Focused on fresh, contemporary cuisine, with a nod to the traditional, we at Skinner’s provide our guests with a warm, welcoming environment and equally enticing food and drink. We dedicate a portion of our menu to some dishes which are tried and true, and others which are inspired by the freshest available seasonal produce, dairy, farm raised meat and wild caught fish. We are a team of dedicated professionals who all share a passion for food and hospitality. Our cooks have over 100 years of collective kitchen experience, and are lead by Head Chef Juan Gabriel Veliz. We hope you join us.

I stopped in this restaurant for dinner. When I arrived I was greeted and sat at the bar. I ordered with the nice bartender Gary. I ordered pinot nior and the lamb pasta special. The food was very tasty. The only thing is the wine was a tad pricey. Next time I’ll ask before I order. All in all a good experience.

I have a friend who, despite being full Korean, always craves American diner fare when we meet up. I don’t know why…and frankly, I’m afraid to ask. I just tell myself that my dewy glass skin reminds him of frying oil.
Anyway, the last time we got together, he picked Skinner’s Loft for brunch. I was ready to write the place off, but I was pleasantly surprised by how good everything was. Skinner’s isn’t going to win World’s Best anything, but it’s a solid neighborhood spot with big portions for decent prices.
The Buttermilk Pancakes were large, fluffy and satisfying. My Croque Monsieur was perfectly crispy and loaded with delicious melted bechamel, gruyere and prosciutto. One of the tastiest Croque Monsieurs I’ve had, including the ones I enjoyed living in France, and certainly bigger than its Manhattan counterparts. The Crispy Shrimp & Bacon Sandwich was also a pleasant taste bomb of basil, dill & cucumber remoulade, tomatoes, and, of course, bacon.
Bottom line: Skinner’s offers a brunch that’s tastier and more affordable than many NYC joints. When you’re hungover on a Sat morning, this might be the best place for you.

Surprisingly good brunch! Not what you would expect from a bar. We had eggs florentine and they knocked it out of the park. The biscuit tasted freshly made, the home fries were delicious. I will definitely come back.

Me and my wife went for an early dinner. The server was pretty dry and direct with little personality but he wasn’t bad. We had the Beef Brisket potato rounds, Cauliflower Steak and Brisket Sandwich. Everything was properly cooked, being just a tad under seasoned all around. Nothing bad about the experience but it didn’t impress us and with the slew of restaurants near Grove, nothing makes this place be the #1 choice. I hear the rooftop bar is the highlight but I didn’t get to see that this trip.

Punch drunk love cocktail was good. The food was okay. Tad over priced in my opinion, for a $45 steak and fries that was kinda lackluster. Perfectly cooked but not much flavor. The salmon was alright as well. Again cooked great, but nothing really special. Thank you for the experience.

Delicious! We came here for a Sunday brunch and both the tostada and breakfast sandwich were delicious. The little muffins they bring to your table were such a nice (and tasty) touch as well! The atmosphere is trendy and fun too.

We unfortunately did not eat here, but judging from the locals that piled into this restaurant and were greeted by the staff with warm and extended conversations, we’d say this restaurant is a special place.
Even if we missed seeing the family atmosphere, the simple menu alone tells you this is a serious food place. They’re not trying to sell you everything but the kitchen sink, just the good stuff, consistently and deliciously prepared (from what was saw:)
Whomever designed the place, the lighting, the warmth, really knows how to seduce and create an environment out of a movie. You just wanna go in there.
The staff is beyond friendly and not at all surprised we instantly fell in love with the place, “Hey! It’s Skinner’s, an institution in these parts.”

Not an expert of Jersey City…..yet. First day here and was excited to start searching for good places to eat. I wanted Salmon and saw a photo of their Salmon with garlic Spinach and lentils, so – I headed to Skinners loft. I would rate my dining experience a 4.7. Let’s breakout down
1. Ambiance – 5 Stars. Loved the diversity of bar, outdoor and the loft (indoor). Some historical look to the loft and I appreciated being away from the bar to read.
2. Food – 5 Stars. Also had the buffalo egg rolls. Their blue cheese dipping with a little buffalo sauce on the rolls were awesome. The garlic on the sautéed Spinach…… Que Rico!!!!
3. Service – 4.5 Stars. Main server had to be supplemented by another for refills on beverages but they were polite and kind. Soft spoken and wanted more recommendations but solid
Did see the restroom. Love more character, but it was clean which is more important. I’d return. Give it a go.

Impromptu night out and found this gem that’s been in the neighborhood for 15yrs. Abdul was a wonderful server. The food was AMAZING Kudos to the chef. I hope they are there the next time I go for a consistent meal experience. Drinks were well balanced. Had the warm drink on a cold night by the fireplace near the table. I will be back for sure!
