Onieals
“There are also plently of TVs at the bar, the occasional acoustic act, outdoor dining and a quiet dining room in the back.”
“Penne Vodka, French Onion Soup, any of the sandwiches…maybe I should just write down what I don't like since it's all fantastic.”
“And in my 43 years I have never had such good French Onion soup in my life.”

Decent and inexpensive brunch food for the area.
We stopped by as a party of three on a Sunday for brunch, and we had to wait around 30 minutes for a table when arriving at noon given that it's a fairly small space. I split the Alps burger and the Ragin' Cajun burger with a friend, and while it tasted fine and reasonably well prepared, I found the patties to lack any distinctive flavor. I preferred the Ragin' Cajun between the two, but that might have been due to the remoulade and the texture from the crispy onions and not because of any different flavors due to the ingredients. The meal overall was fine and not very expensive, but probably not a place I'd go out of my way to come back to.
This place is one of the better bars in Hoboken in terms of crowd, ambience, and food.
I love that they have outdoor seatings and an intimate dining room in the back aside from the casual atmosphere of the bar upon entering the establishment, giving you three options to enjoy whatever mood you're in.
The crowd is a bit more mature than the crowd you will find at the bars on Washington Street. The vibe is calmer and chilled. There's plenty of tv screens for your viewing pleasures. The staff is friendly and attentive. I ordered the Cajun halibut on a bed of salad. This isn't on the menu but thanks to a yelper I knew they had to have some sort of a fish special on the menu. The portion was beyond generous and it was soooooo good. I complemented the meal with a nice reisling and was fully satisfied.
I highly recommend this place as they do not disappoint.
Enjoyable experience. We wanted to be seated outdoors but there were no tables available so we ate at the bar. The bartender was very attentive and friendly. I got the crab cake sandwich and my husband got the classic burger. Both very yummy! Just a bit hot. I literally burned my lip from the crab cake. Tasty beer too. Only getting four stars though because we waited like 20 minutes for the food order to come through, but we'd go back.
I came to Onieals on a Thursday night for a quick bite to eat. I was quickly seating in the back of the restaurant. In the back it offers a very warm and intimate atmosphere. In the front of the restaurant there is the bar area with a couple high top tables. It would seem like a perfect place to grab a drink with friends. Onieals are known for their burgers and boy are they good. I think you can not go wrong with their burgers and also the portions size are generous. I ordered my burger medium-well and the chef cooked it perfect! After our initial order it took about 10-13 minutes to get our food. The wait time was not bad at all because they gave us bread and our waiter kept checking up on us to make sure we were ok. Also, i must note that the prices here are very reasonable. I would highly recommend Onieals to anyone looking for a good burger from a small intimate local spot.
I would rate Onieals as follows: Food Quality is 4 Stars, Service is 4 Stars, Atmosphere is 4 Stars and Price is 4 Stars.
The views expressed are of my own and are my true personal experience at this establishment. My personal experience may not reflect this actual establishment, their quality or someone else's experience at the establishment.
If you're in Hobo and faced with the 'where should we eat' debate, then I definitely suggest checking out Oneials. The vibe is casual and relaxed, the menu has got plenty of classic and easy to please options and the prices are fair.
I came in with some pals on a Wednesday. Partly because we were hungry and needed some food, but largely because of their 1/2 off wine specials. We had a great experience, and I'd definitely come back again for a meal out in da 'boken. Although there was a bit of a wait for a table, live music and half priced wine at the bar made it easy to pass some time.
All of the burgers sounded incredible, but unfortunately I'm **trying** to be healthy and ended up going with a spinach salad. The spinach was just about the only healthy part because the salad was smothered in bacon and goat cheese- oooopsies. The menu has a ton of options – everything from pasta dishes to crab cakes. Regardless of what food mood you are in, you are guaranteed to find something that you want to eat.
Hoboken has a ton of great dining options, but make sure not to overlook Onieals! If an hour wait on a Wednesday night is any indicator, the food here is pretty damn good. I'll definitely be back in on a weekend to try out some brunch.
During a little side trip to Hoboken while vacationing in NYC, hubby and I wandered the streets in search of a good place to have lunch. We came upon restaurants and Yelped them real quick to determine if we wanted to stop. Finally, after pulling up Onieals and noting their ranking, we decided to give it a shot.
Walked into a pretty decent sized bar with one server moving around the room. She told us we could sit wherever, and for whatever reason we opted for the quieter dining room in the back. It was pretty busy as it was lunch hour, but since we were in the back it felt slightly secluded as there was only one other (single) person in the room.
Menu looked great; it was hard to choose. Finally settled on the Crab Cake Sandwich. And it was GOOD. Lots of crab, not dry in the least, nice and crispy on the outside. The absolute perfect taste and texture. Came with chips, and they're house made which is always always a plus.
Hubby chose the Three B's Burger – blackened, bleu and bacon. He enjoyed it very much. It was pretty large, so good value for the money. And his fries were super good – might even have been house made as well.
I had a couple of Spring Fling pear martinis and they were delicious. I love pear, so was happy to see this drink on the menu.
Sadly, we only stopped in Hoboken to have lunch and wander down Washington Street. If we ever have a next time, I'd no doubt come back to Onieals.
Before even sitting down for my meal I fell in love with the outdoor ambience, the cute little park across the street, and the fact that it was inconspicuously located off a quiet side street away from the hustle and bustle of Washington. It was ideal for enjoying a quiet meal outside whilst people watching. Sidenote- they are dog friendly! Several patrons had their pups beside them at the tables, and the server even brought out water for them, I appreciated that.
Their beer menu is a little lacking. They had a longer list of bottles but on tap they only had a handful. Nevertheless I tried an IPA recommended by the server and I loved it so I was happy. For food the loaded nachos were great, nothing unique or more special than your standard nachos but they were cooked and prepared perfectly (not soggy, cheese melted, all the accoutrements included) so again, I was very satisfied. For my main I got the veggie burger with sautéed mushrooms and onions which was served on a baguette with fries. Although the bread was nice I would have preferred a regular burger bun. Somehow it didn't compliment it very well to me, also the burger itself was dry and lacked seasoning. I suspected it was once a frozen patty, but still it wasn't the worst I've ever had. My boyfriend had a massive burger which was awesome. I would suggest ordering a burger as they have a wide selection on their menu and they are massive!
I would definitely return to try out some other options on their menu. Cute spot for date night!
One of my favorite places to go in Hoboken. It's not the most packed bar, but I'm a big fan of that as you are able to hang out with your friends & have a conversation you can actually hear. They always have some sort of game on their multiple tv's & the music is always on point. The bartenders their are very friendly k they always are willing to suggest a new type of drink to try out. The food their is also excellent, especially their sandwiches. In all its a great place to go & chill with friends.
