The kind of place where you can go and the guy or gal behind the counter knows your name and chats with you while you order some cold cuts, a sub, or a breakfast sandwich.

For example, Lennys in Toms River has some out-of-this-world subs and rumor has it their breakfast sandwiches are some of the best in Ocean County.
