We were out for a walk and looking to stop somewhere for a snack, so we decided to give Onieals a try. Since my last visit, I had only ventured there once for a drink, but it had been far from a first choice. I loved that they had live music and a casual vibe, but my past culinary experience had been a letdown. However, I was very pleasantly surprised on my recent excursion. We grabbed seats at the rustic bar and enjoyed friendly service and pints of Kane Head High, my favorite beer. The crisp, refreshing brew went well with my cup of Chicken Noodle Soup. While that might sound like an odd "snack", I selected it because it was one of the few appetizers on the menu that was not fried. The broth seemed to interestingly be made of tomatoes and potentially other vegetables. It was packed with large, spiral noodles, shredded chicken, and fresh spinach. It was an interesting rendition for sure, but it was also very tasty, despite the fact that it was rather greasy. I was also bummed that it did not have more chicken and that it had not been served with any crackers. Oh well! Overall, it at least had left me with a much better impression than my last trip had. read more

Onieals 343 Park Ave. Hoboken, NJ 07030 Penne Alla Vodka Appetizer The pasta was cooked al dente with chunks of plum tomatoes and smothered in a spicy vodka sauce. It's a win-win if you have this starter as is or with shredded mozzarella cheese. If you prefer a larger portion, this serving is also available as an entree. #hobokennj #hoboken #franksinatrastown #onieals #oniealshoboken #penneallavodka read more

Food was delicious and exceed my expectations for a pub. The crab cake sandwich was one of the best I've ever had. The drinks were good and it is split with half a bar and half a restaurant. Service was great and food arrived quickly. read more

Cannot believe i didn't review this place. 3.5 stars NOT A 3 Off the beaten path of Washington Ave. The food is here is good. The burgers are good fries not bad at all. Salads with chicken are terrific and the penne vodka is pretty good. All in all the food has been consistent for years. Small bar area outside seating and back room to dine. The service personnel is very nice. Remember Hoboken does not have good places to eat. Onieals is the outlier. Have always enjoyed and will continue to go. As recent as last night. read more

I walked in feeling a bit confused - mainly with the set-up and how there is a big gap between the door and pavement. Seating is in the back and the bar is in the front. I felt kind of bad for the busker, since the building is obtuse. But he kept my spirits high while I stood up and made myself a makeshift work station. It's a long story, but I explained to the supervisor that my phone got stolen and had asked to borrow their work phone. Francie - sorry if that is spelled incorrectly - thank you for providing some structure to a stressful night. read more

Awesome spot! My husband and I had our first date here so we love to stop in atleast 1x a year. We love the burgers, pasta and fried mozzarella. Everything is usually pretty good - solid local spot!!! Guys very busy so go early! read more

Our favorite neighborhood place. We are there at least once a week and we never leave disappointed. The staff are friendly and attentive. We love the burgers, sandwiches, and my son loves the pasta with vodka sauce. They have a great outdoor patio when the weather is nice. Wednesdays is a great day to go for special wine prices. It is a smaller dining room so go early to beat the wait! read more

This is a solid place for a burger! They were very flexible and allowed me to swap a vegetarian burger patty with any of the traditional burgers they had on the menu. I appreciated that aspect! I ended up getting the "raging Cajun" with a veggie patty and it was nice! The only reason to not have it be a 5 star was the fact that it took very long for the food to arrive. The waitress offered us free salad/ bread due to the wait, but as she was offering it our food came out. Other folks around us did get the complimentary salad/ bread. The restaurant is pretty crowded, which is surprising for a summer night. Overall would recommend! read more

server wouldnt make eye contact, didn't greet, and only came to seat us and the bill. Bus boy did all the work. Was not even busy in the restaurant. Front end lady who moved us when we requested an outside table, server said no to us previously (we saw a table outside open and asked). food is not worth the price. outside is nice and location. read more

Best penne vodka ever, best chicken Montrachet ever, best hammered chicken ever, and best burgers ever. Great bar to chill at and also has a spacious dining room. read more

This place was great. Fancier seating environment but also a bar vibe section as well. Clean restaurant and waiters dress nice. A bit confusing what vibe this place is because it has both bar food and vibe but also a fancy menu and vibe. Pricing reflects the pricier side but that is typical for the area. Burgers looked really good and classic. Penne alla vodka was super yummy. Food takes a bit to come out but at least that means they may be making it fresh. Solid spot just a conflicting vibe on what kind of restaurant it wants to be. read more

Great spot and location in Hoboken for brunch, lunch, or dinner. I've been coming here consistently over the last 8 years and have never had an item on the menu that has disappointed. The identity is a little mixed - they have Irish food, American, and Italian mixed into one. That being said, I've tried their pasta dishes, burgers, sandwiches, and multiple brunch items and have liked all of them. The bar in the front can be a little tight, so if you plan on coming for a game or space there, get there early to secure a spot. The back room has a nice vibe to it and all the staff members are great. There is an outside seating area across from the park where you can watch the world go by as well. Just went there again today for brunch with the family and had another good experience. read more

Mid range food. Good location. Service is attentive. Outside seating is a plus. Overall good.

Best pub food in town. Great brunch and the quality of food is superb. The dinner entrees are on point. The atmosphere and regular customers are amazing. From hostess to server to bartender all are on top of there game. read more

waited an hour to get our food, got to the point we were making friends with the people around us about it. the food was mid, not bad but nothing to wait an hour for. hoping it was just an off day for them read more

Awesome! Franks go to bar in the neighborhood. Service is spectacular! Everything you want is here! Great cocktails and fun environment!!!

Why why why the good reviews??? Bland dining room- Horrible food- High prices- Service was...adequate - could've been much better I don't get it!!! The steak sandwich was a joke- The fries were terrible- The chicken parm lacked...chicken! Maybe because it's the only thing in a 5 block radius but - man oh man what a disappointment read more

Onieal's is our absolute favorite burger in Hoboken. They never disappoint when it comes to cooking our burgers perfectly and their house-cut fries taste super fresh! Now they've even upgraded their buns to potato rolls which is a huge bonus for us personally. This time we even tried the chicken finger appetizer which was delicious including their amazing honey mustard. To note: the bar area can get kind of loud/rowdy especially on game days (it is a bar after all). But don't let that deter you if you'd like a quieter area they have both outdoor seating and an additional back room which are both less noisy. The service is always decent but their servers are definitely stretched a little thin. This will always be one of our favorite neighborhood go to spots! read more

Excellent spot. 1) I got the Irish Breakfast, it was very filling and tasty. I enjoyed every part of it. It had various meats and vegetables/beans. 2) The service was very good. The waitress came to fill my water. 3) Only thing is, the place is very busy. Sometimes hard to find table. read more

Onieals is our go-to for when we want a solid burger in a fun neighborhood joint. The service is always friendly whether you're seated at the table or at the bar. I love that there's always fun music and even a disco ball. Random highlight: I'm obsessed with their buffalo chicken salad. You get the spice while feeling (kind of) healthy. read more

Love the burgers here, especially the ragin Cajun! The French onion soup was also great! Fun vibe too when they brought in the live singer

Came here 9/17/24 and sat outside. My son and DIL come here regularly and we loved our server Laura! I had a burger and fries, DIL had chicken franchise and Best friend ordered the pasta with bolognese. Food was really good and service was amazing! read more

I had heard so many great comments about the burger at O'Nieals and I had high expectations which don't usually live up to them, but this burger was out of this world. I asked for it to be well done which I usually do and it's dry, but this was perfectly juicy. Ernesto was the best host and he had great recommendations, and Mason was a wonderful hostess. Thank you for a great dinner experience! read more

: The server, Caroline L., provided poor service. When Caroline L. came to the seating area, she ignored us and our dining companion, and instead socialized with other patrons. We stood waiting to be seated for 10 minutes before seating ourselves. Even though the bar was nearly empty, Caroline L. continued to ignore us. She did not provide us with menus, and we watched as she attended to other customers properly, while we were left unattended. Additionally, Caroline L. failed to provide us with any utensils. Overall, the treatment we received from Caroline L. was unacceptable, especially in contrast to the service provided to other customers. read more

Always an amazing trip here - switched it up from my usual burger, which is considered by locals as the best in the area, and went for their chicken sandwich and always amazing fried mozzarella. Sadly disappointed in the chicken sandwich. For the price you're getting one thin chicken cutlet (that was very dry and rubbery) with an actually good buffalo sauce that saved this from being 3 stars. The fried mozzarella is a winner and should always be your starter if you love cheese. I'll be returning but for the burgers only. read more

Coming back to O'Nieals for the first time in a year. While the food retains its quality, it was disappointing we had to wait almost an hour for our food (on top of the 30 mins we waited for the table). Hammered chicken and burgers are the go-to options here. The staff seems to be very overworked, it was impossible to get the waiter's attention. Took 15 mins to get someone to bring the bill. A lot of very disappointed diners the night we were there. I did really used to love this place and really hope the service gets back to its usual standard soon. read more

This place is such a gem. Not only is the vibe so comfy and inviting, but it's got a really cute bar and dining area so it's the best of both worlds. The food?? Amazing, the calamari was so fresh and the burgers were to die for. Can't wait to give this one another visit and try their penne vodka! read more

I like the atmosphere, the food, the drinks, etc, but both my friend and I got bad food poisoning here, so unfortunately i must give a bad rating read more

Still the best burger in town! Excellent wine, fries, and service to boot! I love that this place is still open for lunch as most places during/post COVID stopped serving lunch midweek which is understandable. read more

One of the best burger spots in Hoboken with some of the best fries I've ever had. Take your pick with any of the burgers because I haven't had anything less than stellar. I can vouch for The Wall Streeter, The Alps, The All American, and The 3 B's. The wings are excellent and the chicken quesadilla is surprisingly solid. I'm serious about the fries. Best in the city by far. Don't miss Onieals if you're in the area. It's everything you want and more in a casual but nice neighborhood bar. Cool place to hang and drink, but it's the fries and burgers that keep me coming back for more. read more

See a lot of complaining about the typically stuff, i.e. a bad experience or something wrong with their orders. Others praising good food and unique old timey bar feel. The main takeaway from Oneal's is it's ridiculously overpriced for what it is. I live a few doors down and would be a regular, but nearly $20 on every entree for something that's marginally better than pub food is a tough sell, even in this inflation environment. The portions are also very small, so they do not compensate for the premium pricing whatsoever. Whenever I eat here, I almost always regret it and look for something more to eat afterward. That said, it's a good place to grab a beer, listen to some live music, and catch a game (although I wouldn't make it a go-to for sports given the TV situation is not the best). Cool looking spot, but better in theory than practice. read more

Great spot in town for burgers (over 10 kinds to choose from!) - but service today was very slow. Maybe they weren't expecting a lunchtime rush, but with it being a holiday - it was very crowded. My friends burger and my chicken sandwich took almost an hour to arrive once we ordered. Once our food was delivered, no one came to check in on us until we'd been sitting with empty plates for awhile. read more

Why they insist on BLASTING music when there's like 10 people in the bar is beyond me. Great potential spot for a neighborhood bar but tries to be a Washington Street college bar. read more

I have been searching for good buffalo wings all throughout Hoboken and have yet to find a place that I like, until today. Wings were absolutely amazing; the blue cheese dressing it comes with was very good as well (typically I do not like blue cheese). Also had to try the burgers as I have heard everyone raves about them, definitely lived up to the hype. Comes with french fries which were crispy and delicious. read more

Live music is very good. Food is good. Drinks are ok. Service is ok. Good value for the experience. A typical Hoboken bar. Too many women here. Not a mixed crowd. If the female bartender were more attentive, and conversational, I would give it a 5. But they seem overworked. read more

Been here twice and each visit did not disappoint. This is one of the best burger spots in Hoboken and also one of the few that will cook your burger how you like. You ask for a medium, and you'll get a juicy, medium cooked burger. This time I ordered the Onieal's Famous with cheddar cheese and fiancé got the Wall Streeter. Can't go wrong with the Famous, it's a classic. But the Wall Streeter is where it's at. The sweet, caramelized onions compliments the salty, crispy bacon. Wash it down with a nice, cold beer and you've got yourself a highly satisfying meal. Will deff come back for more. read more
