The original sub sandwich chain founded in Hoboken NJ in 1964. This location inside a convenience store has been around for years. Their Tuna salad and the “club sub” are the standouts. Also their location has tons of parking which is hard to find on Morris avenue. It’s been a family owned location for decades so stop in and say hello! - Ash N. Patel
