Monterey Gourmet Shop

The food here is really good. You are going to pay a little more but the quality is worth it. The coconut macaroons are amazing.

Disappointed order P7 which was a signature sandwich with previous owner. The menu stated grilled chicken with pesto mayo and the sandwich was sliced chicken with oil and vinegar.

Just not what it used to be, both the whimsy and quality of the old Monterey Gourmet is no longer. Did we have a decent lunch? Sure. But it definitely wasn't anything special. We ordered ahead, not realizing the store was literally empty when we arrived. Despite it being slow, our order was still incorrect. The egg salad was blah, the Sloppy Joe was not a true Sloppy Joe (not a double decker sandwich), the potato salad didn't taste like much of anything and I was unimpressed by the portion sizes. Again, the food was fine but nothing to write home about.

I was surprised by the total sparseness of the place. The prepared food in the deli cases looked pretty good, but there wasn't a whole lot of it. Long story short, I wouldn't be disappointed to eat here again but I wouldn't go out of my way to make it happen either.

My office orders from Monterey Fine Foods all the time. They have a great selection and everybody in my office loves their food. I would definitely recommend them for all your take out and catering needs. Andres and Steve are great to work with while placing your orders.

I was looking for lunch and popped in. Got a Prociutto pannini and a side of macoroni salad. $26. UNBELIEVABLE. Sandwich was fine, very small. I left hungry. No clearly marked restroom. Better food at a better price all around New Jersey. No prices on the menu, should have been enough of a tip to leave before ordering.

I had my son's 1st birthday party catered by Monterey Gourmet this past Sunday, and to say everything was PERFECT is a huge understatement! Not only was the delivery fee completely reasonable, but they were here 15 minutes early, brought everything in for me when I asked, and all of the food was packaged safely and tightly so that nothing had spilt or leaked en route to my house.

The owner was actually the one who delivered my food, and when I tried to tip him, he refused to accept the tip/money because he said the owner cannot accept tip money and said he just hope we enjoy everything. I've been in the restaurant industry myself for over 15 years now, and I can honestly say that NO ONE would be so honest as to abide by that "owner can't accept tips" rule.

So clearly, this establishment is run by honest, genuine, kind and good-hearted people. All the guests LOVED and raved about ALL of the food. The tequila lime shrimp with corn and tortilla chips and the lemon garlic grilled chicken were probably the biggest hits! I had people asking to take some home with them. The ordering experience was also phenomenal- easy, quick, simple, and they provided me with tons of honest suggestions, advice, and detailed information for the 382749364 questions I asked while ordering haha! So, all in all and overall - 100/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Will be using Monterey Gourmet again and again and again for any future catering orders I need for sure! Thanks Monterey Gourmet, you guys killed it!

Best sandwiches in NJ, not even debatable. Amazing and friendly staff and ownership. Plus their catering is to die for. If I lived closer I'd eat here every single day.

Ordered online for a work lunch. Was able to submit the order and pay for it. On arrival they claim to be closed until 3pm. Wouldn't help with the refund. Had to go through customer service. Had to waste time while I'm supposed to be at work. Just a horrible experience. Go to a different location if you can.

Slim pickings around here for a quick & quality lunch. From left to right: (2nd) Corned Beef, Swiss & Sauerkraut (impressed) (3rd) Grilled Chicken Breast & Fresh Mozzarella - Balsamic Vinegar & Red Roasted Peppers The winner: (1st) Filet Mignon w/ Caramelized Onions & Horseradish Sauce (taste better than it looks)

Nice little deli and food location. This place is small and quite pricey but the food is delicious and well worth the splurge. Their eggplant parmesan is excellent!
