NJ Chain Lands On Best Gas Station Food In U.S. List

NEW JERSEY — Where should you stop for a quick roadside bite in New Jersey?

According to USA Today, it’s a no-brainer: Garden State gas station chain QuickChek serves up some of the best gas station food in America, earning the No. 7 spot on the list of the website’s 10Best gas station chains for food in 2024.

“With a food counter serving soups, salads, sandwiches, wraps, and seasonal dishes, as well as a bakery that sells a variety of baked goods, such as their signature cookies, QuickChek aims to redefine ‘fresh convenience,’” the website wrote. “They also have bottled and fountain beverages, and energy drink enthusiasts enjoy their Red Bull Infusions.”

Aside from hot food, cold wraps, coffee, baked treats and other goodies, over 100 QuickChek locations in New York and New Jersey also offer fueling stations; others offer smoothie and espresso bars, no-surcharge ATMs, Tesla charging stations, free WiFi and vacuums.

2024 marks the second year the Whitehouse Station-based chain landed a spot on the list. QuickChek was nominated for another 10Best award — the best gas stations in the U.S. — but was beaten out by the likes of Buc-ee’s, QuikTrip and Royal Farms.

Royal Farms topped the list of best chain gas station eats, with Casey’s and Kwik Trip claiming No. 2 and 3 spots, respectively. You can view the full ranking here.
