"AGAMIES was the first Italian deli I had when I moved to Clifton in "98" that sandwich was the "Sloppy Joe" still my favorite and my goto chicken salad on a long roll. All fresh soups and deli meats are top quality as is the service provided served with a smile and how have you been. Love this place"
"Agamie’s is consistently the best compared to other local spots. I’ve been impressed with everything I’ve ordered — the prices are fair, the portions are generous, and everything has been delicious. I recently ordered a similar breakfast from another local place and felt overcharged for the amount of food I received. A few days later, I ordered the same meal (pancakes and a three-egg breakfast) from Agamie’s, and the portion fed three of us. I’ve also loved their salads, the Agamie sandwich, and their pasta and bean soup is my absolute favorite anywhere. I crave it at least once a week. You guys are truly awesome. I hope you never leave Clifton!"

"We had the the #25 Fresh Mozzarella, Sun-Dried Tomato, Roasted Red Pepper, & Arugula and #3 Italian Hero. Both 10 out of 10. Best sandwiches on the most incredible bread in NJ!!"
"Do not order the Eggplant Parm sandwich. It had to be the worst eggplant sandwich I've ever eaten or tried to eat. The eggplant itself was old, full of seeds. They do not peel their eggplant. Little or no breading. It is cut in lengthwise pieces, not cutlets and there was absolutely no mozzarella cheese on the sandwich. I called to inquire and was told they make half trays of the eggplant and just cut pieces off for the sandwiches therefore I may have not gotten the cheese. It was just terrible. They said sorry about that,. Great customer service. You can't eat eggplant that's full of seeds. Literally it was like mush on a roll with seeds everywhere."

"When most of the diners around the area plummeted in their food quality because of flation and post pandemic food depression, I was so happy and surprised that they haven't here. Their portions are generous and they use clean oil. The Cheeseburger was perfect. The bun they use is high restaurant quality, the burger meat was cooked right, it's fresh, juicy, and meaty. It came with 2 big slices of juicy red tomatoes and actual fresh green leafy lettuce, not the cheap iceberg kind everybody uses. The Prime Rib French Dip was generously portioned with piled high meat and cheese. The only issue I had with this that it was very salty. The bread was soft and crusty on the outside. Wonderful texture and flavor. The fries were great, you can tell that they clean their oil daily because the fries looked clean and not tanned from old oil. You can also smell and taste that the fries were not over fried. Everywhere else always over fry and over salt it too much. I like how they didn't do that here. Awesome. The Mashed Potato was a pleasant surprise. It's actual hand mashed little red potatoes! Loved it. This is my personal new favorite diner now. Thank you for keeping the prices fair but importantly delivering on quality which rarely exists now. Last thing, I really like that they don't over use those one time use plastic containers/packages that are horrible for the environment. "
"Everything was delicious! I got the Eggs Benedict and substituted the Canadian bacon with spinach and feta. One of my all time favorite breakfasts and this place makes it consistently well. We also ordered Brioche French Toast for my son and he loved it. I had a piece too and it was very good. I was nervous about having this delivered since I always do pickup, but the food was warm and as delicious as ever."

"Ordered two gyros early like 6 in the morning with special instructions and they follow them all perfectly. Some of the best gyros Ives had, gonna definitely order again alot "
"I have to say that I was a little disappointed. I havent had Quicks in over a year and something clearly has changed. The Philly Cheese Steak was not the same. The meat was shoved into one side of the bread so half my sandwich was empty. It was skimpy and not as flavorful as times in the past. Hardly any peppers & onions. The Macaroni salad was drenched in so much mayo. This meal was just mediocre today..It didn't hit like the Quicks I know and love. Sorry"

"The food was nothing short of amazing!!! Everything was made and cooked to perfection. The chicken gyro hit all the taste buds. The triple decker Sliced Turkey & Bacon Club was enormous had to save half for later. The kids loved the Tex-Mex Rolls. And the dessert <3 FRESH STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE Napoleon Oreo Truffle was so fresh and delicious. Topped off with Bam Bam Milkshake and Mocha Mudslide milkshake. I could rave about this place all day and night!!!"
"I ordered often and before covid dined at the diner way before it was west essex. The chicken sliders were prepared sloppy and unappealing. Slider rolls are small , therefore the filling to he a compatible size. The chicken cutlets were cut in sizes that were not only to large for the bun but unattractive. The tomato and lettuce were obviously cut for a full size bun and because of the take out container, they were soggy. They should have been packed separately. I asked for crispy fries. they were soggy as well from the container. they should have been placed in a container that had holes to keep them crispy!"
