Barnegat is one of New Jersey’s most underrated towns, but those who visit are likely only to explore its charming beachside area. However, there is a whole other side to the town – bordering the Pine Barrens, a massive ecosystem best known as being the home to the legendary Jersey Devil. Lucille’s Country Cooking, a southern-style luncheonette, is far away from the town’s bustling beach. Despite its out-of-the-way location, this remote restaurant in New Jersey is packed with locals every day. They know a good meal often comes in the most unexpected places, and Lucille’s is waiting for new visitors to discover its delicious food.
