Such a cute little gem of a restaurant! Our server David was so personable and attentive and made great recommendations! We tried the Watermelon Salad (so fresh!), Mac and Cheese (loved the breadcrumbs and creaminess), and the Big J Burger (excellent smashed burger and bun!). Thank you for having us!Elizabeth Manna · Google

Absolutely love this place! My boyfriend and I have been coming here for atleast a year now and it has always been a spot that is reliable, great food, and friendly service. Especially Elizabeth, she is lovely, relatable and you can tell she cares and has pride in the business. …Emily Perez · Google
Such a cute place for lunch. Love the vibe. 80s style is my favorite. My Chicken Caesar wrap was delicious. Coffee is strong and so good. The staff were friendly and welcoming. My waitress Mia was very attentive and friendly. …Delia Serrano · Google

Food here is delicious and service was great! The waiter was so nice and explained everything very well. The atmosphere is very fun and inviting — only thing is there is some smoke from the open kitchen. The mac and cheese was one of our favorite— will definitely order again!Alexis Sabbaghian · Google

Where we are
One Hoboken restaurant, four nearby areas
The service area the restaurant publishes itself, how the grid actually works, and what to order if you travelled for it.
The neighborhoods the restaurant names itself
Rather than draw a radius on a map, Uncle Rocco publishes its own service area for catering, which is the best evidence we have of where guests come from.
Inside Hoboken: Castle Point, Downtown, Southwest and the Waterfront. Beyond the city line: Jersey City, Weehawken, Secaucus, West New York and North Bergen.
We hold a full page for Downtown Hoboken, Uptown Hoboken, Jersey City, Weehawken, each with real coordinates, a straight-line distance and directions in terms of the street grid rather than a drive time we have not measured.
Why a one-square-mile city still has neighborhoods
Hoboken is roughly a mile square and gridded, which makes people assume it is all one place. It is not: the southern end around the Terminal is where the transit lands, and Washington Street is the commercial spine.
The uptown blocks north of the numbered streets are quieter and more residential.
Willow Avenue runs the length of the town, one block west of Washington, and we are on it at number 112. That is why the answer to “how do I get there” is usually “stay on Willow.”
What to order depending on how far you came
If you walked here, order whatever you like, you can come back tomorrow. First time in for brunch? Our guide to a first brunch visit walks through the sweet and savory sides of the menu.
If you took the Light Rail up from Jersey City or drove in from Weehawken, it is worth making the trip count. The Whole Rotisserie Chicken Family Meal ($36.00) is the one dish that genuinely rewards planning: local organic chicken, adobo or classic, rice and beans included, 45 minutes and noon onward. Call (201) 238-2484 before you set off rather than after you arrive.
Whichever direction you came from, brunch runs to 4 PM Friday to Sunday, so a late weekend start is not a missed breakfast. Monday to Thursday it ends at the 1 PM close.
