So when I overheard some parking lot chatter about a local cheesesteak spot, I didn't think much of it. A week later, a random Yelp scroll brought them up again. I've been let down by the last dozen "Philly" spots I've tried across California. I was craving a real sandwich--the kind piled so high with meat you can actually see what you're biting into. I decided it was time to risk it. The diet starts Monday, right? I ordered the King Philly and a side of tater tots (fair warning: the "regular" size is absolutely massive). Lo and behold... they actually did it. This is a damn good, fully legitimate Philly cheesesteak. The Verdict: Stop searching, stop scrolling, and just come here. Until you're ready to buy a plane ticket to Philadelphia, this place will absolutely satisfy your craving. Don't overthink it, just go.

Great place for cheesesteaks! Different from the other cheesesteak shops around San Jose in that…read morethe hoagie roll was soft! Most cheesesteak shops have a thick and chewy hoagie that sometimes gets to be bit too chewy and becomes a problem trying to take a clean bite - more often than not, it ends up with the meat falling out of the hoagie, and/or juice oozing out onto your lap. Not so here at New Jersey's! This is the first time I ate a cheesesteak with no mess, no meat falling out, no juice on my pants! They solve the problem by using a soft hoagie roll. Yet there is not the sogginess that one automatically expects, as there is little juice to be soaked up. If you think that this makes for a dry cheesesteak, it does not. The meat is tender, not dry at all, the onions and mushrooms are not limp, but the flavor is all there! Some people may prefer the thicker bun to give it a definite bite, but I do like this more refined eating experience!

I personally have not been to this location, but had tried them when they were just Jerseys off of Winchester blvd. A friend recommended them because he said he had the best onion rings and they make their own ranch dressing. I got the standard cheesesteak with onions and cheese. Sadly I did not really get the cheese with my cheesesteak, there was one hidden slice inside my sandwich. Definitely not what I am used to if I have a cheesesteak anywhere else. The flavor was good, I just missed the cheese :( I know people love this place, but I will probably just go back to my regular spot on Saratoga.

Topped with two poached medium eggs* and our scratch made pico de gallo. Served with duck fat potatoes) - super flavorful carnitas, perfectly poached egg.

First; the fry seasoning was pretty decent (maybe a tad too salty) but the fries itself were too soggy. The quality of the meat in the sandwich was average (couldn't really taste the bacon) but it was too oily as well. The hot peppers that I customized with definitely had a kick so there's a plus there. It's not the worst thing in the world, but also not sure I would go here again considering it's not super cheap either.

Came here after seeing lots of talk online about Kenny's being the best breakfast burrito spot…read morearound SJ. Kenny and the staff are extremely kind and caring, and even when the place fills up they deliver excellent service. However, I thought the food we ordered was just ok. Ordered the #1 (Breakfast burrito), #5 (breakfast sandwich). Both items' composition was not the best. They were wrapped with the wrapping paper that didn't securely hold the entire sandwich/burrito securely. Especially for the sandwich, the cheese and meat were easily spilling out from the sides. The burrito was standard, but I felt the same way more or less regarding its structure. Additionally, the flavor was ok and good at best. The meal came with red salsas, which look to be house made since it was clear there is pickled onions and some other little things in it. Honestly it is an ok salsa, I'm not sure if this particular flavor is what I'm looking for to complement a breakfast burrito normally. We had an OK experience. The restaurant seems like a fairly small shop (run by family)! While I'm all for supporting local and mom/pop shops, I probably would not wait over 15 minutes for it. Maybe will have to try the bulgogi items next time! But for breakfast burrito/sandwich it was just ok to me.

We also ordered 3 soft drinks too. The restaurant was busy, but another party left, so we were able to grab their table to enjoy lunch inside.

Our son finished his Cheesesteak and we polished-off the Fries and Onion Rings. My wife and I didn't finish our Cheesesteaks, so we took home the leftover Cheesesteaks to enjoy another day.

On to the food: This place has great burgers and chicken sandwiches, but if you've ever wandered by you can smell them grilling chickens. They're delicious overall, but a little inconsistent - sometimes it's a little too salty, other times the skin isn't rendered enough in a spot, or the meat is slightly dry in a spot. I'm making it sound bad, but I order this like half the time I'm there because it's delicious enough the inconsistency is not worth skipping this for. If you are in a hurry to clog your arteries the French fries with blue cheese and bacon will satisfy your most primal cravings while simultaneously wiping a year off your lifespan in a single order. Might be worth it. It's an absolutely huge portion. Whole plate is probably 5000 calories. This place is a local gem and you shouldn't miss it. Just know what it is and have a fun time.

We told the server we didn't order it, but he said it was their mistake, so it was on the house. Our burgers were good-sized, flavorful and filling. The Garlic Fries were awesome, especially if you like garlic. We only ate about half of the Loaded Fries, since it was just so much food. Help yourself to refills of soda, if you like.
