Junction Deli

Excellent food made to the way you want it. Everything hot and fresh. Very friendly staff. Like family in there.

Spotted this place while jogging around the neighborhood. For some reason, New Jersey reminds me of diners and I imagine the inside of them to be like Junction Deli. I stopped by at around noon on a Friday and you could see hard work all around the spot. From the cooks, to the servers, to the blue collar hard working Americans having lunch, this place has a grit about it.
The staff is warm and greets you with a smile. They serve breakfast food all day which is always a plus in my book. I had a sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich and they were even kind enough to hook me up with egg whites at no extra charge. We also got the cheesesteak and the macaroni salad. Everything was delicious and they do not skimp on the portions. The food is made to order and prices are very reasonable.
I highly recommend JD for a casual meal while in NJ.

This is a true diner with a short order cook behind the counter whipping up the daily specials plus traditional fare like burgers, fries, etc. From the outside you might not recognize it as an actual place to sit down and eat, but in addition to stools at the counter they have a number of tables. It is not at all fancy, it’s a diner.
The owner/​cook and staff are all friendly whether you’re one of their regulars or someone popping their head in for the first time. Breakfast and sandwiches are great.
There’s parking in front and back.
