    When in New Jersey, I like to get a pork roll egg and cheese sandwich. I ordered the sandwich and had to tell the waiter that I thought they made a mistake that it was just an egg and cheese. There was no pork roll. The cook said that that it's in there. I unfolded all the eggs and I did find a single slice of pork roll. For this price, I would've expected a little bit more meat. The sandwich tasted fine just a little chintzy for the price. Two or three slices of pork roll is the standard. Also, it should sit on top of the eggs and cheese. The home fries and coffee were good.. Per ChatGPT There's no legally mandated or "official" number of pork roll slices for a pork roll-egg-and-cheese (PEC) sandwich in New Jersey. It's more a question of convention, regional delis, and personal preference. However, based on recipes, diner practice, and local custom, here's what seems typical: What sources and examples suggest * One recipe ("Pork Roll Egg and Cheese") lists 2 slices of pork roll. * Another recipe from Grilled Cheese Social calls for 3 slices of pork roll. * Serious Eats, in a layering example, stacks two slices of pork roll (i.e. "pork, pork") above eggs + cheese. * In local deli practice, people often ask for "three slices" of Taylor Ham / pork roll (cut with slits so it doesn't curl) in a sandwich. For instance, in a Reddit comment: "The best way is ... 3 slices of Taylor Ham ... one fried egg ..." Reasoned "typical" recommendation Given the above, a "typical" sandwich in New Jersey would use 2 to 3 slices of pork roll, depending on: * The thickness of each slice (thin vs. thick cut) * The size of the roll or bread (how much "room" there is) * How meaty the eater likes their sandwich If I were advising you to pick a "standard" amount, I'd lean toward 3 slices of pork roll as being common and satisfying without overcrowding the sandwich.

    Pretty much what most people probably expect when they are going to dine at a beach boardwalk restaurant - average, pedestrian food that you feel you are risking your health on. The decor of the restaurant is pretty blah and drab with its maroon-colored booths and the menu is just ALLLL over the place with a hodgepodge of American "favorites" OR as I'd like to call it "heart attack" food. Surprisingly, they do serve salads here, as well as wraps and veggie dishes, but the stars of the menu are on the fried or greasy side - as in - pizza, burgers, philly steaks, Italian food, gyros/souvlaki and fried seafood baskets. Since we were kind of exhausted from our day on the Wildwood Boardwalk, we pretty much had an "F-it" attitude and needed to desperately refuel. We ended up getting 2 slices of pizza (plain cheese and buffalo chicken), a mushroom cheese steak (with whiz) and a spaghetti with meatballs. As I said, the food was pretty much what you'd expect. What we thought was going to be the best thing we ordered, ended up being the worst though - and that was the pizza. The pizza slices were pretty small and weren't all that hot by the time it reached our table. However, the mushroom cheesesteak was a surprising bright spot though. It was no real Philly cheesesteak by any means, but the bread was exceptionally soft and the presentation of the steak was decent. Did we have high expectations? Absolutely not. Should you have high expectations when dining here? Absolutely not. So with that said, before sitting down, you should know what you're getting yourself into and as long as you keep those expectations realistic, you'll mostly enjoy your meal here as it's really not the worst place you can eat, even if it looks of it.

    Boardwalk dining at its core - there's literally something for everyone on the menu, so don't let the randomness throw you off. Don't go in with high expectations and you won't be disappointed! Servers were attentive and quick. Food isn't bad and you get a good amount for what you pay for, especially the kid's meals. My husband loves their gyro platter, my oldest had a house salad with grilled chicken that was fresh with well seasoned chicken, and I had ravioli with meatballs - the sauce was flavorful and the meatballs, while not as good as my homemade ones were actually pretty good! We've been a few times and have also enjoyed their pizza. I wish they had breakfast available all day, but no luck there!

    Got here and had a great waitress, she was very attentive to detail with everything! All of our food was very good. Price was a little high but I don't mind paying for great food. The place a very friendly and old vibe to it!

    White pizza absolutely amazing, mushroom cheesesteak (I suggest asking to add fried onions) was full and delicious. This place is great food for a cheap price!

    Food was good. Service is very slow, and they like to yell to each other in another language. Music is loud.

    it was a great food and good prices. My whole family enjoyed. It would definitely recommend trying…read moreit if you have a chance.

    When the chef at the Wagon Wheel arrived at work this afternoon, God averted his gaze. Being…read moreomniscient, he knew what was coming -- but even his omnipotence wasn't enough to prevent the culinary mortal sin that was inflicted upon our unsuspecting party of five this Tuesday afternoon. But wait, I'm getting ahead of myself. Eating at the Wagon Wheel is an experience, insofar as stubbing your toe is an experience, or contracting leprosy is an experience. Not all experiences are made equal, and some you actively hope to repress the memory of. Such was this. Let's start with the food. I ordered the steak and shrimp. I expected a juicy, tender piece of New York strip, cooked rare. Instead, I got an under-seasoned, over-cooked piece of desiccated shoe leather. As for the shrimp, if you bought a $5 slingshot from the boardwalk, you could easily repurpose them as a highly-effective crowd control weapon -- if not for those pesky Geneva Conventions, that is. Others in my party fared no better. My father-in-law received a pile of dry, chewy ribs that were so over-salted, they seemed almost designed to provoke renal failure. My wife got a hamburger that, she said, made her feel like she swallowed the contents of a cement mixer. In many respects, she wishes she did -- it certainly would be, gastronomically speaking, a step up from the Wagon Wheel. My brother-in-law and mother-in-law both ordered the steak -- although they had the presence of mind to avoid the shrimp, which, I add, were a sixteen-dollar surcharge. Sixteen fucking dollars, for four "jumbo" shrimp that were neither jumbo, nor edible. I'm still bitter about that. Oh yes, their steaks. The medium-rare one was overcooked, and the well done one was undercooked. Now, look: I appreciate the staff at the Wagon Wheel are used to only hearing the words "well done" with a sarcastic tone, like when a puppy shits outside of the house for the first time, but how do you screw up a well done steak? You just cook the fucker until it has the same consistency as the sliced up Doc Martens we were served. Everything came with a side of baked potatoes -- which, if they were originally baked this year, I would be stunned -- and a thimble of over-boiled broccoli that looked as lethargic and unhealthy as those in our party that finished their meals. Remember when I said that eating at the Wagon Wheel was an experience? It was one that our servers seemed determined to drag out, serving members of our party at random times, and with massive gaps between each person. The time between the arrival of the first plate and the last was, easily, about twenty minutes. Whoever said that "good things come to those who wait" was a liar. And this, I add, was at a time when the restaurant was as crowded as Jeffrey Epstein's funeral. In many respects, it almost felt like a piece of cruel performance art, with the restaurant serving over-salted food designed to sap the moisture out of you, but not actually coming round to take a drink order. I've rambled. I'm sorry. Let me wrap this up: The Wagon Wheel really is unmitigated bum.
