New Jersey does delis right. Wherever you go, you can find a fantastic sandwich with the freshest meats and cheeses. But what if you couldn’t find the best, because it was tucked away behind a custard shop? The good news is, that will never happen, because I’m going to tell you exactly where you can find some of the most mouthwatering sandwiches in the state.

Dad's Deli is located just behind the Rita's on N Maple Avenue in Marlton, New Jersey.

While you can see it from the street, it's easy to miss. You don't want to miss it!

Opened in May of 2006, they've been serving up spectacular sandwiches for over a decade.

They were even voted the best deli in South Jersey by SJ magazine!
They've got a sizable menu offering breakfast platters, soups, salads, mozzarella sticks, and more...but you'll want to try the sandwiches.

They're stuffed with fresh, flavorful ingredients and there's always something new to try. You'll find classic subs like meatball parm, turkey, and roast beef, with mini-subs starting at just $5. Depending on how hungry you are, they also offer "regular" and "whole" sizes. You can also find specialty subs including Southwestern Wild Fire (Santa Fe turkey, pepperjack cheese, and fried long hot peppers) and Vegetable Blast (grilled eggplant, asparagus, red peppers, zucchini, yellow squash, and fresh mozzarella).

They've got cold deli sandwiches served on Kaiser rolls or your choice of bread, including seafood salad and a BLT. Hot sandwich options include grilled cheese, hot pastrami and tuna melts...but that's not all. They've got amazing cheese steak sandwiches, 8 oz. burgers and 1/4 pound hot dogs - and that's just the daily menu.

You'll find creative (and budget friendly) daily specials each week. Current specials include a Crispy Chicken BLT (Fried Chicken Tenders, Applewood Smoked Bacon, Leaf Lettuce and Jersey Tomato complemented with our Cajun Mayo and served on a 12 inch Roll) and Kathleen's Wrap (Grilled Chicken, Homemade Jersey Tomato Bruschetta, Fresh Mozzarella Cheese and Spring Mix finished with Balsamic Vinaigrette and served on a Whole Wheat Wrap). It's always fun to see what yummy concoctions they come up with.

Now that we've got sandwiches covered, let's talk about the rest of the menu. You'll enjoy omelettes, buttermilk pancakes, French toast and many other breakfast options. For lunch, go for chicken tenders, wings, Old Bay fries or their original Tarantini Panzarotti.

It has dozens of 5-star reviews on TripAdvisor, so you don’t need to take my word that it’s amazing! Customers rave about the friendly staff and service, just another reason to visit this wonderful local deli. The chili comes highly recommended! One patron says, “If you aren’t looking for it, it’s easy to drive right by. I did for years. Not anymore! The hoagies are excellent.” Excellent! Just be aware that this spot is take out only, though they also offer catering. Find Dad’s Deli in Evesham Township, just behind Rita’s at 135 N Maple Avenue in Marlton. For an entirely different but equally spectacular dining experience, head to this diner and pancake factory in Edgewater.
