Beyond the Carryout Container: A Glimpse Inside Hamilton Inn
My husband and I order from Seamless more often than I'd like to admit. But after a long, hard day, all I want to do is sit on the couch with a glass of wine, my pups and some good food (while binging on Netflix, of course). For the nights we do stay in, the menu has to be just right. One place that delivers every time is Jersey City's Hamilton Inn. In fact, their takeout is good, we never actually made it to the restaurant until recently.
Located in Jersey City's Hamilton Park neighborhood, the Hamilton Inn sits sweetly on a corner lot among beautiful brownstones and the park. The one-room restaurant offers a quaint, homey feel with exposed brick and hardwood floors. The well-dressed bartenders serving up cocktails in mason jars and old-school cocktail glasses give the place a vintage vibe.
I knew the food was phenomenal, but I was happy to learn they're also serving up cocktails with my favorite booze, Tito's Vodka. For brunch, they have all the favorites, like bloody Marys and mimosa. You can also get classic and signature cocktails, along with a variety of beers and wines.
I couldn't stop by without ordering my absolute favorite salad, the Candied Pecan. I get it every time - field greens, pears, warm goat cheese with balsamic. I can't get enough of the breaded, lightly fried goat cheese balls that top the salad. I'm a goat cheese junkie, so I also usually get the Potato & Goat Cheese Pierogies to go with it. These are an absolute must try! They offer the perfect cheese to potato ratio along with cooked-to-perfection caramelized onions.
My husband's favorite dish is the Crispy Chicken Wings. He gets them Asian BBQ-style, but they also offer them with buffalo sauce. They're doused with a sweet, teriyaki-style sauce that is killer for anyone with a sweet-tooth. We brought my father-n-law, and he opted for the Chopped Greek with hanger steak. The serving of steak was huge, and cooked-to-order. The feta and dressing is cool and creamy.
- Items get a little pricey with add-ons - a $9 salad becomes $16 with steak
- Dine in, take-out, delivery, the food is great regardless of where you eat it
- No need to go top-shelf, their house vodka is the fabulous Tito's
