Township Deli — Restaurant in Washington Township

Had a Groupon and tried it for the first time. The people working there was friendly and inviting. It took a while for the food to be made. One of the guys preparing my food was eating fries while cooking. The place was a little dirty inside, looked like it needed a little scrubbing and a tad bit of TLC both inside and outside of the place. A roach, yes you heard right, a ROACH ran across right in front of me at the check out counter towards my food. I kept trying to move the food away from it's path and I told the guy, "It looks like you have some friends here." The guy looked horrified and froze because he didn't know what to do. I looked at him like, "ok are you just going to let this roach crawl here on the counter and do nothing about it??" So finally he got a napkin and killed the roach right there on the check out counter near a slicer meant for meat that clearly was last used to cut lettuce. There was shredded lettuce on the check out counter from the meat slicer. After he threw away the dead roach in the napkin he proceeded to finish ringing up my food. At this point I'm trying to be nice but I lost my appetite. He then gave me a free bottled drink I guess because of the whole roach ordeal. After we left my daughter inspected her food and said she didn't see anything so she then started eating her food. I was really hungry so I thought I would try a fry. So by the second fry, I felt something in my mouth so I started to pull at it and it was a long piece of black hair entangled in my French fry. I've never been so grossed out before in my life. I threw away all of my food after that second fry. Not only was the place dirty on the inside, like I said, outside was dirty and not taken care of as well. The landscaping looked like it had not been kept in years. From the outside, judging from the landscaping it kind of looks abandoned. On the side walk coming out of the deli and heading to the parking lot, there is the words, "F@#k you" engraved in really large letters right on the sidewalk. This has been a really bad experience. I would not recommend this place to anyone. It's really sad because I really like supporting local businesses and township businesses. Eat there at your own...

We have been ordering from here for years and even supported them during the pandemic to ensure we did our part to help local small businesses. The mask mandate was lifted in NJ 5/28/21 today we ordered breakfast sandwiches and the store owner flipped out was unprofessional and told us not to come back to his store because we didn’t have a mask. He got defensive and is basically fearful of his customers whom I’m sure the majority of our vaccinated. This is such an awful way to treat your customers who kept you in business. A simple for the safety of my customers and employees I am continuing to keep the mask mandate for my store would have sufficed. You don’t talk to or treat customers in the unprofessional manner he did. Don’t worry we won’t be back and I will be sure to tell everyone in township and all over my social media about the terrible way you think about and treat...

Came here with gf after a Dr. appointment with a mean craving for a real pastrami sandwich that hasn’t been satisfied in months and boy oh boy this place did not disappoint ended up getting their hot pastrami special, and it was perfect the flavors worked so well together everything tasted fresh and they don’t seem to cut any corners! My girlfriend got the turkey and cheese with mayo, lettuce, oil, and oregano and it came exactly how she asked for it. She had no complaints, but coming from the guy who ate the other half wish there was a bit more turkey. As for the staff when we were there there was an older gentleman and 2 ladies one younger and one a bit older. And let me just say super kind people and they had just the right amount of wittiness and humor you want to see. Definitely had that mom and pop shop feel. Uploaded my pictures in the...
