NJ Vegan Restaurant Ranked Among America’s Best Budget Eats

One affordable New Jersey restaurant just ranked among the best cheap eats in America.

Not too long ago, editors at USA Today looked at Google reviews for over 28,000 restaurants across 50 cities in America to determine the best cheap eats in the country.

Their rankings included everything from fast-food chains to family-owned restaurants, including one vegan spot in the Garden State that nearly cracked the national top 10.

All kinds of styles of food from all different cities filled out the top ten, including a sub shop in Tampa, a plant-based restaurant in Baltimore, and even a Polish kielbasa smokehouse in Philadelphia.
