About the restaurant
We are ready to break ground on our next adventure! That’s right, Hudson Café is coming to TROY!

Founded in 2011, The Hudson Café was born in the heart of Detroit just before the city’s much-publicized revival began. Located on Woodward Avenue between Grand River and State St, our name is a nod to the iconic Hudson’s department store and Detroit’s heyday as a bustling, cosmopolitan city. We have been blessed ever since to watch the city progress and grow around us.

Our mission is simple: to celebrate the diverse, hustling, resilient city of Detroit and its people by consistently providing amazing food and a stellar experience. Our expansive menu has something for everyone--whether it’s our take on the famous Maurice salad that your grandparents remember from Hudson’s, a heaping stack of pancakes for the dessert-for-breakfast person in your life, or Mickey Mouse pancakes for the little ones--we’ve got you covered.

About the restaurant
Welcome to Maggiano's Little Italy in Troy, MI. Our dining room is ideal for family-style dining with our Italian–American cuisine, reminiscent of a Sunday night visit to your grandmother’s house -- or as they say in Italy, nonna’s casa! These delicious dishes paired with great service, generous portions and a warm atmosphere keep our guests and their families coming back for more.

Join us soon! We look forward to hosting your next business or family gathering.

The only negative is that I wish we had a point person to discuss the best options for our big party. As far as best pricing for food and games. I also wasn't expecting our party to be so in the open. Haven't been to Dave and Busters in years so wasn't privy to the new setup. But overall experience was positive. Our waitresses was efficient, they got everyone's order correct and food came out in a timely manner. we did have extra people show up, unexpectedly and I wish Dave and busters was more accommodating to that, but we had to reserve and wait for another table to open so everyone could have a seat.

I think Rainforest Cafe has been k on for its great rainforest atmosphere but also for having terrible food. It is still expensive, but there is nothing else like it. I love to take kids there. The food was actually great today. I really think people should give it another chance
