Sponsored by BRS Backyard Bug Busters ›Stacked sandwiches and catering that earns compliments at every West Milford gathering.
Families around West Milford have been loading up coolers and catering trays from Highlander Deli & Grill for years, and the reason is pretty simple: the sandwiches are built the way deli sandwiches should be. Generous, fresh, and made by people who know the regulars by name. When guests at a backyard party or a family reunion start asking where the food came from, this is the place behind that answer.
The shop sits on Otterhole Road in a part of New Jersey where the roads wind through reservoir land and the pace slows down just enough to remind you that not everything has to be a chain. You walk in, you tell them what you want, and they make it. The counter staff knows the menu cold, and the deli case is stocked with the kind of options that make a simple lunch feel like a decision worth making.
A heads-up for first-timers: Highlander is cash only, so stop at the ATM before you pull in. It is a small detail that is easy to plan around once you know, and it is worth knowing before you are standing at the register short a few dollars.
The catering program is the sleeper hit here. Platters of cold cuts, deli sandwiches by the dozen, and trays built around whatever your event needs. Customers who have used it for family reunions, office lunches, and neighborhood parties consistently report that guests come back for seconds and ask for the source. That kind of track record is hard to fake.
Day-to-day, the menu covers the deli essentials. Bagels, breakfast items, hot and cold sandwiches, and a rotating selection from the grill. Portions are substantial, and the ingredients are the real thing, not the compressed, pre-sliced stuff that passes for deli meat at a gas station counter.
If you are planning an event in the West Milford area and want food that actually gets talked about, call ahead and ask about catering quantities and lead time. The shop is independently run, which means you are talking to someone who can actually answer your question rather than reading from a script.
