33 Best Burger Restaurants in Jersey City

“I stopped by Holy Burger for dinner and honestly this place exceeded expectations. The burgers were cooked perfectly with crispy edges and still juicy inside, you can tell they use fresh products and is made to order. I ordered the double smash onion burger combo and got a milk shake

Fries came out hot and seasoned well, not greasy, and the portions were generous. The milkshake was thick and tasted made-to-order, not syrupy like most fast food spots.

The staff was friendly and the food came out fast even though it was busy, which tells me the kitchen runs efficiently. The dining area was clean and well maintained, and it felt comfortable to sit and eat instead of just grabbing takeout.

This is definitely a good spot for late night food or a quick lunch. Compared to other burger places nearby, the quality here feels closer to a sit-down burger restaurant but at fast-casual speed.

Will definitely be coming back to try more of the menu.“

“The burgers are fresh and delicious. The service is fast and polite. Definitely my go to place for burgers and amazing fries!“

“Jersey City's finest! best sliders anywhere! Classic!“

“Newly opened, nice spot to grab a burger and icecream, street parking... nice little dinning area to eat and chat... I was greeted upon entering, even though a number of people was inside. I tried a few cream flavors before I choose my choice. 10/10 Must try“

“We had the Dark side of the Roo burger, & the Bison burger & were very satisfied with both. They were delicious, we'll definitely be back to try some of your other dishes“

“Left Bank is what it is supposed to be. Nothing more and definitely nothing less. \nWe were in the mood for wings and a burger and that is exactly what we got. Added chilli cheese fries and their famous Chopped Cheese.\nEven though it was very early so there wasn't many people there the staff immediately made us feel like home. They were very friendly, attentive and efficient.\nThe quality of the food was excellent. Everything properly made, simple... perfect! They don't try to disguise anything nor make it fancier than it should be. Just a place where you can eat delicious buffalo wings and a tasty burger with all the works.\nThe chilli cheese fries were excellent too. With the right amount of jalapenos, cheese, bacon...\nIf you're around and wanna try a new place to watch a game do consider Left Bank, you won't regret it.“

“fire on god nd em. worth it“

“The food here is always so fresh and delicious. I haven't had a single meal that I didn't love. The La Exotica and La Consentida are my favorite menu items right now, but the tacos are also really good. I still need to try a lot of other things on the menu. The manager, the chef and the entire team are amazing people, super friendly and hard working. The kitchen, which is open to the dining area, is always immaculate. It reminds me of the really good hole in the wall restaurants I used to go to when I lived in Astoria, Queens. I cannot say enough good things about this spot... Probably my favorite addition to the area in my 2 years living here!“

“Good atmosphere and great service.“

“Based on my experience there, I loved it but I’m hesitant to give five stars cause I only had the ribeye cheesesteak which may be one of the best cheesesteaks I’ve had out in NJ in all seriousness. Felt a little pricey but so does everything else these days. Even then, the cheesesteak was worth every cent. Highly recommended.“

“On vacation as a joke, we searched for "the worst bar near me" which led us to this amazing little place. We had the absolute best food! The waitstaff was attentive, fun, and helpful. Prices & portions were fair. The whole vibe of the area was low-key & pleasant with the dog-friendly patio, next door local shops, and other patrons. If these Wisconsintes find ourselves in Jersey City again, we will absolutely make a dedicated return to the Wurstbar!“

“Great customer service every time I visit. My banana boat be xtra sloppy like I asked them to make it. DELICIOUS ����������������������....the flavor slushies ������“

“This spot absolutely slaps. The burgers and the mac n cheese with a beer on a weekday after work... SO GOOD! I even get delivery and the food is just as good as when u sit and get it in house. The burgers are so fresh every time so worth it!!!“

“We just moved to the area and have already gotten this place 2-3 times!!!

Music, service, drinks, and food are all 10/10! Everything is very affordable. Parking isn’t great, but where is in NJ? The inside is a little small, but it truly just feels more intimate. Victoria was so attentive and we will definitely be back asap!“

“If haven’t yet tried this place you MUST do so cause it’s sooooo good… omg it’s JERSEY CITY best wings place to go to…. DONT MISS OUT!!!
They even started selling SEAFOOD BOILS!!!! OMG!!! It can’t get any better… Thank you for coming into our community…“

“I recently visited this restaurant, and it was truly amazing from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious—full of flavor, beautifully presented, and clearly made with care. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive without being overbearing.I personally like Philly cheesecake wings and zinger sandwich, last but not least ice cream was delicious can’t wait to go back again….cheers“

“This place is all misguided hype. It tasted very bland and the tender was dry in the slider. The medium heat level didn't really have any heat. Maybe that's where I messed up but it didn't have much flavor and was dry. Howlin Rays is much better than this place, I won't be back.“

“Honestly the best original in town they haven't changed not one thing ORIGINAL FOR ME ALL DAY ❣️❣️❣️❣️ It's always a pleasure & hospitality is awesome. I truly thank you for not changing A THING ? “

“A scale of one to 10 I give a 10 out of 10 & The service here is wonderful. The food is fantastic even though this is not the first time eating at Shake . However, this is the very first time eating Shake shack in downtown Jersey City. I will come back again either by myself or with somebody else.“

We had an amazing waiter and were seated very quickly. The food came out hot and was prepared exactly to my liking. The drinks were phenomenal, and our waiter was respectful, punctual, and very professional. Overall, an excellent dining experience“

“Meatiest wings I’ve ever had !!! Delicious!!! 10 out of 10 !!! Thank you !!“

“Pretty Good, located right off a main highway. I stop by anytime I’m in NJ, close to the Hotel in Newark. First time, I stopped in the Owner was there and had GREAT conversation, service and customer service and gave me a military discount. The second time I stopped in, owner was not there and the service wasn’t as pleasant. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t the same. The Caucasian clerk told me I couldn’t get a military discount because he’s not the owner. Then proceeded to talk about Burger King and other fast food chains not giving discounts. The food didn’t taste as good the second time probably because the experience was icky.“

“Morning, noon, and night, always a ton of fun. Stopped by for breakfast this morning and what a deal. Egg sandwich on a roll with sausage for $8?! Beautiful.

Great indoor/outdoor spot with plenty of doggos enjoying the sun. They also have a great happy hour and lunch/dinner menu from Lighthorse Tavern.“

“The owner or guy at the front was a pleasure to meet and clearly understands the benefit of eye contact and customer service. I ordered the cheese steak. The sandwich itself was juicy, flavorful and nice sized for the price. My issue is I wish they would wrap the sandwich in parchment paper cut in half and then wrap in the foil wrapper. The sandwich is juicy but sloppy and drips everywhere. If it were wrapped better you could enjoy the sandwich like a gentleman. Enjoyed overall and on another note I give this brother big respect. He employs all black men. And as one I love seeing that. Respect brother!“

“Five before some guy who manages the restaurant was making really bad food. Since 5 months I am eating food from here and I love the biriyani and all Indian food because New management is now running the restaurant and she cooks awesome food. I would highly recommend anybody to try Daniel KTR Biryani and curry. I love it and is waiting for have the goat curry and biriyani especially.“

“I HONESTLY was coming here to write a bad review because of the horrible service I received lastnight from the girl who looked HORRIBLE & gave me horrible service to match until I gained attention from from the FRYGUY who I totally misjudged at first because of the tattoo on his face silly me but he absolutely helped & made sure my order was correct up untill then I was feeling ignored but he made sure that I was being taken care of & actually smiled & wished me well while waiting i watched him help & give everyone else the same great service & also work 3 different places even cashier all while others stood at one position this review is to APPRECIATE the FRYGUY I happen to work in the restaurant field myself so I really appreciate great service he totally saved a bad review to a good one shoutout the FRYGUY :)“

“Great local deli with a great hot menu with many worthwhile options for tradesmen like myself… Although this spot is generally swamped with a mix of teenagers and people from the courts across the street it’s great to see an honorable place of business that values your patronage. I had a debit card transaction mistakenly declined to an account that was well funded so I paid quietly using another card… While leaving I noticed the initial declined transaction was pending against my account.. I politely spoke to the owner and he said let’s give it a day or so for the resolution with the banks.. He assured me it would be handled and honored.. After ~ 5 days and a weekend past before that initial declined transaction was paid.. I was unsure whether the owner 1) would remember this inconvenience & 2) whether he’d stand buy his word and provide me with a lunch I had already paid for,, As I came inside he greeted me very kindly and asked if the transaction had actually gone through as it had. He smiled and said then we will provide you lunch per gratis today.. I even offered to show him proof and he quickly dismissed it as a slight insult.. It’s a pleasure to spend my hard earned money with earnest, trustworthy and grateful ownership such as this.. I highly recommend this extremely reputable honest establishment… 👍🏽

Ps the mixed gyro combo is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING 💯“

“Yummy burgers and very nice cozy,neat place.“

“The new management is killing it. The IHOP in Jersey City is not the sort of place one expects to inspire genuine culinary admiration, and yet it does exactly that.

From the moment I stepped inside, there was a sense of well-orchestrated efficiency that bordered on elegance. The dining room hummed with energy, but never chaos. Service was immediate, warm, and most impressively attentive without becoming intrusive. It set the tone for what would become a surprisingly memorable meal.

In a dining landscape that often chases novelty, this IHOP succeeds by elevating familiarity. It delivers comfort food with precision and care, an experience that, while unexpected, is entirely welcome.“

“The staff here are really nice, and that makes this one of the best McD around here. Though this is kinda of a smaller place with fewer seats than other ones in and around Jersey City, this has a better vibe and is always cleaner and nice, too. I do recommend this! It's worth checking out if you plan to have McD today!!“

“New managers** Food is hot and fresh ..“
