Jersey's

After all these years driving by, and almost making it there with a friend who loves the Monday Night Football deals and fun crowd, I finally made it to Jersey's! My wife Leslie and I stopped in for an early lunch just after they opened, so we had the place to ourselves before it started filling up for the lunch rush. Located just across from TOP Foods on 175th, Jersey's is very clean and friendly, with one larger section with the bar and various sports on the flat screen TVs. The other room is more just for dining, but the memorabilia on the walls throughout Jersey's adds to the fun sports oriented feel.
We've heard the food is quite good, and the rumors were right. Leslie had an almost impossibly tall club sandwich and I opted for the Kalbi steak sandwich. Both were above what we expected. her sandwich had layers of tasty ingredients, including turkey, a savory slaw and a soft cheese with bacon for added crunch. The only issue we had is that Leslie had to smush the sandwich to get a full bite! My Kalbi Steak sandwich was amazing, with a mellow (sometimes kalbi can be spicy, not here) mariande on the perfectly cooked meat with slaw on a ciabatta bun. So good. Her fries were pub style and not too salty and I had a side salad which was not bad. Overall, Jersey's is a diamond in the rough - the rough part being the construction that's almost done along 175th. Although a sports bar with trivia nights, all day Sunday happy hour, etc., there is also a kids menu, and on Tuesdays they eat free, so we'll be back!
