Although not that close to Jackson, I can recommend:


Mariners Cove, Brielle Mariner's Cove Restaurant - Brielle, NJ

pretty much the same menu as this place (used to be under the same owner), but I found the quality to be better at Mariners Cove http://youramys.com/Home.html (broken link)


Hot Bagel Bakery, Oakhurst The Hot Bagel Bakery - Oakhurst, NJ
Circus Drive In index
Jersey Mikes Subs Jersey Mike's Subs - Authentic Sub Sandwiches Since 1956 or pretty much any deli
Windmill Hot Dogs The WindMill: Gourmet Fast Food
Lighthouse Italian Ice Lighthouse Italian Ice

Fish Tacos from Fins Southern California cuisine | Latino, Tropical Island, Asian flavors or Surf Taco SurfTaco

best pizza places
New Jersey's best pizza: we crown the champs | - NJ.com

I would also recommend looking through this site, they have not steered me wrong yet New Jersey - Chowhound

Talercio's in Middletown - Italian Deli

I know, it's not all that close to Jackson, but if you're in the area, you won't regret it.

At the beginning of course! Start in Cape May and work your way north, hopefully you'll finnish before the end of the earth.

I'd say start at the Vincentown Diner, I've heard goo things. Then pick a main road, go straight and eventually you'll hit a diner (and probably a few Wawa's, they have the BEST Ice Tea and Coffee IMO)

One of your posters came over to the Kansas forum and gave us a lot of good info and pics on Jersey so it piqued my curiosity!

My fiance and I are probably going to visit within the next year as he has family in Jackson, New Jersey. I was born and raised in the midwest (Kansas City) and moved to Orlando but never been up the east coast, so I appreciate any advice on restaurants and stuff to check out when we're in town.

As you can tell, we're major foodies and love history, art (even though I don't know a lot about it), bookstores, walking and biking trails, etc.

Thank you!

Katey

I strongly recommend you checking out the foodie site Chowhound. They have a very large and busy board just for Jersey. You'll find very extensive reviews on local restaurants, many also post asking for suggestions. It is a great resource!

New Jersey - Chowhound

All the posters are knowledgeable foodies eager to share their experiences. I have never been steered wrong going by the posters at that site.

Koala!

Katey,

I noticed your location is in Casselberry. I used to live in Oxford Square apartments when I attended UCF! How is it down there lately?

Also, regarding NJ food, in Trenton we have some of the old Chambersburg restaurants, but that area is becoming pretty rough now. There are some of the old Italian restaurants that have moved out to Hamilton. Check them out if you get a chance!
