Family brunch in Hoboken: what the kids can order at Uncle Rocco

Uncle Rocco has a Kid's Menu of its own next to the brunch board, and the full kitchen stays open while brunch runs. Here is what a family table can order, and when.

Avocado Toast at Uncle Rocco, 112 Willow Ave, Hoboken
The Avocado Toast: whipped ricotta, avocado and roasted cherry tomatoes.

For a family brunch in Hoboken, Uncle Rocco at 112 Willow Ave keeps a Kid's Menu beside the brunch board, and the rest of the kitchen stays open while brunch is on. So the children, the adults who want eggs and the adults who want a burger can all order at the same table.

The Kid's Menu

The Kid's Menu has six items. The Nuggets & Fries plate is six dino nuggets with french fries and a choice of the house-made sauces to dip them in. The Little Mac is the kid's mac and cheese. The Kids Pasta comes with a choice of marinara or butter. The other three are a plain plate of fries and two drinks.

Kid's Menu itemPrice
Nuggets & Fries (six dino nuggets, fries, a dipping sauce)$12.00
Little Mac (kid's mac and cheese)$7.00
Kids Pasta (marinara or butter)$7.00
Just French Fries$6.00
Orange Juice$5.00
Horizon Chocolate Milk$5.00

One thing to watch when you order: the Little Mac is not the Mac 'n Cheese on the Apps & Pasta list. That one is the adult dish, cheddar cheese sauce under lemon herb crumbs, at $15.00.

What the adults order

The brunch board has eight items. The savory side is the Breakfast Burrito (avocado, eggs, tater tots and cheddar), the Avocado Toast and the Bacon, Egg & Cheese On A Roll. The sweet side is the Nutella-stuffed brioche French toast and the Lemon Olive Oil Pancake. Bacon, hash browns and fries make up the sides. The brunch in Hoboken page lists each one with its price.

Coffee is bottomless at $5.00. The two iced lattes, Teddy Graham and Bread Pudding, are $9.00 each.

When the table wants different meals

The full menu runs alongside brunch, so burgers, salads, the vodka rigatoni and the rotisserie chicken can all be ordered during the brunch hours. A family that wants one shared main can ask for the Whole Rotisserie Chicken Family Meal: local organic chicken with adobo or classic spices, with rice and beans. It is made from noon and takes 45 minutes, so order it early in the visit. The family meal guide has the rest.

Brunch hours

Brunch starts at 9 AM every day. Friday to Sunday it runs to 4 PM. Monday to Thursday it runs to the 1 PM close, and the dining room then shuts until 5. A family that sleeps in on a weekday has until one o'clock; on a weekend the kitchen is still making pancakes at three.

Booking a table for the family

Tables are booked through Resy, and walk-ins are welcome. The booking box on our brunch page goes up to eight guests; for a larger family group, call (201) 238-2484. There is outdoor seating and a back patio as well as the dining room.

For a family occasion that needs its own space, such as a birthday, the private dining room has a door that closes, and the backyard is the bigger option. Our birthday meal guide covers what to ask first.

Allergies and dietary needs

The dietary page lists the meat-free dishes and the gluten-free dessert, a brownie with ice cream. An open kitchen this size cannot promise a fully separate preparation area. For a child with an allergy, tell your server before ordering, or call ahead.

Ordering for home instead

The Kid's Menu is on the online ordering page too, for pickup or delivery, so the same Nuggets & Fries, Little Mac or Kids Pasta can come home with the rest of the order.
