Went there yesterday, not my first time though I love this place because of their massive steaks. I ordered the usual "our Steak" Â when it came it looked like a junior steak but it looked too good to complain so I just consumed it. Â Next time I would pay more attention to the size before wolfing it down as i usually do, I hope it was just a mistake on their part and not size reduction due to economic conditions.
Review Source:Did anyone (else) get sick here on Friday July 12, 2013? Â
We were a party of three arriving near 8PM. Â A friend and I each ordered "Our Steak". Â We both couldn't even make it back to Queens, we had to stop in midtown to use the bathroom in Kips Bay theater. Â
It was my friend's first meal of the day aside from a plain roll. Â And I had eaten four hours before with no stomach problems until right after the steak.
We both ordered it rare. Â It shouldn't make a difference though. Â I always eat my steaks rare. Â This time, it gave me the runs, four times from Friday night 9:00PM into Saturday morning.
The service was fine, the steak tasted good and was cooked to the right degree of wellness. Â I just wanted to see if this was an isolated incident or small sample or not.
Been here a few times. The first few times were okay -- maybe 3 stars. The steaks were cooked good enough, and the prices were excellent for a casual meal.
But last night, what a disappointment! First our medium-rare steaks came out medium-well, bordering on well done. We sent them back. Ten minutes later, the second attempts came out and were simply RARE on the inside -- so rare that there was no flowing of any juices -- Â not even blood. Needless to say, my friend and I lost our appetites and ended up throwing in our towels on the whole meal....
I will say that the fried calamari was excellent (though the portion size was pretty small).
I hadn't been to Arthur's in many years. I came here for dinner on the 4th of July. The place was quite busy.
I ordered the filet mignon with grilled shrimp. The steak and shrimp were ok. Nothing bad to say but neither blew me away either.
Our waiter was clearly overwhelmed but did a somewhat decent job of taking care of the table.
You can't beat their burger special on Monday nights! Â
$6.99 for a burger (+ 3 toppings) and fries. Â
If I was rating them solely based on this, I'd probably give them 5 stars based on quality-to-price. Â However, outside of the special, the food is still good, but it doesn't trump the competition when evaluating against some of the other places in Hoboken.
Arthur's a little gem. It's an older restaurant (supposedly, one of the oldest ones in Hoboken?) Reading all reviews, I will stand by what they are all inferring: this place is known and raved for its AMAZING and DELICIOUS FOOD.
The other night was my third time at Arthur's for a birthday - after a few birthday cocktails at Happy Hour, it's safe to say we were all STARVING.
Being a Monday, the restaurant was nearly empty. We were seated right away and the waitress came over. She didn't even say hello or introduce herself and basically threw the menus at each one of us. Terrible!
The food was excellent (although I am not a big steak eater and I recently joined WW, so I decided to go with the Surf & Turf... but I got my steak well-done, IDK WHY?! because I don't eat it often and I didn't know wtf I was ordering, but anyways!) but the service that night was totally disappointing. The waitress's service/manners did get a bit better as the night rolled on, but IMO, she still didn't quite earn the generous tip we left her.
I'll be coming back, just with hopes of better service! Such a shame to ruin an otherwise great restaurant with shitty service!
Arthur's is just like a restaurant that I used to go to with my family growing up after my dad would get gift cards there from his patients for Christmas--dimly lit with dark wood, hadn't been updated in a long time, good food. Â While it wasn't the kind of place we'd go to on a regular basis (it wasn't that close to where we lived), I always looked forward to our next meal there. Â That's how I will look at Arthur's.
We came there this past weekend on a double date and I enjoyed our experience. Â After being told that the restaurant has very good steak at affordable prices, I opted for the Caesar salad topped with steak slices and was not disappointed. Â Also, the garlic bread is as great as everyone says it is. Â The service was satisfactory and my diet Coke-Stoli Vanilla was too.
While Arthur's is hardly a destination steakhouse like Keen's, Abe & Arthur's or Club A, I would be happy to return.
Arthur's has been a family tradition for as long as I can remember. My father would take us there for Mother's Day, birthdays and just because. The steaks are to die for. I have been told the reason they are so juicy is because they are soaked overnight in buckets of Coca Cola. Not sure as to the veracity of that statement but whatever it is they are doing works. I prefer my steaks well done and fear getting back charred, dry steaks. At Arthur's this has never been the case. I usually order their junior sirloin with the shrimp and their potatoes. Anyone in the area should definitely go try their steaks. The best part is that they are very accommodating when it comes to large parties.
Highly recommend this place!
Arthur's is one of the oldest Hoboken restaurants. The first time I had their steak was 13 years ago. It hasn't changed at all. Still the same consistent taste - this is not a high-end steak place, just a good old trustworthy local steak house.
Where Arthur's shines is a burger. I think they have the best in Hoboken. Very good taste, portion size and extras.
If you like draft cider (English style, hard cider) go to Arthurs! It's a true rarity to find draft cider in American bars.
They serve beer in 1 liter mugs - pure joy.
The best way to start dinner at Arthur's is to order the pickle plate. They have excellent crunchy pickles and mouth-burning bell peppers. Adventurous types can down a shot of vodka followed by the pickled pepper and then take a massive bite of a burger. Satisfaction guaranteed!
Desserts are ok. Frankly I wouldn't even dare a dessert after consuming a burger or a steak. The calorie counter will be far in the red zone.
Ribs are very good and huge.
Service has always been fast and good. Never had any problems with seating.
Btw, I like the checkered plastic tablecloths. They are in harmony with the place and part of Arthur's character.
My friends always go here and told me it's a great price for a good size steak. I finally came here to try it and i felt like it was totally overrated. I didn't like it at all. The nachos were good though. The best thing i liked here was the garlic bread. It was amazing!!!! Must get ! The only thing i would probably get if i was ever to ever be back here. But I won't be coming back here.
Review Source:I have been to this Arthur's three times and the one in Morris Plains once and I have never been disappointed.
I really love the classic old school vibe that I get when I'm at Arthur's. The plastic tablecloths some may see as tacky, I think it gives a little character. The place is huge. I've never sat in the same section twice actually.
I'm somewhat tried and true as I have only ever ordered the junior sirloin. This trip was *slightly* different.
My boyfriend and I split the fried calamari appetizer and we thought it was very good. They rings were cooked to perfection and the dipping sauce was good.
We each had salad next (Caesar for me, wedge for him) and I really liked it. There was enough dressing to coat the entire salad without it drowning in dressing. I'm not sure if the dressing is house made or not but it was good.
As I said before, I of course got the junior sirloin and added a side of steamed veggies. I ate most of it and cut off pieces of fat that probably equated to 1 cup. I don't think that's too terrible especially when it's just trim on the outside.
And those skillet potatoes. Oh em gee! I mean, yeah I could make something similar to this at home, and with less grease but these puppies are just too damn delicious.
This is the kind of place I wanted to like. Old, character place with a lot of cache, in the right part of town, and with a storied history. Older folks talk about it and how they loved it growing up and all that jazz.
I really was disappointed. It's too bad. Their problem can be easily fixed. Get a better butcher, or pay up for better meats. Instead, the price is hefty, and the quality is so-so. That's a terrible combination. I don't mind paying up for good stuff, but when I pay elite prices, I expect elite delivery.
Fail.
The chili, however, was excellent. But that's not a compelling enough reason to go back. I hope they step it up, I'll keep my ears open.
Fantastic night!!!! Deserves 6 stars if there were such a thing! We had a private party of 27 people last night and the food, service and price was amazing. The customized price fixe menu was full of great appetizers like crab cakes, ultimate bacon, tomato & mozzarella, garlic bread, and Asian wings. Â Main entree's included their famous steaks but also had an incredible salmon dish. If you haven't been to Arthur's since the new owner took over, it's a must go!!!
Review Source:New to town, and trying to write reviews of each place we visit. Â Yelp's description of 2-star "Meh. I've experienced better" is spot on. Â
Garlic bread is great. Â Just make sure everyone in your party has a piece. Â The steak was...fine. Â
But overall, it was dingy and the checkered plastic tablecloths do nothing for me. Â Service was sub-par and the place was actually empty when we were there. Â
Didn't realize they charged for soda refills, but that's really low-rent. Â Don't see a reason to go back.
I have been to Arthur's here and in Morris Plains for over two decades and while the steaks prices have gone up while the quality has gone down, they beat any other chain steakhouse out there.
The one item on here that has been overlooked the most is their French onion soup, which is the best I have ever had! The broth has Excellent flavor, the salt is not overpowering, with marble rye bread and lots of onions, topped with a generous slice of Munster (The burnt part of the cheese is even better!) A must have for fans of this soup.
Another item worth trying is the pastrami, whether plain or as a Reuben, I believe they smoke their own, or some outside vendor does it, either way this not sliced off of some Boar's Head or Thuman's product.
Of the three Arthur's places, this is my least favorite...but not because the food isn't good. Â In fact, of the three Arthur's restaurants, I think this one makes the best burgers...the reason it's my least favorite is that I'm not a big fan of going all the way to Hoboken and the only way I will go here again is if someone else drives.
I don't hate Hoboken, it's just a pain for me to get to and I don't suffer crappy parking or long waits well...and you have to deal with both for Arthur's. Â So, back to the food-I remember the first time I hit this location and the 24 oz steak was cheap, like $12 or $13. Â Steaks are the same (good, but not great-a little fatty, but tasty), place is the same (almost always crowded), service is the same (actually pretty good), the beers are usually icy cold, but the prices have gone way up. Â Hey, it's Hoboken, the prices have gone up everywhere...
As I said before, the burgers here are pretty good, the scrod is too, and the steaks are fine-you get what you pay for. I can't tell you about the other entrees though, haven't tried anything else...I'm a creature of habit sometimes. Â Arthur's can be a fun place if this is your town, but there are better steak places in Hoboken. Â If you choose one of them...you'll pay, yes you'll pay, so if you're looking for a good steak without losing your paycheck, Arthur's isn't a bad decision...
Is it better than Outback Steakhouse? Probably, but it doesn't really hold a candle to any of the other steaks I've eaten recently. Given that the other places were Peter Lugar, Ray's the Stakes (in Arlington, VA), and Wolfgang Puck's place, maybe I'm not giving this place a fair shake, but...
1. Wife ordered steak medium. Came back medium-well. Her jaw hurt from all the chewing she had to do to get it down.
2. Table has A1 steak sauce. Always a bad sign. No self-respecting steakhouse offers A1 and if asked for it, should beg the customer to not use it.
3. When my soda comes from a soda gun (meaning they use a carbon dioxide tank and syrup), you shouldn't charge for refills. I was. Lame.
My hope is someone in town convinces me to try this place again. I would really like to leave near a good steakhouse. Unfortunately, this trip didn't convince me of that, despite the general buzz about this place from other people.
We came on a Saturday night with a party of 6 around 6:30PM or so.
We got seated right away - Surprising since I remember this place being alot more crowded - But great for us!
The steak and potatoes here are surprisingly good and doesnt cost an arm and a leg.
We also had the Arthur's burgers, the fish and chips and pastrami - All were really good.
I also really like the service here. Â Its a pretty big place but we never really had to wait on any of the waiters. Â They came by to check on us often and they were very responsive with everything.
I remember parking behind the street at the public parking being alot cheaper... but I havent been here for a while... I feel old...
I've heard good things about Arthur's the entire time that I've been here. The ranting and raving had been going on for months, but I put off coming to this place for as long as I've lived in Hoboken. I finally mustered up the courage to come here approximately a week ago and while I was pleased, did not see what all the fuss was about.
I didn't get a chance to look inside too much, as I decided to sit outside. The weather was beautiful, so why not? There was ample seating outside and it was the middle of a Thursday - around 1pm.
For my appetizer, I got the garlic bread and my date stuck with a salad (from start to finish... no fun). They had a pulled pork sandwich special on their menu, which is what I decided to order. To drink, I simply stuck with the soda as did my partner.
My sandwich came out decently prepared and was right on the money.. but nothing beyond that. I didn't feel particularly blown away - maybe I should have ordered a steak? The garlic bread was very good though, I would definitely recommend that as your appetizer coming in.
The folks nearby our table were very attentive. There was not a lot going on, so the staff was able to spend time with us every time it seemed as if we needed something.
Prices were meh. I personally felt I had been paying more than what I received. It's tough to find reasonable prices paying for anything in these parts.
All in all, this is an OK steak spot if you find yourself having the craving in Hoboken.
Do yourself a favor, get on the PATH, pay $10-15 more and get yourself to a proper NY steak place. Â What a zero this place was in terms of steak quality and their sheer ability to cook it correctly.
I'm a self-proclaimed steak connoisseur, or am trying to be, and this was just... Not good. Â I asked for a filet med. rare. Came more or less raw, but unevenly so, in that some bites were MR, others just inedible. Â And I'll eat rare occasionally so it's not that it was just under for "my taste." Â It just wasn't right and the quality was..not what it should be for $25+.
Sides (a must for any steak place worth it's salt) were bland, over salted and my bf who ordered the house special just got a fatty, unevenly cooked  piece of meat with a lb of disgusting home fries.
Only thing that saved it was our waitress. Â Very attentive and promptly had them throw my steak back on when I let her know it was undercooked.
Of course, then they over cooked it. Â Never again.
So, I feel like Arthur's is a staple in Hoboken and I needed  to try it even though I'm not the biggest steak person. I legit don't think I'm ever ordered it for dinner at a restaurant... until last night. I couldn't not get it.
I got the junior steak and I really enjoyed it. It was the perfect size (for me) and really tasty. My friend really enjoyed hers too. Â Our meals came with a side of potatoes, which were okay.
Whenever I pass Arthur's, I always see people sitting outside and I think the outdoor seating (where we ended up sitting) is one of the reasons that made me wanna eat here... it always looks so nice with the tables and their umbrellas on the street.
Our server was really nice and the food came out quicker than I thought it would. It was a little pricey, but I went knowing that it probably would be. In reality, I guess it's a pretty good price for what we got though.
Also, they have liters of beer. How can you not like a restaurant that has liters of beer?
Definitely know where to come if I'm ever in the mood for a good steak.
I love steak! Â I mean i absolutely LOVE steak, because nothing can beat a steak that's been cooked to perfection with all the fixin's. Â Now i'm used to my super expensive steak houses in NYC. Â Those steaks are heavenly and you pay the price out there. Â Ok an amazing steak at a premium price - i'm willing. Â I've heard the name Arthur's tossed around all the time as well whenever we talked about steak houses...and thus it went on my list of places to try.
Then suddenly my dad - out of the blue - calls me and asks if i've ever been to Arthurs' (as the Yelp expert he thinks i am). Â I'm like "Woah Woah Woah! Pops! You went here and didn't call me up to join you!?!" Â He laughed and laughed and said - he visited before i could and took pride in that. Â
Annnnyway - so we took a seat inside in the back - the restaurant is much larger than it looks outside. Â Sat down with the menu to and i decided on the "Our Steak" the steak houses' signature 24 oz steak with home fries (medium rare of course). Â One of our other buddies ordered the rack of ribs and another guy ordered a burger. Â When the food came around we split up the food to taste.
The steak was amazing - delicious flavor, juicy - a nice crisp out latyer with a soft very juicy center. Â It was just the right amount of tangible juice left on my plate to slop up the massive amounts of potatos they give as a side. Â
The Ribs were good, amazing? Â probably not amazing - but they give you a whole lot. Â So that makes up for it, along with a crazy amount of potatos. Â The potatos also were very tasty - not overly salty or under (or over) cooked.
the burger i didn't try - why b/c one man has one burger to himself - but he said it was one of the best burgers he had in a long time - so i'm going to take his word for it. Â Truthfully though - i wouldn't get anything but the steak here since everyone seems to rave about it lol.
I'm definitely coming back for a 2nd helping!
Went here last week when our NY dinner cruise got canceled. We were seated right away and the hostess was really nice. Our server got our drinks promptly and was also super sweet. We ordered:
- Garlic bread - awesome awesome awesome! I'm not really sure what other reviewers expect from garlic bread...it's NOT a gourmet item (it's strictly comfort and this bread delivered!).
- Nachos - again, really solid app. The chili tasted homemade (didn't have that sour/artificial flavor that you get from most fast food or frozen chillis)
- Our steak - my brother said his steak was really awesome. Serving size was HUGE!
- Filet Mignon sandwich - like other reviewers, my dad agreed that this was a tad underseasoned
- Crabcake appetizer - pretty solid! Nice flavors, very light and fresh. All in all, this was a nice experience!
Bottomline: food tasted fresh and flavorful and the service was solid. I'd definitely come back here!
A girlfriend of mine took me to the Arthur's Tavern in New Brunswick way back in college. She was vegetarian herself, but she figured I would enjoy it. As I entered, everyone was hunched over their table. Not talking, just eating. Yeah. I looked about the place. Every surface of the walls was covered with any kind of beer mirror or sign you could imagine. I knew I was going to like this place.
Then the moment of truth. We ordered. She ordered the "salad" being a leaf eater and all. I got the 14 ounce. Mine was heavenly goodness. Juicy. Tender. Flavorful. The trick to a good steak place is that you DON'T need any fancy sauce. It's surprisingly simple to achieve, but you just have to put in a little effort and know-how. You see me putting sauce on my steak, it's to make the steak edible. Her "salad" was a baby head of lettuce cut in half on a small plate. Funny.
This one in Hoboken does not disappoint. Same great meat. Get on down there and get your chew on.
Great steak. Â Fair price. Â Generous portions.
But the best thing about this place will be the garlic bread. Â OMG. Â It was so good. Â I think they used maybe 5 sticks of butter for each loaf but definitely a must-order. Â Will try the bread here next time I am back (probably will not be for a while - I only come here when I visit six flags and because I am not 15 anymore, I usually go once every 1-2 years).
On another note, the drive to State Island through Bayonne was a NIGHTMARE. Â I don't know who designed the streets and roads of New Jersey, but they must have went to school on the short bus because none of the roads make any sense. Â And there are pedestrians that dart out when the signal is green. Â It is legitimately like a cartoon or a video game. Â And dont get me started on Jersey u-turns (wtf, right?!).
Happy eating, suckers.
as that one utterly terrible song which is inexplicably popular goes..."now you're just a steakhouse that I used to know."
I recently went to Arthur's after not having gone in about 2 years (maybe more). with a group of about 20 people, some being college students, there aren't too many affordable options on a Saturday evening in Hoboken.
I had heard stories of new ownership here, and it shows. they lopped off some items from the menu, prices have gone up a bit, and you gotta ask for the pickles, peppers, and slaw (it was always brought out as soon as you sat your ass down - some kinda tradition here).
the garlic cheese bread is still ridiculously delicious. the corned beef was decent - but just decent. the potatoes - oh man, I used to go apeshit for the potatoes here...soft, greasy, mixed with chopped onions and horrifyingly unhealthy for you, but still amazing...but now they were just alright.
no complaints about the service. they do still sell liter mugs of beer, which is good.
this used to be one of our default large party dinner joints - affordable food, relaxed atmosphere, tons of space. I guess I'd go back, but whereas in the past it was like "let's go to Arthur's!", now it's become "I guess we can go to Arthur's if there's no other option"...
Just had a nice dinner at Arthur's. Â I hadn't been there in a year or so, and I was wondering how much things have changed. We were a table of three, and we all ordered steaks (one 24 oz ribeye, one balsamic filet mignon special, one 12 oz sirloin). Â Everyone's steak was cooked as requested and we enjoyed them thoroughly. Â Arthur's 'famous' potatoes are still a tasty side. We also shared a salad with walnuts/cranberries/blue cheese, as well garlic bread. Â No major complaints, maybe the dressing of the salad had too much vinegar.
Arthur's prices have  gone up over the years, but they are still less than the typical Ruth Chris/Old Homestead pricing.  Expect to pay in the 'twenties' for your steak. Also, this is the time of year where they compete with all the outdoor tables in Hoboken, so it's less busy and much easier to get a table, as well as get the complete attention of your waiter. Â
Old trick. save about 1/4 of your steak / potatoes to bring home. Makes an awesome steak & eggs breakfast the next day.
I'm not a big fan of slamming establishments. Arthur's isn't a fancy steakhouse. The meat is average at best. The price is reasonable. The service is reasonable. I've lived in town many years and been to Arthur's about 5 times. If Arthur's was a real steakhouse like The Palm, Peter Lugers, or The Strip House - i'd be there every month.
Compared to those, it's awful. I'd rather go to Outback in Edgewater than eat at Arthur's. But that's just me.
Hands down one of the best hamburger  and meal deals in Hoboken hands down.  For about $6 you get a huge, juicy hamburger cooked to order just the way you want it.  Yes, I know cheese is a little extra but if you want it, it's worth the extra cash.  Plus, you get a huge mound of tavern potatoes which are awesome.
The first time I went I ordered one of their specials last spring which was a steak sandwich on garlic bread, ordered rare. Â The sandwich was huge. Â I have a big appetite and I ended up bringing half of it home with all the potatoes they gave me. Â The onion soup is pretty good as well. Â Sometimes there can be a bit too much cheese for some people but I like being able to have cheese with every bite! Â Their 24 and 48 oz rib eye is pretty good as well. Â Though not the greatest pieces of beef they are still pretty good.
The server can be very spotty at times, depending on which section you are sitting. I would ask to sit in the back by the bar and since it is closer to the bar I've always seemed to receive better service. Â The beer is always cold but the wine list is a bit lacking but what are you really expecting from a "tavern"?
Bring your friends from out of town to Arthur's Tavern for burgers and a few beers, I promise everyone will leave smiling.
My boyfriend had raved about how great the steak was at Arthur's so with a friend, we trekked over from the city. Â We definitely did not get the memo that it was Hoboken's St. Patty's Day weekend so things were a bit different than they usually are at Arthur's (apparently. I wouldn't know, it was my first time.)
They had printed out St. Patrick's Day menus & only served beer in plastic cups. It was so bizarre, I felt like I was still in college (granted I graduated in '11, but still!) It had taken awhile for any of our napkins or utensils to arrive to the table but after asking a nearby waiter, we finally got them.
The garlic bread was SOOOO good! And basically gets it's own star out of the three for it. Â As far as my steak? I asked for medium rare.. I got well done. Â It was so well done that it was hard for me to cut it with the knife. I'm assuming it's because of it being St Patrick's Day and them going through an unusual amount of customers for the night (the restaurant wasn't even THAT busy at the time we had gone). The potato wedges were ehhh and I barely touched it. Â I ate a little bit of the steak that wasn't nearly as cooked as most of the steak was and it was okay. Â
If we had known that Arthur's was going to be like THAT, we would've just stayed in the city! Two stars for the restaurant, one extra star for the garlic bread.
Best darned steakhouse near NYC for the price. Â You absolutely cannot go wrong at Aurthur's. Â I love that this place has been around since like Frank Sinatra was a little boy growing up in Hoboken, which was a long time ago.
Everything in this place is delightful. Â There is no bad choice of steak cut. Â They're all good. Â What's more, is that the wine list is so affordable, while the wines are still top notch. Â Arthur's is for everyone.
I try to drop into Aurthur's every time I'm in Hoboken. Â I even make the trip all the way from Harlem sometimes. Â It's that good and price-worthy. Â Do it!
The Good:
- HUGE Steaks!
- Ribs that fall off the bone. Â
- AMAZING garlic bread. 5 orders please! (no, we seriously ordered 5 loaves)
- Giant Mugs for Beer and Soda
- Good for groups
The bad:
- $28 for an "affordable" steak? Ouch!
- homefries? really?
- french fries are not great
- the mac and cheese side. While its huge, don't be fooled. This monstrosity of a side tastes like macaroni that has been glued together. Flavorless and off putting.
- service. they forgot my friends fries. Instead of bringing him the order they forgot, they took his steak away to put his fries on the plate.
- Grissle. Now dont get me wrong, I love a little animal fat, but when my steak is more fat than meat, i'm getting ripped off. Â And probably diabetus. My dog was a grateful recipient of the grissley meat.
The Ugly:
- the decor. Suicidal? avoid this place for you will surely want to kill yourself in this dark, drab, and depressingly outdated restaurant.
