The Cabin might look like an old-school lodge, but it's a modern restaurant with some of the best country-style food in New Jersey.
Inside, the high wood ceilings make you feel like you're sitting in an old cowboy saloon - and the country music certainly helps!
You'll even find traditional hunting lodge decorations on the wall, but we're pretty sure that champion buck didn't wind up on the menu.
The full bar has a wide selection of beers on tap, right under a gamut of wide-screen TVs playing news or the big game.
As for the food, it's classic southern and western delights - including a barbecue chicken plate that's one of the state's most filling dinners.
The smoky, barbecue-slicked ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender. A ten-napkin job, but worth every bite!
On Tuesdays, it's taco night - and these flavorful hand-held pockets are not to be missed.
Make sure you don't leave without a slice of pie a la mode. It's a sweet and traditional finish in this rustic cabin restaurant.
