OT: Hoagie Haven (Princeton, NJ)

[The RUT]

Want proof our country is going to crap? Look no further.

They close at 11PM on weekends now? What kind of nonsense is that?

Before COVID they would be open until 1AM/2AM?

How in the world am I supposed to regret eating a fat lady while drunk at 11PM?!

Not all change is good, folks.

 

[RUPete]

One change you can make for the better: don’t drink and post.

 

[e5fdny]

Turrible name for a sandwich. Turrible.

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

It's in Princeton , shocking news. Just shocking.

 

[Rhuarc]

Hoagie Haven is probably the most overrated sandwich place around. I don't get the love for it.

I’m sure there’s plenty of regret you can still have at 1AM

I can’t believe I’m hearing this quote for the first time in my 40s. It would have been so helpful when I was much younger. 😅

Place has been gross every time I’ve been there.

 

[611george]

I agree. White House is also gross.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

It’s NOT great food but as someone who has been there 50+ times, post-midnight, I agree with the OP!!!

BTW - isn’t the “Fat Lady” the idiotic woke version of the “Fat Bitch?” I know a few places have gone insane “woke” with their sandwich names as such.

Who knows, I always went with the Sanchez - extra dirty.

I’m surprised there was no talk of grease trucks vs hoagie haven ITT.

If Princeton town officials had their way everything would close at 5pm

You're taking about a sandwich, right?

I’m talking about a fine dining establishment, Lotus.

 

[SirPerceval]

I haven't been there in 23 years (last time was after my last class for my MBA in 99) but their cheesesteaks were fantastic. They don't (or least at the time did not) chop up the steak like in Philly, left them whole. Wonder if the same guys are still there.

Remember when you could get a Trash Can at 4 am at Greasy Tony’s, likely from an ex-con with more grease in his hair than on the grill? Ah, good times.

Casey Stengel must have never hung out outside of D'Jais after 2 am on a summer night. Like shooting drunk fish in a barrel.

Is it fine dinning just because its Princeton???

 

[The RUT]

Lol took a red eye to Jersey last night so yes, but was not drinking. These are sober thoughts.

 

[fsg2]

Even better😂

Been eating cheese steak hoagie double meat heavy lettuce tomato and oil and vinegar since 1980. Driven a half hour out of my way many times. If I could choose a last meal this would be it.

 

[Knight Shift]

Or the System.

We would pick up dinners from the System for the fire station. The beautiful thing was the grease would soak through the wrappers, the bag and the box.

Just fix yourself a sandwich at that hour. How hard is that. Heck, prepare it before you go out drinking and put it in the frig that way when you walk in you're good to go.

Oil and vinegar??!! Only mayo on a Cheesesteak Sun (aka “California Cheesesteak”)!!! lol

That's a crazy combo. I gotta give it a shot. You only live once.

Mayo and cheesesteak should never be in close proximity to each other. Ketchup only.

Sounds like the old Trash Can from Greasy Tony's - used to love those...

 

[T2Kplus20]

A cheesesteak in regular sub form is pretty good (LTO and O/V). Not a regular thing for me, but a nice change of pace.

Mayo no, but oil and vinegar yes?
Mayo and ketchup blend just like russian dressing, which is a staple on Reuben sandwiches. Not seeing/tasting a huge difference.

But this calls for an experiment-eating a cheesesteak with mayo and ketchup and a Reuben with Russian dressing for dinner side by side.

Do you deliver?

Are we talking about 2 a.m outside of D'Jais on a summer night in the 1980s or sandwiches?

That's fry sauce. People go crazy for the stuff in Utah.

Basic ketchup and mayo is pretty meh to me but some of the spinoffs are good. BBQ sauce + mayo is surprisingly good.

Don’t they also only allow 4oz beers in Utah?

Nah.

Maybe you're thinking of near beer, which used to be 4.2 percent. Raised to 5 percent a couple of years ago, only because other states (incl CO) that had it on the books got rid of it and no profit in making it anymore so beer Co's stopped. Day they switched they had to just destroy thousands of 4.2 beers, lol

Not only for supermarket and gas stations, which I think CO still has, but the max for taps. Anything higher has to be bottled/canned. And only sold at full bars or in state liquor store.
