    Margarita Flight.
    Cindy Z.

    One of the popular restaurants in Hoboken as it's located at the waterfront although trees and cars are still blocking the view. It was a nice spring day, so we sat outdoors for some drinks. The food did look promising, but we already had dinner plans. For drinks, my friend and I shared the Margarita Flight ($25), which came with 4 mini Mason glasses of flavored margarita. We upgraded the tequila to Casamigos for an extra $3, which was worth it. For flavors, it came with blackberry, mango, strawberry, and guava. I enjoyed the mango and guava most, but they were also the sweetest ones. Make sure you mix the syrup and tequila well though. The drinks are cute and the restaurant has a nice and fun vibe, but a bit pricey. They had someone taking photos and offering to sell them framed for $20 --very random and pricey.

    Mac & Cheese Burger
    Matt H.

    It was good but nothing mind blowing. I had the Mac and Cheese burger and it was very good but I couldn't help but feel it was missing something. The mac and cheese was a bit bland for my taste and it could have used some more flavor. Service was good though, niothing to write home about but nothing bad. Ambiance is good as well, again, nothing impressive but serves the job for a relaxed dinner or lunch!

    went here for brunch, the service was incredible, we never had a mimosa cup empty. food was wonderful, the waiter was wonderful. great experience

    Tacos

    Pros: nice outside seating area facing the water, attentive and nice waitress who also refilled our chips Cons: sometime disorganized wait staff that did not know where to deliver our apps, bathroom had no soap, really loud inside and could barely make it to the bathroom with the swarms of people from a party right outside In terms of food it was all average or below and extremely overpriced. My burger was $24. It tasted "sour" which I thought was due to the cheese from the Mac and cheese on the burger until my nephew said his burger tasted sour too. I really hope I don't throw it up later . The chips in the chip trio had no salt or flavor, the guacamole also had no salt or flavor. $17 for cocktails. Skip this place and find a place in hoboken with better food, there are plenty.

    Olive martini dip

    We really enjoyed the food at this restaurant. Pictured is the Olive Martini dip which was very interesting, definitely a lot more dip than I was expecting. Overall The taste was pretty good and the crackers went very well with the dip. I got the veggie burger and it was quite delicious. I was excited to see that they had waffle fries as well. Unfortunately the service was not the best as we were waiting on the waiter several times during our lunch. Either way we hope to come back and try new items on the menu.

    The drinks are strong and made to order, the appetizers and entrees are top shelf, you can sit outside and get a view of Manhattan skyline from Frank Sinatra Drive while you're pampered by the wait staff. I paid for parking at a garage as I don't believe there's any street parking in the area. The food may be a little pricey, but you get what you pay for. Good stuff. I did giggle a little when I saw the donut with caviar on the menu, but this IS Hoboken

    This place is so fun for bottomless brunch! I have gone here a few times and the food is always solid and the service is attentive! The outside part is really nice and inside is nice for a rainy or cold day. I bet I'll be back

    I went to Ainsworth for brunch with my husband to celebrate our anniversary. The workers there are so nice! Ambiance was beautiful and the live DJ played all the hits! Definitely recommend this restaurant and I cannot wait to come back. There are so many delicious items to choose from in the menu. See pics below!

    My family got brunch at the Ainsworth for my godmother's birthday and we had a phenomenal experience. We got the prefix menu and the cheese beignets were out of this world and had the perfect combination of savory and sweet (which the chicken and waffles also perfectly balanced). I don't know what this bacon thing was but it was some of the best bacon I've ever had in my life (sorry mom). They had donuts for dessert and they were super high quality and better than donuts you'd get at actual donut places. Our waiter was super attentive and made sure we had enough mimosas as well. If you're looking for a good brunch spot with awesome vibes, great food, and good music then stop by the Ainsworth!

    Veggie Burger and fries

    Was here on a Friday night and didn't have a hard time finding seating. Food was really good and the staff was great!

    I really enjoyed this restaurant!! I came here over the weekend with the family - that's right - baby too!! The restaurant is located to nicely in Hoboken overlooking the skyline of NYC. Not a direct view but across the street. And it's a family friendly restaurant!! We sat outside as it was beautiful weather. The service was great. Our waiter was very nice and even interacted so nicely with our 10 month baby. Very nice experience. The food was okay - a little pricey in my opinion for what you were getting. But that's NYC prices!! You're close enough I guess!! We ordered the salmon and the Mac and cheese. It was enough to share between the three of us. The Mac and cheese was the best. And I was so excited to know that my son likes Mac and cheese just like his momma!! Loved the place and I would definitely go back if in the area!!

    skillet

    Ainsworth would have gotten 5/5 stars in my eyes if their pancakes didn't come on a plate with just syrup. They were so dry and like how can you mess up pancakes lol. Not even a side of butter / whip cream or fruit... like how can you not serve those three above The skillet on the other hand Bottomless Waitress is very attentive & sweet. Brought my puppy a water bowl and has been checking on us a lot :) chef: pls upgrade ur pancakes and you'll get a 5/5 from me

    Happy hour deal

    Food was honestly mid if I'm being honest. It was just fine. I wish I would've ordered something…read moreelse instead of the cheddarwurst. I wasn't impressed and it was pretty small. I should've gotten a burger, it's hard to screw up a burger. I also got the elote corn ribs. They were good but would've been better if it were served the normal way. Seemed like it might've been 1.5 cobs stripped to look like ribs. The fries were good. I also got the apple tart. If you like McDonald's apple pie, you'll like the tart. The reason I give this a 4 is because the vibes were good. This is a great spot to watch a game or have drinks with friends. The vibes and energy were good here. The food is serviceable for that. I'd come here again for the right game and recommend it to other people.

The ambiance and overall vibe are excellent, with great music, drinks, and food that truly make the experience enjoyable. What really stood out was the service. Since we were a group of 15, they ensured we had a dedicated server assisting us throughout the evening, including helping us manage separate tabs smoothly, which made everything so convenient. A special thank you to the Stout NYC team for hosting us on the evening of June 2nd, 2026. We had an amazing time and will definitely recommend this place to others looking for a great group gathering spot in NYC!

    We came on a Saturday for the intl brunch…read more The vibes & music was good from beginning to end. It was however to loud where you can barely hear/understand the waiters or the ppl in your party that youre talking to. Cool vibes but the food fell short. I ordered the soul loving and the only thing good was the yams, the mac n cheese was okay. I didnt like the collard greens. The chicken look like it was Bam Bams bat from the flintstones aka steroid chicken; it was so friggin big & lacked seasoning/flavor. I also ordered the yum yum shrimp w the sauce on the side in case it was to spicy. I ate a few shrimp w/o the sauce & it was not good imo. I left more than 1/2 my food on my plate. Both my friends had the rasta pasta - 1 w shrimp 1 w chicken. My friend w the chicken picked her chicken out stating it tasted funny & the pasta was better w/o it. She also got fish tacos which she did not like them either. The drinks were good. We only had the montana, margarita & rum punch. I'd return mainly for the music & drinks. The waitress asked if we wanted to go bags & I said no immediately & my face said it all. She was like you didnt like it. Im like nah its a no for me. She brought me a drink since i wasnt happy. That was nice of her as I wasnt expecting anything.

    Hudson Station was much more than I expected. Located in midtown Manhattan. Hudson Station is a…read morerestaurant that's easy to get to as it's near public transportation like the A C and 1 trains. The restaurant is not much to look at from the outside and from the inside. For me, it's the food that wins for me. Hudson Station as I mentioned is not much to see from the inside but it had a Cheers (tv show) like charm. As I sat waiting for the waiter to come and take the order, I couldn't help but think about the tv show and the similarities from the show. The service was ok but the food was better. I enjoyed an amazing pulled pork sandwich with slaw on top. The BBQ sauce from the pulled pork was perfect. I had a side of fries and a few bears. My friend had a burger that he reports was good as well. Unfortunately, the waiter in the end botched the bill and made us late for our show. I was not pleased with that outcome but I did enjoy the food and music. From what I can tell, it seems like a happening place. I believe there may be a lounge upstairs but I'd have to return to confirm that. That said, I will be back and I recommend that you give them a try.
