The menu had plenty of options, and I ordered the Eggs Benedict with fries, along with a mimosa. Everything was delicious, and the outdoor seating made the experience even better. The views of the Freedom Tower are beautiful and create a great backdrop for brunch. If you're looking for a casual spot with good food, drinks, and one of the best skyline views in Jersey City, Buddy's is definitely worth a visit.

I debated between the avocado toast and the French toast sticks, but the server convinced me to get the latter. Within decent time, we got it and damn he made the right decision. The spicy honey was the best. Something I've never really seen before. Sweet, but with a hint of spice. Perfect combination. And if the spice level is too much, there is enough syrup, bananas, and berries to help offset the taste. Had a fun time here.

Delicious food Great cocktails Kindest staff that brought water out for our pup All good things. We got the apple guac to start and loved that it was like a sweeter, chuckier guacamole. It was served with plantain chips and great for a hotter night app. For my main, I got the Grain Bowl. So good, so filling and I had plenty left over for lunch the next day. It had quinoa, tofu, chickpeas, yams, and a green goddess dressing. This will officially be added to the rotation of lunch/dinner spot. Cannot wait to come back.

The sides were Caesar salad and fries. It was delicious, the server was quick and attentive making sure we were happy with our meal. The presentation of the food was superb it was a nice stop and I am sure I'll be back at some point. Seemed to be a nice dive bar in the heights not many places like this in the area.

So , fresh and so delicious ! Every bite had lobster in it ... no fillers . Some of my family members had lobster egg rolls . I tried a bite of one of the juicy lobster rolls and it was so delectable. I had the 2 lb. Lobster and it was so succulent, tender and moist. It was so delicious ! We also ordered asparagus, potatoes, truffle Mac and cheese that truly added more flavors to our lobster fest . Finally, dessert was amazing ! We had chocolate cake with walnuts and a mouth watering key lime dessert that added pure joy to our dinner experience Pablo our waiter really was very attentive to our every need . This evening exceeded our expectations and the vibe and lobster decor really showed their attention to detail. I absolutely recommend 87 Sussex ! You will have a pleasant experience and be surprisingly pleased !!!!

We went here for brunch on a weekend. Easy to make a reservation. It's got great ambiance. There's…read morea second floor mezzanine loft as well. Definitely an upscale posh restaurant with attentive waitresses. There's a small bar area as well. I wish there was a dedicated space for live music though as that would add something special to this venue. We heard about this place while going to wedding conventions. This place I would say is too small for an actual wedding reception unless you're having a very small wedding. I can see this place as great for small parties, small get together as with like 3 to 8 friends. You can probably reserve the whole place with a buy-out if you wanted to. I can see this place as good for a welcome party or dinner rehearsal maybe. Only downside is parking as it's in a tight location in JC. I also thought it was on a corner but alas I walked into a different restaurant. Still, you can find street parking I'm sure if you venture far enough. There's also the Whole Foods parking deck several blocks down if you are willing to make that couple block walk. Overall I recommend ride share to get here unless you're local, but even then. I would say this place definitely has potential. Would love to see this place come alive with jazz music one day. Did I mention the food and drinks were amazing? See photos. Will be coming back here for sure.

Had to come back and leave another review, this time with some photos, because Fire & Oak really…read moredeserves the recognition! This has become one of my favorite restaurants whenever I'm on the East Coast for work, and the fact that it's located right in the lobby of the hotel I frequently stay at makes it even better. Their happy hour is absolutely fantastic. The burger is genuinely one of the best I've ever had, and the oysters are incredible. I managed to put down an entire plate by myself, and I'd happily do it again! The bar staff is always extremely friendly and welcoming, the food comes out quickly, and the overall atmosphere is great. Between the quality of the food, the service, and the value, especially during happy hour, it's really hard to beat. I'm already looking forward to my next work trip out East, and Fire & Oak will absolutely be one of my first stops. Can't recommend this place enough!

After getting some mimosas, we ordered some deviled eggs to split while I separated away to order my pancakes. The deviled eggs were pretty tasty. Love the design of them. The pancakes hit the best.

While looking for a quick lunch bite, I decided to try out this new Greek restaurant in McGinley…read moresquare. Upon entry, you can make an order on their kiosks. However, you cant pay by app or make a customization there. Their bowls for $11.95 initially caught my eye. They had an all day $8 gyro sandwich promo too, but I wanted a bigger serving so I went for the beef kebab with rice/fries and Tzatziki sauce. Everything tasted good and fresh, but lightly seasoned. If the dishes were more flavorful they would be great. The serving size was great with a large beef portion and generous sides. They have a large, clean seating area with tables. They also have child high chairs available. Although they don't have servers, the clerk was nice enough to come assist with requests for things like a condiments. Overall, the food was very good, the prices were reasonable, and the service was good. I'll definitely visit again!

It's unfortunate I have to do this but the service my partner received at this establishment was so…read moreblatantly disrespectful that I have to put it out there for others who may have experienced the same. Upon entering Tros my partner waited to order something and the person working (the manager who he later learned was named Andres-?) was on the phone at the counter. The manager then proceeds to "shoo" him away by waving his hand. Who does that? Is he a child? Is this what a decent establishment does to potential customers? Perhaps he was busy (there was no one else in the restaurant but a police officer, who we later learned was lieutenant Rodriguez, waiting for his food). So my partner said "I'm going to use the restroom" and the manager rudely responds "don't you read the sign? Restrooms are for customers only." This exchange escalated to a place it simply didn't need to go if only the "manager" exhibited any customer service. He was uncouth and disgusting. And I believe his behavior was dismissive and disrespectful because of my partner's appearance. Will we ever return? Absolutely not. No one needs what appears to be extremely mediocre Greek food by what we can see in the pictures, especially when this is the way a manager behaves. Gross attitude, gross management.

What a warm, friendly, neighborhood mom 'n' pop restaurant--exactly the kind I love to support. While our food took a bit of time to arrive, it was clearly made from scratch with TLC. You could practically taste it in every bite. Throw in the fact that menu is mostly tried-and-true American comfort food, and you've got a winning combination for an easy dinner that won't break the bank. Our housemade Fish Cakes were perfectly fried, stuffed with fish, and felt like something you'd eat from a stand in downtown Kingston, Jamaica. The Four Cheese Mac 'n' Cheese--at just $10--was a large enough portion for two peoples, made with thinner than traditional macaroni noodles and a lovely broiled top that imparted a smokey char. But the star of the show was undoubtedly the namesake burger. It's one of the best burgers I've had in a long, long time. The grass-fed beef was so perfectly cooked--all the hearty meat flavor you could want and full of succulent jus. The other accompaniments were placed perfectly within the rich, toasted brioche bun, making every bite feel like the culinary equivalent of Jon Bon Jovi singing in your mouth (or insert other American musical icon of your choice). Even the fries were stellar, like Richie Sambora crooning harmony next to Jon.

I had the kimchi fried rice, which I didnt think Id like but I loved it. Fit was paired with I want to say some type of steak but dont quote me. I chose this based off of our waiter's personal recommendation and it was spot on. I even took my picky 13 year old the most recent time I went and she loved it as well (not the rice though). She only eats white rice or rice with "grass" in it as I like to tease her about her love of Chipotle's rice.

This is a happy hour menu-only review…read more First, I want to say that staff here are absolutely perfect. Everyone we encountered as so nice, so welcoming, and so accommodating. No notes there. Management, if you're reading this, your staff is great. Now, onto the happy hour. Non-beer options are slim pickings on the HH menu. I wish they had a cocktail or two that wasn't a mimosa. Draft beers were very well priced and my Sapporo did hit. The bulgogi nachos were pretty good. The fried chicken was fine - nice crunch but almost zero flavor. They had a tiny side of honey mustard for dipping, but otherwise, pretty bland. The appetizer sampler was basic, to be honest. I had the chicken dumplings, fries, and cheese sticks. The mozz sticks were, just like the fried chicken, bland. Actually, everything in the sampler platter was bland. I would be back for a beer and the nachos, and I definitely want to come back and try their donkatsu.
