooper's in Newark I believe is closed, unless someone knows of another location, but I don't think I'm coming back here because it's too many bad reviews. I probably only read one good review. I'm not wasting anymore of my money here it's just horrible. You know my stomach was already messed up. And what is it with the meat being wet? And at the other location in Newark Those sandwiches were always perfect. Every time I ate there, for years never had a problem, never ever, not one day did we ever had a problem with anything. so that is it so I give a negative one but there's not a negative bar so I guess one...

I visited this Linden store and purchased a pastrami sandwich, I was very disappointed with the false advertising of a Cooper's sandwich store at all. The woman stated it was the same before I made my purchase. I continued with my purchase and paid for what I thought was a Cooper's sandwich. This is not an original Cooper sandwich store. They are overpriced and stingy with the fatty pastrami served. It tasted awful because I kept pulling fat out of my mouth. The pickle tasted like a regular jarred dill pickles instead of the original garlic ones served at the Original Cooper's deli in Newark. I was very disappointed with this overpriced sandwich. I was told that this store wasn't Cooper's after I asked about the serving of meat on my sandwich. The guy stated that you get 5 ounces of meat for regular and 7ounces for the large. Then the lady continued to say " They don't give you a lot of meat anymore at that Cooper's anymore. We aren't affiliated with them anymore and they are changing the name soon to Touch 2" . Well I hope they let people know before they purchase another sandwich there because we were Very disappointed! Trim the fat and add more lean meat. Stop overcharging it's not meeting the expectations. If you're going to sell salads there make sure you have the vegetables to complete a salad, if you're going to overprice them too. Lettuce and meat is not considered a chef salad. Very disappointed...

Very bad experience at this new spot in Linden. Do not go there until their until they get there act together. Poorly organized and very slow. Line back up forever. Stood in line for two hours. Ran out of bread then corn beef and pastrami numerous times. Even though the lines were long they kept working at a snail pace. They were suppose to close at 6:00 pm but still had an open door policy. Even though they ran out of everything. They don’t give you receipts for the money you paid. I ordered corn beef and pastrami sandwiches, and paid for it. There was no more corn beef so I requested to cancel it and just give me the 2 pastrami. Instead of giving me $38.00 back I was given $15. So I was short changed. I try to support black businesses but this is no way to run a business. This is the second time I had a bad experience I have had with the only two black businesses I have been to in my area. HORRIBLE !!! GET YOUR...
