Garlic Fries
Isabelle W.

Had this for lunch yesterday, and I've gotta say that I really enjoyed it . I've been trying to explore Gilroy more, so it's nice to know I have a go-to place to grab a quick bite that's close by! Good service is ALWAYS a must for me, and this place has just that! Right when my boyfriend and I walked in, we were already greeted with warm smiles. They were very pleasant and helpful. They would also check in with us throughout the meal to make sure we were having a great time. The food came out fairly quickly and I chomped everything down. So tasty! We got the Californian Cheesesteak and the Garlic Fries which was definitely great to split between the two of us (portion sizes were def fair). The only gripe I have is that I wish the garlic fries had more garlic . I'm a garlic gal after all! Might ask them for a bit more next time. Will definitely be back for more good food!!

Regular Fries

I like their buffalo wings. I asked for them well done and they did a great job but they gave me all flats and no drums which was kind of disappointing. I didn't ask for all flats. I've tried their Philly cheese steak sandwich and it was okay. The meat didn't have enough flavor for me and I didn't taste any cheese so I suppose I would ask for extra cheese if I ever ordered it again. Their fries here are shoe string fries. I ordered a side of regular fries they gave me a whole half to-go box full. For sure sharing size. What a bang for your buck. They have a small area to sit down and eat inside and small area outside.

Great place - you are greeted immediately as you enter into the place. The place was small but had 6-7 small tables and SF Giants memorabilia hung on the walls. We tried the A-Jay's Classic with extra meat. When the sandwich was cooked, she brought it to the table. Great service! The sandwich was piping hot, and when you took a bite out of it, it was a nice clean taste. Not greasy like some other places. The bread was nice and soft, though, a bit bready. If you got the sandwich to go, it would hold up and not get too soggy. If that makes sense. French fries were normal. Good crunch and super hot. good portion but pricey.

Philly cheesesteak and Tots
Jessica S.

We found this place and we fell in love. Service was amazing. Food was fresh and hot. clean bathrooms always a plus.

Pepper Steak Cheesesteak
Arthur B.

This place is a solid go to! Best Philly Cheesesteak this side of Philidelphia, hands down! The portions are enormous, careful how many sides you order lol The staff was very friendly and super helpful when ordering. The food came out very quick and did not disappoint at all. The chili was so good, I couldn't stay out of the chili cheese tots and was barely able to finish half of my cheesesteak. That never happens! The prices were extremely decent for the portions we received. Everything is made in house and is as fresh as fresh can be. What a treat! Highly recommend!! 9.4/10

South Country Cheesesteak
Macarena O.

Came here for a quick dinner. My husband got the south country cheesesteak sandwich which I think he loved cause he ate it all lol and I got the tuna salad with blue cheese dressing. The portions are pretty big. I had tuna salad for two meals! Really generous with the tuna which I loved. We got curly fries too and portion it was big as well. Price and staff were good too! The place is a bit small so we sit outside but we didn't mind it :)

The food tasted ok. But it was off put by the disgusting sanitation of the front lobby. Even worse than the front lobby is the front patio sidewalk. All of the other vendors in the court, clean their sidewalks. This one has flies growing on theirs. That's why I can't give them, a 4. If the place was clean, the food might not have been as hard to swallow.

This place is so yummy!!!! Me, the hubby and daughter came for a late lunch/dinner. It was so delicious. I got the classic with cheezwhiz ( I had to do it right), and the hubby got the pastrami with hot peppers. The bread was so soft and the meat on both was nice and tender. 1st time having an authentic cheesesteak and it did not disappoint! We both couldn't pass up getting the garlic fries. perfect amount of garlic and crispy. Service was great and the cashier did inform us that it'll be a little bit of a wait because everything was cooked to order, which was no problem. Ambiance was good. good amount of seating. Would definitely recommend if your looking for authentic cheesesteaks.

Burnt onion rings not worth any price let alone 10$
Emily C.

With respect, I've been coming here for years and have never been treated so disrespectfully. Getting my order wrong and overcharging I can understand. But to jump down my throat about how many condiments my husband wants to grab when we're spending $30 per person? I had no idea you were harboring ill will towards us all these years. As you went out of your way to tell us that we do this every time and that we are somehow disrespecting you by not asking for what is freely available over the counter. Most particularly the Gilroy location. You are petty. And you've lost a customer. Two decades of patronage gone. Somebody else mentioned that maybe it's because it's run by Latinos now that customer service has gone down and stupidity has gone up. I refuse to believe that. I do believe that this current team is not customer Focus and they're all about the nickel and dime profits. And have entitlement now they are cooking indoors and not in a truck The food itself has gone way down. Very little steak with very little cheese. They make you pay for double to get any flavor or ingredients. My onion rings were burnt! And they charge for a ranch not even one with your $10 onion rings.

Take this review serious when I say the owner personally made me garlic fries and they are a must ! Whatever delicious sandwich you get on the menu do NOT forget about those garlic fries. The owner was very friendly I enjoyed the services here and I recommend anyone coming from any part of the bay to try em !

This review was for pre-COVID-19. Tee and I came here after 12pm on a Sunday 1/19/20 and there were a couple of people here. The menu had a lot of items from cheese steaks to burgers to hot dogs. We ordered the A-Jay's Classic ($9.25), the Mushroom ($9.75), an order of fries ($4), and two sodas ($2.50 each). The food came out after a few minutes since they were cooking them. The A-Jay's Classic tasted good to me as well as the Mushroom cheese steak. The amount would make most people full. The fries were nothing special and one order could be shared by two people or be finished by one hungry person. I would come back to try other items on the menu.

The amount of meat, peppers and cheese in my "pepper cheesesteak sandwich"!

Came on a Friday. Is this site closed for good? Inside looks semi cleaned out. On Yelp it said it was open. Bummer!

We used to enjoy Ajays when they had a shop in Gilroy. Very good food…read more Recently we began going to the Ajays in Morgan Hill and something has obviously changed. Everything is better?! Not only is the mushroom cheesesteak the best I've had and I am from the Philly area originally, but their other I think new food is crazy good. Bulgogi fries, pot stickers, etc. We will be going back more often.

The restaurant is located in a nice area in bustling downtown Morgan Hill. Parking is available on the street and the few parking lots close by. The restaurant is very small with a cozy outdoor patio for dine in. There is just enough space for the kitchen and front counter to order only. I ordered an A-Jay classic cheese steak and garlic fries. Everything was quite tasty. The cheese steak had quality meat and fresh soft bread. The cherry peppers went well with every bite. Garlic fries were crispy and flavorful. Overall I enjoyed my experience at A-Jay's Cheese Steaks. The staff were nice and accommodating. The atmosphere was family friendly and welcoming. My only gripe is since the price point is high I suggest combo options with small sides available for better value. It's been a while since the last time I was here. Not sure when I'll be back but at least I satisfied my recent craving.

First time ordering here. It's located in the same center with El Toritos, Safeway, Giorgio's,…read moreJamba juice, Peets Coffee, Nothing Bundt Cakes and the former Red Lobster. The Cheesesteak Shop is a bit harder to find but it's on the side of Crumbl Cookies and EriksDeliCafe, facing Milpitas Blvd. The center is on the corner of Calaveras and Milpitas Blvd. Restaurant was clean. Friendly staff with a smile. I ordered a Motown, which is with mushrooms. I requested grilled onions and sweet peppers on the side. Also, they offer lots of other reiterations of a cheesesteak sandwich such as: pizza, shredded pork, barbecue, vegetarian, even chicken if you do not prefer beef. So there's something for everyone. Vegetarians can enjoy the vegetarian version along with the sides of onion rings, steak fries, tater tots, sweet potato fries, and they even have salads. The half size sandwich consisted of thin, tender beef, grilled onions, sweet peppers with American cheese. Upon unwrapping the meat amount poked out of the soft bread. The bread was soggy on the inside in the best way. Personally I love sandwiches (includimg burgers) that are moistened with natural au jus (beef juices :) Tater tots were plentiful but a bit over salted. just like fries, try to eat when it's fresh from the fryer. Since it was over salted, I'll ask for no or light salt next timd. I would recommend this place and next time I'll order a large size bc I can save the rest for later, as well as no or lightly salted.

It is just ok in every way. I got a king sized Western steak sandwich and some steak fries with the…read more"guylic" seasoning and both were fine. First; the fry seasoning was pretty decent (maybe a tad too salty) but the fries itself were too soggy. The quality of the meat in the sandwich was average (couldn't really taste the bacon) but it was too oily as well. The hot peppers that I customized with definitely had a kick so there's a plus there. It's not the worst thing in the world, but also not sure I would go here again considering it's not super cheap either.
