    Service was top notch. Yes, we had a great server, two actually. One ran on human food, and the other on those amazing little dancing electrons. --the server bot. We co all thought the food was average. I had a 1/4 rack of ribs and smoked sausage. The ribs were okay, but I prefer ribs "fall off the bone tender." The sausage was tasteless, and a bit greasy. I would suggest going with a higher quality meat. The sides-- Mac n cheese--baked beans were good, as I recall. My wife had pulled pork, which was above average. We all liked the restaurant's ambience--both inside and out. The newly constructed restaurant is situated in a lovely country setting, and boasts a large parking lot, rear stage and seating area with a nice view of a small lake. 518 is definitely worth a visit.

    This was my first time eating at 518 and really enjoyed it! My friend who suggested this restaurant has eaten here multiple times and has never had a bad experience! The service was excellent and so was the food. It was a nice atmosphere and I can see this being the go to spot for Saturday football games! Overall great experience and will definitely go again!

    Tried it again...but sat at the bar this time Much better experience. I still think the food is lacking, but the bar staff are stellar!!

    This is what $28 burnt, salty, meatloaf looks like

    They say the third time's a charm. Well in this case the third time is the nail in the coffin for this disgusting disgrace of a restaurant. Tried it when it first opened...not good but chalked it up to being new and they need to work the kinks out. Tried it a second time some months later, same result of greasy, salty food that was inedible. Server was very nice but said the manager was too busy to even talk to us about why we barely touched our food. Both times paid 100% in full. Today ordered again this time take out as it had been a long time and maybe just maybe they have improved. This was the worst by far. Burnt food, undercooked food, cold food, and it was all so bad that it should not be served to starving stray animals much less humans. $150 I spent to feed my family and the quesadilla was the only thing of the 5 that was barely edible. Mind you we had to cook it longer so it wasn't stone cold in the center anymore. And before you say" well it 's take out and you can't expect it to be as hot as it would directly from the kitchen to your table". I live less than a 10 minute drive away and the food should not feel like it just came out of the refrigerator. 518 is an embarrassment but they won't care. Enough people flock to this place that they couldn't care less if they loose my business. Stay away from this disgraceful repugnant fake BBQ business. I took a picture of what they call meatloaf and have the audacity to charge you $28 dollars for. The rest of the meal I didn't even bother but if you want to see it, it's in the trash, I just hope raccoons don't get into it and get sick.

    Food was okay, staff and atmosphere were great. The outdoor seating and child friendly environment are amazing.

    Is the brisket any better yet?

    I was not a fan of the brisket. The burnt ends were tough! Never had burnt ends like that

I'm pretty sure the kids licked the bowl clean. Kids Chicken Nuggets - 6 crispy nuggets with a side of choice. Thick breading but good portion and taste. Crinkle fries were a bit hit for this little one. Enjoyed the fries with ranch. Lone Star Brisket Sandwich - Smoked brisket, house-made pickles, and slaw. Brisket looked delicious but was a bit dry and lacked seasoning. The pickles, slaw, and BBQ sauce delivered the moisture and flavor. Smoked Half Chicken - Smaller chicken quarter but tender and moist. Still lacking flavor counting on the BBQ sauce. Had the mac-and-cheese and fries as a side. Mac was cheesy but again dry. Saint Louis Pork Ribs - Good portion but again on the flavor - heavily reliant on the sauce. Sweet tea was perfect and the pickles were delicious! Service wasn't the best; refills were hard to get. I think next time we will avoid a chain and find a hole-in-the-wall establishment.

The price is very reasonable; this is a place where you could easily throw peanut shells on the floor and no one would bat an eye (disclaimer: there are no free peanuts to nosh or shells to toss). Hudson's has a buffet. We checked it out quickly (looks like it had pulled pork and fried chicken and chicken livers as protein and a lot of cafeteria style sides and desserts). I guess if I were 30 years younger and had a big appetite I might go for that deal. After a short discussion, we ordered platters: two pulled pork, and one rib. My wife ordered chicken salad. When our orders arrived, we counted three pulled pork platters; alas, no ribs. Opps! Once my order hit the table, he couldn't take it back, so he promptly corrected the order and I got the benefit of double meat, i. e., a generous portion of pulled pork and my ribs. Pulled pork was quite tasty, but I think that I have made it just as good or better in a slow cooker. I really did enjoy my ribs. They had just enough meat and a brown sugar, dry rub. They were tender and not dried out, so I'll give Hudson's four stars on the ribs. I think the baked beans were advertised as barbecue, but our friend who had them said they weren't, but still tasted good. The mac in the mac n cheese was not over cooked, and it was quite cheesy, and I was surprised to find a few crispy chunks of cheesy sauce--always a plus! The slaw was fresh and well prepared. This was our first trip to Hudson's and our friends have been there several times but not for years. I have to give them a solid three. As I already mentioned, Hudson's a good-value dining choice; the BBQ is decent, but the sides are not much better than a K & W cafeteria. A great family Smokehouse!
