Jersey Comfort Food – Mapping The Best of the Best!

UPDATED: Januar 1, 2026

Welcome to Lots of Jersey Comfort Food Maps, a delicious celebration of the places that define New Jersey one plate at a time. From classic roadside diners and neon lit institutions to neighborhood spots that locals swear by, these maps highlight the food that has fueled generations of Jersey stories, late nights, road trips, and everyday memories.

Curated by Mr. Local History, this project blends food, place, and nostalgia into an easy to explore visual experience. It is not just about what is on the menu, but where these places sit in our towns, our travels, and our shared history. Whether you are chasing the perfect breakfast, a legendary burger, or pure comfort food, these maps prove once again that nobody does it quite like New Jersey.

Lots of Jersey Comfort Food Maps

Here are a few maps that you have to save on your phone. While the Mr. Local History Project is about Jersey history, it’s also about historical food icons in the state and we’ve got a lot of them, so we manage a few interactive maps.

Here’s to a lifetime of living in Jersey. Here’s the map. It’s simple. It may not be the healthiest, but Fagettaboutit, it’s Jersey’s best comfort food. Great flavor with an attitude. I love it. You will too!
Post any pics if you have them. We’re big into #foodporn 🙂

The Jersey Comfort Food map started when I wanted an Italian hot dog. Where would I have to travel? Or if I’m traveling the state, how do I know where the BEST place in the area to get NJ’s best comfort food? To Google Maps! We started with hot dogs, then the burgers, the regular hot dogs, and then pizza. Next, we’ll get into fat sandwiches, crumb cake, diners, cheesesteaks, and maybe something else. Taylor Ham/Egg Cheese? Who knows. We ALWAYS welcome suggestions AND pictures, please!
