Really delicious food and great atmosphere. Don't leave without getting a milkshake for dessert!

It's usually best to order items a restaurant is "known for". That being said, I wasn't in the mood for a burger. Unfortunately, the tempura asparagus and mushroom appetizer I ordered was super duper greasy, and the dipping sauce tasted like fish sauce. The mac and cheese tasted like béchamel (a lot of nutmeg flavor, although the server argued that there was none in it... whatever). Either way, it had zero cheese flavor- all béchamel, not that béchamel is terrible, it's just not the predominant flavor I want on macaroni and cheese, especially when it's bathed in it, and not baked. Not a place I will go back to. I did meet a nice lady and her gentleman friend though... read more

First time at flip side I've lived in hudson for 13 years wasn't impressed . Horrible cocktails to strong no wonder at 1pm on week day there were so many men in the restaurant . The staff took the drink of my bill which was very understanding. I tried 2 other cocktails that was with me and they also way to strong and to much sour mix . The food was good but I also on the expensive side . Most likely won't return the place is more of a gentleman's restaurant not for family in my book . Liked the decor and staff was friendly . read more

The burgers looked delicious but I went with their hot and spicy chicken sandwich. It had a nice super crunchy coating and flavorful, not too hot flavor. It was really good. Ok next time I will try one of their burgers. read more

The Green Eggs and Ham burger is amazing!!!!!! The service is good and there is a bartender who is absolutely amazing and very friendly. They offer a variety of craft beers (jackpot!!!) and the bartender was very knowledgeable about the beers. In the profile, they say that the restaurant is kid friendly, I do not think that a child would enjoy the seating that is available, and the place is small, loud, and features a bar. I personally would not bring my child here to eat. I would order out and go a nearby park, weather permitting. read more

Very expensive around $12 for burger and $4.50 for fries and tip and it almost $20. The burger tasted good but the fries were a small portion and size of fries was was ridiculous it seemed they just took what was left in container. Nope I will not be back read more

They are known for their burgers, however I don't know why. Don't get me wrong the burgers are average but nothing more. They are overpriced for what you get (including quality). Service is fairly good though. read more

Well, here I am back to my reviews. And just a reminder, I rate restaurants relative to their competitors, so a 5 Star burger joint isn't necessarily the same 5 stars as a gourmet restaurant. Just is hard to compare such different cuisines on an even playing field. So back to business, I went to Flip Side without really knowing anything about it other than it was the sister restaurant to One Red Door. (Haven't been there yet but it is on my list.) Unfortunately, I wasn't expecting to get back into writing my Yelp reviews so I can't really comment on what I thought about the decor as I wasn't in my observant mode. I do recall there being a good amount of exposed brick, which I think fit well. But since I didn't take note of my surroundings as I should have on to the food.......(that's why you people read this anyway isn't it?) The first thing I noticed was that as a craft beer fan, they had a nice beer selection. Points for that. But I skipped the beer and went right to the milkshakes. They have a number of interesting sounding milkshakes, some which you can get with liquor in them, one of which with Guinness. It seemed to be copied off of B Spot in this regard but the shakes at B Spot kick ass so who cares if they are copying a good thing, right? I ordered the Apple Pie shake. which was basically an apple pie blended into a shake with vanilla ice cream. Now I happen to be in love with the Apple Pie Maple Bacon Milkshake at B Spot, and as a result that is the standard from which all other apple pie related milkshakes will be judged. So this Flip Side shake was probably a grade of a B. You could definitely taste all the parts of the apple pie but how can you compete with a shake that has bacon in it? I mean bacon makes, EVERYTHING better, don't believe me? Try it in anything and you'll agree I promise. On to the burger. I ordered Shawn's Burger, which is pretty much your run of the mill burger plus fried egg. I didn't want to get anything too crazy so I could judge it against B Spot solely on the burger basics. When the burger arrived the top half of the bun was off and the lettuce tomato etc were off to the side so that you can build the burger the way you like. To me this is ideal, nothing worse than getting a pre-assembled burger and trying to add toppings or condiments and have the cheese get everywhere but on your burger. So first bite into the burger.....I was sold. I need to come back at least one more time to confirm but I feel very confident that Flip Side's burgers will blow away B Spot every time. Why, you ask? If you have never had Grass fed beef, the different in flavor and juiciness between grass fed and grain fed is unbelievable. Now I'm not sure what B Spot uses but I'm fairly certain it isn't grass fed beef and to me it makes the burger. Granted it isn't for everyone, a result of the juiciness is a messy burger, but it is a delicious messy one at that and I'll deal with the added mess every time. As far as the service goes, I felt it was fine, nothing to write home about nothing to complain about. But either way, I always prefer to give the benefit of the doubt, as it is never fair to judge service over one visit. Overall I'd highly recommend Flip Side, and I'd even recommend B Spot if you haven't been for so you can make your own comparison. read more

Incredibly disappointed with this place! It was like anticipating an amazing sexual experience with someone only to have it be the worst sex you've ever had. So bad in fact that you are too embarrassed to share it with your best friend. I've had equal quality food at my local McDonald's and our server( I'll refer to her as Kail for short) counted have been ruder! My husband ordered the" tempura shitake mush & as" as a starter, although he enjoyed his veggies; the tempura crunches were the only thing I enjoyed about this meal. Our waitress however, apparently didn't think I was worthy of picking off of his plate because she grabbed it while my hands were on it & picked it up & away while I was still eating. I ordered the truffle fries, they tasted like they were frozen and reheated. You could smell small hints of the truffle oil but tasting it wasn't an option. Even the grated cheese was flavorless. I ended up throwing them out, $6.00 for fries that tasted worse than eating a bag of frozen fries out of the dryer down the drain :( I also ordered their mac & cheese with BBQ brisket. The noodles had little to no flavorless cheese on them and were over powered by the seasoning (possibly oregano or parsley) . Now there's al dente & then there's undercooked; mine were sooo undercooked I might as well have eaten them out of the box . The brisket wasn't any better, it was dry and flavorless as well. You couldn't even taste a small drop of BBQ sauce. I had my husband try it and he agreed that it was bad...possibly due to the large amount of disgusting grease hidden under the noodles. I wanted to send the fries back but our waitress never gave me the opportunity. We also split the date shake- just vanilla ice cream & chopped up dates; for $5.50 I expected way more. Again, flavorless!!! It was really lacking & could've used some cinnamon, honey or even some chocolate to give it some wow factor but nope. Out waitress on the other hand was easily the worst part of the meal (Kail)! She was inattentive, very obviously annoyed and cut you off before you could say anything. Either by walking away or ignoring you. She often turned her back before you could ask or comment on anything and quickly walk away. I could throw the word unsanitary in there as well to describe this young blond brat. The reason being that I ordered their ginger beer (the worst I've ever had!) and had it sitting to my side next to the wall. She reached over all of the food without even asking if I was finished with my drink and grabbed it from the mouth of the bottle & was taking it away before she realized it wasn't empty. Thankfully, the majority of it had been poured into a glass that was garnished with none other than an very old wedge of lime. Then Kail brought us our bill and when I opened the little black book it comes it there were two bills- one for us & one for another table that wasn't even hers (Ryan's was the servers name on this check). When she went to take it I tried to tell her that another persons bill was in the booklet but she turned her back on me and walked away- never apologizing or saying anything at all. She wasn't worth the generous tip my husband gave her- a complete b**ch! Again, have no idea what all the hype was about . If you want amazing truffle fries, Darby's on 59 has the best!!! And their servers aren't spoiled little girls but polite adults- just saying. read more

OMG!!!!! Delicious!! I have serious food allergies: soy, canola and no gluten!! They were able to accommodate me and serve us up some pretty awesome sweet potato and potato fries, fried in good old fashioned lard!! They were the most incredible things I've ever crunched into. No kidding. Unreal!!! The burger was delicious, the lettuce was great. You can absolutely tell the difference between grain fed and grass fed. I love that Flipside cares so much about not only doing good farm to table, but doing great farm to table!!! They use 100% certified olive oil in their salad dressings, not sure if most people realize this but just about every restaurant uses a soy or canola blend in their dressings. This is rare and to make sure that it's certified is even more rare!! They seemed to understand about the contamination problems with olive oils from Italy and Greece and went the extra step to make sure that they are using only the best. I'm sorry folks that complain about prices, but if you want to eat at quality restaurant and actually get real organic food and not soy substitutes you have to pay a little extra. The amount they are charging is nominal. I guarantee that you could eat at this restaurant, eliminate all other processed foods from your diet and you'd lose weight! The only reason people are fat is all the food additives. You won't get fat eating real food!!! Okay, not sure what anyone is talking about bad service, but we were here during off hours around 2:30 on a Monday. The server and the manager were both sweethearts and incredibly accommodating. Having these allergies has forced me to be aware of and to understand everything that most restaurants are putting in their food. I can tell you, this much, any restaurant that serves food of this quality is packed and you will wait if you go at a busy time. If you don't want to wait and you don't care about quality, check out some of the other restaurants nearby, you can waddle right on in! Next time I'm in town, I'm hitting the sister restaurant! read more

My wife and I came in here this past wknd and will never go back. We were seated quickly as the place was full but no wait. We were not greeted by our server for at least 15 minutes at which point he awkwardly asked us if we wanted waters or a menu. Thinking the service at the bar would be quicker we snagged 2 stools as they opened, only to be even more disappointed. After waiting 5 minutes the bartender/manager came over to clean and wipe the bar down without so much as even acknowledging our presence let alone say hello. He then proceeded to answer a phone call prior to greeting us. It was at this point we left the restaurant and decided we will not be returning to this location. Hudson has plenty of good restaurants and service of this caliber should simply not be tolerated. read more

When you first walk into this establishment, do not expect to be greeted. The "hostess" will eventually emerge from the back and sign you in on a tablet. You will get a text when your table is ready. Cannot comment on the food. We never got seated. We were told 20-30 minutes. At 45 min we left. Got a text 15 min later to say we were "on deck". Place only has 8 tables and seating at the bar. Don't expect to get seated with any party over 4. Not likely to return. Snobish attitude all around. read more

Arrived @ 6:45 on a Friday night, so I was anticipating a wait. 45 minutes seemed a little extreme for a burger joint but it wasn't an issue as the weather was accommodating. My wife and I went next door for a drink at the One Red Door bar. We received a text indicating our table was ready. When I put our name on the wait list, the hostess indicated that once we received our text, we should give it 8 minutes so that they could prepare the table. Again, no problem. We waited about 10 minutes before heading back to Flip Side. When we entered I flagged down the hostess and gave her my name. Her response, "Oh, I am sorry, I prematurely texted you. Your table is not ready; it will be about 10 minutes." Okay, not a huge deal except there were 3-4 open tables. When I asked her about each open table, she replied they were reserved. Hmm, wasn't that what I did 50 minutes earlier? Okay, so we were seated. We were then greeted by a less then enthusiastic waitress that promptly took our drink order. When she returned to take our burger order I asked if we had a choice on how they were cooked. I am a medium-rare, tending towards rare. She explained that all of the burgers were cooked medium to well. Again, no worries. Medium was fine and much to my dismay, my wife prefers well done so we should be okay. We received our burgers @ 15 minutes later. My burger was interesting. One side was rare and the other well done. How do you accomplish that? My wife's was medium rare leaning towards rare. Okay, the waitress must have switched the "done" request. When my wife alerted the waitress (after one bite) that her burger was rare and she wanted another one, the waitress incredulously responded, "You want another burger?!". Uh yea! For $10 a burger I damn sure want another burger. What was she suggesting, they microwave what was on her plate? When they finally brought out her burger (I had been done for 10 minutes now) the replacement was well done....and also 1/3 the size of the original. So either they said, screw this couple we are not giving them a full size replacement or their only way of serving a well done burger fast was to make it a fraction of the normal size. Long story long, for $40 I can make two 2" steaks and have a bottle of wine at home. We will never return. No apology from the waitress or manager or an offer to provide the burger at no -charge. Penny wise dollar foolish. You got your money for one night but lost potential business for life. read more

Hands down THE BEST BURGER i've ever had in my 55+yr's here on planet earth! The chips & fries are quite tasty as well.

Wow, solid burgers! I got the Flipside burger and my date ordered the Green Eggs and Ham burger. Awesome! And grass fed beef is the way to go for a high quality burger. You WILL taste the difference! We shared the fries which were seasoned and fried goodness. This place gets packed. On a Friday night we got lucky and scored 2 seats at the bar and ate there. Otherwise the wait at 6 pm was already 45 minutes. Great beer list. Cool, rustic interior. Expect long wait times on a weekend...the place isn't that big. read more

Flip Side will forever be one of my favorite burger places. It's second to this place I found in Montana. Any of the burgers simply melt in your mouth. Their Mac n cheese is some of the best I've tasted, and if anyone knows me at all, I am a huge critic when it comes to cheese dishes. read more

Excellent burgers and sweet potato fries, by far my favorite restaurant! Customer service is awesome as well. Shelby's service is unmatched. She is always in a great mood and definitely gives each customer a personal feel! read more

I have been to FlipSide before and the food is excellent. I just wanted to tell you about our experience the other when we were treated very badly. Wednesday 2/29. We had patiently waited nearly 45 minutes for a table and when we were one of only two parties still waiting for a table and knew we were ahead of the other party standing near us, we questioned the hostess as to why we couldn't be seated at the empty table, she said that one other party was ahead of us. Well where were they? The 'other party' was nowhere to seen! We waited another 5 minutes or so and by now the hostess was avoiding us, but still nobody from the other party showed up. Any reasonable person would have allowed us to sit down and would have had the other party wait for the next table AFTER they'd arrived. We wait several more minutes. Still nobody was coming for the empty table. Finally, at least ten minutes after the table became available; ONE PERSON showed up from the other party and was promptly seated. The rest of her party who, judging from the shopping bags brought in by the girl who was seated, were apparently still shopping. We couldn't believe they would keep us waiting like that. This place does not take reservations or 'call ahead' so there was no reason to hold the table for people who were not even there. The other party could easily have taken the next table once they showed up. This is how any other restaurant would have handled it. Or I could understand if the other party was a minute or two away, but there was no sign of them for several minutes! The hostess, who up to this point, had been standing with us near the front entrance, made herself very scarce to avoid our questioning. We strongly suspect that the hostess knew the 'other party' as was purposely holding the table for her friends. When my husband talked to the manager about this, she had no apology. Just said someone else was ahead of us - no explanation as to why they would not seat us and give the absent party the next table. We were very dissatisfied with the service. read more

Was excited to try this place when I saw the menu but it was nothing special at all! I got the inverted burger and I thought it was a joke when they set the plate in front of me because it was the size of a mini slider. How in the hell can they charge 10 dollars for this when it doesn't even come with a side?! Then my husband order a burger med rare and this burger was rare all right I'm talking meat not even COOKED! They are just a bit to pricey for the food and service you get here! Don't see myself returning. read more

Great burgers. Fries quite soggy, though. Friendly service. Cool spot. It's in a cool little area a few miles off 80. Definitely check it out if you're on a drive. read more

Best burgers in town!! I am mad it took me so long to find this place!! I will defiantly be back!!

Recently went to Flipside in Hudson !! Enjoyed the atmosphere, sat at the bar , excellent selections of beers and wines and the food was fabulous !! Burgers were excellent made with grass fed beef !!- Enjoyed the service !! My guest and myself had a great time !! Special thanks to Michael and Nate at the bar !! Highly recommend the place !! Thanks DR MD read more

Food was awesome, service was awesome. Giving 3 stars because they let a small purse dog out of its cage that a customer brought in, and the waitstaff and bartenders all played, petted and were licked by it. Which I have no problem with, I am a huge dog lover. But after playing with the puppy they proceeded to pick up and prep plates of food then deliver them to customers (GROSS). My husband and I had to point this out to the manager before anyone washed their hands. read more

Love the variety of burgers and drinks. Great atmosphere to just hang out. I recommend this place to all.

First time having a fried egg on my burger. It was very good. I recommend getting Shawn's burger. I had the regular fries which were decent. Cool place to hang out and get some burgers and beers. read more

Now this is a burger. Try the fries with brisket they melt in your mouth. Love going and the food and drinks makes the wait worth it every time. Sit at the bar and you'll get a good feel for the place. read more

Best burger of my life! Tried the pepper burger and it was perfect...fries are amazing as well as beer and staff! Def a must wait and try!

Best Place for burgers! Burgers are always cook correctly food is always consistently good and a decent selection of beers!!! If I lived closer I wouldn't go any where else for a burger!!! read more

I ordered the Chili Pepper Burger and a nitro milk stout to go with it. Both were excellent. The options for burgers are quite interesting and they have plenty of different beers on tap and bottles as well as wine. Service was very friendly and the establishment has a nice antiquated feel. read more

So I it's time to bring the big guns out when you want a good burger!!!! Fresh as heck like they slay the meat in the back kind of fresh with great choices and options of burgers. Different is a good word for some of these burgers.. Perfect for a date bc it's hopping always!! Rain or shine flip side has it going on with whatever food you try or one of their many craft beers on tap. With the atmosphere you are transported to another city, state, or even country with the rustic modern vibe they cooked up for you! Bon apatite and salud! read more

Went here for the first time last week and I didn't get food and just went to the bar for a couple drinks, and I'm personally not a beer person, but if you are looking for a good beer in tap and you don't like beer, their raspberry ale on tap was to die for!!! Would recommend!!!! The bar tender there was really nice and helpful! read more

My four star rating for this place is strictly based on the food because if I took the service in to consideration, I would give it one star. I have been to the flip side twice. The first time the service was terrible, but the food was great so we decided to give it another try only to get terrible service again. So terrible that the waitress brought my husband a beer and told him it was free because she had given us bad service. The table next to us were her friends so she spent the entire night chatting it up with her friends. Although nice of her tom give us a free beer, I would have preferred good service. They have a very strange set up with the servers. They have people behind the bar, that take care of the people sitting at the bar but they also wait on the tables in the dining room. No wonder the service has been terrible! The decor is very cool. I was surprised about how small the place actually is but it works. The bar is very big and they have a great beer selection. Let's talk about the food! I had the seared ahi sandwich both times. It was so delicious the first time that I didn't even want to try something else. It's a good size piece of seared ahi served on a bun and topped with a radish slaw that is absolutely amazing.. This slaw and the dressing makes this dish. The second time I ordered this I asked for extra slaw. I could eat a bowl of it..soooo good! My husband had a black and blue burger. It's a peppercorn crusted burger with bleu cheese and port braised onions. It was very good. We have tried the regular 3x fried fries with sea salt and herbs as well as the Mikey fries with truffle oil and cheese. Both were very good. My only complaint is the the fries are very small (not the size of the dish, but the actual fries), they are really short and kinda looks like you got whatever was at the bottom of the basket. Just wish they were a little bit longer. Although the Mikey fries were also good, i wouldn't spend the extra three bucks and will stick to the sea salt fries next time. They are good but nothing really special. Overall i would say the food here is delicious but they really need to work on their service. They also need to educate their staff a little more. When you drive up to the place the first thing you see are giant letters on their window advertising local grass fed beef. Both times i have been there I asked our server what farm their beef comes from and they have no idea. I realize that is not a question most diners would ask, but every article I have read about one red door, the flip side and downtown 140 ( same owners) boasts about how this chef uses local ingredients and buys responsibly. This is one of the reasons why I was drawn to these restaurants, because they support local farms. I would think that's one of the first things you would educate your staff on..... Just sayin... Will I return? Only because I am addicted to the ahi sandwich. Hopefully their service will get better. read more

Had a very good hamburger (Shawn Burger) and fries last week. Asked the waiter for a good beer pairing and was pleased with outcome. Will return again. Cool decor inside. High top tables only, so can be tricky to bring small children. read more

Food was really good but the service was shaky - waitress had an attitude and other employees were aloof. Liked the atmosphere. Beer was overpriced. $8 for a draft is a bit offensive. read more

My daughter and I were looking for a place to eat dinner. We both had the Flipside burgers and they were cooked to order and flavorful. Service was good and friendly and prices were reasonable. We will visit here again sometime. read more

My wife and I were excited to try this place after looking at the menu. First thought that comes to your mind when you walk in is, wow is it small in here. Our server was really nice and very attentive. I ordered the brisket mac n cheese, not very cheesy really liquidy and not much flavor. I also ordered the French flip burger, the burger and the braised beef was excellent. I just wish the bun was able to handle the juices. The bottom bun was completely soggy, maybe they should have let the meat rest for a minute. My wife ordered the chicken sandy sandwich she thought was good but she didn't like the bun. Both sandwiches came with lettuce, tomato and pickle on the side, the only problem was the lettuce was a little wilted and the tomato looked old. We also tried the inverted veggie burger. Awsome idea to have a veggie option just poor execution. No flavor. Maybe next time we will have a better experience. read more

See all

When we walked in no one greeted us right away and then we were out on a wait list. After about 20 minutes our table was ready. Extremely loud atmosphere. No way you would be able to carry on a casual conversation. Service was pretty awful. Waited forever, server was not attentive to our needs at all. My husband and I both had burgers and we split an order of the truffle fries. The food was delicious! Unfortunately due to the poor service and loud environment we would not recommend this place. read more

Took my cheeseburger-loving toddlers for a lunch date after spending a few hours at the library across the street. Our server didn't seem to be incredibly knowledgable off-hand about the allergens (egg and peanut) that we needed to avoid, which was fine. I'm not sure if there are alternatives to the brioche bun, but if so we weren't offered one (also, fine). I only say this, because maybe the bun makes the burger. My review is based entirely on a no-frills cheeseburger without a bun. I had high expectations as this place came recommended when we moved to the area, but it was simply average in my opinion. I'll likely visit again if someone else suggests it and probably order something a bit more interesting on the menu. The french fries were delicious! In fact, our children ate more fries than burger, which is unusual. read more

What a huge disappointment. Joined the online wait list which said there were only 6 parties ahead of us. The Yelp app told me we had to check in by a certain time and we made sure to get there 5 minutes ahead. I tried to check in with the snotty hostess and first she tried to say we're weren't on the list. When i pointed to my name she said ok fine but the wait is two hours. I asked how that is possible if there were only 6 parties ahead of us. She said people that had been waiting there before so they had to be seated first before the online wait list. How many wait lists does this place have? Idiotic. I asked if the app was lying to me and there weren't really only 6 parties ahead of us. She said yes but those 6 tables had to sit and ~finish eating~ before they could seat us. LOL WHAT. She's like oh you are welcome to wait! I said if you are telling us the wait is 2 hours you are telling us to leave. I'm not a fool. Dude OK if the online wait list isn't legit, get rid of it. That's bullshit. Manager might want to know they are basically turning business away that the door. Fortunately, the place is surrounded by other restaurants with nice staff happy to take our money. Shout out to you, Aladdin's! read more

Yummo! Great fried egg topped burgers and the best sweet potatoes fries I've ever had! Good beer selection and I've seen plenty of milkshakes ordered. My husband actually craves these burgers and he is not a fancy burger guy! read more
