Disclaimer to my review: my sandwich was very good.

This place is wildly, unethically, over priced. I normally am okay spending money on food as I understand the cost of goods, restaurant price model and lack of profit in the restaurant world. However, this is a deli. I own and operate 3 quick service restaurants that sell wild sushi grade number 2 blue fin tuna that I don’t charge this much for.

I also understand the way things are in current America and the stresses we are under with how expensive things are with inflation, YET I can not understand the price for 1 “half” sandwich that does not contain pricey ingredients or even fresh vegetables and fruit. Not homemade bread, cheese, cabbage, canned tuna fish…

Story from today: This was also my first time here anyways so I handed the cashier a credit card however their credit card machine wasn’t working. I was forced to use the atm which was a $2.75 charge. So right there I was down that amount of money. I handed the cashier my $20 thinking that was enough for my Reuben “half” with no meat just tuna salad sandwich (rye bread, coleslaw, Swiss and russian dressing), chips and an ice tea. She then says “oh the chips & drink are on me for the trouble.” Wow thank you! That was very kind. She then hands me back a few cents from my $20 and I am confused thinking she took back her initial statement because I said oh no problem at all you don’t have to do that…I then went on to ask “wait how much was the sandwich” she said $19xyz with tax. With drink and chips this would have been $30+ easily…..

Needless to say I am completely and utterly perplexed that a tuna sandwich could ever possibly cost this much money, not even in NYC, not anywhere & definitely not South Orange, NJ. I was beyond and I even said are you sure multiple times, and then said that was the most expensive sandwich I have ever bought.
