Do you call it pork roll or Taylor ham? No matter where you fall on that long-time Jersey debate, the odds are the famous fried lunchmeat has made its way onto your plate at some point. Whether you were digging into pork roll sandwiches during school lunch or indulging in a pork roll, egg, and cheese for breakfast at a diner, it always tastes great. However, many people are only familiar with New Jersey pork roll one or two ways - and that's something Johnny's Pork Roll and Coffee Too is trying to change. After starting life as a food truck, this quirky Red Bank sandwich shop has expanded to a storefront where they dish out pork roll sandwiches any way you can imagine. You'll find over ten varieties of the iconic sandwich, fusing it with other sandwiches and cuisines. You never know what you'll find on the menu here, but there's always one constant - pork roll!
A tiny storefront in Red Bank, Johnny's Pork Roll and Coffee Too is a celebration of the most iconic Jersey lunchmeat.
This cafe began its life as a food truck, heading to fairs, food fests, and sporting events all around the state.
Today, it's an old-fashioned luncheonette - but almost everything on the menu centers around one iconic item.
That's right, it's pork roll! The beloved salty, crispy lunchmeat that tastes great no matter how you eat it - and here, you have your choice of sandwiches.
Over ten, in fact! There is, of course, a classic egg-and-cheese - with the added crispy twist of tater tots inside.
You can also celebrate the classic deli influence of the place with a pork roll reuben, piled high with sauerkraut.
Many of the sandwiches pair the pork roll with another meat, like bacon, shaved steak, or even roasted turkey.
Some of the sandwiches have international influence like the Cubano - which adds swiss cheese and pickles to the Cuban-style sandwich.
Not in the mood for a hefty sandwich? Dig into the loaded pulled pork tots - topped with cheese and diced pork roll. The restaurant calls them "Mosh Pit Tots"!
