    The bar! - The image shows the interior of a restaurant or bar with several patrons seated at tables and the bar area. Multiple television screens are mounted on the walls displaying various content. The decor includes wood flooring, a white pillar with security cameras, and a ceiling with exposed ductwork. The setting appears lively and modern, with a mix of seated customers and some standing near the bar.

    A great neighborhood pub with a warm, welcoming staff and tasty food. It was busy on a Friday evening, so seating took a few minutes, but nothing unreasonable. I had the Greek salad, which was fresh and flavorful, while my wife had the haddock tacos--good overall, though the coleslaw could've been toned down a bit to let the fish shine. She ordered truffle fries on the side, which had great flavor but could've been a little crispier. Overall, a solid spot we'd come back to.

    The image shows a black table with two plates of food. The top plate contains three tacos topped with shredded cheese, served with French fries, ketchup, and sour cream. The bottom plate features a salad with chopped grilled chicken, cherry tomatoes, crumbled cheese, and a side of creamy dressing in a small cup. There are utensils wrapped in a napkin, a glass of water, and condiments on the table, indicating a casual dining setting.

    I had such a great lunch experience today at Friendly Red Tavern in Hudson! The service was excellent. Our server was friendly and attentive, and the food came out surprisingly fast. I ordered the grilled chicken salad, which was fresh and flavorful, and my friend had the chicken tacos with side of fries which she loved. I also tried a strawberry spritzer mock-tail that was light, refreshing, and perfect for the beautiful day. We sat in a shaded part of the outdoor patio where there was plenty of seating, and it made for such a relaxing lunch. The only downside was that while we were sitting outside, the landscaper was mowing and weeding right around the patio and at times my friend and I had trouble hearing each other over the noise. It would make more sense to do landscaping before the restaurant opens at 11 AM rather than during lunchtime hours. Other than that, everything else was wonderful, great food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. I'd definitely come back again!

A crumpled receipt is held by a hand, showing order details including Cajun rice bowl, black beans, and other items, with an order due time of 5:21 PM. The setting appears to be a casual dining or takeout environment.

    The food is good, for a quick meal and the prices are reasonable. I wouldn't go there all the time but for a dessert it's really good.

    The sandwich had a crispy breaded fried piece of haddock & Red's coleslaw (vinegar base) on a thick soft roll.

    Wow. Came here last night and just have to write a review…read more I have been drinking and preparing kava for a few years. Always wanted to go to a kava bar, but the east coast never really had this. Last night the stars aligned. We came in not knowing what to expect. We were warmly greeted by Olivia (kava-tender), who explained the menu and brought us a small shell of kava to try. The Polynesian mule is mind-blowingly good. It was so good, we did 2 rounds of this. Definitely will be back to try more drinks. The live music was also amazing. Very talented musician-- played a lot of Grateful Dead, and even Alice's Restaurant. The vibe is very chill, while also warm and welcoming. For context: I am a non-drinker of alcohol, and despise bars/being around loud drunk people. This is a totally different experience, in the very best ways.

    Tucked away in a plaza next to a laundromat is Root Awakening. It looks like a coffee shop/ lounge…read morevery relaxing. The owners husband and wife are very nice and knowledgeable on Kava when they speak you can feel the passion that they have for not only their business but for their beverages. I had the traditional Kava bowl, it's earthy and served on a shell ( maybe coconut) with a small wedge Of pineapple as a chaser, I also tried a lavender tea it was very good you can definitely taste the lavender. This place is a must try in my opinion the ambience, the beverages , the people all make me want to go back.

    Stella Blu - I can't speak highly enough about the fries. Cooked to order, crispy and delicious. Nothing soggy here!

We've been there a couple times before though and I should have known to make reservations. We ended up sitting at the bar where the bartenders were great. The drinks are outstanding here! I decided to get an Old Fashioned with Buffalo Trace and Mike makes a phenomenal old fashioned! I had 3 of them which I usually don't do. I was also impressed with his knowledge of bourbon and his attention to detail. My wife had an espresso martini which is so good here. For food, we started with chicken lemongrass dumplings, Brussels sprouts, and Parmesan truffle fries, which were all delicious! Dumplings were perfect sharing size and light. I then got the grilled cheese with bacon which was such a great recommendation from the stella staff and my wife got the orchard salad with grilled chicken. We were both extremely satisfied. We went with the donuts for dessert which were excellent. Melissa made my wife a Ben's Banana martini (had the perfect amount of caramel) and she was obsessed! It's definitely going to be a regular spot for us! Highly recommend!

On a Saturday evening mid October we stopped in hoping for a table but the place was busy so we weren't sure what the wait would be. We walked in and the hostess immediately from the start, before we had a chance to say one word, was snarky, rude and very unpleasant. No hello. No welcome. No smile. Nothing. She asks if we had a reservation, I told her unfortunately we didn't. Her immediate response was to say they didn't have anything and wouldn't for the rest of the night and even if the reservation app says there's a table she wouldn't be accepting it and seating us it in an irritated tone. So ok, was that last part necessary?! How rude. I was shocked and said "really?! Wow. That's how you are choosing to respond?" To which her reply was to say with an attitude and not bothering to even look up or back at the bar, "well you can sit at the bar if you want but you won't find anything." At this point I was disgusted and totally turned off from this place so we left. I sent a message via the website to management, but never received a response. We won't be back. Won't be recommending the place to anyone. What a shame. Will happily be spending our money and time elsewhere.

    Don't get me wrong, I like this place. The bartender was great, and the drinks and beers were…read moregood. The atmosphere is always ok. The problem that I have is with their Reuben sandwich. I'm sorry, but this is the saddest Reuben I have ever seen. The bread is dry (possibly stale), and the Reuben is made out of pastrami, not corned beef - but that isn't necessarily the bad part. I didn't see the sandwich being prepared, but I bet I can tell you their process: toast some bread, no butter, just dry. Now take some pastrami out of the cooler and put it on the bread. Now run that through a toaster oven/salamander oven to heat it (this dries the meat and curls it up), then add some sauerkraut (which had zero flavor) and top it with some form of Thousand Island dressing (again, no flavor). Now, toss that top piece of bread on the sandwich, put it on a plate, and send it out to the customer. If you are expecting a NY Deli-style Reuben sandwich, you are in for a letdown. The Ruben should be served with bread that has been liberally buttered and then cooked in a frying pan (preferably cast iron), which gives the bread a nice crunch. That hot, crunchy bread is now a delicious outer layer to the juicy, tasty corned beef with tangy sauerkraut and fresh Russian or Thousand Island dressing. That's not what you'll get at this place - so move on to something else on the menu. And, almost forgot: no cheese! A Reuben should have Swiss cheese. If you are going to deviate so much from what a Reuben should be, don't call it "Ped's Reuben," call it "Ped's Dry Meat Sandwich on Dry Toasted Bread" - because it ain't a Reuben. Hey Peddler's: you're better than this - try harder, because your Reuben kinda sucks. My wife always gets the fish and chips. She is particular when we go out to eat, but she always likes your fish and chips. So overall: I like this place... but the Reuben... don't order it if you really know what a Reuben can/should be - you will be disappointed. It's a throwback, but the best Reuben sandwich I've had outside of NYC was back in the 1990's at a place called the Dili Dali Deli on Rt 38 in Tewksbury, MA (just about in Lowell). That place was great! Wherever those people who ran that place are today, you should know that I judge all Reubens based on your version of this classic sandwich. So far, no one has come close to the quality you prepared at that little deli, which typically had a counter 3-4 people deep at lunchtime - and you cranked out SO MUCH DELICIOUS FOOD, all with smiles on your faces! You guys were the best!

    Definitely a favorite! Grab a Guinness, have some authentic Irish food and enjoy the friendly…read morestaff! They're always quick with a joke and make us laugh every time. Fun and laid back, we love it here!

It is such a cute establishment and it was Busy at the bar. They have a lot of good beer options you can select for your beer flight. The beer flights you choose from is a 4oz pour. The flights is 4 beers. They neatly write up all the beers on the chalkboard. He also have karaoke! We got the white chocolate, cider, donut, Magic, sour apple. Sour apple and the cider donut was delicious for my taste buds personally but they all are good. It was so fun to try and taste with my family. The food was exceptional and everything came out very fast. The Caesar salad was huge and it comes with fried chicken or grilled chicken. The new honey chicken wrap was exceptional. I loved all the layers of flavor inside this wrap. It comes with a side of sweet potatoes and salad. You could use your dressing from Italian or ranch and balsamic. No let me tell you about the PBJ burger, it was different and the finish was sweet but it's delicious and it didn't clash at all. The wings were very tasty and the fries were also seasoned well. Parking is free and open. Let me get started on this pretzel flight. Absolutely delicious. 4 long pretzels, well and salt perfectly. Three sides of sauce and one cheese and I forgot the third. Highly recommend however 10/10
