Made my first visit to this place tonight. Had a couple beers and pulled pork sliders with fries. My friend had chicken nachos. Everything was tasty, the service was prompt and cordial, and the vibe was great. Every neighborhood needs a couple places like this. This place, though, needs to discover air conditioning. I'll definitely be back, but not until October. read more

For Jersey City Heights, although the area is up and coming, you would not expect a place like this. It's a smaller bar with a few booth tables and a standing table in the middle. It's a great spot if you're coming up from the light rail in Hoboken on the elevator and heading home. Written on the wall are a few specialty drinks and my boyfriend's eye went straight to for the Mod Fashion; a twist on the classic bourbon drinks. He loved every drop. We both ordered the Cajun spiced burger that came with hand cut fries. I was worried that the Cajun seasoning would be too much but it added just the right amount of flavor and the sweet bun balanced out the spice. This place is definitely worth the walk or cab ride up to the heights, and there is a nice park near by to walk off the burger and view the NYC skyline read more

Best bar in the heights, if not in Jersey City. Burgers are amazing; staff (shouts to Dan and Melissa) is kind and attentive; music, both live and the Pandora/Spotify stations they choose, are incredible (I heard They Might Be Giants, REM, and Guided by Voices in the same hour--a rarity, tbh, to hear good music in the bro-infested Hoboken/Heights area). I have almost no negative criticism to offer. read more

Excellent food and great drinks. The nachos, burgers and boneless wings are superb. The industrial design is very cool. Will be coming back here whenever I'm in the area! read more

Just finished a great dinner. I had the amazing crab burger, while my husband had the black bean burger. Both came with the most fabulous fries, huge crispy and delicious. We had a really nice jersey city craft ipa. Our waitress/bartender is wonderful, friendly and very hard working. We will be back, really like this place read more

Easily my favorite restaurant/bar in Jersey City. Cool atmosphere, friendly staff, extensive beer-wine-cocktail menu. The yummy food and huge portions is a big plus! If you haven't been, definitely check it out read more

As a musician and music fan and long time Jersey City Heights resident, I have been saddened by the dearth of real music venues - so it is with great joy that I reccomend Fox and Crow. Kudos to Margo Parks for her booking performers who take the music seriously - but not themselves,for example Anthony Tamburro ,whose joy and humor never got in the way of his original compositions shining brightly or the well chosen covers.... The server- Dan was warm ,and although crazy busy - never lost his cool- and was gracious to all- and although I don't usually eat after 6pm, I did have their hand cut fries - and they were wonderful.... I'll be back....... read more

Pluses and minuses, I don't think I'll be back anytime soon. Truth is I was considering a 2 star review but again, pluses and minuses so I'm going with 3 stars. Simple take is that its a better bar than restaurant and they have some staffing issues that I think are a direct reflection of ownership...and not in a good way. If the owner is reading this (and I highly doubt they take any time to read Yelp reviews) then please know I am not exaggerating nor getting self righteous or mean spirited on this post. We walked in on a slow and chilly Saturday afternoon for lunch and were impressed with the small dining area. Nicely put together in a fun off beat funky novel manner. I commented on how much i liked the wall-paper. The drink menu was very interesting as was they brunch menu....we wound up asking for and ordering off their lunch menu as would turn out. The bar tender was a super friendly young guy with thick beard and long hair. A very nice smile and up beat personality, he made some lovely drinks too. We wound up having a bean burger sandwich and a fried chicken cutlet sandwich. Both came out after a small wait but we had no cutlery....which soon followed. The bean burger was tasty and were really happy with it. The chicken sandwich, not so much. It was under-seasoned and quite honestly it was at mere room temperature. The thin cutlet was overwhelmed by the bun and simply failed to impress at all. I was a bit let down. The waitstaff handled it well and i quickly asked for a basic burger and continued to munch on my fries.....which now a couple hours later I wish I hadn't. So about the fries; Gordon Ramsey says over and over the key to french fried potatoes is uniformity of the cut because if they are not uniformly cut they they come out over fried and under fried. The slices of potato dont fry at the same rate when they are sloppily prepared. I also suspect the frier was not hot enough because they absorbed too much oil. Gordon Ramsey's words, not mine. But true indeed the fries were sloppy, oily, and heavy. The burger came out eventually and it was fine. Thats all, tasted fine. So we're getting ready to leave but strike up an enjoyable conversation with the bar tender asking questions about different drinks etc and an old couple come walking in carrying supplies of some sort. The man walks back in the kitchen and the old woman comes back behind the bar with out greeting anyone. The owners I figured. So while we're chatting with the bar tender the older woman who I am guessing is the owner is fussing about behind the bar, taking visual inventory, looking displeased, fussing about some more, critical stares at the bar tender, the bar, the shelf of liquors etc. We sort of acknowledged to the bar tender that she was back there and he turned to address her and she just starting asking him questions, giving him direction again not with the friendliest tone about her. And poof, just like that our rather enjoyable conversation was over. Done, gone, buh-bye, dont let the door hit you on the way out, OVAH! I found it rather rude they she'd just walking in, kill the mood, not acknowledge a single customer and literally interrupt a conversation we're having with her bar tender. It was just damn strange and something I have never seen before. So much of the restaurant business is show business and making your guests feel welcomed and comfortable. Whoever this woman was could do well to respect that in my opinion. So in short, funky decor, great bar, interesting menu poorly executed and not a fun inviting gracious environment that I am eager to revisit anytime soon. read more

Wonderful addition to the JC heights neighborhood. Drinks are great and fairly priced and their burgers are delicious. The Cajun Burger- soo good- fries are great also. After being there several times, I see they are loosing some customers though, due to being understaffed on busy nights. One bartender and a bus boy can't handle that whole space alone, despite how friendly and experienced they may be. I hope they work out the kinks to speed up service- I want this place here to stay! read more

A great new addition to the Heights. Great atmosphere, cool, mellow crowd, live music some nights... BUT, it has the worst wine imaginable. For God's sake, get some decent wine! read more

Small hidden gem on palisades in the heights. Delicious burgers and cocktails. Decent beer list and service is great. The California club and Cajun spice burgers are my favorite. Fries have a great taste as well. They also make a delicious Moscow mule. Definitely worth a trip! read more

The cajun spice burger was amazing had the perfect amount of sauce and I had burger was cooked medium. The hand cut fries were pretty good however they were too large and lacked the crispiness and salt needed to make it really pop. Also the serving size was bigger than I would've expected. For the price of the burger it was amazing read more

I have had a veggie burger here - it fell apart, but it was so good, I forgave it. I enjoy the clientele, the bartenders are always attentive and considerate to all who walk in. The drinks are well priced and they have a couple of jewels with their beer selection which made me happy. I have not experienced the backroom with live music and such. that will have to happen very soon, I hear good things. read more

Nice friendly bartender measured the sly fox to perfection. The place has a nice personal touch to it and there is something for everyone here... Didn't have food but drinks were great. They have some of the best jersey beers here Kane, Carton, Departed Soles... And they modcup in a cocktail form !!! read more

See all

Nice vibe. Arrived during happy hour and enjoyed a Departed Soles IPA (or two). For an early dinner, I ordered their delicious black bean burger w/ avocado (accompanied by fries). Then, off to the Live at the Lumberyard concerts (which they help sponsor) down the street. Didn't come back for the after-party this time, but might the next! read more

It's like a one of those hidden gems places. It's a really nice place to hangout and drink. The ambiance is unique. The music is not that loud, so you can sit and actually talk or work on your future novel. You won't get bored here. Even the bartender will entertain you. read more

I was stuck between 3 and 4 stars but ultimately went with 4 for friendly service and quality of food. We went on a Saturday evening and there were plenty of tables open. The bartender immediately came to our table and we ordered a beer and San Pellegrino Limonata. We were brought the correct beer but a large bottle of sparkling San Pellgrino water instead of the can of Limonata. We told them we wanted to share the beet salad to start and then the Cajun burger without tomato cut in half. Beet salad came out first and it was tasty and a nice portion to share. This would fill up someone for a full meal. Then they brought out the burger with the tomato we asked omitted and not cut in half as requested. Burger was good- cooked medium as asked and the beef was good quality and needed no extra seasoning. The fries that came with it needed salt (which didn't come on table) and included a mix of delicious fries and overcooked fries. Service was extremely friendly and quick, despite the mistakes. Prices were a little steep for the neighborhood and music was a bit loud for 5pm. Look forward to trying out their brunch menu. read more

As soon as I walked into the place and heard Talking Heads "This Must Be The Place" I was sold. The music was all my faves and it was a really cute new little bar! The Fox and Crow has a great beer selection and I was pleasantly surprised with the food. I went for the Classic Burger and it was actually a really good burger. I would love if they had a couple of healthier options but I can't complain, this place will definitely be our new local. I also enjoyed the taxidermy fox and crow and I love a good bathroom. 5 stars for the future of Jersey City Heights. My only suggestion would be, a more extensive wine list and more of a range of cocktails. read more

Came here during St. Patrick's Day weekend with my fiancé so I can't really comment on their menu. They do serve Crabbies, an alcoholic ginger beer, which I loved. Atmosphere is kind of swanky and the bar is small, but comfortable. Would come back again. read more

Great vibe and atmosphere. Have only been once for brunch but plan to return to sample their further offerings. The brunch menu was standard fare with a signature twist. Despite the more adventurous dishes I decided to keep it simple with the the hamburger which, with it's blend of unique flavors, was a step above. If I had any criticism it'd be the burger was so stuffed it broke apart in my hand (however my girlfriend decided to cut her's in half which made it more manageable so perhaps that would be a way to mitigate it). Fries were a wide cut, typically I prefer a thinner cut fry but these were crispy so I happened to really enjoy them despite their size! Atmosphere and presentation was top notch as well, furthermore the service was efficient and friendly. Our mimosas were garnished with an orange twist and each refill was received in fresh glasses with garnish, it seems like many brunch places just fill up your dirty old glass I didn't realize what a difference a fresh glass makes! It looks and feels like a bar so my initial though when I walked in was that this was just a bar that wanted to be a restaurant. With live music, brunch and a full menu it seems like they don't know what they want to be, however I sense this is a deliberate and thoughtful choice. The food and service can sustain and it is in a transitional neighborhood and with limited options so it's a welcome all encompassing hangout that should establish itself as a staple of the area! DAN APPROVED! read more

Fox has the best burgers around, flavorful and juicy. The fires are hand cut and crispy, and the drinks are just ok.

I was at this cute little spot last night and I am happy to report that it is a great addition to my neighborhood! Besides the smell of moth balls or urinal cakes the bar is trendy and cozy with it's dim lighting. Small menu but good selection of beers! I had the Classic burger which was juicy and tasty. Food menu ranges between $12-14 for burgers and salads. Cocktails for about $10-12. I think this could be a wee bit too much for the area but it is the face lift the heights needs so I say welcome Fox and Crow! read more

Went once. Already my favorite. I have yet to find a place with my two loves, Allagash White and 90 Minute IPA. read more

This is an awesome place. Friendly and attentive staff. Beer selection is on point, its nice they have a steady selection but also have crafts that they switch out. Food is delicious too. I havent had anything bad from here, Wings, pull pork, nachos, and burgers all amazing. The one thing keeping this from a 5 star is that they dont do call in orders. They will do carry out but you have to be there to order read more

The place is unique. The food is Amazing. I recommend the seared tuna and crabby patty! Great flavors and perfect portion. Great local spot and definitely a place to come back for these dishes ! read more

Great cocktails, food, ambience... and live music! The live music is in a back room, so if you're not feeling live music you can stay in the front bar (but you should check out the live music!). This is the perfect casual neighborhood bar. read more

We ate dinner here for Mother's Day. The black bean burger was absolutely delicious! The fries are to die for. Can't wait to go back!

I have been here 3 times and want so desperately to like this place. Even with my continually lowered expectations, Fox and Crow Disappoints. Brunch: It's summer, friends, put on the AC and close the door. Maybe the staff was cranky from the heat, but aside from a college age blonde lady, everyone was rude like it was their profession. I asked for a refill of coffee and was stared down by a stocky bartender. The Bloody Mary was good, but over priced. The portion was large but nothing special. I left hot and overly full. Late night: I came with some bartender friends who were attempting to engage our lone bartender on an empty weekday night. He wasn't feeling social. The drinks are decent, but not worth the aggravation. Dinner: I had a burger, it was barely ok. I asked questions about the drinks on the board and then bartender suggested I have something basic. Either he doesn't like or know the specialty cocktails or he wasn't in the mood to work that hard. The atmosphere is so nice and it seems like the drinks would be great, but overall, I am always left feeling like I am wasting my time and money. I will never go back, regardless of who I am with. read more

I have been to Fox and Crow a few times now, and from what I can tell, they have improved on a solid foundation. Recently decided to meet a friend for a quick bite and a few drinks in the Heights and chose the Corkscrew. I found a seat at the bar and sat there 10 minutes being absolutely ignored by the bartender, so when my friend arrived we left ASAP and walked to the Fox and Crow. Ahhh, Wow! what a difference! it was serene and calm and what a difference. We were so pleased to have escaped from a zoo and landed in the perfect spot! We each got the Old Blue burger with blue cheese and bacon marmalade, and the Negroni for two. I swear this was the best burger I have had in years. It was pure perfection. So juicy and tasty, and the bacon marmalade was to die for...the hand cut fries were everything you want a fry to be. The Negroni was served in a very cute little glass pitcher and was prepared to perfection. Very, very civilized. I have had the burger and fries before and it was always good, but this one hit perfection. I really hope this wasnt a fluke and Fox and Crow maintains this standard! read more

Loved the live music lounge that hosts artists on weekends. A little hipster-ish with its fancy IPA's but it's a great place for a mid week drink. read more

This place is awesome. Burgers are extraordinary. The Cajun burger is the must have. Fries and wings are crispy and delicious. Decor and service are also great. Neighborhood is a shithole but that's the heights for you. Come here if you're in the mood for a good burger. read more

Here again. No wifi & still painfully arrogant service. You hear a bunch of "no" here. No this & no that. Snotty as f*ck.

This has been my favorite bar in the Heights since it opened. Pre COVID times (remember those??) it was always a fun and chill spot to grab a good beer and a great burger - the staff were also always so friendly. I was so happy that they reopened for take out/outdoor dining and done so in a really safe way. Can't recommend the nachos w/ pulled pork enough and the to-go cocktails are adorable and delicious! read more

Def like the atmosphere; the drinks are a little pricey. Gets pretty busy for what and where it is - a fan of the cocktail menu; esp the gin drinks! read more

Service is poor, never any seating available. Back room for live music is always too loud- can't have a conversation with the person next to you. Was incorrectly charged here on my credit card, so watch out. Had a bug in my drink on one occasion. I refuse to return to this place whenever it's suggested by friends. read more

I almost died from the Honey Habanero wings! I'm a guy that likes HEAT but this was next level and not even edible! Have been for brunch several times too and the brunch food is great but the service is deplorable! The Heights has a few other spots I will use as my local joint! read more

Great addition to the Heights! Really enjoyed the chill vibe and the modern-rustic decor (neeeeeed those barstools in my home). Nice selection of beers, and the black bean burger and the fries were really good. All the food is served on little metal trays, so you can't even make a mess (yes, I notice these things). As another reviewer noted, $14 for a veggie burger and fries is a little up there ($6 for a side of fries). More like downtown prices even though it's off the beaten path (in comparison, the burger at the Kitchen at Grove Station - a much more upscale eatery - is the same price, and the black bean burger plus fries at Left Bank Burger Bar is $11). The food quality and taste were good, though: you could tell someone actually made the black bean patty, the bun was fresh and shiny, and the fries came from actual potatoes (somewhat recently, not like they were potatoes 7 lifetimes, mashers, and freezers ago). It would be nice to see a more diverse menu over time and possibly a little adjustment of the prices I really wish this place well, and I hope the neighborhood embraces it, because it's the first of its kind in the area and could be part of a great revival for the neighborhood. read more

READ IT! I am not a negative person and do not write bad reviews about anything, this however was an experience. I've actually never written a bad review but had to share this. Live close by and have gotten take out or dined in and the food was always good, beers pretty good, bar staff - not so good. Ordered a burger to split with my girlfriend and after taking 2 bites each noticed that it was not cooked. We ordered medium and it came RAW, not medium rare - RAW! 2 bites each of a half of a burger is about a 1/4 burger each. So here's where this matters. I show the bartender that the burger isn't cooked and tell her not to make another (although she didn't offer in the first place, just took it and walked away) and she comes back with the check with the burger still on it. I've worked in restaurants for many years and every single establishment would take the burger off the bill. It's not the $$$, it's the principle, plus we both could have gotten sick. So now the bartender argues with me telling me I ate the whole burger when we did not and then calls the owner over who then brings my burger back out from the kitchen and digs her finger inside to show me that "it's cooked" when you could still see and smell that it was raw. So she says to me "in the burger world, this is medium" burger world??? It was raw and obvious and even more obvious that she and her staff don't know how to deal with guests or know how to cook burgers. Burger world? She was in her own little world. She eventually took the burger off but the damage was done already so it didn't matter. So in the end they just lost guests that have dined there multiple times and still would have but now will NEVER GO BACK!!! For a measly $2 dollars worth of product/food they could have kept guests that have been dining there and saved a horrible review. I'll be happy ordering take out from somewhere else or going to the Corkscrew 2 blocks away where the people are nice and appreciate their guests. Learn customer service and get your head out of your a$$!!! read more

Fox and Crow is a sweet little spot in the Heights that offers great drinks, delicious grub, and live music on some nights. The décor is folky and fun and the service is always on point. I've eaten brunch here ($4 mimosas) and dinner (try that grilled cheese!) as well as an occasional quick pint (lots of microbrews to choose from). During the warmer months you can enjoy your fare outside, but seating is limited. The back room has a speakeasy-esque feel, where you can enjoy intimate live music performances on most weekend nights. My favorite dishes include: locals only sandwich (brunch), mariner salad (lunch/dinner) and the thick bread grilled cheese. You also can't go wrong with their burger. Overall, it's a tad pricey, but you get what you pay for and I recommend stopping in! read more

This place is BANGIN. What a great addition to JC. It's right on Palisades and Congress, at the top of the elevator to 9th St in Hoboken. The vibe is really cool. The staff is super on point. They are friendly and attentive. The cocktails are well constructed and strong. The beer list is diverse and extensive. I had a bomb beet salad and a bean burger. Both were incredible. The real burgers and the fries looked and smelled insanely good, but I was on the healthy tip that night. Prices are cheap. If I lived in JC height or by 9th St in Hoboken, I'd be here several nights/week. read more
