Maybe the best restaurant in New Jersey! I can't recommend this restaurant enough! All the food options are excellent and the portion sizes are large! The only exception is that the burger seemed kinda lazy. That doesn't matter though because the food I got was life changing! The Barbacoa Short Rib was huge, spicy, and delicious. We got that and the Mac and Cheese. It turned out to be really smart because combining the two is easy and delicious! We felt like mad scientist who had discovered the cure to the common cold! We also order a toasted baguette with butter because we had to try the bread from the oldest bakery in NJ. Totally worth it! Also don't be a dummy, save room for the Bread Pudding, it's the best thing you'll ever have. Really great spot to impress a date or have a nice date night with your partner!

Unexpectedly tasty! I went into Antique with little to no expectations and they wowed me. The place is the oldest working bakery that used to service all of Hoboken! So of course we had to try their bread. We ordered a fresh baguette and it may have been better than bread I had in Paris. The Mac and Cheese was pretty standard. My fiancée got the Barbacoa Short Rib. We also ordered the Bread Pudding and it was unlike any other! Besides the food, it was a really cute, cozy atmosphere. I liked our server. I noticed that people were dressed well and felt a little underdressed so an fyi for anyone considering going!

Vibrant and engaging - that's the predominant energy you feel when you enter the restaurant. There's the smell of varied and mouthwatering food, open-kitchen theatrics to spy with your side eye as you dine in, and the chatter of the crowd. We were already off to a great start. After getting ourselves some libations - A glass of Cab Sauv for me, and Beer on tap for my partner, we were ready for nourishments: Mussels in Green Garlic Butter Sauce with a side of Bread smeared with the Green Garlic Butter (5/5) - the mussels were cooked to perfection and the sauce was out of this world. We even boxed up the little sauce left behind at the end of it because of how divine it was. The portion was great and what a delightful appetizer to the items that followed. Loved this so much, ordering it again on my next visit. Short Rib Barbacoa with Mashed Yukon Potatoes (5/5) - this dish presented tender meat with a spicy and dynamic rub, garnished with lovely spiced and pickled pieces of pepper. One word - yum! The Yukon Mash was also the perfect pairing. Again, great serving size and the remains served as the best kind of topping for our homemade nachos the following day. As you can tell, we weren't leaving without trying the infamous bread pudding. The food leading up to it was so incredible but we tried to leave some space for the finale. Antique Bread Pudding (5/5) - we went off beat and asked for the caramel sauce on the side so that we could pour it to our liking. So we missed on the animation of it, but the taste was magnificent nonetheless. The exterior was toasted and had a bit of a bite and the interiors were tender and pudding-ier. Loved it. The caramel was also divine. And I absolutely get the hype behind this! All hits at Antique Bar and Bakery and cannot wait to try more of what they have to offer.

I loved this place! Great bar area with great music and the tables were spacious and comfortable. The service was good and quick but we didn't didn't feel rushed at all. All dishes were brought out at a good time - not too many dishes on the table at once, which I love. All of the food was amazing and I would get everything again, especially the hot oil shrimp and the spaghetti squash carbonara....both delish! Everything else was also so flavorful and tasty.

Food was phenomenal, service was literally abysmal. We had a 7:30 reservation and didn't leave until 10:15 [on a Tuesday]. We also had to beg for the check 3 times before we were even able to close out. I will definitely go back and allow them to earn that extra star though with better service! The highlights were the mussels (literally best muscles I've ever had), meatball and pastas. Super cool vibe inside as well, and very good espresso martinis.

Very very good food. The place is small and cramped and dimly lit. We had to use our phone light to see the menu. The music at times was so loud I was yelling over it to talk. The bathrooms are small and kind of dirty, there was no holder for the toilet paper and I found it behind the toilet which is gross. The wait staff felt very chill. Our waiter was nice, he forgot my friends drink and then brought it out and didn't charge for it so that's good. In order to eat at a decent time you need to book a reservation way in advance. I had to keep my eye on it when the new reservations would open online so I can get the time slot I wanted which was 7:30. I booked like 2 weeks in advance. We ended up getting there at 7:45 and it was no issue. We had a to wait a bit for the host to arrive at the front to seat us. There were some people trying to get in without a reservation and it seemed the staff was nice to them and tried but I don't think it happened. I got the burger $26. Big filling burger. The flavor was like no other burger. The crisp/ char on the outside tasted so unique. Perhaps because it was cooked in the 100 year old oven. The fries where cooked perfectly. I loved the addition of the pickle on the side and the pickles on top of the burger! I love pickles. My friend got the Mezzi Rigatoni and the sauce was delicious, also never tasted a sauce like that before. She really enjoyed it. All big portions. And we had to get the bread pudding the size of a head for dessert! $25. Best bread pudding I ever had!! It's crispy on the outside but hot and steamy and puddingy on the inside. The cocktail I got was "grow a pear" $16 and it was very good. Sweet and bubble but not too sweet and had a delicate fruity flavor. Despite its flaws I would definitely come back just because the food is so good. The prices are spot on for the portions and quality of food you are getting. Come try this place!

Wow! My mouth is watering just thinking about the food! Our server was Matt, he took the time to introduce himself, give us history and ran down the menu. I can truly say I will be back! This restaurant has gone viral on social media and with good reason. The food is great, The drinks are amazing, the dessert out of this world! My only criticism would be the steak although deliciously flavored was chewy. Please visit and get The bread pudding!

WOW! I'm already day dreaming about the next time I visit. The century-old institution also features a 30-ton coal oven and the restaurant still looks like a historic spot in some areas. So cool! We ordered the spaghetti squash carbonara, butternut squash rice balls, and priest stranglers with spicy sausage. We could really taste the sage coming through in the dishes, the portion were plentiful, and everything was so delicious and tasty. The pasta dishes had enough for us to take home because we couldn't finish it. Nonetheless, we saved some space for the Bread Pudding which I had been dying to try and boy it did not disappoint! It was the perfect amount of sweet without being overpowering. You bet we took that home as well! The service was great, we really enjoyed our waitress and our drinks were fantastic. You won't regret getting anything on this menu.
