Ten Square

Ten Square is a neighbourhood American bistro on Newark Avenue in Jersey City's vibrant restaurant row, serving a straightforward menu of American comfort dishes with global influences to a local crowd of Jersey City residents, young professionals, and weekend visitors from across Hudson County. The restaurant's casual identity is built on approachable food at mid-range prices — the Jersey City Burger, a quality beef patty on a toasted bun with house condiments, has become a neighbourhood go-to, while the Korean BBQ Bowl draws on the area's diverse culinary influences to offer a lighter, rice-based alternative. Cocktails are a genuine point of pride; the bar programme incorporates seasonal ingredients and house-made infusions that give the drinks menu a step above the typical neighbourhood bar list. The dining room is informal and lively, matching the energy of Newark Avenue's pedestrian restaurant block, with a noise level that suits groups and post-work gatherings rather than quiet conversation. Service is friendly and efficient rather than formal. Hours run Monday through Thursday from 11:30am, with extended Friday and Saturday service until 11pm and Sunday service until 9pm. Walk-ins are generally accommodated; reservations are welcomed for larger groups. The Newark Avenue location is accessible from Grove Street and Journal Square PATH stations, both a short walk away.
