This North Jersey restaurant will be a filming spot for 'Happy Gilmore' sequel
Steve's Burgers, a popular eatery on Route 46, has been selected as a filming location for the upcoming Netflix movie "Happy Gilmore 2." The announcement was made by the restaurant's owner in an Instagram post on Wednesday.
"Honored, Privileged, and Excited to announce that Steve's Burgers on Route 46 has been chosen by @adamsandler and @netflix to shoot a scene for the new and heavily anticipated Happy Gilmore 2 movie coming soon to Netflix!" Burgers wrote. "We will keep you all posted on shooting dates so you can possibly meet the man myth and legend himself! Thank you for all the support, and remember to always 'play it where it lies.'"
Adam Sandler, who starred in and co-wrote Universal Pictures’ "Happy Gilmore," will reprise his role as Gilmore, a hockey player with anger management issues who discovers a talent for golf.
The original film, directed by Dennis Dugan, remains one of Sandler’s most popular comedies.
Fans of the franchise showed their excitement and support in the comment section of the Instagram post. One user commented, "How many burgers do I need to buy to be an extra or at least meet the Sandman lol."
Another, NorthJersey.com's own John Flynn, wrote, "Remember when making those burgers on film, It’s all in the hips. It’s all in the hips. It’s all in the hips. It’s all in the hips. Just easin’ the tension, baby!"
Filming dates have not yet been announced, but fans are eager for the chance to meet Sandler, who is known for his iconic portrayal of the hot-tempered golfer.
