We walked passed Marty’s in Jersey City quite a few times. Located in an old firehouse, this place serves some quite amazing burgers and shakes. I love the fact that they have a POS (Point Of Sale) when you enter, so it gives you more time to look at their menu and customize what you want, rather than being at the counter and feeling the pressure to order quickly because there are people behind you, probably with the same feeling, waiting.

I always go for a double cheeseburger, a single patty being too small compared to the bun and not giving enough chance for the meat to shine. So, yes, I got a double cheeseburger, that came with American cheese (nice amount of it), a slice of tomato, onion, but no lettuce, that I topped with ketchup and mayo. The burger looked really appetizing and the first bite was great: the meat was perfectly cooked medium, juicy, with a nice char.

Jodi got the Impossible burger with American cheese, tomato and pickles. The Impossible is way better than the Beyond burger and I have to say was pretty good, even if I prefer mine.

To accompany our burgers, we got some crispy fries that were pretty good and would think were not frozen considering the bags of Idaho potatoes laying on the floor. And of course, to help me digest (???) I got a cookies and cream milkshake that had a perfect consistency, with some chunks of Oreo cookie.

This was a nice surprise, the burgers being very good and I cannot wait to go back to Marty’s: this is definitely a neighborhood gem.

Enjoy (I did)!
