My sister and I came here for some delicious seafood and were not disappointed. We started off with the watermelon basil crush because it's Wednesday. ‍ it was tasty and refreshing with plenty of booze. Hooray! Sis ordered the salmon and I ordered the paella both gluten free options on a well marked menu. The salmon was melt in your mouth amazing especially with the caper sauce. The paella was delish with perfectly cooked scallops, shrimp and clams (mussels? Idk they come in shells.) suffice it to say, very little was left on our plates at the end... mostly shells. The restaurant is bright and open, welcoming. Smiling faces welcomed us and asked where we'd like to sit. Service was prompt and unintrusive. We had a great meal with great conversation. Def recommend. read more

My partner and I enjoyed what we ate for dinner here Monday night, although I later found that we weren't afforded the full restaurant experience, which is very disappointing. Monday is lobster night, and my partner is a big lobster fan. The lobster here (I'm told) was excellent and the restaurant provided the right tools to get all the lobster meat. The sides my partner got - mashed potatoes and spinach - both were good. The potatoes were "real" and the spinach very garlicky. I got the grilled fish - hake. It was well prepared and my two sides, rice and slaw, were both very good. I wouldn't say better than at other seafood restaurants, but good. We started with a bowl of Maryland crab soup, which had a nice broth (very Old Bay-y) and chunks of crab. Tasty soup. The service was good with food brought promptly and good water service. We drink a lot of water and the server came over multiple times to refill our glasses. The restaurant is very nice inside, bright with a nautical theme. The bar was very popular during happy hour and the restaurant looks popular with couples and families. One big disappointment was that we were not offered and didn't receive the complimentary muffins. (They are buttermilk cheese muffins with citrus honey butter.) I later saw on Yelp people praising the muffins and the pictures looked great. I assumed they had discontinued them because I didn't see them at any tables. I did reach out to the owner afterward by email and he told me that they still routinely offer the muffins for the table and that this must have been a "lacking in my server training steps." So, please - if you are not offered the muffins (which look fantastic and I hear from others on Yelp that they are), please ask for them. I'm going to deduct a point for the muffin issue. Honestly, I spent $100 for dinner for two with tip and feel like a person should get the full restaurant experience. I'm a big fan of specialty breads and have been to other restaurants where they put a nice basket of bread on the table. I really feel disappointed by this experience. read more

I am very neutral on Hudson coastal. I don't love it as a favorite, but definitely don't hate it either. The ambiance is really nice. It is exactly as the name states, coastal. Lots of windows and light and bright. At the least it is an awesome place for a happy hour with some good deals that are well advertised. The food to me is just ok. It's often a red flag to me when the bread basket is your favorite thing about the restaurant and this is that. The muffins they give out to every table are diabolical. I could swim in those things. When it comes to what I ordered, the cucumber cups were ok, and the fish I got was well cooked and what I ordered, but there was nothing fun about it. Long story short, I don't jump to go back, but if someone suggests it, I'm not upset. I'll just make sure to order something different and take the whole muffin basket for myself. read more

I've been to this Fulton area many times, but this was my first time at Hudson Coastal. We sat outside, and there's plenty of seating both outside and inside. I started with drinks, and I really enjoyed the orange martini -- great cocktail. I also got vodka and cranberry from the happy hour menu. For my main, I ordered the shrimp tacos with sweet potato tots and rice. The rice was really tasty and tasted great as a topping with the tacos. read more

I have been coming to Hudson Coastal since it opened. I go there because the seafood has always been fresh and cooked to perfection. I was there on 8/28/2026 and I was so disappointed with my order of the crab cake dinner. The crab cakes (which used to be all crab meat and now have lots of breading added) were so over cooked, and dried out. Just terrible. I also ordered my old standby appetizer which is the fried calamari. Also disappointed with this because the portion is much smaller and each piece lost its crust before it left the plate. I am almost thinking that the seafood is being precooked prior to being ordered so that it can come out of the kitchen sooner. So sad. read more

Delightful lunch with a new friend on a chilly, blustery Thursday (5/21/26). It's a wide-open, airy place - which as I think about it, probably ensures no lingering fishy odor even on hot days ;) We were seated immediately, given a choice of open tables - there were quite a few at just after noon. Menus and drink orders were brought promptly. I chose the fish tacos, and our server - Casey - asked if I wanted the fish pan seared or blackened. We had a discussion over how many chips and salsa were served with it, because my friend wanted some with his veggie burger. We learned that the amount with an entrée is just right - about two handfuls - so we each had some, with my friend's being a substitution for fries. I almost can't find the words to describe those tacos! The fish was moist, perfectly seasoned and generously heaped in each taco. Often, tacos lean heavily on the veg elements but these had just the right amount of slaw. The flavor of the fish was so delicate and savory. Honestly, one taco was all I could manage. Although they were street taco sized, it was so filling. I only ate a handful of chips; they were good but nothing special, as was the tiny cup of salsa. My friend said his veggie burger was excellent, and he enjoyed the bit of chips and salsa as well. He just had water, while I tried a Corona NA. The bill was around $56, which is very reasonable. There's plenty of free parking in the shopping center. Great service, good prices, excellent food - I'll go back! read more

Our group of ten had a great experience here, thanks largely to the friendly, attentive staff and the owner's exceptional care. One person in our party has multiple allergies and needs gluten-free options. The owner personally came over to discuss ingredients and offer adjustments so she could dine comfortably--a gesture we all appreciated. Seafood is the star here, and everyone enjoyed their meals. Highlights from the table: * Lobster Roll (Connecticut style) * Seafood Burger * Seafood Sampler - great crab cake, flavorful cod, and perfectly grilled shrimp * North Atlantic Canadian Salmon * Shellfish Risotto - delicious, though a bit thick, with perfectly prepared shrimp and scallops that were tender. * Fish & Chips - light breading and hearty portions Our friend with dietary restrictions was also thrilled to find a gluten-free brownie with ice cream. Overall, a very enjoyable visit and easy to recommend. read more

The food was good. We got the soft shell crab sandwich and it was delicious, But someone needs to help them fix their process. When we asked about the specials, the waiter told me to look on the rotating screen/board, when asked about the fresh fish offers of the day, was told to check the rotating board, when asked what the market price was for the soft shell crab...you guessed it, was told to check the board again. Now I don't mind checking the board for information but it was a electronic rotating board and we had to wait for it to scroll to get to each of the options, Just let me know as this was such a waste of time when we had our baby with us and only 45 mins for lunch, The soft shell crab sandwich saved the day. read more

An impeccably run restaurant with attention to detail. I came here on a whim with two coworkers while in MD. We ordered a variety of dishes and we weren't super hungry when we arrived, but decided to share some apps and entrées. Surprisingly, even though we thought we ordered too much we ended up enjoying everything so much and did not feel stuffed - just had a small bit of food left over. The food is light and well seasoned without a lot of the heavy filler but portions are generous. Fresh ingredients prepared well and served with confidence. Also reasonable prices and we decided to splurge and split the brownie with ice cream at the end. Full list of items we ordered for a table of 3 to shared and loved each: Oysters (12) Calamari Scallops entree Seafood risotto entree Steam pot entree Brownie dessert Our server Alex was attentive and very helpful with our oyster order. read more

Updating with impressions of other dishes. Overall it is still great but I wasn't as happy with the sea scallops as I have been with other dishes (or with scallops elsewhere). They serve them "flash fried" instead of pan seared and this was not to their benefit: the scallops had a rubbery crust that was a bit overdone. The insides were fine but that overcooked edge brought them down. The mashed potatoes and spinach it comes with are good and the portions are multi-meal for my appetite but I would choose another dish. I also tried the watermelon mint mocktail and it is good though quite tart. Hubs loves the crab cake still and his bourbon/almond/amaretto cocktail. I won't downgrade the overall restaurant rating over one dish that is a miss but I strongly recommend they switch to a pan sear for their scallops in future. read more

This is a solid seafood restaurant. The space is large and has ample seating. We arrived and sat outside on their patio which you need to pass by to walk through the front door. Our server, Bianca, was great. Super friendly and attentive enough for our dining experience. We ordered the strawberry and pineapple margaritas for our cocktails. Then for apps we got their Calamari and Oysters Rockefeller. The oysters were good but the calamari was the highlight. They were crispy and we really enjoyed the two sauces they came in for dipping. For my main, I got their 4oz Connecticut Lobster Roll and my partner got their Shrimp Salad sandwich. The lobster had plenty of meat and was good but tasted more on the fishy side. We also shared the Lemon Berry Mascarpone Cake which was good. All in all, a really great dining experience with great food and service. Lovely location too! read more

Our dinner was nice, with the calamari and flatbread as starter (very tasty!), and main dishes two crab cakes and fried fish, and my "fresh catch" rock fish. All pretty good except two things: I found in my fish meal too much mush-potato but relatively little rock fish; and in my friend's crab cake, a hair (apparently human hair) appeared--she would not let me show it yo the waiter, who had been nice and neat. Good place overall, in and out of the dining hall! read more

Visited Hudson Coastal because I was in the mood for a lobster roll and saw they had one on the menu, so we had to check them out! The indoor decor definitely gives coastal beach vibes. The staff is super friendly and quick with service. Now for the food: Crab Dip: 10/10 Creamy, sizzling and full of crab. A Marylander's Dream. Lobster Roll: 10/10 I got the 4oz roll and I was still stuffed after eating. I got the Connecticut style, and the lobster was warm and buttery. It was so butter the bun got a little soggy, but it tasted so good and juicy I didn't mind. Would definitely get it again! My husband got the fish tacos and loved them. I took a bite to try and they were very juicy! Full of flavor, I want to get them myself next visit! We are definitely adding this spot into our rotation. Great place for seafood. read more

Food was excellent as always, Crab Cobb salad was delicious, Maryland crab soup with house baked bread and cream of crab soup all delicious!

Overall great experience, will definitely go back, it's a favorite. read more

**Super Cool Dining Spot Alert** This place is the definition of a relaxing atmosphere while enjoying a delicious variety of food. Hudson checked every box and the food is so fresh and well prepared. If you're into lobster you have to try the "Connecticut Lobster Roll" trust me when I say it's bursting with flavor in each and every bit. And the Canadian bred "Moon Dance" oysters were amazing... want to give a special shoutout to "Josh" who provided grade A service throughout our entire meal ( Thank you Josh !! ) If you're in the Columbia Md. area for any reason "Hudson Coastal" should be your choice ( can't miss !!! ) read more

I've been so underwhelmed by restaurants lately but Hudson Coastal delivered for me. Walking in, the place smells like a Maryland seafood restaurant. I can't describe it but you know what I mean if you know what I mean. I got the Bethany Beach club sandwich. It was delicious and filling! Granted the crab cake wasn't lump crab meat. So that was a little disappointing because it kind of smashed in the sandwich when I bit into it but it was still tasty. I'll be back soon. read more

Outstanding! Came here on a whim looking for a good place to have lunch and left knowing that I'll be back as often as feasible. Great prices, great food, excellent service and just a beautiful a place to eat. The decor was as nice as everything else. And the food for what we got was incredibly reasonably priced. I had a cup of the Maryland crab soup and it was delicious it was filled with lots of crab meat a delicious broth and lots of vegetables. I then had a sandwich that I've had at other seafood restaurants in the area a club sandwich called the Bethany Beach which had a crab cake, shrimp salad, bacon lettuce and tomato and it was delicious. I could hardly wrap my mouth around the sandwich it was so big. I opted for fries instead of potato chips and the fries were delicious. My friends who are with me had a cup of the cream of crab soup which looked delicious and he had the shrimp flatbread to go with it which not only look delicious but tasted the same and the shrimp were like in like a scampi sauce. My other friend had the lox BLT which was truly unique and truly something that she loved and would have gotten again. She paired it with the grilled corn on the cob instead of the chips and that looked very good. Our waiter was Alex and he was phenomenal. The speed of our appetizers and our food came out at a nice pace and after we ordered he brought out these delicious muffins with orange and we quickly gobbled them up. Alex checked on us regularly and gave us his thoughts on the top things he enjoyed on the menu so we could make our decisions. All in all, a great lunch, and I can't wait to go back. Highly recommend a visit here. read more

THE LEMON BREADDDD. this was probably the best part of an already amazing meal. they are so so addictive and i'm already planning my next trip back just to eat these again. other standouts were the softshell crab, raw AND grilled oysters, and my favorite sides were the beets & quinoa. definitely a must try if you're in the fulton area read more

Went with my fiancé and his family for mothers day weekend. My fiance's dad loved their Maryland raw oysters. We shared their calamari for appetizer and it was nice a crunchy, clean tasting. My fiancé got the Bethany Beach and it was HUGE! Our server was very friendly, I will definitely come back again maybe for their dollar oyster days on Monday. read more

Pricy for the portions, but tasty. The fish and chips and calamari were my faves. Not too many good options on happy hour, got the pickle chips anyway- pretty salty. $5 crushes on Thursdays was a deal, but maybe because it is mostly juice (stick with wine and beer). Service was attentive and patient despite our indecisiveness. read more

Hudson Coastal has some standards on the menu but what makes it special is the nightly listing of 3 or 4 kinds of fish caught locally (for the most part). The fish can be prepared a number of ways, blackened, broiled, pan-seared and more. There are also a listing of oysters each day and they are always terrific. Service has always been great here. The outdoor seating is lovely in nice weather and it's a casual upscale feel inside. A great place to go if you want fresh fish. read more

Service is top notch, but the food is not good. I really want to like this place. We have been there 3 times now and I was hoping that the cook may have just had a bad night or two. We went there for a 3rd time last night and it was disappointing once again. This is supposed to be a fresh seafood place. However, the seafood just isn't cooked well. Several of us got fish, different kinds, and it was overcooked once again and hard to chew. No taste. The vegetables were way too greasy, and the crabby fries barely had any crab on them and were also super greasy. I love that this place is family owned and the atmosphere is really friendly and nice. The servers and hosts are very attentive and friendly, but if I want a good, well cooked seafood meal, I'll choose somewhere else. read more

Two things to keep in mind: we ordered to go and I think my expectations were off. Our order of crab cakes was ready quickly and tasted fresh. My only issue is I wasn't expecting the texture. I'm NOT a crab cake expert so this one was probably delicious for others. But I wasn't expecting chunks of seafood - I thought the consistency would be more consistent throughout. Later in the week, I ordered another crab cake from a different establishment and it was exactly as I expected. read more

It's all in the attitude! We went with business guests and are very unhappy how we were treated. We ordered broiled snapper. The fish came out dry as a bone. This is not an inexpensive meal. We talked with the manager about the fish and the flatbreads being soggy. We were surprised by the lack of sincerity from the manager. It was somehow my fault that I ordered it broiled and not baked. You'd think I should know that they don't know how to cook fish.. At least, I should be warned that they would kill the fish if broiled. They should know better! Not one spec of empathy or sincerity. We go there at least twice yearly 6+ years. I don't imagine risking this restaurant with my business guests. Roy read more

We came in for lunch on a Saturday afternoon almost as soon as they opened! Hudson's Coastal kept coming up in seafood searches here on Yelp near me!!! So why not? We arrived at opening and it quickly filled up! However, most of the patrons appeared to be regulars!! based on the owners greeting to most of the patrons. It was very nice inside with nautical themed decor and music playing! I ordered the seafood burger which was a blend of shrimp and fish with a fried green tomato and remoulade sauce on top! We also ordered the grilled oysters!! So the food was pretty decent! The seafood burger was a soft texture but good flavor!! The oysters was just ok! I wasn't impressed! Overall, the service was great and the food was good! I mostly enjoyed the ambience and vibe! read more

I've been wanting to check this place out since I noticed it when visiting this shopping center in Fulton. We were craving seafood one weekend and decided to check it out. We had the raw oysters to start for the appetizer. I got the crab cobb salad for my entree and a strawberry mojito for my drink. The mojito could have used more mint. The seafood was very fresh which is the most important aspect of this restaurant. The oysters were delicious my favorite of everything. There was a nice amount of crab in the salad that I ordered. The crab fries were a miss though. A point off because the staff seemed a new/inexperienced. The hostess did not know what do to with a booster seat and tried to stack it on top of a high chair.. As soon as we sat down the waiter asked what we wanted to eat. Did not even start with drink orders. Our waiter gave a very vague answer about what oysters they had, but we ordered them anyway since that is what we were in the mood for. read more

My son and I came here on a Saturday afternoon. Not too many people here and we were able to choose our seating. I thought it was going to be fancy inside, but they have a chill vibe and welcoming. Once we found our seats a waiter came over and gave us menus, and since this was our first time there, they explained the menu, the fresh catch of the day, and offered us complimentary muffins which were tasty. We got the crab dip for an appetizer. It was good and piping hot with bread for dipping. For my entree, I ordered scallops with red skin mashed potatoes, and spinach. The scallops were a nice size and cooked to perfection. My son got the crab cake which he said was delicious and meaty without a lot of filler. My only con is the mojito I ordered. I was expecting a more sweet and minty drink, but I didn't get that taste at all. However, I would most definitely come back. read more

I stopped by Hudson Coastal for a quick snack while I waited for my son to finish practice. Conveniently located near Maple Lawn but gives beach vibes! This restaurant had fresh oysters from Massachusetts and Maine. They were salty and briny! Loved it. The Tuna nachos were really good, but a bit difficult to eat in shape. I also loved the flavor of the seaweed, but it was slightly chewy. The wasabi added a great punch to them as well. I had a mocktail which was delicious if you like limey, mojito like flavor profiles. I would visit again! read more

Came here during lunch, the restaurant was not busy. That being said the service was great and I really enjoyed the ambience. This place reminds me of a coastal flats type of vibe. I ordered some oysters and a burger. The oysters were tasty and seemed very fresh, which I enjoyed.

I definitely plan on coming back to try out more seafood items. read more
