Veggie burger
Sara G.

This bar has a cool divey feel with some intimate tables in the back. Our server was quick and friendly with our drinks and food. The playlist when we was decidedly early 00s emo which I loved. Veggie burger was good, we removed some of the guac to eat on the side. Fries were hot and crispy with an amazing chipotle aioli. I also had the spiked sage lemonade which was fresh and sweet.

Kale Caesar salad w/ blacken salmon
Danielle G.

It's been awhile since I've been back here. Still a chill bar with good quality bar food. I really enjoy their Kale Caesar salad. But I must say the cost when adding the blacken salmon is pricey, considering the piece of salmon is not that big. It's a shame to get a salad w/ protein cost so much these days. Also their kids Mac and cheese, my little friend enjoyed. But for the cost $13.20, might as well bought the adult version for $2 more.

We are here twice in the one week we were in JC. The bang bang shrimp was so good we each got our own order on our second visit. My husband had burgers both times and they were excellent. On my first visit I had grilled chicken on a salad, the chicken had absolutely no seasoning. My second visit I had the salmon burger and it was very good. Service is a bit slow for lunchtime.

White Star Bar is cool little bar/restaurant in Jersey City near my daughter's apartment. It was very busy on a Sunday night with an interseting mix of young people and families. The place has a welcoming neighbourhood feel. White Star Bar is known for their burgers. I ordered the White Star burger, which was pretty basic in terms of toppings. This was a solid burger but darn, did that thing come alive with flavor when their house made BBQ sauce was added that comes on the side. This is some seriously good BBQ sauce and my party of three were all thinking of a way to get more sauce home. I just decided to lick it out of the cup, (kidding) but order any thing at White Star with this sauce. You won't be sorry. The sweet potato fries were good also, crispy and not too much salt. White Star has other items besides burgers, actually there are a lot of choices surprisingly on the menu. We also had the Spaghetti Squash and Quinoa Walnut Salad, Both were excellent. Being a bar, White Star has a nice selection of Cocktails, Beer and Wines naturally. Service was very good all night, even with the space pretty much full. 4.5 Yelp Stars, 10 Stars for the BBQ sauce. If your looking for American comfort food in a cozy settining in Jersey City, I highly recommend White Star.

Came here with a friend before seeing a concert at White Eagle Hall over a month ago, definitely a good decision. Food: ended up getting one of the many delicious burgers I have heard about and it was easily the best decision in my life. The El Camino burger literally changed my life and I would recommend this to anyone. Aesthetic: did not step inside so I have no opinion about it haha Service: waitress was very nice, but service was very slow at times.

White Star Burger w/ avacado and mushrooms + Truffle Fries
Amy H.

I got the white star burger, add avocado and mushrooms + a Kane head high IPA. Quality/taste: BEST BURGERS I'VE EVER HAD. This is one of my fav places to get a burger + beer. The Pat Lafreida meat is so good and fresh. They ask you how your burger done (which is uncommon) and it's cooked perfectly juicy. The bread is perfectly soft. The toppings choices are always great. I LOVE the truffle fries - always good especially with the chipotle sauce dip. Every time I've been, the food has been consistently delicious and filling. Beer is always crisp and good temperature. Service: Quick and very nice staff! We were greeted and served immediately upon entering. Our drink orders were taken quickly after sitting down. We didn't have to wait long at all for drinks or food. Our server was really attentive and made sure we were happy throughout the entire visit. Environment: Clean, quaint, cozy. I've been to both the white star locations. Both are consistent with their cozy and vintage-y feel. We came on a Sunday night and it wasn't too busy or noisy. This location is kind of in a residency neighborhood. Found parking right in front of the door. Price: $$ Burgers are around $15~ on average. There is a decent selection of different burgers or you can create your own. All the burgers are loaded! Kind of expensive for a burger but it's really good and worth it! I will always come back. It's always a treat and great meal when I go to white star. Can't wait to come back!

Fried Pickle Burger + Mac n' Cheese Beer: Carton boat + allagash
Rosalie C.

My boyfriend and I spent our Sunday afternoon here sitting at the bar watching the footballs games. We started with the nachos, a Kane Head High and a Hard Sage Lemonade. The nachos weren't fancy but they were tasty and hit the spot. My boyfriend liked the beer and my cocktail was simple but really good. To eat he had a fried pickle burger with a Carton Boat and I had the Mac and cheese with an Allagash White. The burger was good and the fries were really tasty. The Mac and cheese could have been more flavorful but it did the job. He liked the Carton Boat and I thought the Allagash White was just ok. My boyfriend got a Troegd Sunshine Pilsner and then another Carton Boat and I had the Down Easter Cider. Wow this cider is reallly good! Service behind the bar was great. Food came out fast and bartender was quick to ask if we wanted another drink. White Star Bar is a nice local restaurant/bar. The drink and food menu aren't huge but there's a decent selection for a local place. A great place to hangout.

a sandwich and french fries
Sara S.

Review for delivery/pickup only. They use pat la Frieda meat which is usually a positive sign for quality eats. White Star bar is no exception! Their burgers are great and they offer a bunch of creative concoctions. Burrata on a burger? Yes please. If you're gluten free their bun is legit. It had me wondering if it was actually GF since it was so tasty. I wish they had a dedicated fryer for fries, but they let you swap them out for the house salad or veggies which is a win in my book. When we called they let us know what was safe and what wasn't. I'll definitely have to give them a try in person for a drink and update this review.

Mimosa
Itatis B.

I absolutely love this spot! I come here for lunch sometimes and I love the staff here. they are super friendly! I had the Pulled Pork Grilled cheese and a few Mimosas my last time there, and I fell in love. the pork was so tender and well seasoned, the sauce was so sweet and tangy. the fries are so crispy and flavorful ugh it was like a flavor explosion. this was my first time having a mimosa and i was very pleased.

Food and bloody mary
Ashley G.

Okay so this was really fine, nice and quality meat although I like another place better because it was juicy. Nonetheless, quality over juicy anytime (sometimes). I was given the option if I wanted a bottled blood mary or just made so I got mine made at the bar, to go of course. But we did not like it at all. We LIKE bloody Mary's but this place does not do well with that. But they're a burger place so they excel in that. They get their meat from Pat La Frieda the local favorite. Oh boy, just typing about it is making me drool. Pat La Frieda meat is delicious. Ours was medium done. The buffalo cauliflower were really good appetizer :). The downside was that the fried pickle burger came with three fried pickles :( but it was still good. The portobella burger was neat. Now these burgers were BIG! We finished half of our burgers and finished the rest for our next meal. I will definitely come back. They also have outdoor seating which is prime because you're not surrounded by or any other busy establishments nearby. However you get the buger, just indulge it.

Wish I could upload videos to my review but WOW. Second time coming here and I am obsessed! We have such a great server who was so sweet! I ordered drinks and the triple burger and MAN.. that burger is INSANE. I love this spot so much! Not to mention great lighting for selfies

Came across this spot for a quick lunch. I ordered online, the crispy chicken sandwich with french fries and it came to $14.93. When I arrived there was no parking so had to park illegally and hop out. The bar and grill had indoor and outdoor seating. I was greeted by the server and he grabbed my food and I left. When I got in I tried the meal and the fries and sandwich was tasty. The slaw they had with it went well together. I will definitely return to try more.

Smoke and cocoa (mezcal (damn) it's amazing !

My second time here and a first for my friends We started with the crudo and the whipped ricotta and the carpaccio for me the whipped ricotta was amazing with the date syrup and the olive oil and the carrots gave it a perfect crunch I hope they never change it I had the Lumache omg what can I say but it was simply amazing so delicious my friend had the Mafaldine another amazing dish it had a smoky taste to it that was so yummy and my other friend had the special dish of the day which was the black bass fish she loved it We also tried the tiramisu which was a little dry for my taste but we also tried the Lemon Olive Oil Cake which in my opinion should be called Limoncello Cake because it has a very profound taste of lemon which reminds me of limoncello lol it was super moist and delicious a must try!

Only issue we had was we were asked if we wanted a bread refill for the Whipped Ricotta and we didn't know it's cost $5 which surprised us a bit on the check. Ambiance (5/5): Nice interior ambiance and super well designed restaurant. We walked by many times and got drawn by the beautiful interior which is why we came. Classy and nice vibe.

My prior reviews are under MP. When we first came into the Feathered Fox, the atmosphere appeared to have a much more sexy deeper color vibe, than previous years. Today, Damian was our wonderful server. Here it begins with Cocktails! 18.00 each: - Friend in the Meadow w/ Titos (Birdie glass with feathers). It had a lovely, welcoming and enjoyable sweetness. - Pineapple Grill with Casamigos Meczal. Tasted exactly like a mildly grilled sweet pineapple with suddenly a Kick! Entree Time! I ordered the Wagyu Steak and Scrambled Eggs $38.00. The steak was off the charts delicious. A side of lightly seasoned Foxy Fries accompanied the meal. All the items were prepared and seasoned beautifully. My Bf ordered the French Toast $19.00. It was made out of Chocolate Babka with maple infused syrup. He really enjoyed it. Dessert Finale! We shared a super delicious Lemon Olive Oil Cake $14.00. Toasted Meringue topped the cake. The cake was dense, but still moist and Very Lemony. Highly Recommend!!!! All throughout our meal, someone was coming around filling our water glasses. Definitely recommend The Feathered Fox! A large parking lot is available.

TLDR: Haven't rated anything on Yelp for a while, but the Feathered Fox deserves a shout-out…read more Highly recommend to try. Great food portions and price, ambiance and service. Would rate an overall solid 4.5 but since not available gets a 5 . We can't wait to go back with family/friends or just by ourselves to try the porterhouse next. Got diverted to Jersey City while searching for a restaurant for anniversary date night and ran across the Feathered Fox, and we were blown away. Damian did a great job taking care of us all night , and manager checked-in on our dining experience which was appreciated. Great in house signature cocktail selection. We loved every drink we had. Had the calamari for a starter. Too much breading for our paritcular taste, but can stand alone without the dipping sauce. Overall 7/10. We ordered the Ribeye which was the star of the show 10/10. Perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned, absolutely delicious. We ordered sauces to go with the steak but did not need it at all. Also ordered: * Scallops - Good sized scallops. We would have preferred a better sear, but was still good. Comes on a bed of delicious leeks and spaetzle. * Sides of mushrooms and Brussels sprouts. Desserts were delicious. Ordered the black out cake, scoop of apple cider, and to-go carrot cake.

The drinks were good and the food was absolutely amazing. I had the steak tacos and flautas as appetizer and I would definitely come back I'm doing 4 stars though because our server was very argumentative and made our experience a little uncomfortable. The drinks took a long time to come and he took very long time to come to our table even for entrees and desserts. I first order El jefe and it was alright didn't impress me but it wasn't bad. My problem and disappointment came when I order a coconut Mezcalita with no agave. The first mezcalita was AMAZING. I ordered another one and just asked the server to switch the black salt for tajin. The server took the drink back 3 times and brought the same drink each time. I'm a bartender, the drink was regular tequila and not mezcal. The third time they pour some mezcal on it but did not even shake it. Also I knew it was the same drink because I licked some of the tajin and you can see it was the same cup. What really made me feel offended is the fact that I told him I know my drinks and he had the audacity to tell me "after too many drinks you won't differentiate the taste" now this was really offensive because I am a bartender and this was only my 3rd drink. I ended up asking a manager and he solved the problem. Other than this experience I would definitely return. I recommend coming I think is worth it and the food was absolutely amazing. El queso fundido was great , the regular guac lacked flavor but it was good and the tortillas felt homemade. Great desserts

I actually wanted to update my review. The first time I went, I ended up feeling sick afterward. I…read morewasn't sure if it was from Meximodo, so I didn't mention it in my original review. However, I returned yesterday and unfortunately felt sick again shortly after eating. This time we tried the brunch taco tray, which I thought was a really cool concept. We ordered birria and steak tacos, and each order came with 3 tacos. We happened to get two orders of birria, which is why there are 6 in the photo, but you can mix and match however you'd like. I also want to mention that our waitress was amazing -- extremely kind, respectful, and attentive. The vibes and atmosphere are always great. My only complaint is that the food seems to upset my stomach. That said, just because it made me sick does not mean: A) the food wasn't tasty, because it definitely was, or B) that you'll have the same experience. This was simply my personal experience, and I genuinely hope others have a better one. I'll also add that while the food is good, there are many other Mexican restaurants out there that feel more authentic.
