The best place to stop and grab some grub after a long day of offshore fishing in Atlantic beach is El's drive in. Located just right up the street from the marina. There service is quick,prices cheap, and shrimp burgers the best in town.

Joe,

Pork roll: are you referring to Taylor Ham? I assume so since I grew up on it, just never called it Pork Roll.

I have 2 great places on both coasts for food. In PA there used to be an old grocery store that opened at 4am on Saturdays and would make you subs to go, before that was popular. You got meat, cheese, mustard and mayo and that was it. But it waswrapped in butcher paper and tasted great. On the West Coast in CA, there's Santana's, with the best burrito, the California Burrito. They are open 24 hours a day. Great anytime.

On the way to our local pond,we stop at a little eatery that has the best salted ham, goetta and fried tators with onion, this side of the Ohio.
That with eggs sunny side up and cup of hot joe,and a juke-box that never stops, gets us through the day!

Poke Roll and Grits! A family staple for years.

Poke your feet under the table, Roll your eyes, and Grit yore teeth!

LOL

If anybody ever comes to fish High Rock Lake (Home of the Bassmaster Classic in '94, '95, '98, and 2007) you have to eat at Jimmie's. It looks like crap, but they have food to die for (literally). If you eat breakfast, the western omelet is the best i've eaten, and the onion rings are killer.

Aaaaaaand I still can't spell sandwich. Oh well, blame the public schools.

Also, in up in north Jersey they call it Taylor Ham like that's its right name. I think someone else already pointed this out.

And have you tried Hayak's in Newton? There's not really any super-exceptional fishing there that I know of, but the sandwhiches are tough to beat. Sandwiches. Daggone it!

Someone really needs to bring the Jersey deli concept to the south.

Whenever we go fishing, just depends on when we are hungry but we always end up eating at a little pizzaria. It is run by a little family that is very nice and even let us come in when they were about to close... those are my kind of people!

Sounds like a lot of east coast flavor...I will try to balance this out a little... The best place for a burger, probably in most of central Idaho is the Banks Cafe in between Boise and McCall- right on the shore of the Payette River... other Idaho favorites are Antonios Pizza and Pasta in Challis, ID. We used to eat GREAT pit BBQ at Booker's Outpost (it has a new name and owners now) downriver from North Fork on the Main Salmon, at the mouth of Panther Creek- used to be the best trout fishing ever- when I was a kid I would catch 15-30 big pan trout a day with a bamboo cane pole and red worms (we would let them go until about an hour before we wanted to go home, an them catch our limit for dinner!)
My favorite WTF diner was in Monument Or. near the North Fork of the John Day- great western smallmouth bass water- anyhow, I do not remember what the name of the place was, but it was housed in a single wide trailer- in a trailer park- it had seating for about 12, and coffe mugs for about 10... I about laughed my a** off when we walked up to the place, but the eggs were great, and it felt like sitting down to breakfast with your neighbors... especially if you live in a trailer court!

Halibut fish and chips at the Pioneer Bar & Bamboo Room in Haines Ak. Really tasty and almost more than I can eat!! Haines is one of the most beautifull places in the world also. You can take your wife or your hunting buddy.

The Club Diner on rt 168 in Bellmawr (south jersey). its no where near any good hunting but its the meeting and kickoff point of a lot of trips. used to stop at olga's diner on rt. 70 and rt. 73 when i was a little kid going surf fishing with my dad. but that just closed up for good.

and by the way, Pork Roll RULES!

Hey 2Poppa, are you rockin' the Glier's Goetta? I'm an Indiana farm boy that married his way into Delhi. We love goetta. My grandmother still makes her own (and still calls them "grits"). Yep, pretty much the same as scrapple, but why call it a name that has "crap" right in the middle of it.

My favorite will always be the Napoleon Tavern in Napoleon, IN. Hamburger with pickles and an order of fries, wash it down with sweet tea, then head back out to the quail fields.

Eat some delicious pork roll!!!!!!!!
