Everytime I come here we WAIT so long for even a cup of tea. ...or we're just forgotten about....

Despite slow service and the place selling out of orange juice (is it that hard to get a gallon from a supermarket?) we managed to have a decent brunch. The whole wheat apple cinnamon pancakes are some of the best flapjacks I've ever had. And they were massive. Had I known, I would have shared my order. The vanilla chai tea was great too, in the absence of orange juice. read more

For the second time, my order has been completely messed up. Come on guys, please clean up your customer service.

It pains me to write this review because, when I first started going to Turning Point, I generally enjoyed my experiences. But lately, the food and service have been disappointing. The atmosphere reminds me of a slightly upscale diner. I usually end up sitting at the counter since the wait for an actual table is incredibly long on the weekends. But the last few times, even the service at the counter has been lacking (for example, it took me nearly 15 minutes just to get a check). On the plus side, the view of the city is fantastic, especially if you get to sit outside on a nice day. read more

The variety of the menu is great. I tried the floretine benedict and it was definitely tasty. The atmosphere of the place is that "I just got off by scooner in Nantucket and my hat didn't fly away...thank you for complimenting me on my boat shoes" kind of place. Its an enjoyable place with good food. However it is pricey. read more

It was just okay. I don't see what all the hype is about. The eggs were cooked as ordered but the breakfast potatoes lacked seasoning.

Good menu selection, positive staff and amazing view. Might have to wait to sit, but worth it. I reccomend the fruit bruchetta to start!

First and last time. Sitting here at the table for almost an hour with lukewarm, very subpar coffee and no one has come to check on us and our food hasn't arrived. From the moment we walked in we felt ignored. We're walking out. read more

Its truly a shame that the food is great but the service is terrible. They leave customers waiting. Standing in the front while the tables are dirty and don't get cleaned. They need to get the staff properly trained. They will walk by customers and tables and not even think twice about cleaning the table or greeting customers. read more

Running a waitlist for an hour+ while telling people it's going to be 20-25 mins and there are three tables sitting empty/ready for over 20mins is just unacceptable. The food may be okay but it isn't worth the wait. Period. read more

If you're looking for a good menu and great atmosphere, this is a top choice in Hoboken. The wait to get in is always ridiculously long and it doesn't matter if you call ahead. The service is hit or miss (mostly miss). Recently, the waiter took our daughter's order and came back for ours. We ended up waiting 45 mins for our food then decided to just take it to go since she wouldn't tolerate waiting. The waiter was apologetic, but the experience was ruined. The food has also diminished in quality over time. For example, the fruit is bruised up and the potatoes aren't fresh anymore. In summary, this is a good brunch place in uptown Hoboken, but when you go on weekend, have very low expectations for the wait and service. read more

I've been trying to go to this brunch spot for awhile, but it always had long lines. I went with some friends on a cloudy/rainy day and got a booth with a front-view of the Hudson River. Great food and menu selection. The fruit bruschetta was unique, light, and delicious. I want to come back with my family as they have a lot of vegetarian options too. read more

One of the worst egg Benedict I have ever had. They put a lot of stuff in the egg Benedict like tomato, red pepper ... Such a weird combination . The egg is not that good and the fries are bad. Never want to go back. read more

This place is so horrible, I don't even know where to began with them! I really thought after hearing great things from them, that I would have a very good time eat there. However, after today, I will never go back there again. There service (If you want to call it that?) was terrible, I had to wait a whole hour to get my damn food and let me not forget how rude they were to me and my friends, but the worse thing about this place, was hands down the food. I never had tasted bad food until I came to this dump and to top it off, it was served on dirty, shitty, filthy plates and cups. NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

I wish i could comment on the food, unfortunately we never got to a point of being served. A couple of friends and myself decided to make our way to this place for some brunch, and from the moment we walked in i knew the staff was going to be the highlight of the day. We walk in and are greeted by a teenage host I'm assuming who asked us how many in our party, we said 3 and stood there as he discussed among himself and some servers who were there as to where to seat us, that lasted a couple minutes. We were seated at the far right side of the establishment and were given menus. We sat there with menus for 20 minutes before a friend had to turn around and just stare at the bar to get someone to acknowledge our presence. A young lady came to our table about a minute later and stated that she was not our server but she would take our drink orders. So we put in the drink orders and continue to sit, quite aggravated at the service at this point. About 10 minutes later the same young lady comes back without any drinks to let us know that they cannot make my friends latte. This wouldn't be such a big deal if we hadn't already sat through the rest of the horrible service. This whole time we still hadn't even met our server. We promptly decided to leave and told the young lady to never mind our drinks. This place really needs a more experienced staff, the food can be great but people don't go out to eat just for the food, they expect some form of service which this places young staff definitely doesn't provide. Very disappointing. read more

I came here for brunch. Food was good, but didn't seem like anything special -- standard savory and sweet brunch fare. Portions were very generous. Service was great, prices were reasonable. I think we probably got there after the usual Saturday brunch rush, so we were seated quickly. My friend had the foresight to call ahead to make a reservation just in case. I got eggs and would visit again to try some other menu items. read more

Do NOT get delivery from the Turning Point. The delivery guy called twice to locate my address. Then the store called me twice and I had to call them back only to find out that he was still knocking on the wrong doors. My address is really easy to find. The food arrived cold (obviously). I have ordered from delivery from them before and it was the same experience. Thought I would give them a second chance, needless to say I will not be giving them another. read more

Turning Point is a perfectly acceptable place to get breakfast/brunch/lunch in Hoboken, and based on the line that you will encounter on the weekend, many locals feel the same way. I have been to the Turning Point twice, and enjoyed my food both times. The pesto egg white skillet (it has a different name on the menu) was good, not great - the vegetables didn't seem like they were sauteed long enough, and therefore were watery and didn't add much to the dish. Uncooked onions in a breakfast platter doesn't do it for me. Second time I went, I got the stuffed French Toast, and this was quite good. A fruit/cream cheese mix was in between the slices of bread, which were sweet and cooked to perfection with a little crisp on the outside. When I return to Turning Point, I'll probably select this option again. There is also a very good tea menu, with many different flavors that aren't necessarily common to your local supermarket or tea shop. My experience in the restaurant has been worthy of 4 stars. The delivery experience, however, bumps them down. After placing an order with them ~9:30 AM, we called to get a status update an hour later (food hadn't arrived). They told us that they never received our order. While disappointed, we were told that the food would be prepared/delivered right away - fine. An hour later, and with still no food and patience running thing, the employee at Turning Point (the same one) was extremely apologetic and ensured us that we wouldn't be charged for the food. This, along with a coupon for two free dishes was a tremendous gesture that was well appreciated. Nonetheless, when the food came it was cold and the onions weren't cooked (kind of thinking that maybe they don't intend for them to be). Regardless, I wouldn't suggest take-out from Turning Point - last time I went to the restaurant, I sat at the diner and saw take-out orders sit up at the front for at least 30 minutes before they were taken by a delivery person - who knows how much longer it took to get to someone's door. Suggestions: Don't get delivery, eat at the restaurant. Get there early on weekends unless you want to wait. French Toast and Teas were very good. read more

The Turning Point has fantastic food (be sure to try the specials!) with an even better view. The coffee is some of the best around and the staff is always very friendly. If I had any complaint it's that sometimes the wait on weekends can be long because of its popularity. read more

Horrible service. Came with a party of 7 and had to wait more than an hour because two large tables that can accommodate us weren't cleaned because the bus boys were backed up. Avoid at all costs if you go with large groups. Coffee was good. First and last time. read more

Nothing too special about the food here. I ordered the basic skillet with chorizo sausage . The eggs ruined the entire meal , they absolutely had no flavor. I also ordered a Belgium waffle which was just like eating pizza crust, horrible. My boyfriend on the other hand got the Big Daddy Omlette which was VERY flavorful but my meal on the other hand was very much on the disappointing side. and the "FRESHLY SQUEEZED ORANGE JUICE ? IS TROPICANA WITH PULP. The view was wonderful but what false advertisement. read more

I was very excited to try the Turning Point in Hoboken because I am so used to the one in Holmdel being great. Unfortunately, the food was really disappointing and will probably not give it another try. The staff was really nice, but not sure why there is a such a difference in quality across restaurants. read more

Amazing everything! It's unfortunate that this place is not open for dinner or we'd eat here every night. Best lobster quesadilla and lobster eggs benedict. If you're not in the mood for lobster...just try anything else. We have never had a bad meal here and they are so accommodating to babies too! If you are lucky enough to avoid the saturday/sunday morning rush, it's even better! The servers are really pleasant and we never feel rushed. Make sure you try the Jamaican blend french press coffee! read more

Great view and quite comfortable. It did take awhile to get noticed waiting for a table, but I had the time and could tell they had a few trainees around. The Full Monty was delicious and I was impressed with the amount of fresh strawberry, blueberries and pineapple in addition to the standard grapes and honeydew. read more

Am here right now and have to say very bad experience. They have seated at least 5 parties who came after us. Our fault - we r a party of 2 and a high chair. And then every set of 2 tables has been setup for 4. So where do we sit. Lesson - never coming back here again. And u might want o come with a larger party. read more

All of the dishes were exceptional. They were delicious and well presented. Our party had chocolate pancakes, eggs benedict and the huevos rancheros. The service was excellent as well. read more

Always think they should be open a little longer. This is my favorite weekend branch place, but they can do good dinner for sure. Staff are very friendly and I enjoy warm atmosphere even when I stay there only 2 mins for pick up. My favorite is berry chocolate pancake though all pancakes are great. Sandwiches tend to be slightly salty for me. Otherwise 5 stars. read more

I've been here more than 5x. Every time have some problem. They don't follow the line, call table biggest first!

Never going back again. The service was beyond terrible. Rude hostess. Took 25 minutes to get a drink. Food was cold. Attempted to split the bill and they said it wasn't possible, which is simply untrue in this day and age. After all this hassle the cards were charged twice. Huge pain. Go to Anthony David's they're amazing. read more

As a lover of Turning Point in other locations, I thought bringing friends from out of town here for breakfast was a no brainer. I could not have been more wrong. After calling ahead to find out the wait time and the hostess saying "you shouldn't have even called," I already was slightly skeptical but brushed it off knowing that the spot was probably quite busy. When we arrived we put our name on the list at both the indoor and outdoor hostess stands. Each told us it was about a 20 to 30 minute wait. After about an hour I went to the hostess stand to see how many more tables were ahead of us and noticed our name already highlighted as sitting!! They didn't even call our names! After finally getting to sit, another 30 minutes goes by and we were still waiting for water and utensils.. There was a complete lack of communication between the staff as multiple waiters came up to us to take our order.. We waited a total of an hour an 45 minutes for breakfast food..!!! I will prob never go back to this location due to the disorganized staff and excessive amount of waiting. It also was a poor poor reflection of the breakfast spot to my friends from out of town. To be honest you will be better off staying home. read more

One of my favorite breakfast places in Hoboken. The food is really good, the French press coffee divine and the view of the Hudson can't be beat. The room has a New England vibe and on a sunny day it feels like you're on vacation. I wish they opened up a little earlier on weekdays and I'd go more often but it's just about perfect. read more

Now that Spring is here there is not better place to dine than the patio at the Turning Point! Right on the river with the best NYC views. New menu items are good especially the Chciken Burger Yum! read more

The good is pretty good, the view is fantastic, but the service is so unbearably bad it just isn't worth it. Ordered as soon as we sat down and still took 80 minutes to get our food. Then I had to wait another 10 minutes for a fork. When I finally got it, it had egg on it! If you're looking for a place to sit for hours and don't care about service, this would be a good choice. Otherwise, avoid at all costs! read more

I love turning point. Its a great place to go to for breakfast/brunch with a great view of the city. I love getting the skillets, wilbur or popeye are my favorites. They even deliver so you can stay at home while your hungover and order in some delicious breakfast food. They don't start delivering until 10am, but after going out the night before, I'm almost never up before then anyway. read more

The food is always good here, but generally speaking the service is pretty bad. I've been there multiple times in the past 5 years during the week when the place is empty, and the service was still bad. Servers not attentive, standing around chatting. I generally liked the food, but it wasn't anything that special. read more

On a visit to NYC we found Turning Point. On that same visit we ate there two mornings in a row prior to going into the city. Good food and a very clean appearance. In a restaurant that is all I am looking for. If we stay in Jersey on the next visit we will be right back there. read more

Have been back since and really love it. Stick with the omelettes and skillets (Wilbur skillet is quite good but get it with a third or fourth egg) and you won't be disappointed. read more

Food was great and portions were reasonable, but the wait for a table takes forever and the service was borderline apathetic.

Don't ever order food from this place they never get the order correct even when they receive and itemized order on seamless. Best bet is to wait in line for over an hour for their mediocre food. read more

I live around the corner and come in all the time because of the location. The service always sucks. Today the chairs were dirty, along with the tabletops and as usual the employees were pilled at the cash register, leaning on the counter and yapping. Food is good enough to overcome the service if there's no wait. Dont come to early on sunny days, the blinds here are broke. read more
