Here in the Garden State, we are blessed with so many choices when it comes to eateries. There is every imaginable ethnic food, and most are of excellent quality. They have to be.

This is a very competitive state for restaurants and that competition keeps them all at the top of their game. If you're not, you go out of business.

With all of the choices in flavors and varieties of cuisine, it's sometimes difficult to find a place that offers healthy options. So many more people are trying to eat healthier and the number of vegetarians in New Jersey seems to be growing rapidly.

Thankfully there is a small chain of restaurants in South Jersey that offer really delicious, well-prepared healthy meals along with the usual American fare.

Healthy Garden has three locations in Camden and Burlington Counties. The Voorhees location was the original, then came Moorestown and the Collingswood spot opened a few years ago.

The food is always fresh and they offer a wide variety of choices, from healthy starters, salads and wraps to burgers and gourmet pizza. Yes, gourmet pizza!

We've been to the Collingswood location and last week went back to the Moorestown store for a quick lunch.

As always, it was awesome. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you're looking for great food with healthy choices and lots of creativity and taste, Healthy Garden is your place.

You can eat inside and while the weather is still good you can dine outside as well.

An amazing NJ restaurant in a historic building

If you've never been to Lambertville, you're really missing out on a true gem of a town in New Jersey.

And if you've never been to Lambertville Station you're missing out on a really great restaurant in a truly historic building.

It's housed in the building that acted as the Lambertville train station dating back to 1867.

The building and the town went through its tough times, but for the last 40 years, Lambertville Station has been serving diners in a casual upscale atmosphere with excellent food.

Last year a prominent restaurant group called Genesis Hospitality took over the historic dining spot and they've continued the excellence that has made this place a must-go-to spot anytime you're in town.

The menu consists of varied contemporary American favorites with plenty of options.

The food and the service are excellent and are a good fit for couples, families, and special occasions.

There is a first-class Inn on the property on the river across the parking lot if you want to stay over.
