We all know where we can find fabulous dining in New Jersey — those restaurants tend to be easily found in popular destinations and bigger towns and cities. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t incredible hidden gems scattered throughout the state. In fact, some of our favorite restaurants are off the beaten path. Consider Sheridan’s Lodge, a lakefront restaurant that makes for a memorable visit.
Sheridan’s Lodge is a bit off the beaten path, but this lakeside pub is well worth a visit.
Sheridan’s Restaurant and Tavern/Facebook Located in Newton, New Jersey, Sheridan’s Lodge is a family-owned restaurant with an inviting atmosphere and amazing food.
The biggest highlight might actually be its location. It sits right on Lake Iliff.
Sherri Verheeck/Google Local We love a gorgeous waterfront view. It’s so peaceful.
There is plenty of outdoor seating, so in the summer months you feel like you’re right on the water.
Sheridan’s Restaurant and Tavern/Facebook Plus, they often have live music to entertain guests.
But if it’s cold or the deck’s fully booked, don’t worry. You’ll still get great views from indoors.
Rich Ball/Google Local The view from inside will still make you go, “Wow!”
The food is classic American comfort, but it’s all done quite well.
Daniel/Google Local We’re dying for some fish and chips, actually.
Fine, maybe we want the steak instead. It just looks so good.

And top it all off with a positively mouthwatering dessert.
