Owners Dave and Lauren Jones know a thing or two about potatoes. Originally opening JAK-E Potato in 2005, the couple decided to close down in 2009 and take some well-deserved time to raise their three young children. Now, a little less than 10 years later, they're back and ready to serve some of the best sandwiches, burgers, steaks and potatoes that the Valley has to offer.
Dubbing the restaurant “craft takeout,” the couple says they focus on quality, not quantity, utilizing unique ingredients and elevated flavor profiles. Specialties include fresh, hand-cut, locally grown boardwalk-style fries, custom panini sandwiches, classic Reubens with house-made roast beef and their homemade bread.
“Our uniqueness is grounded in the quality of our product and attention to the small details. Most takeout [restaurants] don't roast their own meats or bake their own breads,” Dave notes.
Their reopening was warmly welcomed by locals. “When we closed in 2009, we received an incredible amount of sad notes lamenting the loss of their favorite sandwiches. When we re-opened this past June, JAK-E Nation turned out in droves to support us and order by number their favorite sandwich. People actually held on to their menus. It was a very humbling experience.”
