Great NJ restaurant chain spreading across the state
New Jersey is home to a lot of great restaurants. We have our share of national chains but also plenty of independent places that have a very special place in each corner of the state.
There is a small local chain that is making its mark in the Garden State and their success is spreading throughout the state.
Tommy's Tavern & Tap was started in Sea Bright by the late Tommy Bonfiglio and his wife Yvette in 2015.
It's not a chain quite like these, which are the most popular in the country. (Story continues below)

New Jersey local favorite is expanding
The Triple T Restaurant group has now expanded to nine locations throughout the state with another location to open next month in Cherry Hill.
On a recent visit to their Mt. Laurel location, we discovered they've figured out the right combination to make their restaurants a huge success.
Beside those two New Jersey locations, they've opened in Freehold, Clifton, Bridgewater, Edison, Princeton, Morris Plains, along with Staten Island and Newark, Delaware.
Their location in Mt. Laurel is the former location of a T.G.I. Fridays. The Cherry Hill store is a former Hullihan's that should be opened in March of this year.
Their winning formula is a sports bar atmosphere with three separate kitchens offering pizza, sushi and great American fare like burgers and wraps. They have 24 beers on tap and a creative selection of cocktails.
There is another locale restaurant chain with a similar formula that South Jersey residents are familiar with. That being PJ Whelihan's which has locations in South Jersey and Southeastern Pennsylvania.
Tommy's Tavern and Tap has a similar but with a more upscale vibe. The service is great, and the atmosphere is lively and welcoming. Tommy's Tavern & Tap is a winner that will become a New Jersey staple for a long time to come.
