We are back yet again with our 2nd Gem's location. Since I had to retrieve my car at my friend's house following an eventful BBQ in Belford, I figured it would be the best time to check out the Junction location of Gem's. I remember this being a beloved location of Junction Bagels before Gem's took over, but how did the takeover treat the pork roll, egg, and cheese? Let's dive in.
Bread Rating: 5.9/10 (The bagel was pretty bland, to be honest, it was maybe just a step up from a bagel from Panera. Not great.)
Pork Roll Rating: 6.8/10 (Two thin slices so it was a bit skimpy, but the grillmaster did a great job with it that the sandwich was salvaged a bit.)
Egg Rating: 6.5/10 (an Average fried egg that took up the majority of the sandwich.)
Cheese Rating: 6.9/10 (Typical yellow American cheese, there was the appropriate amount of cheese on it.)
Sandwich Composition: 6.1/10 (Pros: SPK ratio was right on. Cons: Poor pork roll to egg ratio)
Overall Rating: 6.4/10 (I remember this location being much better when I was growing up, but really this was pretty below average for me. Of course, if you live near the junction you could do much worse than to have this in your neighborhood, there are just better places to go for a pork roll sandwich.)
Price: $5.35, cards accepted with a convenience fee (I think it was an extra .20.)
Gem's Belford Junction is located at 106 Leonardville Rd, Belford, NJ 07718.
