Mustache Bill's
Featured In
Out on the northern tip of Long Beach Island’s spit of picture postcard-worthy land is a James Beard American Classic Award winning diner. Yes, a 1950s-style countertop and mint-green swivel stools and booths, shiny and chrome diner. What, you thought we were going to run down New Jersey and not include a diner? Well, cash-only Mustache Bill’s is one of the best around; everything on the menu is made fresh, in-house and all of the seafood is sourced locally. The only caveats here are that Mustache Bill’s opens for the season Mother’s Day weekend, seats 60 at max-capacity and is only open from 6:30 am-3:30 pm—there’s no getting around a wait if you want their mind-bogglingly good Chipped Beef (which you do). Luckily, the tiny community of Barnegat Light is as lovely a place to take a stroll as you’ll find, so put in your name and don’t stray far.
