As we enter local summer in the Garden State, it’s time to enjoy our hidden gems in peace.
If you’re looking for a easy place with great chicken and burgers, look no further than Eat Buzz Bird, a fast-casual joint that just opened earlier this year whose owners intend on making it a new go-to spot for those visiting the Jersey Shore.
The family-owned restaurant offers crispy chicken, smashburgers, wraps, salads, tenders, wings, and fries, including Buzz fries with seasoning and ‘Ya-Ya sauce.’

They also have other sides like mozzarella sticks, fried pickles, Buzz slaw, and ‘Bang’N Bites,’ which are crispy chicken bites tossed in Kung-Fu sauce and drizzled with hot honey.
Come hungry. Leave obsessed.
You can wash those down with one of their dirty sodas, lemonades, or iced tea.
By the way, for those with dietary restrictions, they do have gluten-free options.

We didn’t want to open a restaurant. We wanted to open THE restaurant.
