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.

On a Saturday evening there was quite a long wait for the patio but the 3 picnic tables outside were free and clear...perfect! 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.

Then we got a chicken sandwich and chicken tenders. The fries were way too salty. The service was okay the bartender's attention was with the bar they just had one person working the bar and being a waiter. The place was also very loud and not great for sitting and talking. 3.5/5

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.

There's no rush, nor should there be, you're with family, vibing to good music and eating great food. Everything there is prepared fresh and from scratch and you can taste it in every bite. I most recently did the brunch and the shrimp and grits were fantastic, plated beautifully and good portions. The sides are super affordable and allow for an array of options. My daughter loves the banana bread, I love the bacon and hash browns. This is also BYOB, which keeps a longer meal affordable. Service is nice, and they kind of keep to themselves as it's more about the food and the folks you're with. We've been 4 times and never had a bad experience, a great addition to the heights.

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.
