Restaurants in Hoboken

“This isn’t just pizza — it’s an experience. The spicy square pepperoni slice is the kind of thing you dream about. They’re open late, which is perfect for night owls like me, and the student discount is a sweet bonus. Honestly, if Hoboken had a pizza crown, this place would wear it”

“Few places are as accommodating as the staff here. The menu, although on available digitally, is extensive. Large selection of GF (gluten free) items. You can start with apps, choose from pizza or pasta as an entree. It is BYOB and that can make for a fun evening. They will accommodate to suit taste, we had someone that was sensitive to sodium, they adjusted sted the entree to suit. The place is small, the food tasty and seriously, the service is over the top.”

“Heard good things about this place and my first visit did not disappoint. The vibe was fun and trendy, and the food and drinks were good. I’ve never had a frozen Aperol spritz until I came to this place, and it was delicious. Will absolutely come back!”

“The food was delicious! We ordered the crab spaghetti, the steak and frites, the short rib bao buns and the broccolini. Soooo delicious! And the Bloody Mary margarita was on point.

Will be back here!”

“Really neat little place, friendly people, delicious treats!”

“Came here for Valentine's Day. Staff were very welcoming and food was amazing. Live DJ was a nice touch and the bathrooms downstairs were super clean. Would def recommend.”

“I was there at the end of the night. After a 12 hour shift, you'd think these guys would slow down or half ass the order they get? NOPE! they still served some of the best halal chicken over rice i have had in YEARS!!!”

“Doughnuts are super yummy! And the milkshakes are soooo good!”

“My first time to Pokemoto. I was a bit overwhelmed at all of the options, but what an absolutely amazing experience! My tuna bowl was fantastic!”

“This place is a great place to get dinner with friends! The environment is great to work in as well, and the food is delicious with it. I love to order the Steak Rice Bowl!”

“Great food and atmosphere. Great French menu plus excellent cocktail drinks. Really top notch restaurant. One of my favorite places to eat in Hoboken.

Small area of improvement: It would be better if you did not turn off the lights to sing happy birthday. We went on a night where there were several birthday dinners, and it was a bit annoying for other guests to turn all the lights off.”

“This place is the heart of Hoboken! If you ever visit Hoboken, you must stop by the Green Pear Cafe!!!”

“This was our first time trying this famous sandwich place. Thus, we were not sure what were the options. Unfortunately, they do not have a list of menu. However, they were very patient with us and told us what the special sandwiches of the day were. We got that day's special which was roastbeef. It was quite delicious. Next time, I would like to try a sandwich with bresaola (if they have).”

“Nice Place”

“The best! Need her as my neighbor.. yummy best cookies and cakes �”

“Intimate dinner experience. The staff was so chill, friendly and fun. Would recommend to anyone in the area. Due to limited seating- reservation is a requirement, not a suggestion.”

“Great place for dinner and drinks”

“Service was very slow but the food was good. We had the vegetarian enchiladas and spinach burritos.

Vegetarian options: Veggie and spinach options available in enchiladas and burritos.”

“Very fast and convenient restaurant! Delicious sandwiches and runs about $30 for 2 sandwiches.
Will definitely be coming again and reminds me of an old school type of deli feel. Make sure you try the Vito sandwich it’s my favorite!”

“Great place happening lots of fun good food n drinks Lov it”

“Awesome venue with great service and live music. Definitely check it out”

“I’ve always really loved this place. The cacio y pepe, scallops and pork chop parm prob fave dishes. Had a weird obsession with their kale Caesar where I ate it every day for like 2 months.”

“Everyone there was so warm and welcoming. Henry made being here a really fun experience. My friends and I came for the Love Island season finale, and it was so fun to all be together with some good drinks and some good tv. I am definitely coming here again!”

“Great place for dinner and drinks”

“All day dim sum & Cantonese cuisine. 🥡🥢”

“Amazing views of NYC and beautiful decor inside Halifax! From a cool bar with creative cocktails to a dining room where the food and service is top notch! Beautiful outside dining is also available in warmer months . Stay over at the W and go for their Brunch!! best brunch in Hoboken!”

“Our server, Antonio, was fantastic. I can't say enough about his service skills and humor. If we ever get back to the NYC area, we'll be back to Metropolis. We were a party of 12, it felt like it was just my wife and I, that's how personable Antonio was/is.”

“If your a lover of coffee and fresh premium quality food, Bluestone Lane has something special waiting for you. Next time your in Hoboken do yourself a favor and stop in for breakfast or brunch. You’ll be sure to find the right choice of specialty coffee and food options that suit your pallet.”

“Wow… outstanding food! Gorgeous restaurant, such a fun and lively vibe. Loud, dark, and the food was mind blowing. Everything was perfect. Thank you!”

“Delicious meal. Service spot on. We’ll be back.”

“Free use of the bathroom, clean. Great, quick service. Hot food is hot, cold food is cold. I liked their unsweetened iced tea. Very well made! Open 24 hours. Free parking!”

“Friendly service and great food…”

“Chip city is insane !! They are such a caring company to donate to the NYC Ronald McDonald house. I was honored to have tasted a cookie (or 2) and was blown away. Absolutely amazing love for their community. Thank you Chip City !”

“So fast, so fresh. Truly the best spring rolls I’ve ever had. The lemongrass chicken bowl is so good and full of delicious crisp fresh veggies. Highly recommend. So glad we have a good Vietnamese spot in town!”

“A local favorite for me! Food is always fresh, healthy, and delicious! Friendly and hard-working staff. I really enjoy the PB&J along with any of the smoothies. The specials are always refreshing to try too. Plenty of seating or you can grab and go. Definitely a 10/10 recommend!”

“So glad that what was formerly It’s Pinsa did not close and instead exists here in Hoboken as Ovale! It was so depressing to see my favorite spots disappear since the pandemic. My favorite pizza! Definitely artisanal and well-crafted. The unique dough blend and lengthy time for fermentation makes the mouth feel and experience a stand-out and crave-worthy! So light and tasty with just the right amounts of each ingredient for a satisfying, balanced and crusty bite. I always get the red funghi pie as I don’t eat mammals. Everyone I’ve brought loves it too and selects different options. It never disappoints! I’m a big eater and I often take home a slice or two. It’s a smaller joint than the earlier location with just a few indoor seats and some outdoor seating depending on the season. I love to bring my dog here after we play in the big dog park a few blocks away. Highly recommended!”

“I live in Florida, but I wanted to send Halloween-themed baked goods for my sons and daughter-in-law in Jersey City. Baking Mama delivered delicious cookies, cupcakes, and brownies on time right to their door. My kids said they were delicious and they looked great in the photos they sent. Two thumbs up!”

“Really nice blend of foam, sugar, and taro—meaning that none was overwhelming but refreshing in a way that’s rare for a flavor this intense. Love the pleasing colors and most importantly, the smooth as cream texture of the slushie drink. Would definitely recommend and I’m planning on getting the matcha flavor next time!”

“Sharma-ji took really good care of us! We were group of 3 friends and we really enjoyed the food, ambience is good too! And the employees are really welcoming and gave us good hospitality.”

“Best food truck in JC, clean and generous staff .”

“My favorite place in Hoboken! The owner is one of the kindest people I have ever met, and every delicious dish is made with love. Great coffee, omelettes and breakfast sandwiches! Cozy ambiance, good music and cool local artwork on the walls. Definitely give this place a try!”

“Nice GF donuts. Staff was patient going through ingredients with me. Clean with a bright atmosphere. I’ve been here before, for a decent breakfast burrito… would like if the music was not quite so loud. The food is not overpriced like some Hoboken cafes.”

“Hands down better than almost all NYC yakitori. 💯

Recommendations:
- Chicken Oyster 😳
- Chicken Wings 😩

General Comments:
- Although it takes a while, it's clear that the time is used to deliver quality. 😌
- Perfectly cooked skewers with smokey flavor. 🔥
- I was afraid the chicken might be raw because the skewers are thick, but no, they were thoroughly cooked AND juicy.
- The mushroom and chicken thigh skewers were also great but the other two I recommended were even better.”

“I would strongly recommend paying this place a visit. The food is great and the service is very fast.”

“The girls at the counter are super nice and very aesthetic. The place seems really nice and the food here is super good. I’ve been eating here for the past two years with my boyfriend and we both love it at all price matches, food quality, and will forever come every day of my life Every hour”

“Stepping inside or ordering from the outside, getting my hot or iced Red Eye has me set for the day!

I’m tempted to try the dog treats they have for the pups but my dog eats it before I can get a chance! 😆”

“The absolute best Ramen!! Amazing food and great service!”

“It’s a small cozy place with very limited seating it’s more of grab and go coffee shop. When I was visiting it was only one person working very tight space for customers I wish it was just a window and everyone waited outside.
Overall the coffee was good. The pastry selection was great we had banana bread, carrot cake and croissant everything was outstanding nothing was overpowering. Perfectly sweet and delicious.
I wish it was more a grab and go place the wait was a little irritating.”

“Best gelato in the USA! Okay, I’m exaggerating but it feels like I’m transported back to Italy—same taste & vibes.

Even their coffee tastes strong, simple, and satisfying like in Italy.”

“If you’re looking for one hell of a night, this is the place to be in Hoboken. Great pints, lively crowd, and music that keeps the energy going all night long. The staff are super friendly, and the atmosphere makes you feel like you’re right in the heart of Dublin. Perfect spot whether you’re out with friends or just looking to soak in the Hoboken nightlife!”

“Great addition to the 5th Ward! Excellent service. Love the Chai Latte, the homemade marshmallows that top drinks for kids and adults are special, great gifts for babies and and a welcoming bright space in the location formerly occupied by Truglio’s. You have to check it out. Congratulations to Kristin and Catherine — the owners of this business — for creating a great community space that has already added so much to our neighborhood.”

“This is a number#1 spot. Top serves and food is a phenomenal. Vinvak was so welcoming made us feels at home. It's a must on your yelp, grub hub,Uber eats. Breakfast lunch or dinner they got it. %100 love this place.”

“If you’re looking for great food/cocktails/service/ambience...Saku is for you!”

“A very nice place to check out if you’re into mediterranean cuisine! Excellent vegetarian options and delicious food. But if you’re someone who enjoys good service like me then this is not the place. after being sat down for 15 mins the server gave the menu. After reminding 3 times, we finally got water which was bottled and we were not told about I assumed they would bring tap water and on top of that they will randomly put 15% or 18% tip irrespective of party size. Waiting for menu for 15 mins and then waiting for water not sure what kind of service one is getting and to top it off getting the drinks ordered post meal! Again if you’re a foody then this a good place to try but not for the service.”

“Great pies! Huge selection.”

“Great food n environment rocks”

“Great coffee and a real neighborhood vibe.”

“Loved my iced mocha with Almond Milk today! The barista was friendly and great service. super cute little shop!”

“A big shout out to my best latin place in Hoboken: Chango Kitchen. Traditional yummy latin dishes. Our faves are churrasco con chimichurri (skirt steakgrilled) and ropa vieja (shredded beef). My kids loved "alfajores with dulce de leche", "tres leches" and hot chocolate with when it's cold outside. Service is warm and friendly. We can visit the place multiple times and never get tired. #supportlocal”

“One of my favorite coffee shops in Hoboken! They have fun seasonal drink flavors. They recently added matcha brownies to their pastry selection (at least they were selling them last I went). It was so good. The decor is really cute as well!

Edit: last two times I’ve gone, the milk to matcha/chai mix ratio hasn’t been great. Will go back and try again though! Hoping those last two experiences were flukes bc this had been one of my go to spots prior”

“Great food and cocktails.”

“Came with my husband and daughter. We had reservations so got seated right away. My husband had the burger and it was great. And I ordered the barbes royal and it was delicious! Will definitely go back!”

“Mutz is a soft, mild cheese. You'd be forgiven for thinking that it would struggle to stand up to roast beef, roast turkey, hot peppers, sweet peppers, and the soft loaf encasing them all in a piled-high deli sandwich.

This mutz shines through. The stories about this place? The Biancamano lore? All true. This old-school deli shows why they're an institution.”

“Love Schmitty’s overall - great spot, awesome staff, good vibes. Specifically wanted to pass along my amazing experience having a party there ….

We hosted my dad’s birthday at Schmitty’s and it was perfect. We rented out the indoor and outdoor space privately for a few hours, which gave us plenty of room to celebrate with family and friends in a relaxed, fun setting.

The staff at Schmitty’s were incredible—friendly, professional, and truly went above and beyond to help make the event special. They even recommended a fantastic musician for live music, who we ended up hiring, and it brought such a great energy to the night.
Everything came together beautifully, and it was a memorable evening for our whole family. Huge thanks to the Schmitty’s team—we couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”

“Totally a hidden Korean spot for their street food and mochi donuts! Limited seats so they majorly do delivery.
(The owner said they r famous for their Korean-style fried chicken, definitely visit again for that.)

?❤️‍??Donut was so chewy, soft, and flavored! I love my injeolmin flavor which was powdered soybean. Gentle taste, not too sweet. Highly recommended✨

❤️✨Original corn dog was totally delicious too. I got half mozzarella half hot dog to try both, the outside bread was chewy, crispy, melted with cheese part. Thus I preferred mozzarella part? crazy good.”

“Fresh and unique. I recommend the Mexican street corn fries.”

“Could not believe there is a small town bar in the middle of Hoboken. Loved everything about it, from the bartender Daniel, who was not only professional, but friendly and fun to chat with, to the juke box you can play your music.

I loved that it was very quiet in the middle of the week, and you could interact comfortably with other peole”

“I was impressed by how great this place was. I’m not always adventurous with desserts, but the cantaloupe icy with ice cream was amazing. Service was awesome too. We will be going back!”

“Great hang out for local Hoboken bourgeois dwellers . If you are a right wing political wako, you won’t be confortable . Best baristas in the NYC area and beyond Shout out to Jordan and his crew”

“Love this place, Great food! Tons of great, healthy options for any meal. Meal prep services are great as well; fresh, tasty, delivered weekly and you can’t beat the price. Cannot recommend them enough!”

“Beautiful and delicious gift boxes! Great for holiday entertaining!”

“The thought of eating vermicelli bowls (order with noodles not rice!) here for lunch is the only thing keeping me sane from my company’s 5-day RTO policy. This shop always has good quality meat that’s seasoned to perfection, good nuoc cham, generous portions, and sweet workers!!! Better than most “Viet” food in the city esp considering this is a fast-casual option. Literally the highlight of my day. I should probably try other things on the menu and I’m sure it would be solid!!”

“The service of the turning point has fell off quite a bit from what I am use to from this amazing breakfast spot Not once the the server come to refresh or ask if we needed a refill and also had to be reminded where's our coffee and they weren't as busy as they usually are Brenda we need you back”

“ev Everything about this place is great. peanutbutter Dream is my favorite of all !!”

“By food I mean the beer I haven't had the chance to eat there yet but the food looks good. Stopped by there yesterday since I was close to the location and had the pleasure of meeting an amazing bartender Sebastian. Answered all my questions, very knowledgeable about beer and was generous to allow me to sample before I picked what I wanted to drink. Atmosphere is laid-back, I was able to chat with a few other customers no issues, everybody was friendly. Exactly how a local bar should be, welcoming and warm. I also learned from him that they have a system ( which to me is very modern because I haven't heard about this ) but every time they change the keg there's an auto feature that cleans the line out by itself which makes a lot of sense because you don't want to have the taste of a sour beer in an IPA and vice versa or mix it up. When I found that out, I realized this is the place to go to for an amazing variety of beers which will always be guaranteed fresh because of their processes. Definitely worth a visit for some fresh cold beer with a great variety and knowledgeable bartender, can't get better than that!!”

“Best cookies in nj hands down!”

“Never had a bad meal in 24 years of living in Hoboken and eating at La Isla. One of the best!”

“My mom thinks your food is delicious, she is a senior and my sister in law Linda Husted orders from your restaurant. It makes her happy to know how much she enjoys your food!”

“Took my husband here for his 64th birthday dinner on a recommendation and was not disappointed! This gem checked all the boxes in my book! We will definitely be coming back!! Thanks to the great bartender and the owners who went out of there way to make sure everything a that Carlos had an amazing experience!”

“Best food truck in JC, clean and generous staff .”

“We celebrated our granddaughterKylie Kerwin’s 13th birthday last night It is her favorite in Hoboken and they go out for dinner a lot. The food was outstanding and the service was excellent. They helped to make her birthday so great. Thank you to everyone and for sure we will be back again .!!”

“Quality is better then food sold at most restaurants”

“It’s a very comfortable & warming place!”

“Great Breakfast sandwiches! Had an amazing time and all deserts we purchased were amazing! Definitely going back for more!”

“Doughnuts are super yummy! And the milkshakes are soooo good!”

“This isn’t just pizza — it’s an experience. The spicy square pepperoni slice is the kind of thing you dream about. They’re open late, which is perfect for night owls like me, and the student discount is a sweet bonus. Honestly, if Hoboken had a pizza crown, this place would wear it”

“Great local spot right on the Hudson.”

“My first time to Pokemoto. I was a bit overwhelmed at all of the options, but what an absolutely amazing experience! My tuna bowl was fantastic!”

“Really neat little place, friendly people, delicious treats!”

“Amazing food! Come visit and support one do the best places in town!”

“The service of the turning point has fell off quite a bit from what I am use to from this amazing breakfast spot Not once the the server come to refresh or ask if we needed a refill and also had to be reminded where's our coffee and they weren't as busy as they usually are Brenda we need you back”

“Great Mother’s Day brunch!”

“Highly recommend this restaurant!”

“Loved this place. Great atmosphere!”

“All day dim sum & Cantonese cuisine. 🥡🥢”

“I was there at the end of the night. After a 12 hour shift, you'd think these guys would slow down or half ass the order they get? NOPE! they still served some of the best halal chicken over rice i have had in YEARS!!!”

“Had to drop my bf in Hoboken and happen to park right in front of this coffee house . I wanted to treat myself so I check their site and got a matcha frappe & a tres leches. They were all out of tres leches so I got a pistachio chocolate cake . It was pretty good bite into a pistachio shell. It was good tho . First girl making my frappe didn’t know how to make it or what ? But yeah she had trouble I had no problem waiting. I was patient . The 2nd girl attempted to make it but it didn’t come out right . Again I’m willing to wait to get my drink right . 3rd girl made it . It was pretty good . I’d def come back to get their tres leches .”

“This new brunch spot is an amazing addition to Hoboken’s culinary landscape. This isn't just brunch; it felt like a meticulously crafted culinary journey.

For our main courses, I ordered the sensational ricotta scrambled eggs, cooked to a juicy texture. It came paired with a vibrant cucumber and tomato salad that was bright and flavor-forward, making the entire plate feel incredibly wholesome, nourishing, and deeply satisfying. It’s the perfect antidote to the heavy, predictable brunch fare found elsewhere.

My husband's selection, the breakfast burrito, was equally impressive, featuring unbelievably tender shredded beef that was bold, savory, and perfectly seasoned. It came with a flavorful aioli sauce that I also tried and looveddd!

For a sweeter finish, we had the ricotta pancakes with a blueberry compote. They were notably flavorful and held a pleasant, substantial texture. While they weren't strictly dry, we added a side of maple syrup to achieve that super moist, decadent result—a simple tweak that made them even better.

The drinks were a highlight! I enjoyed an amazing iced lavender matcha latte (probably my favorite in Hoboken - sounds that they offer lavender year round 😍) and it was super creamy and perfectly balanced, expertly prepared by Meghan. My husband’s coffee was also amazing (and I’m not even a coffee drinker but surprisingly I enjoyed several sips!), served with beautiful latte art, showcasing Eli’s barista skills.

We enjoyed the pleasant outdoor dining area (first come, first served; we waited only 10 minutes and were able to dine with our dog—a huge plus!). If outdoor dining is a must, try to arrive a little early. It's absolutely worth the short wait! If you have a bigger dog (mine is only 30lbs), the front tables have a larger semi-closed area so you can enjoy brunch without your dog saying hi to every person that passes by!

The service was warm, welcoming, and highly attentive. A special shout-out to Shirley, who was super friendly and made us feel right at home (and even remembered my name throughout the dining experience!) The owner also had stopped by to say hello which was a nice touch for a new local small business in the area! Highly recommend trying this new spot for brunch!:)”

“Wow what a warm stunning place! The baristas are amazing and sweet. Got myself pistachio matcha latte - perfectly balanced taste. And feta spinach bakery - yumm. You forget that you’re in NY and feels like traveling”

“I absolutely love this place. But what really stood out was the amazing service I received while I was there. I believe her name was Ethel. So kind. So knowledgeable and prompt. I will gladly come as long as she’s there. As a Food Network personality having been on chopped and beat Bobby Flay I take my dinning experiences serious when I have the time off. She delivered with zero disappointment. Give her a raise! Can’t wait to come back for another visit.”

“I'm South East Asian and this place is legit!

Brisket Banh Mi is one of the best I've ever had and it's only 10 bucks. The pho broth is very fragrant and beefy too.

Hope this place stays in business for as long as I am here.”

“The best chicken Hyderabad biryani I’ve ever had.

It perfectly balances rich spices, tender chicken, and fragrant basmati rice cooked in the traditional dum style.

Great portion, friendly service, and a warm atmosphere make this a must visit for biryani lovers.

Highly recommended!”

“Once again, stellar customer service which is a bit iron since this is a robo-salad location. The staff that was here made sure my salad was perfect AND was both friendly and fast”

“This Sweetgreen was on point. The food came out fresh and fast, and the staff were super nice you can tell they actually care. The space was clean, music was good, and the whole vibe just felt easy. I wasn’t even that hungry but ended up finishing everything. Definitely one of the better Sweetgreens I’ve been to.”

“Wonderful customer service and the place was spotless! I had the biscoff cookie butter cruffin and it was to die for. The way the croissant bottom and muffin topped was paired with a biscoff filling inside was incredible. I am still craving for another one! The chicken salad sandwich was amazing as well. I am not one for cranberry mixed in with my chicken salad, but it enhanced the flavor.”
