Had a really nice Valentine's Day dinner with my favorite 5 year old & her parents last night. They had a table reserved for us on the first floor but my little friend asked if we could go upstairs and they accommodated us, so that was extremely nice. They took note of her allergy to dairy and made sure that nothing touched her food. She had pasta with sauce, and I had fish and chips. The fish and chips were good and definitely enough. My little friend borrowed a piece of bacon from her mother and crumbled it into her pasta. I love that kid. Bacon makes everything better. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is a tad noisy for trying to hear anyone.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]However, it is attractive and they we're playing '80s music, which surprised me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I guess they were aimed at my age group. My friends had burgers and they looked delicious. One of the burgers was served without a bun because the parent is gluten free and said that she has had their gluten-free buns before but they fall apart because of the burger juice. It was a great evening and service was excellent. The Steph didn't seem to mind when my little friend became very exuberant and played with her toys. read more

The food was very good and the service was great. We had Jessica as our server. She was friendly and helpful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a fun atmosphere and my family really enjoyed our meal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My only complaint was that when I looked up the menu online I was craving a salad, but it turns out that they have another location and the menu is different and I was unable to get that salad. That was disappointing. read more

Jam packed place that excepts reservations. This was huge. We had no idea how busy this place would be. My buddy Neil found this place for us to stop by after we took our moonrise photos. Walked in we were brought directly to our table. Seasonal beers were available this is a huge plus for me. Out with the pumpkin and in with the winter beers. Love a rotating stock. That tells you it's fresh. As busy as they were I can't imagine anything not being fresh. We started off with the fried pickles and the sauce they came with was the perfect combination. I went with their standard double burger and double cheese. Essentially two smashed patties stacked together. Burger was great. While very busy the seating is very close. You can hear every other conversation around you. Not the place for a private conversation but great for friends and family. Let's go!!! read more

A number of burger options here so I chose the Hamilton Park which includes bacon. Overall the burger felt dry. It comes with choice of side like salad, fries or you can upgrade your fries for a few bucks more. I chose their regular fries and it was not very crispy. The fries were a bit pale. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was crowded on the weekend that I was there so maybe that's why the food didn't seem cooked well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Also took while for the food to arrive. Maybe would try this place again when it's not as busy. read more

White Star Warren - This is the $18 shrimp appetizer. - Burgers Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

We had the Essex Burger($19) and a fish and chips($19) for dinner. The staff were all very nice, friendly, and competent. The service here is always better than what I expect. The Essex Burger was delicious. The blue cheese had a nice flavor. The bacon was tasty. It is reminiscent of the flavors often found on chicken wings. And the burger was cooked to a perfect medium-rare. I've had the Hamilton several times before, which I love. However, the Essex is my new favorite. My wife almost always gets the Essex, I should have tried it earlier. The fish n' chips were almost as good as fish n' chips you might find in the freezer section of a budget supermarket. I don't know how to describe the texture, it wasn't soggy, but it wasn't right. The Tartar sauce was completely flavorless, which was confirmed by my wife. There wasn't enough fish, which turned out to be a blessing. A fish lost its life for this, it's plates like this that make me consider becoming a vegetarian like my nana. But then I tried the cole slaw and almost gagged, yuck. Fish n' chips was such a huge L, that I'm not even going to consider it in my rating of the restaurant, it was that bad. read more

Very friendly and fast service. Outside patio is spacious and fully shaded. Black bean burger was great, garlic parm fries well seasoned with a spicy chipotle aioli, and super fresh kale Cesar salad. read more

First time I came here was good. Second time was a disaster. They do not take cross-contamination seriously. I got a burger with a GF bun and a Caesar salad without croutons. It came out with croutons and said I needed a new salad. They brought it back after just having taken the croutons off and they missed crumbs. Had to ask them for a brand new salad and move my burger to a diff plate, even though I really should have asked them to remake it after all that. They did take off the meal from the bill which was nice but still not a fun way to have a meal and risk getting sick. read more

Walked in on a hot humid Sunday afternoon with a large group of 10 adults. Host was super friendly and accommodating, he organized a table and promptly seated us. Our waiter came over immediately with water and took our drink order. Decent selection of beers which were ice cold and perfect to watch the Euro Championship. Our waiter let us know the place is known for their burgers which many of us ordered. Fresh made patties. The steak sandwich and vodka sauce chicken parm were great options too. If you're looking for a great burger, beer and great service, you can't go wrong at White Star. read more

I come here some times when meeting friends for a quick one in the neighborhood. Consistent food, ok service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nothing too special about the ambiance here, pretty basic neighborhood joint, but we like it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This past visit, some of the couscous was undercooked and hard/crunchy though which is atypical. Usually cant go wrong with the chicken and the salmon, two best entrees on the menu. read more

Go here very often, and the food is always amazing and consistent. The menu is pretty diverse so you can get bar food type appetizers, burgers/sandwiches or even a chicken/salmon type dish. They make a good espresso martini and if you go trying the fried pickles are a MUST (seriously I don't know how they make them but it's miles above any other fried pickles I've ever had). The pierogi appetizer is also really good, but it's a special so not always available! read more

White Star Warren is OG White Star's rich sibling. In essence they are the same, but Warren street's patrons are a bit more respectable and well heeled. That said I always find their space welcoming and cozy, even when it is fairly busy. I also love the private room upstairs for small gatherings. Stopped by recently to try the new specials spicy rigatoni and pierogies. Food was pretty good as usual, and the portion size of the rigatoni was generous. Service was great as usual. read more

I haven't been to White Star since before COVID19 and wanted to check it out again with my friend since it's so close to the lightrail. I always loved the look of the place and I like how they added dividers between tables. They are taking some precaution. They did not check temperature but all staff were wearing masks. The hostess was welcoming and we were seated very quickly. Our waitress was very nice and catered to our table quickly throughout the evening. Me and my friend got the Winter Punch which is a rum drink and it was pretty tasty. We ordered the buffalo wings for apps and it was delicious! Never disappoints. Perfectly seasoned and cooked. I do wish there was more buffalo sauce on them...it was all sitting at the bottom. For my entree I ordered the White Star Burger and I did not realize until afterward but the waitress never asked me how I wanted it cooked. Sucks because it came way too undercooked for me to love it but I still finished it all. Lots of good flavors and I love me some caramelized onions! The fries were good, nothing great about them. They could've use more salt tbh. My friend enjoyed her Shrimp Poboy and it was huge for her to finish in one sitting so she took most of it home. Overall I would recommend this spot for a chill atmosphere and a place to have conversation because luckily the music wasn't so loud as other places I go. Do get the buffalo wings!! read more

Good vibes, great music (never too loud) and really chill atmosphere for dinner. Best later in the evening for date night when the local underage humans are in bed. Spaghetti squash (dinner only) is the best thing on the menu. Delicious, flavorful, ample portion and lovingly prepared--every time. read more

Always a good meal here. The past few visits I told myself I'd try something new, but I can never resist ordering their Paulus Hook burger (portabella, carmelized onions, Swiss, truffle mayo). It's such a rich and juicy burger, and I loved the truffle and mushroom flavors with it! My friends like their other burgers/sandwiches too, and we've never been disappointed. I'm also a fan of their fries, which are golden thin crispiness...just how I like 'em! They also have a solid drink selection; during my last dinner here, I had their frozen drink of the day, which was an aperol spritz. Definitely on the sweet side but still a nice cold drink in the summer! read more

tl; dr: simple, low-key, no frills brunch in JC. came here late Sunday afternoon and the place was still decently packed. we opted to sit at the bar and had the following: -eggs benedict: nicely poached eggs, good hollandaise (perfect consistency and flavor), and good portion size. -big star: two eggs any style (bf chose over medium), choice of breakfast meats (bacon, sausage, or ham), multigram toast, and home fries. bf liked it and had leftovers to take home. -americano: wanted brewed coffee but they didn't have it, so i opted for americano instead and this was pretty good. our bartender was attentive and timely. portion size was good and well-priced. we liked this place and will return! read more

Been coming here for a long time. The Salad Bowls and portions on fries have been reduced by the owner and it's noticeable. The price remains the same at $18 for a Cobb Salad that seems like a side salad now. As a regular customer, I won't be coming back as the value is no longer there. read more

Hard to believe I haven't reviewed White Star Warren. I eat here all the time. The reason I eat here all the time? It's just a reliable spot. I can confidently say that I have never had anything bad to eat here. The space is large yet cozy. Even when it's packed it never feels hard to snag a spot. The service is friendly and speedy. It's pretty much just a win win every time. Some of my favorite eats are the buffalo cauliflower and wings, the sliders, and the fried chicken sandwich. The burgers are juicy and always cooked to perfection. Wash everything down with one of the many unique beers offered on draft. It's always cool to see taps that you don't normally see around town here. One of my favorite spots in JC, always! read more

Horrible customer service. I called in 53 minutes before restaurant closes to order a sweet potato fries to go. Then got hang up immediately without any explanation. Can anyone tell me what went wrong. read more

Came here for dinner and have been wanting to for some time . The decor is that of an upscale fine pub as it relates to the food ( which is excellent ). The menu is diner/pub inspired but don't let it fool you. We ordered drinks , Buffalo cauliflower and burgers. All were simply perfect and just what the doctor ordered - throw in the perfect fries and I was a happy camper . Service was very good as well . Really great place for some stellar , high end comfort food! read more

Went to Whitestar for dinner this week with a group of friends; As a party of 6, they couldn't fit us outside so we were seated in one of the large booth tables inside, although pretty cozy for 3 men and 3 women. Everything had been off to a good start until our waitress brought out our first round of drinks. The waitress spilled the cocktail completely onto the table and all over two of the men. She seemed very flustered, barely apologized, and didn't rush back with napkins or a towel to wipe off the table. We were shocked when she actually went over to a couple other tables to service them instead. Finally one of the guys went to the bar to get napkins and cleaned up the mess she made since no one was coming to do it. It was extremely bizarre and poor service. Getting to the food - To start we shared the fried pickles, buffalo cauliflower and an order of wings. All very tasty. For mains, most people got burgers. I tried the chopped cobb salad with cheddar cheese instead of blue. They forgot to put the dressing on the side which I requested but it was fine. I really liked the salad. The burgers were all huge portions and came with a lot of fries - their fries are good. My friends felt like the martini glasses got smaller since the last time they were there precovid. They did give a pretty generous wine pour. At the end of the meal when our bill came, we were also pretty shocked that the one cocktail the waitress spilt on the two guests wasn't taken off the bill. We assumed at least one item would have been comped since she spilt the drink on them. Gratuity was already added since we were a party of 6. The other unfortunate thing that happened was a giant piece of the wood in the booth broke off and stabbed my friend in the leg when she was trying to get in & out to use the restroom. She had a pretty bad scratch and splinter. Overall, food was good; service needs some work. read more

A friend of mine and I just came here to meet someone for a quick cocktail. It was a cute spot and dog friendly, for those dog lovers. The parking can be tough here but got lucky with a decent spot. We sat outside and luckily I had a jacket because it was cool out. We were served by this very nice lady. I ordered a sangria and pinot nior and my friend ordered a jalapeño margarita. My sangria and pinot nior were ok. My friend enjoyed his drink though. All in all we had a pretty decent experience. read more

So the first time I came here was for brunch on a Sunday afternoon with a group of probably 8 and I have to say it was a little disappointing which we chalked up to the fact that this was the only place in jersey city we could walk into on a Sunday morning with 8 people and be seated immediately. The server was definitely new and had no idea what she was doing. We asked her that grumpy coffee was and she literally had to go ask for us to find out it's just regular coffee. There are like 10 things on the menu for brunch. The service was extremely slow that day and I got the fritter which I did not enjoy. A lot of other people got burgers and I think they were fairly happy. I was just unhappy that the service was slow and I had to ask for water like 3 times. I was so thirsty and she was not getting it. But then my friend and I had taken our dogs to the pier nearby and decided to try it again for a quick lunch. We sat outside obviously with the dogs. We both got salads and they were awesome! I got salmon on my salad and it was tender and perfectly seasoned. We also got iced coffees and they really hit the spot. The vibe outside was really nice and the service was good. Maybe it was just our server the first day or maybe outside is just significantly better but I've changed my mind. read more

This is one of my go-to spots in JC. Great burgers, fair prices, and cozy atmosphere. I highly recommend getting the truffle fries-- they're very crispy with the perfect amount of truffle. I always get a burger of some kind, and the double double cheeseburger is my favorite so far (I'm a sucker for a classic cheesy burger with sesame bun), but they really are all great and juicy. They also have really good fried pickles (chip version with great pickle to breading ratio) and buffalo cauliflower bites. I might recommend making the cauliflower a little more "buffalo-y" but they're very tasty and crispy, not mushy like some other places. Great spot! read more

My boyfriend and I just moved to Jersey City and were looking for a late night dinner. Luckily, this spot was open. This restaurant/bar was pretty small, but had an upstairs. This spot was like a small, casual, but intimate spot where you can have a chill night with friends, a date, or a small family outing. It seemed like this place was popular for their burgers. I ordered a lemonade cocktail (2 because it was really good), my boyfriend and I ordered buffalo wings, and the hamilton burger cooked medium with a side of fries. Both choices were tasted great. The burger was juicy, the fries were crispy, and the buffalo wings were really good. I could definitely come back here because of how good the food was. The service was okay though. It was difficult at times to get the servers attention so, but it was not that big of a deal. Will definitely be returning and trying more on their menu read more

I have to say that this my FAVOURITE BRUNCH SPOT in Jersey city. I wouldn't restrict my love to just the Brunch menu, but I truly love their All day menu as well. I most recently had their Salmon (which I have had several times before) and the "medium rare" was cooked to perfection, super juicy and delicious. The vibe here is super chill, I always enjoy the service - they don't hover, nor do they forget you - which is indeed a difficult balance to find! I like their cocktails too, although I feel they could use more work (or more prosecco in the mimosa). read more

White Star Warren - Pan Roasted Salmon - Burgers Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

I've heard great things about White Star from friends, and finally got around to trying it a few days ago. It definitely did not disappoint! We arrived around 9pm on a Thursday evening and were seated immediately. We took the second to last open table, so the restaurant was pretty packed for the time of evening. I can imagine this place probably has a long wait during prime dinner hours and on weekends. The food here is outstanding. I ordered the Journal Square burger and it was juicy, fresh and flavorful. I'm a huge fan of over-easy eggs on burgers, so the Journal Square burger was right up my alley. My boyfriend ordered the Exchange Place burger and enjoyed it as well. I did knock off a star for portion size. We often eat at Buddy Who's and I've found that their burgers are much larger and they serve more French fries with the burger. However, I like the ambiance at White Star better and feel that they have more unique burger offerings, so I'll definitely be back here! read more
