“A gem in the neighbourhood. A friend and I were visiting Jersey City from South Africa and NDP was just down the road from our B&B. We had the most wonderful dinner there, with James, the owner explaining how he and his wife started the little restaurant. The food was exceptional and we were able to order a bottle of wine from a winery close by, which was delivered in minutes. Absolutely worth a visit!“
“Went for dinner and had a great time. Ordered a cocktail that was similar to a Moscow Mule which was nice and refreshing. We had the Deviled Eggs and Sticky wings which were both delicious. For our main, the Pasta Ragu, Broccolini and Truffle Waffle fries - all delicious. The servers seemed a bit too busy and we had to look for them a few times but I'd definitely recommend it for a nice casual dinner.“
“Lovely little place. We tend to go with a party of 6 to 8 and never ever felt rushed or ignored. The team is nothing but welcoming. We love the menu the service and ambiance. Great job staying reasonable in price compared to NYC. Your facility is lovely. Also, the drink menu is high quality wines and whiskeys and ports. Also good for couples.“
“Ahh! Such a beautiful date night at Cellar 335. Advance reservations are necessary to ensure that you get a table. We went on a Saturday night and the place was packed. The restaurant is in the basement and has a speakeasy vibe to it.The food and the drinks were unique and delicious. For food, we tried the avocado fried rice (customized without egg), the crispy tofu bao buns and the spicy cornbread - the portion sizes were great too. For drinks we had Shipwrecked (the best!), Pole star and a spicy drink. They did not have many of the cocktails on the menu so best check with them before you decide on one. Definitely ask for the dessert menu - we tried the passion fruit panna cotta and it was the best way to end the meal!Our hostess, Alli was very nice and friendly. This restaurant is expensive, but definitely worth a visit for the lovely ambience and the great food/drinks.Vegetarian options: There are some great vegetarian options available and a few others can be customised and be made vegetarian.“
“First of all, let me make sure you guys understand that I’m a 29 year Brooklyn native. Not knowing anything about southern cuisine I strolled into Krewe as I explored Jersey City. Before even getting through the doors I’m greeted by calming music leading me into an eye catching environment filled with tasteful art along with festive decorations.Smiles all around taking me to my seat as my stomach began to growl with anticipation. I’m a heavy eater of chicken so I went with the Chicken Po Boy….didn’t regret a thing. The south cut up chicken thigh overflowing out of my sandwich was a sight to see and the juiciness left my tastebuds back flipping. Water for my beverage as I’m a simple man. On a reccomendation I tried the Grit Fries - never knowing what grits truly were. To my surprise the delicious crispy crunchy outer layer was nothing compared to the soft warm cloud in the middle. I was sold, sandwich so flavorful along with a side of deep fried heaven - what more can I ask for from my new lunch spot.Service was amazing as people were warm and friendly. Cooks did an amazing job and the food was complimented by a very clean and vibrant environment. You’ll definitely catch me there again!“
“Reminds me of a five guys, but better since it's locally owned :) Think fast food with a small step above - they use fresh (not frozen) chicken breast for the tenders and serve poutine (aka disco fries but the cheese curds are served warm in the gravy vs on the fries).Their veg options were also great.Our new fave local burger joint!“
“This place has a lot of place inside to sit and also has an outdoor place as well.Overall good atmosphere and party vibe, good to hang out with friends.They can do better with bar and kitchen orders where you have a stand in 2 long queues to order food and drinks“
“I love White Star! I have been here quite a few times to grab drinks or get dinner. My all-time favorite and repeat order is their vegetarian burger, salad and fries! It’s so delicious!! You cannot miss it! Highly recommend this place if you’re in the neighborhood.“
“We love going to Subia’s! We’ve been here a few times and it’ll probably be one of our weekend brunch go-to spots. Subia’s is definitely the best vegan brunch spot in New Jersey! The food is so delicious!! I love the triple decker sandwich and the blt with cheese sandwich. The breakfast wrap is also so flavourful.The staff are so friendly and nice, which makes for a great experience all around.I’m excited to try other menu items! They have a lot on their menu, more than I expected for a cafe, but everything we’ve tried so far has been great.Vegetarian options: Menu is all veganDietary restrictions: Gluten-free options“
“Do you love crepes? This is a place you cannot, CANNOT miss visiting if you do!! Crepe guru has uh-mazing to-die-for crepe options to choose from—both savory and sweet! I love their food because I have tried multiple crepes here! Fabulous and so flavorful!! And it can’t get better than ending a savory treat with a sweet one! The Nutella crepe is sinful in the truest sense! Makes me drool just thinking about it!MUST TRY if you’re in Jersey City or around the place!!Its a very small place. So I have always done take-aways because even finding parking here can be hard.“
“UPDATED 3/19/24 PM:The manager reached out and was fantastic about making this right. He said he’s investing time into improving their consistency and offered to buy me dinner to test their improvements later on. Give these guys a shot, they’re good people and do right by their customers.(2 stars) ORIGINAL 3/19/24 AM:I hate to do this but these guys just can’t get out of their own way. We order from here all the time - it’s convenient and generally has healthy options - but they cannot ever get it right. They are so inconsistent - I can’t remember the last time we didn’t have an issue with an order. Yesterday was my tipping point, they completely left out an item and my chicken came undercooked. I called numerous times to get a refund on those two items and was met with a “let me talk to my manager” with no follow up. Can’t get anything through their delivery app either.A few weeks ago we got two island bowls with undercooked hard rice.The food is good, they just aren’t consistent at all. We’d order every night from here if they could perform consistently.“
“Overall experience was awesome! Ret and the gentleman who was shadowing were both extremely professional, courteous, and polite. They helped my wife with her decision on dinner and made it very easy for us to enjoy our anniversary. Food was delicious as well.“
“Definitely sit outside if you can! Even if it's cold. The heaters work well enough that you don't need a jacket. Our server Marisa took great care of us. She had great menu knowledge and was friendly and quick. Everything we ate was delicious. I wish the French toast could come in a half portion, though :)“
“What a fun bar! We came on a Tuesday around 9:45 just before they stopped serving food. We played darts, doted on a pup, and browsed the jukebox while waiting for our food. The Nintendo was occupied this time, but the folks playing it seemed like they were having fun. Our impossible burger was impressive--cooked perfectly and served with ultra fresh veggies. I mean that onion was CRISP. And the sauce on the honey butter Brussels could be eaten by itself with a spoon.“
“Spontaneous brunch over the weekend in JC - came across Skinner's Loft on Google Maps actually. Downstairs feels like an old bar, dark wood long bar, little natural light, old-world type of bar. However we were seated upstairs in a beautiful high-ceiling space, brick walls with lots of light, comfy seats, even a working fireplace with a fire in it. Good ambiance. Service was prompt and attentive. I had the eggs Florentine which were done just about right, and my companion had the vegan cauliflower sandwich, which was also enjoyable. Good sized portions and we didn't leave hungry. Coffee and water was refilled - again very attentive service. Apparently they rent out the space for events, so something to keep in mind in JC.“
“A 2-minute walk from my previous home, this was a go-to place for lavish weekend brunches. They have an extensive menu with absolutely beautiful food and interior. My picks were their salads, fries, pancakes, desserts, soups, avocado toast, fish and so much more!! Couldn’t stop eating here ever! Have been to White Horse so many times and still look forward to returning! Totally recommend!“
“Today was my very first time coming here but not my last! Busy place but seated very quickly, our server Marina was very pleasant & attentive. I ordered the steak & eggs which came with rye bread and french fries but I opted for the homemade onion rings.. YUMMY!!? The music was good as well as the drinks. The only thing I didn't like was that the tables were super close together (you can hear the next person's conversation close) but other than that no complaints!! ??“
“I came for brunch but ordered off of the dinner menu. I had the bluepoint oysters, the octopus, ribeye steak with spinach, and my friend had the steak salad off of the brunch menu. The place was okay. I did enjoy my lavender lemon drop martini. We had Tira misu and cheesecake for dessert. There was nothing extraordinary about the food. It was tasty, and I think it's a cute brunch maybe lunch spot, but there was nothing amazing that stood out.“
“Casual brunch spot in Jersey City. The only place I could find that opened before 11AM. I think the atmosphere is better when it’s warm and you can sit outside.Place doesn’t really have any character, but the food was very good. They have brunch drink specials for $5 or $10 for a double.My friend and I both ordered Prosecco and chicken n waffles. Prosecco was $12/glass.Food was excellent. They also brought us some kind of muffin with jam which was a nice touch.“
“TOP NOTCH!!!!We had a delicious meal and wonderful service. We were at the Bridal Market, staying at the Hyatt Regency, and this place was a super quick walk for SUPER good food and dining!!! I love the HG, but their breakfast prices were unreasonable. At City Diner, the prices are perfectly fine! Atmosphere was stellar, food was perfect, and THE CHEESECAKE was AMAZING, best I have had in years!!! Thank you for a great breakfast!!!“
“The ambiance is excellent, providing a very homey atmosphere. The staff was swift with providing service. The breakfast burrito was divine. Although there's no meat in it, I was more than satisfied with the ingredients included.The fruit on the side was fresh and delicious, as the coffee.“
“Absolutely fabulous food, but maybe we came on an off day, because wait times after sitting down were pretty crazy long. We had a reservation but waited about 30 minutes to have our order taken. Food took quite a while too, but once we received it, it was absolutely delicious. Eggs Benedict 10/10, fresh ingredients. French toast 9/10, fantastic but not filling. Coffee was fab too.“
“Old school as it gets! Some of the best home cooked food and soups in the tri state areaThere is nothing fancy about AstorIt is what it isOwners that care and treat you like familyAmazing prices tooCash only which sucks but againIt is what it is!Get the chicken cutlet-amazing“
“This restaurant is very welcoming not to mention overall delicious. The customer service is extremely friendly with bilingual staff for English speakers, dine in with a tv and a beautiful cultural environment. The food is always speedily prepared and top notch Mexican cuisine. I love this place, I love the workers and how friendly they are, I love the food. 10/10Kid-friendliness: High chairs provided and they are so sweet to my daughter she smiles every time she sees the owner :)“
“Monday-Friday between 1130-1pm there will be tons of children but only because the kids prefer his food over the schools or their own food. He’s very popular around that time so it’s best to place an order online or just wait before or after those times. I have been coming here for 5+ years. It’s my favorite local breakfast spot. Mr B is always happy to adjust or make accommodations. It feels like family. Thank you ? for feeding me my family and all the kids from the high school.“
“When you hear "perfect neighborhood bar" what do you think of? Because I think of unfussy food, strong drinks, reasonable prices, and a welcoming atmosphere. Oh look at that, Brightside Tavern checks all 4 boxes.What's that? Entertainment (jazz night, open mic, karaoke) multiple nights a week? Sports on TVs all around the 360-degree bar? Brunch every day from 9-4? Happy hour ever weekday from 3-7? Kitchen open late (I mean LATE)? Music loud enough to take the edge of life off but not loud enough to make it impossible to talk? The owner (Tommy 2 Scoops) makes an effort to know and welcome everyone who visits? Everyone is welcome as long as you're good to each other?You probably get the idea by now. I can't think of one thing this bar doesn't make convenient. The Brightside Tavern might be Jersey City's best neighborhood bar. You don't need a reason or an excuse to go here, just do it.“
“Nestled on Jersey City's waterfront, Lokal Eatery boasts unparalleled views of the Manhattan skyline, making it a must-visit for both locals and Manhattanites alike. Conveniently located near major transit hubs, it's the perfect spot to indulge in exceptional cuisine while soaking in the breathtaking scenery.Complementing the exceptional cuisine is a carefully curated wine list, featuring a selection of both local and international varietals, as well as handcrafted cocktails that are as beautiful as they are delicious.For starters, indulge in the crispy calamari or the artisanal cheese board, perfect for sharing with friends or savoring solo. For the main course, options abound, from mouthwatering steaks and fresh seafood to inventive vegetarian creations. Be sure to save room for dessert, as Lokal's sweet treats are not to be missed.Vegetarian options: Shishito PeppersRoasted CauliflowerTruffle FriesMac & CheeseBruschetta Trio“
“best burger in downtown jc! staff is friendly and love it when they have the outdoor seating open. my go to for comfort and casual. also, love that they are accomdating to allergiesDietary restrictions: they have gluten free bunsKid-friendliness: always families with kids during the day“
“This place was so great. We went for the brunch. We had Francis as our server. He was awesome. Actually the hospitality was S-Tier (think one-punch man anime). The food was fantastic. The burnt ends (starter) just melt in ur mouth. Chris, one of the owners came by and just added to the level of the hospitality. We were well cared for. We had a round of the boots and bones peanut butter whiskey shots. Wow...that was really nice. Over all we had a great time, the food was reasonably priced and delicious, and the drinks were all worth it. We will definitely be back. Oh and they have Deviled Eggs on the menu (well it's important to me anyway ?). I'll be trying those Monday. ☺️“
“Hosted my proposal/engagement party here and it was amazing. Carmela was absolutely fantastic the entire way through. So helpful and receptive to executing my vision. Very responsive both through email and phone call. All of my guests had a great time, enjoyed the food and drinks. Bar tenders, servers, Maitre D were all super nice and pleasant. Would 1000% recommend to anyone for any event!“
“We stopped in after a show late on a Tuesday. The bartender was very welcoming, explained the menu well, and made awesome drinks. Other folks seemed to be regulars based on their interactions with each other and staff. Decor is a mix of sports bar and dive bar. We weren't expecting the spicy veggie quesadilla to have buffalo sauce--a very midwestern touch“
“I go to this place from time to time to have breakfast and i gotta say its great! The food here is delicious...they have a variety of breakfast platters that would really satisfy any customer. The service is good, only thing is that it gets packed after that early morning school rush. But other than that i really dont have any complaints. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to get great breakfast options at a great price!“
“Shockingly delicious food! Good bread is a dead giveaway of good food! From the duck paté to that delicious saffron sauce in the seafood broth. The food was excellent! The Coq au Vin is one of the best I've had! Lily was a great hostess!“
“We had our wedding after party here and it was perfect! The space was a great size (we had about 75 people), the food and drink were delicious (and reasonably priced), and everyone had the best time. Their team even took the extra step to put flowers along the bar and tables to make it festive and beautiful, which we really appreciated, and let us bring our own DJ. Highly recommend if you're looking for a chill, semi-private event space in JC.“
“we ordered fish & chips and two orders of wings as well as chicken nuggets. all of that food was prepared surprisingly fast, and everything was delicious. the chips were my favorite. i do think the fish could use some old bay or something, but the texture was great. that won't stop us from going back :)“
“Whenever I come home to JC, I'll be at Cherry's ? to satisfy my Fish and Grits fix. Perfectly fried, grits are the right thickness, grabbed an Uptown and now I forsee a nap in my immediate future. Good looks Trav! I travel alot of places, but the best place is always home.“
“This location of Dorrian's Red Hand is a great spot to get bar food. The bar area looked nice and plenty of seating it seemed. I did not sit in the restaurant to enjoy my food. I did take out instead. I got a grilled chicken sandwich with fries. I was pleasantly surprised on how good this sandwhich was. My waitress who took my order was nice. It also looks like this location has comedy shows. There is a private room I saw with posters up of the upcoming shows.“
“I love this place so, so much. The food is always consistently great, except for the one time one dish was a little overcooked and the bartender/wait staff surreptitiously removed it from our bill when my date and I had only a softly spoken conversation with each other about it (great service). The cocktails are great, too, like really great. The back heated/covered patio is super cute.There are about six really great bar/restaurants I've discovered in JC, and Dullboy is near the top of that last.“
