Breakfast Menu "White Star Bar" Jersey City

This is a cool & casual spot to linger with drinks and friends. The double burger double cheese was great 🍔 loved the sauce and fries. The cocktails are nice as well🍸 I enjoyed the Almafi 75. The staff doesn't rush customers which is nice. Would visit again

Takeout here was great! Truffle fries weren’t soggy at all. Loved the mashed potatoes and generous portion size! Buffalo cauliflower was good but nothing amazing. Overall, I Would order food here again.

Great local pub. Chicken wings was small portioned for $15. But the nacho was good portioned for $15. Daily happy hours; draft beer is $6. Reg is $7.00. I would visit again.

Its not often that I leave a review, especially a negative one...but this needs to be known. I had been going to white star 2 to 3 times a week for almost 2 years. There was a certain female bartender that had a questionable attitude, my girlfriend and I were there late one night, the tables were completely empty, and we were at the bar. There were also a few single patrons at the bar. A group of guys came in and the bartender had the nerve to ask us to move so her friends could all sit together. Please know that we were regulars at this bar, but she didn't care. She has missed drink/food orders as well. Never an apology. Her attitude is rotten!!! We actually started going to a different local bar! The only time we go to white star now is when Amber is working! She's kind, thorough, and polite!! We enjoy the bar, the location, and the food, but will only go when she is there. The other female bartender needs a complete attitude adjustment or a different line of work....then we might return, until then we, along with several other "regulars" will be going somewhere else.

This place is always a good time. It’s very low key vibes and a typical bar. But it’s got pretty good cocktails and good food. I really like their salads. The service is always really friendly and helpful too. It’s a good neighborhood staple.

Before I start this review let me preface this by saying I work in the restaurant industry. I understand when a restaurant is understaffed and am empathetic to any FOH team member being overwhelmed. That being said, I have been here twice and both times the level of indifference/lack of hospitality have been truly shocking. The first time I went here the bartender was loudly complaining how he was incredibly unhappy with management and how stupid the systems in the restaurant bar were. In earshot of everyone dining/drinking at the bar. And it went on for an extended period of time. He then proceeded to see friends of his and ignore us for over half an hour while we waited to order more drinks. The entire time he was tending to his friends who were literally right next to us. This second dining experience we decided to dine outside. We showed up and saw a server who was clearly over her head and very busy. She was tending to the entire section outside with very little support. We asked if we could sit down outside and she told us to be patient and she would get to us soon. There were two tables available but completely understood that she didn’t have the time to seat us right away. She then proceeded to drop a couple of glasses while clearing a table, which again is understandable given how busy she was. Patrons of the restaurant dining outside got up and helped to clean up the mess, sensing how in the weeds she was. We continued to wait patiently. A bartender, an Irish gentleman, then came outside to speak with somebody who walked up to get a table. They clearly knew each other and got into deep conversation. The outdoor server continued to run around trying to service the patio while the bartender seemingly didn’t see how deep in the weeds she was. After about 7 more minutes we finally flagged down the server and asked if it would be okay to sit down at a table outside. She mumbled something in frustration. I repeated the question because I didn’t want to further disrupt her service and she then rolled her eyes and replied “sure sit wherever”. It seemed so incredibly inhospitable, and was very obvious that she didn’t want us there, so we left. I have tried to spend my own money in this establishment twice and have been met with such unbelievable contempt that I will not be going here again.

The burgers and margaritas are bomb. If you like a spicy burger the Greenville is perfect. The jalapeño amount is just right, especially because they are grilled. Can’t wait to go back to keep trying the rest of the menu.

Ate here with a friend yesterday, at a pleasant outdoor table. Since it's a little off the beaten path and you don't have swarms of people passing, I always grab an outdoor table, weather permitting. Service was, and has always been, excellent--polite and professional. I've been here maybe 8-10 times over the years, usually opting for one of the burgers or a sandwich, and was never disappointed. But yesterday I chose the beer-battered fish tacos. Big mistake. The breading overwhelmed the fish and was burnt in places. As the batter ballooned out, there was not much space for the toppings (chipotle aioli slaw, pineapple mango slaw) resulting in a messy eating experience. I'm pretty sure they used to offer plain fish tacos, which were delicious, and hope they drop the batter from the menu. Though I have mixed feelings about virtual-only menus, they allow restaurants to easily make changes. I hope they do. My friend had, and enjoyed, the shrimp-blackened wrap.
