Food is one of the top things that New Jersey is known for. We have a diverse culture in the state that allows us to experience all different types of dishes. And we take food seriously here.
We don’t eat “fake” food. New Jersey has the most authentic cuisines in every county. Once you become hooked on a place, you are always going back.
And how about the popular restaurants that are almost impossible to get reservations for? Some restaurants are so good that you have to book months in advance. It’s not a bad thing at all, but there are so many other places to experience, it’s worth trying new things. Let’s set the famous places aside and think about the ones off the beaten path.
Restaurants that may not be on everyone’s radar but you know have some great eats. Lovefood.com put a list together of the best “out of town” restaurants in every state.
