This review is for their donuts. It is pretty good, but not exceptional. It's a bit on the greasy side so I would suggest getting the donuts there and eating it there.
Their stuff donuts are really the stand out as the other traditional donuts are just, eh. We've had the dulce de luce, mascarpone cheese and coffee and I have to say, my favorite is the mascarpone cheese.
Come to try the stuffed donuts, as they are rather unique.
The breakfast I had here was sad as overpriced egg sandwich and cheap syrup. I will give a place another try so went there for lunch and ordered a burger. Service was friendly at the counter though no offer to refill my soda. Food was okay as burger is edible but nothing to write home about. Skinny fries were almost over cooked which I do not mind as order my fries well done when go to In N Out. Overall would say 2.5 with round up to 3 based on decor.
I was so glad to discover this place for myself!!
I've heard it can get crowded but we were seated right away early on a Saturday morning. The breakfast plates are a little pricey but those hash browns…yes…
I'm in love with their doughnuts. You need the coffee cream filled one in your life. 1/2 a dozen is under $7 which is totally reasonable. Every single flavor we tried was excellent.
Bonus points for selling them at the Hoboken farmer's market too!
There's nothing better than a quick service diner on a Saturday morning. This place offers great customer service – they are very attentive and make sure you enjoy the food. The meals there are simple, yet made very well. I haven't had the chance to taste their donuts but I've heard wonderful things about them!
I have been to Schnackenbergs many times for breakfast. This establishment has the look and feel of the old school diners that everyone loves. You will love this place not just for the look and feel but also for the food! It should be noted that this place gets busy in the morning, so beware.
As soon as we entered the restaurant the sunday morning, we were seated right away. It took about 10 minutes from when we ordered our food to when it came out. Our food came out exactly as we ordered it. I will suggest trying some of their home made donuts!!! you will not regret it! Also, try their pancakes… AWESOME! I think the food is very good and it is at a very very reasonable price. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food at a reasonable price.
I would rate Schnackenberg as follows: Food is 4 Stars, Service is 4 Stars, Price is 4 Stars and Atmosphere is 4 Stars.
The views expressed are of my own and are my true personal experience at this establishment. My personal experience may not reflect this actual establishment, their quality or someone else's experience at the establishment.
Fast and cheap breakfast and brunch option if you're looking for something a little more personable than Malibu or other diners nearby.
You're pretty much looking at breakfast for $10-12/person with free coffee or tea, and I'm not sure this can get any better around here unless you just hit up a bagel shop.
I have yet to try a doughnut/pastry but that is on the list for my next visit.
I only give this place two stars cause my coworker said his roast beef sandwich was good and the donuts LOOK amazing. And service was good.
But I asked the waiter for the most popular dish and she told me the grilled chicken sandwich…. The chicken felt like rubber, It tasted like fake meat! And it was not grilled it was pan fried and hard. it was horrible and the bread was hard. If your waiter staff is saying this is your most popular dish, I expect it to be good or at least satisfactory.
I definitely won't be back here I have a theory that every single restaurant on Washington Street is subpar. This place adds to the roster of restaurants to why this theory is still valid in my book.
Only reason why I would be back is for their donuts.
Was looking for a quick breakfast spot around our new hood, and found this place on Yelp. We walked for a bit to get here and were promptly seated when we showed up. In fact, through the entire meal the service was super attentive! We ordered some egg breakfasts that came with hashbrowns & toast which were rather good, but a bit over priced. Charming decor, too… but none of that is the reason you come here, we quickly learned.
You come here for the DOUGHNUTS. Oh my god, so fresh! So tasty! We got a half dozen for a rather reasonable $7, and tasted a great cross-section of their styles that we finished over the next few days. While we were eating breakfast we ate one of the doughnuts right there, a coffee cream filled one. SPECTACULAR. Do not call these "donuts", as it brings to mind some dry, chalky, mass-produced circular pastry of which these have nothing in common with other than their shape, I assure you!
To sum up, these doughnuts beat out Dough and Doughnut Plant hands down. I can't wait to go back and try more – they also sell them at the Hoboken Farmer's Market on Saturdays 😀
