Jersey Joe’s Coastside Hoagies and Cheesesteaks

Great spot here! The owner is a friendly East Coaster and seems to take pride in the place, as he should it’s a well run spot with great high quality ingredients. The curly fries were awesome so tasty, cooked to perfection. Cool brews on tap. The bun was great on my classic Phillycheese– teenie weenie complaint was the steak was not seasoned well. While the meat itself was good it needed some salt and pepper at least to take it up a notch ala those killer cheesesteak sandwiches I’ve had in Philly.

Jersey Joe’s does it right! It’s a fun environment, the food is delicious and prepared quickly, the restaurant is kept very clean, and they have a nice beer and wine selection. Even as a vegetarian, I love going here for the veggie cheesesteaks and sweet potato fries! Hardworking, friendly staff, too. An unexpected gem in HMB!

11 bucks for a cheese steak without bell peppers or much meat. Cheese was blended in instead of on top. Only ate here because Unilocal reviews were high. 30 bucks for 2.

Shut Up And Take My Money!
Everybody that said this is a great place for cheesesteaks gets my thanks!

Stopped by today about 3pm and the service was excellent and very fast. The pepper cheesesteak was absolutely the best I’ve ever had! I ordered it to go and even managed to eat it in the car. It was so good! I’ll definitely will be back!

Went there to watch the warriors play off game with the wife, Two pints of beers and a boat of fried cheese sticks and a boat of fried zucchini sticks was less than $ 20 with tax. Plenty of food too. How can you go wrong?

This place is delicious, no joke, as soon as you walk in and smell the restaurant you know its good! Also if you spend a minute or two you will realize they have a few awards for having the best burgers for the past few years!
We came in during dinnertime and it was fairly quiet when we first walked in but right after we ordered a rush came in and we were surprised with how many people were cramming through the doors.
For our dinner we ordered the Philly cheesesteak with mushrooms and the bacon burger with a side of curly fries. While we were eating we admired the TV’s that were playing the basketball game and also the neat sports décor up on the walls.
When our food was ready we were in shock… The Philly cheesesteak was so huge and were in for a surprise. In all honesty it was enough for us to just split it. The taste was a five star rating right away at the first bite. Next was the burger which was also not a let down since it has been voted the best already. You can taste how delicious the meat is and the awesome burger bread that went with it. Last but not least, the curly fries were perfectly seasoned and crunchy!
Overall this was a great experience and we were so happy we stopped into eat. We plan on coming back in when we are in the area.

I am giving this place a 4 because It was good but I should’ve ordered a cheesesteak instead of the fish and chips. Fish and chips was alright it didn’t really taste like anything but the cheesesteak was sooo good I practically ate half of my Bf’s sandwich lol.

Rainy day lunch. Fish and chips order was 2 large fat pieces with good sized basket of thick fries. Fries were nothing special but not bad; they needed a lot of salt. Fish was cod, not my favorite but it was good. Italian hoagie 6 inch was plenty of food. Fresh ingredients in the sub. Great atmosphere with variety of seating (booths, high tables for two, larger tables…) and lots of tvs but there are also booths with no tvs to view.
They have many awards posted for «best burger» so I kind of wish I’d gone that route but the fish was good. They also advertise fresh milkshakes, so next time… And I will be back.
Lots of «athlete of the month» postings– nice that thy support the local sports. And great service.

I heard so many people raving about the food and the atmosphere that It was time to stop by and try it out myself.
Upon entering Jersey Joes the atmosphere seemed really «chill». It’s a great hang out spot to grub and watch the game on their many many flat screen TVs on the walls. The place is decorated in a manner that they pay homepage to Bay Area teams like the 49ers and Giants and also to Philly teams as well.
Now the food. Omg! The Philly cheesesteaks were awesome and the cheese was melted just perfectly and the meat wasn’t dry at all. The price range for the cheesesteaks is $ 10-​$ 12 and they have different ones such as a classic Philly cheesesteak to a hoagie cheesesteak and a pizza cheesesteak.
They also had other items like burgers and salads. They offered a wide variety of sides (a lot of different fries). Their pizza fries were very unique and tasty. My only complaint is that they could have been a bit cheesier.
Their milkshakes were yummy too. I had the strawberry milkshake and they use real strawberries which you can taste. It was nice and thick and not overly sweet.
I typically don’t write long reviews, but when I do and I give 5 stars it usually means this a must try spot, especially in a small town like Half Moon Bay.

The bacon Philly cheesesteak was so delicious. However, the pizza fries were okay. The cheese wasn’t as melty as I expected. Overall, I enjoyed it and it looked very appetizing.

I came here after a long day outdoor. This place was surprisingly not too crowded on a Saturday evening. We ordered a cheesesteak sandwich, pizza fries and artichoke soup.
The sandwich and fries were good, soup was not that great. Will stick to the sandwiches next time. Food was served pretty quick. Parking can be hard to find in the strip, we had to go around twice before finding a spot.

Stopped in on a whim driving down PCH stopping in Half Moon Bay and they had parking so that is where this great adventure started.
The staff was super friendly and the service was great, then the sandwich arrived. I tried the Pepperoni Philly and it was absolutely amazing. The bread was perfect. It was stuffed fully of well seasoned rib eye and pepperoni with the cheese melted through out ensuring the same great taste in every bite.
I would stop back if I was in the area. The place is clean, plenty of TVs with sports on and a freestyle Coke machine to boot. Come from the sandwich and enjoy the stay, I did.

This place has delicious food. However, I want to write a review based upon how incredible the staff was when we recently went. Jersey Joes is always a family friendly environment but when my son decided to throw an epic meltdown when we couldn’t sit at a high table (yes, we were that couple with the crazy screaming child), I was taken back by how accommodating and caring the staff was. A line cook put together a cool little cardboard toy car for my son and they all seemed to be more concerned about why our kid was upset rather than make us feel bad about it. Honestly, it was really touching to see his caring and sincere attempt to help us out. We really appreciated that.
The toy calmed down our boy. We had a delicious meal and disaster was averted! Thank you Jersey Joe’s for being family friendly, making delicious food, and having awesome employees.

First things first, the sandwiches here are HUGE. And they’re stuffed full with meat. The quality of the meat is good and the bun they used is nice as well, it won’t fall apart on you. My only complaint was that the meat wasn’t seasoned enough, but they do provide you with a lot of condiments at the table if you plan on eating in. I got the bacon cheesesteak and I could barely finish half of it because the portion size was so big. Getting a pretty good deal for it, around 10 – 13 dollars a sandwich.
I recommend getting cole slaw or something to cut through all that meat! It can get quite heavy.
I came in during lunch hour, and it can get a bit noisy and crowded, but the tables are nicely spaced out. Waited only about 10 minutes for both sandwiches.
Would definitely come again if I was in the area!

I an sure all review of this place is a fake. I don’t have high expectations, however this place is not good. We stayed for a dinner and the food was not as advertised. In particular grilled tuna from the menu (melt tuna) was served as a tuna sandwich.
My suggestion is to stay away from this place. The only reason why we have chosen this place is highest review rates on Unilocal.I am sure it is fake reviews.

This place has some amazing cheesesteak going on. Everything we ordered was yummy.
Service was good.
Diner was clean and condiments well stocked.
Don’t hesitate, just go.

Went here to compare between the original location in San Carlos, where I developed a craving for that cheesy meaty philly cheese sandwich w/​the best bread nobody can top!
The place is very consistent w/​the San Carlos location as the sandwich is packed w/​cheese and meat! The fries taste a little better as they’re not as hard and just the right amount of crunch when you bite into that potato fry. Also noted that the French fries weren’t as salty.
It still has the Philadelphia/​local sports theme to it but has a lot more seating compared to the other location.
Will definitely come back here if the other location is packed or God forbid… gets wrecked!

First time not bad. Fish sandwich nice treat. Felt great to celebrate a friends 41^st b day. Had a great night.

I am not a big fan of Cheesesteaks so this review is based on service and my other family members who LOVE Jersey Joe’s Cheesesteaks.
The kids would squeal with delight when they would find out «I am too tired to cook, dad is picking up Jersey Joes on his way home»…All food devoured, each time we would order I would try a different cheesesteak, each time it would be handed off to my teenage son who is going through a growth spurt. I would be called «un American», «your crazy», «how can you not LOVE this?» I finally gave up and came to the conclusion that I don’t like them!
Jersey Joes worked out great for us when my husband worked in Silicon Valley, I would order online and he would pick up on his way home. Never once did they screw up our order and the food was always ready and still hot. We have since moved to the North Bay now that my husband works in San Francisco, but my son has to get Jersey Joes whenever we are on the coast to see friends.
