It's Nutts Restaurant

If you know, you know. It’s Nutts is a true New Jersey classic. From the iconic roadside sign to the smell of fresh tomato pie and fried chicken in the air, this place feels like stepping back into simpler times. The Original Tomato Pie is the star, perfectly crisp crust, rich tomato flavor, and just the right amount of cheese. You can grab it by the slice, which makes it even better when you just want a quick stop. Their famous fried chicken is golden, crispy, and seasoned just right. And you can’t leave without trying the homemade ice cream, it’s creamy, nostalgic, and the perfect ending to a great meal. It’s not fancy, it’s authentic. Friendly, unpretentious, and full of character. The kind of roadside gem that reminds you why local spots matter. A true Jersey staple.

Aptly named, this place was crazy. Crazy in the fact that it’s on its last legs. I pray that a nice makeover and McKinsey consulting can turn this location around. A pickle with my meal? Sounds great! See the below photo of my “pickle” ie 2 pickle chips… “Add” fries for $4? I haven’t taken arithmetic since elementary school but why does that mean the chips go away? Signs around the store look so poor, written on paper plates. Cmon just do anything else. This place felt like I was in a ferry, without the funny bottles smashing (inquire within to get the full story lol).

We stopped there for dinner after a trip to Peddler's village to see the Christmas lights. We were a group of 8 and ordered a variety of dishes. Service was very good. Food came quickly and was decent. The price was reasonable. Overall, we were mostly happy with our experience.

Place been around for decades with various owners. Current ownrrs been there a long time. Main waitress there, lovely woman, been there I think 17 years. Warm service, friendly. Aim to please. Food is fairly good, fairly routine menu. Good breakfasts. Reasonable prices. Good pizza. Thet also have good fried chicken.Homemade ice cream. Great for families and kids. Plenty of seating, in and out.

"I've never had a bad meal there." That was the quote I got when asking about " Its Nutts". I've visited this restaurant four times in less than a month! It's definitely a "recommend." The place definitely looks like a neighborhood restaurant. Walking in the door, I was met by the smell of fresh fried chicken. It was Tuesday at 5 pm, and we arrived before the dinner rush. The waitresses are quick and pleasant. The Tuesday Special is their famous "Trenton Tomato Pie" for $12. The Trenton Tomato Pie is a large tomato sauce and cheese pizza. They are made fresh and cooked to order for each guest. The crust is thin and crispy. I was very impressed by this simple and delicious pizza. On my next trip, I had the fried chicken dinner. Three pieces of fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and Cole slaw.
