In these tough economic times it has become more challenging to eat out and stay within your budget. As a small business owner, I understand the need to cut back. I take great pride in being able to provide good food without cutting back on quality at a price everyone can afford. Check out our weekly specials and get a taste of what Jay's Steak and Hoagie Joint has to offer.

Mondays are usually reserved for cleaning the ice cream machine, but this morning those plans got pushed back for a stack of party tray orders.

One of the things I love about our party trays is that you don’t have to choose between regular rolls and pretzel rolls—you can have both on the same tray and keep everyone happy.

Whether you’re feeding an office, a graduation party, a family gathering, or just a hungry crowd, we’ve got you covered with gluten-free and gluten-full options.

We know we don’t answer phones at the Joint, but party trays are easy to order:

Now that the trays are done, maybe I can finally get back to that ice cream machine.

Another week in the books, and another week without our ice cream cookie sandwiches.

I figured it was time for a little transparency.

Like everyone else, we’re feeling the effects of rising costs. The gluten-free cookies we use for our ice cream sandwiches have now more than doubled in price from when we first started carrying them. I’ve spent the last few weeks trying to find a more affordable option from another gluten-free baker and even looking into the possibility of making them in-house.

The cookies have gotten so expensive that I’d need to charge over $10 for an ice cream sandwich just to maintain the same margins we’ve always had. That’s not a price I’m comfortable asking people to pay, so for now we’ve decided to hit pause while we look for a better solution.

For now, we’ll be bringing back slices of ice cream cake, and after our vacation in a few weeks, I’m hoping we’ll have a new plan in place. More details on that tomorrow.

On a related note, we’ve been reopened for 7 months now, and today I received our sixth notice that beef prices are going up again—another 20 cents per pound starting next week. I bought enough to get us through until vacation, hopefully giving me some time to figure out what comes next. There comes a point where you can only absorb rising costs for so long before decisions have to be made.

At the same time, I’m trying to manage my own health, continue losing weight so I can have the surgery I need, run the day-to-day operations of the Joint, and keep prices as reasonable as possible for our customers. Some days it feels like every challenge shows up at once.

But we’re still here. We’re still fighting. We’re still serving the gluten-free and gluten-full food that got us here in the first place. And we’re still doing everything we can to keep Jay’s Joint affordable for the families who support us.

Thank you for sticking with us through all of it. ❤️

— Jay

Sometimes being a small business owner means making decisions you don’t like. I’d rather be honest with you about why we’re making them.

Growing Up on Jay’s Joint

One of the best parts of being here for all these years is getting to watch kids grow up.

This little guy has been part of the Jay’s Joint family for years. Even when in his momma’s belly . As a toddler , chicken fingers were always his go-to order. But about 7 years ago, when we introduced our gluten-free pretzel roll cheesesteaks, everything changed. One bite and he was hooked.

The gluten-free community has always been a huge part of our story, and photos like this remind us how many families we’ve been lucky enough to serve through the years. The kids in these old pictures are getting bigger, but some things never change… a great cheesesteak is still a great cheesesteak.

We’re here until 8 PM tonight serving up gluten-free and gluten-full cheesesteaks, chicken fingers, onion explosions, fried pickles, and more.

Stop by and make a few memories of your own. ❤️

This photo popped up in my memories today, and it really puts into perspective how quickly time flies.

Three siblings sitting on my mom’s bench under her Tree of Life, enjoying milkshakes at the Joint. Back when this picture was taken, I believe the oldest sister was heading into kindergarten. This fall, if I have my math right, she’ll be heading to middle school. The youngest, who wasn’t much more than a toddler then, is getting ready to start kindergarten himself.

Somehow, those years went by in the blink of an eye.

I never had kids of my own, but over the last 20 years I’ve been lucky enough to have thousands of “Jay’s Joint Kids.” I’ve watched first-day-of-school photos turn into graduation pictures, booster seats turn into driver’s licenses, and little kids ordering milkshakes turn into young adults bringing in friends of their own.

Mom always believed that food brings people together, and photos like this remind me that she was right. The food matters, but the memories and the people matter even more.

Early start to my day here at the Joint.

This time of year, I’d normally be loading up the Ambassador and heading out to graduations, parties, and events. Unfortunately, the truck won’t be booking for the 2026 season.

The reason is pretty simple: staffing.

Since reopening, we still haven’t been able to build the full team we need to comfortably handle the day-to-day operations at the Joint and get the Ambassador back out on the road. As much as I miss it, my first responsibility is making sure we’re taking care of our guests here at home.

The good news? We’re open today from 11 AM–8 PM serving up pretzel roll cheesesteaks, flour-tossed chicken fingers, Onion Explosions, fried pickles, and more. And yes — the chicken fingers, Onion Explosions, and fried pickles are all available gluten-free and prepared celiac-safe from our dedicated gluten-free kitchen.

It’s going to be a hot one today, so here’s a pro tip: a milkshake or an old-fashioned soda float makes a 90-degree day a whole lot more bearable.

Hope to see you at the Joint!

Most people don’t know this, but Jay the Mascot is actually almost a year older than Jay’s Joint.

Back when I was getting ready to leave the franchise world and start what would eventually become Jay’s Joint, I had a plan. I ordered a mascot in June to help get people familiar with “Jay” before the restaurant even existed.

The original plan? My dad was supposed to wear the suit, stand on the sidewalk, and wave a sign for whatever deal or special I was promoting that week.

Then life changed.

My dad passed away in August.

The mascot arrived in September, and suddenly the person who was supposed to wear it was gone. To make matters worse, I was already too big to fit into the fat suit myself. So the mascot got packed away.

Over the years, a few different people have worn the suit, but nobody has embraced the role quite like my wife. She even has a full-blown “Jay” voice that comes out whenever the mascot makes an appearance.

Today, after losing 135 pounds, I can finally wear the suit too. I’ve still got another 20-25 pounds to lose before I can have my hernia surgery, but fitting into the mascot is one of those milestones I never expected to hit.

It’s funny how things work out. What started as a marketing idea became a reminder of my dad, and years later it’s still around making people smile.

So if you see Jay the Mascot around town, make sure you say hi. Just know there’s a pretty good chance it’s my wife in there doing the voice.

Whether you’re regular or gluten-free, we’ve got you covered. Whether you prefer your cheesesteak on our famous pretzel roll or a traditional baguette, there’s an option for everyone.

And just like our menu has you covered, so does our patio dining. Enjoy the fresh air and breeze while staying shaded from the sun under our covered outdoor seating area. Order from the kiosk, grab a table, and relax while we take care of the rest.

Want to make it even easier? Order ahead online and receive convenient text alerts when your order is ready.

Great weather, great food, and easy ordering — sounds like a perfect day to stop by Jay’s!

The weather is beautiful, and we’re back open!

One thing that surprises a lot of people is that our meatballs have been made with gluten-free breadcrumbs for the last 13 years. Not because we set out to make “gluten-free meatballs”—but because that’s just how we’ve always done it.

They’re made fresh, they’re huge, and they’re prepared in our dedicated gluten-free kitchen, making them celiac-safe when ordered from the gluten-free side of the kitchen.

Whether you’re stopping in for one of our giant meatballs, a pretzel roll cheesesteak, or one of your other Jay’s favorites, we’ve got you covered.

The patio is open, the sun is out, and it’s a perfect day for outdoor dining or takeout.

Come enjoy the weather and let us do the cooking!

Food Bank Day – 12 Years and Counting
Today is Food Bank Day, and it marks 12 years since we started this program.
When I got out of the franchise system, I made a promise to myself: if I could keep my head above water, I would take some of the money I used to send out every week in royalties and use it to help local food banks instead.
For the first seven years in business, those royalty checks went elsewhere. Since then, we've been able to redirect those dollars back into our community.
Today, we're delivering 840 pounds of chicken breasts and chicken quarters, bringing our total donations over the years to more than 120,000 pounds of food.
In the beginning, we donated a mix of fresh fruit and meats. In 2016, the pantry told us that protein was their hardest item to obtain through state programs and donations, so we shifted our focus to providing a consistent protein source. When I hear there's a need, I try to fill it. That's just how I operate.
It's also why we're currently running a raffle to help Dre get a new smile. You still have a couple of days to get your tickets.
Tickets are $5 each via Venmo:
One lucky winner will receive lunch for themselves and up to 50 coworkers on June 10th.
Thanks to everyone who continues to support what we do. Have a great day. I'll be seeing the food bank volunteers in about 15 minutes, and hopefully I'll see the rest of you later this week for a fresh roll of cheesesteaks and more.

It’s gonna be a beautiful weekend here at the Joint! The patio is fully open, and it looks like we’ve got nothing but sunshine ahead. Don’t worry though — we’ve got the roof to keep you cool and out of the sun.
And that milk crate tower in the back? Just my attempt at repurposing our ice cream crates into backyard “garden art.” So be sure to order a shake and help me keep growing the garden one crate at a time 🍦🌿

Monday is Food Bank Day here at The Joint — and this month marks 12 years since we started our monthly food bank donations.
Back in 2013, after getting out of the franchise and becoming Jay’s Steak & Hoagie Joint — a name chosen by our customers through a vote — I promised myself that if we made it one year on our own, I would give a portion of our sales back to local food banks instead of paying royalties to a blood-sucking franchise.

Fast forward to today, and since June 2014 we’ve donated more than 120,000 pounds of food — including fruits, vegetables, meats, chicken breasts, chicken quarters, and even dozens of eggs whenever we can.

We switched to mostly protein donations in 2016 because that’s what many families need most. Even with food prices climbing out of control over the last four years, we’ve stayed committed to helping however we can.

Food Bank Day happens the first Monday of every month and usually only takes about an hour. Thank you to every customer, volunteer, and supporter who has helped make this possible over the last 12 years. We truly couldn’t do it without you.

After 36 hours disconnecting from work and spending time with one of my favorite people, my little cousin Tyler ❤️🎣, today it’s back to reality 😂
We spent the holiday fishing, made a trip to Cabela’s, and I’m happy to report that Tyler definitely caught the biggest fish of the trip. With his lucky marshmallow trout bate .
Today I’m back at it with my weekly ice cream machine cleaning and the rest of my Monday routine that I skipped yesterday. Small business life means the work is always waiting for you
But honestly, sometimes stepping away for a day or two and spending time with family is exactly what you need before jumping back into the grind.
Now back to reality and the list I need to catching up on. Before tomorrow’s cleaning and prep day that awaits.

It’s cold, wet, and raining 🌧️🥶 … but we’ve got you covered on the patio

This might not be the best Memorial Day weekend for a shore trip, but it’s **always** a good weekend for a **pretzel roll cheesesteak**

We’re here all weekend long **11–8 today**, and we’ll probably be closing a little early tomorrow — details on that to come.

💡 **Pro tip of the day:** Order ahead online based on your GPS driving time so your food is ready when you arrive. Then come sit down, stay dry, and enjoy it out on the patio

It’s Memorial Day Weekend and unfortunately Mother Nature may have other plans for those shore trips

Might not be the best weekend to head down the shore… but it’s a pretty great weekend to come hang out on our patio

We’ve got the walls down to keep things comfortable, cover to keep you out of the rain, and a nice breeze rolling through so you can still enjoy eating outside without getting soaked.

So if the beach plans got canceled, trade the boardwalk fries for pretzel roll cheesesteaks, gluten free favorites, and more

We’ll save you a seat on the patio
