This place is a little on the small side so get here early if you want a seat. I got the sweet potato fries with an awesome (not overpowering) horseradish mustard sauce. I think this was my first time not having a sweet sauce to go with my sweet potato fries and I loved it! I also got the French Flip burger thinking that the Beer Braised short ribs would replace the beef patty, but I was wrong. I ended up removing the patty because I didn't want a beef overload. The burger patty was tasty when I tried it separately and the short rib sandwich was great too. read more

Flip Side - Hudson - Sweet potato fries and onion rings - Burgers Near Me - Hudson, Ohio

See all

Best burgers in Northeast Ohio! Flipside specializes in creative burgers, but there are quite a few other appetizing options on the menu, as well. My favorite is the Mikey Burger with sweet potato fries and horseradish sauce on the side. There's also a long and rotating list of draft beers, and they serve cocktails, too. It's one of those places where I'd really like to try everything on the menu. The ambiance is kitschy in a good way, and there are TVs above the bar to watch games. The only negative is its size. Some of the other Flipside restaurants are much bigger, but the Hudson venue - which is the original - is quite small. Be prepared to wait or try to go during an odd time. It's definitely worth a visit. read more

Flip side has the best burgers, fries, and shakes around. I like that you can order all burgers without a bun. My husband and I used to go all the time. My favorite was the Mac and cheese with pulled pork. Even after switching to a mostly plant-based diet, we still went and found their veggie burger to be delicious. My only complaints are that all the fries are prepared in animal fat (which tastes delicious but left us feeling a bit sick), and there's no option for having them prepared any other way. The only other small complaint is that if there's a wait to get in (and there's usually a wait to get in, at least pre-Covid), there's really nowhere to wait, so you're typically forced to wait outside. Pro tip: plan to go between 1:30 and 5 to beat the crowds. read more

I flew into town for 30 year High School Reunion and was craving burger to tame the hanger from Kepner's last night and morning work out. A friend recommended this place so I stopped in to check it out. Ponied up to bar and was greeted immediately. I ordered the Infamous One Red Door Burger with side of plain fries. They both were amazing and will definitely be back. Next time will make room for one of there shakes for sure. read more

Very diverse burger menu with which you really cannot go wrong. They are big and delicious. They also have a great beer selection and a nice laid back atmosphere read more

I will go a long way for a good burger especially a grass fed burger and the Flipside fits the bill. Went there with friends and my wife we all decided to get a different item on the menu to try out a number of offerings. We decided to try out the Flipside,the black and blue and the lamb burgers along with the sweet potato fries and the regular -Loved them both. The burgers were all excellent. Only complaint was the quality of the blue cheese itself. Had this non creamy,weird texture about it( I'm very selective with my cheese). But otherwise all is well in Burgerland. We had a couple of the beers on tap which the waitress helped us select and she was right on the money. The cocktails were very well made and hit the spot. The staff and our waitress were spot on and very knowledgeable of the food and the spirits. Definitely a go to place. ps May have to wait a little bit before seating but not as bad as the Melt. read more

There's no debate. Flip Side kicks BSpot's a$$ when it comes to good burgers. BSpot is such a Bobby Flay knock off it's sad. Symon's even tried Bobby's signature Crunchified burger by adding potato chips. Symon also has an awful selection of sauces. At Flip Side it's just ketchup and mustard. Flip Side's grass fed beef is the best. Their beer selection is fantastic and their fries are traditional fresh cut and sweet potato. No rosemary here. Great service too! read more

If you're in the mood for burgers, this is probably the spot to go in the area. I've only had the French Flip, but I thought it was good. I personally prefer their Chicken Sandwich--the grilled chicken is super juicy and delicious. I'd recommend getting sides or starters since when you order a burger/sandwich it comes with nothing but the sandwich. The hand cut fries are amazing! Perfect thickness, greasiness, balance of crispiness and softness, flavor. I've tried the regular fries, truffle fries, and the mushroom gravy fries. I enjoyed all of them, although the mushroom gravy fries were a little salty. Service is pretty fast, and the ambience is nice but casual. Would definitely be ok coming here with kids or on a date. I wish they took reservations, but I don't mind a short wait for the food here. read more

Look at the menu. If this is the food you're in the mood for, this may be the best place in the area to get it. So let's start ... Aaaaarrrggghhh!!! I can't wait any longer!!! I must tell you about the sweet potato fries! TheyarethebestsweetpotatofriesIhaveevereateninmylife!!!!!! A French fry should be slightly crispy on the outside, soft and light on the inside, and these are perrrrrrrfect! They are the perfect thickness, the whatever-it-is-sauce they serve with them has a nice little bite to it! I told my the waitress to take them away from me before I overate, and I found myself instinctively reaching out to stop her when she grabbed the plate to fulfilll the direction I'd given her. The chicken philly was very good. The ambience is is nice for a conversation. This is about as good as a burger joint gets, folks. I'm dying to try the Ahi Tuna Sandwich next time I go, which I hope to be very very soon!! read more

This place is so dang good! The staff has always been super helpful and enjoyable ever since their start. I'm a fan of the house burger and their skinny fries, but no matter the group (my 6yo niece or 68yo dad) I've never heard someone speak poorly of their meal read more

Wish we could've left a better review! Our night started out great! Seated immediately by the host followed by waters. Literally that was it. We sat there for 30 mins and no one came over to see if we had been helped until we were getting up to leave. We couldn't even find a server to flag down. Sadly don't think we will be coming here again based on our experience and other reviews. Seems like this is the norm for this place. read more

I have found a replacement for that *other* burger restaurant that only brought disappointment to my belly. Sorry, Michael Symon, but you have been trumped. I've been dying to go to FlipSide for over a year...the only problem was that they didn't open until just recently! They were well worth the wait. The restaurant is quite small, but I loved the decor. It was fun and a bit edgy. Just what a classy burger place should be. Service was prompt and friendly, without being overbearing. Again, perfect. Their menu offers many different options (even some for vegetarians) that all sound delectable. It took much effort to not ask for one of everything. Somehow, the BF and I exerted self-control and sampled the following: The Side Salad- This was made of mixed field green, cucumbers, carrots, and crispy shallots topped with balsamic vinaigrette. There was magic in that vinaigrette. Even by BF who hates anything green loved the salad. Triple-Cooked French French Fries- These babies were cooked perfectly, but the herbs didn't really win me over. To be fair, though, I'm completely biased and love Lola Fries and GHT Fries so much, I don't know that any others will compare. Crispy chili rubbed onion rings w/remoulade- Neither of us were terribly impressed by these. To be fair, I've never met an onion ring that impressed me. They weren't chili-rubbed, but dusted with chili powder. While the dusting added some flavor, the onion rings were probably our least favorite dish. The Smokey Burger- This delectable burger was topped with smoked beef brisket, pickled jalepeno peppers, smoked gouda cheese, and served with a side of bacon BBQ sauce. The burger was cooked perfectly and oh-so-flavorful and juicy. Nothing beats grass-fed beef. The toppings are worked together to create bliss on a bun. THis was my BF's burger and I wanted to steal it for myself. The Forester Burger- The on had wild mushrooms, caramelized onions, a crispy shiitake mushroom and was served with a side of truffle aioli. While this burger was quite tasty, I've had better mushroom-topped burgers elsewhere. So, just like the fries, I was unfairly biased against this one. Apple Pie Shake- Vanilla ice cream, chunks of apple pie, caramel sauce...and a little bit of heaven for good measure. This was also ordered by the BF, and he stated that it was better than that other apple pie shake at that other burger place, even though this one didn't have bacon. While it was tasty, I wasn't blown away by it. I give them 4 stars instead of 5 because there is another burger place in my home state of CT that blows this place out of the water. However, I do think I need to sample more burgers because I just might not have found my 5-star here. Can't wait to come back! read more

Ahhh, seems like an age old debate: B-Spot or Flip Side? Tough decision, I'll tell ya. . . But after coming here (among *other* burger joints) throughout the years, it seems like Flip Side has definitely pulled ahead in Cleveland's Burger Competition. Gradually upp-ing their game in the best way possible. Yes, the sides are à la carte - but, I enjoy choosing gourmet chips, french fries, onion rings with an option of a variety of toppings. . .also, did I mention the tempura shitake mushrooms and asparagus appetizer? An indulgent necessity! Love that there are craft beer draft/bottle selections a plenty - but, if you're a bloody mary lover like myself, do not pass up the BACON-VODKA INFUSED BLOODY MARY. Really, truly, amazing. Onto the burgers - the most important part, right? I suggest Shawn's Burger or the Chili Pepper Burger, as both undoubtedly reign supreme. Also, if you're a health nut or into veggie burgers like I occasionally am, the Inverted Veggie Burger is excellent. The atmosphere is best described as casual, with an industrial and modern touch. Expect crowds, so I highly recommend stopping by on an off-peak hour and sitting at the bar if your schedule allows. Sit back and enjoy with friends and/or your significant other - Flip Side is an ideal setting to unwind over some delicious food and drink. read more

Flip Side - Hudson - Bacon-Infused Vodka Bloody Mary. As you can imagine, it was beyond divine! - Burgers Near Me - Hudson, Ohio

As noted by other reviews, this is a farly small restaurant, so it would be pretty easy to be faced with a long wait for a table. Quality meat, toppings and bun. Excellent execution. You would have ot look a long time to find a better spot for an excellent burger. My wife enjoyed the Green Eggs & Ham burger, I had the Forester. The Forester is loaded with sauteed mushrooms and truffle aoli (on the side). Great balance of flavor & texture here. We split the Grana Padano & truffle oil finished fries. It was all VERY, VERY good. I thought that the pricing was reasonable, a good value. We'll be back, that's for sure. read more

Flip Side - Hudson - Forester Burger - Burgers Near Me - Hudson, Ohio

Stopped in on my lunch break and even though it was nearly 1pm they were packed, which I took to be a good sign. Grabbed the only open seat at the bar and ordered myself the impossible burger. I didn't read the menu well enough to realize you have to order fries as a side, they don't automatically come with the burger, so there's a tip. I'd have liked to sample them but honestly I'd never have finished them so that's ok. On to the burger... not impressed. The Impossible burger is everywhere now (yay!) so you'd think they'd all be the same, but no... This was super thin, over cooked and had no seasoning. If you don't understand that this should be seasoned, formed and cooked like a real burger- to be flavorful and juicy - don't serve it, stick with a veggie patty. Also, they have 2 options for buns, brioche, clearly not going to work with a vegan impossible burger, or pay extra for a heavy gluten free bun. I will say that the bartender who waited on me was very pleasant. I wanted to like it, it was a fun looking place, but definitely packed because of their beef burgers, not the impossible burger. read more

walked in at 5 till closing and they did not want to take my to go pizza order. it was to go. they suck.

The service was alright, didn't come by asking if we needed anything once we got our food. Plus, a couple next to us came in around 10-15mins after us and ordered burgers...and they got there food before we even got our fries and onion rings. Hmmm.... Then we got bloody Mary's before hand and they were not what we expected. They to me tasted watery and could have had more tomato juice mix. I will say that the onion rings and the fries were good though and that's why I am giving them three stars. The kitchen is at least doing there jobs right! read more

My hometown burger joint. Yummy craft burgers with all the fixings! Cooked oh so perfectly. Love the truffle fries too. It's a small space so plan on waiting to sit.. I usually pick up and leave a big tip. The staff is worth it! read more

The food is good - but not worth the price... we paid $36 for 2 burgers, a side of fries and a coke. The service was ok... nothing special. Had an empty glass for over 5 minutes (which is a serious offense in my husband's book). It's not a restaurant we would go back to when there are so many other options. read more

Went for lunch. We tried the original flip side burger and the Mac and cheese with brisket. The burger was was great and prepared perfectly. The Mac and cheese was really good especially with the brisket. The server was very nice and attentive. read more

Sat at the bar and happily I was surrounded by drinkers of wine, beer and scotch. Everyone was merry and eventually got around to ordering food. Mostly office space types drinking on a holiday season Friday afternoon. Holidays are my favorite time for visiting pubs by myself. Everyone's in a good mood and chatty. The beer selection was solid with an interesting selection of beers on tap. Lots of canned beers too. Nothing cheap. I settled on Holly Jolly by Fathead's. Flavorful festive beer. Food. I ordered the Flip Side burger. Very good meat, delicious and with a perfect amount of fat. Not too big either, which is fine. Perfect for lunch. Toppings were very flavorful including a generous amount of bacon. I will say that my burger was cooked medium, and I had asked for medium rare. Normally a mortal sin. Given the great flavor and festive holiday mood, I let it pass. Next time? Things would be different. Nice place in a suburban shopping haven of Hudson. Service was excellent. Busy, but experienced bartender who kept a close eye out and even cycled people at the door. Recommended if in the area. read more

Took family there on 2/14/23. Onion rings and french fries were burned. Service was good but waitress making excuses about the kitchen help was not appropriate. Owner of this business needs to wake up. One Red Door failed. 3 Palms at Pinecrest failed and Flip Side will too regardless of going into a new space. read more

This is one of our favorite places to go to eat. My wife and I eat at flip side at least once a month. The burgers are always juicy and the craft beer selection is pretty good as well. We love the sweet potato fries, they come with this kinda tangy sauce that is just right with the fries. I usually go with one of 3 burgers. There's the French flip, the Smokey, and the Shawn's burger. They have burger and shakes of the month that are good too. The Kobe corn dogs are also a good go for and app. Hands down the best burger place around. read more

Possibly the best burgers in Hudson, but definitely the best sweet potato fries! It's also a great bar atmosphere to watch a game or meet someone for a drink. At the same time, it's very family friendly and casual. Always an easy option when no one can decide where to go. Just a tip: use the NoWait app to get a spot in line before you arrive because there tends to be a wait for dinner! read more

Flip Side - Hudson - Burgers Near Me - Hudson, Ohio

They were a 5 star but 1 star in 2020. Never reopened the inside in 2020 and take out is just not the same (smaller portions). Heard they were moving One Red Door into the Flipside side and vice versa to have a larger burger space next year. Also when they were opened they used paper straws for their milkshakes, how do you think that worked? Not good so bring your own straws if they do reopen. NOTE the one in Chagrin Falls is open for Dine in so go there. The Rail in Fairlawn is open also for dine in. It was nice to have you in the past. Hudson needs a good burger place asap read more

This is a great burger joint--it is literally tied for my 2nd favorite burger place-- The ranking is still as follows 1. M.E.A.T. In Key Largo Florida 2. Is a 2 way tie between THe Daily Grind in Daytona Beach, Florida and Flip Side I had the Mikey --bacon, tomato, lettuce, pepper jack and a spicy remoulade sauce. The burger was cooked to my liking and everything was delicious. The fries were much better this time from the last time I had a burger here--the last time they didn't have as much flavor--maybe it depends on the chef/cook you get that night. Really a good time with family. The things that differentiates this burger joint from my number ONE are all little minor things but they add up-1. Better bun. --it's a bit dry Here--it could be the day of week we went. 2. The homemade mango chipotle ketchup (which should be bottled and sold--I would never buy normal ketchup ever again) at MEAT 2. Homemade beer mustard--amazing (drools) 3 homemade root beer on tap (insanity) 4. Micro brews done by the restaurant on tap. All things that could help Flip side to improve the experience with customers. read more

Ok. So the last time we were here, 2 years and 3 months ago, it was the last straw for us. Today we decided to give them another shot. Happy to say today's experience was good. We didn't get burgers, instead we opted for a fried chicken sandwich and the chicken Cobb salad (which I asked if they could blacken the chicken, they can't because they don't have Cajun seasoning, but I did get a peppercorn seasoning added). Both were very good. Service was good. Still hard to figure who to give your name to cause they are never standing by the group of people waiting. Ps. The chicken on the salad is good. A lot of places have those dark charred marks that actually makes the chicken taste burnt. I HATE that! But here there are NO dark marks!! Yay!!! Chicken is perfect read more

Stopped into this place while I was in Akron and I'm glad I did. Staff was friendly and attentive. Restaurant was clean and had a great atmosphere. They had a good selection of craft beers which is always a plus in my book and had very good mixed drinks too. The food in this place was above average I had Chili Pepper Burger medium which was amazing and I really liked the smoked chili ketchup that was made for this burger. I also had a order of triple cooked fries with mushroom gravy which where good and the perfect for sharing. I also sampled my buddies macaroni & cheese with the BBQ Brisket which was good just didn't have a lot of brisket in it. Overall really liked this place and I have it bookmarked so next time I am in the area I would stop by again. read more

Flip Side - Hudson - Chili Pepper Burger and the triple cooked fries with Mushroom Gravy awesome lunch! - Burgers Near Me - Hudson, Ohio

Easily one of my favorite places I've been in years. Definitely has the feeling of a small, hole in the wall location, with the production quality of a 5 star restaurant. Flip side's burger concoctions are akin to those that you'd make in the kitchen and be known for. The cheese fries don't taste like they have spray cheese, and are easily the best I've had, and the onion rings have a house made thousand island dressing that is really amazing. Also, they serve the impossible burger on all of their burgers, which allows you to enjoy all these hangover food concoctions, without having to worry about eating cute lil animals. I truly love flip side, and highly recommend going. read more

I really enjoyed the black and blue burger man oh man still thinking about it - this ain't no BW3 black and blue burger - this one lays out all the competition and those sweet potato fries - can I get a witness? Mmmmmm boy they good I'm not a fan of the High chair but they seemed to be the only kind seats in the place - a couple of regular feet on the floor seats would have made me more comfortable. I'm thinking maybe carry out next time black and blue burger and the sweet potato fries with a coke mmmm am I dreaming again - oh supertramp read more

This place was a great addiction to our short stay in the area. The service was fast and friendly and the food was delicious and hot. We got onion rings which were probably the best I've ever had. They also had a lot of different craft beers and mixed drinks to choose from. If we ever find ourselves back in this area, we'll be sure to stop back. read more

I don't do burgers a lot (not a huge red meat fan), but when we're in the mood, Flipside is awesome! My husband and I love their truffle oil fries and the stuffed peppers are the best in town! It's a very small place so go early to avoId the crowd. read more

I had an impromptu visit at Flip Side for lunch a couple weeks ago and ended up being pleasantly surprised. It was St. Patty's Day, my dad and I had traveled out in that direction to do some rock climbing at Kendall Cliffs but it was packed, so we made a detour until the crowds thinned out. I wasn't thrilled to be going to a pub before climbing, but in the end I was glad to have experienced it. They had a nice selection of brews, it was crowded in light of the big drinking day and most people were just drinking green beer, but they had quite a few craft selections available on tap. Our waitress was friendly and service was prompt. The scenery was unique in its own way, particularly the bookshelf that decorated the wall opposite the bar. I appreciate anything that promotes reading a good, old fashioned book these days. Naturally, what ended up making it all worthwhile was the food. I tried the namesake (Flipside) burger, a pretty standard concoction, but the beef was exceptionally tasteful and apparently comes from Ohio-raised, grass-fed cattle. It was perfectly cooked too, which always gains big points from me - I'm always judging whether steaks and burgers are over or under cooked. Glad I had the opportunity to spontaneously experience this place and will be considering future planned excursions when possible. Keep it real, Flip Side! read more

Sometimes there is excellence in consistency. I have gone to Flip Side since it opened in Hudson. I have never been disappointed (except when the wait for a table is over an hour!). The claim to fame are the burgers and my favorite is Shawn's Burger with fried egg and bacon. It is a very good burger but to be honest I am still in search for the greatest burger on my travels. Sweet Potato Fries with Mustard dipping sauce is excellence, though. Top all this off with the a thick milkshake and you have yourself a consistent but great meal out. Final tip: there is always a wait so try the call ahead seating. The hostess actually called us to make sure our arrival and table did march up. read more

This burger joint has a cowboy retro atmosphere. These are words I never thought I would say haha. I had the cheese burger, and my bf had the flip side burger. They both came out very quickly with our truffle fries a well. The burgers were pretty good, but the fries were my favorite. I would eat here again but it's not the best burger I've ever had. This place gets a 4 because the staff was fast, and friendly. If you do come here share fries with others because they give you a huge order!! read more

Solid burgs, the buttermilk chicken sandwich is probably my favorite item, highly suggest you try it

My family and I are frequent patrons of Flip Side! Why do we keep coming back? Because they prepare the BEST BURGERS IN OHIO!!! Our fave is the Flip Side! And do order the fries or the onion rings! Their cole slaw is my favorite of any restaurant! Actually, we have tried most of their sides and we have not been disappointed! Also they frequently switch up the menu with seasonal burgers so you won't get bored! The place is small and space is tight, and like most burger joints, this is not a place for a quiet, intimate date with your Sweetie! However, the servers and bartender seem to enjoy their jobs and the food is consistently phenomenal--at least in part because of the quality of the Ohio grass fed beef! The only problem we have is waiting to be seated, so either try to get there before 5 (4 on holidays) or call ahead to be put on a waiting list. read more

I ordered the inverted Veggie Burger to go. I liked everything about it and was truly impressed. The only thing I would caution folks about is the line and the crowd. It is always busy and on the weekends, you may have to stand in line out the door. Prepare for the crowd. I ordered take out and had to wade my way through the crowd to get the brown bag to go. read more
