Burger at 10th and Willow Bar and Grill in Hoboken

I recently saw a post from Hoboken Girl saying that the best burger in the city is at 10th and Willow Bar and Grill. So I had to check it out as for me it is between Antique Bar & Bakery and O’Neals, but you never know!
We decided to go on a Sunday for brunch. The place was empty at the time we went and we got the impression they did not care much for us, maybe because we did not order alcohol. Who knows? So it took a while for our order to be placed. We started off with their fried goat cheese balls. That was a good start: crispy on the outside, not greasy, the only negative was the tomato bisque that they serve with it that was too watery. A bolder and thicker sauce would have made this dish stand up more.

For her main, Jodi got their chopped Mediterranean salad that was served with romaine, olives, red onion, tomato, cucumber and pita croutons. Unfortunately, it was over dressed (it was a garlic feta dressing).
Then came my burger. I went for the 10th Street burger that was served with provolone, mushrooms and A1 sauce. When it came, it looked spectacular, the thick patty being smothered by cheese and sauce. But, unfortunately, it was overcooked (I asked for medium, medium rare might have been better), and dry.
I asked for onion rings instead of fries or salad (unbeknownst to me there was a surcharge of $4) and these rings, although large and crispy were not cooked all the way through for some.

So overall it was disappointing. I stand by my opinion that is Antique Bar & Bakery and O’Neals have the best burger in town!

Enjoy (…)!
