We stopped in for lunch and had an enjoyable meal.
Décor: It's a bar, there's not much more to it than that. However, they have a handful of tables inside and outside and even have a large window that they open on nice days (so you can sit inside be feel like you're outside). Overall, it's pretty dark inside but that just makes it easier to see the bunch of TVs they have that are showing any kind of sporting event on at the time. The actual bar itself is pretty sizable and runs the length of the front room.
Bathroom: unknown
Staff: Our waitress was nice and kept our water glasses full almost the entire time.
Food: We just had lunch, so no drinks. But many others were boozing away during Sunday brunch. We started with the Lobster and Corn Chowder (yum!) and then had a salad and wings. Everything was very tasty, the only thing is that I wish the wings were a bit hotter (temperature wise).
Value: The prices are right about what we expected.
This is a solid place that I'd come back to again for drinks or some more food (their menu looks pretty solid).
We like this place. To be honest, I liked it better as Rogo's way back when, but it is still a solid place. The waiters and bartenders and even bouncers are nice and friendly and attentive, it has decent chairs and booths that are comfortable to hang out in and watch the game, and the food is actually really good. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is the prices are really high. A sandwich wrap with fries can set you back like $14, which is kind of steep compared to other places and other bars/grills in Hoboken. So look for their specials and happy hours, and save a buck. Decent brunch too. They are also usually really cold inside, regardless of the season, so be prepared.
Our favorites are: Chicken Quesadilla, Alyssa's Everyday Chicken Wrap, and Onion Rings (super crispy, greasy, and delicious)…and Yuengling 🙂
The Stevens college crew used to dominate this place, but now it is much more hipster/yuppie Hoboken types, which is actually better (weird to say).
Service is fast and attentive, they bring you water right away without having to ask which is nice, and don't mind filling it up versus other places that expect you to only drink alcohol the whole time. If you stay hydrated with water, you actually drink and spend more, so good job Mikie Squared!
I will continue to be a regular here.
I don't know what happened to the food here, but it's gone downhill since my last visit about a year ago. I ordered a buffalo chicken salad that came out like flying saucers on a plate. I won't get too detailed about what happened next, but I took two bites and left shortly after. I really liked this spot and hope it was just an off night for their kitchen.
I've always liked Mikie Squared, and have a special appreciation for it's small town bar atmosphere. It's different than most of the bars in Hoboken, and has a way of keeping friendly clientele absent of roid rages after a couple of beers. The staff is the likely reason; they are always smiling.
Our waiter tonight was no exception to my previous experiences, and despite coming in for a few drinks, he was awesome and made us feel right at home. He made the suggestions of a chocolate peanut butter shots to my wife, and she loved them. I appreciated the selection of beers and loathed my punkin ale that tasted like pumkin.
This is always a spot on bar to go to.
My boyfriend and I came to Mikie Squared for two reasons: one, because on Thursdays, martinis are half priced and two, because my boyfriend's roommate works there now. That being said, Mikie Squared did not disappoint, and I will certainly be back, especially for their Wednesday trivia night.
Though it was martini mania, my boyfriend and I got a strawberry margarita and a Blue Moon as our first drinks (Blue Moon was also on sale and my boyfriend is a big beer drinker). My strawberry marg wasn't too sweet or overflowing with alcohol — perfect for a Thursday night meal. Later, my boyfriend ordered the mango martini (don't judge him) and it was definitely mango-y, but in a good way. Being the girl I am, I enjoyed the fruity taste that masked the overwhelming taste of alcohol.
Instead of ordering two entrees, my boyfriend and I decided to split three appetizers — the buffalo calamari, the tomato and mozzarella salad and the spinach and artichoke dip. Let me just say now that each of these appetizers was incredible. The mozzarella at Mikie Squared is homemade, and you can taste the effort put into making it. The buffalo calamari is also a unique spin on regular fried calamari; combined with the creamy dipping sauce they provide, this was by far one of the best appetizers I've ever had — especially since as a pescetarian, I never get to eat buffalo wings and this is a great substitute.
The best part about our experience was that the staff was friendly (especially since we knew some of them) and I always felt like we were being paid attention to — our water cups NEVER went dry. When the bill came out, I was surprised that three drinks and three appetizers came out to under $50, but in a good way. I love Mikie Squared and I can't wait to go back.
Great bar food. Best sangria in town. Perfect place to meet up with some friends before going out to get some food and drinks.
I have been here for brunch as well and it was delicious. The french toast are amazing.
Mikies prides itself on making fresh upscale bar food and you can tell. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting Hoboken.
I always seem to give businesses second chances even when they don't deserve it- and I've learned the hard way why you shouldn't through Mikie Squared. The worst part is that I used to LOVE this place- but as I mentioned in my previous review, the prices have skyrocketed and it seems that the customer service has plummeted.
Since I love their chicken caesar wrap so much, I randomly will still order from here during the lunch prices. Last week, I had a huge craving for this wrap and ordered on seamless. The wait time was 45-60 minutes, totally understandable especially with the snow. 60 minutes passed by, an hour and a half, and at almost the two hour mark, I called to see what what going on. The girl on the phone said she would check on my order and when she returned, she mentioned that her shift had just started and the girl before her "forgot to put in my order and it was never made", she said she could "rush" it and have it sent out immediately. My initial thought was "for free..I hope" but I decided I didn't even want to deal with them and told her to cancel the order completely, making sure I would receive my full refund. She felt bad but I feel as if I should have been offered a comped meal or at least some kind of compensation..TWO HOURS waiting!? There's clearly something missing and they need to figure their crap out if they're going to charge 16 dollars for a wrap.
This place has great options for brunch. I started with a Bloody Mary which was perfection and my boyfriend and I shared two different wraps. I got a chicken wrap with some sort of amazing aioli sauce. So good! My boyfriends wrap had peppers, mozz, chicken, balsamic. I usually find this sort of wrap a little plain but the balsamic dressing is awesome! It was the same dressing that was on the side salad that came with the wrap. Fries are fresh cut.. Yum! Minus one star because service was just a little lacking. I will definitely go back!
