Goldburgers in Historic Downtown Haddonfield, NJ, is nothing short of a culinary sensation. This gem of a joint might be small in size but boasts flavors that pack a mighty punch. Chefs David Murray and Walter Gouldsbury have crafted a menu that’s not just food, it’s an experience – and one that’s been setting social media ablaze.

I recently had the pleasure of sinking my teeth into their famed PRIME BEEF CHEESESTEAK, and let me tell you, it was a revelation. Picture this: succulent shavings of prime beef, perfectly caramelized onions, and a generous blanket of Cooper Sharp cheese, all cradled within a house-made seeded long roll. Each bite was a symphony of savory goodness, with flavors that danced on the palate and left me yearning for more.

But the delights didn’t end there. Oh no, Goldburgers knows a thing or two about sides, too. Their fresh-cut fries were crispy on the outside, pillowy soft on the inside – a testament to the artistry that goes into every aspect of their fare. And let’s not forget the onion rings, golden orbs of crunchy perfection that practically begged to be devoured.

It’s no wonder this place has become a mecca for influencers and food enthusiasts alike. Every dish is a work of art, begging to be captured on camera before being savored with gusto. But here’s the kicker – the food isn’t just photogenic, it’s downright delicious. Goldburgers isn’t just a restaurant, it’s a culinary journey you won’t soon forget.

As they say, good things come in small packages, and Goldburgers is proof positive of that. With its expanding empire, soon to grace even more locations, it’s clear that this is just the beginning of a delicious adventure. So do yourself a favor and make the pilgrimage to Goldburgers – your taste buds will thank you.

Discover another of the hidden gems of South Jersey! I unveil for you the culinary secrets that only a select few know about. Just months ago, the South Jersey Food Scene revealed the unexpected: Virtua Hospital’s Voorhees Campus Cafeteria boasts some of the finest sushi in the region, captivating not only locals but also the attention of FOX 29, Philadelphia Inquirer, Courier Post, NJ.Com, JL Jupiter, and more.

That was  just the tip of the iceberg. There are many places. Now have you heard about The Secret French Fry Club at East Greenwich Little League? Tucked away in this unassuming baseball haven lies a snack stand that’s causing a sensation. It’s not just for Little League families; it’s drawing in food enthusiasts from far and wide. If you’ve never heard, it’s probably because you probably don’t live around the immediate area or your child is not involved with baseball or softball. The obvious people who already know are the families of softball and Little Leaguers that call these fields their home. Then once those seasons are over picture Sandlot-style baseball games under the summer sun, accompanied by the aroma of freshly cut fries while giving all children no matter their ability level in the surrounding towns the opportunity to play ball without the input or direction from adults just letting the kids play. 

What has really put this location on the map is that this complex hosts Perfect Game Tournaments which is a big deal in the baseball community and has teams traveling hours to be able to play in them. This is truly where this little gem of french fry fandom has expanded and has people involved in baseball from all over the East Coast talking about a Little League snack stand. Everyone who visits raves about the little league snack stand that could with fresh cut fries topped with all sorts of deliciousness. It’s not just the spectators enjoying them either. You will overhear umpires chatting up fans who are chomping on their fries and hear the umps tell the crowd they look forward to doing these games because they know they’ll be eating some of those amazing fries afterwards. 

What’s the secret behind their success? It’s simple: potatoes piled high, sliced on demand, deep-fried to perfection, and served piping hot. And the prices? They’ll make restaurant owners blush. But that’s not all. Indulge in hand-spun milkshakes, made with a generous sprinkle of childhood nostalgia. From cookies and cream to classic strawberry, they’ve got your cravings covered. In addition they have many other items that most other snack stands don’t offer, along with all the usual suspects pleasing all palates. The hotdogs are prepared on the rollers, but they even went above and beyond when I asked if they were grilled and popped the hot dog on the grill to give it a quick crisp. My order was grilled hot dog, strawberry milkshake, and the pièce de résistance of their old bay cheese fries. 

But what truly sets them apart? It’s the stories whispered in line, tales of travelers who journey far and wide just for a taste of those legendary fries and aren’t there to watch baseball or softball. Don’t miss out! Keep an eye on social media for game days and become a member of The Secret French Fry Club at East Greenwich Little League. Experience some of the best fries in South Jersey and become part of a deliciously exclusive community.

No.79 Restaurant Bar & Liquor Store – Hammonton, NJ

Small Bites Radio has been named Top Hospitality Shows on the Planet from 2020 – 2024, #Bluejeanfood.com named Top Philadelphia Best Philadelphia Lifestyle Blogs and Websites from 2021-2024, Best Philly Food Blogs and Websites 2023-24, Top 25 Philly Food RSS Feeds in 2024, nominated by Metro Philly Newspaper 2022-23 Best of Philadelphia Arts & Entertainment, and winner of Metro Philly Newspaper 2023 Best of Philadelphia Arts & Entertainment.

Nestled in Hammonton, New Jersey, No.79 Restaurant Bar & Liquor Store isn’t just a dining destination; it’s an experience steeped in community charm and culinary innovation. As you embark on your journey to the Southern Points of the Jersey Shore, allow me to regale you with the tale of why it’s a must-stop on your coastal adventure.

Firstly, let’s talk about the journey itself. Sure, you could zip along the Atlantic City Expressway, but where’s the adventure in that? The real magic lies in taking the scenic route, winding through the old roads that meander past farmers markets, quaint stores, and hidden culinary delights. It’s a journey that tantalizes the senses and reveals the true essence of the region.

Now, onto the star of the show: No.79. This establishment isn’t just about dining; it’s about celebrating the fusion of cultures and flavors. No.79 brings Polish Italian Fusion to the table with flair. Imagine the perfect marriage of kielbasa and pierogies with classic Italian sauces, creating a symphony of flavors that dance on your palate.

But it’s not just about the food; it’s about the entire experience. Every dish at No.79 is crafted with love and precision, using only homemade sauces that elevate each bite to culinary nirvana. As you step into No.79, you’re greeted by an ambiance that’s as inviting as it is intriguing. The building, steeped in over 70 years of history, has been lovingly restored to preserve its essence while embracing modern touches. Cedar wood paneling, Jack bottle drop lighting, and chandeliers crafted from historic wine barrels create a warm and inviting atmosphere that beckons you to stay a while.

And let’s not forget the little touches that make No.79 truly special. The walls adorned with newspapers from the 1920s to the 1940s add a nostalgic charm, inviting guests to lose themselves in a bygone era. And then there’s the significance of the number 79 itself, an angelic reminder to “Pay it Forward” that resonates deeply with the community-centric ethos of the establishment.

Let’s start with the Korean BBQ chicken wings, shall we? From the moment these crispy delights graced my palate, I knew I was in for something special. Glazed to perfection with a tangy-sweet Korean BBQ sauce, each bite was a harmonious blend of savory umami and subtle spice. The succulent meat practically melted off the bone, leaving me craving more with every indulgent nibble. These wings weren’t just amazing; they were a culinary masterpiece.

Next up, Poppi’s Honey Hot Chicken Bites. If ever there was a dish that epitomized comfort food elevated to gourmet heights, this would be it. Picture tender chunks of chicken, perfectly fried to golden perfection and bathed in a luscious blend of honey and heat. With each bite, I was greeted with a symphony of flavors—sweet honey dancing with fiery chili, all balanced harmoniously against the backdrop of juicy, succulent chicken. These chicken bites weren’t just “very good”; they were downright addictive.

Last but certainly not least was the pièce de résistance: the Ultimate Bourbon Bacon Jam Burger. As a connoisseur of burgers, I’ve sampled my fair share, but none quite like this. The 8oz Angus beef patty was a thing of beauty, cooked to juicy perfection and bursting with flavor. But what truly set this burger apart was the decadent toppings. The beer cheese was a creamy delight, oozing with richness that complemented the savory bacon jam perfectly. And let’s not forget the BBQ sauce, adding a tangy sweetness that tied the whole burger together in a symphony of flavors. Paired with perfectly crispy fries, this burger was a masterpiece in every sense of the word.

In conclusion, dining at No.79 Restaurant Bar & Liquor Store isn’t just a meal; it’s an experience that nourishes the body, delights the senses, and uplifts the soul. So, as you embark on your journey to the Southern Points of the Jersey Shore, be sure to take the road less traveled and make a stop at No.79. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you.
