These are the best things I've eaten in New Jersey. Items that stand out as the reason for going there. In some cases, it may be the only good thing there but it'll be worth going for that one item.
Snooty Waiter: This has made my list of Best items I've eaten in NJ. I prefer the red sauce with it but its amazing on its own. These guys hit the perfect temperature every time.
595 River Rd (at Mitsuwa Marketplace), Edgewater, NJ
Ramen Restaurant · 58 tips and reviews
Snooty Waiter: Part of my "Best items I've eaten in NJ" list, is Santouka,s Super Melty Pork with Salt Ramen. Only made better by the Mitsuwa market it's located in, it's like traveling to another country for 40min.
Snooty Waiter: Added to my "Best items I've eaten in NJ" is El Artenso's Ox Tail Stew. Rich in flavor, this Cuban comfort food is best eaten in fall to winter with rice and beans.Buen Provecho!
212 Washington St (at Sussex St.), Jersey City, NJ
Modern European Restaurant · Paulus Hook · 65 tips and reviews
Snooty Waiter: Satis's Croque Madame is part of my "Best items I've eaten in NJ" list. With a perfect grilled char on the bread, a beautiful sunny side egg on top and served by an actual French server. Legit.
American Restaurant · The Waterfront · 75 tips and reviews
Snooty Waiter: Amelia's Flatbread Pizza with Chorizo, Wild Mushroom, Smoked Gouda and a Fried Egg easily makes "Best items I've eaten in NJ". Make sure to ask for a second fried egg, cause I think it should have two
Snooty Waiter: "Best items I've eaten in NJ" is Madison's French Onion Soup Dumplings. Rich FO soup flavor actually explodes from each dumpling and is cleverly presented in an escargot dish to look like FO soup
American Restaurant · Hamilton Park · 130 tips and reviews
Snooty Waiter: Hamilton's Potato Pierogis are perfectly pan fried and served with caramelized onion and a truffle sour cream. The complexity of sweet n savory, hot n cold, soft n crisp textures all dance perfectly.
Snooty Waiter: The Mozzarella en Carozza is one of the "Best items I've eaten in NJ". It's an incredibly simple item but no one has served one better to me than Casa Di Napoli. Bravo!
Snooty Waiter: Everyone I've ever talked about Paisano's with, knows about the Stuffed Pork Chop.Oven roasted, stuffed with gorgonzola, prosciutto, walnuts, and figs, in a light maple glaze. Best stuffed Pork Chop!
Snooty Waiter: I was fortunate enough to try their pineapple upside down cheesecake. Minus the pineapple, it was the best cheesecake I've ever eaten but know that I'm not a cheesecake fan.
