Tee Cee’s Deli & Luncheonette

Tee Cee’s Deli & Luncheonette sits in the middle of the SunnyBrae Shopping Center just off South Broad Street in Hamilton, NJ. It is an old fashioned eatery, complete with a long counter with spinners and wall hugging booths. The family running the operation is very nice and the afternoon I stopped in for lunch three generations were present.
I was the only customer when I sat down for a late lunch and ordered their version of an Italian Hot Dog. The short order cook was the female owner, while her spouse took the order and was busy cleaning up the rest of the time. She was very friendly and solicitous of my satisfaction and even directed me away from the French Fries in favor of Mac Salad because Home Fries came inside the sandwich. Thoughtful.
The meal arrived on a large white plate with each half of the hoagie roll separately wrapped in white sandwich paper, and a blue-​bowed wooden pick holding it together. Very nice touch. The Roll was fresh, firm and held its contents well. It was packed so tightly, yet smartly, that I could pick it up to eat without much falling out the other end. Impressive engineering. The Potatoes, Onions, Peppers and Frankfurter were hot and tasty. It came with Mustard and Ketchup already inside after inquiring of my wishes.
I really like these old joints that feel almost timeless. This one was definitely in a timewarp from about 1955. Aside from the HDTV high on the wall, Tee Cee’s would have been a great stage for Happy Days. Yet, to make that perfect, they would need to reintroduce the soda fountain that no doubt once graced this establishment.
If they had that working, this place would be a 5 Star extravaganza.

very bad food and worse customer service in the ‘restaurant’ section.
takes forever to get your order in and if you’re lucky enough to place an order, expect to get half of your tables order and watch every table around you get half of their orders and then get the rest of your tables food. makes no sense at all.
my wife and I stopped by for brunch on our second time eating there a month or so ago. no one was there and it took us a few minutes to be asked what we wanted or if we wanted coffee or whatever it was they finally asked us.
when our food was ready my wife stood up to walk over and grab our food but as she stood up, a baby we don’t know was thrown into my wife’s arms by this lady server, forcing my wife to stumble and sit down and the server ran and got our food 5 feet away. my wife immediately stood up and placed this unknown baby down in the high chair and had to wash her hands again.
how is this sane? how is this sanitary? we are here to eat and enjoy each other’s company but we are getting germ covered babies thrown at us and in our faces coughing all over our food it’s disgusting
we have been here a total of 4 times and do not see a 5^th time

The woman owner is so nice! She really tries hard to accommodate you. The subs we got were very good and loaded with ingredients. Good prices for everything on the menu. They have breakfast and lunch and even do eggs and things… they also have Boar’s Head which i like. We will be returning, just ordered some more sandwiches now.

Traveling through from Texas to Boston, we stopped to eat at this small «hole in the wall». Very nice customer service and the food was great!

Despite the nice woman helping me, it was dirty and slightly creepy. I got a hoagie that hit the spot but wasn’t very exciting.
