Was working in Seattle on an early Sunday and waited for over two hours just to call in an ordered cause their food looked amazing. Sadly the person on the phone was kinda rude and cocky... wouldn't take a to go order over the phone and said they don't do to go orders but when asked if I could come in order and then take it to go he said I guess we could do that and box it up. What difference does it make. Sounds like pretty shitty service and a waste of my time sitting here waiting and starving just for them not wanting to sell me food. What is wrong with people these days... read more

This has been a favorite place but the last couple of times makes me think something has changed. Went in yesterday for brunch and it was abnormally loud inside. One of our orders was steak and eggs which normally is a good choice. The steak could not have been more than three ounces and came out much closer to well done than medium rare. I was ready to send it back (Which is very rare for me) but decided to go with it. The brisket omelette is always great, but not quite as good as usual. We asked if we could sub the hash browns and biscuit for something else and the server said she could bring us berry plate. I got the bill and was up charged for the berry plate. I don't mind being charged like that if the server lets you know that when that is offered. Might be a while before we head back read more

First time brunching here and it is a nice place to add to the rotation. The spot is easy for me to get to and parking was a breeze. The interior has a dive bar vibe but it wasn't divey. It seems like there are a lot of regulars and that's a good sign. I don't know if we were there at the right time but there was no wait. The food was good. I liked the gravy on the chicken fried steak a lot. And the biscuit was good. Hash browns and pumpkin pancake were okay. Service was good and attentive. We never wanted for coffee. They didn't kick us out even though we were there for almost 3 hours. Maybe they would have if it was busy. Next time I'm trying the shrimp and grits. read more

It's back to really terrible service here. I'm pretty certain the waitress with the long bangs is back. Sigh. We called to ask what the wait time was at 10 am on a Saturday. The woman who answered waited an awkwardly long time before responding, "There's no wait right now, but people just walked in the door, so I don't know what the wait will be when you get here." All she had to say was, "There's no wait right now." Before we could thank her or say anything else, she hung up on us. I guess we triggered her by asking what the wait time was? ‍ The quality of the food is not worth the terrible, passive-aggressive service. read more

Yummmm! I came here because I saw the yelp reviews and I can confirm and attest to it being delicious. Heads up, it's pretty crowded for weekend breakfast and parking was a challeng. I got the chicken fried steak and it was delicious! The crispy bits tasted like they were made of French crispy onions and it was amazing. Everything was pretty fairly priced and the bartender was super nice! read more

A small place that delivers great food with large portions. I loved that this is a 21+ establishment! read more

Good food - okay service. I came here for a coffee and to meet up with a couple of friends one afternoon and was a little put off by the vibe I got from the hostess/server. It was probably because I was carrying a computer bag with me and my friend had his hood up from the rainy morning cold. Regardless, I felt an odd vibe and hoped it would change after we ordered something. I asked the server for a menu and when I didn't see any coffees on it I asked if they served any since I thought they were known for being a espresso bar in the past. She said the machine had broken down and now they only serve drip. That was fine so we ordered two coffees while waiting for the third member of our party to arrive. As I perused the menu I could not avoid the po'boys staring at me and calling my name. I quickly ordered the shrimp po'boy and within 10 minutes it was out, piping hot, and every bit as delicious as described in the menu. There is little in the way of food or cafe options in this immediate area so they are positioned well to be a high traffic top-notch establishment. The only thing I would suggest is to be a bit more welcoming to paying customers when they just want a cup of coffee and a bite to eat. read more

Hudson - Shrimp Po'boy!! - New American Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Really want to like this place. Servers and atmosphere are great but the food is just plain awful. The Monte Christo is made with what seems to be frozen Sysco french toast. Menu says it comes with an egg on top but there wasn't one. Didn't care for one anyway so didn't ask about it. Biscuits are blah and the gravy is just gross. Basic breakfast includes toast but just one piece?!? Wondering if they just give you half an English muffin if ordered. Grits are gummy and pasty and seem reheated. Food comes out lukewarm and either overcooked or undercooked. Prices are high for quality. Have been probably at least a dozen times but giving up. read more

Shoutout to Maria behind the bar! Brisket omelette and chicken fried steak worth every extra mile I will have to walk tomorrow. Can't wait to go back! read more

Spent the night near the stadiums after a concert and wanted to try somewhere new and different for breakfast. Found Hudson on Yelp and so glad we did! This is our new go-to place for breakfast if we are even close to that area!! We like that it is 21+; no offense, but we prefer to enjoy our morning meals sans children. There was a bit of a wait (small place - not many tables) so we grabbed a cup of coffee. We were lucky enough to grab a seat at the bar before our coffee even cooled off, so that was excellent. Nice tap beer list, so we had beer with our brunch after we finished up our "go juice". Husband had the chorizo omelet, and it was delicious. I had the shrimp & cheesy grits - wow! what a flavorful meal!! Portions are generous. Neither of us finished our meals, though we gave it the old college try! Highly recommend Hudson. read more

Chicken fried steak is very good and service is always stellar. I have to write a minimum number of characters so this sentence is just fluff. read more

Great food and great service! Can't go wrong with any of the meals and drinks are amazing!

This place is tiny! It will be hard to sit more than a party of 4 here but parties of 1 rejoice. There is a large U shaped bar that takes up most of this restaurant. This is where we sat at. It was the best spot because I could see the chef behind the counter cooking on the flaming stove and watch every finished plate delivered to its table. I saw many plates of pancakes go out with eggs anyway you want it on top! The pancakes were so huge I couldn't even see the plate underneath! I am always torn between the brunch battle of savory vs sweet. Savory usually wins for me. This place has huge portions. Just look at my beef brisket omelette I ordered. Fluffy eggs topped with fried onions. Inside filled with big tender chucks of beef and cheese. Also the warm biscuit is the perfect addition on the side. He ordered the chicken fried steak. He always has to try it whenever we go for brunch. Steak was thick and covered in this delicious batter. It was seasoned well with a spicy kick! I definitely had enough food for breakfast the next morning even after sharing half my hash browns! read more

Hudson - Beef brisket and chicken fried steak @shelbyfoodadventure - New American Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Had wanted to try this place for some time & finally got there for breakfast on a Sunday morning. The space is pretty cool. And the staff are nice. But I wouldn't say that the food was anything to really rave about. It seems that one of their "specialties" is chicken fried steak. Unfortunately, it was over breaded and overcooked. And in general, they are very overpriced. Pretty disappointing. read more

As always, so happy to have Hudson back and running post COVID. Such a great Seattle staple for south enders. Staff is the best, food is amazing and love the brunch mimosas! See you again soon!!! read more

I'll start off by saying the food here has always been great. I've been to Hudson several times and have always recommended this place to friends and family with high praise. I've had the shrimp with cheesy grits and the beef brisket omelet with a biscuit which I both highly suggest. Today for some reason, the service was absolutely terrible... I took my brother in law here for his birthday with a few friends (6 peple total) and we could not have been treated with the utmost disrespect from our server. Our server, Jenn, greeted us with attitude right from the start. My friend ordered the brisket omelette with a BISCUIT, but got toast instead. We let Jenn know of the mistake and she argued that that's what the ticket stated. Ok... we just let YOU know politely that IS NOT what we ordered. Whatever, cool... Next, as she was cleaning our table, she picked up my brother in law's plate and dropped the dirty fork and butter knife on him. NO APOLOGY. He was was wearing a white button up which is now stained. I can understand if she was having a bad day and treated other tables the same, but no... the 2 other tables she served, she served with a smile and kind gestures. As we received our bill, Jenn mixed up our tabs and ended up switching our orders. It looked like we were charged for extra toast. Asked her why we were charged for the toast when we let her know we ordered the biscuit to begin with and she tells me "oh, is the toast too much to pay for" WTF... your kidding me right??! I have never not left a tip until today. I should've left with a full stomach and a smile. Instead I left angry and disappointed. You can't have a good day with a bad attitude and you can't have a bad day with a good attitude. I would definitely come back here for the food, but service can definitely use some attention. My two cents: Fix your attitude and work on your service if you plan to be in the food service industry. If not, please find a different occupation. read more

Quality food and good, personable servers. Chicken fried steak is a specialty, and they do it right!! Can get very crowded on weekends!!

Definitely one of the more solid brunch places we've been to as far as food and drinks. Just prepare yourself for some grumpy servers. Hudson is small, so when we arrived for brunch there was a 20 minute wait. No worries though. We grabbed some coffee at the little coffee bar and tried to stay out of the way. There wasn't much room to wait since it was too cold to stand outside. We stuck to a wall and sucked in every time a waitress came by. No matter what, the waitresses seemed really annoyed at our presence and I felt bad but there was literally no where else to go. After being seated, our somehow even grumpier waitress came to take our order. We made our choices quickly and our food came out pretty quick as well. The Bloody Mary was perfect and the egg scramble with hash browns was really great too. Honestly if it weren't for the service this place would get 5 stars from me, but like so often in Seattle you can't have good food and good service. read more

Delicious food...great atmosphere. It is just busy enough to justly, but I have never had to wait to be seated.

Brunch review: Yah this place is worth it and I'm siked to go back and discover more. I had the shrimp and cheesy grits - and the presentation was really cute and the sauce was delicious. Kind of like an ettoufe' (sp?) My wife got the BELT - no complaints there - a good breakfast sammy option. There was a respectable 15-min wait at 1145 am on a Sunday. Self serve coffee and comfortable seating in/out while you wait. I probably could have grabbed a beer too - good local stuff on tap with standard and cocktail menu as well. Again, I'm excited to go back and explore more of the options and am glad I found the spot..the huevos rancheros looked phenomenal. read more

Finally came to Hudson to start off the weekend journey to central WA. We stopped in for breakfast around 0900 and found seats at the bar; all the tables were occupied. The bartender was friendly and welcoming. We were promptly served waters and given menus to peruse. I decided on the lincoln ave potatoes. OMG, absolute goodness! Perfectly cooked yukon gold potatoes, apples, onions, garlic (and a hell of a lot of it), and cheddar. I added the extra protein of an over-easy egg and bacon. My guy ordered the federal scramble: eggs, button mushrooms, tomatoes, spinach, and parmesan cheese all scrambled together for a delicious breakfast meal. We had a great first visit and look forward to coming back again! Y'all come down and enjoy some good food... read more

Had Sunday brunch for 3 this weekend. Put my name on the list at about 10:20AM, waited about 40 minutes. Good to check in with the host. Coffee available while you wait which was nice. Once seated the service was quick and we got our food quickly. Biscuits & gravy, brisket omelette and one other meal, everyone liked their food. Would definitely try again. read more

Brisket omelette and hash browns. So tasty!!! I arrived when they opened and was seated quickly . Service was quick and friendly. The portions were enormous and tasted amazing. Next time that i get to Seattle.... a guaranteed dining choice ! read more

Hudson - New American Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Went in for drinks but was refused service. Left after almost 20 minutes of waiting without acknowledgement.

We've come here a few times and it's a fairly solid spot for a heavy breakfast/brunch. They tend to get busy so if you're trying to get a seat during a prime time, expect to wait. Also, don't expect to have a meaningful conversation here, it's really loud. The last time I came in, I got the Eastsider (1 egg, 1 pancake, 1 veggie sausage). Before that, the Sodo (2 eggs, 2 veggie sausage, 2 pancakes). For being half the size of the Sodo, the Eastsider is pretty filling. The pancake has a bit more of a bite to it than other places but it isn't bad (gf doesn't like it). Nothing a little (or a lot) of syrup can't fix. Food takes a bit to come out. Service is much friendlier when you sit at the bar and not a table. Last time we came in the table and seats were dirty. Not a bad spot though! Definitely a gem in Georgetown. read more

The food is soooo good here. Everything we ordered was absolutely on point. Try the shrimp and grits or the huevos rancheros.

Good breakfast offerings, different than eggs and toast. Fast service, self service coffee station. 21 and older only. My go to if the breakfast tacos read more

Surely enough.. we are the locals in the area but yet have not discover this place til now. So glad we did. The food is awesome. Love their beef brisket omelette. Their hash brown is different but yet taste yummy. Would definitely come back now that we discover this gem. read more

Love it. Had an amazing Martini Espresso. No kids in here which is my kind of spot. Small and cozy. They have seasonal goods. Quick staff and service. Forgot what I got but it was a scramble with all kinds of peppers in it and cheese. read more

I stumbled upon Hudson on a late Friday morning on a jaunt back from downtown Seattle. My family and I were hungry, so I pulled up the Yelp app and saw that Hudson was located nearby and had pretty good reviews. We arrived around 11:15 AM and though it was pretty full, we were still able to get a booth. FOOD: Legit. We all enjoyed our food! - BELT: The bacon is some of the best I've ever had. Make sure you add avocado which is the icing on the cake. - FISH TACOs: My mom loved her fish tacos. Beware that the mango salsa is a tongue burner, so if you don't like ultra spicy sauce, you might try something else. - FISH & CHIPS: HUGE portions of cod - they make sure you get your money's worth. Both people who ordered this were pleased. SERVICE: Service was a little slow as there appeared to be only one waitress for the dining area. Our food came out at average speed, but it did take us a while to get our check. Our waitress was not very personable, but I don't necessarily expect top service at a diner. OVERALL: Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their dishes and I would definitely come back again. The menu has such a great variety; there's something for everyone! read more

Solid brunch spot with large portions and strong Bloody Marys. Had the brisket omelet, which was good but the brisket itself lacked any hint of smokiness and actually tasted almost sweet. Hash browns, seemingly so hard to get right for a simple dish, were done very nicely here. We shared the famous deep fried French toast, but I would say that was the low light of the meal. I'd come back at least once more to try the impressively large chicken fried steak. read more

This review is for their brunch service. Feeling some stayed-out-too-late, got-up-at-noon, hair-of-the-dog, thank-you-ma'am-I'll-have-another angst? Did you ride all night, get caught by the morning sun, and now you're all zombie-eyed on some crazy rock and roll third-wind, and you need somewhere that'll nurse you back to life with coffee, eggs, bacon and cheesy grits, and not give a damn if you wear your hat while you eat it and wash it down with a shot of rye? Or maybe you're just hungry. Whatever: You've frickin' arrived, friend. This is a south side breakfast, lunch and dinner go-to to for the local industrial workers, firemen, rave refugees (local warehouses around here are sometimes used as pop-up all-night dance halls), rockers and lost tourists. The Georgetown Morgue haunted house is just next door, making this a good staging area for fright-night fall entertainment- just be respectful. Food is diner fare, taken up a notch and served with a side of Zeppelin; Industrial-sized portions of diner classics, plus interesting specials. Fearsome appetites should look at the chicken-fried steak with its beautiful homemade gravy, or the massive brisket sandwich, while lighter appetites might opt for the flavorful Huevos Rancheros or Federal scramble. Omelets have generous goodies. Hash browns and fries are crisp, grits are cheesy, eggs are cooked perfectly to order, and drinks are generously poured. As it should be. They feature some good local taps, a few exotic bottles and some classic working-class brews from various parts of the country. Wine choices are curiously good, and appropriate for the food. Their cocktails are mostly traditional, with a few fun variants and specials. Service is good, no-nonsense and efficient, mimicking the hard-working, hard-rocking, industrial grit of the neighborhood. They keep it quite clean, which isn't easy and which I appreciate. Good joint! Just don't come in here looking for gastropub fluff, quiet gentile atmospheres, cloth napkins or foo-foo sugarplum-fairy cocktails. Remember my motto: Be where you're at, people. You're in Georgetown...so BE here. Recommended. read more

We were seated quickly, food was delicious but the waitress we had had the worst attitude. She was not welcoming, not interactive which was a disappointment because we were visitors in Seattle. Her mannerism was distasteful but at least the food wasn't. As a group we had the French toast, the crab cake Benedict which was a special, the scramble, the brisket omelet the Hudson breakfast, no complaints. read more

This used to be one of my favorite places to come to in Georgetown. The food was always great as was the service. My favorite was the Friday special Lamb Burger - so delicious! As of lately.. my last 2 visits... food also great but the service was not pleasant at all. Both visits was a different woman and both visits I received hardly any banter (a 180 degree difference from before even on super busy days), cold looks and tones when I was spoken to. Not welcoming at all and each time felt like the woman wanted me to leave. Each seemed irritated that I not only had ID but I was of age. It was very off putting and now that my favorite item is no longer on the menu I really think twice about coming in; even on other days of the week. Pretty sad too because the food is really good too. Hat tipped to the chefs! read more

The staff was great ! Cool atmosphere !! Food was tasty! I would come back and try other options !

I have taken my team here for HH a few times and recently for breakfast. The only reason I have is because of its location between SoDo and Georgetown. The food is nothing special. Service is pretty good and people are nice, but it's not very clean inside. If it were just me, I would never eat here. But for some reason, my staff seems to like it. read more

Great breakfast menu and sandwich choices .Great Fries . Excellent coffee . Good prompt service .

Off the beaten path but a great place to go eat for a big ass breakfast with good drinks and great service. Chicken fried steak is a must or the brisket omelette. read more

Hudson - New American Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Service is outstanding and menu has tons of variety. Every dish I have had has been extremely good. Bloody Mary with beer back, classic.

A lot of my friends are having babies and after moving from Cap Hill (Hipsters, More dogs than kids) to West Seattle (families everywhere), I was admittedly craving an adults-only brunch. Enter Hudson. A girlfriend picked Hudson because she was craving shrimp and grits, and I was thrilled to discover this gem. It's in a rather industrial (read: crummy area), so try your best to park in their lot or on the same street. I made the rookie mistake of parking down the block next to someone sleeping in their car :/ so that was a bit sketchy. Drinks: I ordered a Bloody Mary. It was solid, but it only came with 2 olives and not the extras that I like (cheese, bacon, etc...) but DID come with a side of beer. This evened things out and made me happy. Food: I ordered the "Bowl of Grits" and added cheese. Really tasty. Note: If you're looking for a kid-free brunch, this is a must! They don't allow anyone under the age of 21, including babies. read more
