Rehearsal Dinner Places on a budget

Hi everyone!  Apparently I'm running behind on everything so now I'm desperately trying to catch up.  We will be having the rehearsal a week before the wedding at our reception venue (which is where we are also getting married) and it will be around 11 a.m.  So...we pretty much won't be having a dinner but more like lunch. 

Does anyone have ideas for places is South Jersey that are not too expensive?  We were kind of also thinking about a barbeque at someone's house but I'm not sure...

Where is your venue?  Just so we can suggest places that are close.

Oh yea that would help!    My venue is the Trump National Golf Club of Philadelphia (formally the Pine Hill Golf Club) in Pine Hill, NJ.

I like the bbq idea. It's informal and would be more relaxed.

Another inexpensive idea is to find a pizzeria/restaurant and have a pizza party.  It would be fairly inexpensive and you wouldn't have to worry about cleaing/prep work at someones housse.

I'm planning my rehearsal dinner right now and am having the SAME problem in South Jersey. Ours is the night before--a SATURDAY--which is posing a big problem b/c no one wants to give up their whole restaurant for the night. Did you think about Villari's Lakeside? or Filomena? They are both beautiful and the food is GREAT!
