Giants Legend Victor Cruz Opens NJ’s First Krystal Restaurant in Union
I'll be honest with you, I'd never seen a White Castle in real life until I moved to New Jersey. And I see why people love their burgers; they're individually wrapped sliders, and they're delicious.
Krystal Is Now Open In NJ, Thanks To Giants Legend Victor Cruz

However, White Castle may now have some competition now that a popular southern burger chain, similar to White Castle, has opened its first NJ restaurant, and it's teamed up with former NFL Wide Receiver and Giants legend Victor Cruz.
What Is A Krystlas Restaurant?
If you're not familiar with the chain Krystal, that's because it's primarily based in the Southeast. Krystal is a fast food chain that serves up individually wrapped sliders, but they're also known for their hot dogs and crushed sodas, which are sodas with fun flavors, like strawberry shortcake.
Krystal Has Officially Made The Move, And Is Open In NJ
Krystal is now open in New Jersey, and the chain has teamed up with Victor Cruz for the first NJ location. Cruz, of course, helped the Giants win the Big Game back in 2011 and is now championing this new burger spot in the Garden State.
Where In NJ Is Krystal Located?
New Jersey's very first Krystal restaurant is located in Union, New Jersey, at 2210 Route 22 North, and is officially open for business.
I'm not gonna lie, I'm pretty excited about trying this place. From what I've seen on the menu, it's a fast food chain that'll bring some of the flavors of the South to Jersey. Like, on their website, I saw they have biscuits and gravy, and there's nothing better than real, Southern biscuits and gravy when you're hungry in the morning!
