10 best places to watch the Super Bowl in NJ
Looking for a great Jersey spot for the Big Game festivities on Sunday? We have you covered.
Since no local teams made it this year (again!), there's a good deal of football fans just looking to relax, load up on some great food, have a drink and maybe play some games while taking in the festivities in Houston, Texas. I've put together a top 10 list (in no particular order).
Some picks have more than one location, so consider them "two-point conversions." Or something else football-ish.
1. Jack's Goal Line Stand
Jack's has it all: 50 TVs and more than 60 beers on tap. Plus there's a game day menu of mouth-watering specials like the BarnYard Sandwich (three kinds of meat!), the 'Pool of Cheese' and a menu of sliders
2. Kaminski’s Sports Bar and Restaurant
Kaminski's has been a staple for Burlington and Camden County sports fans for decades! There's hand carved roast beef, a Sunday tailgate menu and over twenty TVs.
3. Fireside Grill and Bar
This Monmouth County bar and restaurant offers ribs and pulled pork smoked on-site, served with a house-made BBQ sauce. There's 45 flat screen TVs, over 40 beers on-tap plus daily food and drink specials.
4. The Orange Lantern
Talk about Jersey traditions- this Bergen County business has been rooted here since the 1930's! There's a long list of beers on tap, and menu classics like The Cuban Burger and a wing platter.

It's billed as the largest Game Day party in Morristown. Food and drink specials including signature wings, beef chili, burgers, Hopper Sliders and Reuben Sliders. There's plenty of HDTVs, to catch all the action.
9. Chickie’s & Pete’s
The combo of beer selection and Crabfries just can't be beat — hence the past pick as top East Coast Sports Bar by ESPN. Chickie’s and Pete’s in Bordentown and Egg Harbor Township are both longtime favorites.
10. MJ's Restaurant
There are five of these Pizza, Bar & Grill locations around Monmouth and Middlesex counties. No matter your palate, they've got you covered — from filet mignon sandwiches and sushi, to wings, pizzas and other tailgate-style specials. Plus drink specials at all spots.
