Very nice little bar and burger pub. They've been good with COVID, still able to do normal menu items. The sweet potato fries could best out any other, but they aren't as crunchy as they could be. Either way, the burgers, shakes, and onion rings are amazing. Would highly recommend. read more

Delicious and unique! Love every item on the menu from the home chips to the burgers salads and shakes! YUM! One of our favorite local delights! read more

I LOVE Flipside. Whenever I'm visiting my family I make sure we go in for a burger. My personal favorites are the black and blue burger and the short rib burger. Everything is excellently paired and tastes great. Usually there is a wait, so be sure to plan for that. but you can take a walk around the local stores while you wait for your table. read more

Very disappointed. Servers were rude and did not greet my husband or ask him if he needed to order or pick up our take out order. Stood for 5 minutes with only one other customer at the counter. This restaurant does not seem to support or acknowledge customers who do not look like them. BLM!! As for the food it was cold, the buns were soggy and the burger had no flavor. Do yourself a favor and skip this place. I have had better burgers at Bob Evans!! read more

Flip Side - Hudson - Flipside burger and truffle fries - Burgers Near Me - Hudson, Ohio

I've been here with my family a few times. Pros: food has always been spot on! Burgers are unique and made with quality ingredients. Salads and Mac and cheese are to die for! Amazing shakes if you save room. Fries are crispy and full of flavor. Cons: everything is a la Carte - which can get expensive quickly. No kids menu. Bummer for a family night out. I really don't the the majority of families want to spend $9 on a burger for a five year old. Great service. We try to go before 4 pm to avoid the crowd. read more

Excellent burgers. Sweet potato fries are amazing. Decent service, but long lines at peak hours.

I'd Flip for Flip Side Trying to think why I'm not immediately giving it a five. I would say it was the service. It wasn't heinous, but it was a bit inattentive and insincere (host was sorta snooty). Food? 10. I had the spicy burger - it was delish! Cooked just right, thick but bite-able (I like a big burger, but not when you can't even bite into it). The spiciness gave a good kick without making it too hot to handle. Our table shared onion rings and sweet potato fries. Each was served with a special sauce and both were delicious. The onion rings were nice and crispy and even the crunchy part was flavorful. And the SP fries were also well done - crispy and flavorful. I would go again for sure! read more

TOGO order of cheddar cheeseburger and fries. Super good! Burger was juicy and the side of fries is huge. Definitely go back for a sit-down meal. Cool little place. read more

Great burger - got the One Red Door and loved it. Juicy and tons of flavor. I saw at least 4 other burgers I needed to get. Don't skip the fries - truffle oil and cheese were amazing and enough to share. Milkshake wasn't great and boozy add in didn't last past first sips. The only problem with Flip Side is straw diameter - seriously small for pop and far to small for chunky milkshakes. I need a hose ppl!! Nice staff and great atmosphere. read more

See all

This place is always busy for good reason! The burgers are great! They aren't exactly the cheapest burger but you get what you pay for! Creative with funky flavors and creative combos. The sweet potato fries are my favorite. They have a good beer selection. Honestly I just wish the restaurant was larger. It's so popular but it's just sort of small seating wise. read more

Excellent atmosphere awesome service if you love top notch burgers and fries not too many places better than this on the planet They also offer amazing milkshakes that might be for dessert but I will try one of their amazing beers to go with your beef. Cheers grade : A Robbiescribes read more

The burger is grass fed. I asked for it to be pink. The lemonade turned to water pretty quickly. I was not charged for it. The onion rings were chili rubbed. Very bland. read more

Bbq sandwich was great, aged white cheddar made the sandwich. My wife had the chili it was delicious, with a beef short rib base in place of traditional hamburger meat or turkey. Not many options for those with a gluten allergy though. read more

This is the easiest place to eat if you have food restrictions in Hudson! They'll adapt everything. Their menu is fresh and local. I highly recommend their shakes, beers on tap, and the Uncle Jimmy burger or the Californian Turkey Burger! Can't go wrong! read more

Only exists on the weekends you'll have to go to red door to order burgers during the week

Food is great, service almost as good - but FYI , they are first come, first served ONLY. "We don't do any of that online waitlist stuff." From a bartender when I told her we checked in online. read more

Best gourmet burgers around. Hip / cool place. I like the One Red Door or mushroom Swiss burger with truffle fries and the corn dogs. Huge draft and beer list read more

I kind of expected this to be one of those hype victims. Turns out, it is. At some point, a burger was created. Somehow, the media latched onto it and gave it some vicious chews with their scummy teeth. Now Flip Side has a reputation to stand up to. Turns out, they do a decent job of it. I had to try the Curry Lamb Burger because when was the last time I'd heard the words curry, lamb and burger in the same sentence? I'd say the Medieval times but I wasn't quite born then. I was informed that it had curry yogurt sauce and cucumber mint slaw so I was expecting something exploding with an intense mixture of flavors. Not so, really. It was good but the other burgers I saw looked better. So I gorged myself on sweet potato fries. Which were good enough to kill a Viking. The fact that this is one of those places that the cool kids go to is the biggest small reason I didn't like it quite as well as I could have. And yet I'm a fan and I don't plan on flipping sides any time soon. read more

High end burger joints seem to be the going trend. Flip Side is one of the more recent additions in downtown Hudson. The burger was great. I got the Smokey, with smoked brisket and smoked gouda. Great smoked flavor and it didn't even need the BBQ sauce. I ordered the Shitake Mushrooms and Asparagus Tempura side. It was great, the breading was super thin and crisp, although very small as other reviewers have pointed out. I could have used a few more mushroom caps. The alcoholic shake really hit the spot. Our server was super friendly and the wait wasn't too bad for anything. The decor is cool. Lots of distressed stucco. The bathroom situation is weird. The sister joint next door, One Red Door, shares the hallway with the restrooms. There are about 5 doors that look the same in that hallway. When you go to the restroom, make a mental note of where you went, otherwise you will end up in Red Door's kitchen. They really could use some signage. I felt like I was in a maze. Overall, great food and drinks. But be prepared to fork over some cash. read more

Flipside was suggested to us by some friends, and we were excited to try it. The location is loud, busy, and crowded. There is no space to wait so there was a huge cluster of people waiting at the door and we couldn't find the hostess for about ten minutes. My main complaint is that this food was not worth the money. The drinks were overpriced (a PBR was $5)! Fries do not come with the burgers, so we got some fries with cheese and pork rinds as an appetizer. The fries were pretty good, the cheese was delicious, but DO NOT get the pork rinds unless you want to break your teeth! We could barely eat them, they had no flavor, and when the waitress took the plate that was still almost full she didn't even say anything. We got six burgers, all of which were so-so, except for the Red Door burger (which tasted really good). We tried each others burgers, and they barely had any flavor unless you loaded them with sauce. I got the Forester burger (picture) , and the mushrooms, onions, and burger tasted like nothing, but the sauce was great! If I were to come back I might try a milkshake because they looked pretty good, but I would only get the Red Door burger and maybe fries. Overall, I did not think the meal was worth the price. read more

We love Flip Side in Hudson! Their burgers and shakes are the best. Get their early or come late to avoid loner waits during popular dinner hours. read more

The explosion of gourmet burger joints populating NE Ohio in recent years is a welcome addition to the options available in this area. While Michael Symon's B Spot is predictably great and Fairlawn's The Rail surprisingly awful - what to make of Hudson's Flip Side? Simply put, this was the greatest hamburger I've ever eaten. I ordered the Forrester which paired a perfectly done medium grass fed hamburger with a variety of mushrooms and truffle aioli. This was umami heaven. My wife had the Flipside burger featuring default applewood bacon, balsamic vinegar, red onions and bbq sauce and again was not disappointed. The triple cooked french fries are astounding in their perfection and somehow even better when dipped in the truffle aioli. The service was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. We don't get out to Hudson often, but will make a point in the future to visit more often!!! read more

Location: Good spot, in demand so if you arrive after six and before 8:30-9 expect at least an hour wait. Food: Good stuff, good variety, sides are good and old fashioned fries and gravy are tasty. Bad: Beer prices. I find it outrageous to have two beers, craft brew IPAs, and have them cost $8 each. So a burger costs $9-10 and the beers are $7-8? Go there for a burger but order water. Then head up to Kepners to get the same beers for less than $5. read more

1/13/19 Flip Side has a cool atmosphere. Just about every burger I've had over the years has been outstanding. Tonight, I got the Uncle Jimmy, which has a layer of peanut butter, bacon and habanero pepper jelly. Delicious! This is now one of my favorites. The onion rings and sweet potato fries were also good as usual. read more

My dad imparted upon me what was honestly probably the best culinary advice that I've ever been given. Granted, I was probably 10 years old and easy to impress, but it sticks with me, nonetheless. Dad: When you're at a new restaurant, always order a hamburger. If a place can cook a really great burger, they can cook anything. Me: Wow, Dad. You're the best. Okay, so I put a bit of a "Leave it to Beaver" spin on this, but for the most part. It's true. (Although as a surly 10 year old, I probably said something clever like, "Eh, whatever.") While traveling to visit friends in the Cuyahoga Falls area, we decided to go see if all the "Oh, you have to visit Hudson!" talk was warranted. (Sidenote, it was! We loved Hudson at large.) So after shopping in some fairly cutesy stores with some really great personalities, we were getting hungry. A local shopowner suggested trying Flip Side, and said that at 11:20, it was probably early enough for us to get in and not wait. Thank you, shopkeep. We got the last table with no waiting. The decor was nondescript. It wasn't terrible by any stretch, but there's nothing exciting going on in here when it comes to decor. Not that it needed to be. See, I have this theory. While ambience absolutely *does* matter to me in a dining experience, some pretty beautiful restaurants I've visited have had pretty abysmal food. Alternatively, like Flip Side, the stars of this restaurant were the servers and the food. I'll just say it - the Flip Side burger with its cheese, bacon, and balsamic onions - was the best burger that I have ever had. Ever. Seriously. The burger was just cooked to perfection - it was slightly pink inside, but not so pink it made me wonder about picking up food cooties. Those balsamic onions were unique, different, and not overcooked - they weren't clear, and they weren't too crispy. They were just perfect. The bacon was thick, the cheese was too, and overall it was really good. The sweet potato fries - as they can often be - seemed a little heavy, and a little greasier than I would prefer, but I've come to believe that this may just be the nature of the beast. Our server was attentive, and while the place was packed, he still managed to pay close attention to our table and those around us. Flip Side was a really great lunch experience, but I would certainly suggest that you should probably plan on waiting unless you're there during off-peak times. read more

So I "cheated" on the Bspot at this Hudson burger joint. It can only be described as hooking up with a super model when you have a really hot wife. That's what I imagine since I have neither. You know what I do have? Tight pants after eating here. I stuffed myself with the blue cheese burger and sweet potato fries. The sweet potato fries were so good I would slap your mother if she tried to take one off my plate. Unless your mother is bigger than me.... The burgers were grass fed beef (soooo good) and everything was piping hot and fresh. My buddy's burger looked off the hook too. The service was great from start to finish. I'm going back to this place soon... read more

We decided to stop in on our way to Pittsburgh from Detroit, after using the TV Food Maps app. Since it was featured on Unique Eats, we figured it had to be good. Well we were not disappointed at all. We shared the Truffle fries, I had the featured Chili Pepper Burger and my fiancé had the Smokey Burger. The chili sauce was incredibly tasty and spicy - just the way I like it. I especially liked that the burgers did not fall apart after a few bites. It held together until the very end, even with multiple dips into the chili pepper sauce. I would definitely stop in again if I am ever near Hudson, OH. Yum! read more

Brought my mom in for a lunch date (we never get to do that)! The gal behind the bar was so nice. She even gave my mom a cup of hot water (she was cold because we were sitting at bar by the door) to warm up. Mom & I both ordered the turkey burger without a bun and split fries. I loved the turkey burger last time I was there and it was amazing. As a matter of fact...the lady to my left saw my burger and asked me how it was and I raved about it so much that she ordered it as well. The presentation of the food was great. The seasoning on the fries was perfect. The burger was even cooked to perfection (Some people over-cook turkey burgers) The ONLY bad part of the meal was the bones in both my mom's and my turkey burger. My mom didn't even finish hers and I am headed into the dentist today because the moment I chewed the bone I had a sharp pain in my tooth (and it is still there). Not sure why there would have been bone in our turkey burgers. I won't be ordering any burgers the next time I go (If I go back) Looks like my $28 lunch date is going to turn into several hundred dollars. :( 5 stars for our server 2 stars for the food. Ouch! read more

Great takeout service. There burgers are great and they do a good job of keeping things hot.

Shawn's Burger (grass fed beef, fried egg, lettuce, tomato, griddled onions and bacon on the side), cooked medium. Delicious. The truffle fries were also delicious. If you have the hunger for meat and potatoes, eating at this place is a no-brainer. Clean, good service, great burgers and fries. read more

And this is why you don't get a salad at a burger joint... Chicken chopped salad was just OK, but burgers coming out of the kitchen looked delicious. Cool place with decent bar. Will come back for a burger next time... stupid... stupid... stupid. read more

Good burgers (not just beef burgers either) with nice other options. I've been to similar places where the portions were so huge, you could not finish anything. Not like that here. You receive normal portions that are just enough. I have a blueberry shake, sweet potato fries, and the lamb burger. All was really good. I also tried the chips with blue cheese and buffalo dipping sauce and really liked those as well. The place has a full bar with a decent selection of micro-brews on tap. read more

I'm a big burger fan. Hell, I'm a big food fan as all my yelp friends know. These burgers are top of the line. I kid you not - best burgers I have had to date. I'm not going to lie I've tried three off the menu and I can't wait to try another one. I wish I could tell you my favorite - instead I'll tell you the three I've tried - Turkey Burger (I love sprouts and avocado!). One Red Door Burger ("The One That Started it All) the bacon/date aioli and brie cheese complete the burger. It changed my outlook on life. Lastly, the Black and Blue which is peppercorn crusted to give it a little something extra. Mac'n'cheese is a delicious blend of cheeses and you should probably get the truffle fries- but they are addictive (don't say I didn't warn you). There is something about grass fed beef that makes the juiciness and flavor profile unparalleled. They also have a great craft beer selection, a lot which are from the Cleveland area. I love going into restaurants and seeing pride in the city where they started. Makes me feel good! read more

FlipSide is a favorite of ours. The burgers are hands down the BEST I've ever had. They literally make my mouth happy. They're the kind of burgers where you take one bite and then sit there with your eyes closed just trying to savor every last atom of deliciousness for as long as possible. SO ...... GOOD!! They are made with grass-fed beef, which has so much flavor it's ridiculous. The triple cooked fries are amazing, the specialty beers and milkshakes are divine, and even the salad is phenomenal. I usually get the Black and Blue burger, which is crusted with peppercorns and topped with a large dollop of chunky blue cheese ... Yum! My husband gets something different every time. Last time it was the Shawn Burger I believe, the one that's topped with a sunny side up egg. He loved it and it looked so good - the egg yolk was hot but still runny enough to drizzle over the grass fed beef in every bite. I might get that next time, but I do love my Black and Blue burger, so I don't know. Tough call. The place is always packed during prime hours, so try to go a little before or after lunch/dinner hours to avoid a long wait. It's so worth the wait though. Love it! We will go back again and again and again! read more

Being a vegetarian I am only able to evaluate my experience based on The Inverted Veggie Burger that comes with avocado, sprouts, arugula, vinaigrette served between two chickpea patties. Overall the food was okay, nothing crazy, an average meal. On the service side I was disappointed in that the server seemed to want to get us in and out as quickly as possible (which could be due to the fact that the restaurant itself is small.) I almost felt that I was in a fast food restaurant (get you in and get you out) except for the fact that we were sitting at a table and had a waiter. Bottom line, the food was okay, service could have been way better and for the price I feel there are other options. read more

This is the first time I was here. We went there on a Sunday afternoon for an early dinner. We got a table right away and was served promptly. The staff was really nice and the place was small and cozy. They have a full bar and the tables are tall with tall chairs (if you drink too much, it's a farther fall). I ordered a Philly hamburger with fries covered with cheese. The hamburger was topped with green peppers and onions. The green peppers are actually black (well done) but it tasted good. I think the cheese on the fries is macaroni and cheese cheese, without the macaroni. They tasted good and they give you a large amount so the dinner was very filling. I asked for a Blue Moon beer which they didn't have but they did have a wheat beer similar to it. Never had this beer, Troegs Dream Weaver (good song). It tasted similar to Blue Moon. Not to be disappointed, I stopped at Costco after we left the restaurant and bought a whole case of Blue Moon. I can drink it at home. Very good restaurant and I'd like to go back if they let me back in. The area where the restaurant is located is really nice. Nice place to walk around, shop, eat, and loiter. read more

Awesome food, great service and nice selection of beers on tap. The milkshakes are a must and so are the sweet potato fries!!!

This was a tough one. My food was great but my wife's food was terrible. I tried her food. The special fries were limp. The waitress was super rude and wouldn't let my wife get a word in about how bad the food was. read more

My wife and I stopped in on a Monday afternoon for an early dinner. Small pub tucked in on Hudson Square. Not much to say about the decor. Can imagine it would be fairly loud during a busy time. In summary, not worth it! Nothing special about the food, drinks or atmosphere. But if you want some details, see below. Ordered the basic burger, the Flip Side burger, and an order of sweet potato fries. Both burgers came out with lettuce, tomato and pickles that looked like they had seen much better days. Both burgers were OK, but not worth the price ($7 & $9). That is for just the burgers. I guess this approach is more common considering B-Spot and other joints, but these for sure were not worth it. The sweet potato fries were also just alright, but nothing special. Especially at $4.50 for a plate of fries. Was going to have few beverages but at $7/8 for a pint of something I can find anywhere else for almost half that , I had to pass. As I said, these are not exotic craft beers that are hard to find these days. Finally, the service was less than stellar. It is difficult to say, but it appeared that there was more than just the bartender there, though he was the only one we could tell doing anything. We waited 20 minutes for a check while several other employees seemed to be chatting it up at the back of the bar. Guy in a button down (manager possibly) walked through several times and paid no attention to us while the bartender was busy taking stock with his back to us. Just seems better attention to one of only two tables in the joint with customers could have taken place. read more

Really "flipping" (wocka wocka) back and forth from 3 to 4 star. Never quite sure whether to compare places like this to burger joints or gourmet burger joints. The meat was very good, and the variety of toppings excellent. Not the best gourmet burger I have had, but it's not bad. It is defiantly above average for burger joints. The beer selection is very good with a splattering of seasonal. The main negative of Flipside is the seating. Not a lot of it, and cramped. So a 3 on gourmet burgers, 4 on regular burgers, and a 2 on seating. Beer being the ultimate tie break... 4 star it is. read more
