New Jerseyans love our fries! We've all made a late night diner run for disco fries with cheese and gravy, and most of us have a favorite french fry spot. The following are some of the most popular in the state for their unique flavors and delicious taste.
1. Windmill Hot Dogs, Multiple Locations
With locations in South and Central Jersey including Freehold, Brick, Long Branch, and Red Bank, the deliciously cheesy fries here are award-winning.
2. Taters, Ocean City
These delicious boardwalk fries are a fan favorite. Their scrumptious secret? They're cooked in peanut oil!
3. White Rose Burgers, Highland Park/New Brunswick
This burger joint also has great fries. NJ 101.5 listeners ranked them as being some of the best in the state. This is the place to go if you like your fries crispy!
4. Chickie's & Petes, Multiple Locations
With several locations in Southwest Jersey (including Egg Harbor, Atlantic City, and Bordentown) and the Philly Area, they also offer a food truck. ESPN ranked them as a top sports bar and their famous "Crab Fries" are out of this world!
5. Jefferson Diner, Lake Hopatcong
Indulging in a delicious plate of French fries at a diner is almost a rite of passage in New Jersey. It doesn't hurt that Jefferson Diner in Lake Hopatcong has some of the tastiest plates of French fries in town! Especially when doused in rich gravy and melted cheese.
6. Johnny Fries, Ortley Beach
This seasonal restaurant serves up your American faves like burgers and mozz sticks, but they're all about the fries. Choose from flavors including buffalo blue-cheese and jalapeno bacon! Closed during the colder months, they'll open again in May. These fries are worth the wait!
7. Mooyah, Garwood/Old Tappan/Skillman
Enjoy delicious burgers, scrumptious shakes, and fantastic fries. Choose from classic or sweet potato.
8. Jilly's, Ocean City
Jilly's has a lot going on in Ocean City, from an arcade to an ice cream shop. Their french fry factory is the hottest stop on the boardwalk for salted, fried goodness.
9. 25 Burgers, Multiple Locations
Besides gourmet burgers, this New Jersey franchise offers mouthwatering chili cheese fries. Visit locations in Matawan, Linden, Fairfield, and Flemington, among others.
10. Curly's Fries, Ocean City
Curly's fries offers traditional fries and, of course, curly fries. The curly fries are my personal favorite, perfectly seasoned.
As you can see, Ocean City is the place to be if you're looking for some yummy fries! Of course, there are plenty of neighborhood diners and local joints offering fantastic french fries. Sadly, I haven't enjoyed them all yet - share your favorites in the comments!
