The Edge’s closure marks the end of a unique culinary presence in Jackson remembered for its hospitality and atmosphere.

JACKSON, N.J. — The Edge, a prominent dining and gathering spot on North County Line Road, will be closing its doors after five years of operation, the restaurant announced this week.

Built by Phil and Louise Cornick of Colts Neck, the 200-seat restaurant began construction in 2016 and officially opened in 2019. Known for its upscale menu and spacious interior, The Edge quickly became a distinctive part of Jackson’s dining scene.

In a public message, the owners expressed gratitude to the community: “After many incredible years, the time has come for us to say goodbye… Thank you for making us part of your lives. The memories, the laughter, and your loyalty will forever stay with us.”

The farewell was accompanied by an image of the restaurant at sunset, with an empty parking lot symbolizing the closure.

“We lived in Jackson for over 20 years and raised our children here. We dined out often and felt the community needed an upscale restaurant that serves various needs?. A place to celebrate life’s special occasions ❤️ and also a neighborhood restaurant to enjoy Happy Hour after work with friends ?. Why not a date night on Friday or Saturday and dance the night away locally? The Edge was designed to meet the needs of Jackson and its neighboring communities. The Edge was created to provide all of that right here in our own community ?,” the coouple posted on Facebook.

While no official future plans for the property have been announced, it is rumored that a high-end kosher dairy-based restaurant will open at the location.
