Court Street

Love it for its side alley look, but also the fact that it’s not shady. Spent my Sunday evening here and loved the crowd, food and some local upstate/east coast wines and beers

Appetizers started strong. wine was so tasty. wait staff was so full of knowledge and made me feel like a special guest. by the time the main course came out, i was giddy with excitement. everything is perfect. i had brought my friends for a big girls night out. i cannot recommend this place highly enough. life is too short to not treat yourself to the absolute best.

I love that they have lobster and prime rib nights. Almost always have a good meal. I know it’s an establishment but back room could really use a makeover kinda kills the vibe if you’re not older

Always a fantastic meal. Great food, wine list and the staff is awesome. A Comfortable and romantic dinner restaurant. We visit often, cheers 🍷 Back again for prime rib night. Yay Did I mention the great wine list 😊 Back again and loving our dinner - Chicken a la Court St and Coq Au Vin were excellent.

Update: upon going there a second time, the food is still great, I like their presentation. Compared to all the other dishes the Steak was a bit boring perfectly made but it was plated bad. The chocolate parafait was really good, a bit too chocolaty but very delicious. I wanted to go here for a while now. I loved it there. I had cow liver and it tasted awesome. The food was good portion and beautifully served. The staff were polite and friendly and very responsive. Overall I really liked this place.

My new favorite street for an after-work stop, a couple of beers and a football game in Hoboken. The front part is an old school bar, and the back is the main dining area. The food was surprisingly delicious. Monday is the prime rib night. Everybody here seems local and friendly!

This place stays the test of time. Had always been in my top five favorite Hoboken restaurants. Had been living in the city for a while and recently returned, and am happy to report it’s just as good as it’s always been. Tasty food, lots of options. Wine prices on par with the rest of the area, but the quality vs the competition is superior. The vibe, whether in the front pub area or back dining room are each great in their own right. As a local, I’ll be a regular.

Court Street Restaurant, Hoboken – A Time Capsule with a Damn Good Prime Rib Walking into Court Street feels like stepping into a place that time forgot—one of those rare joints that has managed to dodge the soulless clutches of modernity, Instagram gimmicks, and QR code menus. It’s got the bones of an old-school New Jersey haunt: dim lighting, dark wood, a bar that’s seen a few things, and a crowd that actually eats instead of just photographing their plates. Then there’s the Monday night prime rib special—a miracle of inflation-defying generosity. Thirty bucks gets you a big-ass slab of prime rib, three sides, and a French onion soup that’s unapologetically rich, bubbling over with melted Gruyère, and bracingly salty in the way only a proper French onion soup should be. It’s a meal that makes you wonder if you’ve somehow stepped into a wormhole leading directly back to 1997. The prime rib itself? A beauty. Thick, juicy, still blushing in the middle, with just the right amount of fat to remind you why you came. The jus is deep, dark, and almost medicinal in its beefy essence—none of that watered-down nonsense. The sides—some combination of mashed potatoes, creamed spinach, maybe some steamed veggies—do their job, but let’s be honest: you’re here for the meat. The bar, of course, is where you want to be. Regulars perched on stools, sipping whiskey, chatting with the bartender like they actually know each other. No pretense, no nonsense—just good food, stiff drinks, and the kind of place where you could easily lose a few hours and not regret a single second. In a city where every new restaurant feels like it’s trying to sell you on some overpriced, deconstructed nonsense, Court Street remains what it’s always been: a proper neighborhood joint that knows exactly what it is and makes no apologies for it. If you find yourself in Hoboken on a Monday night and you skip this? Well, that’s your mistake.

This was our last night in Jersey and we had a great time. Great service and beautiful setting. Plenty to choose from on the menu. Appetizers were great, food was delicious. Time from ordering to table was great and we couldn't have had a better time.

Now that Court Street had become one of my new favorite dining spots in town, I wound up there again recently and had such a great meal that I needed to write another review. When my friend and I arrived at the cozy venue on a cold and damp Thursday evening, the place was packed like I had never seen; all of the seats at the bar were taken, as were all of the tables, except the one waiting for us. The crowded atmosphere did not affect the gracious service we received, but did cause us to wait quite a long time for our cocktails. Speaking of beverages, I tried something new on that visit, the Sundress Spritz. The bright and refreshing concoction included PAMA Pomegranate Liqueur, champagne, club soda, and lime juice. It was similar to an Aperol Spritz, but was a bit sweeter and allowed me to avoid Aperol's included red food coloring. Our drinks were served with slices of their doughy baguette and a creamy olive tapenade, a duo that I look forward to enjoying each time I am there. Now the true highlight of my meal was a nightly special that I could only hope would join the menu full-time - the Sauteed Filet of Skate. Wow, wow, wow! The skate was well-seasoned and probably the best I had ever had! It was cooked with herbs, saffron, and white wine and was also topped with diced tomatoes. As always, my protein was plated with sauteed vegetables, a beet puree, and my choice of potato, for which I selected the roasted variety. It was the most heavenly plate and such a satisfying meal, especially for only $25! From Court Street's welcoming atmosphere to its excellent food and reasonable prices, it truly delivers a memorable experience!

Great spot for a meet up with friends. There's plenty on the menu for everyone. Prices are fair and the portions were fairly large. They offer gluten free pasta at no charge. Make sure to make a reservation if you go on the weekend.

Have never had a bad experience at this slightly hidden gem. Casual bar menu or a slightly more formal dining room. If you're looking to escape the frat bars, pizza shops or proliferation of bubble tea rooms, Court Street is the place to visit. Great menu of thoughtfully prepared food and drink. Most recent meal was the duck confit with a blueberry sauce, and a beet mash. Friends had a great burger and rabbit. Good service and a nice ambiance.

Extremely Worthy! BEST Restruant in Hoboken! Why... consistent! That.easy! Consistent...yum yummy. Excellent Tpanad ( wrong spelling- olive spread)!

Absolutely fantastic restaurant in almost all ways. The restaurant/bar is tucked away on 6th & Court St right off Washington St. It's a classy and refined establishment frequently by a mature crowd. The bar was lively on a Tuesday evening, and the white tableclothed tables were all full by the time I left at 8 PM. The service is impeccable. The waiters frequently visited to check how we were doing. They even topped off my water glass when it was already full! I ordered the chicken a la court street and my date ordered the chicken marsala. The chicken was cooked to perfection; it was juicy, tender, and flavorful. The chicken was topped with great prosciutto and fresh mozzarella that rivaled the best Italian delis in Hoboken. A la court street came with cooked vegetables, sweet potato, and waffle fries. The vegetables and sweet potato were good, but the waffle fries were brittle and flavorless like a Cheeto with no flavor. I tried a bite of the chicken marsala and it was also cooked to perfection. I totally understand why this restaurant is considered the best in Hoboken and why it's considered a perfect date spot. Excellent service, food, atmosphere, and class.

Court st is great for a casual dinner by the bar or for a more formal dinner in the back dining room. The menu is extensive which is nice. I ordered the chicken franchise and really enjoyed it

I'm still visiting them for lobster fest but honestly I cannot recommend them anymore after my last visit. When they start charging the credit card processing fee (3%) post pandemic I expected it to be something that will go away once they are back on track however it lasts into 2024. And then they charged me $1 for substitute fries with sweet potato fries. I'm afraid the price will simply keep going up.

My favorite place in Hoboken! By far has the best menu, I love the daily specials, different available options, and drink menu. I would recommend everyone try out the food here. I had the clams casino, stuffed avocado with crab, and steak.

Really wanted to like this place but vodka sauce chicken parm was was inedible. I eat a lot of Italian food out and it was mind boggling that this restaurant thought the vodka sauce was acceptable to serve, it was like eating pasta covered in coffee creamer. No tomatoes detected in the vodka sauce. It was genuinely so bad it was strange to have been served. My husband was sick for 3 days after eating here. Would not return.

Visiting from out of town found this place I thought was just a bar but to my surprise it also has a beautiful dining room staff was outstanding and the food was amazing

Food is great so are the drinks Love when they have Pumpkin Martinis which is seasonal Service is fantastic Atmosphere is pretty A great local restaurants

Had it not been for the fact that I was eating with my boss and didn't want to seem like a weirdo snapping pics of my plate, I would have shared a photo of what had to be the best lamb shank I've ever ordered in life. The portion was big and came with sides of mashed potato and broccoli. The food here in dang good!

I've only been here for the Lobster special on Wednesday night. For $35 you get a 1.25lb lobster, potato, vegetable, and soup/salad. Pretty good deal and food was good overall. Will definitely be back at some point to try the regular entrees.

I had brunch at Court Street for the first time this weekend! Prior to this, I've only really gone to Court street for dinners and drinks at the bar (pre covid). We made a reservation for two at 1:30 pm (you have to call for reservations) and had a high top table in the bar area right by the front door. At first I was concerned we'd be cold right by the door, but there was a heater right under our table that worked very well. The restaurant was completely full/booked for brunch and many walk-ins were turned away while we were there. For brunch drinks, I tried their espresso martini. I had recently saw a photo of their espresso martini in a HobokenGirl post and I was skeptical it would be good since it had a much lighter color. It was pretty good- they use a lot of baileys in their's which is why it has the light color. It was very dessert like. My friend had a bloody mary. For meals, I tried the Jersey sandwich which had egg, taylor ham and cheddar cheese on a Kaiser roll. It was delicious and huge! It came with choice of fries/salad/home fries and I went with their waffle fries since they are always really good. My friend had the avocado chicken sandwich with fries. The nice thing about their brunch is that it includes a basket of their Irish Soda bread - very tasty & fresh. Our server was very friendly and it was a nice leisurely brunch!

We ordered the vodka chicken parm which was honestly disgusting. The vokda sauce for the pasta was like a white cream soup and the chicken was deep fried. We didn't finish it it was so bad. I also got food poisoning from this dish, and couldn't eat for the next 2 days. I will say, the bread, butter and French onion soup were actually quite nice, but the inconsistency in the food here is not acceptable.

Poisoned mouse crawling around the restaurant. Used to love court street for their food and ambience. Went recently for brunch. Got a Reuben which was decent and my girlfriend got a Cobb salad with chicken. Cobb salad with chicken was $24 and came with slimy romaine and no dressing. It was a sad salad that could be replicated by the least talented home cook out there. We had to ask for dressing. Girlfriend got sick later in the day, seemingly with food poisoning, which lasted into the next day. Later, a poisoned and disoriented mouse came crawling out about halfway through our meal, at which point our waitress stepped on it, picked it up, and brought it into the back. I wish I could say this was a false story because I've loved Court Street for their prime rib night and overall vibe, but this was a pitiful experience. You can get significantly better food at plenty of places in the area. Positives: Chill bar vibe and nice people working there.

Came here unexpectedly after a walk and so glad I did. We sat at the bar and had appetizers which were delicious (mussels). The menu is printed out every day with the specials. Such a cozy friendly spot!

I LOVE THIS PLACE!! First time here I couldn't wait to come back the food was great and the staff was amazing!! Kind, quick, knew what they were doing and just awesome!! Just got back in town and couldn't wait to get back!! Having an amazing Sunday brunch! Ya feel like family and forever friends!! Thank you !! My fav Hoboken spot for a beer and amazing food!!

I was walking to another restaurant when this small bar caught my husbands attention. We were immediately greeted by Arthur. Since it was Sunday, I had to have my bubbly. My husband wanted an IPA, he said to Arthur can we talk IPA? We learned so much from him about IPA and wine. That's what makes a good bartender. We were brought a bread basket with a twist. It had a side of tapenade that they also sell. I ordered the salmon appetizer. 5 large pieces of smoked salmon, capers, onions, tomatoes, dill dipping sauce on a dinner size plate. I was happy!! My husband ordered the chorizo and shrimp appetizer also enough for two people. We had such great time meeting new people and laughing with my new favorite bartender. 6 hours goes by quickly when mix good food, beverage, and people.

Steak and frites was bad. I'd like to know what cut of meat that was. Asked for med rare and came well done. No marbling or char. Was like a boiled piece of meat with moldy butter on top, nearly inedible. Fries came cold, soggy, and oily. Waited an hour for this. The angel hair with cream sauce and tomatoes was phenomenal. Unfortunately the slow service and fresh from refrigerator tomato and mutz, coupled with my "steak" have brought me to giving Court Street a 2/5. Will be back for pasta and beers, thats about it

Service was good and food was prepared quickly. I got the lobster fest but the lobster was not to my liking it had green in the tail and when said something about it was told it's normal. I have never seen green in any lobster I have had.

The service and food is always outstanding ! We love Court Street ! If we don't have a reservation , they always try and accommodate!

We came to Court Street on a week night and really enjoyed it. You enter through the bar with the dining area in the back. The dining area is tables with white table cloths and it's nicely lit and warm. The service is good and while not super knowledgeable they were friendly and attentive. The menu is large - the specials as an example could have been their own menu. I had a glass of cab, the popeye salad, guac and chips, a baked potato and the whole wheat penne primavera while my friend had the prime rib which looked great. Everything was tasty and I appreciated they had quality vegan options. The prices are super reasonable especially for the wines by the glass. I really appreciated this given how expensive everything is these days. I'll definitely be back - great neighborhood restaurant.

I stumbled on this place while being out of town for work. This is a great bar and restaurant. The lobster fest is an awesome meal. I alshad the escargot and French onion soup. Everything tasted great. Great prices and the service was on point. I will definitely come back when I am in the area.

Omg gross! I am feeling better today but this was the worst decision i made to have my boyfriend go and pick up dinner from this place. We ordered salmon with veggies , steak and lobster and stuffed crab mushrooms. Everything was disgusting BUT the lobster and bread. The stuffed mushrooms were okay. Now for the salmon it smelled so bad and had the worse taste! I'm still nauseas from thinking about this salmon. Please beware! The steak was OVERCOOKED and completely cheap steak. Will not be coming back here as the price they charge is ridiculous to receive this type of food.

I came across a picture of a dinner dish from this place on Instagram a few weeks ago and have been dying to go ever since - definitely lived up to the high expectations I had! They start you off with complimentary bread that comes with butter and tapenade. We ordered the cream of mushroom soup (loved) and the shrimp & chorizo app (very good as well). For our entrees, we both ordered the lobster & shrimp pasta that had this delicious basil lemon garlic sauce. Unfortunately we had no room for desert, as we were already rolling out of there. IF we were to get desert, the profiteroles that we kept seeing go by, looked incredible.

Great service, feels like a little hidden gem of a place. Great for date night or bar hang

Ate here one night with my boyfriend. We ordered the special. Some things we wanted they were out of. Disappointed. We wanted to sit at the bar but it was reserved. An older gentleman came in and sat there by himself. So many seating options. So we were a little turned off by that from the start. Service was okay. Food was not great. Overpriced. We likely will not return. Maybe for lobster. But it's probably overpriced too.

Another great evening! Took a friend here for her birthday and really enjoyed everything! She really liked her potato crusted tilapia and of course my burger was delicious!! We also tried the baked Brie appetizer- perfect to share! I love this place, highly recommend! Don't forget to try a slice of pie and say hi to Jeff behind the bar!

Went for Hudson Restaurant Week Dinner Food - 5/5. Bread was scrumptious with the tapenade adding a neat salty yet savory spread. Crab legs were phenomenally well seasoned as the rich brine of the crab really came out while none of the aroma was present. By itself the crab was great but the homemade mustard sauce made it even better! The creamy yet piquant sauce was a great addition to the crab. Wild boar sausage was true to its name combining the rich flavors of a pork and the gaminess of boar. Red pepper fettuccine had a perfect al dente bite and meshed well with the sauce. Warm brownie was moist with the vanilla ice cream adding a creamy coolness. The grand marnier sauce really made the finishing touch to this dessert with its subtle sweetness and fragrance of orange being a perfect complement to the chocolate and vanilla. Absolutely wonderful food! Service - 4/5. Professional and courteous. Value - 5/5. Court Street had one of the best restaurant week menus I have ever seen. Usually it is a few items that stick out for me in terms of desirability, uniqueness and value but Court Street's menu had me perplexed to pick which one of the great choices I'll have to settle for. All the wonderful choices and delicious food for $35 is an amazing deal. Great place to dine! Parking - Street (Metered)

Had only been for brunch in the past but finally made it here for a quick dinner! They have a nice bar room but we sat in the main dining room and were spaced nicely from other diners. The waitress was super attentive and friendly and gave great recommendations. Solid choice of wine and cocktails! The French onion soup was the right amount of salty and covered in cheese and came out piping hot! We weren't too hungry after the soups so we split the beef burgundy after a recommendation from our waitress and boy were we glad! The beef literally fell apart when you bit into it. So much flavor and over perfectly cooked egg noodles! We considered getting a second one to go for the next day! Cannot wait to come back and try other things on the menu. I suggest if you're going on a weekend for dinner, make a reservation or call ahead!

very sad.. walked in to a full bar as always went with 3 others looking for a table for 4. To my surprise on a Friday night there were 10 empty tables, the hostess looked me in the eyes and said sorry "our next opening is 830" I looked again counted the empty seats and said are you sure? The hostess with this expressionless face looked at me and said nothing. I would of excepted "sorry there's a party coming " but nothing!! Did I mention there were people eating in there...Well good luck Dan, after going to your establishment for 30+ years, family parties, baby showers and all other celebrations we will no longer give you and the friendly hostess the time of day..

I thought the food here was just okay. We loved their blueberry mule - probably highlight of the meal (plus the baked brie!!!) We ordered the beef carpaccio, baked brie, swprdfish, and steak. Steak was cooked to perfection and baked brie was soooo yummy. Beef carpaccio was a little skimpy on the beef imo, and the swordfish plating was a little weird to me but still yummy. We had to wait a little bit for a table, but it wasn't the worst thing ever! My boyfriend had a great time so I can't complain.

Great place for a casual meal. Loved seeing the Women's NCAA Final Four tournament being played at the bar!

Another trip from GA to NJ and had to take the family to Court Street. Awesome chicken parmigiana and the best profiteroles anyone has ever had. Court Street is a must for great dining in Hoboken.

This place is hidden on 6th and Washington. A very cozy place with homey food. The first time I came I got the pasta ragu, which was okay. But my friends got fish and chicken and they really liked it. I decided to try this place out again because my friends' dishes were so good and I ended up getting one of the specials for the night. First, we started off with bread and it comes with this really tasty olive spread (I forgot the name). If you are not into olives then you won't like it. So I got the pork chop with a light tomato garlic sauce with vegetables and it was so good. The pork was so filling and the sauce was the perfect amount of tomatoey and garlicy. It came with some sort of beet or sweet potato side and I wasn't really about it, but that's also because I'm not that into sweet potato. The dessert menu looked good but I was so stuffed from my meal I only stuck with the entree. The service was really nice and would come here again to try something different. Their lamb shank looks so good, can't wait to try that next!

Best burgers in Hoboken! Small, quiet, chill bar with great food. This place is more upscale then you would think from a side street bar. The dining room menu you has a lot of great options and often has a ton of specials. I went again last week and they had about 20 specials on the menu- swordfish, lamb shank, venison, ossobuco- things you don't see at a normal bar.

Had a lovely dinner here with small group of friends. There is something for everyone on the menu! The service atmosphere and the good is consistent and delicious.

This is my absolute favorite dinner and happy hour spot in Hoboken, especially on Mondays for their Prime Rib Special. Great location, fast and friendly service, great wine and beer list, diverse menu (and everything is fresh, plentiful and delicious), and a cozy ambiance. Keep up the good work!

3 of us Came here for Sunday brunch. None of us really liked our food. Most of it came out cold. Very over priced for breakfast. Go to BluestoneLane or O'Bagel, you'll be much happier.

From the outside looking in, Court Street looks like a regular bar. However, if you venture in past the bar, you'll see that they actually have a proper dining room in the back. I came in with my boyfriend and his parents on a Thursday at around 8, and it wasn't too packed. To start, we had the brie baked in a puff pastry, and the calamari. Both were great. The brie was nice and melty inside the perfectly toasted pastry. The calamari was extra crispy, without being or tasting too oily. As for the entrees, these were a bit lackluster. I had the penne with wweet Italian sausage. It was pretty basic - nothing I couldn't make at home. Unlike the appetizers, this on the other hand, was a bit too oily. But it might be from the sausage, which they did give a pretty generous portion of, so can't really complain about that. The prices have a pretty huge range. Some dishes are pretty reasonably priced (like my pasta dish, which was $13), but others seem to be expensive for no reason (like crab cakes for $24). Not sure I would be back for a whole meal, but I don't mind stopping by for some appetizers.

Another wonderful dinner at my favorite Hoboken restaurant! Service, food, and cocktails were all outstanding.

You can't go wrong with this place. A local hidden gem with some of the best food in Hoboken. Extensive menu with tons of options -- from hearty to healthy. Seafood is so fresh and tasty. Sit by the bar or enjoy back dining room. Absolute must.

Solid and reasonably priced brunch placed in the middle of Hoboken. I've been before for dinner and to grab drinks but not for brunch. Brunch is what they do best w/o a doubt. Excellent drink menu including pitchers of Bloody Mary's or Mimosas for $12. Attentive service, good ambiance, and a wide menu will welcome you. They do a brisk business but didn't seem to mind my friend and I sitting for a bit after we paid to catch up. I ordered the Eggs Florentine Benedict ($11) which was delicious. They do a great poached egg and I was really glad I ordered them as the eggs were cooked well and ran the just right amount when I cut into them. My friend got 3 eggs any way and also got the poached eggs so highly recommended. It also came w/some broccoli and home fries on the side though the home fries were a bit too greasy and crispy for my taste. All entrees also come with fresh fruit and soda bread which were good. A ton of food for $11.

Our favorite place in Hoboken. Friday and Saturday they serve potatoes au gratin that are to die for

This restaurant has been here forever! It's not the most exciting looking place in town, so hasn't really been on my list of places to eat at, but one of my girls friends made a booking for a girls night so we ended up going. I absolutely loved the food and the drinks - they made me a mean Jersey Mule and then repeated it perfectly! For dinner we ended up getting 2 salads for the table - the Peach Avocado salad and the Tri Color Salad both of which were incredible - just fresh and flavorful and oh so good!! I got the Arctic Char for my main which was really fabulous with a side of Potatoes Au Gratin and a Corn & Mango Salsa. We also got the Filet of Sole, the Pork Chops which were on the daily special and the Salmon which were all very, very good. The portion sizes were rather large and most of us couldn't finish but we were offered boxes to take away. The waitress was super accommodating and offered to sub out anything that we wanted for a variety of different sides. We ordered the Profiteroles for dessert to share and since they come three to an order, she sweetly recommended increasing it to four for a slight upcharge. Glad we did since they were yummy! Will definitely have to try and make it here again soon!

Legit Irish Soda bread!!!! Brunch was very good. the food and drinks were great, Irish soda bread was exceptional! Terrific weekend spot.

The food is always pretty good here. I will not sit at the bar ever again moving forward if Jeff is behind the bar. I've been here too many times to remember. Every time I've sat at the bar and he was back there he as an attitude. Unless you're one of his regulars he's not a nice guy. Friends of mine that don't know each other have had similar experiences with him as did my wife when she went with a girlfriend. He wasn't just having a bad day because he is always like this. This was confirmed again the other night. I'm not asking for the bartender to be my best friend or to chew my ear off all night but is it so hard to pretend like I'm not bothering you by ordering a drink or sitting at the bar ?
