South Jersey’s chicken cheesesteak game has gotten a bold, global upgrade—and two local spots are leading the charge with flavors that go way beyond the ordinary.
Smoked Jerk Chicken Cheesesteak at Big Swerve’s BBQ
At Big Swerve’s BBQ in Westville, the Jerk Chicken Cheesesteak brings a taste of Jamaica straight to your mouth. This isn’t your typical sandwich—smoked and grilled chicken is layered with the Swerve’s signature Jerk seasoning, then topped with melted cheese, peppers, and onions. The jerk spices deliver a serious kick, while the smoking process adds a rich, savory depth that sets it apart. One bite, and it might be your new favorite cheesesteak.
