SEASIDE HEIGHTS, NJ – Although one of the most iconic Stewart’s drive-ins at the Jersey Shore is gone, replaced by a 7-Eleven that has since gone out of business, the tradition of Stewart’s and the Jersey Shore continues.

A longtime franchise at the corner of Route 37 and Fischer Boulevard is now long gone, but several other Stewart’s at the shore are filling in the gap quite nicely. In particular, the Seaside Heights and Point Pleasant Beach locations.

There are also locations in Rumson, Asbury Park, Little Egg Harbor and Atlantic City.

When you think of the Jersey Shore, images of sandy beaches, lively boardwalks, and mouthwatering food come to mind. And among the countless culinary delights that have become synonymous with the shore, there is one beloved tradition that stands out: Stewart’s Hot Dogs.
