We're ALWAYS on the hunt for a new and delicious sandwich spot. Lucky enough, here in South Jersey, we've got PLENTY to choose from.

Jersey is no stranger to top-tier sandwiches, but according to the folks at Chowhound, the best sandwich joint in the entire Garden State isn’t in Hoboken, Asbury Park, or even the Philly-adjacent towns, it’s right here in Brigantine.
