There are not many places in Idaho where you can get authentic New Jersey pork roll. In fact, we can think of only one: the Jersey Girl sandwich shop in Hailey. This quaint eatery proudly serves New Jersey's most famous sandwich, and it's definitely worth biting into.
Jersey Girl is owned and operated by local entrepreneur Hannah McNees, an actual "Jersey Girl" who moved to Idaho as a teenager. She briefly moved back East as an adult before realizing that the Gem State was her true home. She came back, and she decided to create her own little slice of N.J. right here—the best of both worlds!

Order "The Jersey Girl", a sandwich comprised of pork roll (ordered straight from Trenton so you know it's the real deal), egg, and cheese on a toasted everything bagel. After one bite, you'll understand why it's Jersey's signature sandwich.
Another popular option is the shop's famous meatball sandwich. Made from a recipe that represents McNees' true Italian genes, these meatballs are absolutely heavenly. The sandwich comes topped with Grandpa Al's "True Italian Sauce", parmesan, and melted mozzarella.
There are a lot of options at Jersey Girl, including a wide assortment of sandwiches, salads, soups, breakfast burritos, and so much more. Made-to-order with fresh ingredients each and every time, you can't help but adore every single bite.
