Watchung Delicatessen

My husband suggested eating here for lunch since they make the sandwiches for the fire depart. union hall. It was delicious! The chicken on my sandwich was sliced so thin and the German potato salad was the best I've ever had. Great place- will be returning.

Meh. Picked up a liverwurst sandwich and a macaroni salad. Sandwich meat tasted like it was on the turn. Macaroni salad ok but again, maybe on the turn since it was a Friday. Staff slow and not very friendly. The one girl comes across as if serving you is an inconvenience. Not my first visit but staff experience was about the same. Sad that people can’t smile anymore.

This once well run establishment is now obviously run by high school or college age kids who have no idea how to take orders and delegate their time to different stations. They either need to train their employees or hire more competent workers. I’ve been going to this place for most of my life and have no desire to return based on the fact that I was ignored in the phone for almost five minutes, then attempted to call again and again only to be ignored. Seriously?

I've been coming here for years and loving it. Went today at 3pm and left before ordering after a twenty minute wait. Two surly employees behind the counter were loudly complaining every time another customer entered. Clearly dragging their feet with zero regard for the line of ten potential customers waiting. Will be returning but NOT on a Sunday.

Went here on 11/13 and was served a sandwich with the most rotten avocado I’ve ever seen. Completely brown and rotten, ended up having to throw the sandwich in the trash. Very disappointed.

Pete the owner is amazing and they whole staff is awesome. The food was great. For 4 ladies from the country they helped make the girls trip the best. Would come back to just visit them anytime.

Ordered the famously classic "Angry Dwarf Sandwich". When we got home and started eating with a bag of Lays Potato chips like we used to do a few years ago, we were very disappointed, it didn't have the same kick. Basically it was made with plain Turkey, not the Sasallito turkey like we enjoyed years ago. Watchung Deli is no longer our go to place we can make a better Angry Dwarf at home, not worth the trip to "Warchung Deli"

Everything is delicious, and high-quality, and the prices are pretty good. Sometimes they have really long waits and the staff doesn’t seem to hustle with it. I guess it’s to preserve quality though.

Pretty good deli - just moved to the area and checked this place out. Only had Pork Roll sandwiches and they were pretty good and well priced.

Old owners were great, new ownership isn't up to par. The place is being gutted of all employees and items. It just isn't what it used to be. Look elsewhere for satisfying food.
