Another landmark restaurant in South Jersey, the Crab Trap restaurant has been serving locals and tourists at Somers Point since 1967. This restaurant was opened to diners by Jack Wallace by the name ?Maenner?s Caf?? on the Somerset Plantation, which is currently known as the oldest estate in New Jersey. Sandwiches and tap beer were the usual fares served at the old Maenner?s.
