I will definitely come back to explore the menu more!

The bartender was SO accommodating and thoughtful. She came out to serve us and checked on us consistently even though we were the only ones outside. She made sure to bring out pups a water bowl and was just super friendly through and through! The beer selection was awesome. They had their own craft beers but also other local beers as well as a variety of ciders & seltzers on tap. Food was fantastic as well. I've been craving some German food and got the local plate...those pierogies were to die for! Caramelized onion on top was the mwah (chef's kiss!)

I'm pretty leery of Hudson restaurants now, lol. Had high hopes for this place and the Lager House…read moreand both in a row just did not have very good food. I didn't like the decor (or lack of it), the many TVs were distracting and loud (is this supposed to be a sports bar?), the other diners were super annoying and loud and even though there were only 2 tables seated inside with us on a Tuesday evening, they all knew each other and made such a racket. I was just trying to enjoy a date night with my Boo and we were constantly repeating ourselves over the din of these "woo men" and "woo girls" hahahahaha. Okay, onto the very mediocre food--I got the shrimp and grits. The description and the picture of this dish on the website looked so buttery, creamy and delicious. What I actually got was undercooked, dry, gritty grits and SUPER salty gravy that gave no other flavor. I do admit they gave me enough shrimp for the dish but it was not very good. My BF got the brisket sandwich and it looked so dry. I had a bite and it was so plain! No caramelized onions or sauce...he said the cole slaw was not bad. This place also annoyingly adds a 3% credit card fee, FYI. So in summary, life is way too short to spend it eating undercooked, salty food in such a fratty sports bar setting.

Initially we were only getting an appetizer until we read the menu. We had the burnt ends appetizer with plantain chips. The ends were glorious, some fatty and some crispy. The plantain chips had no flavor. Settled on the brisket with the grits and apple slaw. As well as sides of the succotash and cheddar smash. Succotash, grits and apple slaw alone are worth going back!

Bad food, worse service. November 17, 6 PM…read more Several problems. One, green chunks of cucumber or broccoli got into my macaroni and it gagged me until I realized what was happening. 2, My brisket was served cold and really not that tender. Thirdly, we waited a way too long for this food. I complained that night about my slow service, cold brisket, and green chunks of something in my macaroni. The hostess' response was, "we don't have a manager." A woman did show up, I calmly and politely introduced myself but she did not give me her name. I told her what was happening and she had a *deer in the headlights look the whole time.* She offered to replace my meal. I said "no, I ate it, but maybe you could do something for me." 20 minutes later she comped me half the price of my meal since I did eat it. But then my wife got sick all the next day, a horrible case of upset stomach. She had the ribs, succotash, and potatoes. So I filled out their website feedback form twice but they blew me off for almost 3 weeks. That's why I'm putting this out here on Yelp now.

Recently stopped here while I was in the Hudson area with family and friends. This place was…read moreabsolutely cool to check out. This place had tons of people here and a great warm atmosphere here as well . The restrooms here were okay. The layout of the restroom was a bit odd just because it's a long hallway with a random urinal around the corner and then the random toilet around the other corner. There were plenty of seats here too nonetheless so expect this place to be busy on weekends. They have non-alcoholic drinks too for those that have to be the designated of driver. Always recommend parking behind the building in the parking lot unless it's a really slow. Prices here weren't too bad either. Overall, I highly recommend checking this place out for a casual visit.

It is easy to find, easy to park, spacious with plenty of seating and an outdoor deck overlooking the river. We were seated promptly and greeted by a very nice young lady by the name of Lorelei (quite a wonderful name). She was effective, efficient, pleasant, and made our experience that much better. At the entrance was a surprisingly well stocked wine cellar with some very good names. I was looking forward to a nice glass of wine for lunch. Unfortunately, the table selection only included a very few obscure names by the glass, so that option was out. The menu included all the standard burgers, flatbreads, and odds and ends one would expect. The food was good and we had a nice lunch. We finished with a nice cup of coffee and a pleasant smile from Lorelei. I very much enjoyed our excursion to Kent State University and "The River Merchant". I would recommend both.

I guess he was a regular? Food, as had been mentioned before, is so-so. Their "famous Ruben" was OK. The prices are pretty low for food, though, so you should adjust your expectations. For the price paid, absolutely nothing to complain about. If you're a local or staying at one of the hotels nearby and just want a drink and maybe a sandwich, this is a fair option. However, I wouldn't expect it to be a destination.

Luckily Drew at the bar took care of us because table service wasn't happening. We play trivia every week and love to order a bunch of food. We kindly asked the woman server for a menu a few times. We watched everyone else get menus and service. We watched her sing happy birthday and enjoy the birthday party, we played 2 hours of trivia, we watched the woman server get down and boogie, but we are not getting table service when every table is. It's so strange because usually the service is top notch. It's a bummer because none of us had dinner and now we have to go somewhere else. :( I read the past reviews and apparently if they don't recognize you here, they won't serve you at the tables. That explains why the woman wouldn't bring us menus and completely ignored us. She doesn't know who we are because we usually have a younger, male server. Btw 2 more months for the pizza oven. They had a fire a couple months ago and they're still getting back to normal. Ambiance = loud af. You can't hear the person next to you. You can't even hear the trivia DJ and he has a sound system. You can't even understand the trivia DJ because he shoves the microphone so far into his mouth, his words are muffled. By the time you read the screen (since you can't understand him), the timer runs out. 5 stars for Drew 5 stars for the young dude server we usually have 0 stars for the woman serving on Tuesday 1 star for the trivia guy's enunciation 5 stars for location and being a fun place We decided that we are not coming back for trivia. Maybe we will for some drinks with friends. However, we do order several rounds of food and drinks for trivia. It's honestly pathetic and bad business that we were ignored like that. We may miss a week occasionally because life, but whatever. Rude. It's going to break Hollywood's heart that we have to go somewhere else for his belated birthday dinner. He loves this place.
