Buddy's JC

"Awesome weekend brunch spot with relaxed vibes. Expect a short wait for a table but once you’re seated, they get your order quickly and the food arrives in record time. I’d highly recommend the Hangover Burger, which has blue cheese, bacon, a runny egg, and a sick aioli. Wasn’t sure about the English muffin substituting a bun, but it actually came together perfectly and soaked up the richness and sauces of the burger. Restaurant is not too loud or busy and you can have a nice conversation. The wait crew is friendly and super efficient!"

"My favorite brunch spot in Jersey City hands down! Obsessed with their chicken and waffle. Can’t get enough. Love their fries and their drinks! My favorite is the passion fruit margarita. My husband loves their burger. Service is always great and never a long wait. Also a great spot to watch the game!"

"4/5 Great staff and amazing place for brunch. The pancakes and chicken sandwich are really good. Personally wasn’t the biggest fan of the hangover burger but I can imagine other folks liking it. The chicken (fried crispy chicken a tad dry) and waffles (good flavor but a little too soft/soggy) were flavorful but weren’t our favorite."

"Overall, I thought Buddy JC had an excellent breakfast menu and the location was a safe and clean part of Jersey City. We ordered the Chorizo Guacamole Benedict and the Crab Cake Benedict. I tasted both dishes and I personally felt the Chorizo Guacamole had a great combination of flavor with the poached eggs. My one little critique would be that the Crab Cake Benedict was missing the seafood and/or seasoning flavor which gives off the impression of previously frozen food. I would recommend changing the recipe to add a bit more flavor to the dish. Finally, the French Toast Sticks with fruit toppings was excellent, highly recommended. The customer service was excellent, and we didn't spend unnecessary time waiting around. If you found my review helpful, please follow my local guide profile to see my experiences with other destinations!"

"I’d never heard of Buddy’s until I came with a group this weekend, and was so pleasantly surprised! This is definitely one of the best brunches in JC. The atmosphere is very cute and homey, especially now for the Christmas season. The waitstaff was extremely friendly and efficient. Everything moved very quickly once we were seated. Only note is that it was a bit hectic due to the brunch rush, and our amazing server just seemed a bit rushed between all the tables she was serving. The food was all very good, but the favorite on our table was the Spiced French Toast Sticks! Very excited to come back!"
