    This was my second time at Hudson House & it’s always an amazing experience ! Came here last night for my 21st birthday and it was exceptional. Our waitress was the sweetest and very attentive. The place was very well cleaned and nice. The food was so good and only took about 15 mins to come out despite them being busy. 10/10 recommend the Mac & Cheese. The drinks were also amazing! Would recommend Hudson house to everyone!!

    I hadn't been here in a few years, so my friend and I decided to run it back! We were not disappointed! Hands down some of the best beef fajitas I've ever had in my life. The meat was cooked to perfection and so tender. Also, the appetizer shrimp brochette - so delicious!!! Don't even get me started on how much of a treat the soft serve margarita is. I can't stop raving about it. Our server, I can't recall her name, but I know it started with a 'K' was awesome, too! This restaurant is still a hit - always good stuff coming from Kyle Noonan!
