Description: Here is a spot that is so authentic to the Big Easy that you feel like…well…you’re in the big easy. Oddfellows, taking its name from a famous New Orleans cemetery, has been a favorite destination for fun-loving Hobokenites and food critics alike since 1993. And the minute you step inside you can see why. In addition to the smack-your-chops-delicious Cajun menu, featuring jambalaya, etouffee, gumbo, and blackened catfish, you get your choice of 13 beers on tap to help you wash your po-boy of choice down smoothly! Choose to sip (or guzzle) your native Hurricane cocktail at the bar with the other patrons, people watching on the street-side café or if you’re in an anonymous mood, the private back outdoor courtyard! No New Orleans hot spot would be complete without a Mardi Gras celebration, and Oddfellows answers with a week-long rip-roarin’ party, featuring live funk & zydeco bands and a glittering float that tosses out beads, masks, and trinkets to the revelers below! During crawfish season (May-July), live crawfish are tossed into a giant pot of boiling Cajun spices, then served by the pound along side corn on the cob and boiled red potatoes.
Come see for yourself why Oddfellows has been a Hoboken staple for all these years!
