This Restaurant Is Serving Up NJ's Best Bowl Of Chili

A new list has revealed which New Jersey restaurant is serving up the best bowl of chili in the state.

The writers at Lovefood curated a list highlighting where to get the best bowls of chili in every state. Their selections were based on user reviews, awards and accolades, as well as their firsthand experience.

The final list features restaurants offering a diverse variety of chilis.

"From down-home barbecue joints to cute plant-based cafés, there are some amazing restaurants across America that pride themselves on their house-made chili," Lovefood writers said. "Some places specialize in spicy Southwestern-style offerings packed with green chiles, while others dole out Texan classics that are all beef and no beans."

In New Jersey, head to Ocean Cafe in Shrewsbury or Long Branch to enjoy the best bowl of chili in the state. The eatery's chicken chili earned a spot on Lovefood's list.

According to Lovefood writers, Ocean Cafe breaks chili tradition by using chunks of chicken rather than standard ground beef.

"The place has a health-focused ethos, and the lean chili is packed with beans and spices that give it just as much depth and warmth as a more typical dish," the writers said.
