This Historic Bank has been transformed into New Jersey's Best New Steakhouse

If you've ever visited the town of Woodbridge, NJ you know that The National Woodbridge Bank is an infamous town landmark that served as a local bank from the 1920s until the 1950s.

This beautiful building has finally been put to good use and is now under new management as an elite steakhouse.

Strickland's Steakhouse can be described as a retro-inspired restaurant owned by the lifelong Woodbridge resident husband and wife duo- Michael and Jessica Strickland.

Strickland's offers all the makings of a top-notch steakhouse including decadent appetizers like calamari and giant meatballs, plenty of beautiful cocktails, and a stunning atmosphere complete with greenery and chandeliers.

But the real star here are their high-end steaks which can be viewed on display in their dry-aging case.

Diners can choose between filet mignon, NY strip, Kansas City strip, ribeye, or a porterhouse or tomahawk for two.

The menu is also complemented by a bevy of sides including lobster mac and cheese, hot honey shishito peppers, and loaded potatoes plus burgers, pasta, chicken, and seafood dishes if you aren't in the mood for steak.
