We had a meeting with a lawyer this evening. Who would think signing several forms would take so long? Going into this meeting we had several plans for what to have for dinner:
First we were going to pick up burgers at Five Guys in Hoboken. Only one problem: They've permanently closed.
The next thought was Tony Boloney's... Really, that's their name.
Then we realized Tony's was the wrong way to go home. Next choice: Jack's Cabin. A little restaurant we've passed often & wondered about. We watched several years as it was pulled down & rebuild. We wondered what could be on such a small odd shaped lot.
But we would stop ONLY if there was parking available. There WAS parking, so we stopped.
Monday is Berger and Pint Night; Tuesday is Sliders Night; Thursday is Taco Night; Friday is Something else. BUT it is Wednesday night, there are no specials.
The inside is nice and roomy:
Tonight Amy chose the Turkey Burger with goat cheese, caramelized onions, and mushrooms, on a brioche with a side of fries and the Departed Soles Coffee Stout. The burger was good, The goat cheese balanced the sweet caramelized onions very well. The stout Amy thought was perfect.
I had the Cheese Steak: hanger steak with sauteed red peppers, caramelized onions, and Swiss cheese, on an onion roll and a side of fries. I had the 902 PATH- PALE ALE TRUE HOBOKEN (Pale ale with a crisp, session-able taste. Light caramel well complemented with hints of floral, grapefruit, and citrus hop flavors. 5.2% ABV, 38 IBU, Light straw color.) I enjoyed the PATH ale: it was was fresh and tasty - i usually do not think of unfiltered as a beer I like, but I pleasantly surprised.
The hanger steak was prepared perfectly. Crispy caramelized surfaces and nice red/pink interiors. The same sweet onions with addition of the red peppers was excellent.
