Restaurants in Hoboken

“The ranch dressing with the bbq Pollo is absolutely incredible”

“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.”

“This is our new favorite place the food and service was amazing. We enjoy our time we went during lunch time with no reservations and we didn’t wait long to be seated and our waiter was patient didn’t rush us and was kind. We are definitely going back.”

“We had our annual holiday dinner with friends on 12/21/25. We were a party of 9. The service was fantastic. Tiernan was our server and he and the team were exceptional. Great cocktails and menu recommendations. Friendly and attentive without being intrusive at all. We will definitely be back.”

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

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

“I was there at the end of the night. After a 12 hour shift, you'd think these guys would slow down or half ass the order they get? NOPE! they still served some of the best halal chicken over rice i have had in YEARS!!!”

“Quick and attentive service”

“This restaurant truly surprised me in the best ways! The food was AMAZING, the service was AMAZING, and the atmosphere was AMAZING. Perfect spot for a date night or a girl’s night out. We will definitely be back!”

“Nice Place”

“Toast & Bowl is a hidden gem! The Bulgogi Rice is packed with flavor — tender, perfectly marinated beef over warm rice that’s both comforting and satisfying. The Popcorn Chicken is crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and seasoned just right — seriously addictive. And the Sweet & Spicy Sandwich is the perfect balance of heat and sweetness, with a delicious crunch in every bite. Everything tastes fresh and well-made. Definitely coming back for more!”

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

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

“This was our first time trying this famous sandwich place. Thus, we were not sure what were the options. Unfortunately, they do not have a list of menu. However, they were very patient with us and told us what the special sandwiches of the day were. We got that day's special which was roastbeef. It was quite delicious. Next time, I would like to try a sandwich with bresaola (if they have).”

“Pizza is absolutely sensational -- truly exceptional. Best I have ever had anywhere.”

“Absolutely stellar experience. From being beginning to end. From the warm greeting from Juan and Brian upon entering, to the cheeky banter from chef johan, to the warm smile from Kevin. It felt as though I was being welcomed into the home of an old friend who had particularly exceptional taste in music. All in all, a lovely experience that I would definitely recommend.”

“Great place for dinner and drinks”

“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.”

“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.”

“The Real Deal In Italian Deli.”

“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.”

“Atmosphere was great, super chill and perfect for a casual night out. Callie, I hope I got her name right, did a wonderful job. She was working as both the bartender and our server and handled everything so smoothly. You could tell she was busy but still stayed friendly and attentive the whole time. The drinks were amazing too. Definitely a good spot for casual drinks with friends.

Unfortunately, the steak wasn’t our favorite. Me and my girls all ordered it and it was very hard to chew (cooked medium) and could have used more seasoning :/ That said, the fries that came with it were amazinggg.

Overall, I would definitely come back for the drinks and the vibe.”

“Awesome venue with great service and live music. Definitely check it out”

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

“Great food and cocktails.”

“After 1 month in Europe, we explored Hoboken via NYC& found Metropolis. My Cobb salad & chicken wrap was perfect, hot , fresh & prepared fresh!! Gabby was our server & made our lunch a fantastic experience!!”

“Great place for dinner and drinks”

“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 !”

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

“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.”

“lived in the 'boken in 90's and 2000's and this place was outstanding. I still make it a point to visit when I'm passign through town. Great to see it's still as aswesome as ever. cheers”

“Free use of the bathroom, clean. Great, quick service. Hot food is hot, cold food is cold. I liked their unsweetened iced tea. Very well made! Open 24 hours. Free parking!”

“Friendly service and great food…”

“Great drinks and consistent quality every time! The tea is always fresh, toppings are delicious, and the staff is friendly and efficient. Definitely one of my go-to boba spots :D”

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

“Great place amazing burgers and really friendly staff! I love the chicken burgers and how many varieties of sauce they have. Seriously if your in Hoboken I’d come here for a burger over any other place”

“Almost too hip of an atmosphere. Looks futuristic and like a hipster puked all over it but it’s still cute. I miss the old schnackenbergs! This place looks odd in old cute charming uptown Hoboken. It’s very Portland-esque. Good salad tho.”

“Chip city is insane !! They are such a caring company to donate to the NYC Ronald McDonald house. I was honored to have tasted a cookie (or 2) and was blown away. Absolutely amazing love for their community. Thank you Chip City !”

“Great food n environment rocks”

“Great service! You immediately feel welcomed walking in, and there's many options to choose from in their menu. The food is fantastic, and would come here more often if I could.”

“BEST INDIAN FOOD I EVER HAD. Wish I was closer to Hoboken so I can come here more often.
This place is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, the warm and inviting atmosphere makes you feel right at home. The menu is a perfect balance of traditional flavors and modern twists — every dish we tried was bursting with freshness and expertly spiced.

The service was impeccable: attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. Drinks were crafted beautifully, complementing the food perfectly.

Whether you’re looking for a casual dinner, a night out with friends, or a special celebration, Empyrean delivers an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Indian cuisine with a contemporary flair!”

“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!”

“This yakitori stand is truly amazing. The chicken skewers were cooked and served perfectly, and it’s such a comfort food on a freezing windy afternoon. We went to another renowned Michelin starred yakitori restaurant exactly a night before we had Erotori (this yakitori stand). The food we had here is comparable with or even better than the Michelin starred restaurant (with 1/10 of the price). This place is real. It has the real yakitori spirit just like how it’s started in Japan. Served from the street to the general public. No fancy stuff but truly delicious food. We love it.”

“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!”

“I have been to this place every other day the past month, and countless times before that. The food is mouth watering, this is coming from someone who has been to more countries than holes on his body.

The staff are also very friendly and willing to accommodate reasonable requests! I love Pho Express!”

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

“Great coffee and a real neighborhood vibe.”

“Loved my iced mocha with Almond Milk today! The barista was friendly and great service. super cute little shop!”

“Came in to grab a coffee and do some work. Great environment for working/studying. It’s not too big but there’s a big table with lots of seating. The coffee was great and there were some bakery options if you want a quick bite as well!”

“Best gelato in the USA! Okay, I’m exaggerating but it feels like I’m transported back to Italy—same taste & vibes.

Even their coffee tastes strong, simple, and satisfying like in Italy.”

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

“Best coffee shop in Hoboken. There are a lot of cookie cutter, copy & paste, coffee shops in Hoboken, but this one stands out for its excellent coffee and unique atmosphere.”

“We had such an amazing private party here- every member of the staff was so kind and accommodating. We do this party every year and this was our favorite venue by far- we will be back!!”

“I would strongly recommend paying this place a visit. The food is great and the service is very fast.”

“Great pies! Huge selection.”

“I routinely visit the Vista to work remotely and deal with personal matters. It is a fantastic place to concentrate and get things done. I can rely on amazing and tailored service from the attendants and the owner. Strong coffee, delicious pastries and a hearty menu grace this spot. My double espresso is served in fine china, which makes me feel valued. Love this spot.”

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

“👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🥂🥂🥂🥂👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍”

“Came with my husband and daughter. We had reservations so got seated right away. My husband had the burger and it was great. And I ordered the barbes royal and it was delicious! Will definitely go back!”

“Extremely friendly service! I was visiting from out of town and saw the champagne and oyster deal; SO good! I’d definitely come back here. Oh and the hot sauce? So good that I bought a bottle to bring home!”

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!”

“Stopped in for a beer (they did have one local beer on tap - which was excellent). It had a very old school neighborhood dive bar feel. The bartender was friendly, welcoming and helpful.”

“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.”

“I dropped my dog off nearby and was looking for a place to sit and eat when I came across this deli. I couldn’t be happier with my experience. The sandwich was incredibly fresh and delicious, and the owner was genuinely kind. Highly recommend!”

“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.”

“I had my birthday party here and it was so easy to plan and execute with Amanda! We rented the whole bar and back patio, got to create two specialty cocktails, and provide our own playlist. We had to provide our own food, but that was no problem since we got Napolis :). Amanda and her team were great to work with and everyone had an amazing time! Thank you again!”

“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!”

“Absolutely delicious taro paste with grass jelly — rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced without being overly sweet. You can tell it’s made with real taro and care.

I’ve been helped by Daniel on two separate occasions, and both times he’s been fantastic — friendly, patient, and genuinely attentive. He made the experience just as good as the dessert itself.

Consistently great quality and great service. I’ll definitely be back.”

“Great addition to the 5th Ward! Excellent service. Love the Chai Latte, the homemade marshmallows that top drinks for kids and adults are special, great gifts for babies and and a welcoming bright space in the location formerly occupied by Truglio’s. You have to check it out. Congratulations to Kristin and Catherine — the owners of this business — for creating a great community space that has already added so much to our neighborhood.”

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

“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”

“A big shout out to my best latin place in Hoboken: Chango Kitchen. Traditional yummy latin dishes. Our faves are churrasco con chimichurri (skirt steakgrilled) and ropa vieja (shredded beef). My kids loved "alfajores with dulce de leche", "tres leches" and hot chocolate with when it's cold outside. Service is warm and friendly. We can visit the place multiple times and never get tired. #supportlocal”

“Was visiting Hoboken and looking for a good lunch spot close to Steven's University and came across Karma Kafe. Reviews were good and there were lots of people who took the time to rave so figured give it a shot. As always, reviews don't lie and ended up having a great lunch on a Sunday afternoon. We were able to walk in without a reservation on a Sunday afternoon without an issue and we were lucky. Pretty sure for future visits, would lock in a reservation to be on the safe side. Upon being seated, a serving of Papadum (Thin & crispy lentil flat bread) was served with tasty accompaniments was the perfect start as we scoured the menu. We started with The Veggie Sampler which was compromised of a Veggie samosa ( Stuffed crispy triangle pastry stufffed with potatoes and peas), Veggie Pakoras (Crisp veggies lightly battered in a chick pea flour and seasoning mix) and a Veggie Tikkis (Lightly breaded veggie cutlets seasoned with herbs and spices, served with mango chutney.) The serving size was decent and realized if we ate everything on the plate than we would be full and would have no room for the main course. The appatizers were delicious and a great way to prepare for lunch. Indian Food is usually always a hit for us due to the large vegertain options that are available to her as well as the non vegetarian options for me. Plenty of great choices to pick from making the decision difficult. I ordered Chicken Vindaloo (Chicken and potatoes in a spicy vindaloo sauce) When ordering, the waiter ensured I was ready for the heat from spice ranking it a 10 of 10. Will admit I love hot foods, and was apprehensive with his warnings but pushed forward. While the food was definitely spicey, not sure if I would rank as a 10 of 10 being some Indian dishes have been insanely hot. All in all, the meal was delicious and I thoroughly enjoyed it. My daughter ordered the Paneer Kashmiri (Cheese cubes and veggies in a mild saffron korma sauce) and was thoroughly satisfied. Both entrees were served with Basmati Rice and Dal. While not needed , we also order Garlic Nan which was incredibly delicious. The Nan was even better when dipped in the savory sauces that our meal came in. As you can imagine, there was so much food that we both took some home that made for another meal. Overall, we were both super satisfied and left stuffed. Definitely a great location that we plan to return to. The location was perfect and was a short walk from Stevens. The food quality was good, the service was great, and I found the value to be exceptional for its location.”

“Great place amazing burgers and really friendly staff! I love the chicken burgers and how many varieties of sauce they have. Seriously if your in Hoboken I’d come here for a burger over any other place”

“Had or best breakfast in USA here. Only a short walk from our hotel. Looks over the river to one of the best views of New York. The waitress (Casey) was lovely. Good coffee, breakfast combo was lovely with poached eggs and waffle.”

“Had to try this spot out. Picked up a hot pistachio latte with oat milk. It was absolutely delicious. This spot is a lot bigger than what I anticipated. Definitely need to try the saffron adeni next time I need a caffeine pick me up from shopping around SoHo.”

“This place has quickly become Hoboken’s best cafe among so many here. Not only are the drinks perfectly balanced and delicious, the food is also of exceptional quality for a cafe. You can clearly tell there’s a professional chef in the kitchen working his magic / curating the menu. Mile Square Cafe is a true neighborhood gem you have to visit when in Hoboken!”

“Have open time late in the night, abundant seats, restroom is clean, good internet connection, good for people who want to do some study/work at a relaxing environment. Coffee is also good”

“Really loved this experience, our server Val gave excellent recommendations the creativity in the drinks stood out all night. Music was on point between English and Spanish definitely a good vibe!”

“Very tasty food and excellent service. BYOB place for awareness. Limited menu but all of the choices we had were great : Caesar, Steak Tartare, Branzino, and short rib. Dessert was also very good.”

“Pure Green Juice Bar in Hoboken is absolutely amazing! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a clean, welcoming vibe and super friendly staff who genuinely care about your experience. The smoothies and juices are always fresh, flavorful, and made with high-quality ingredients—you can truly taste the difference.

Their menu has so many great options, whether you’re looking for a refreshing green juice, a protein-packed smoothie, or something to refuel after a workout. Everything is consistently delicious and perfectly blended.

If you’re in Hoboken and want something healthy, energizing, and satisfying, Pure Green Juice Bar is a must-visit. Highly recommend! 🌱🥤”

“Great food happily surprised Panner Butter Marsala and Naan was delicious and the Chicken Briyani did not disappoint. I ordered for pick up and everything was nicely packed.”

“Bahn pho is a must-visit restaurant that offers an entire menu to explore in different visits. Their peanut sauce is incredibly delicious, and their chicken wings are super crunchy. I recently tried their fry rice, and it was an absolute delight! It felt like I was in Vietnam or someone’s mom’s house.”

“We really enjoy our xmas parties there as the am ambiance is so beautiful the food is good too but this year the service wasn’t as good as other years. When we asked for specific drink our server said she will check but never came back to tell us. Before we left we stopped by the bar to ask for that specific beverage and they had it.”

“I ordered a 12 piece boneless wings and they gave me 13. I told them they put an extra wing in my order and the cashier took the extra wing from my plate with no gloves after he scratched his ass and gave it to the next customer. I love an establishment with honesty and integrity.

I also used GHOST2025 to get a free 6 piece boneless wings- feel free to use!”

“Love the fresh food options 🙌”

“First time there yesterday. Delic!! Staff was Fabulous!! Especially Ashley!!”

“Wonderful customer service and the place was spotless! I had the biscoff cookie butter cruffin and it was to die for. The way the croissant bottom and muffin topped was paired with a biscoff filling inside was incredible. I am still craving for another one! The chicken salad sandwich was amazing as well. I am not one for cranberry mixed in with my chicken salad, but it enhanced the flavor.”
