The Shepherd And The Knucklehead

This is a wonderful sports bar with excellent food. Btw Barry and Melissa were busy but they got everything right and were very nice. Now to the particulars: Huge pretzels with mustards and cheese sauce Pure unadulterated decadence Fresh French fries, Burgers, spring rolls, etc. Reasonable prices for what you get, this is a Sharing place bc portions are generous. It gets loud but hey it’s a sports bar with TVs. This is not a place for take out or delivery, because most complaints are about that, cmon get out of apt and enjoy your food hot and fresh. For what it is it’s a fun place and I can’t wait to bring my “adult” kids and have a party! Quarter next to pretzel for Reference.

I can't say enough how AMAZING the Shepherd & Knucklehead is! We hosted a private party here on a Friday night for about 70 people. The food was fantastic, bar was quick with drinks, service was excellent. The bar has a great ambiance--casual but nice, cozy and welcoming. The price was very reasonable, and they were able to accommodate guests with dietary restrictions (gluten free). The owner, Joe, always responded quickly to texts/emails before the event and checked in with us throughout our party to make sure we were happy. Would definitively recommend this place for others looking to have a private party!

Came here on a quiet Tuesday night, the bartender here was super super cool, no rush, very attentive, food is so good, their wings are to die for seriously and they have so many beers on tap to please any taste. Big space bathrooms are clean and parking is free after 9pm! Recommended to anyone who wants to have a good meal and good beers. 10/10 don’t hesitate!

This is the ideal spot in Uptown Hoboken to catch a game given that it's in an excellent location, is a well-kept bar, has excellent sports bar food/a huge range of options, and has NFL Sunday Ticket to catch any of the games that are on. The beer options are definitely very good for a typical sports bar. My review would be 5 stars if it wasn't for the absentee service that I have gotten almost every time I've been here for the last 3 years of living in Uptown Hoboken. Trying to get the attention of the one and only server that they usually have working is a tough task, so unless I'm looking to sit with nothing for 30 minutes+ I more often than not I have to order food or drinks by coming right up to the bar. If I'm looking to get a certain game put on I will also need to remind them a few times other wise they'll only have the Jets and Giants on almost all of the 20+ TVs. I'd say that they should probably have more consistent staff on hand, but it seems like the 1-3 people that are usually working are focused more on larger groups or people that are clearly regulars/know the staff. If I go in solo/with a small group it feels like I'm asking for a favor by ordering another drink or having the channel flipped to a different game. From reading the other reviews on here I know that management may say "this isn't like us" in response, but unless we're talking about pre-2019 service, I'm not sure we can say it's a coincidence. But other than the strange service that I've seen the last few years, overall a very good place.
