Fast service despite the lunch crowd. These guys pump out quality sandwiches every minute. Amazing bread, meats, cheeses, and produce. Second time back in NJ, and I always told myself I'd come back to this place if I was in the area, so I brought my husband this time too.

food is amazing, but don't let me get started with the joke of an owner. Been a Hamilton nj local for years and everyone knows to just shield this guys attitude with the food. Always thinks everything's a hassle aswell as my mother called today to order and he was no help at all and acted like everything's a hassle. Well here's a tip buddy don't go into a business if your gonna be a miserable pos. college was an option lol. Rest of staff also always seems uncomfortable with this goofball aswell because he's always so grouchy and angry

An update has been sorely overdue. I stray from here every once in awhile only to find I would have enjoyed my choices more from this shop. In fact the one fling I had was with a shop just slightly closer who also made a few of their own meats. They didn't have the staying power with almost half a dozen choices all within less than a mile.
My two recent visits confirmed why this is still tops. The store made Turkey is my favorite, I almost got chicken salad but at the last second blurted out Turkey! Even the Swiss used is good. You have your choice of seeded or unseeded bread and rolls. I go with seeded as it's still very soft. Even with multiple orders the process runs very smoothly and a top wait time is usually around 5 min for me. Of note is the potato salad. It may be best in Mercer county and if you have another fav let me know. I just tried the Mac salad too and the same can be said about it.
My big regret every time I come here is to not try something new. Their Jove could be the one I needed to see to venture away from Turkey. It's a spicy Italian style that sounds amazing. Also in the should have category was the lasagna soup. Customer service is friendly and efficient. Definitely worth a few extra minutes drive.Helpful 36Thanks 0Love this 31Oh no 0Sep 6, 2015Previous reviewI'm not a sub/hoagie/grinder expert, but this place is the real deal. And my picnicking companion who is can back me up on this point. Freshly sliced meats and cheeses, interesting sandwich choices, and assembled quickly and carefully.
Our turkey with American was very tasty. I'm glad I got a whole instead of a half, but for 1 a half would suffice. There is a reason this place has survived for decades even though lesser places have encroached on their territory. Easily 4.5 not so little royal Yelps - Mike S.Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, NY395671270Dec 12, 2023Purchased a Yelp Deal
Their sandwiches are really flavorful. I don't dislike any that I've tried....BUT sometimes the special sandwiches try to add too much flavors and they don't always hit the mark perfectly. Pains me to say it as I never want them to stop being creative, so take my opinion for a grain of salt. Only reason I couldn't give them 5 stars. But definitely go try them!

Friendly sandwich shoppe on Rt 33 in Hamilton. In a small strip mall, the consummate family owned local business. They use top shelf provisions. Made fresh in front of you. A few small tables so don't expect a meeting room over lunch. But who cares, you don't eat the ambiance, you will simply enjoy the sandwich and lots of it!

The best around. You can't go wrong at the Little King. The owner is like some kind of sandwich wizard. Like going to The Beef, but it's a real place and it's 10 minutes from my house.

Yes Viginia, there is a Santa Claus, and his name is The Jove!
I grew up in Hamilton Twp., and Little King was my very first hoagie, ever. I'm 54 and they have been my go-to for the past 45 years or so. I've heard the hype about the 50th anniversary sandwich called The Jove, but I always seem to end up with my tried and true Italian whenever I go. Today, I decided to take the plunge, and let me tell you, it was worth it!
This sandwich is incredible (don't let my poor photography skills sway you). If you are a fan of Italian delicacy meats, fresh mozzarella, sharp provolone, roasted red peppers, aged balsamic all on a toasted garlic roll, then this is the sandwich for you! Each bite is like a symphony of goodness in our mouth. It takes you to heights that you didn't know were possible, (ok, am I over doing it?? NO!). I know people will think that I work for Little King, or I am getting something for writing this, but I assure that I do not, and am not! It's just a really good sandwich, that's all.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Bridget B.Princeton, NJ22144356Feb 19, 2023
They run a tight ship in there! We came in Sunday afternoon for a hoagie and they had a ton of orders. The staff was slicing the lunch meat fresh for the sandwiches which is a huge plus. I was expecting the sandwiches to have a bit more flavor and the roll to be a little crustier like a hoagie, but overall a decent place to grab a sandwich. I really appreciated the quality and service.

I was recommended this place by the sister in law who lives and works very close by. Conveniently placed right off of Rt 33, Little King is an old, small sandwich shop with enough menu options to entertain all tastes.
I went with the Sharp Italian, featuring Prosciutto, Genoa Salami, Capicola & Sharp Provolone, with the standard lettuce, tomato and onion. Little King uses a much softer roll than most other delis in Trenton, but has some solid meats and cheese to go on their hoagies.
Overall, I loved the fillings of this hoagie but the roll was not my favorite. Far too soft compared to my favorites in the area. Though, the menu selection and quality meats is enough to bring me back in the future.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
