Restaurants in Hoboken

“Now this is what you call Quality Pizza! Not my number one but it's damn close. Would like the slices just a tiny bit thicker. Tomato slices were phenomenal where the tomato sauce was but dry every where else. Still, with that crunchy crust and great flavor... Great job guys. I'll definitely be back to try a bigger variety of your slices. So far, my favorite pizza in Hoboken. But the search will continue.”

“Few places are as accommodating as the staff here. The menu, although on available digitally, is extensive. Large selection of GF (gluten free) items. You can start with apps, choose from pizza or pasta as an entree. It is BYOB and that can make for a fun evening. They will accommodate to suit taste, we had someone that was sensitive to sodium, they adjusted sted the entree to suit. The place is small, the food tasty and seriously, the service is over the top.”

“Heard good things about this place and my first visit did not disappoint. The vibe was fun and trendy, and the food and drinks were good. I’ve never had a frozen Aperol spritz until I came to this place, and it was delicious. Will absolutely come back!”

“Really neat little place, friendly people, delicious treats!”

“I was craving some classic New York-style Halal Guys cart food for dinner on a weekday night, and a quick Google search led me to this gem in Hoboken. The reviews were glowing—and after trying it myself, I can say they were absolutely spot on.

There was already a small line (3–4 people) when I got there, which was a good sign. I went for the classic: meat over rice. The beef steak was thinly sliced, perfectly grilled, and packed with smoky, bold flavors. The yellow rice was aromatic and tasty, pairing beautifully with the meat. Another highlight was the freshness of the salad on the side—crisp lettuce, bell peppers, onions, tomatoes—all super fresh and refreshing. Overall, the portion size was huge. I couldn’t even finish it in one sitting.

Overall, this place checks all the boxes: affordable, fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. Definitely worth the stop if you’re in the area. Highly recommend!”

“I went to Martha's during lunch with my colleagues. The interior is a nice vibe that fits anything from a lunch with coworkers to brunch with family. Our server did a great job of explaining the menu options. We ordered some apps and then ordered the steak frites. The steak was cooked to perfection. It also came with a nice salad, perfectly crispy French fries and we added on some very addicting garlic bread. This is definitely a spot I will be returning to!”

“Came here for Valentine's Day. Staff were very welcoming and food was amazing. Live DJ was a nice touch and the bathrooms downstairs were super clean. Would def recommend.”

“Doughnuts are super yummy! And the milkshakes are soooo good!”

“My first time to Pokemoto. I was a bit overwhelmed at all of the options, but what an absolutely amazing experience! My tuna bowl was fantastic!”

“OMG this pizza was so good! We got the Diavola and La Mortadella with Di Parma salad and it was all *chefs kiss*! We had to reheat it in the oven as we ordered delivery but the crust came out crisp and the toppings were simple, balanced and delicious!”

“Really nice blend of foam, sugar, and taro—meaning that none was overwhelming but refreshing in a way that’s rare for a flavor this intense. Love the pleasing colors and most importantly, the smooth as cream texture of the slushie drink. Would definitely recommend and I’m planning on getting the matcha flavor next time!”

“Service was very slow but the food was good. We had the vegetarian enchiladas and spinach burritos.

Vegetarian options: Veggie and spinach options available in enchiladas and burritos.”

“Nice Place”

“Great place for dinner and drinks”

“The girls at the counter are super nice and very aesthetic. The place seems really nice and the food here is super good. I’ve been eating here for the past two years with my boyfriend and we both love it at all price matches, food quality, and will forever come every day of my life Every hour”

“Chef Andy served some of the freshest sushi that keeps me coming bak even 2 weeks. you no longe have to go to NYC to get great omakase. the boton ebi is the bomb!!!”

“Great place happening lots of fun good food n drinks Lov it”

“Great food and atmosphere. Great French menu plus excellent cocktail drinks. Really top notch restaurant. One of my favorite places to eat in Hoboken.

Small area of improvement: It would be better if you did not turn off the lights to sing happy birthday. We went on a night where there were several birthday dinners, and it was a bit annoying for other guests to turn all the lights off.”

“A very nice place to check out if you’re into mediterranean cuisine! Excellent vegetarian options and delicious food. But if you’re someone who enjoys good service like me then this is not the place. after being sat down for 15 mins the server gave the menu. After reminding 3 times, we finally got water which was bottled and we were not told about I assumed they would bring tap water and on top of that they will randomly put 15% or 18% tip irrespective of party size. Waiting for menu for 15 mins and then waiting for water not sure what kind of service one is getting and to top it off getting the drinks ordered post meal! Again if you’re a foody then this a good place to try but not for the service.”

“Everyone there was so warm and welcoming. Henry made being here a really fun experience. My friends and I came for the Love Island season finale, and it was so fun to all be together with some good drinks and some good tv. I am definitely coming here again!”

“This place is the heart of Hoboken! If you ever visit Hoboken, you must stop by the Green Pear Cafe!!!”

“I’ve always really loved this place. The cacio y pepe, scallops and pork chop parm prob fave dishes. Had a weird obsession with their kale Caesar where I ate it every day for like 2 months.”

“Recently dined here again. Food was excellent! Decided to try a lamb dish and loved it. This is one of my Hoboken favorites. Live music, friendly staff, good wine selection.”

“So, no shade to anyone but….there’s Subway, and then there’s Vito’s. I had to stop eating at Subway sometime ago. The quality drastically reduced and it just didn’t hit the same for me. Last summer, a friend and I came across Vito’s. We were craving a good hero/cold cut and checked out some of the reviews and saw that they were good, so went inside. We ordered turkey heroes and they were EXCEPTIONAL. Now I know some may think that it isn’t hard to make or find a good turkey cold cut, but trust me, it IS, and I’ve had many bad turkey cold cuts. It’s quite disappointing. What really makes a bad turkey cold cut bad, is, well, the turkey lol. You can taste when it isn’t quality turkey, when it’s processed, etc. It just doesn’t taste the same. When tasting these turkey cold cuts from Vito’s, the bread was amazing, the turkey was amazing, it was fresh and filling! It was also good service. The staff took our sandwich orders and nailed them! I went back last week for another turkey cold cut and it was also more than exceptional. So simple, yet exceptional. Thank you for quality heroes, Vito’s. I need to go back to try some of their pastas and sauces because everything is simply made and authentic. I will absolutely be back. Also, they have a happy hour, everyone! I forget the pricing and details but it’s great! Go check’em out!”

“Amazing views of NYC and beautiful decor inside Halifax! From a cool bar with creative cocktails to a dining room where the food and service is top notch! Beautiful outside dining is also available in warmer months . Stay over at the W and go for their Brunch!! best brunch in Hoboken!”

“Delicious meal. Service spot on. We’ll be back.”

“This is such a lovely place with a warm, friendly ambience. I brought my son here on Christmas Eve, and we had a lovely time. The chocolate martinis are amazing and the wine list is very good. We started with perfectly chilled and delicious oysters and then enjoyed aranciata with crab and a lovely lobster pasta dish. The vibe is inviting for families with young children as well and there is also a nice bar for adults only. This is a great place that I will return to soon !”

“All day dim sum & Cantonese cuisine. 🥡🥢”

“**Restaurant Review: Metropolis, Hoboken**

Metropolis in Hoboken is a fantastic bar and restaurant that effortlessly combines great cocktails, delicious food, and a prime location near the train station.

The cocktail menu is a standout, featuring creative and expertly crafted drinks that cater to a variety of tastes. Each sip was refreshing, and the bartenders clearly know their craft.

The food exceeded our expectations, with a diverse menu that offered something for everyone. Dishes were flavorful and beautifully presented, making for a satisfying dining experience.

Located conveniently near the train, Metropolis is perfect for a quick stop after work or a weekend outing. The vibrant atmosphere and attentive staff enhance the overall experience. Whether you’re in for cocktails or a full meal, Metropolis is a must-visit spot in Hoboken!”

“If your a lover of coffee and fresh premium quality food, Bluestone Lane has something special waiting for you. Next time your in Hoboken do yourself a favor and stop in for breakfast or brunch. You’ll be sure to find the right choice of specialty coffee and food options that suit your pallet.”

“First time there today and we were taken care of by Miguel. Such a nice person who let us taste the mozzarella and help us decide what sandwich we wanted. 10/10 service and quality. Would recommend over and over !”

“Hands down better than almost all NYC yakitori. 💯

Recommendations:
- Chicken Oyster 😳
- Chicken Wings 😩

General Comments:
- Although it takes a while, it's clear that the time is used to deliver quality. 😌
- Perfectly cooked skewers with smokey flavor. 🔥
- I was afraid the chicken might be raw because the skewers are thick, but no, they were thoroughly cooked AND juicy.
- The mushroom and chicken thigh skewers were also great but the other two I recommended were even better.”

“I like them, they’re nice. My buddy ate a Takoyaki and it burned his mouth, and one of the workers immediately rushed to get him some water. Very nice gesture, will be returning. I recommend the Thai Iced Tea.”

“Amazing coffee - personal favorite right now is the pistachio latte - it is crazy good! And the coconut cold brew ... paird with the coconut loaf! Heaven! LOVE THE VIBE HERE!”

“Sharma-ji took really good care of us! We were group of 3 friends and we really enjoyed the food, ambience is good too! And the employees are really welcoming and gave us good hospitality.”

“This spot is my go-to when I have a headache and need a strong ahh coffee to pick me up. Their beans are from intelligentsia which I think might be my fav of all time. Iced oat vanilla latte. THE BEST! Of course their wraps are great too and super convenient when you need a quick lunch. I get the Beyond Far East Wrap (love when a vegan option needs no modifications). Aside from that, I do wish they had a V bakery item.. and that their buffalo cauliflower was dairy-free because it's so good! LUV ALFALFA <3”

“I live in Florida, but I wanted to send Halloween-themed baked goods for my sons and daughter-in-law in Jersey City. Baking Mama delivered delicious cookies, cupcakes, and brownies on time right to their door. My kids said they were delicious and they looked great in the photos they sent. Two thumbs up!”

“The best! Need her as my neighbor.. yummy best cookies and cakes �”

“I don't normally feel compelled to leave a review but I have to give this place props for being so dependable when it comes to the ideal coffee shop experience. I've been to every cafe in Hoboken and Jersey City. Tasted it all. Because I LOVE coffee. And a lot of them are really good. But I will always come back to Joey No Nuts for my favorite cup. The espresso drinks are consistently perfect. Whether it's a cortado, iced espresso (my fav) or regular brew... the balance is spot on every single time—smooth af, never bitter. (For a former barista like me, this is everything.) Kind of place where regulars are greeted by name, and newcomers feel like they’ve just found their spot. Because they're good people who want what we want, the perfect cup of Joe with a peaceful vibe. And if you're a music fan, forget it, you'll come back just to hear their collection of LPs. Worth the walk for this neighborhood staple.”

“Best food truck in JC, clean and generous staff .”

“Great coffee and a real neighborhood vibe.”

“The absolute best Ramen!! Amazing food and great service!”

“Totally a hidden Korean spot for their street food and mochi donuts! Limited seats so they majorly do delivery.
(The owner said they r famous for their Korean-style fried chicken, definitely visit again for that.)

?❤️‍??Donut was so chewy, soft, and flavored! I love my injeolmin flavor which was powdered soybean. Gentle taste, not too sweet. Highly recommended✨

❤️✨Original corn dog was totally delicious too. I got half mozzarella half hot dog to try both, the outside bread was chewy, crispy, melted with cheese part. Thus I preferred mozzarella part? crazy good.”

“Good place if you are interested in soccer, they clearly appreciate it and have it engraved in their culture. Good estrella drafts and watch experience. Would recommend”

“My favorite place in Hoboken! The owner is one of the kindest people I have ever met, and every delicious dish is made with love. Great coffee, omelettes and breakfast sandwiches! Cozy ambiance, good music and cool local artwork on the walls. Definitely give this place a try!”

“A local favorite for me! Food is always fresh, healthy, and delicious! Friendly and hard-working staff. I really enjoy the PB&J along with any of the smoothies. The specials are always refreshing to try too. Plenty of seating or you can grab and go. Definitely a 10/10 recommend!”

“The food, bartenders and patrons make Carpe Diem a great spot. Thoroughly enjoyed!”

“I could've sworn I had reviewed Kikilu before. I went on opening day a couple of years ago and we've been going back periodically ever since. The buildup to opening was huge since we're super-regulars at Otto Strada.

The flavors are all great and rotate pretty often so there's always something new to try. The atmosphere is sleek but also fits right into the neighborhood. Are the prices high? Sure, but you just eat it slowly with that little spoon and savor every bit.”

“Great pies! Huge selection.”

“Fresh and unique. I recommend the Mexican street corn fries.”

“Love coming here for lunch. The food is good. The service great, accommodating, and straightforward. The portion sizes are top notch and that's coming from someone who eats a lot. And it doesn't break the bank.”

“Food was delicious and the staff were kind and attentive. What else could you want? We love coming here.”

“👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🥂🥂🥂🥂👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍”

“Giving a 4 star for the food as it was very good. Pizza was excellent and the two pasta dishes were good. Portions were smaller than expected for the price. Service was friendly but our server was preoccupied and needed to be reminded about the drink. The pizza was the highlight of the meal.”

“If you’re looking for great food/cocktails/service/ambience...Saku is for you!”

“Pie was delicious, service was exceptional, interior was beautiful, owner was awesome…AND it’s BYOB (with a liquor store no minutes away). Love Love Loved it.”

“This is my boyfriend and I favorite place to have drinks and appetizers. Their martinis are decent, could use a little more olive juice every time but it's good enough. Their appetizers and raw bar are delicious, we love their Blue point oysters and the tuna tartar is to die for. I love the vibes or the bar, this place makes me zen. What else could you ask for.”

“Could not believe there is a small town bar in the middle of Hoboken. Loved everything about it, from the bartender Daniel, who was not only professional, but friendly and fun to chat with, to the juke box you can play your music.

I loved that it was very quiet in the middle of the week, and you could interact comfortably with other peole”

“The BEST frozen Margaritas in All Hudson County, hands DOWN!!!! Been coming here for YEARS!!”

“Wow… outstanding food! Gorgeous restaurant, such a fun and lively vibe. Loud, dark, and the food was mind blowing. Everything was perfect. Thank you!”

“Mutz is a soft, mild cheese. You'd be forgiven for thinking that it would struggle to stand up to roast beef, roast turkey, hot peppers, sweet peppers, and the soft loaf encasing them all in a piled-high deli sandwich.

This mutz shines through. The stories about this place? The Biancamano lore? All true. This old-school deli shows why they're an institution.”

“Stumbled upon this coffee shop last year when they just opened and a year later, we're still going. Hoboken has so many coffee shops but this has to be my favorite one. The drinks are always on point, the baked goods are just so delicious and tastes so fresh! Finding Filipino snacks in Hoboken is a gem. Best part about Hey Coffee People is how friendly the staff is, so nice and always so cheerful. I wish I lived in Hoboken, I would come here everyday and get my favorite cinnamon buns”

“Love Schmitty’s overall - great spot, awesome staff, good vibes. Specifically wanted to pass along my amazing experience having a party there ….

We hosted my dad’s birthday at Schmitty’s and it was perfect. We rented out the indoor and outdoor space privately for a few hours, which gave us plenty of room to celebrate with family and friends in a relaxed, fun setting.

The staff at Schmitty’s were incredible—friendly, professional, and truly went above and beyond to help make the event special. They even recommended a fantastic musician for live music, who we ended up hiring, and it brought such a great energy to the night.
Everything came together beautifully, and it was a memorable evening for our whole family. Huge thanks to the Schmitty’s team—we couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”

“Beautiful and delicious gift boxes! Great for holiday entertaining!”

“Nice atmosphere and everything tasted wonderful. The only thing that would make this place better would be mimosas!”

“Went for Sunday brunch. Was told we could have a table, but there was a party coming in an hour so..,
The waitress was fine, but took her a while to circle back to us to check us out and given we were on a time frame, thought she would have been on top of that.
The food was good. Split an eggs Benedict. The hollandaise sauce was really good.
I realize this location turns into a club at night, but the music was quite loud for a brunch crowd. It doesn't have to be a club feel all of the time.”

“Such a cute, warm place! So glad to try this place on a sunny Saturday morning. I had the grilled cheese avocado tomato panini, and it was amazing! 🤤Tasty coffee, scone and macaron too! Definitely recommend without a doubt! Enjoy!”

“The service of the turning point has fell off quite a bit from what I am use to from this amazing breakfast spot Not once the the server come to refresh or ask if we needed a refill and also had to be reminded where's our coffee and they weren't as busy as they usually are Brenda we need you back”

“Great place for dinner and drinks”

“Never had a bad meal in 24 years of living in Hoboken and eating at La Isla. One of the best!”

“Great hang out for local Hoboken bourgeois dwellers . If you are a right wing political wako, you won’t be confortable . Best baristas in the NYC area and beyond Shout out to Jordan and his crew”

“Shoutout to Marcela! I am a former 25+ year Hoboken resident and I’m not in town as often, but it happened to be cheat day, I was in the area, and made my way to Sweet. I got there at closing time, and saw Marcela lock the doors. I saw her come out the side door and I asked from my car if she’d be willing to take one more customer. Marcela did not hesitate, she told me to come back around, she’ll take care of me and she did. I went from bummed out to cheesing with joy. Thanks Marcela!”

“got the huli huli bowl.....amazing! food is phenomenal, restaurants clean, staff a nice!”

“Excellent place to eat with family, good food and the best customer service with the best kindness😍😍😍😍 10/10 for the chicken skewers, I think I have a favorite restaurant”

“I was impressed by how great this place was. I’m not always adventurous with desserts, but the cantaloupe icy with ice cream was amazing. Service was awesome too. We will be going back!”

“My mom thinks your food is delicious, she is a senior and my sister in law Linda Husted orders from your restaurant. It makes her happy to know how much she enjoys your food!”

“Took my husband here for his 64th birthday dinner on a recommendation and was not disappointed! This gem checked all the boxes in my book! We will definitely be coming back!! Thanks to the great bartender and the owners who went out of there way to make sure everything a that Carlos had an amazing experience!”

“Best food truck in JC, clean and generous staff .”

“We celebrated our granddaughterKylie Kerwin’s 13th birthday last night It is her favorite in Hoboken and they go out for dinner a lot. The food was outstanding and the service was excellent. They helped to make her birthday so great. Thank you to everyone and for sure we will be back again .!!”

“Quality is better then food sold at most restaurants”

“It’s a very comfortable & warming place!”

“Doughnuts are super yummy! And the milkshakes are soooo good!”

“Now this is what you call Quality Pizza! Not my number one but it's damn close. Would like the slices just a tiny bit thicker. Tomato slices were phenomenal where the tomato sauce was but dry every where else. Still, with that crunchy crust and great flavor... Great job guys.

“Great Breakfast sandwiches! Had an amazing time and all deserts we purchased were amazing! Definitely going back for more!”

“Great local spot right on the Hudson.”

“Great Mother’s Day brunch!”

“The service of the turning point has fell off quite a bit from what I am use to from this amazing breakfast spot Not once the the server come to refresh or ask if we needed a refill and also had to be reminded where's our coffee and they weren't as busy as they usually are Brenda we need you back”

“Loved this place. Great atmosphere!”

“We celebrated our granddaughterKylie Kerwin’s 13th birthday last night It is her favorite in Hoboken and they go out for dinner a lot. The food was outstanding and the service was excellent. They helped to make her birthday so great. Thank you to everyone and for sure we will be back again .!!”

“Really neat little place, friendly people, delicious treats!”

“Came here for Valentine's Day. Staff were very welcoming and food was amazing. Live DJ was a nice touch and the bathrooms downstairs were super clean. Would def recommend.”

“All day dim sum & Cantonese cuisine. 🥡🥢”

“Stephanie is very welcoming, loved the food, had a great time, loved the pizza, in general a great experience to be at Hoboken next to the Hudson River and enjoying the great view with great people.”

“The best food ever! Mamoun’s in Hoboken never disappoints! Their falafel is perfectly crispy, the shawarma is packed with flavor, and the hummus is always fresh and creamy. The portions are HUGE, the prices are great, and the service is fast and friendly. Whether it’s a quick bite or a late-night snack, this spot is a must-visit!”

“From the moment we walked in, the service was outstanding, attentive, warm, and genuinely welcoming. The staff and management clearly take pride in creating a great atmosphere, and it shows.

We ordered the burrito, avocado toast, and pancakes, and every single dish was absolutely delicious. The burrito was flavorful and hearty, the avocado toast was fresh and perfectly seasoned, and the pancakes were fluffy and just the right amount of sweet.

Highly recommend this spot for anyone in Hoboken looking for amazing food and even better hospitality. We’ll definitely be coming back!”

“Nice place with a lot of choices. Looking to the pictures and reviews, I regret not come back again to try it. The time I went was after my breakfast and just asked a cold drink.
I will back soon.”

“Purely giving it 5/5 stars for their matcha. Only place in Hoboken that whisks their matcha fresh per drink which contributes to the flavor profile of the matcha. This is REAL matcha. Other cafes use powder matcha mixed with sugar, premade/big batchs (more oxidized and sediment build up) etc. Also their flavored matchas are made really well, can make various sweetener/dairy customizations to matcha as well.”

“Very cool experience trying out one of the first of its kind sweet greens in New York City. They had their infinite kitchen, which makes all of the salads in record speed time along with perfect portions. Melissa showed great hospitality while we waited for our large order and offered us to try their brand new fresh drinks made in house and it was such a lovely experience.”

“I have been around many sweetgreen locations in the city and the quality of my meal at the new Hoboken location far exceeded other locations. I was a tad surprised to see it was setup as a take-out / to-go model location only, with ordering done at a kiosk, but it didn’t matter to me since I wasn’t planning on eating in. They are also using the robot technology to prepare the salads, so you don’t see all the veggies / fixing right in front of you like other locations. It was my first time experiencing the robot salad and the portions were very generous / quinoa perfectly warm. So if your priority is a quality salad or bowl then this place is for you, but if you’re looking for a more classic sweetgreen aesthetic with eat-in tables, you may be disappointed.”
