- Mofongo & stuffed Plantains w/ropa vieja are my fav dishes. Also try their empanadas.Svc very slow, not sure if they don't mean to rush you or are in need of more staff. Great place for happy hour!
- Eric SohnAugust 6, 2013Ropa Vieja is excellent here - just a little chew. And it's nice to find vegetarian black beans... Trying to keep Kosher-style can be a challenge!
- Elke NominikatJune 20, 2013My Santa Fe salad was delicious (ordered without the black beans) and the staff could not have been any nicer! Kudos :)
- Jenn PeddeAugust 11, 2013Surprised by all the tips that say service is bad. Servers are helpful, food comes quick, and is amazing.
- What's Good HereAugust 29, 2014Remember to order the Cuban sandwich and some croquets for a bit of Cuban fast food.
- ...The service will take about 1,000,000 years but the food I think is worth the wait. All I'm saying is don't show up really hungry and you'll be tip-top.
- TK BaltimoreJune 18, 2010Don't go to the Hard Grove if you're in a rush, but if you want a good Cuban sandwich, and perhaps a killer mojito or rum runner, this is the place to go.
- Ali SaeedMay 28, 2011Service was good and if you are not opposed to chicken with bones get the Cuban chicken and rice...AMAZING!
- Steve HaleNovember 27, 2010Everything I've eaten here is fantastic,the specialty drinks effin great.b...u...t.....I...t...s.....s...l...o...w....they seem to forget you're sitting there
- Ask for a large margarita and the plantains with guacamole. Oh boy!!
- Lauralai Coastal MigrationJune 5, 2011Awesome food, but make sure you dedicate the whole afternoon if you're having brunch - brutally slow service.
- Mike LydenMarch 5, 2012Drinks are excellent here! Though the service is in slow-motion. The food is tasty... if a bit pricey.
- I've been coming here for years. I come back because I love the drinks and food but I hate the slow service.
- Christa ConteOctober 9, 2010Service is much better! Love the bottomless mimosas and bloody marys! Great food - we love it here!
- Abigail PhillipsNovember 3, 2012Limited menu - but the chicken and rice dish was delicious except for the massive amount of bones.
- Michelle MitchellMarch 18, 2010The food is soo vey good. Very tastey Cuban meals with a very urban twist. Yummy
- Mdot BNovember 17, 2012Ordered chicken sandwich. Came out a bit pink on the inside. Waiter then asked me if I wanted it burnt? Naw sir, I wanted it cooked.
- My thoughts here:
http://jerseycitygal.com/2013/06/20/hard-grove-cafe/ - I can forgive the long wait, but I was served toast with blue mold patches and a burnt omelet at brunch this Saturday. Never going back.
- Haven't been here since June '12 and they have new wait staff. But the service is still slow.
- Leandre ScottJanuary 28, 2010Go on Tuesday or Wednesday nights. They have 3 all you can eat deals ranging from 9 to 14 bucks.
- I've experienced slow service before, but management has yet to hire more staff. After waiting 1hr 17mins for my meal it came out completely wrong. Over it
- Gia GarciaOctober 30, 2011Tasteless food and poor service. Took forever to get (Tap) water in a jar. Forever to be seated and Noticed by whoever the hostess is. Saving grace was the Mudslide.
- Kevin OcampoNovember 16, 2012The skirt steak was small and the rice was bland. Overall place is so so
- Paige DavisJuly 12, 2013Here is a good tip, don't friggin eat here. Worst service ever. The only thing that tasted decent was the drink. Ugh, what a waste of time and money
- Not the servers fault the owners are lawyers not customer service people. So they think everyone is a thief so makes service slow.
- lindsay vMarch 2, 2012in case you need one more person to say it, food isn't worth the wait. INSANELY slow. like, the slowest place I've ever been. no bs.
