Stuffies Grill in Wayne (584 Valley Road, 973-315-5600, www.stuffiesgrill.com) is a great spot to relax and have a quick (or maybe not so quick; I did say "relax") bite to eat, whether it be breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Lucille and me visited on a late Saturday evening and were greeted by Sal, who took our order at the counter. He very patiently explained the different combo offerings on a menu that, for the later hours in the day, specializes in domestic offerings like burgers, sandwiches and wraps, but also has a nifty Mexican ledger of offerings like burritos and tacos. I opted for the cheeseburger value meal ($5.99), and Noel, manning the grill, did a superb job in preparing it. It's obviously on the bottom in the photo below, the "star" of the evening above it.
Sal, Noel, thank you. When we return, a large Donkey Kong will definitely be on a plate in front of me.

Anytime (emphasis added) is a good time to visit Long Beach Island. A drive from Barnegat Light to Holgate, and the occasional stop along any side or ends of the island - yes, even in the offseason - provides a nice respite from normal, daily activity. (*Note - To view the Atlantic City skyline from Holgate on a beautiful day, well...it's almost surreal. See the final photo following the blog.) And, to have a super eatery like The Chicken or the Egg (207 North Bay Avenue, Beach Haven, 609-492-FOWL, www.492Fowl.com) open year round, your visit just became even more special.
Lucille ordered a Plain 'Ol Chicken Cheese Steak ($7.99), another super option, as was Stefanie's Chicken Clubwich ($8.29), a delicious fried chicken breast with bacon, onion, lettuce and tomato on roll. Stef opted not to have cheese on her sandwich. Breakfast, lunch and dinner is served at this great spot, which has been an LBI favorite since 1991. And a word here about atmosphere. The Chicken or the Egg is great at bringing that LBI flavor inside, making your visit to perhaps New Jersey's most popular shore area a dandy one. Visit the website, peruse the menu, and then trek to LBI early in the day, and enjoy breakfast before your beach visit, or plan for lunch or dinner afterwards.
Thank you, Chris, and to the rest of the folks at The Chicken or the Egg. We had a great time! Steve |
