....And a Side of Jersey, Please!

A place so good it (might) have 2 names!

Jeff’s Kitchen (Old Rail Tavern): After a Sunday drive passed this establishment that boasts the title “Best pizza in south Jersey” on a sign hanging high so the whole town can see.  I felt it was my duty as a blog writer to observe and report.  The Old Rail Tavern is a small bar with some tables and a few upstairs as well in case you don’t want to sit by the bar.  The décor is fashioned after a garage with some Nascar and Philly Sport things decorating the wall.  It has the hometown type of place and I felt the bar guys were all regulars from the area.  After a pint or two during an Eagles game we decided to give the pizza a whirl.  The menu is pizza intense with plenty of styles, toppings, and sizes to choose from.  We went with a large buffalo chicken pie.  If you do venture to this location and order a BCP just make sure you specify chicken steak or chicken breast (go with the chicken steak).  The pie was a thin crust that came out piping hot.  The coverage of chicken was great.  We weren’t let down in the least.  The first bite was amazing, a perfect blend of chicken, cheese, and hot sauce.  I hate when I order a specialty pizza and am only eating dough.  The hot sauce was both tangy and hot, which is a perfect combination in my opinion.  The dough was nice and crunchy on each bite while still remaining soft, perfection in pizza form.  I put down 4 and went into food coma mode.  I was down for the count.  Make it out to this place for a great slice.  If the games on just look out, it might be a little tough to get a seat.
