About Jersey City
Jersey City is the largest city in Hudson County and sits directly south of Hoboken. A trip up to us from its downtown can start at Van Vorst Park, City Hall or the Grove Street PATH station, and the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail links the two cities along the waterfront, so a car is optional.
Two Google reviewers name Jersey City in their own words.
I’ve been living in Jersey City for 5 years, and I can’t believe I only just discovered this place. I had the Birria sandwich and it was incredible. Definitely turning into one of my regular spots. Can’t wait to come back and try more from the menu!Harsh Panchal · Google · April 2025

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

We had such a blast tonight! There were eight of us, and we were all super comfy in the back of the room. We were all chatting about the cool and quirky decor. The vibe was just amazing! Most of us went for the smash burger, and it was absolutely delicious! But the California burrito was just as awesome. Even the gluten-free brownie was amazing! The staff was so sweet and helpful too.Natalie Allgyer · Google

I love grabbing lunch here, it makes me feel like I’m stepping into a cleaner version of my grandmothers living room. The food is always so good and the staff is very helpful and accommodating. The bread budding is such a good sweet treat! I never feel rushed to leave so I really get the most out of my meal. …Dorothy Lee · Google

What Jersey City is actually like
Jersey City is a city of its own rather than a Hoboken neighborhood, so coming to us is a trip, not a stroll. Its downtown starts directly south of our end of Hoboken, and both the PATH and the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail run between the two.
Groups can let the food make the trip instead. Jersey City is on our catering list, and a catering order needs 24 hours’ notice for pickup or delivery.
Getting from Jersey City to 112 Willow Ave
Straight-line, Jersey City City Hall sits 1.5 miles from the door, 1.51 on the 2026-09-26 read. That is a distance on a map, not a drive time. We have not timed the drive and will not publish a guess.
From Jersey City the Whole Rotisserie Chicken Family Meal ($36.00) is the dish to phone ahead for. The kitchen needs 45 minutes and only starts it after noon, so call (201) 238-2484 as you leave and collect it at 112 Willow.
Ordering ahead from Jersey City
At 1.5 miles we would plan it. Order on the ordering page or the app and collect, or book a table on Resy so a seat is held for you.
Watch Monday to Thursday from Jersey City: the dining room shuts from 1 PM to 5 PM, and a 3 PM Tuesday arrival finds the door closed. Friday runs straight through to 10 PM, and Saturday and Sunday are one long service from 9 AM.
