Another day another pork roll. This beautiful little number made NJ.com's list of top 25 pork rolls in New Jersey. I will say it's certainly one of the largest I've had, with a very different type of bread (toasted sesame roll) and a mountain of pork roll only topped by Slater's Deli in Middletown. Is it a little weird that a place in Monmouth County has hoagie in the name? Maybe a little bit. But this was a very clean and friendly deli a couple of blocks off of Main Street Manasquan. It's always best to do these during the winter, not only because there's not a singly Benny in sight, but also to support these businesses who see a natural downturn during the winter doubled by covid. So expect to see some more Jersey Shore locations coming this week.
Bread Rating: 7.6/10 (Hoagie Jo's uses a sesame roll, which is unique. The bread itself was lightly toasted, and oh is that whole wheat I taste?)
Pork Roll Rating: 8.3/10 (The pork roll is stacked on this sandwich. Thick and plentiful with a bit of a crunch.)
Egg Rating: 7.2/10 (Regular fried egg, nothing special here)
Cheese Rating: 4.5/10 (Unfortunately, it was an unmelted slice of cheese which threw off what was going right on this sandwich.)
Sandwich Composition: 6.5/10 (Everything slid all over the place without the melted cheese around to keep it all together.)
Overall Rating: 6.82/10 (This was different than many PEC's in the area, and the mountain of pork roll is always a good thing but it just didn't hit me as the full package. I don't know maybe I'm wrong, guess we will find out this March during the 2nd annual PEC tournament.)
Price: $6
Hoagie Jo's is located at 56 Union Ave, Manasquan, NJ 08736
