Blimpie Base

I give this a three, because I have always enjoyed the sandwiches from this place. They have a variety of meats and cheeses and I just prefer these subs since I feel it’s fresher than others. However, prices have been going up ridiculously. A giant is now $ 12. Whenever I do have a craving, I have to mentally prepare for the bad customer service. Employees have bad attitudes and give a «I don’t want to be here» vibe. So if you’re in the mood for a fresh sub and don’t mind paying a slightly higher price, this is a good option. However, just try to ignore the employees and their conversations about what time they get off work.

Customer service was horrible. They do not accept the older $ 100 bills even though the back still distribute it. Then when I gave then a new $ 100 bill they did not have change for it. What kind of business does not have any change for $ 100. They manage to mess up the only thing you can on a deli sub; the bread taste like it was sitting there for a week. The price are also ridiculous. $ 14 for a sub and a snapple is beyond crazy.

Not the best one out there but blimpies are the only subs I eat and this place does the job! The staff here aren’t the friendliest either.
My go-​to sub: turkey and provolone, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, oil/​vinegar, oregano.
If you’re getting delivery get the oil and vinegar on the side. These guys get soggy within minutes!

This Blimpie location is the hands down best!!! I’ve been going here since I was a kid, and they’re just as good now as they were then. Every year, they were my field trip sandwich of choice!
1. Plenty of meat and cheese on their sandwiches. They don’t skimp!
2. Great prices considering the size of their sandwiches. Perfect for sharing!
3. They’re quick and efficient. If you know what you want, you can get a sandwich in 60 seconds flat (from ordering to wrapping and bagging).
4. If you don’t want a soggy sandwich, they can put the oil and vinegar into a little to-​go container for you. Just ask.

I love this place! This is an ORIGINAL BLIMPIE BASE and they dont even use any blimpie logo wrapping on their sandwiches. BUt they are hands down the best Blimpie I been to in the area. My favorite is the Blimpie Best and everything is fresh. The sandwiches are preety big if you order the large, it can definitely feed 2 people easily.

This is not for people looking for a franchise… not subway that is down the block. This place is like coming home. Places on Central Ave change with all influx of Brooklyn coming in on each corner but this still feels the same as when I was five years old and my dad would take me to lunch on his day off. Delivery orders come in at all times from open to closing. As for staff, talk to them ask them how the day is going… not just place an order. Turn over of food is high so everything I have always found fresh. What keeps me coming back great subs!

This is was my first time eating at Blimpie and it actually inspired my first post on Unilocal!Ordered the Blimpie Best, for that I give 5 stars. It had a excellent taste, especially for it being a basic sandwich.
Reason for the 4 stars is because the lady that started our order, began making it, then the phone rang and with her gloves on answer phone then walks away. Didn’t tell any other worker what we ordered or anything. Other worker came up, picked up immediately where she left off, thankfully you could tell that she had been working there for a while because she knew what I had ordered just by the meat. She seemed really upset that the other lady just walked off.
All the workers seemed nice, but since I dined in I noticed a lot of them didn’t take there gloves off after touching the food, would answer the phone, and go back to making sandwiches.
Good experience other than that.

Not a real blimpie franchise. Doesn’t have the same menu items. Rude staff and needs a visual overhaul. Don’t waste your time, there are much better sandwiches in the immediate vicinity.

Delicious fresh fast delivered sandwiches. The cheesesteak is pretty good. I especially like the Blimpie best– it has a generous amount of deli meats and lots of veggies!

This is a fake Blimpies which doesn’t accept Blimpies coupons. Also a large Blimpie Best was like 10.89, while the Blimpies in downtown NYC which I am sure has quadruple the rent costs about 7 dollars.

BEST BLIMPIE IN ALL OF JERSEY! their bread and onions are like no other! BB with extra provolone all day!

A pretty decent option if it is hot out and I don’t feel like grilling or wife doesn’t want to cook (or, I don’t want to heat the house up by her cooking).
Yes, they can be kind of expensive, but, they are huge sandwiches, enough for leftovers the next day.
My favorite sandwich is the Blimpie Best on whole wheat with everything.
Though they tell you delivery time is 45 minutes we have never had to wait that long. Not as good as Jersey Mike’s, but a pretty decent option in Jersey City Heights. They have been around it seems forever according to my wife. She has been eating there since she was a teen. Worth a try if you are in the area.

Love this place. the ladies are always nice. and the sandwiches are DELICIOUS!

Central Ave Blimpie is the best!!! The cleanest and welcoming place. Same people working there for years. The freshest sandwiches ever. I would drive 100 miles to get a sandwich there. You have to try it!!!

Pros: Good sandwiches
Fast delivery
The fact that they do deliver…
Friendly order taking on the phone…
Cons: Sandwiches are always over sauced.
Cash only for delivery
Sandwiches are a little pricey
Overall, a good place to order from if you are tired of Pizza and Chinese food!

yes the ladies are rude and always have attitudes but these sandwiches are too damn good to pass up. This is my favorite Blimpie location and believe me when i say this one is much different then the rest, once you try it you’ll understand what i mean.

I just ordered 3 subs and a small bag of chips and paid almost $ 30 for it. I haven’t eaten them yet, but the lady on the phone was rude, they don’t accept credit for deliveries, and they are SO OVER PRICED it’s crazy. I WON’T be ordering from here again! Next time I’ll go to Podewicz across the street and get a reasonable sandwich!

Awesome! The food speaks for itself. It taste so fresh. Not too many complicated choices. Just basic Italian subs. Still they taste better than Subway and are bigger. Don’t know why there’s not enough reviews. Go check it out, complain about the ladies attitude, and love the food. You’ll be back again. Then come here and write something.
