The Pennsauken Mart may be long lost, almost forgotten, and to younger generation completely unknown. What has never left though thank goodness is The Original Mart Soft Pretzel Bakery and soft pretzel fans have reason to rejoice. These are great!

Below is from The Original Mart Soft Pretzel Bakery:

In 1965, a retired Philadelphia fireman undertook a venture that would establish a family legacy of the best pretzels in the tri-state area. Understanding the value of his wife Cass’s closely-guarded recipe, he founded Cass’ Soft Pretzel Bakery. The bakery was an instant success, drawing crowds of hungry locals with its distinct blend of airy, dutch-style pretzels and hometown charm

Mr. Fraser would soon pass his bakery onto his sons, and during this time Cass’ popularity became something akin to legend. Businessmen, hipsters, suburbanites and city-dwellers flocked to the Pennsauken Mart for the Frasers’ unique combination of hometown service and hearty (but fat-free!) indulgence.

After years of service to the community, Cass’ Soft Pretzel Bakery was forced to shut its doors due to the demolition of the site on which the original store was founded. Fearing the worst, customers sent emails and messages by the thousands, demanding the outfit reopen its doors. And, little more than a year after the Mart closed, Cass’ Soft Pretzels were reborn!

Now known as Mart Pretzels (an homage to the community-driven marketplace that we all knew and loved), we continue our tradition of service to the community in Cinnaminson and beyond. We’ve made some changes we think you’ll enjoy, like our expanded menu, party-tray options, and uniquely satisfying pretzel-sandwich offerings – but we also understand the importance of maintaining that taste you know and love. This is why we still use the same oven to bake our world-famous pretzels and continue the family tradition through Sandra and Shaughnessy Fraser, daughter and son of proprietors Don and Julia. Even Half-Price Marty crowns the wall above the counter, reminding customers that although the name and location might have changed, our commitment to quality remains the same.

I will go on the record and say that this place serves the closest old-school Philadelphia style version of a soft pretzel outside of Philadelphia. These are the pretzels of my youth sold by vendors on the corner of the street with the pretzels sitting in the paper bag and most times you’d see the vendor picking their nose, sneezing, hacking, or coughing but we still bought them and thought they were delicious. These type of pretzel bakeries are becoming fewer and fewer as convenience stores and chains make it hard for them to survive. Take my word and get your next order of pretzels from A & A. In great news, they are opening a brick and mortar retail location in Oaklyn, New Jersey so you will soon be able to buy them there also.

In the mood for sushi and on the go? Then Sushi Express is right up your alley. Order online for quick pick up and be on your way. Prices are decent and food quality was good. If in the area or using Delsea Drive to get to the shore via Route 55 this is a good choice. I had the chicken hibachi, clear soup, seaweed salad, pork gyoza, kani, unagi, red snapper, octopus, and Philly roll.

It’s not an easy task to find not completely Americanized Asian food in South Jersey. Thankfully though they do exist and Sang Kee in Cherry Hill is just as great as their Chinatown Philadelphia counterpart. I had the Steamed Shanghai Soup Dumplings that was just amazing and the roasted duck with Chinese green vegetable rice platter. If in the area this is a good spot.

You may think by looking at Bamboo on the outside that they were just your average Chinese take-out restaurant. Well that couldn’t be further from the truth for a while there. They not only offered Chinese, they had a very diverse and extensive Japanese list as well for take-out as well. Service was quick, efficient, and prices affordable compared to a sit down restaurant. I had Kani, Unagi, Philly Roll, and Hamachi. Currently they have suspended the sushi offerings and have gone back to just traditional Chinese take-out menu.

I wish at times I videotaped my eating adventures. This would have been one of them. The gentlemen who took my order on the phone was the same young gentleman who was behind the register. He was so funny making jokes at every turn. He really needs to have a show as he was entertaining as could be. Just the personable feel here is worth a visit, but the food is good here as well so that is a bonus. I had the Thai Dumpling, Beef Drunken Noodles, and Honey Duck. While in the area be sure to visit The SteelStacks.

This laid back country drinking hole hits the spot with bbq themed tavern fair. I had the Hickory Smoked Prime Rib Cheesesteak Melt topped with caramelized onion, mushroom, melted cheddar jack cheese, and creamy horseradish sauce and served hot on a toasted brioche bun with house fried chips and an order of pulled pork as well with applesauce.

This place is as old-school Americana as it gets. Close to Lost River Caverns it makes for a nice pit-stop along the way and the food was awesome. Great greasy burger and Jersey dog were just fantastic. Highly recommended and the fries were good too, but sadly didn’t get in the picture.

What a joy and great meal here. This is a perfect example of don’t judge a book by its cover as I know the pictures look terrible. Don’t trust the pictures. The food was great. The Lobster Bisque was amazing, 1/2 LB. Old Bay Poached Peel & Eat Shrimp were so good, Steamed Clams with celery, shallot, butter, and then Pan Seared Scallops with cauliflower puree, candied bacon lardons, caramelized walnuts, pomegranate seeds, warm maple bacon thyme vinaigrette.

Hidden off the main drag of Route 130 North sits Chez Rodine. Just because you can’t see them, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t go there. I had the large jerk chicken and it was delicious. They couldn’t have been more pleasant and food was great. Be sure to check them out.
