This is pretty cool: a new survey finds the top budget-friendly restaurant in New Jersey is one of the best in the nation.

I mean, the only thing better than getting an absolutely delicious meal at a restaurant is not having sticker-shock when the bill arrives after dessert...

Earlier this month, editors at USA Today looked at Google reviews for over 28,000 restaurants across 50 cities in America to determine the best cheap eats in the country.

Their rankings looked at everything from big fast food chains to small mom-and-pop places. Their only qualifiers were that a restaurant had to be designated as one dollar sign on Google's cost scale (which means it's inexpensive) and it had to have at least 200 reviews.

All kinds of styles of food from all different cities filled-out the top ten -- a sub shop in Tampa to a plant-based restaurant in Baltimore and even a Polish kielbasa smokehouse in Philadelphia. Quite eclectic!

Just outside of the top 10 -- literally -- at #11 in the nation was a restaurant here in the great Garden State.
