Hands Down These Are The Best Wings In New Jersey
We can finally settle the debate over who has the best wings at the Jersey Shore, this may be a little bit of a hot-button issue, but the truth has to be revealed.
So often when I ask people where to get the best wings near the Jersey Shore there are usually a few standard answers; Beacon 70 in Brick, The Miracle Pub off 37 in Toms River, and honestly the Anchor Inn in Ocean Gate makes pretty good wings too.
But none of those places will take the crown of the best wings at the shore, that title again, in my opinion, belongs to a cozy little restaurant in Point Pleasant.
