And, on the flip side, when you need a snack after being out all night drinking with your friends, you really don't care who's open as long as they have food (disco fries, anyone?) -- and those places are everywhere in New Jersey, too.

With summertime here and the shore towns overflowing with hungry people, we recently took to the internet to tackle a big project: finding the single-best restaurant in every single Jersey Shore town.

To assemble our catalog, we looked at all kinds of reviews online - a mixture of Google, Yelp, Facebook, OpenTable, etc., and compared them to other restaurants in the same city.

Each ranking was unscientifically weighed, meaning that if one place had a 5.0 with ten reviews and another restaurant had a 4.6 with 500 reviews, we considered the 4.6 to be the better restaurant, based mainly on having a larger sample size.

The fun part is that there are all kinds of restaurants up and down the Jersey Shore and this list covers them all.

A few diners are listed below, some casual spots, some pizza places, some fancy restaurants, and one or two dive bars -- they're all there and they're loved by lots of people.

This list covers the entire Jersey Shore from Sandy Hook down to Cape May and is in alphabetical order by town, not geographical (i.e. North Wildwood and West Wildwood are listed far apart).
