"The sandwiches are average," J P. of Oradell wrote on Yelp.com about Schreiber's. "There's not much "love" put into assembling any sandwich. If you're looking for a great sandwich, go down the road to Dante's. [Dante's] has killer sandwiches and great for catered Italian food. The large sandwiches are big enough to share. Try their sandwich specials menu, including the roast beef, horseradish sauce and arugula sandwich."
