Maine Lobster Roll
Ellen L.

Got the Maine lobster roll (cold) and was delicious with plenty of plump lobster. Fast service, look forward to returning!

I had a great experience at this spot. They share a kitchen with the Light Horse tavern next door so there are some ideas ticks menu options but also some different items exclusive to their menu. The atmosphere is also a bit different. The lobster garage is more casual, serving food in baskets and paper serving plates with plastic utensils. It's very dog friendly with outdoor seating. You order at the bar area and get a buzzer. You pick up the food when the buzzer goes off. I had the market price Lobster with coleslaw, baked potato and drawn butter. It was so good. I also had the octopus salad and sha a basket of fries. i was stuffed. i also bought a bottlw of white wine for myself, only $24 bucks. I really enjoyed my time at this place! Check it out if you're in Jersey and enjoy the waterfront and the ferry back to the city!

A great spot for a casual lunch outside when it's warm! The shrimp tacos on their specials menu were delicious.

Crab cake, cheese burger and calamari

I always wanted to try this place but the overall experience was "eh". The "crispy" calamari was very far from crispy so I would probably update that name on the menu and an extremely small portion. The crab cake was decent but I expected more lump crab meat for the price / restaurant type. It was a bit bready. The best item we had was probably the cheese burger, which at a "lobster garage" probably shouldn't be the case. Probably wouldn't go back. The employees were very nice though.

For the imbibers their drinks menu too!

Just moving into the Paulus Hook area of Jersey City. A friend recommended the seafood here. While it's in what was probably a garage it's romantic grunge look w electric candles is charming. Having said that we did Take-out. The 3 of us ordered New England Clam Chowder which was maybe the best I've had in many years. A slightly smoky finish, not too creamy but just enough. Really nice! 2 of us got the lobster rolls, one buttered/toasted + one cold - I had the buttered + liked it, wasn't quite warm enough as there was my hubby's delivery delay but good portion of lobster + home made chips which while a bit soggy still hit the spot. Hubby had the Cuban sandwich which was Really Good. Lots of pork/ham + melted cheese. Surprised it was so good @ a seafood place. Came with a few yucca fries (could have used a few more fries) with a garlicky garlic sauce the Best! The Kale Caesar was average + decent. Shared their blueberry cobbler with fresh whipped cream. Very Good cobbler! Too hungry to take pics but am enclosing their menu. Couldn't find their full menu anywhere so called the restaurant + they pleasantly texted to me! The food was ready within 20 minutes as they said. All in all a very nice dinner!

Casual and trendy garage transformed seafood joint in Jersey city ! I got the lobster roll II (with butter) along with fish and chips. Lobster roll was quite tasty and they didn't skimp on butter. However, lobster meat was cold and not the usual warm butter lobster roll. Coleslaw, Tartar sauce, fish & chips were pretty good as well. Reasonable quantity but slightly on the pricier side. Fairly priced beer and wine along with good seafood. Their menu offers all the seafood favorites along with oysters. A great joint to visit during summer. Will definitely go there for another round before it's too cold to dine outdoors ;)

If it's 65 degrees or warmer, get the pina colada. You won't regret it! The fries are also really good (I think they put old bay on em)

We visited on a Saturday evening and started to leave soon after arriving because the downstairs…read morewas packed (not complaining, there was a great energy and people were having fun - it just wasn't what we were looking for). As we were walking out, the host/person checking IDs at the front was incredibly kind and asked us if it was just the two of us because there was space upstairs (we didn't know that was an option!) I am so thankful to them because we were able to enjoy some of the best cocktails I've ever had. The staff was incredible - they checked in with us throughout the evening, explained the menu and gave excellent recommendations. We started with their old fashioned drinks (Lock and Key and the ash and molasses) - both were excellent. After that I tried the psycho killer (a whiskey drink with cacao nib campari, roasted banana and absinthe) - I have had absinthe in a Sazerac before, but this drink was unique and truly special. We couldn't help but get one more to share before leaving -- the Belfast Bred, a cold brew drink with a delicious cream on top. We didn't order food on this visit, but everything looked great. Highly recommend stopping here for some of the best cocktails you'll ever have.

We jumped over to the bar right beside and drank some girly drinks before getting the notification our table was ready. As with nearly every establishment in NYC, it is very close quarters in paradise lost. We stood at a table while waiting for seats at the bar to become available. Which, we didn't mind. I could see how this might be a little harder to get a seat for a bigger group if you aren't there before 6. It seemed that once a group got a big table, they camped out. The drinks were strong and creative. Friendly bartenders, good music, and yummy options for bar snacks. Also, the bathroom is a nice touch. Given the hell theming for the bar, the bathroom is a 180 and while using the Lou, you can listen to the bible being recited. Theres also a spooky surprise if you press the button in the bathroom. Speaking of the bathroom, it is at the bottom of some decently narrow stairs. So, try and stay sober enough for stairs or you may fall. Go to this bar. You will have fun.

That's a good thing to be very strong for that price I'm paying. The spam musubi was also a rip-off. You see two here, but each one costs its own $10, so save your money. Eat somewhere else. Eat a pizza across the street.

I didn't realize I was stumbling into a speakeasy. Password is enforced, but easily accessible! I found myself walking into a basement, and before me was a small sex shop equipped with toys, Playboy magazines, and tapes.... LOL after the host verified the password and welcomed me in, I was prompted to go into a curtain and walk through a bookcase. The space is so fun! I loved the decorations and the lights - it was giving a very fun, silly, 80s vibe. All the tables seemed to be reserved at the time, so I sat at the bar. Service was kind, friendly, and quick! I ordered a couple of drinks and the Happiest Meal, which is basically an adult Happy Meal. It comes with a small 80s toy, a cocktail of your choice, and food. I ordered the fish tacos along with the Eye of the Tiger cocktail. The bartender was really nice and explained how the space used to be a peep show in the 80s, which is why they leaned into the bit when opening the speakeasy. And there are brunch specials and karaoke sing-alongs on the weekends, and later in the night, a DJ comes in. What a surprise - I have to come back!

This spot was a cool place for gathering. It's a dark inside atmosphere, almost like a club, but not too loud either. Speakeasy's are the hip new thing for a bit now, and this 80's themed one didn't disappoint. They kept the jams going, and got the drinks out fast, & there was plenty of space to sit too.

Tell the bartender what flavors and spirits you're in the mood for, and let them work their magic. I gravitated toward whisky-based, chocolate, and fruit-forward cocktails, and every single one was phenomenal. My husband stuck to Old Fashioned- and Manhattan-style drinks, and those delivered too. The bartender absolutely nailed our preferences, crafting delicious cocktails tailored to our individual tastes. Getting in is part of the experience: knock on the door, and they'll let you know if there's a spot available or add you to the waitlist. We visited on a weeknight around 8:30 PM and waited barely five minutes. I'll be coming back every single time I'm in NYC. Exceptional bartending, personalized cocktails, and an experience that genuinely lives up to the hype. Do not miss Attaboy!

I didn't know what to expect but I loved the Broadway show and I'm always down for immersive events. So I arrived at the Press Room and saw that there was a bar with a couple of tables surrounding it. It seems to be where the kitchen is for all the wonderful food that Alamo provides during the in-dining movie experience. I had to approach the bartender to find out where exactly this party was and he instructed me to look beyond the large curtain to the side just as if I were searching for the Wizard of Oz. As I tugged myself behind the curtain, I walked into a decent-sized room and with balloons and the words, "Welcome to Emerald City" in the front of the room with a DJ playing today's hits and of course, songs from the Wizard Broadway show. At first, I thought this was going to be a dance party but soon realized that it was going to be a craft party instead. There was a station for making your own broom, one to make a friendship bracelet, and another one for letter writing along with sealed wax to use on the envelope with different stamps. I sipped away an Old-Fashioned in my souvenir Wicked cup while singing along to the Wicked soundtrack and making a friendship bracelet for my daughter. This experience was relaxing and joyful so now I know my type of party consists of a craft night. Close to the end of the night, I participated in a Wicked costume contest. I lost but nevertheless, I had a good time. Ended the night with an order of burger before heading home to show off my creations. I can't wait to check out their other events and come here again!
