Jersey's is a great neighborhood bar for food and drink and atmosphere, but your experience will vary depending on which server you happen to get. Â There is one really good server that is sweet and treats you like you are a guest in her own home, and then there's Krista who has been rude on several occasions, will provoke arguments with customers, and once told a customer "you don't have to be here." Â Best to call ahead to see who is working..
Review Source:The fiance & I came here for lunch on a Saturday (6/22) and had the best buffalo chicken sliders and steak sandwiches ever! Â Ever ever ever!
We had our choice of eating in the non-bar side, the patio, or the bar side so we chose a booth in the bar with all the tvs and banners and jerseys hung all over the place.
We started off with a Roy Rogers and iced tea as well as the best tossed green salad that I've ever had. Â I think it had arugula and some herbs in it. Â I mean I just had it with ranch dressing but it definitely wasn't just a regular side salad.
My salad was followed by epicness.
We had a really nice server who gave us the run-down of what a typical sports night would be like. Â It sounded pretty nuts. Â We told her how much we loved our food and she hoped to see us back again soon. Â
The parking situation seems like it could get nutty as well, meaning there's not a lot of it. Â The prices on the menus were just as palatable as the food.
We will certainly be back.
On Tuesday June 18 we took advantage of the gorgeous weather and rode our bikes up the trail north. We were thinking, "hey let's get a beer somewhere that has outdoor seating". Then Jersey's came into view, we noticed they had outside seating and thought we'd give them a try. We walked in, approached the bartenders (there were 2) yet we were standing there for a few minutes. How many bartenders does it take to take a simple order, or at least make a simple  acknowledgement?
There was a bartender who was clearly not doing anything (dark short hair, wearing glasses) except chatting it up with a blonde sitting at the bar; he looked right at us then continued talking to her - idol chit chat. The other bartender was busy, and I just thought it odd that the non-busy bartender could at least say something like, "your bartender will be right with you" or some other simple acknowledgement.
Finally the busy bartender (also dark short hair, possibly of Hispanic heritage) came over and asked us what we wanted in a cordial manner, yet he seemed somewhat distracted. We ordered a pitcher a beer (it was $13 for a pitcher of Pacifico, save your money), then we informed him we wanted to sit outside. We then asked for a menu and inquired about getting service on the patio. He told us he would take care of us.
The non-busy bartender confirmed that  as well as we walked out to the patio. So we get out there, we're the only ones there, and  i thought, "gee, it would be nice to have some music on the patio". So we're sitting out there, sitting, waiting, drinking, for about 30-40 minutes, and not one bartender or server came out to take our order. So i guess i'm not sure if there is even waitstaff service at Jersey's?
We finish our pitcher and realize we aren't staying for anything else. We walk back inside to cash out our tab and the non-busy bartender again is just standing around and finally we say, "we want our tab" and again, he points to the busy bartender. Then there was a more formal looking bar manager type who also realized we wanted our tab but unfortunately confirmed the same thing, we could get that from the busy bartender.
Again, how many bartenders does it take? It was like watching a monkey hugging a football! When we did finally cash out, there was no acknowledgement, like he didn't remember us asking for a menu and possibly ordering some food. If we were supposed to come back inside and order from the bartender, we were not informed of that, so you need to train your people to inform your customers that's how it works there.
Oh, and is there a Happy Hour? Because if there is, there was no mention of it. If there isn't, that is very sad. We were very disappointed and won't be back  here ever again. We biked down the street to Darrell's, got some tacos, some beers and much better service. And just for the record, our tab at Darrell's which comprised of 6 tacos and 3 tall cans was just less that the price of one pitcher of beer at Jersey's.
Just sayin'...
I went to the bar to check out the NBA Finals and was going in search of a good sports bar experience.  I must say there is nothing that made the experience a bad time, but it also did not have any aspect that made it extraordinary.  I had their signature BBQ Burger and it did taste really good.  I also had their tomato bisque soup which was the best part of  the whole time there.  I definitely recommend that soup if you ever go there.  The price was fair; I walked out spending $25 after having two beers with it.  I will continue my search of finding the best sports bar in the area, but I hope this one doesn't win.  It did have quite a few TVs, but the area to watch wasn't very large and would easily get filled up for a Seahawks game.
Review Source:This place is just ok, but with limited choices in Shoreline I keep coming back from some reason.
I'd go here for the bar, but not for the food. My youngest likes their take on Macaroni and Cheese, but my oldest won't eat anything on their kids menu here as their kids burger looks straight out of the freezer and other options are lacking.
The hamburgers are just ok, but the meat is lacking flavor, and the other items I have had on the menu are just ok. The one good thing I have had is the Asada sandwich and meal. Both are actually rather good, but expensive.
Service is normally excellent however and everyone that works there is extremely nice.
Ok for a place to go with the kids and watch a game at the same time, but I wouldn't go here if it wasn't so close to my house.
Love coming to Jersey's and I can come with or without my kid and still be promised a great experience! Â The servers are always very friendly and I have yet to have a single thing on the menu that wasn't absolutely fabulous. Â The place is clean, there is plenty of booths and tables and on Tuesday nights kid's eat free with the purchase of an adult entree- can't beat that!
Whether you are looking for a night out with friends in a casual sports bar or a place to have dinner with your family- I highly recommend Jersey's. Â I encourage you to try their Crunchy Big Blue Salad with Carne Asada and their Bread Pudding- to die for!
I've been here twice for trivia on Thursday night. Brian is awesome and makes the place feel very welcoming. The group I go with are regulars, so it's may not be too fair for me to mention the service, but it's awesome! Next time I think I'm going to try a burger because I have yet to eat here, but the food always smells SO good!
Review Source:This is a sports bar with direct TV, so I'm giving this a 5 star based on 1-5 stars for SPORTS BARS, not to be competing with Fine dining or Fast Food. Â All of my ratings are stars relating to what you expect for the category.
I would rate the usual sports bar as a 2 or 3 most times; i.e. smells like spilled old beer, greasy food, over served and under experienced young clientele, etc. Â Jersey's was none of that. Â We had:
1) Very attentive server, Â friendly, no pressure.
2) Clean restaurant, nice menu, good selection on both menus and tv's.
3) Surprisingly VERY good food! Â Enormous and tasty Club Sandwich with quality ingredients, super tasty fries, a BBQ burger dip that was unique, saucy but not sloppy...and yum! Â Drinks - Nice pours, good selection, and fair prices. Â Dessert - EXCELLENT Creme Brule for........FOUR DOLLARS! Â Four dollars??? Â Wow. Â Came with fresh raspberries. Â No complaints at all. Â Used a $10 off coupon from the Entertainment Book. Â Our total for value/quality received was very reasonable. Â
I have no complaints. Â If I still lived in Shoreline, we'd probably be here a lot, especially due to the lack of quality places in Shoreline otherwise. Â I hope more people start going to Jersey's due to reviews like these. Â Support the local guy - at this one, you won't be disappointed at all.
I really like this place. My softball team and I often come here after games. I've been here at least 20 times and have never really had a bad experience. The food is really nice, especially for a sports bar. To me that's where it sets itself apart. Sports bar food can be a little suspect at times, but i think you kinda know that going in. But here they seem to put a little more care into the kitchen and it shows. The wings are damn solid, pasta dishes are A OK, and sandwiches hit the spot. Service is friendly. Seems like its always the same staff when we come one and that's cool. Lets ya get to know people a little bit. My one complaint is I've never won big money on the pull tabs which I blame soley on the person that hands them to me. But that's neither here nor there....
Love watching games here, love kicking back here, love havin some where close by to go to after games. Keep on keepin on.
I had a wonderful experience coming to Jersey's! Our work group went there and everyone loved their lunches and drinks! The portions are hug and delicious!
I got the chicken strips from the 'starters' section and it was large enough for an entree. Other great entrees are the taco salad, chilli, or a burger!
The waitress was fabulous and the atmosphere is fun. Family friendly and a sports bar. I will definitely come back with friends or family!
My husband was introduced to Jersey's by some friends, and after hearing him talk about how good the food was, we both went together for the first about 1.5 years ago. They have such good food! We've been back numerous times and I've never been disappointed. Some of my favorites include the seafood chowder (which is to DIE for), their chicken finger sandwich (huge and absolutely delicious), and their quesadilla. Really, we've never gotten something that we haven't liked.
The atmosphere is what you'd expect: It's a sports bar divided into the family-friendly and bar sections, with TVs in the bar that are always tuned to ESPN. The waitstaff is generally friendly and attentive, though they are better in the bar than they are in the family section. Overall, this is just a really good place to find delicious, casual food.
As a note, the parking lot is incredibly small, and sometimes parking is a pain. Other than that, great experiences!
My family and I enjoy coming here. It's pretty small in size, but always have a place for us to sit.
I like that they have "different" games for my son to play with - gets his attention elsewhere while we wait for dinner. Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots - awesome!
The food we've ordered has always been tasty, and fresh. Try their homemade chips- they come with this amazing seasoning! Nom nom!
Good place to get a quick bite to eat, if you're not on date night and want to get out of the house. Kids eat for free on Tuesdays, but I think it's only 3 of the kids menu items that are considered "free".
Enjoy!
I went back to Jersey's for the second time in less than three weeks, with a friend, and
the experience this time was an about face in a very good way. Â The food was excellent and the waitress, very attentive and friendly. Â The barbeque sandwiches were to die for;
overall, we definitely got our money's worth with the very large portions and excellent
service. Â We'll be repeat customers for sure, especially during televised sporting events.
Our only suggestion to the owner would be to replace the antiquated TV behind
the bar, with a very large, high definition model. Â Also, remove the light fixture, directly
in front of the above TV, for better viewing.
At a family gathering (about 10 of us) a number of our orders were delivered incorrectly - even though the waiter explicitly wrote down our orders, noting ahead of time that with so many people at one table he may not be able to remember it all without doing so.
The milk I ordered with my meal was served almost immediately, though the food was at least 10 minutes away. Â I didn't think of it at the time since I was engaged in conversation, but by the time the meal arrived the milk was warm from having sat out. Â I would expect a good waiter to know not to serve milk so long before the main meal.
The food itself was alright, though my burger was a bit undercooked for my taste (the same waiter never asked for a cooking preference).
The atmosphere was quiet - there was but one other party present at the time - so conversation was easy. Â The parking lot seems much too small (though maybe there are more spaces around back).
Date night:  My wife and I decided to do a Bar Crawls on our own.  Tuck behind a brand spanking new Shoreline City Hall and across the street from Top Food sit Jersey's.  It is easy to drive right by Jersey's and not see it unless you knew where you were going.  But this was our second time here and we did enjoy the food.  Tonight however we went into the bar for Happy Hour.  The bar was not overcrowded  so we found a comfortable table right away and service was quick.  Jersey's is  a Sports bar with Flat Screens around to the room with different sports game on, howeverr on this night the bar had a DJ on a turn table playing top 40 music.  My wife was mermerized by the spot of light dancing around the room from the pair of  disco globes.  It was such an unusual setup for a Sports bar.  I didn't even see an area  where a couples could dance.  When Happy Hour was over, half the people in the bar cleared.  Obviously the Sport bar is trying to experiment with keeping patrons a little longer.
What do I like about Jersey's?:
In the Sports Bar the music wasn't loud enough to be too distracting.
Service was good.
The drinks were good and cheap.
What I don't like about Jersey's?:
Parking could be better.
Getting in and out of the restaurant's driveway can be challenge.
My sister and I just noticed this place for the first time, though we've lived here almost two years, so we decided to make a trip over some night.
We were impressed by how nice and clean it was. It looks like it could go either way from the outside, but it definitely exceeded our expectations. The waitress was nice, and the restaurant had 5-8 tables with patrons, mostly women which was surprising since Jersey's is a sports bar.
Both of us got salads. My sister's had very tasty fried chicken and bacon, while mine was BBQ chicken and pesto. I couldn't taste any pesto and the dressing wasn't very flavorful, but the crispy sticks were delicious and the BBQ was decent.
I'd definitely try this place again, though probably for happy hour.
My wife and I came here for Happy Hour since we didn't have our daughter for the weekend. We came before the dinner rush so there was barely anyone in the bar or restaurant. We sat at the bar and ordered some drinks. I had a delicious glass of my favorite beer Mac & Jacks and my wife had a Long Island Iced Tea.
We started off by ordering the Giant Onion Tower that are delicious beer battered onion rings seasoned with salt and pepper and they cost only $7.95. Probably some of the best onion rings I have had. I then ordered the Chipotle BBQ Burger Dip that was a grilled 1/3 lb. burger smothered in Chipotle BBQ sauce, cheddar jack cheese, fried sweet onions, lettuce and tomato and a side of BBQ sauce for dipping that cost $8.95. The burger was so tasty and juicy that everytime I would take a bite the juices would run down my hand. My wife ordered the Jersey's Crunchy Big Blue whih was is a salad that has crispy greens, Carna Asada, candied pecans, smokey bacon, tomatoes, onions and bartlett pears tossed in a homemade dressing that cost $9.95. The salad itself is really good with big pieces of Carna Asada and the homemade bleu cheese dressing is amazing. The food was excellent and seems like it gets better every time we go.
Good sports bar setting. Â Nice tv's, big space, lots of tables, Golden Tee. Â We went on a Friday night and it was not very busy. Â There was a football game on and it seemed like that drew some people in. Â Decent service. Â Overpriced, weak drinks, but when we told the waitress our rockstar vodka's tasted like Koolaid she did bring us each a shot to add to our drink. Â There were 3 of us, we didn't eat and each only had 1 drink and our tab was $24. Â I thought that was crazy. Â If there's a happy hour I might try this place again.
Review Source:I have one slight complaint....that Jersey's is not closer to my house. Â It's in a weird spot on 175th next to City Hall tucked in next to a Grease Monkey. Â The parking's limited (although there is a City of Shoreline garage steps away), and the building while nice, doesn't stand out. Â If you didn't know it was there, you might not notice it.
What makes it 5 stars in my opinion are all the essential stuff that I want in a good watering hole/sports bar. Â Jersey's does this very well! Â The food is excellent, priced right, fresh, and plentiful. Â Love the food here. Â The servers/staff are friendly & personable. Â I always feel welcome even though I don't get here that often. Â They have enough TVs (more's always better) to see whatever game you're looking for from wherever you're sitting in the small-to-medium sized bar.
How could I improve Jerseys? Â As far as the core fundamentals I use to decide if I want to come back to a joint? Â I couldn't. Â Jersey's has got it all. Â It's very simple, a nice little collection of sports memorabilia, nice LCD TVs, and it's perfectly adequate in so many ways. Â It separates itself with quality, friendliness, and service. Â
Always looking forward to my next visit.
Another negitive point against Jerseys was the Owner/Cook sending me a nasty mean spirited message based off my accurate and less than stellar review.  Instead of accusing and blaming me Mr. Owner dude, why dont you address the actual concerns of  long time patrons and fix the situation.  Apparently the Bad Attidude I mentioned with the wait staff was learned directly from the top dog himself.
Review Source:I. Love. Jersey's. Â The ony reason they don't get 5 stars is because the wait for your food might be a tad long if you're in a hurry, but I'm pretty sure the reason it takes awhile to get your food is because they're actually MAKING it in the back, instead of reheating something out of a bag. Â
I've been here with my friends, my husband (in the bar), and my kids and have LOVED the food every time. Â My favorites are the sliders (any of them, I've tried almost all of them). Â My husband has tried a few of the pastas and loves those, and my kids have eaten everything off the kids eat free menu (Tuesday nights- hooray!) and usually clean their plates. Â (Well, most of the time- the portions are BIG!). Â Oh yeah, and the homemade chips- BOMB! Â Sooo yummy! Â I don't know what they put on them but I always order a side of them to go with whatever I get to eat (if it doesn't already come with them).
Our servers have always been super friendly and the place is always clean. Â
If you're looking for DELICIOUS food, and don't mind waiting a little longer for it, then GO! Â We were still in and out of there within an hour, stuffed and happy, so I'm not even talking about a super long wait.
Came here for 2nd lunch/snack. Â If you want greasy bar food, this is the place to go. Â Ordered the kobe beef sliders (appetizer). Â Sliders were GINORMOUS. Â Then I realized they were only ginormous because of the huge buns they use. Â After removing most of the bun, the sliders were bearable.
Like I said, great place to go maybe at night with some buds for some bar food and beers and to watch some Sportscenter. Â Looking for a casual lunch/dinner? Â Go elsewhere.
So, a group of about 8 of us decided to go have a few beers here because we were in the neighborhood. Â I had no expectations of the food, as this was a spur of the moment type deal and it's a sports bar.
We ordered some food and it was DELICIOUS! Â I couldn't believe it! Â Now that I'm here online and see the other reviews, I know others think the food is good too, but really, I was surprised.
We shared the pork sliders and mozzarella cheese. Â I sampled some of my friend's items, and everything was actually really great tasting!
My group sat in the bar, but the other half of the place is a sit down restaurant type atmosphere with booths. Â Our server was very attentive and friendly.
I will definitely go back to Jersey's to try more food.
I was excited to try this place after reading the reviews.
Oh well. Â Unfortunately, our food was impressively bland and tasteless.
I think that if you go, you should get the burger as my kids' burger was the best thing we had.
All and all I would say pass this place up and head down the hill to the Lake Forest Grill as they have similar food that is actually spicy when it should be spicy, crunchy when it to be crunchy and the atmosphere is much cooler.
On a positive note we have prefect service (there were only 5 other people in the place).
Jersey's is my favorite sports bar north of Seattle. The food is delicious, the service is friendly, and they even have the NHL Center Ice TV package.
My favorite menu items are the Buffalo Chicken sandwich with a baked potato side. Also, they've got some great sliders. I also love their short rib. Amazing.
Don't believe all of these negative reviews. Jersey's is the place to go for great food in Shoreline.
So not all the reviews for Jersey's are sparkling, but it's very close to home and I wanted bar food like a priest wants a BJ, so the roommate and I headed here for what we hoped would be decent burgers and standard bar-fare.
Jersey's seemed to fit the bill for what we were looking for. You have two options; a more family-style seating area, or the sports bar section to the right of the entrance. We chose the latter. The space has a lot of TVs and it looks like they tried to keep different games on each tv to satisfy fans of all sports and all teams, which is excellent. But they are almost missing the boat, as another reviewer stated the space seems a little sterile. Although, can you go wrong with a restaurant feeling "clean?" not really.
We decided to split their standard bacon cheese burger and their buttermilk fried chicken sandwich. (clearly we're on a health kick right now, eh?) The burger was perfectly cooked, not too dry, not too moist or pink, just perfect. The chicken burger was bordering on amazing. I'll probably have cravings for that thing for months now. Fries were au naturale and a bit on the salty side, but who doesn't like their sodium level to be a tad high? I certainly do.
Our server was friend and relatively attentive without being too in our faces and annoying. We had our water refilled regularly and overall a really great experience. PLUS when I asked the server to turn the tv closest to us to the WSU/Gonzaga basketball game she happily obliged. +1, yo. Overall a good experience with staff and a tasty meal; we'll be back.
51! Â Minutes from the time I received a menu until the time I was asked if I wanted food.
27! Minutes from the time I ordered chicken wings until the time I received said chicken wings.
6! Number of chicken wings received for $8.95.
0! Times I will return to Jersey's.
I have given Jersey's many chances to impress me.  A friend of mine  keeps telling me that I need to give the food and the staff a chance.  They ran out of chances.  The service is always slow and the food, while good, is not good enough for the price charged and time spent waiting.
Final destination for the weekend night? Â Maybe if your grabbing a night cap or dinner. Â Good food, seems to be cold in there a lot though (bring a jacket or sweat shirt). We have gone to Trivia nights the last few Thursday nights and have had a good time, especially when Julia is bartender (SO COOL!). Â Looking for a different meal, and like buffalo chicken as much as I do? Â Try the Buffalo Chicken Sliders (or any of the Sliders for that matter). Â *One other plus about this place is the free trivia and poker you get to play on their flat screens! **Good beer selection! Â
Good place to mix up the daily grind during the week.
The place was dead on a Friday night. We were the only customers at about 11 o'clock. The bartender said it was unusual. She was kind enough to make our reqested drink which she'd never heard of. She allowed us to prompt her with the ingredients and how to make it.
Unfortunately, the place has no character. A sea of high tables and stools, flat screens on the wall - it felt sterile. So many opportunities with the space, but they didn't pull it off.
Due to the good reviews here and the fact that it's sort of in our neighborhood, we'll give them another chance.
I like this place! Â Must still be pretty new cuz I was the only customer for the first hour (got there at 9:30AM) but that was fine by me. Â The Bloody Marys are great! Â It is happy hour ALL day on Sunday so the Mary was cheaper and I could have ordered appetizers for breakfast. Â Probably should have done that because the biscuits and gravy I got were enough to feed 2 people....or at least 1 1/2 of me. Â They were good, the potatoes that came with them were really good and my eggs were done perfectly. Â I was given my fav green tabasco for the food....boy do I appreciate that. Â Did not even need to add it to the Mary. Â :)
It is a SPORTS BAR Â so the decor is SPORTS related. Â LOL! Â It was clean, some cool stuff on the walls, counters, bathroom door handles are baseball bats, etc. Â Not what I would call romantic but, I wouldn't go to a sports bar for romance or candlelight anyway.
I will be going back I am sure. Â Maybe next time: 5 stars.
Back again 5/15/11 for breakfast with hubby. Â Krista is always so nice and provides great service. Â Breakfast is so filling for a very reasonable price. Â We always enjoy our time at Jersey's!
Jersey's stock is RISING! Â You've officially won my affections back, more than ever. Â Trivia last night was a great time, as usual. Â I've been getting this chicken fettuccine lately, and MmMm is it seriously the real deal good. Â They have been nice enough to take the order without garlic and then they actually DO leave the garlic off of it! Â Last night, they even made me toasty bread for the side that didn't have garlic (and I didn't even request that change!) Â I am one happy girl with the marked improvements at Jersey's.
Review Source:This is a new business opened by the owners of GT's Sports bar (which has closed). It's also a sports bar, just a step away from the old GT's location, but in a much nicer, cleaner new building.
The building is divided into two parts: a bar, and an eating area. Neither look particularly impressive, though the bar has several flat-screen TVs mounted around the room, and a number of darts machines. It's a standard sports bar, and so not of much interest to this non-sports loving gal.
The eating area is also nothing much to look at; there are framed sports jerseys around the room (hence the name) and not much else. The food, however, is surprisingly good! They serve breakfast until 2pm on weekends, but when we were in, we opted for soup and sandwiches. I had the club, and it was large and tasty, with lots of everything heaped on. My husband's sandwich was also almost more than he could eat; it was a little greasy, but he enjoyed it. The clam chowder that he also had was quite good; it's made completely from scratch on site - much better than the canned stuff you so often get.
There is a pretty good selection of beers on tap; we're hoping they get a few more in, but for a neighborhood pub, not bad.
As we were leaving, we bought a couple of the homemade cupcakes offered on the fresh board...and were not disappointed! They're large and tasty, and went great with our coffee the next morning.
Overall, we're happy that Jersey's opened in our neighborhood, and we're looking forward to trying breakfast there soon.
