Sauntered in here late one night when most of the other bars in the area had stopped serving food. We waited about 15 mins and after much flailing of hands,someone came and took our orders.
Though the lack of good service lowered our expectations of the food, it was pretty good(maybe the fact that we were ravenous had something to do with that).We literally wiped clean our plates of chicken fingers and wings. The drinks were not all that great though, watered down and mediocre.
The service was lackadaisical but maybe the late hour contributed to it(ofcourse that's no excuse).Will probably return once more to check it out at a better time.
Stopped here for Saturday morning brunch. The food is decent, not bad but also not memorable. My table ordered the Cheeseburger Sliders, Farmers Frittata, Cheese Steak Sandwich and Strawberry Pancakes to share. We each had a little of everything and again, pretty average. The Fries were a pleasant surprise– warm, crispy and perfectly salted. I could eat a million of these. You also can't go wrong with $5 Bloody Mary's and Mimosas. This isn't a brunch favorite if you're looking for five star quality food but a great stop for drink deals and a quick greasy food fix.
Not good.
We came in Sunday for brunch because it is one of the few places open at 10AM instead of 11AM (good news).
The staff was okay – friendly, but a little lost. They sat us at a table near the stairs, which was unfortunately located because the person sitting in the corner seat kept getting bumped.
And now the bad…THE FOOD…
Eggs Benedict – hollandaise sauce tasted slightly rancid, so I ended up scraping it off. The potatoes were clearly not freshly prepared. They tasted spongy and as if they had been sitting in water. Just horrible.
Pancakes – the actual pancakes were alright and the whipped cream was good, but they didn't even bring out syrup. Then, they brought out a small plastic takeout version that was completely solid when opened. Solid syrup. They were also supposed to come with choice of bacon, sausage, etc which was forgotten, so we had to ask for it.
I honestly could have given this one star, but I've been for dinner years ago and had a good burger, so I feel the potential is still there, but man has this place gone downhill.
They have a pretty good deal on Sundays. We got a bucket of 5 bud lights and 24 buffalo wings for $30. I liked the wings a lot. They weren't breaded so they weren't that filling but 24 for 2 people is a lot. This is a good deal to take advantage of when you are with a group. We also got their homemade jalapeño poppers. I liked them but they were very cheesy and hard to eat. They also have a nice out outdoor seating area and good brunch options.
We had 3 adults and 4 kids in our group. We were looking for a brunch place and my friend recommended coming here since it's one of the few places in Hoboken with a decent amount of space.
We didn't really order anything complicated — just a couple of burgers, a buffalo chicken wrap and some chicken tenders kids meals — but it took *forever* for the food to come out! My poor kids were about to fall asleep because it was getting close to their nap time but we had expected to finish eating by the time we got our food! I asked why it was so slow and she said there were a lot of people. Umm… the restaurant was only half full. I couldn't imagine how slow the food would be if the place was *actually* full.
The food was actually ok. Nothing to write home about but not terrible either.
Is the 1 star review harsh? Maybe. But in the end, I refuse to ever come back here because of how long it took for the food to come out and the waitress' less-than-logical explanation for it. Whatever the reason is, if I feel like I never want to go to a restaurant again, it deserves a 1 star review.
Even though i'm not a complete fan of Hoboken, I do enjoy this bar.
Not crazy crowded at night and the food selection is pretty good. Great craft beer selection as well from bottles to draft. Wait staff is kind and friendly as well and always have been accommodating to me.
Black bear looking too crowded for your liking? Take a walk across the street. You won't be disappointed.
A great bar in Hoboken! There was not much of that club-like feeling many of those bars turn into at night. Hoboken bar and grill kept it chill all night. The bar tenders were attentive and friendly despite the crowds of a Friday night. My friends ordered some burgers that came quick and tasted great!!
Oh Hobags. What more can I say?
You're smack dab in the middle of Wash, you've got a dirt cheap happy hour and bar food that satisfies a greasy food craving. It seems as if Hoboken's many sports bars can blend together, but Hobags (yes, I just really like saying that) always sticks out to me as having one of the best happy hours in the game. Pretty much everything is 3 dollars which really can't be beat. They've also got lots of patio seating which is great when you want to people watch on Washington street on a nice day. It's not the most glam on the inside, but what they lack in aesthetics they make up for in cheap a$$ dranks.
