Would agree with both other reviews. Excellent sandwich, piled high with juicy meat. Flavorful and great value for money. Peppers out of this world.

Dipped with hot peppers

BerwynMuscle's Review:

I tried this place out a few months back, and was happy with the beef. The inside of the restaurant is a bit kooky. It looks like it used to be a Mediterranean or Indian restaurant, and now they sell beefs and burgers. Anyhow that does not really matter or change the taste of the beef.  I agree with brontoburger, and think the peppers were great here. I never had anything like these before. Very homemade and very fresh.

brontoburger's Review:

I was really excited to learn that there was a new Beef place close to my house and it was called Jay's Beef, so not too long ago I got to have lunch there, as it was closed when I tried to order there a few Sundays prior. Apparently they have been open since 2007 and I'm assuming it was towards the end of the year. At any rate, I finally got to check this place out and I was pleased. The beef itself was pretty tasty but maybe could have been seasoned a little more, either that or I like more sodium in my meals. The bun was nice a fresh and they dipped it the way a dipped beef should be dipped. However, the real show stopper here was the hot peppers, I'm pretty sure they are made in house because they were unlike any I've ever seen any place else. These peppers had a nice hand cut quality, had significant heat and spice and also had a good crunch, which I thought was kind of unconventional but really worked. I would highly recommend Jay's Beef for anyone that wants a quality Beef from people that know what they're doing, I would also like to add that even if you don't normally order yours hot, give them a try at this spot, the peppers here aren't excessively spicy, really fresh and most importantly, taste great.
