Happy Hour Value This review is based on my happy hour experiences, and the value is hard to beat. Highlights include: * $10 double cheeseburger with a pickle * $3 East Coast oysters * Half-price drinks, including martinis and wine by the glass Overall, it is an excellent value for a really nice place. Atmosphere and Service The atmosphere and service are impeccable. After more than one visit, the bartenders may recognize you--or at least remember your beverage choices. The Bar Show The best part is the show. The people-watching at the bar is unlike anything else. Happy hour starts at 3:00, but the bar seats are usually full by 2:45. Latecomers often walk in, circle the bar, and leave when they realize there are no seats available. Many guests settle in for the full three hours, which creates its own entertainment. Then come the "watchers," each with a strategy for claiming a seat: * Look for someone nearing the end of a drink. * Watch for guests paying their bill. * Hover nearby, hoping a seat opens up. * Ask someone for a heads-up when they are about to leave. It is surprisingly entertaining, and the occasional bit of staff drama only makes it even better. Bottom Line Either way, it is a great deal for dinner, drinks, and a show, all with amazing service. Show up early--or come prepared with your own strategy. read more

I was so excited about going to Hudson House to celebrate my birthday but was overall disappointed with the food. Service was ok, not outstanding. The appetizers were good. We ordered the crispy rice tuna and the dinamite shrimp. Both were delicious but small, specially the dinamite shrimp served in a BIG bed of greens. The crispy rice tuna was good. The presentation was nice. My daughter ordered the stone fruit martini and she loved it. I ordered a glass or Sauvignon blanc and it was also good. The ambiance was nice and upscale. The food was disappointing for the price. I ordered the salmon, and the presentation was poor. It looked like something I would have cooked at home. Just a piece of salmon and a side of broccoli; nothing fancy or original about this dish. I'm sharing a picture of a salmon dish we had a a restaurant in Estes Park, Colorado for the same price. Maybe they will learn a decent presentation for a $30 dollar dish. I'm sure the food cost in CO is not higher than DFW. Do better. The steak frites was the most disappointing dish of all; $50 dollars for a small piece of steak, side of spinach and small side of fries. The chicken parm was just ok. The pickle in the hamburger overtook the flavor. Order with no pickles if you're not a fan. The side of fries for the hamburger, which have to be ordered separately, were cold and just ok; nothing special. Overall, we were NOT impressed. Maybe I'll consider going back for happy hour for appetizers and drinks, but probably not. read more

Hudson House - This is NOT Hudson House. This is how a decent salmon dish would look like for $30. - Bars Near Me - Frisco, Texas

This is absolutely one of the grossest restaurants I've ever been to. From the customer service to the overpriced food- I would give this place zero stars. There are plenty of great restaurants in Frisco and unfortunately, this one is not it. Went to the restaurant ordered several plates, my husband told the server it was my and my sons birthday asked for a cake and was told to come another day- I assume he was skeptical of our birthdays. Maybe there is a birthday cake scam going on these days . My family and I would have had a better time at Chilli's read more

Met friends there Saturday evening 8/8. A nice looking restaurant with friendly service and staff that looks as put together as the patrons (which doesn't alway happen these days). Service was a little slow and portions a little small, but neither was bad. Note their happy hour only applies to the bar top and patio. So if you're their for dinner say at 5:30 for some reason, and you're about to hand over $100 to the restaurant for food, know the guy sitting at the bar who came in for just 1 drink is paying half for his martini as you are paying for yours. Sound fair? read more

First time dining at HH and definitely looking forward to our next visit. We were offered outdoor seating, however I asked if there was anything indoors and was quickly shut down due to not having reservations. I didn't realize reservations were needed, however the host was extremely rude when I asked if there was anything inside. Shaking their head no as they looked down bothered by me asking. We accepted outdoor seating, i asked our waitress about reservations and she did suggest making one especially on a Fri/Sat and Sun. We enjoyed a burger, fries, and the French chicken. All very good, location is busy, prices are a bit on the higher end, but definitely a must try read more

Excellent food, drinks and service. My only recommendation would be for the cooks to make sure the dish taste is consistent. I like to order the same thing and expect it to taste the same each time. Always great but could be fabulous. read more

My family has come to this restaurant multiple times and we really enjoy it! The service is great and I really appreciate the nice gentleman serving us. It is a very cute restaurant and the ambiance is very calm. Chicken parm: This dish was alright. There is a lot of cheese on the dish which can be overpowering. The marinara sauce is very light which I enjoy. They were out of pasta so I did not get the full experience with this dish. Moreover, I still had to pay full price even though half my dish was missing. Burger: The burger is great! It is extremely juicy and I loved the thousand island dressing on it. It is a great portion and tons of flavor. I loved getting truffle fries on the side with this burger! It came with a huge seasoned pickle on the side which was too sour for me. I also liked the trio dipping sauces, which included ranch, ketchup, honey mustard. Honey mustard was the best with the fries! read more

My first impression was that the restaurant was incredibly loud and packed for a Monday evening. It's definitely not the place for a quiet, relaxing dinner, but it's clearly popular for a reason. We ordered the dynamite shrimp, truffle fries, cheeseburger, lobster roll, and chicken parm, and everything was solid and flavorful. I'd definitely come back for the $10 cheeseburger during weekday happy hour (3-6 pm)... sounds like a great deal! read more

This is a new location in Frisco! The area is clean and proper, I enjoyed the "comfort classiness" of the establishment. The staff were friendly and paid attention to us. Now for the food and drink - Loving the foam on the le.on drop. It was too sour for me but I really enjoyed and drank it all Maybe I'm missing out on salads but that salad was the bomb, the popcorn chicken and bacon and tomato and cheese and avocado - literally texture heaven. I didn't even need to use the green goddess dressing which came with the meal. Key lime pie should have been bigger but it was still yummy! read more

I didn't stay long, but I love Hudson House. This was my first time at this location. I've been to the Addison one before. There was ample parking, and I was seated quickly around 5:30. My redfish with veggies came out fast, and I was in and out by 6pm, which I appreciated. The decor is super cute, and while I didn't interact much with the service, the staff was friendly. I also liked how easy it was to pay using their QR code. Overall, I had a great experience. I'll definitely be back and will update with a more thorough review next time. read more

A small chain done right! I absolutely love Hudson House. This was my first time to the Frisco location, and it was fantastic. Came for a celebratory Friday lunch for 2. The place was lively as could be for happy hour. Started with a glass bottle Diet Coke (a top tier DC) and a half dozen of east coast oysters. I personally LOVE that they only to east coast, because they are just so good. I had a lobster roll and it was perfect. Generous amount of meat lightly tossed with mayo, just the way I like it! Finished with a key lime pie which is one of my favorite desserts. Top tier establishment! Signed -a very happy east coast girl read more

We went here for food since we don't really drink. It was the whole fam this time. The place is supposed to be bar/grill theme, it didnt feel that way, it's kinda tacky honestly but I'm not knocking it for that. We had reservations and I'm glad because it was busy. We were seated promptly and our server was quick to get us our water/drinks. Generally the service was fine, nothing spectacular. The food here is really a strong point. They have a smaller sized menu but they do everything well. At least what all we ordered was fantastic. I wouldn't mind coming back here to gnosh on more good grub, not at all. read more

The boyfriend and I came here a couple weeks after their grand opening, and we weren't disappointed. Our server was Rhett, and he was so friendly. I love love love this place. From the ice cold martinis to the seafood, to the vibes, it's so perfect. I love how they have an oyster of the day. I love fish and other seafood, so this was right up my alley. The first time we came for a late afternoon snack, so we just had happy hour drinks and oysters from the happy hour menu, then a sushi roll. That had us HOOKED, line and sinker. (lmfao) My Bleu and Gold martini was Savory Girl perfection, even before I requested extra dirty and more bleu cheese stuffed olives. My boyfriend was told the Bellini was strong, and it certainly was! From what I gathered, the oysters rotate but they have a few different ones to choose from. On the day that we were there, we had Hammerhead oysters. The second time we came, it was my birthday. We didn't get Rhett this time, but the server was equally as friendly and good. I got the steak frites and the Man got the Pan Seared Redfish. We also got 2 of each oyster! I was a little disappointed because I didn't know which oyster I was eating, and originally they meat and brine seemed to be halfway missing in the shucking process, so our server got us another order of 6 on the house, which I really appreciated when they came out much better than the first batch! read more

I'm not a huge fan of cold lobster rolls but this was decent. Heavy mayo so if you don't enough that I wouldn't get it. The bread was nice and butter like Texas toast! The shrimp was great and so was the bed of salad it sat on. It's a good portion size too so I would really recommend. Lastly, everything you heard about the peach bellini is true! It is STRONG but very tasty. It was a bit nosey at the time I went but you expect that at a certain hour. I sat at the bar and the service was as nice as if I would have sat at a table. read more

I was so excited when a Hudson House opened closer to my house so I don't have to make the trek to Addison. My husband and I stopped by on a weekday around 4:30 pm for happy hour before dinner elsewhere, and luckily, we were able to snag a seat on the patio. All the seating at the bar was already taken at this point. We ordered the dynamite shrimp, some oysters, the cheeseburger, and some drinks. I usually start with the bleu & gold martini (or two). My husband tried the stone fruit martini, but they put a super sour sugar rim on his, which made it EXTREMELY hard to drink. I've ordered this at the Addison location before and never had this rim, so I'm not sure if it is typical at the Frisco location or if it was just when we went. The food was all great- the dynamite shrimp was good, but nothing spectacular. Some of the batter ended up being soggy and a few shrimp pieces were rather small. The cheeseburger was amazing, as always! Overall, the food and service were great, and we will definitely be back again! read more

Ordered a slice if keylime pie from doordash... That pie was just okay. The crust was thin towards the middle, but as you got to the top it was thick and not a lot of filling. Also had a weird taste like it was sitting next to something savory. The whipped cream was just okay. I get it not being sweet is to compliment the already sweet pie, but it was just not that great either. So happy I didnt order food too, as I see mixed reviews that state the food is just as underwhelming. read more

Honestly, love Hudson House for all the things! Their food, the martinis, the upbeat ambiance, the bar scene is so welcoming and fun. If you're looking for a great happy hour, theirs is it - 1/2 off martinis (my faves - espresso, lemon drop & French 75) and Bellinis (the peach Bellini is perfection), $10 cheeseburger (double cheeseburger, one of the best I've had honestly), $3 East Coast oysters. Most recently, we went to celebrate my brother's birthday and Elle, our waitress, she was the best. She was with our shenanigans, so sweet, had a great time with us, kept the food and drinks coming. A really good time! read more

I was so surprised that this place doesn't have an overall higher rating. The ambiance is incredible inside. We had great service with our server checking in often which allowed us to order more food!

I will definitely be back. read more

I recently had the opportunity to visit Hudson House's new Frisco location after dining at their Addison location last year. We went to dinner on a Thursday night and it took about 2 weeks to get a reservation that was around dinner time on a prime night. The restaurant parking was absolutely packed and the restaurant itself was also very crowded and loud when we entered. We had a reservation scheduled but the hostess told us they were still clearing tables and to wait a little while. We only had to wait about 10 minutes and were seated at the front of the restaurant in a booth. To begin, we wanted to order oysters and chose 2 of each kind offered. Additionally, we asked for more information about them, and a drink to pair, but our waitress was not able to really give us recommendations. The oysters were as expected, with a couple of them being better than others. We particularly enjoyed the Great White. For our wine with the oysters, we had a glass of the La Chablisienne Chablis Le Finage, which was lovely Chardonnay from France. For our entrees, we ordered the Steak Frites, served with truffle parmesan french fries, and topped with herb compound butter & fresh herbs. The steak was good, cooked to medium rare as desired, however, the portion was very small. We replaced the parmesan french fries with truffle fries and they were excellent! They were skinny, shoestring fries with plenty of truffle oil included. The other entree ordered was the Lobster Roll, which was fresh Atlantic lobster, New England style, served on brioche, with skinny fries. We also substituted these fries with the truffle fries and were pleased with our decision. The lobster roll was absolutely fantastic and one of my favorite parts of the night. It was rich, the brioche bun was baked perfectly and they definitely did not skimp on the lobster! For a shared side, we ordered the Lobster Mac & Cheese. This was another hit for the night. It was served with plenty of lobster and was rich, creamy and filling. Lastly, for dessert, we ordered the Key Lime Pie. This pie was another amazing part of the night. In comparison to other restaurant's key lime pies, this one was the best. It was rich, topped with caramel and graham cracker crumbs. It was also just the right amount of lime, we absolutely loved it! Overall, it was a pretty good experience, but they still have some kinks to work out. There were pretty long, unnecessary wait times and the wait staff seemed a little overwhelmed and flustered at times. The portion sizes seemed a little small for some of the dishes as well, like the Steak Frites, especially for the price point. However, the lobster dishes and key lime pie were excellent. Ultimately, I hope this place continues to grow and improve, I would like to come back once they get their footing a little more. I definitely want to revisit the Addison location and compare. Thank you so much! read more

Burger is always solid! The Bellini is strong , so be careful! You can't go wrong with the Hudson house salad!

They made a huge investment in the property, you would never know it's an old Twin Peaks! Service was great as expected. The Mac and cheese was good, the lobster roll was fantastic. We also loved the fries. They have a rotating East Coast oyster selection of 4 varieties. However they did not cut the oyster from the shell! I had to use a knife and cut all oysters myself, very disappointing for oyster bar. For that reason only 4 stars. read more

Being burger lovers we had to try their burger on happy hour, it is a great deal! Our server was polite & attentive. The outdoor patio is a win, as we love to eat in fresh air outside.

I don't know what we were thinking when we thought of going to this restaurant on a Friday evening without reservations...silly us! But it all worked out. We were able to snag a couple of barstools and had light apps and martinis. The bartenders were great. We came because of their claim of having the world's coldest martinis. I don't think that was actually true for us but they were delicious! read more

Upscale place with a tight menu. Chicken, fish, burgers, and even a huge lobster roll on the menu. Lots of bar seating and booths. Voices carry here and it's loud. We shared some fries to start. My wife was told by a friend to get the chicken dish and they weren't wrong. Cajun flavored and must be brined because it was so juicy. My redfish was okay and a little overcooked so I'd probably try something else next time but it was good read more

I've eaten at the Frisco location a couple of times lately. They were slammed busy on the most recent visit, but staff up front was gracious and hustling.

Lighting is really nice and our server was excellent. read more

The last two times I have been there it took 20 minutes to get a beer, while the other people in my party were getting their wine, which took 15 minutes. The time before last we were there at 3pm, and were told the bartender was "slammed". How this can happen at 3pm and 5:30pm? How about hiring more bar staff? I won't be back. read more

The food was amazing, the Chicken Parmesan was delicious, with a great crisp to the chicken and flavor with pasta. The dynamite shrimp was also packed with flavor.

I am writing to express my disappointment regarding an uncomfortable experience I had at Hudson House on Preston Road in Frisco. I came in as a party of one and initially attempted to sit at the bar, but the bar was full. I spoke with the gentleman at the host stand about seating, and he advised me that I could sit at one of the bar-area tables, but if I did, I would need to be finished and leave within approximately an hour and a half. What made this interaction particularly uncomfortable was that I observed other guests coming in and being seated without hearing the same type of restriction or warning placed on their dining time. I completely understand that restaurants have reservation schedules, table-turn expectations, and busy periods. However, the way this was communicated specifically to me made me feel as though I was not equally welcomed or that serving me was somehow an inconvenience. As a woman dining alone, being singled out with a time limit while watching other guests receive what appeared to be different treatment was embarrassing and upsetting. I do not want to unfairly label anyone or automatically characterize the interaction as racial discrimination. However, I am an African American woman, and the disparity in how I appeared to be treated left me questioning whether race played a role. No customer should leave a restaurant wondering whether their race, appearance, or the fact that they are dining alone affected the level of hospitality they received. Hudson House has a reputation for providing a certain level of service and hospitality, which is why this experience was particularly disappointing. I would appreciate management reviewing what occurred, including the seating practices being used at the host stand at the time of my visit, and providing an explanation as to why I was specifically advised that I would have to leave within an hour and a half. I am not asking for preferential treatment. I am simply asking for the same welcoming, respectful, and consistent treatment that should be extended to every guest who walks through the door. I would appreciate a response from management regarding this experience. read more
