I recently came across an article from lovefood.com that highlighted the number one "hole in the wall" restaurant in each state across the United States and one of the best is in New Jersey. How fun is that?

It's amazing how many of these small restaurants are serving up some truly delicious food.

What Is New Jersey's Best 'Hole In The Wall' Restaurant?

According to the lovefood.com list, American Melts in Kenilworth is New Jersey's featured 'hole in the wall' restaurant.

What makes this little restaurant so special? Well, it's what's inside that tiny space. And guess what the specialty is? GRILLED CHEESE!

That's right, American Melts has a grilled cheese bar. You can build your own perfect grilled cheese sandwich with all kinds of options.

Think bacon, American cheese, pickles, and more. You can even choose your bread or, if you're feeling adventurous, a donut to put your grilled cheese on.

A grilled cheese on a donut? Now that's something I would have to try!

I absolutely love grilled cheese. Whenever I go to a diner, it's one of my go-to meals. There's just something about a warm, delicious grilled cheese that hits the spot.

So, the idea of a build-your-own grilled cheese bar sounds pretty amazing to me. You get to choose exactly what you want and make it your own.
