In case you missed it yesterday, Jersey Jo's is now officially open for business in Rochester.
This is Joe Phillips' new East Coast flavored restaurant, j ust a couple of blocks from Mayo Clinic’s Saint Marys Hospital . It's located at 187 16th Ave. SW in the Shoppes on Second commercial center spot that was last occupied by Cousin’s Subs. Cousin's closed and sold its equipment to Phillips.
Jersey Jo’s menu is built around "authentic Philly C he esesteaks and more."
Phillips, a software programmer who will continue that profession remotely from the restaurant, said this new project started very simply.
"I couldn’t get a cheesesteak anywhere around here that I liked," he said. So after years of looking, he finally decided to open a place of his own.
In addition to Philly cheesesteaks, Jersey Jo’s also will serve cold hoagie sandwiches, chicken wings and a trio of specialty burgers. The meat will be sliced on-site, deli-style for each of the made-to-order sandwiches.
