The Middle-Of-Nowhere General Store With Some Of The Best Hoagies In New Jersey

Tabernacle, New Jersey is a small Pine Barrens town that's off the beaten path from just about anywhere. It's one of those towns that most people only see from their car windows as they drive through on a road trip. But this laid-back town of under 7,000 people is hiding a delicious secret. Tucked away in this small town, you'll find one of the state's best deli counters hiding in what looks like a simple roadside convenience store. Hop in the car and make the trip to Nixon's General Store -- you won't regret it!

For well over 100 years, Nixon's General Store has been serving the community of Tabernacle, New Jersey.

From the beginning, this town store has been a gathering place just as much as it's been the place to go to pick up essentials in a fairly isolated Pinelands town!

Today, Nixon's looks like any ordinary small-town general store, but locals and those who travel through Burlington County know that it's hiding one of the best delis in the Garden State.

When you walk in, you'll notice that there is more than snacks and junk food on display.

Nixon's is well known for making jams, spreads, sauces, and pickles -- with locally sourced produce!

This is also the kind of vintage general store that serves up old-fashioned candy. Grab some orange slices and take yourself on a trip back in time.

Fresh baked goods are a staple of their selection, and it's hard to walk out without a handful of cookies no matter when you stop in.

The biggest reason that Nixon's is crowded all day long, though, is their remarkably tasty deli. From breakfast sandwiches...

... to hoagies piled high with gourmet deli meats, you'll find all sorts of tasty goods here. These hoagies are the best in town!

Nixon's even added Fat Sandwiches (a New Brunswick delicacy) to their menu, so you can enjoy the outrageous creations without having to leave South Jersey.

Come spend time in the Pinelands and enjoy a tasty stop at Nixon's General Store! It's usually out of the way, but it's always worth the detour. You can visit the Facebook page of this New Jersey general store to see more pictures of this unique destination.
