I've seen lots of threads on the "best" pizza, mexican, etc. so I thought it would be fun (and helpful) to have a thread dedicated to food.

Please give your faves and the town the restaurant is located in!

1.Bagels - Bageleddi's - Ship Bottom

2.Mexican - ?? still ISO..there's a decent place in Meyersville?

3.Pizza - I've never really had sucky pizza in NJ, so as long as it's not a famous chain, I'm happy. Locally, I like Roman Pizza in LV.

4.Steakhouse - NOT Arthur's, LOL. I had an awesome filet at Silver Spring Farm in Flanders once.

5.Ice Cream - There are a few that I like - Applegate Farms in Montclair (but haven't been in FOREVER), Taylor's in Chester

6.Chinese - Szechuan Royale in LV in Hastings Square - great Chinese food. Haven't been able to duplicate it elsewhere.

7.Seafood - yuk. every place sucks! LOL

8.Deli/Sub Shop - Gaetano's in Willingboro.

9.Bakery - ???

10.Burgers - The best burger I ever had was a restaurant in Bayonne called Burke's. They've been closed for 25 years. Haven't been able to find one nearly in the same ballpark anywhere in the country since.

The Star Tavern in West Orange has by far the best thin crust pizza ever! It should be illegal! LOL

I wish I knew . There was some flavoring in the meat that was out of this world, and the cook really knew how to make them perfectly. I miss them, and I'm not a huge burger fan!
