Me and my partner decide to try left bank after having some self care done before as we were ready to chow down. As we had been to many places in the area, we wanted to try something new. We decided on left bank as we have heard good things and heard it had great vibes. As we know it can get packed but we lucked out on it being mid day and a chill vibe. They do have happy hour specials from 12-6. We decided to try expresso martini as we are strong lovers of the drink now, I wasn't too crazy about it also the vibes for me wee more more of a hard seltzer with the wings and burgers we ordered. Our server Mike was great and all the food was amazing, you will definitely see us again! read more

Came here on a whim to grab a burger as I hadn't had one in quite a while. I decided to sit at the bar and ordered my meal there. The black bean veggie burger stood out, but I wanted to make a few modifications to it, so I opted for the custom burger. Swapped out the slaw for some jalapeños and caramelized onions for example. Burger was huge. It was coming apart pretty easily so I had to opt to eating the non-conventional way with a fork and knife. But appreciate the quantity provided. Fries weren't anything to write home about, but appreciate them providing it. I may be back in the future if get another craving. read more

Left Bank Burger Bar - Black Bean Burger customized - Burgers Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

Went here on a Thursday around 1:30 and it was completely empty. The hostess/waitress said we could sit wherever we like. The interior was decorated for Christmas. We ordered shots and a beer which came out quickly. We both order black bean burgers. I got the Mac Daddy without bacon and the mac and cheese had little to no flavor. My date got the Ring the Alarm Veggie Burger, and said it was good. I got fries with mine and my date got onion rings. The fries and onion rings were delicious. Overall, the food was decent but I don't think the burgers were worth $20 each. I honestly don't think I'd come back here just based on the price and quality of food. Despite the waitress being kind and the service being good, I'd rather go elsewhere for a black bean burger. read more

Giving it a 5 since I think it's better than its average 4.1 at the time of this review. The burger came out surprising as order temperature! A lot of places are way off. Simple menu but able to customize and get what you want. Price is good along with a good beer selection. Lots of TVs and great location. Definitely coming back read more

Great burger, presented and cooked perfectly. Friendly service! Nice little place inside. read more

Visited this restaurant several years ago and tried the Mac and cheese burger with fries. It wasn't bad from what I remember and it was part of a weekly special they had. Service was fine and the restaurant itself is nice, a bit dark but I guess that's meant to set a certain mood. Parking is limited so that could be annoying but if I'm ever in the area and craving a burger, I'd probably go back! Side note: I found the pic from 2018 so I'm not sure if they still offer this read more

The burgers were so juicy and amazing at this location alongside with the Philly cheesecake .. DE LI CILOUS

We had been here for early lunch around 11:30am Disinterested hostess, average food and ok ambiance Burgers are for $15 or more and come with no sides! Portion sizes are Ok, infact the burger buns are small like in Mac or Bk. May be its time of the day that we went here, but our experience was less than average! read more

Best burger I've had since the 60s. Tasty, juicy everything was fresh. Thank you Left Bank Burger Bar for making real burgers. read more

I stopped in for a quick weekday lunch. The restaurant was pretty slow so we received the VIP treatment. The service was friendly and extra attentive. I ordered the chicken club and added a side salad. Note that sides are an additional $4! Side options are salads, fries, etc. Overall the food was tasty. I liked the Irish red ale that was on tap as well ($7). The dining experience was simple and easy. I would revisit Left Bank for another beer or meal read more

Great food! I have celiac and they have a great GF bun available. The staff is so kind and attentive!

A really good burger bar if that is the mood. The challah bread burger (the Meltdown) was different, but flavorful. Sweet potato fries was the cherry on top. The nachos were just ok- could have did without them. The place itself is not huge- so you may run into wait time depending on the time you go. Service was pleasant, and music was lit. read more

Bottom line is the burgers are delicious. I had the Mon Cheri with sweet potato fries and my husband had the ghostface killa with onion rings. Both were so good and the service was exceptional. I would definitely come back and try the other burgers, even the chicken sandwiches. The place is on the smaller side, but they were quick with seating us on a busy night. read more

First time here.. Unfortunately I did not order a burger but I did take a few bites of my husband's and it was amazing. Extremely juicy and flavorful. J did order the chicken Caesar salad which was delicious. Lots of chicken!! Nachos and Disco fries were very good also. Next time will definitely get a burger. read more

Delicious Mexican food. Really great service and great ambiance. Well made drinks and they play good music. They also make fresh tortillas by hand while you eat. Would definitely recommend bringing your family or a date read more

This burger bar left me wanting more! Looking for a solid burger spot I somehow found this place in crunch time with a minute to go in the game. AND, I was amazed by what this place offers. The super kind staff and helpful server I couldn't have asked for any more to top off the nice menu items. I like to order more than I can eat to really judge a place and not one item I ordered was bad. Solid wings, solid fries, solid pickle chips, solid lava cake, and super solid burger! BTW, I am a pickle chip fanatic and I reallyyyyy liked the way this spot made theirs. With a side or dill sauce it was a nice compliment to the Mac & Cheese burger. This picture perfect burger was flavorful in every way. Every item that made this up was a flavor burst in each bite. I am also a wing fanatic and these wings were moneyyyy! So when a place can make a great pickle chip, wing, fries and burger then you know dessert should be the finale... and what better than chocolatey, melty, gooey, warm lava cake with a cold scoop of ice cream! Come check this place out, you won't be disappointed =] read more

Don't trust their posted hours. Just tried to go there more than an hour before they were supposed to close and was informed "they were closing a little early tonight." read more

It was a very solid burger spot. It really reminded me of something from a bar, but not in a bad way. It was pretty cheap too for the burgers and would be a great happy hour spot! Service was fast and my boyfriend and I were out in about an hour. Which wasn't a bad thing considering it was like 8pm when we got there. The main room is more set up like a bar and had lots of tvs. I could see this being a good sports bars when football season starts or even baseball. Overall would come back if I needed a quick burger fix! read more

My husband and I were here last Saturday the night before the Jersey City half marathon. He had particular dietary requests and left. Banke burger was a good compromise between what both of us are craving. I love that you can customize burger and their veggie burger was really good and seem to be freshly made. I ordered mine with avocado, cheese and garlic aïoli. It was really tasty and I was starving so I eat at all. I also ordered a side kale and Caesar salad for four dollars. That was also delicious and I scarfed it down, but had some help from my husband. Also had a glass of rosé to wash it all down. It wasn't too crowded or too loud for Saturday night and our server was really nice. It was a short walk back to our Airbnb and is in a nice, safe location in downtown Jersey City. read more

Left Bank Burger Bar - Build Your Own Veggie Burger with side kale Caesar salad. - Burgers Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

This place slaps. I am obsessed with it. The burgers are big and delicious. Now you should expect to pay about $20 per person depending on what you are ordering. The atmosphere is cute and they have a lot of indoor seating with sports playing on their TVs facing their bar. I enjoyed my burger greatly and I cannot tell if it is because I was super hungry or if the food was good. I would say their fries were delicious. We got one of the specialty fries to split for the two of us and it was great. The only downside is that fries do not come with burgers so you are paying a larger price for burgers but nothing insane for the area. Overall, I would come back but it is a bit pricey. Enjoyed my meal here though! read more

We ordered take out from Left Bank and man there burgers were really good. I had a classic cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato, and onion. Perfect. And I got onion rings, which I'm glad Sherry does not like because I'm happy not to share! Sherry had the Mac Burger and she loved it as well. We got it delivered and it was nice and hot when dropped off. Next time we will eat there. Try it! So darn good!! read more

I've been to left bank twice, both times I've really enjoyed their burgers. I've had one special and one build your own. The special was a champion which was a French dip burger. It was so juicy and flavorful. Some of the menu items sound a bit much and definitely can't eat them all the time, but they sure are a nice treat! read more

Stumbled across this spot when visiting Barcade for a date night. Super glad we did because the food, burgers and staff were great. They were all SO friendly which is a great sign when you first walk in, but when the service and friendless continues throughout the entire visit- you know it's a great place! Multiple waiters checked in on us to make sure we were happy and okay with our order when it came out. But I'm jumping ahead :) Started by ordering some nachos. Nothing special, just some basic chili nachos but they really hit the spot! They were super delicious and they didn't skimp on the nacho cheese which was a plus! :) They have a great menu of speciality burgers but they also have a build your own option which is what I went with. I did a burger with grilled onions, bacon and bbq sauce. Pretty simple! It was delish. I ate every bite! Hubby was very happy with his burger too. The only downside is that the burgers don't come with fries so you need to order them separate but that is pretty standard with a burger place. Also the order of fries is large enough to share. Split between my husband and I, we still had some leftover so it wasn't an issue. We'd deff come back here! Loved the food and vibe! read more

Seriously my absolute favorite. The waiters are EXTREMELY observant and the food is awesome. It's my favorite day of the month when cheat day comes lol. The burgers are cooked wonderfully, I always order medium-rare and I am pretty annoying about that, but this place does it right every time. read more

I love their patty melt here. The service is hit or miss even when it's not busy. Keep in mind they will charge you for any little thing including an extra side of ranch for the appetizers. Despite the iffy service and prices the food is really good. read more

Left Bank Burger Bar has the best burgers in Jersey City! It had a no non-sense sports bar vibe with tvs playing sports, music, casual atmosphere, and great service! We came at 7:30pm on a Saturday, and the place was pretty busy. I think we would have had to wait a while for a table, but we were seated at the bar right away. The bartender checked in on us frequently, and we got our food really quickly! We tried the Meltdown (patty melt) and the Bankrupt burger. The special "bank" sauce was delicious and pickle-y. The burgers were cooked perfectly medium and were juicy and flavorful without being too raw in the center. Additionally, they have gluten free burger buns! Overall, this is a classic burger joint, and I'd highly recommend! read more

My family and I got an early weekend dinner from Burger Bar. It was ready for pickup 20-30 minutes (we ordered around 5pm). I got the Honey Hot, which was great! I loved the slaw and sweetness, and the level of spiciness was perfect. The sweet potato fries had a great texture. Loaded fries were truly loaded - a hamburger on fries! The mac n cheese balls were great for snacking. I only wish there had been a few more options for younger kids on the menu. read more

This was my first time trying Left Bank Burger. I got the mac daddy burger with onion rings on the side. I was really looking forward to trying this because I've heard great things, but the burger was underwhelming. I was expecting it to be juicy and it was pretty dry. It didn't have any spice or flavors to it either. The fried Mac and cheese was yummy though! But the burger should have been the main focus. read more

Left Bank Burger Bar - Mac Daddy Burger - Burgers Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

My wife ordered the meltdown burger medium rare. It came back a beautiful medium rare. It was cut in half. It tasted like it came out of a fancy diner. She had onion rings on the side, which cost $17 with the burger. They were crispy, not soggy at all. The onion rings were bland, but good if you really want to appreciate the flavor of the onion. But still, super crunchy. I ordered the Mac Daddy burger medium rare with fries ($19). It came out not sliced in half and undercooked. The fried mac and cheese inside was all mac and little cheese. It was bland and honestly a little weird. I took it out and couldn't eat it, my wife said it was just ok and she ate part of it. I didn't mention this to the staff, so maybe they could have made it right, so I won't take any stars away for the Mac Daddy. But I'll never order it again. I will come back and get the meltdown Burger. The fries were very good as well. read more

Ive been coming to this place since 2016 and it's definitely still a favorite spot of mine in the downtown area! Went today with a friend and it's just as good as I remember it :) My friend and I split a nachos which was yum, loved the extra kick the jalapeños gave it. We both got the Muenster Mash burger and it was delicious. Thought the fried cheese would be too overbearing but it was a nice bold touch of flavor! Lastly, I got a drink which was their rum punch. It was a refreshing cocktail perfect for the summer heat~ read more

I want to update my review with a very positive experience that I just had for a catering order. I ordered a tray of wings from LB for the super bowl and it was a great deal -- 35 wings for $35. They only advertised as having a 25 or a 50 wing deal, but they were able to accomodate my special request no problem. The order was ready right on time and most importantly, the wings were plump and delicious. The tray came with a generous side of blue cheese and tons of carrots and celery. The wings were flavorful with just the right amount of heat. I'm always on the hunt for great wings in JC, and I'm also always on the hunt for places that have great catering deals. It's great to know that Left Bank delivers on both fronts. I'd happily order catering again or just come by for a solo order of those fire wings. read more

This place was utterly underwhelming. Possibly the worst onion rings ever. Beer selection meh. But what about the burger you ask? Surely a place with Burger in its name would do this well...also a weak showing here. Yes it was thick but that should mean that you can cook it to specifications. I ordered medium got well. It turned to a mess almost immediately. Service? This is where they truly fell apart. I came in well before rush, there was one other patron in the whole damned place. Where did I get sat? That's right, next to the one dude already there. He immediately started telling me how the service was a problem. He ate and cleared out in a hurry. All in all, edible burger, but barely; HORRIBLE onion rings. Will not be returning and I live in the neighborhood. read more

I really loved this place. The first time I came in was for lunch with my coworkers. I had the Muenster mash burger, it was absolutely delicious! My most recent visit was this past Saturday. I suggested to my boyfriend we have dinner here before a concert. We started with the fried pickles. We each had the Muenster mash burger. We both really enjoyed our food. They have a fully stocked bar and the drinks were well made. Definitely stop by if you're in the mood for a great burger! read more

Being new to the area, I've been trying to stick close to home and try a few local restaurants. Left Bank exceeded my expectations! I visited Left Bank an hour before they closed mid-week and it seemed like there were still a decent amount of people there. The menu is simple, but effective and the staff are super attentive. We ordered a build your own burger and I loved all the different topping options they have. They also have a pretty long draft list to add to your meal. The burger was juicy and cooked perfectly and the fries were exactly crispy enough. I can't wait to come here again and try more from their menu! Highly recommend. read more

If you're looking for an affordable meal with good servings sizes this is the place to go. Not to mention the food/drinks are delicious and you get polite/kind service. We ordered the fried pickles, along with burgers, a Moscow mule, and sangria. All the food came out in a timely manner and was piping hot. Let me tell you these burgers are massive. Neither me or my boyfriend could finish our burgers but we wish we could have. read more

The burgers were delicious, and the person who provided the service was so friendly. I highly it!

Where: 194 Newark Ave, Jersey City, NJ What: The Meltdown: House blended beef, caramelized onions, bank sauce and grilled cheese challah. Mac Daddy Burger: House blended beef, fried mac and cheese, butcher cut smoked bacon, garlic herb mayo and tomato. My Comments: There are some very good burgers being served at the Left Bank and the staff could not be nicer or more attentive. We started with house-made mac and cheese pops and house-made fried pickles, both were served with house-made buttermilk ranch dressing for dipping and both were surprisingly better than anticipated. The Meltdown was the clear winner between these 2 burgers, it was excellent. The bun on the Mac Daddy Burger was way too much bread for this burger which knocked the burger-to-bun ratio off the charts. It was also cooked beyond the request for med-rare and into the valley of med-well. The mac & cheese topping was dry and the garlic herb mayo was overly sweet. With that said, I'm not rating the Mac Daddy. The Meltdown however, gets a solid 9/10. (See Photos & Captions) read more

So I had this spot on my list for a while and decided to give it a try. I called in my order of the veggie burger with a side of the bank sauce and french fries. It came to a total of $14.06. When I arrived I parked illegally in the front of the restaurant. I went in and it was a cute bar and grill. I told the lady my name and she handed me my food and I paid and left. When I got in I ate and the fries were good. I liked the bank sauce with the veggie burger. It was a good topping. The food was pretty good and I would like to try this spot again to try more items. read more
