Light Rail Cafe- Jersey City

237 Randolph Ave Jersey City, NJ 07304

I stopped by Light Rail Cafe to enjoy some dinner and drinks with my family and overall, I enjoyed my time there!

When we arrived, it was pretty packed but that's expected on a Thursday night. We were immediately sat outside and our waitress was very friendly and welcoming. Our waitress was also very attentive and came by with a pitcher of water, plates and utensils to ensure we had everything we needed.

To start off, we ordered a pitcher of Red Sangria and Cauliflower Bites. The cauliflower bites arrived fresh out the fryer and were served with a Sweet Chili sauce and Ranch. They were perfectly battered and paired very well with the sauces. A delicious starter that I would rate 4/5. The Red Sangria was also a great choice because it was fruity and strong. I definitely felt it by the end of my meal and rate it a 4/5, as well!

For my meal, I went with the LRC Black Bean Burger (black bean pattie, spring mix, tomatoes and raw onions on a toasted brioche bun) with a side of garlic Parmesan fries. The burger was decent and the pattie was reminiscent of the Gardein black bean burger. The garlic parmesan fries were delicious and crispy, so they were a nice addition. I rate the burger a 2.5/5 and the fries a 4/5.

Lastly, our waitress suggested ordering the Fried Oreos for dessert so we went with that. They came out hot, covered in powder sugar and chocolate & caramel sauce. These were better than the ones you find at the fair, so I rate them a 4/5. Perfectly fluffy and soft on the inside with a nice crisp outside. The perfect dessert to wrap up the night!

Overall, I enjoyed my time at Light Rail Cafe and would certainly stop by again for some drinks and apps!
