Irv and Karens is the best deli in New Jersey! To name a few of their outstanding items: pastrami sandwich, Reuben, the best matzoh ball soup, salami and cheese omelet. Love this place you can't go wrong!

Our first couple deliveries from this place wasn't great and the food was so/so, however, we continued to order from them mainly because of their friendliness. I am so glad we decided to continue to use them. The food is spectacular. Better than m ...

This place is hard to find, but it's notably next to the adult store on Chambersbridge. Complete takeout/delivery place that sells a combination of Chinese, Japanese and Thai food. Haven't tried the Thai, but the Chinese and Japanese food is as g ...

Nothing like a good deli sandwich! Their pastrami and corned beef are super on the delicious thinly sliced rye bread. Only thing I miss is they use to put a salad tray with pickles on table in Toms River and they don't do that in their new location. Still the best sandwiches in the area.

I don't know what the negative comments are all about. I eat here all the time and have become addicted to their #1 sandwich (it's just awesome) Whenever friends from out of town visit we go straight to Irv & Karens. Food is fresh, best potato salad EVER can't beat their breakfast specials and I think the staff is friendly and great. The only complaint I will ever have of this place is what it will eventualy do to my waistline. Order a specialty sandwich and see if you dont think it is one of the best you have ever had.

cream of mushroom soup - fake mushrooms = fake taste

pastrami - tender but fatty as hell

NO TOASTED RYE BREAD???? R U Serious? at a deli?

This is the best Pastrami bar none in NJ, and thier fresh home baked rye bread is just phenomenal. Location just changed to Brick, NJ on 88. If you check it out, you will undoubtedly be back.

Long, narrow, strip-mall location featuring good New York-style deli items. Open at 8:00 AM serving good breakfast items. Try the home-made corned-beef hash. Lunch specials and good sandwiches (pastrami, corned beef, fresh-roasted turkey) Not open for dinner and closed on Sundays.
