25 Best American Restaurants in Hoboken

“This is my second time to Dear Maud when visiting Hoboken. Both times I would say the dining room is very loud. The walls are made of brick, I believe and so nothing insulates the sound. The service in the bar was quick, but slightly impersonal. No one was unfriendly which is good, but it was about turnover. The happy hour menu is generous. I would definitely order the $7 pizza every time. The Manhattan I ordered off- menu was delicious. The lychee martini was on the sweeter side, but it was good. The short rib fried rice was delicious but I was not a fan of the sweet teriyaki sauce drizzled on top. Beware of the red peppers on top because those are spicy. The steak tips were really good and tender. I would go here next time only if I don’t want to walk very far from where I’m staying and if I want some decent drinks. It’s pretty hard to hold a conversation in this restaurant unless you’re speaking louder than you normally would. Great location though.“

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

“Had a great experience at Martha’s. The food was excellent, especially the Steak Frites and Crispy Rhode Island Calamari, and everything came out well-prepared and flavorful. Arif was an excellent server. professional, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. His service made the meal even better. I would definitely recommend Martha’s and look forward to returning.“

“Yzabelle is absolutely amazing From the minute we came in until we left it was a great ambiance. This is our second time here the food and service is always absolutely amazing. We will definitely be back again and hopefully we can get the same waitress. By the way, the mussels in the white wine sauce to die for“

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

“try the dumplings! so good“

“I can’t say enough about the delicious, elevated menu created by Chef Elliot Malsky at Flour, paired with genuinely delightful service. It’s a perfect spot for date night, with pastas that absolutely won’t disappoint. I especially loved the spicy Caesar salad, hamachi crudo, and cavatelli with lamb. The thoughtful flavor pairings play beautifully together, and the intimate atmosphere makes the whole experience so special. Five stars all around!“

“Went here for dinner as I have walked passed it a ton of times and I was hoping it would be good. I got the Fat Darrell and it was incredible. Definitely coming back here AND they’re open until 3am on the weekend so I will definitely be getting this when I’m hammered walking home.“

“Never disappointed when we eat here. My boys and I will try something different every time we come but my husband loves the Garlic and Oil Pasta and he gets it every time.(No protein added since he says it spoils it.) I do believe his heart would be broken 💔if it ever comes off of the menu.“

“Very intimate vibes. I took my partner for his birthday. We ordered a bottle of wine, the wild boar ragu and cacio e Pepe. My partner didn’t enjoy his cacio e pepe as much. I loved the wild boar ragu, the flavor was on point. Arancini were pretty good too. Overall we had a good time.“

“Highly recommend this restaurant!“

“You can have a good time here if you accept the place for what it is.

A decent bar near a college.

The vibes have been frat bro and adults who still think they’re in frats each time I’ve been.

That being said, staffs always been nice and it does have a good social atmosphere where you can meet people / make new friends if you want.

Would recommend giving it a try and seeing if it’s for you.“

“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!“

“Our “go to” when visiting Hoboken from out of town is Leo’s Grandevous. Since we had already eaten there this trip, we sought out a new restaurant last Saturday (12/27/25). Very glad we found Zach’s and we’ve added it to our “must visit” list. The restaurant has a great comfortable feel. The staff is welcoming, friendly, and professional, and the meal was 5 Star. Highly recommend Zach’s.“
