The Bourbon Steak Crepe getting prepared
C R.

The steak bourbon crepe was delicious! They have so many good flavors to choose from it was hard to decide! We got one savory and one sweet to split in half each. The steak bourbon was flavorful and definitely a good sized portion! I could have likely eaten the whole thing alone. But then we ate the nutella crepe for dessert--thinner than the steak bourbon but still good. (I could have done with a bit more filling) We left very satisfied and would definitely come again. It's not for large groups. It's a very small place. Comfortably 8 people could fit there to eat at three same time. If need be you could seat a few more. If you're not into close quarters, it might be best to get your food to go. Something is going on with them and their credit processor so they have a sign letting you know they don't take credit cards. I'm not even mad at that because these card companies are swindlers in a lot of ways. But it is something you ought to know. They do take Zelle, PayPal, Venmo and CashApp though.

The Pre-Nup (Chkn)

I've been eyeing crepe guru for a very long time and am so excited that I finally got to try this place out. The inside is tiny, but chic! There isn't a ton of seating and I know it gets packed on the weekends, so be prepared. I came here for brunch, so I decided to go with a savory crepe. I went with the prenup with chicken and let me tell you, they stuffed this crepe to the brim! I didn't think one crepe would fill me up, and I couldn't even finish it. The chicken was ground and seasoned, which was an interesting take on the crepe. They fry their crepes and it creates a very sturdy structure for a handheld! The flavors together were pretty basic, but a good, hearty filing meal. Just a heads up that they do not take card, but do take cash, venmo, cashapp, and anything else you can name. The customer service here was 10/10 and they didn't even let me pay until after I finished eating. I had a great experience and will be back! Next time, I plan on doing a "build your own"!

Savory crepe with chicken and prenup sauce
Maxwell L.

Really quirky but inviting place. They have a lot of options for sweet and savory crepes, including a crepe made out of Dorito dust, "The Donald" which consists of cheddar, bacon, and Russian dressing, and a variety of sweet crepes. I got a recommended savory crepe with chicken and prenup sauce. It was massive. The filled to the brim crepe with chicken, cheese, onions, bacon, lettuce, and sauce was crispy on the outside and ate like an burrito, almost. I'd like to try one of the sweet crepes next time.

If you're looking for something sweet, savory or both Crepe guru is the place to be. They have dessert crepes filled with fresh fruits and ice cream or savory dinner crepes that have delicious seasoned chicken with freshly tossed veggies. The service and food comes out hot and fast and they make it right in front of you . The place is cozy and tiny but gives you a chic NY kinda vibe with low lights. Definitely a must try if you're in downtown Jersey city.

Nutella Batter Crepe - so perfect!
Sun H.

Super cute crepe place that my friend Sheila showed me as well! Good place to catch up and the service is so nice - the food also comes out so fast! If you are craving something sweet (or savory since they have savory options) I would pop by to treat yourself (:

***No Cards Accepted *** Glad we had cash. This place has a great ambiance. A little hole in the wall that compels you to check it out. Very cute at night. They have a few tables spread out, good for small groups. We ordered the cheesecake crepe to split. The person who took our order was super nice. She said we could build it however we wanted. But we weren't sure, so we went with the standard. It was delicious. It was packed full of strawberries. I would have liked a bit more cheesecake, but it was a very full crepe, so no complaints.

Nutella and strawberry crepe with dark chocolate.

My friend and I were craving crepes like no other at 10pm, and we were so excited to find Crepe Guru open late. After a half hour drive (we were reallyyyy desperate for crepes), we snagged a lucky parking spot (street parking only and it gets packed) and made a beeline for Crepe Guru. It was super busy even close to midnight. Service was really friendly, and I loved that they accepted venmo for contactless payments. Staff were all wearing masks, and there was inside and outside seating (with nice heat lamps to temper the chill). My friend and I both built our own crepes with nutella, strawberries and bananas, and whipped cream and ice cream. They have a ton of options between sweet and savory, but we were really jonesing for the sweet crepes. I thought it was a great option to allow customers to choose between fresh fruits, different toppings, and different drizzles on top. Unfortunately the crepes themselves didn't quite live up to our expectations. The crepes were thick and rather tough, nothing like the thin, elastic, tender crepes we were expecting. The fruit inside was good, but I thought there was wayyyy too much nutella and chocolate drizzle on the outside. The sauce really overwhelmed everything and while it could have helped with the dry crepe, the whole thing ended up being sickly sweet. I think the crepe batter might have worked better with a savory crepe because then it would have been more reminiscent of a burrito-like texture, so I might try that in the future.

The Dynomite Chicken Crepe
Sal M.

ooooh what a fun takeout spot, i tried the dynomite chicken crepe with the dorito crepe batter and WOW was it good. next time i will try eating in the restaurant, as takeaway inevitably gets a bit soggy. looking forward to also trying their dessert crepes. great value for the price, they really add the filling in there.

Melani R.

DELICIOUS NUTELLA CREPES!! My sister told me about Crepe Guru and so I decided to go try it out! I went on a Sunday and conveniently found parking in front of the creperie. I walked in and my order was taken immediately. The ambiance was very clean and had chill music playing. I ordered the Nutella batter with strawberries and it was amazing!! To top it off, my crepe was also served with a side of vanilla ice cream. If you're someone like me who likes less Nutella, you can ask for that as well. The crepes are made fresh, soft, and tasted amazing!! would definitely recommend Crepe Guru and will be coming back:) (fyi cards are not accepted, but cash/venmo/zelle are)

Brad B.

Hard-working family own business with great crêpes mine was chicken mozzarella grilled onions and pesto very tasty and my friend had fruit with Nutella amazing. Reasonable. I feel they could definitely improve the seating both indoor and outdoor are utilizing the space better but that's my only complaint.

The Nutty apple crepe
Jenifer G.

Really good apple crepe! Comes with ice cream and whip cream!! I loved it but if you don't have a appetite you can share it! Also place was packed very low seating options

The Nutella Batter Crepe
Bianca P.

AMMMMMMAZING!!!!! The Nutella batter is beyond yummy!!! Omg!!!! I highly recommend this spot. It's fun, funky and the women behind the counter is SOOOO nice!! The crepe was delicious, fresh, bursting with strawberries and Nutella. It was beyond yummy!!! It was served with a nice portion (two scoops) of ice cream and whipped cream.. We didn't try the savory crepes but they were being made while we were they and smelled soooooo good!! We'll def be back!!

Nicholas G.

4.5 stars on Yelp is impressive! Any time you can put up those numbers it means you are doing something right. This is a place that goes all in on crepes. They have all sorts of savory and sweet ones. We were in the mood for savory so we went with the bourbon chicken crepe and donald crepe. First off, it is not the best bbq sauce on the bourbon chicken. It lacked flavor and tasted almost watered down. The crepe was done right and had the right texture. The Donald was better and I would definitely reorder. The positive news is they have quick delivery. The prices are reasonable as well. The crepe is more filling than it looks. I would put this place is at 4 stars and glad I tried it. I like the concept and next time I will try the sweet crepes.

The front of house was warm and welcoming, and our server was one of the best we've had all year. I wish I'd gotten his name, because he's a true pro and they're lucky to have him. The mussels were excellent, and the old fashioned cocktail was very well made. The accompanying bread was a letdown, though. It didn't taste homemade as mentioned, or at least it wasn't their best work. The entrées were where things went further south. The crab mafaldi looked and tasted like it had five times the capers it should have, and their brine seemed to have made its way into the whole dish. We couldn't get past the first bite. The snapper was a nice piece of fresh fish with a good sear, but it was overcooked and dry inside, and it had no salt. Our server and the kitchen kindly obliged when we asked to swap the pasta for the Wagyu burger, and they made another thoughtful gesture for the inconvenience. The burger was delicious and well executed. The special hand-cut fries they treated us to, unfortunately, had no salt at all. I'd planned to try the corn cheesecake, but after the entrées I wasn't in the mood for dessert. Still, the atmosphere is lovely and the potential is obvious, so we'll definitely be back.

Met a girlfriend here for a belated birthday dinner. Even though the restaurant opened about a year…read moreago, it was both of our first times here. We came on a Tuesday night, and the restaurant was very empty. Maybe it was the end of summer, the rainy weather, or simply a slower night, but there wasn't much of a crowd. It's also about five minutes away from all the restaurants on Newark Ave, so perhaps it doesn't get quite as much foot traffic. The restaurant itself is very pretty - neutral colors, high ceilings, and dim lighting make for a really charming atmosphere. Our server was friendly, thorough, and very chatty when walking us through the menu. I believe he was the only server for the entire restaurant, though, so it took quite a while for our drinks to arrive from the bar. Once we ordered our food, however, everything came out very quickly, almost so quickly that I wondered if some of the dishes had already been prepared and were simply waiting to be served. We decided to share four dishes. First was the ahi tuna aguachile. Our waiter described it as being similar to a tuna crudo, but it came out in small chunks, and I didn't really see or taste the mango. This was our least favorite dish of the night. The street corn croquettes were our second least favorite. They arrived lukewarm and didn't really deliver much in the way of street corn flavor. I think they could benefit from a drizzle of Mexican crema and a sprinkle of chili powder or Tajín to bring those flavors out more. Our favorite savory dish was the honey-miso ricotta toast. The flavors were really nice, although I wish the focaccia pieces were larger or that there were at least four instead of three. We also shared the gnocchetti sardi pasta which was just okay. It wasn't particularly flavorful and felt pretty average overall. At $27, I'd much rather have a homemade pasta at Corto. Our second favorite dish of the night was actually dessert. There were only three options, and we were initially on the fence about ordering anything, but I'm glad we went with the toasted marshmallow crème brûlée. It was delicious. Our server also generously comped the dessert after learning we were celebrating my birthday, which was a really nice and unexpected gesture. From the restaurant's website, it looks like the menu changes regularly, and I think there is a lot of potential here. The space is charming, the service was friendly, and there are some good ideas on the menu. Unfortunately, nothing we ate really wowed us, and there weren't any other dishes our waiter described that left us wishing we had ordered them. Overall, I'd give this place another try, especially if the menu continues to evolve. Hopefully we just caught them on a particularly slow night and the restaurant is doing better than the nearly empty dining room suggested. For now, though, this feels like a solid 3-star experience: great ambiance, friendly service, but food that was mostly just average.

The Ricotta Gnocchi came after about 15 minutes and was deliciously creamy, and cooked perfectly where it was both tender and provided a chewy texture which we found enjoyable. The portion was on the smaller side which we were informed by our server. It also looked very pretty as well! The duck breast and the faroe island salmon both came after another 20 minutes, which took quite a while since they weren't really that busy at the time. The duck breast was tender with a crispy skin that was paired deliciously with its cherry jus, so I highly recommend getting that! However, the salmon was overcooked and quite bland compared to the other two, which was quite disappointing and left us feeling hungry despite spending over 100 for 3 dishes. Although we enjoyed some of their selections, the high price tag did not really justify both the ricotta gnocchi appetizer-like portion, and the underwhelming and bland faroe island salmon. The Roxy has potential of being amazing, so I hope they take into consideration this review to continue to improve and change up their menu. Their menu is ever evolving, so they're definitely worth a visit if their updated menu appeals to you! Thank you for reading and best of luck! (:

He consistently let walk ins in before dealing with any reservations. We also paid 35 dollars in advance. Once I got up to the rooftop, I was informed I would have to wait longer as they were kicking people out of our table. I asked to speak with a manager and again was forced to wait 35 minutes and witnessed a hostess quit mid shift. I do want to note, while waiting in line, a kind security guard informed me that the manager was letting people in who were late to their reservation. For example, a couple came at 8:00 for their 7:15 reservation and were let in. This was a horrible experience and will never be back. I understand the craziness of the 4th of July but this could have been avoided. Do not spend your money here, there are plenty of amazing places in Jersey City. Check out District!

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.

Skinner's isn't going to win World's Best anything, but it's a solid neighborhood spot with big portions for decent prices. The Buttermilk Pancakes were large, fluffy and satisfying. My Croque Monsieur was perfectly crispy and loaded with delicious melted bechamel, gruyere and prosciutto. One of the tastiest Croque Monsieurs I've had, including the ones I enjoyed living in France, and certainly bigger than its Manhattan counterparts. The Crispy Shrimp & Bacon Sandwich was also a pleasant taste bomb of basil, dill & cucumber remoulade, tomatoes, and, of course, bacon. Bottom line: Skinner's offers a brunch that's tastier and more affordable than many NYC joints. When you're hungover on a Sat morning, this might be the best place for you.
