Boardwalk Burgers: From Maryland to New Jersey

Bright, cheerful colors, and lots of open space make for a beach-like ambiance in Boardwalk Burgers, a burger & fries joint that migrated from its origins in Ocean City, Maryland to Hackensack, New Jersey. The menu is simple, featuring burgers, french fries, chicken sandwiches, and hot dogs. The famous ‘boardwalk fries’ are hand cut, deep-fried in peanut oil and lightly seasoned, making them a far cry from the frozen factory fries you find in most burger places. Burgers are made to order, with plenty of toppings to choose from to spice it up just the way you like it. Order a creamy shake and an order of funnel cake fries and you’re good to go. Boardwalk Burgers is open every day for lunch and dinner.
