| - Having lived in New Jersey in the past, I've always been intrigued by the small "Hoagies" sign above the liquor store it is in. Finally, I remembered it when trying to figure out what to do for dinner and was not in the least disappointed.
I was pleasantly surprised walking in that they went through the trouble to put a half wall in between the liquor and the 2 tables with 4 seats in total next to the sandwich counter. Seriously though, the area was clean and frankly, this is exactly what I like to see in a sub shop, just don't plan on having a place to eat there.
They offer a good selection of classic hoagies with all the standard fillings. They also offer some nicer toppings such as fresh mozzarella and pesto which was nice to see. I ordered their Italian. It has capicola, ham, genoa salami, provolone, tomato, onions, mayo, and oil and vinegar. While not an east coast hoagie expert by an means, I've had enough to tell you that this is the real deal. The bread is that nice hearty bread with a substantial but still soft crust. The meats were quality and the mayo, oil, vinegar, and toppings blended to make that perfect classic hoagie taste.
To add to it, the footlong was as substantial as you would hope for it to be and the prices while not super cheap were definitely good for what you get. I have a feeling I will be craving this place again soon.
