According to NJ.com, Hoagitos is adding a store on Rt. 35 in Oakhurst. I’ve never been, but a few friends of mine are fans… will have to give it a try.
I was at the Belmar location once. I thought it was a big meh for a little sandwich.
Good to know!
While sitting at the bar at Jimmy’s last night, I was informed that a Total Wine will be opening at the intersection of 35 and 36 in that strip mall where the bed bath and beyond is.
I don’t recall seeing anything about that on here

That place is absolutely ridiculous but it is something I think everyone should try at least once. Spaghetti and fried chicken drive thru!!! Where else can you get that?

So I found this in the Coupon Clipper about Zoni’s on Rt 35 in Middletown:
We all like to brag, but better than Una Pizza, Rosie’s, even Frankie Fed’s? Still I’m all for free pizza. Has anyone been?

This is only a few miles from me, so we went on Thursday. As you may have guessed from my profile picture, 
I am not Jewish so don’t claim to be an expert on this cuisine, but I liked it. I had the reuben with pastrami. The pastrami was on the fatty side, but I am a glutton so like the fatty meat cuts. There was a fair amount of meat (though nothing like Harold’s) and I only ate half the sandwhich. My husband doesn’t care for pastrami or corned beef, so he had a tuna salad sandwich with Malaysian sambal. (They do have burgers, breakfasts and a few other things for weirdos like him). I also had a chocolate egg cream.
Stockon has VERY limited parking, so I suggest you go early during the week (they are open Thursday - Sunday). There were lots of cars with out of state plates, and lots of older people coming in escorted by their adult children. It was fairly busy on Thursday with maybe 10 people waiting in line to order at a given time, but you take a number upon arrival and they got through the line pretty quickly.
As expected with a new restaurant, there are some kinks with the service that need to be worked out. I was disappointed to see that the current menu does not include a side salad with each sandwhich (the pre-opening menu gave a choice of potato, macaroni, or health salad) and we only received 1 pickle with 2 sandwiches. Someone was walking around handing out dessert samples and Chef was stopping by tables to ask how people liked the food, so they are trying and I’m sure will get better.
It is a little pricey for what you get ($20 for a reuben, $14 for tuna sandwhich, and $5 for egg cream) but the Stockton Market in general is pricey and the owners obviously invested a lot of money in remodeling the space. I want to go again and try some of the smoked and cured salmon varieties as well as their soups, but will wait until all the out of towners have had their fill.
