About The Golden Cicada

The Golden Cicada is a unique spot in the heart of Jersey City, just a short walk from the Grove Street Path station. The staff are lovely, and the outdoor space is a main attraction with lots of seating and room for children to run around. The beyond beef nachos are a must-try, and there are many vegetarian options available, though vegan options require customization. On Thursdays, guests can enjoy karaoke nights in a fun atmosphere with fair-priced drinks. While the service is great, parking can be a challenge, especially on weekends. The outdoor seating is popular, and the Cajun Shrimp and Guacamole, along with the Fried Shrimp, received mixed reviews, but the Shrimp Skewers and Buffalo Cauliflower appetizer were noted as good. The indoor bar can be quiet, but the outdoor beer garden offers a lively experience. Overall, The Golden Cicada is a great place for food and drinks, but visitors are advised to arrive earlier to enjoy the full menu.
