Millburn Deli Makes Best Sandwich Shop List

MILLBURN, NJ - When it comes to sandwiches, Millburn residents don't have far to travel to find some of the best in the nation according to Thrillist.

The Millburn Deli made the cut of the 33 best sandwich shops in America. The site notes that they've largely foregone chains and retired "quite a few classics into the sandwich hall of fame."

Here is what they said about Millburn Deli:

In a state practically drowning in a sea of mom-and-pop delicatessens -- each one claiming to be the sandwich king of New Jersey -- Millburn Deli has crafted a legacy that stretches far beyond the Garden State lines. When you go to Millburn Deli, a tiny storefront on the ground floor of what could easily be your grandma's house, you definitely go for the sandwiches it's been slinging since 1947. And even though the shop changed hands in the early '90s, the Fluke family has upheld the deli's tradition as a place for consistent local cheer and even more consistent(ly delicious) sloppy Joes. Now, these probably aren't the "sloppy Joes" that conjure images of lunch lady Doris slapping ground beef and tomato sauce into a kaiser roll. They're triple-decker sandwiches stuffed with various combos of turkey, corned beef, roast beef, Virginia ham, and pretty much every other meat variation known to man... or at least Jersey. And lucky you, they'll deliver them all over the US. Good luck getting the mailman to speak in a Jersey accent, though."

According to their website, they've been perfecting our sandwiches since 1946, but consider themselves lifelong learners when it comes to making great food. They said they are constantly experimenting and pushing the limit, trying out new things to make sure the menu evolves while keeping the old classics just as they are.

So the secret is out about Millburn Deli. What is your favorite go-to when you stop by?
