A brick city staple!! Back in the day cooper's could do no wrong in the eyes of anyone who ordered here. There's NOTHING like a cooper's sandwich. Pastrami on rye with coleslaw and russian dressing (and a pickle on the side). Omg! Mouth-watering just thinking about it. So good!! I haven't been in quite a while, so I'm not sure if it still holds true, but I plan to find out soon.
The Orange STREET location is the one I usually go to (yelp.com/biz/coopers-liq…). I don't know which location came first, but I like them both equally. This one has more thick protective plexiglass and metal bars covering the counters, but the menu is the same and I'd say the food is pretty consistent, too. All I've had at this location is the pastrami and I enjoyed it just as much as the other spot! Managed two large meals outta that one sandwich.
My family and I have eaten here since I was a wee lass, and the quality of the sandwiches they turn out is off the charts, just as it always has been. The star out of the lineup is the pastrami sandwich, piled crazily high on top of delicious rye, served with yummy pickle ( or peppers!) on the side. The rest of their menu is great too, but if you're ever in doubt, remember to default to the pastrami! I dare you to try and eat an entire sandwich by yourself in one sitting.
I know there will probably be legions of people ready to go crazy over what I'm about to say, but that deli across the river…you know the one… Katz? Yeah. They can no way compare to the sandwiches served here at Coopers.
Beware, the place is very small, I'm talking no more than 10 people in the joint small, not including those in the liquor/smokes line, so be prepared to stand outside sometimes on a busy Saturday.
Also be aware that hey, this is ungentrified, inner city Newark, so if you're faint of heart or have trouble exercising general common sense and awareness of your surroundings, you might wanna stay home. Otherwise,don't be a wimp; come on down South Orange Avenue and get you some!
