PRINCETON NJ Announcement

The Ideal Sandwich & Smashburger Shop Debut at Quaker Bridge Mall

Lawrenceville, NJ – May 2026 – Early Summer 2026 delivers the opening of a modern American eatery at the Simon Quaker

Bridge Mall in Lawrenceville, New Jersey: it's called The Belt: Hand Carved and Smashed By The Belt, and it's a cutting-edge

concept that brings a new playbook to the carving board, breaking the boundaries of a high-end shopping destination's dining

pavilion with two delicious options behind one thirty-foot counter. Smashed By The Belt serves perfectly grilled and smashed

burgers, and The Belt: Hand Carved offers an on-trend, on-point menu of your favorite sandwiches. Friendly, quick service

and quality ingredients, grilled to order or hand-carved and crafted at the cutting board, right in front of you. The Belt's

sandwiches and smashburgers are an ideal choice for a pre- or post-shop meal, or a grab-and-go gem for the family.

The Belt stands on a solid foundation of the best ingredients: flavorful, hand-carved meats (pastrami, corned beef, brisket and

turkey) and a high quality, proprietary Angus blend (brisket, rib-eye and short rib). Hot off the grill or carving station, ample

portions of meat are nestled between slices of fresh-baked New York rye, or in seeded Philly or potato rolls, with a generous

swipe of Gold's mustard and a crunchy pickle spear. The Belt's tight menu of Hand Carved sandwiches includes definitive

pastrami, brisket, corned beef or turkey on rye; a "50/50" meat combo; and a top-notch New Jersey Sloppy Joe. Hot

sandwiches include a Reuben (pastrami/corned beef/turkey with Swiss cheese, Russian dressing and sauerkraut on grilled rye)

or a Rachel (switch coleslaw for kraut); a brisket grilled cheese, aka The Belt Melt (chopped brisket, swiss & sharp American

on grilled sourdough). Finally, the "best cheesesteak" argument will be silenced by delicious mouthfuls of their iconic Brisket

Cheesesteak (chopped, with caramelized onions and Cooper sharp on a seeded roll).

Like the hand carved sandwiches, that perfect Angus blend for Smashed By The Belt is cooked to order, tender, with crunchy,

grill-crisped edges, complemented by grilled onion, sharp American cheese, and The Belt burger sauce on a potato bun. Single

and double patties are available with a regular Smash or in the spicy Fire Smash (hot Nashville seasoned chopped beef, shaved

jalapeños in place of onions, and hot honey finish). A Vegan Smash will more than satisfy vegetarians, topped with Silken Tofu

Smash Sauce, and guests avoiding carbs can substitute a garden crisp Bibb Lettuce Wrap for a bun, or opt for gluten-free

sourdough. Combos with chips or fries and a fountain drink are available, as are French Fries, Tots, or Hot Tots (tossed in

Nashville seasoning, jalapeños, diced onions, hot honey and cheese sauce).

Another ingredient that brings out quality at The Belt is value: nothing on the Hand Carved menu is over $15; a single Smash

is $9 and a double is $14, and there are many combos—so come enjoy and tighten your belt at the same time. Order ahead,

or at the counter kiosk, watch your food swiftly and expertly prepared, and in moments you're ready to savor that hearty

sandwich or Smash at the community seating, or whisk your meal home for yourself and your family. The Belt staff are also

catering pros for any size family, business or community catering event, serving a tantalizing array of sandwiches, sides and

beverages. Delivery and seamless online ordering will be available through The Belt site. The Belt has chosen Quaker Bridge

for their debut location; it's a singular concept for the Mall's guests, melding everyone's favorite sandwiches and smashburgers

with the team's vision for a quick, delicious dining experience. The Belt's premiere location is going to smash it!
