VINDELAND, NJ - What started in 2016 as a small mom-and-pop shop has rightfully grown into a Cumberland County institution. Located at 1370 S Main Rd, Vineland, NJ 08360, Outlaw's Burger Barn & Creamery was born when owner Ryan Briggs set out with a simple vision: create a welcoming gathering place where families could bond over fresh, local food and leave feeling like part of the extended Outlaw's family.
Being family-owned and operated, the team pours their values into everything they do—from sponsoring local community programs to lending a helping hand when neighbors are in need. It is this deep heart for community that makes Outlaw's feel like more than just a restaurant; it is a lively neighborhood hub where faith, family, and great food come together.
Made-to-Order Smash Burgers, Beer Cheesesteaks, and Waffle Fries
In an era of pre-made fast food, diners consistently praise Outlaw's for its commitment to fresh, made-to-order food prepared by skilled cooks who care about quality. We made the 50-minute drive out to Vineland for dinner, and across the board, the food was fantastic:
- The Smash Burger: Ordered hot off the griddle, the smash burger arrived perfectly seared with those coveted crispy, lacy edges while locking in impressive juiciness.
- Bacon Cheeseburger: A classic burger with bacon and cheese delivered bold, savory flavor with generous proportions that make it a standout comfort main.
- The Beer Cheesesteak: I opted for their specialty beer cheesesteak paired with sweet potato waffle fries. The steak was tender, savory, and loaded with flavor, while the waffle fries offered the ideal crisp-to-sweet balance.
Because everything is prepared fresh from scratch, there is a short wait after ordering—but the wait time was good and more than reasonable for the quality you receive. We took our food around the corner to a local park to eat, and even after the walk, everything was still piping hot and delicious.
Ice Cream Cakes, Hand-Scooped Flavors, and Famous Choco Tacos
While the kitchen excels at savory American classics, saving room for dessert is mandatory. The creamery side of the barn features a wide variety of ice cream, ranging from rich, hand-scooped ice cream and creamy shakes to nostalgic treats like house-made choco tacos.
For special occasions, the shop has also become famous across South Jersey for its gourmet ice cream cakes—beautifully crafted, centerpiece-worthy desserts that turn any celebration into something special.
Standout Hospitality, Outdoor Seating, and The Verdict
What ties the entire experience together is the accessibility and warmth of the team. The menu offers impressive portions at good prices, making it an everyday value for families. Whether you are dining at their casual indoor tables or enjoying your meal at the outdoor picnic tables, the friendly staff goes out of their way to make every guest feel right at home.
The Verdict: Between the crisp-edged smash burgers, savory beer cheesesteak, incredible waffle fries, and nostalgic choco tacos, Outlaw's Burger Barn & Creamery easily justifies a road trip from anywhere in the region. It is undeniably worth the drive, and we will definitely be returning.
