2 New Jersey gas stations named among best for fast food meals
Everyone has their go-to gas stations.
Especially the ones that offer a good bite to eat on the go that won't break the bank. In New Jersey it's a toss up between two popular ones — Wawa and QuickChek — most say.
Wawa Sizzli breakfast sandwiches.
According to Cheapism.com, there are only 11 of them that have the best fast-food meals where you can still eat well without lowering your standards.
The go-to resource for frugal spending gathered data from consumers reviews to reveal the which gas stations have the best fast-food meals across the country.
Out of the 11 fan favorites named on the list, two of the spots have locations in New Jersey. And, surprisingly QuickChek was not named among top spots.
Here's what writers said about Royal Farms and Wawa:
Royal Farms
East Coast favorite Royal Farms was founded in 1959 in Baltimore but has since grown across the Mid-Atlantic. It’s a go-to stop for made-to-order comfort food rather than typical gas station snacks.
The chicken is the main event — hand-breaded, fried fresh, and often compared to fast-food chains, and it comes with sides like Western fries (potato wedges), biscuits, and sandwiches.
Wawa
For a lot of people on the East Coast, Wawa is a routine stop for a good bite. Founded in 1964 in Folsom, Pennsylvania, Wawa built its name on hoagies, and that’s still the main event. Ordering happens on a touchscreen, where you can customize everything down to the toppings. The line of people waiting usually tells you it’s worth it.
The menu has grown over time — breakfast sandwiches, bowls, snacks — but most people stick to what works. A hoagie, a coffee, maybe an iced drink, and you’re set.
