The Chicken or the Egg - Beach Haven

The Best Restaurants On Long Beach Island 2024

"Even though you’re officially on vacation, it can take a while to forget about real-life issues like incompetent bosses and forgotten Netflix passwords. The best way to snap yourself into “vacation mode” on LBI is to head to The Chicken Or The Egg (Chegg) in Beach Haven. It’s a diner filled with groups who seem to have all gotten the memo on the implicit dress code of tank tops and flip-flops. The menu is huge, ranging from six-egg omelets to a reuben with not-too-salty housemade corned beef. This place also serves some of the best buffalo wings we’ve ever had, which are offered naked or breaded and tossed in your choice of 18 different sauces. The plate of naked wings with zapper sauce is our go-to order, and when we say that the wildly spicy ludicrous sauce is a day-ruiner, you should trust us." - alison kessler, regan stephens, matt tervooren, tonya russell
