Restaurant Review-Jumpin’ Jonny’s
So I have decided to write about different restaurants each week that Evan and I try around the Raleigh area. I figured there are enough people in the area reading this blog so I thought others may find his useful! Evan and I eat out every Friday, it is really the only time we do eat out so we try to pick really unique places with fabulous food. Sometimes we go to sit down places, sometimes more casual cheap eats but we are always searching for good food at a good price.
This past Friday night we tried a place recommended by one of my coworkers. Jumpin’ Jonny’s is a small place tucked in the Brier Creek area near the Red Robin and Walmart. I never even knew it was there, probably because I try to avoid that area with all the crazy drivers. This place claims to have the best cheesesteaks in the area, they serve made to order cheesesteaks and subs. The menu is not extensive but they offer a good variety of options for your sandwich. I got the Steak Philly Deluxe, a cheesesteak with onions, peppers, mushrooms and provolone. Evan got the Triple Cheesesteak with swiss, american and provolone cheese. We also split an order of fries, really good fresh cut fries. The bread was really good, you have the option of white or wheat but come on if you are going to have a cheesesteak get the traditional white bread. The ingredients are fresh but I feel like the cheesesteaks were missing some seasoning. I would have also preferred a bit more cheese, maybe melt the cheese throughout the meat instead of melted on top.
Overall I would give Jumpin’ Jonny’s a 7. It is a good value (on Fridays you can get 2 combos for $14) the staff is friendly, and the product is fresh. We will probably return again when we are craving a cheesesteak but don’t have time to fly to Philly.

Crazy - I ate there last night for the first time. I mistakenly got the chicken philly. There is a coupon out for BOGO so I got Mike the steak philly. I would rate the chicken a 6 out of 10. It needed more cheese and mayo ( a little dry). It was nice to try something different but I still prefer Firehouse Subs which is always moist and loaded with extras.
