Conucopia in Keyport. I haven't gotten up there in a while. How has the food been lately? I miss going up there. I also like stopping at the Anchor Inn I guess its technically in Union Beach when I'm up there.

Indian Cuisine
Any restaurant that serves Indian cuisine is among my favorites. There are several in Morris County and they all have a lunch buffet that is a delightful experience.
petridis hotdogs in bayonne (with a yoo-hoo please)
howard's in beach haven terrace
gaetano's in willingboro for cheesesteak and subs (oops, hoegies if you're from that area)
silver spring farm in flanders (awesome filet - rivals the ruth chris' of the country)
bageleddies in ship bottom for the.worlds.best.bagels. (with rein's deli in vernon ct a very close 2nd)
Seranade in Chatham - $500 for 4 of us - but great for a special occasion.
and...for a gastronomical-once-in-a-lifetime-event - The Ryland Inn in Whitehouse Station. Probably my all-time best meal, but at nearly $250/head , it's not your everyday "lets go out to eat!" place.
I used to run NJ a lot when I was a long haul trucker. NEVER had a bad meal at a local place! One of my favorites was the Skyway Diner (under the Pulkaski Skyway in South Kearny). Never walked outta there hungry! This was about 5 years ago, so I hope it's still there. (I run in OH, IN and KY now and sure miss NJ!!!)
I believe this diner was featured in the HBO movie "Hysterical Blindness" (great diner, horrible movie )
- Gena Rowlands was a waitress there......
[quote=mike0421;556018] Gaettanos in various southern NJ locations for cheesesteaks. Long Valley Brew pub is yet another good one.

i agree with and mentioned gaetano's too - i believe they are consistantly voted best cheesesteaks - over any philly place. LV Brew Pub is ok, my last meal there was so-so, which disappoints me, since I live here. However, I hear the beer is really very good (I don't like beer).

Indian Cuisine
Conti's in Princeton is another great pizza place!
