The New Natales Deli and Catering

Over the years, I’ve lunched at Natale’s frequently. I’ve been there through at least 3 different ownerships. I’m sad to say that Natale’s is just not what it once was. Today was my last visit. The sandwich I ordered really skimped on ingredients and the bread was not up to par. To top it off, the bathroom was filthy. There are too many nicer places to dine in the area than to keep coming back here.

Ordered a Nat’s special, which I have with oil and vinegar, adding sweet peppers … and get all of 3 sweet peppers put on my sandwich for a charge of 50¢… that’s disappointing.

If I could give this restaurant no stars I would… Do not go there for breakfast or order delivery. What happened to us the other day was ridiculous. We ordered online for delivery. When we received the food, the woman delivering it gave me the box. Closed the door in my face before I could pay her. And she literally «ran away». ?? They had already called before that, saying they ran out of half our order. They didn’t have the bagels we wanted and the drinks. But we were fine changing it to something they had. But since she didn’t collect payment I figured they must have waived the charge. But I was so wrong about that… When we started to eat the bagels were rock hard and burnt… With butter not cream cheese like we asked. They were inedible, the egg sandwich and omelette was runny and not cooked. We ended up throwing all of it away. About 5 hours later I get a call that they NEED a credit card from me. I’m sorry 5 hours later? So I told the manager what happened and I said I rather not pay for the food we didn’t eat. And he said that was fine as long as we pay for the drinks… I said fine and gave him my credit card number. Now looking at my bank statement he literally took off 5 dollars!!! Are you serious? Drinks do not cost $ 26. I’ve never in my life have seen such horrible service. If you want to be treated with such disrespect, then I would recommend this place. Otherwise STAY AWAY!!!

So I’ve eaten here before for lunch — basic «full service» deli with a flattop grill. For lunch it was fine (3.5 stars). However, I stopped in for breakfast today and wow, it may have been the worst bagel I’ve had in years. There wasn’t a huge selection and they only had a handful of bagels of various kinds. The bagel wasn’t stale but it wasn’t particularly fresh either. The outside wasn’t crisp even though it looked like it. In addition, I asked for vegetable cream cheese and they had to make it right there, because all they had was one tub of plain cream cheese.
Now, based on the fact that lunch is perfectly fine, I normally wouldn’t have given just one star, however, the sign says «Natale’s Deli and Bagels» even if the menu and website does not.

This is the best deli around by far! Sloppy joes, clubs, grilled chicken, and cheese steaks rock. The staff is always super friendly too. They also have a guy singing and playing guitar on Fridays… the music is great!

I enjoyed my cheese steak. It was above average considering some of the less tasty ones I’ve has in the area. The bread isn’t amazing but it’s decent. I’m picky about fries, they were pretty good. I also had a really good frosted brownie from here. This was my first time in the place and they were very welcoming and helpful. They also didn’t seem annoyed by some of my finicky requests. I’ll be back for sure because of how convenient it is for me to go there.

Nothing that really makes their food stand out amongst the rest. Not the friendliest, unless of course you are a regular,. .. Overpriced,. .. Long wait, again, unless you are a regular,. .. been here 3 or 4 times meeting friends for lunch,. . not really impressed.

On the surface this is your basic — NJ Boars Head meat style deli doing the normal fare of reasonably priced sandwiches as good as anyone else in the area.
The reason I go here are as follows:
1. The best cheesesteaks in the area — great bread, perfectly cooked meat and done exactly in the Philly style. Nothing fancy just great eats.
2. $ 5.95 CheeseBurger Lunch Special — ½lb of fresh (not frozen) hamburger served on a toasted English muffin with a side of fries. Why every burger made isn’t served on a toasted English muffin baffles me — it is the perfect burger bread. It’s way better than Smashburger and possibly Five Guys (fries are better at Five Guys).
If this place was open for dinner, I’d be there more often.

This is one of my go-​to spots for lunch in Florham Park. The sandwiches are pretty good. I usually go with the Natale’s special (basically an italian sub), but I have gotten other items on the menu. The Natale’s special (when made right) is a very good sandwich.
The only gripe I have with this place is that it can be pretty inconsistent. Depending on who makes the sandwich, the same sandwich can be totally different on separate occasions. I have noticed major changes in the amount of meat they use to even what typles of meat they put on the Special. I find this more funny/​interesting than anything, but they do always use quality ingredients.

I just spent about 10 weeks on assignment right down the road and this place became my regular lunchtime stop. As David M. said, the lunchmeats from place to place are basically the same, and they’re fine here. I haven’t tried anything but Roast Beef or Italian subs or sandwiches, but the settings are fine. Plenty of tables, inside and out. A nice breeze blows through the place. Makes for a nice break from the office when you can get out for a few.
They have signs around offering free wifi, but when you try to connect, the system gives you a pin # to add to the router, granting you access. (What??? Just hire a high school kid to setup your wireless, okay?)
And Slavic, yes you are OCD :)

This is one of my go to spots for lunch. Nothing fancy, just good sandwiches at a very good price. The cheese steaks are a little on the greasy side, but that’s where the flavor comes from. Their burgers are also a little greasy, but if you don’t overdo it, its fine. Their chicken filets are pretty good as well.
Not going to mention their cold cut sandwiches since quality wise, they are pretty much all the same. I’ll just say that you won’t complain about the size, its a decent portion.

I went to this place to get a sub. The lady who took my order went to make my sandwich and used her BARE HANDS. I mean come on, I have no idea where those dirty paws have been. She coulda been pickin her nose, coughing in her hands, handling other people’s dirty money, who knows. Call me OCD but I like to eat at a place that places sanitation standards #1 on their list. I rather eat at a place with mediocre food that’s super clean than a dirty place with amazing food. It’s a turn off man. How can the owner even allow this. I’m shocked.
