I always end up coming here for drinks with my friends, but recently we came here for brunch. Their brunch menu is pretty good with a large variety. I had a burger which was massive! My friends loved everything they ordered as well. My only complaint was it was so hot inside we had to leave to drink somewhere else. We couldn't take it anymore!
The location is second to none. You are literally overlooking NYC and are about 20 feet from the Hudson River.
That being said the food is nothing to write home about. The burgers are ok with a few different choices but it is not the best burger I have had in Hoboken. The beer selection is ok as well. There are better places in Hoboken but there are also a lot worse ones.
They get extra points for having the windows open up so you can enjoy the nice weather.
Came here at 10:15 on a Thursday and the kitchen was closed and they were pretty much closing up. When I called at 8 to find out what time they were going to serve until he told me 1130-12. i would not have made the trek over and would have gone elsewhere.
When I walked in, the server pretty much avoided all eye contact and they were already stacking the chairs.
I have been to the Ainsworth in the city, both of them and they are by far better than this place. I am sorry to say this location does not embody anybody the key components that make the other locations successful.
I came here for a relaxed work dinner with about 9 colleagues. I was not super impressed with the food here, but they did have a wide variety of fun burger combinations and definitely had space to accommodate a large group.
To start, we ordered a little of everything. The buffalo cauliflower was my favorite and if you ever come here, you have to try it!! They also had really good tuna tartare, and the chips that they served it were killer too. As my main course, I had the burrata burger. It was only okay. The bottom of the burger was really soggy which made it hard to eat cleanly. The burrata itself was good, and I actually ended up eating just that and not the burger/bun.
Half of the group ordered the mac and cheese burger, and they seemed overall happy with their choice but it was a bit heavy. Definitely has a fun bar vibe, and bar food. I just wasn't impressed in the sit down dinner aspect of it but would come back to watch a game or grab a few drinks on a Sunday!
I came here on a Saturday night to meet some friends who were in town visiting! It was a great choice! For a Hoboken bar on a Saturday night it was crowded but not like we couldn't share in conversation. They do not have bud light… And the bar tender was super slow and not very friendly…
I was excited to get a seat at the bar when we first arrived, but still waited 15 mins for a drink. Even when I would get to order multiple times she came back without one of drinks.
I enjoyed the ambiance and casualness of the place.
Great experience, awesome lunch menu.
Got 2 lovely shrimp tacos and a pretty large salad all for $12?!?!.
Awesome deal, and got to watch Portugal v Hungary and Iceland v Austria.
And i ordered lovely oysters on the half shell.
Great deal, great option for lunch
GREAT view!!
My sisters and I stopped in here for lunch on a Friday. The place was pretty dead but we were there during that awkward time between lunch and dinner. We each went with a lunch special (half salad and half sandwich) for under $13.
My burger was simple, but good and I really enjoyed the kale Caesar salad. My sisters were happy with their shrimp tacos and BLT. The fries were very good too, but perhaps just a bit too salty.
Our server was also friendly and helpful, until we wanted the check, at which point he/she was nowhere to be found.
My only gripe is that they should probably lower the cocktail prices during the day if they want to encourage people to order them. It's kind of silly that one drink is more expensive than the whole lunch special.
Other than that, parking it what you'd expect. Hopefully you're lucky enough to get a meter spot on Sinatra Drive.
A larger group of friends and I came in here for brunch today after hearing about it from some Hoboken locals. Unfortunately, this was not a stellar brunch experience. The menu was very small and there weren't any drink specials. We ended up getting 4 liter type pitchers of mimosas, which alone was $80. With so few options, our table primarily ordered the chorizo eggs benedict, with the others getting the ham and cheese omelette and a cesar salad. It was OK, but really nothing to write home about for $15.
Service was OK as well. Our waitress was nice, but drinks came out slowly and we were given some dirty glasses with our drinks. Decor is also interesting to say the least. It has a cute, rustic vibe, but there are TVs everywhere, making it more like a sports bar vibe. For brunch, it just wasn't really the spot we had in mind.
I'd be interested to see how their lunch/dinner food is, but I won't be back for brunch.
