​We were looking for a good sandwich shop nearby, and Junior's Urban Eats came up with glowing 5-star reviews, so my husband and I decided to stop in. We are so glad we did! ​We ordered the pastrami sandwich to share, and it was outstanding. It featured a unique combination of meats, house-made special sauce, super fresh bread, and high-quality ingredients. I honestly can't recall the last time I had a sandwich packed with that much meat--it was huge and easily satisfied both of us. At around $14 to $14.50, the price is incredibly reasonable for the quality and portion size you get. ​What made the experience even better was chatting with the owner, Junior. He has years of experience, a true passion for food and drinks, and could not have been nicer. He even gave us a sample of an amazing drink he made just for us to try! ​The shop itself has a fantastic vibe--upbeat music, spotless cleanliness, and a bright, cheerful decor that Junior painted and decorated himself. He mentioned he's only been open for about four months, and he's doing everything right. ​If you're reading this, definitely give them a try. It's always great to support a local small business, and you won't be disappointed. We will definitely be back! read more

Nothing special about the sandwiches-- very standard and ordinary. For the cost and long wait, I can't say it was worth it. Moreover, the sandwiches were not stuffed with a bunch of meat as pictured. The wait was 30-40 mins for just 2 sandwiches and there was only one party ahead of me (2 adults). I've never waited so long for a sandwich before. Imagine if there was a lunch rush! You'd spend your entire lunch just waiting! The owner was very apologetic, which I really appreciate. Despite my experience, I'm still happy that I supported this small shop. It's a new business so I'm confident the owner will operate more efficiently. Ambiance: Urban, cozy, and chill. The space has no AC and there's no outdoor dining. Love the theme. Positives: The owner is friendly and hard working. Dutch crunch bread had the proper softness and crisp. read more

Came in for lunch, service was very friendly. Ordered the Urban Classic and it was very delicious. Vegetables were fresh and flavors were well balanced with the banana peppers. Ratio of meat, bread, and veg was good and very generous. This is exactly how a solid sandwich should be. read more

Came here randomly on a Saturday afternoon and found out that it is a new spot. Used to be Boba galaxy. They have remodeled and it is now a Boba and sandwich shop - interesting choice in a plaza full of Vietnamese food and I like the vibes. Met the owner Jr who is a super nice guy and passionate about his sandwiches. He sources the meat from Zanottos so you know that the deli meat is going to be top-notch. We got the number one per his recommendation and as you can see from the picture, it's chock full of meat and the urban sauce that is special made by Jr is super tasty. Definitely good prices on the menu for this quality of meat. We also got a Thai tea with Boba, which I really liked as it wasn't super sweet like the thau tea at regular Thai restaurants. The Boba inside was nice and chewy. He also is doing a new thing with Italian sodas with some flavoring and gave us one for free, which was so kind. The Italian soda was very tasty as well. I would definitely give this place a stop if you're looking for some good deli sandwiches in the north part of San Jose. The atmosphere is nice and the owner is very welcoming. read more

Jr's Urban Eats is seriously a hidden gem! My girlfriend got the Zesty Zeus and I went with the Hot Pastrami Mami, and we were both blown away. The Hot Pastrami Mami was packed with flavor--the pastrami and salami combo with the Swiss, spicy honey mustard, and Urban Sauce was great. My girlfriend absolutely loved the Zesty Zeus too. The chicken, salami, feta, banana peppers, and tzatziki gave it such a good mix of savory, tangy, and fresh flavors. Both sandwiches were loaded, fresh, and actually felt like they cared about the quality of the ingredients instead of just throwing together a basic sandwich. 10/10 would absolutely come back. If you're in the San Jose/Berryessa area and love a good sandwich, definitely give Jr's Urban Eats a try! read more

The sandwiches were good but they were a bit pricey for their size. There is not much variety in sandwich choices either and parking was tough. Wouldn't go out of my way to go here but would stop by if I was nearby and hungry. read more

We got the Urban Classic and a passionfruit tea from here and they were both so yummy!! The sandwich was so flavor packed and we loved the amount of meat that was put in. The passionfruit tea was also really tasty and had a great balance. We got helped by Junior who just opened this shop who was very kind and helpful. We would definitely recommend coming to this new shop! read more

The sandwich was great. What you see in their photo is what you get! Not sure if JR is the only one running the place and making sandwiches or if we came in on a day all his employees called out sick. But please hire more helpers! I think we ordered 4 sandwiches that day, and it took JR over 40mins to get them to us. Yes, I would come back, but maybe I'll do a phone order next time read more

Stopped by during lunch after hearing about their sandwiches and decided to try The Urban Classic. It was easy to see why so many people recommend it. The bread was fresh with a nice bite, the meats were stacked just right, and the mix of cheese, veggies, and their urban sauce brought everything together without feeling too heavy. The service was one of the better parts of the visit. The staff greeted everyone, answered questions without rushing, and checked that each order was right before handing it over. The food came out quicker than I expected, even with a steady crowd. I also grabbed a boba drink which paired really well with the sandwich. Overall it felt like a comfortable local spot that I would gladly visit agian. read more

I saw the business sign last week as I was driving down Capitol Ave. We live just a couple of blocks away. I checked out their reviews on Yelp and since my husband and I love hearty sandwiches, we decided to give them a try. I arrived at 6 pm, day before a holiday. The shop was nice and clean. There was another couple in there enjoying their sandwiches and they were raving at how good the food was. The owner was friendly, answered my questions, and offered suggestions. I ordered an Urban Classic for the hubby and a BLT with avocado, ham and a spicy honey mustard sauce - an off the menu creation the owner came up with just this week. I got the sauce on the side as I don't like super spicy things. I also ordered a milk tea. He told me it would be a 10-15 min wait, as he makes all of his sandwiches fresh and to order. It was worth the wait. Both my hubby and I loved our sandwiches and they were reasonably priced. Turns out this is a new business that has only been open 3 months. It's hard to win over my supper picky hubby, but Jrs Urban Eats did. I look forward to continuing to support this small business. Come check them out. You will NOT be disappointed. read more

A sandwich is usually considered a quick, boring, last minute resort way to address hunger. Jr's Urban Eats changes that narrative. The picture you see on the menu of an item is exactly what you get, no false advertising here. I had the Urban Classic and was served a heap of meat and a balanced portion of veggies, sauces and the perfect portion and thickness of bread. The best Dutch crunch roll I've ever had. Most Dutch crunch rolls are way too bready, nice if bread is usually the star for you but in this case clearly the supporting cast. It's about the meat and generous portion is what you can expect. Prices are about what you would expect for a sandwich these days, about $15-$20 depending on if you get the combo or not. But so far probably the best American style sandwich in town, I felt satisfied with my purchase and will be coming again. Local businesses are where to go for good eats, owners generally put their heart and soul into what they provide, Jr's is no exception. Sandwiches these days just aren't the same, generous with the bread and skimp on the meats, Jr's is opposite, they understand what the star of a sandwich should be. Highly recommend, put this place on the map. Look at my photo I posted, isn't it mouth watering? Wait til you try a bite, you'll have a hard time putting it down. Keep it Urban. read more
