I love to explore the Jersey Shore, especially places to grab good eats. Unfortunately, my wallet and my waistline would suffer greatly if I ate out every night. I aim for weekends to try new places or head to the places that have have stolen my heart and my stomach.
If I’m not working too late, I will hit new places on my way home for take-out.
During the Summer, visitors are captivated by our beautiful Jersey Shore towns and all they have to offer.
There are a few food questions I’m often asked by summer renters and weekend visitors, “Where do you go to eat?” “Where’s the best pizza in town?”, and “Where do you go that’s not crowded?”
That last question is one I almost never answer because I don’t want to give up my hidden gems. I usually only give up my hidden gems to the locals. If you’re visiting the Shore and you’re not a jerk, I will share a few hidden gems with you. The reason I share my hidden gems mainly with the locals is, they’ll frequent these places all year round and keep them in business.
I’ve been to nearly half the places on this list, the remaining eateries were gathered by word of mouth. I get tons of recommendations from friends, listeners, co-workers, and acquaintances.
The place I am most dying to try is in Bradley Beach. It’s a place whose original location is in Metuchen, and from what I’ve heard from my foodie friends, this place is dynamite. I’ll go into more detail further down on this page.
If there’s a place you think I should know about, please email me at: [email protected]
I am always ready to hear your recommendations and what you have to say about restaurants, delis, markets, diners…etc
