For the life of me, I cannot understand why people love this place. Granted, I haven't ordered everything on the menu, so maybe I'm missing something?
I first heard about this place because friends of mine were getting their breakfast burritos every morning. I finally decided one day that I had to give this place a try. I ordered a breakfast burrito with sausage and an order of hash browns and a cherry limeade to wash it down.
First complaint - the food takes a long time! Everytime I've gone, the dining area is empty, but the drive thru is full. My thinking was, go into the restaurant and save time. There wasn't a line at all. Yet, my food took FOREVER.
Second complaint - so the food finally comes out. I unwrap my burrito, which came with salsa. Now, rather than dip the burrito into the salsa right away, I decided to taste it au natural. It was SO BLAND! The tortilla was tasteless, the eggs were tasteless, and where was the sausage?? Are these little brown bits supposed to be sausage? Good Lord, talk about skimping on the meat! They pretty much HAVE to give you salsa to pour on this burrito cause it doesn't have any flavor what so ever without it.
Third complaint - the hash browns were DRENCHED in oil. Do they know HOW to cook hash browns?? You lightly drizzle oil on the shredded potatoes and fry them on the griddle or pan. They apparently just drop shredded potatoes directly into oil and deep fry them. And when they spoon them out, they don't drain the oil, half of it ends up in the bowl with the hash browns! Its gross!! Potatoes swimming in oil!
The only high point of this meal was the cherry limeade, which is ten times better than the one at Sonic. They use a bunch of syrup so it's extra sweet.
I haven't been to Hud's in months. If I go out for breakfast, I now to go McDonalds. Don't laugh, I realize I'm comparing fast food to an actual restaurant. Micky D's sausage burrito is $1 and it TASTES so much better than Hud's. The eggs are gooey with cheese and its got plenty of meat! The hash browns are 2 for a dollar and they are crisp and not drowning in grease. If I had the time, I'd stop at Hud's first to grab a cherry limeade, then go to McDonald's and grab the food. That would be awesome.
Pros: cherry limeades
Cons: burritos are terribly BLAND and they skimp on the meat! hash browns are basically a bowl of grease with bits of shredded potatoes; food takes awhile read more
