The Best Pub Food in New Jersey Is Ranked Among Best In America

Best Pub Food in the Garden State

A pub is basically a bar or tavern, but let's face it: When you tell folks you're going to a "pub," it just brings a smile to their face. Pubs are cool, and I think people look at "pubs" as cozy places that offer more than just a beer and a bowl of pretzels—although sometimes a beer and a bowl of pretzels are all you need to relax, right?

Another great thing about a "pub" is the term "pub food". These dishes are comfort food that make a night just that much better when you head into your local pub. Pizza, nachos, sliders, burgers, desserts, etc. all can fall into the category of "pub food".

Another thing I like is when your local pub has its own dishes that are custom-made and have a name associated with their establishment. It makes the food their own and you feel like you can only get that plate or bowl at this particular pub.

According to a story from Taste of Home by David Nilsen, Taylor Murphy, there are many great pubs in America and they listed the best "pub food" around the nation. So what about the pick for us right here in New Jersey?

According to Taste of Home, The Ship Inn Restaurant and Brewery in Milford has the best "pub food" in New Jersey. "The Ship Inn in Milford in the Delaware valley was the first brewery to serve beer in the Garden State since before Prohibition, and offers a warm English pub atmosphere. The historic building offers a gorgeous setting for enjoying clean, well-made beers and an extensive list of whiskeys with an English and German-heavy pub menu. Stay on-theme and order the fish and chips."

Here is a spot that is now on my "eatery" bucket list for right here in the Garden State, and yes, I'll have the fish and chips. :)
