    Hh benedict with bacon!! Delish!!
    Vicky L.

    Very large restaurant that has indoor and outdoor seating. Food is like English pub food - I had beef stew with mashed potatoes and as a group we shared calamari. The food was very good and the portion sizes and prices were very reasonable. There was only one server that night, no host, and one bartender, so the service was a bit slower than what I would have liked, but that is not really a big deal, and maybe it was because it was a early weeknight and not a lot of people. The service that we did have though was very good! I also really liked their mocktails! As I said this space is huge, and every table is spaced out nicely, and I think it would be great for big groups and also to bring your kid along to eat with you!

    We had a good meal overall! I was initially worried because nothing from the menu was catching my eye, and I didn't want to order something that I could make at home. I think they do their bread, fries, and dessert well in particular. The venue is huge so I don't think it'd be hard to get a table, but it can be noisy since it's more of a sports bar.

    Fish and chips
    Craig G.

    The restaurant space at end of Erie hasn't had a good track record, owing to sky high rents and an oversaturated restaurant scene. Hudson Hound is the latest to fill the gap. It's pricey and the vibe is much more gastropub than the menu's Irish pub would suggest but, it's a fine place to grab pub food and a pint. I sidled up to the sleek bar on a Thursday night with a craving for fish and chips. The dish (three generous slabs of beer battered cod on crisp fries) was exactly what I was looking for, though the accompanying tartar sauce could've used more zing.

    Burrata

    Lunch weekend brunch options in Jersey City. Great service and the Irish breakfast offered a good variety of food. Irish pub and restaurant that offers brunch before 3pm (?) otherwise, bar food is available the whole day. The sourdough bread that came with the burrata was exceptionally good!

    Fried Chicken Sandwich

    I really enjoyed all the drinks and cocktails at the Hudson Hound, but unfortunately not the food. The Lady Lavender, Aperol Spritz and Expresso Martini were all great. For brunch, I ordered the Fried Chicken Sandwich. The chicken was dry and flavorless. Even the pickle was bad... how!? I would come back for drinks, just skip on the food.

    Food is flavorful. The burrata was amazing paired with the pickled onions. The chicken was also great. Portions are large. Bonus if you check it out during restaurant week. $39 for 3 courses. Service is really slow. Not sure why because the place wasn't too busy. Also pack your patience to find parking. It's really tight.

    Vegetarian risotto is super rich!
    Danielle G.

    I must say I'm not disappointed. I've been wanting to try this restaurant and glad I did. I tried their cocktail called the JC Gem and it was delicious. I will say my party ordered the Burrata, which our waitress forgot , so we were disappointed. But then I'll just have to come back to taste is soon. We sat outside as a perfect night for but the inside is beautiful. My friends really liked their main courses. I ordered the vegetarian risotto which was extremely rich so I couldn't eat much of it. They should really serve a piece of bread with this main course would be my only complaint. So I ended up ordering a side of their homemade sour dough bread which is so good. I'll definitely be back to try their brunch!

    Had a good time here with friends. Only a few minutes walk from the PATH train Grove Street station. Nice little craft beer selection on tap, along with a proper pour of Guinness from what I observed. I enjoyed a Carton Brewing Pilsner which was a smooth Jersey based brew. Fish and chips were tasty, and not greasy. All priced accordingly. We sat at the bar and had terrific service. Staff here is friendly and the place itself evokes a cozy feel. Plenty of places to sit inside, with some sidewalk seating too. Oh, and clean bathrooms.

    Wings
    Heather L.

    Checked out this place for a relaxed outdoor diner. They also had a high chair and a kids menu so we were sold. Mostly bar food with a slight Irish theme. Tables were spread out inside and they had plenty of tables outside so a good start. We mostly ordered off the bar menu and split the cheese plate $16, chicken tenders $9, fish and chips $20, small order of wings $12, and an Irish soda bread $4. Standouts were the soda bread and tenders. The tenders had a great flavor and a kick with a chili dipping sauce. All were solid dishes thoughts. Huge drink menu and nice bar scene. Service was relaxed but attentive. All in all a great option when in the area!

    Sliders
    Thea A.

    vibes, we (party of 4) got there a bit before dinner time and there were no seats inside (bcos trivia night) but sitting outside was actually better. the fish was nicely cooked but i think it lacked a bit of seasoning so we had to ask for salt and pepper. the salad was good. the sliders were nothing special, tastes like nothing and really small. though we were able to order them from the bar menu even while seated outside which was nice

    Fried Chicken Sandwich

    Just short of 5 stars due to a cranky bartender with short and rude comments and should not be in customer arrive job. Other than that particular bartender the food and ambiance was great for my friends reservation ed table for her birthday. The food was unexpectedly really good for bar food and nice cocktails. The best of All orders was the filet medallions were really tender and salad fresh. HH Java espresso martinis tasty and the pear vodka cocktail was my table go to for drinks.

    Full Irish Breakfast

    Went here for Mother's Day. Had made a reservation on their website about a week before and had no problem for getting a table of 5. Once we got there the hostess was kind enough to offer inside and outside seating, and had reserved both so I could choose. Which was so nice and considerate! Getting into the food. We ordered a whole loaf of the Irish soda bread (worth it compared to the side of Irish soda bread it was $12 for the loaf of about 10 pieces versus $5 for 2 pieces!) quite a hack tbh. I ended up with the HH Benedict which was good you could either get it on a scone or their homemade potato pancake. I got it on the scone, it wasn't bad but would have liked their potato pancake. My benidict also had there home made smoked salmon and it was delish. My boyfriend got the full Irish which was standard and very good. My dad got the chicken and waffles which was ($18) but could've been a little bigger. The outdoor seating was amazing and really was so nice because of the umbrellas. The only thing was that my moms HH Benedict didn't come out with everything, and we weren't checked on by our waiter that much so we had to flag him down when we actually wanted to order. TLDR: Overall would go back but maybe just a clean up on the service. Food was tasty and reserving a table a head was the move.

    Hudson Hound is a nice calm brunch spot. The food is pretty good. I ate a burger here and my friend had some Benedict.

    Very casual spot. I came here for drinks on a Wednesday and they also do trivia. I can't comment on the food. It's a fun time!

    Loved this spot & oh apparently it's the best in the world? Neato…read more Homey Irish pub with a healthy dose of cocktail snobbery - My absolute dream establishment, thank you very much. I wish we had more time to loiter & drink, but we could only squeeze in a single round. I got a mezcal margarita with extra, extra salt on the rim, & my friend got a draught IPA. Tasty & well executed. The bartender was kinda rude in the way you want your bartender to be. There was plenty to look at on the walls, ceiling, floor. I will be returning the next time I'm in the city.

    I was first at this Irish pub/cocktail bar a long while ago, back before I worked in the…read moresurrounding neighborhood and when I used to take fewer, or zero, photos and videos. I remember liking their drinks, but I never stopped back in, as I don't go out to drink too often. More recently, I was here a few months ago with a large group for their Sunday Roast. The staff were friendly and gave us good service, even though the place was crowded, and there was some loud but pleasant live music playing in the background. Of course, a bunch of us got cocktails. I went with their signature Irish Coffee, as I thought the Alexander one, based on a Brandy Alexander, would be a little bit too sweet. Said drink was $17 and had Teeling Small Batch Irish whiskey, Andytown coffee, Demerara, freshly whipped cream, and nutmeg. As can be seen in the hundreds, or rather thousands, of other reviews, their Irish coffee is excellent. It's not too sweet or too bitter, with enough whiskey for just a tiny kick of alcohol, along with a hit of spice. Another person loved the $20 Frozen version with the same whiskey, along with Mr. Black coffee liqueur, cold brew coffee, cane sugar, and cream, and I believe someone else got the fancier Alexander version for $21. Outside of their coffees, there was a mix of other cocktails, including the Doctor's Orders for $21, with Wild Turkey 101 bourbon, Laird's apple brandy, cinnamon, allspice, grapefruit, and lime. I remember trying it as I gave the other person a sip of my drink and enjoying it. The majority of us went with the same $44 Sunday Roast as our main dish. This consisted of a roasted sirloin of beef, bread stuffing, roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese gratin, roasted vegetables, Yorkshire pudding, beef gravy, and horseradish cream. The beef was cooked to my requested temperature, and only a small portion of fat wasn't rendered down properly. However, this wasn't the case for others, with one person's steak in particular having a lot of fat. I partially blame this on the sheer number of orders, but that was unfortunate. The roasted vegetables consisted of carrots and broccoli, and they had a nice char, along with the potatoes. The stuffing was standard, and I liked the unique gratin in particular, as it added an extra texture and saltiness to the dish. The gravy it came with was nice, with some richness and a good beefy flavor, which paired nicely with the Yorkshire pudding and the vegetables. Lastly, I used a small bit of the horseradish, which helped cut the richness. Overall, it was good, but if I had one of the other people's plates, I might have liked it a bit less. This is a tasty place with particularly good cocktails. They have thousands of good reviews for a very good reason. Good luck in DC and Austin as well.
