Happy Hour. Probably the two best words everyone looks forward to after a long day at work. Luckily for my hometown of Hoboken there are numerous bars on every block however this at times leaves the best HH spots to get lost in the mix.
Biggie's (a national treasure in Hoboken) has the best Happy Hour specials in town. For starters it starts at 3 unlike other places that begin at 4. Of course my favorite part is you can take advantage of the great specials no matter where you sit! Want to hang at the bar and watch the games? No problem. Or rather sit at a booth and unwind about your day? No problem!
The establishment itself is large and very spacious. The servers are always nice and attentive and food and drinks come out quickly.
I think their bar food is really good. I ordered chicken tenders with mozzarella sticks and it was good quality HH food. Some might be thinking to themselves how can you mess these two up? Trust me I've had some low quality mozzarella sticks at places but never at Biggie's. If you aren't in the mood for any of the food specials have a regular entree. The sandwiches and especially clams are delicious and always fresh.
Drinks are done right. Nothing that will blow your mind but also nothing that leaves you wondering if you're sipping on an adult or child beverage. Biggie's is the best HH in town if you want space and affordable good quality specials hands down.
I stopped in to Biggie's on my way to the PATH heading back from my NJ office, and I wanted to eat some Oysters and Clams and have a few drinks. I called my friend Jared who lives just a block away to come meet me for a drink or two.
It was a good experience. I ordred the Raw Bar sampler and asked for little neck clams. What I got was 3 Lil necks, 3 Shrimps ala shrimp cocktail and they were decent sized and not overcooked, and 3 East Coast Oysters ( I did not ask where they were from, but they were large for East Coast)
All of the above were tasty, they get points for serving it with an equal amount of Horseradish as they served cocktail sauce. I then got Chalula, Tabasco and a Hot Buffalo sauce that was sorta vinegar tasting right up my alley.
The Barkeep asked me if i'd like another cocktail exactly as I downed each drink and he was extermely pleasant. The space is large and I was happy for a nice Monday happy hour raw bar get down, because everyone hates Monday's!!
Definitely a chill place to grab a drink. They also have a private room downstairs that csn host parties which is a plus.
Food is what you expect in hoboken. Slightly above average but not nyc quality.
Sraff is very good so you are in good hands here.
I came here on a Monday night and sat outside. Our waitress was extremely cordial and made sure we were always taken care of. I had a Yelp check-in offer for calamari, and she recommended the Thai chili one. It was pretty tasty, no complaints and nice that the coupon was half off 🙂 I ordered the seared Ahi tuna wrap, which I hoped was a little bit more seasoned. It comes with waffle fries (awesome). My boyfriend ordered a burger and he said he enjoyed it. Nice atmosphere, fairly decent prices for food and drinks, and great service!
Biggies in Hoboken is great! I've also visited the one of route 3. The staff at both rocked and the menu is awesome!! I've had the chicken sandwich and loved the flavor. They have a great oyster bar and many bar food options. The prices are great for such popular areas. I have never had a complaint about the servers here.
Biggies is a great bar and restaurant, especially on game days! They have TVs everywhere, and enough tables to accommodate large groups. Their service is great, they have a large menu, as well as daily beer and food specials
After once visiting the Madison Street location in Hoboken, I planned a day to come back to Biggie's Clam Bar with a friend, and I was super excited. When I had gone a year or so ago to the Madison Street location, the place was a little rough around the edges, looking more like a fast food joint than anything, but the food was good and I was craving some good ol' seafood again. After making these plans to go back to Biggie's, we met up and I searched for Biggie's on my maps app and ended up at this Newark Street location rather than Madison (it had been a while since I went so I didn't realize there were different locations). Boy, was I happy I ended up here.
Food: B+
My friend and I ordered the following to share: Thai Chili Calamari, Shrimp Oreganata, Biggie's Clam Pizza, and the Seafood Fiesta linguini with pink cream & plum tomato Fiesta sauce. The shrimp oreganata and the seafood fiesta linguini were particularly on point. I love seafood and so I liked the great variety of different seafood included (shrimp, scallops, clams, mussels, calamari, crab meat). The shrimp oreganata was broiled butterflied shrimp with oreganata bread crumbs, and it was DELISH. The calamari was awesome too. I wish it had been a little bit less soggy, but since it was covered in the thai chili sauce, it was the best it could be, I suppose. As for the clam pizza, I actually didn't really enjoy it. It didn't really have much sauce or taste in my opinion, but my friend did like it – must be a matter of pizza preferences. Besides the pizza, I really enjoyed the food, though I ended up spending quite a bit for it.
Drinks: C
In a nutshell, not much bang for your (substantial) buck.
Service: B-
The wait staff was friendly enough, albeit kind of slow. We were seated in the back and didn't get all thattt much attention, despite the fact that there weren't many tables at all. I'm not sure what they were doing with their time.
Ambiance: A
Unlike the Madison Street location, which had a fast food/diner type of feel to it, this location was much more a "date place." The décor and general feel was much classier and mature. Their tables were wooden with a nice deep finish, the lighting was intimate but not too dark, and the space was set up well for some more privacy than many other places (you don't feel squashed together with other tables). What was nice about this place was that while it was classier, it still had a chill vibe where you could relax, let loose, and have a good time.
Sat at the bar, had a Groupon. Ate wings and sandwiches. Drank beer. Felt like a Zipps. Sports bar with lots of dudes drinking and lots of girls working. Food was mostly friend bar food but it was okay. Beer was on happy hour, so we got happy. Lost of guys were eating clams, Service was okay, location is great, right near PATH.
