New Jersey’s northern counties are full of small towns and stunning scenery. Luckily for those of us who live up in the Skylands and Hudson Highlands, there are also a ton of great homestyle restaurants around! What the rural towns of northern New Jersey lack in chains, they make up for in mom-and-pop old-fashioned dining rooms. One of these, in Vernon, is called the Lamp Post Inn.

You'll find the Lamp Post Inn a short drive from Mountain Creek, which makes it a popular spot for people who are hiking, biking, skiing, or enjoying the resort waterpark.

You'll walk in to the bar first - if you just want a drink and some bar bites, come on in and make yourself at home.

For a more formal meal, head to the dining room. There's hardly ever a crowd here on a weekday, but during the weekends, you may have to wait for a table. The people of Vernon know where to find good food.
