Best Burger In Morris Co. Hails From Morristown, Local Magazine Says

MORRISTOWN, NJ — When you think of the best restaurants in Morristown, what comes to mind? Perhaps it’s an Italian spot, an Indian restaurant, or one of the town's steakhouses.

If The Committed Pig was on your list of top choices, you’d be in line with a recent reader survey conducted by Morris/Essex Health & Life magazine.

The recently released 2024 survey highlights a diverse range of top-rated businesses, from butcher shops to tea shops. All these establishments were voted among the top three favorites in the local magazine's annual reader survey.

Morristown featured a diverse array of businesses on the list, with four of them earning the top spot.

In the burger category, Morristown's The Committed Pig took first place, followed by Arthur’s Tavern in Morris Plains. Third place was a four-way tie, featuring Old Mill Tavern in Chester, Bottle Hill Tavern in Madison, Second Half on Main in Denville and Tommy’s Tavern + Tap in Morris Plains.

The Committed Pig, located at 28 W Park Place, features an all-day brunch menu centered on a trio of comfort foods: pancakes, French toast, and burgers.

These dishes were favorites at the owners' first restaurant, "food," in Summit, which opened in 2009 and eventually became The Committed Pig in 2016.

The Morristown location of The Committed Pig opened in 2015.

The restaurant's burgers are crafted from a blend of short rib, hanger steak, and brisket, sourced from the New Jersey-based butcher Pat LaFrieda Meat Purveyor. The wings are tossed in barbecue sauce from 74 BBQ Sauce, a brand created by NFL player Nick Mangold.

Other menu staples include their old-fashioned blueberry pancakes, cinnamon crunch French toast, and a variety of pulled pork sandwiches, all served on a brioche bun. Among these is the iconic pork roll and cheese, which is served on a glazed donut.

The Committed Pig currently has three locations: one in Morristown, one in Summit, and one in Manasquan.
