It’s been a slow rebound for restaurants coming out of the pandemic, but it seems like new ones are popping up every day to satisfy patrons’ desire to eat out.

One New Jersey-based chain, Tommy’s Tavern + Tap, is planning on expanding its footprint in New Jersey.

Selcov told NJ.com,

We pride ourselves on having three separate kitchens,” Selcov explained. “We have coal-fired ovens where we’re shooting out quality, artisan pizzas out of our 800-degree oven as well as coal-fired wings, which are our staple. We also have a full tavern menu featuring burgers, salads, sandwiches, entrees and sharable appetizers. And we also have a full sushi kitchen that features fresh fish, multiple different rolls, poke bowls and sushi appetizers.

LOOK: Best Beers From Every State

To find the best beer in each state and Washington D.C., Stacker analyzed January 2020 data from BeerAdvocate, a website that gathers user scores for beer in real-time. BeerAdvocate makes its determinations by compiling consumer ratings for all 50 states and Washington D.C. and applying a weighted rank to each. The weighted rank pulls the beer toward the list's average based on the number of ratings it has and aims to allow lesser-known beers to increase in rank. Only beers with at least 10 rankings to be considered; we took it a step further to only include beers with at least 100 user rankings in our gallery.
