Buddy's ended up being one of those happy accidents. We stopped in for brunch after finding that…read moreseveral other places were closed, and it exceeded our expectations. 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.

Came here for brunch as we heard a lot of good reviews from people in the neighborhood…read more Very family-like environment when you are served. 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.

I had to come here and show Nicks some appreciation after going to a terrible breakfast spot and…read morewishing I had went to Nicks instead. Before I even go into talking about the food, I want to say the customer service here is exceptional. The lady who serves the food and takes the orders is such a sweet heart and will run to make sure you get everything you want quickly. Every staff member there is very pleasant and always smiling. Most breakfast spots now are super overpriced for no good reason, yeah we know eggs are expensive but be for real. Even with the price hike here our meals for 2 with 2 snapple went from $24 to $28 which is extremely reasonable. The portions here are also very generous for the price, hard to find nowadays. The food is always good and served piping hot. The home fries are a favorite of mine being that they're super flavorful and made with onions and peppers. The eggs are always made right, not overdone. I really can't complain about anything here. You get a platter with home fries, eggs, protein and toast for $12 give or take which is a steal in this economy. The food tastes home cooked which is a plus in my book ( I don't care for IHOP style breakfast for example lol) Now if you're looking for an IG worthy place then you probably won't like this place as it's very no frills, it has old school looking diner feel that hasn't been updated in decades. However if you want great prices, customer service and food I def recommend the place. You can always order to go if you don't care for the ambiance (or lack thereof) I do want to add that it is a cash only spot, which is probably my only complaint as I like to use Apple Pay but it is worth stopping at an ATM for. They also have an ATM in store if you don't mind using those kind of ATMs.

Eggs, bacon, hash browns, coffee and toast. It's hard to mess up. This local coffee shop delivers…read morejust that. This place is family run and has been here for decades. It's also a place where the owners and the locals know each other's names. It's also no frills and cash only. Street parking is available.

Great food at this sweet little cafe in the McGinley Square neighborhood…read more Nice to find this spot located near the Beacon - breakfast options were delicious and prepared with love & care My son had the breakfast sandwich and it was good size for a 12 year old - good value too! The sausage gravy and biscuits that I ordered was also very good. The bagel with lox was another good option for our table. Altogether the service was great and we didn't have long to wait before food was in front of us - definitely up for returning for a meal on our next trip to Jersey City!

The food was not up to the standard that I was expecting. The presentation was lacking, the flavor…read morecombination was amiss, and the poached eggs were overcooked. Perhaps a drizzle of hollandaise sauce would have helped elevate the flavor and make the presentation more appealing. At some point, they ran out of glasses for the mimosas and brought them out in regular white wine glasses. I noticed some employees arguing and one of them was saying that he was going to speak to the higher-ups. In summary, there won't be a repeat visit.

Super popular for a reason, but oh so very difficult to get a reservation. Earliest spot we were…read moreable to secure was for a 2pm brunch. We got the pancakes and breakfast sandwich. The pancakes are some of the best I've ever had. So fluffy and light soaked in the sweet butter syrup. To die for. I felt like the breakfast sandwich was kind of a flop, I felt like it was missing a sauce to it and it just felt like items smacked together, nothing innovative. Overall crowded and busy for such a tiny space, but I still love coming here.

We came here for their famous 'Honey Butter Pancakes' . We got here for brunch and the wait list…read morewas for already an hour wait. We weren't in a hurry and we found a seat bench around the corner. They do not offer seats to wait either. The restaurant was small inside but they had enough outdoor seating. I recommend eating inside, if you can. The restaurant is by the Brooklyn bridge and when the subway passes on the bridge and it's like every five minutes, it's soooo loud!!!! It's almost annoying and hard to hear yourself so this would not be a good date if you sat outside. You won't hear each other. We didn't order much but we had coffee, Korean fried chicken and a double stack of their honey butter pancake with berries on top. I have to say how disappointed I was on their Korean fried chicken. It was heavily coated with breading and smothered in sauce. It had a fire kick to it. It was not unbearable. It had ok flavors only but what could you expect from this type of restaurant. Service was ok. So my stars are only for the pancakes. It was delicious! Nothing else I have tasted before. So if you are not here for a date and just to eat, I would give it a try. [45R,2026]

12/5/25: Stopped in the New Park Tavern before a recent college basketball game…read more Place is very cozy with a nice warm fireplace. Basically, you order at a bar and you bring it over to a table. The food menu is quite limited. I posted a menu picture. We ordered beer and wine, two hamburgers and a Turkey BLT with fries. The Tavern is known for their hamburgers. Food is just fair. My turkey BLT was okay. Fries could've been much better. I had a taste of the burger. It was pretty good. Only after we ate, a server did come by for drink orders. The Tavern has a very nice outdoor garden seating area for the warmer weather. Basically, I think this place is just best to stop in for a few drinks. A small, very tight parking lot is available. In addition, street parking is available but be prepared to walk a distance.

Wow, wow, wow! Had not been there since it had been rebuilt. Was surprised on how big it was now…read more Has a very cool vibe and a few different rooms. Our waiter Vladimir was top-notch!!! I can't say enough about him. He made our experience absolutely fantastic. The disco fries were HUGE and came with a large side of gravy. I like that they didn't put the gravy on the fries so they wouldn't get soggy. We also got a turkey club which was perfect and blueberry pancakes. You also start out with fresh delicious homemade bread. We were full but ordered cheesecake cake and chocolate cake to take home. We were so impressed how much all of the staff really hustled! The bathrooms were nice as well and offered mints and mouthwash. Great experience. Especially our server. Bravo!!!

It was one of the best breakfasts we've had, and the portions were huge! We sat outside, and the atmosphere was beautiful. Each table has its own umbrella, which made the outdoor seating comfortable without the sun beating down on us. Our server was an absolute sweetheart. She took the time to chat with us, answered all of our questions, and gave great recommendations when I couldn't decide between two dishes. The food came out quickly, and the service was excellent from start to finish. We'll definitely be back!

We are visiting and looking for a "locals" place with good food and atmosphere…read more We got that and more. Francis the Chef/Host chatted us up especially my Kids. We all exchanged stories about where we are from and what we are doing. The staff took great care of us while Francis and crew whipped up the most delicious food. French Toast out of this World, Biscuit and Gravy from heaven!!! Hit this Jersey locale up for any meal if you can get in this cozy city hole in the wall!

Had a fun time here for a weekend brunch. Waited just about 5-10 minutes before we got our table…read more Inside, we got entertained by someone may be the owner or someone who's been there for a long while. Alongside my cold brew, I ordered a weekend special, which was the creamy spinach omelette. It was really good. The sourdough bread was also good and not too heavy. My fiancée got the Weekender with vegan sausage. It came out pretty well. The vegan sausage didn't feel like your typical frozen fake meat. The egg whites were a nice touch too. Overall a very satisfying brunch and I'd return again.
