Cheessteaks just expanded to the best possible NJ location

I’m a Seaside Heights guy. It’s always been my go-to boardwalk since my childhood. You know how the Seaside Heights boardwalk seems to have its own ecosystem?

There’s the pizza slice you grab because it’s there, the zeppoles you didn’t plan on but suddenly need, and the sausage sandwich that somehow tastes better with a little ocean air mixed in.

Now toss a heavyweight into that mix to really shake things up.

A fast-growing Jersey brand, CHEESSTEAKS, just announced on social media that it's opening its ninth location and they didn’t pick some sleepy strip mall.

They went straight for the boardwalk in Seaside Heights. Not just any stretch, either. We’re talking steps from the original “Jersey Shore” house used in the MTV show.

How can this not be a hit?

These guys already crank out hundreds of cheesesteaks a day. Ribeye. Cooper Sharp. Fast-moving line. Loud kitchen. The kind of place where you can feel the pace before you even order. It’s part food stand, part Jersey attitude. You have to believe they’ll be a great fit here.

Co-owner Antonio Delgado isn’t pretending they’re easing into this. He has said they’re here to take over.

Think about it. The boardwalk runs on volume. Quick decisions. Big flavors.

CHEESSTEAKS was practically built for that environment.

The first one opened in March of last year in Merchantville, which is in Camden County. Only three months later, a second location started serving up their cheesesteaks and uniquely flavored wings in Belmar.

Now with the addition of the Seaside Heights location, they will be boasting nine locations with no signs of slowing down. NJ.com reports there's talk of a 10th location coming to Vineland.

When I take exit 82 this summer, I know the first place I’m stopping.
