Expect a 60-95 min wait on the weekends but also expect platters of delicious food! All egg dishes are made with 3-6 eggs, sliced whole potatoes fried perfectly, freshest ingredients! Stacks of pancakes as big as birthday cakes with mounds of fillers and whipped cream. Service is great, by far the best breakfast in the area.

We recently stopped in this beautiful old town and decided to have lunch there. "Teddys" caught our eye, it is a quaint old-fashioned luncheonette; offering a great variety of food choices, daily luncheon specials and excellent service. They do not mind customizing your order and the food is excellent. The homemade daily soups (bean soup and chicken soup) and their coleslaw were exceptional. I ordered a crab cake caesar salad, the crab cakes were light and tasty. My daughter-in-law had a delicious customized hamburger and loved the onion rings she ordered, french fries and coleslaw. My granddaughter enjoyed her gyro. We will definitively stop there again when our travels take us through Cranbury.
8. Jamesburg Deli

I recently learned this brand was listed by some as the best chicken franchise in the nation, so I went looking for it and found it at this small corner deli. What a great surprise! Awesome chicken and nice service. I can't wait to try some of their other offerings. This is not a restaurant, but a take out deli so pick up some of this great chicken and take it home or to the park across the street for a family picnic. If getting a large order it would be good to call ahead because it takes 15-20 minutes to cook, but well worth the wait. It is spicy, but not too hot and definitely golden brown and crispy.
7. Docks Corner Tavern

OK, don't come to impress ur new chick. Come here if u want to feel old school drinker and partier in rural Merka. This rundown, needs paint and wood staining everywhere, dive bar is not a bar, it is a roadhouse. passed by by the expansion to the nearby NJ Pike, the one from the movies, real NJ Pike, 95 mph and blasting Bruce tunes, then U exit at Exit 8A, select the right turn off the ramp, turn right again onto Cranbury/South River road, go 1 mile and u will see Docks Corner road, Dang dawg, the roadhouse is named after the street, that is real old school. Go 1.4 miles and u can't miss Docks Corner Tavern. There aint no corner, the roadhouse is on a straight stretch of road. lol: lol:, turn in and lose ur mind. drab, scrapped circumstances hide the history of Docks, it was a destination years ago, prize boxing matches behind the bar in an open air ring. I can't praise this place enough. It is a Burgerheaven. specifically, the Houston burger. The Chix wings are lame, but I tell you , I tell you , that if u ask Christine the 50's aged yet still hot, barmaid, she will make sure your French Fries are as u desired. I like my French fries a cripsy level that 80% of bars can please me when my fries are delivered. Docks Corner Tavern Crispy Grease Laden Fries are a time journey back to when you were in High School and you eat a hot dish of Fries with ur chick at Dairy Queen. Only at Docks, you can shoot pool while Christine cooks ur fries. The times that I go there are late. It is open til 1:45 w package goods. I have seen the few people that patronize it from all social groups, Mexican labors, punks w tatto's, polluted civil servants, Sports watchers on the 6 TV's, Tables are set with silver and items suggesting people actual not at the bar, will eat there. AND they do, I love Docks, go there with a designated driver and have a great time wondering what plant and time zone from the Outer Limits show u have landed in. OMG, i spent 60 bucks there one morn 1:35am, on 2 cheeseburgers w the works, two orders of buffalo wings, and a six of Heineken, I walked the 2 miles home balancing the meal on my handle bars and side packs on mt Bike. Best thing about Docks for me is that if I have 3 or 4 beers, I live close and can walk my mt Bike and my package goods home thus avoiding a drunk cycling thing ( in NJ, bike laws mirror car laws ) But I say, I say, have the French Fries well crisped, but not totally crispped and your mind will wander as you slowly pour Heinz ketchup over your well salted French Fries. Agin the crowd is a non operative word. There are never more then 8 people their in a bar that has 85 seats in diff configs around the bar areas. Wonderful place and non judgemental employees, all seem welcome, what ever country, religion, or level of social work status, Docks is just a happening place, only dont tell ur friends.

The fried calamari and sweet potato soup were delicious. Both were freshly prepared but some of the calamari was over cooked making it chewy.Everyone raved about the short ribs and the Bucatini Carnoso. The pan seared Ahi Tuna was cooked perfectly but the garlic was slightly burnt making the dish bitter. The only real complaint was the moisture dripping from the overhead supply vent on to our guests and table.

This place is always busy for good reason... there's no place that delivers an experience like they do in the general area... an excellent bar, friendly service, some excellent chow, tons of TVs for sporting events... in the football season they have every game! Was great that we could watch the Duke game in the NCAA tourney while enjoying some chow. They also have an aggressive happy hour that seems to draw a crowd. I love the burgers here... excellent ground beef and grilled perfectly. The chili we tried was great, quesadilla just ok, wings pretty good, chicken fingers very good. Hanna, our waitress, was excellent... fast, friendly and efficient.Wow WINEandTRAVEL, thanks for the great review! We appreciate your feedback, and hope to see you again soon!

Had dinner here, food and service were both excellent. Fine dining in Jamesburg! I recommend the Buffalo Cauliflower appetizer and Short Ribs entree. both were prepared and presented beautifully. My husband had the halibut special and said it was perfect. All food was fresh and well prepared. Highly recommend.

Everything about Fiddleheads' is fantastic. The food, the service, the atmosphere: just fantastic. (Their take-out burgers on Wednesday are really good!) They know how to do fish! Lunches are excellent too. I highly recommend this restaurant.
