Reviews for Hobby's Delicatessen & Restaurant in Newark, NJ

Pastrami with cole slaw & russian dressing was delicious. Meat was very tender & not salty. Staff was attentive & courteous.

I wanted to try this place for a while and finally got around to it. I used the QRcode they have on the doorusing my credit card... which was a good thing. Because they were swarmed with orders. But I got mine when I arrived after placing the order 20 minutesago. I ordered a Pastrami and Turkey with Cole Slaw and Russian Dressing On Rye. It was very good the portion size was why itwas almost $30. It's not a place I would go to weekly because of the price but it's a once in a while tree Read more

Read about this place somewhere, and I just happened to drive by it today. I was lucky to find a parking spot very close. The... place is very clean, and the staff is very friendly. Ordered the pastrami on rye with mustard. The portion was good, notextremely big like some other places, but enough?..the pickles were amazing. The pastrami was delicious! Will come back to tryother items. Read more

Very old school feel. I was there when the lunch crowd was there, it was crowded. Ladies taking orders were courteous ... polite and knowledgeable. Food was DELICIOUS. Read more

Outstanding pastromi sandwich! I thought I had the best across the river in Manhattan. Nope. Hobby's slices their meat thin... which melts in your mouth. Wonderful staff and tips are well welcomed. All is made for take out and you sit yourself at thetables. Check the hours and the Newark Museum is an excellent stop when in the area. Read more

Visited Saturday. Busy afternoon. I remember lunches and parties at Hobby's working for Bambergers. As I entered there was a... kiosk which I was not familiar with. A Karen with ear plugs dismissively told me to use it to order. A young lady( anAngel)asked if I needed help with ordering. Her name is Kim D . She was helpful, knowledgeable of the menu and very polite.Called me mama. I was thankful for her help. Not only did she save me but she saved Karen from a brutal tongue lashing. Thankyou Kim. Many blessings. You deserve a raise and Karen needs to go in the back and take customer service classes. Read more

Two plus years waiting......5 minutes waiting to place my order.....five minutes waiting for my order....15 minutes slowly... savoring the slice of heaven!!!! Had the pastrami and pickle, was going back in for a corned beef but work forced an emergencyon me. Going back today. Read more

Overjoyed for this Newark landmark's re-opening. The sign on the door honestly states test run when I stopped by (limited... hours) as they retrain and test a new ordering system. Pastami with mustard and cole slaw and a big half sour pickle made myorder and I was in and out within 15 minutes. Read more
