24 NJ restaurants you have to try down the Shore and what to order
Along with the beach and boardwalk, and the bars and the babes in their summer clothes, the one thing I most look forward to when I go down the shore is the food — which just tastes better when you're on vacation.
A great restaurant can make a great vacation even greater, and fortunately we've got them at the Jersey Shore.
I'm talking about those places that have either become tradition when you go to your summer place, or the ones your friends tell you about that you simply have to try.
These great eateries have been recommended by my listeners and social media following. Try them! You'll like them if you haven't already:
