Elmer’s Country Store

Elmers is a traditional symbol of upper saddle river New Jersey its famous for its BEC (bacon egg and cheese) and has literally every snack and drink that you can imagine I highly recommend it

Swarms of kids after school! Disruptive and mean spirited. They actually try and bar adult customers from entering the store. On a recent visit, a kid was swinging a snow shovel in the vicinity of my face. He laughed as I tried to get away from him. The owners of the place are afraid of the kids. The parents wait out in the parking lot for the mayhem to calm down. This place is not worth reviewing as it is almost impossible to get past these hoods to get to the deli counter. STAY AWAY !!

Working Christmas Eve?! This was the only place open! This is probably due to the fact that it’s a gas station, convenience store, and deli. It sells lotto and you know that’s a good stocking stuffer on this particular night.
The place was actually kind of busy when I went in. The deli had a few customers ahead of me and behind me. Nothing insane, all quite manageable! I ordered a sandwich off of their vast array of goodies. Couldn’t quite make my mind up on what I wanted. I knew I was going to be doing an evening of delectable food so didn’t want to ruin that. I also knew I was going to be drinking my you know what off, so I needed something in the system! Went with a club sandwich, forgot to ask for mayo… who does that?! Thankfully without my knowing… it was already on.
It was filling and did an exemplary job. I do think that this will be on my places of where to go from now. I wish I could have tried a few other things, but there’s time for that… after all, it’s a new year!

This place is amazing. It’s one of the «best kept secrets» in Bergen County. Their menu is great. Their bagels, deli meats, salads, and platters are probably the equalivent of an upscale deli. Very attentive cooks and everyone is always friendly. First time I ordered from here, I just wanted a quick fix because I was hungry. Now I’m obsessed. Must give this place a try

For a store that had been falling apart a few years ago, the reincarnation of this store is probably as good as a local deli in northern NJ gets. The cooks and employees all take good note of your order, and only once has my order been messed up. To be honest it wasn’t even that big of a deal either because I ended up loving the sandwich anyway. They use great ingredients and the prices are about in line what you’d expect of a deli. It’s not cheap nor expensive. The only downside as this is a small kitchen, and the only place within Upper Saddle River that actually has a kitchen… it can get overwhelmed at times. It’s best to call ahead and place your order, as you can be waiting for for awhile.

This place is so cute! Love the look outside and the cooked food is amazing! However, the lines do grow long so it is best to order beforehand, if you are in a rush, to make sure that you can get your food and get back to work in a timely fashion.

WOW What an improvement over the original store that was falling down and dirty inside and out. This place is new, clean and great. The head grill cook is awesome and really takes it up a notch for a local deli. They have specials and fresh home made soups that he makes everyday. I get in there in the early morning and they take great care to get my orders right every time. I call in orders for the my guys for lunch and they are always right, not like most other places. They have flavored coffees and all kinds of snacks in the connivence store part. I can even fill up the trucks at the gas pumps while they make me a quick snack ! I really like the improvements from the old business. It’s a great place for dads to take their kids on the weekends and get them hooked on taylor ham, egg and cheese sandwiches.
