Since Hudson is now a destination for fine food, with places to eat all over the center surrounding the rotary (a source of amusement for those if us watching the snail crawl by cars creeping around it) we chose the Flat Bread Trail Trail to dinner. It was great. My love and I had salads. Mine was the Honey Beat, a mountain of greens hiding generous helping of beets, soft tiny marshmallow sized goat cheese pieces, currants, chunks of apple with a delicate honey ranch just enough to coat everything. Outstanding. My partner had a honey mustard chicken salad with lots of greens, pita wedges, tomato, with a honey mustard dressing. The brown ale I had was low key and full of nutty flavor. But everything we eat out, it's the server who makes the experience. Kayleigh was excellent, happy, friendly, unobtrusive. This is a shout out for her. For the health conscious, they scrub and sanitize every table when patrons leave. This is a great restaurant! read more

This place is great. The food is phenomenal ,especially the tater tots. The burger was just right. The server had a great personality and the food took under 20 minutes in a packed restaurant. Hard to do. read more

Really enjoyed this place. Great interior and it looked liked there was plenty of seating. I enjoyed the pizza variety on the menu, the meatball one was amazing. Our server was great too! read more

Gave it a second try and was much better! They have an extensive craft beer list and the pizzas are unique and delicious. The steak and cheese one was my favorite read more

Best pizza and love their salads too. Service is great. Always check in with table to ask your needs. The ambiance is fun at the bar or cozy at a table or booth. read more

I never thought I'd have pizza with brussels sprouts, but I did and it was amazing. Get it! This place was seriously busy on a Wednesday night, so we were fortunate we were only a table of 2 and got seated within about 15 minutes. Larger tables were waiting 30-45mins or more- and I definitely wouldn't recommend bringing more than 4 people here. Our server was really nice and pleasant in an understated way. You know how you sometimes get those servers who are all like, "HI!!!! Welcome to our place!!! Is this your first time?! It *IS*?! You're going to LOVE it!!!!"- but then they end up being pretty good servers after all so you set aside the way-too-much-coffee energy in the name of a great experience. Well, our server was pretty calm and chill, which at first made me nervous that things might take a while, but she proved me wrong and was a stellar server, and made great recommendations on both food and beer. Bravo! As for food - we only got flatbread, and I had mine split between the one with corn & brussels sprouts and the one with strawberry & rhubarb. I much preferred the veggie side. The strawberry and rhubarb was also good, but very sweet. I'll definitely be making plans to come back here and try more flatbreads! read more

Food was terrible, drinks were terrible, and the place smelled weird and made us nauseous. Not to mention it was super excited

If there were 6 stars, I'd give them that. Love the atmosphere, their flatbread pizzas are fantastic, and I've never had an entrée or appetizer that I wouldn't recommend (although I usually stick with their signature flatbread pizzas). They recently expanded, so getting a table isn't usually a concern (just to be safe, they do take reservations). The staff are consistently friendly. It's more restaurant speed than pizzeria speed, so plan your time accordingly. Street parking is hit-or-miss, so you might have to walk a few blocks (they also have parking lots behind the restaurant on the next street over). In the unlikely event that you have any room left after the meal, they also own the ice cream shop across the street. read more

Just amazing!!! Every time I come here is just top notch. You need to make the Plantain Nachos a reality again. read more

We wanted to try Rail Trail last year when we were in town to visit family but the wait was too long. We were finally able to try it today thanks to their super simple online ordering system. We ordered in advance and got a text when our food was ready - right on time! Pick up was super easy and they were able to add a pint of ice cream to my order without me having to pull my credit card out. We got the honey beet salad which was great. Dressing came on the side which is always appreciated for takeout and I always forget to ask for it that way. We got a plain flatbread for the kids that they loved. We got a farmers market and a Mexican street corn for the adults. Both were great but the Mexican street corn was the star. We will definitely order again. read more

The rail trail is a wonderful experience. Do not be intimidated by the menu. Some of the things seem a little strange, but if you are daring, they taste wonderful. read more

In a time when food quality is sadly suffering to help fray loss of revenue, the quality here is outstanding! Greek salad was beyond fresh and Mexican street corn pizza was amazing! read more

Great food, great wings, excellent menu and solid service. Will continue to frequent.

Yet another take out order mistake. Staff is overwhelmed, kitchen is chaotic, I waited almost 1/2 hour over my pick up time for take out and they got the order wrong. This can't be just me. I've had more issues with take out then positive experiences. Very $$$ for what you get. read more

Went out dinner the other night to meet up with some old friends and it was very busy on a Thursday night! I got there around 6:40 pm and the wait was around 20 minutes for 3 people. While I was waiting, a bunch more people came up and at one point I overheard the hostess tell a couple that it would be a 40 minute wait for them. They had an electronic queue where they text you but I don't think it was working that night cause I only got a text from the device 2 hours after I first entered the device. So it was a good thing I waited in the restaurant. They have some interesting items on the menu and a lot of items are either gluten free or vegetarian/vegan which is always nice to see, even though I don't have any dietary restrictions. My friends and I shared the carnitas nachos and a large Hawaiian flatbread. The nachos were interesting, instead of tortilla chips they used fried plantain strips. Strips were kinda on the long side, which made it harder to scoop and eat without dropping toppings all over yourself. It was very tasty though but I did get a mouthful of mostly fatty meat which I personally don't enjoy but that's a personal preference. The flatbread was very very good, the right amount of sauce, cheese and toppings. My friends and I devoured and finished it all! The one complaint I have is that their water glasses are on the small side (kinda about the size of a styrofoam cup) and I was thirsty! I ended up waiting a couple of times with an empty cup, and I really hate flagging down waiters & waitresses because it feels rude! They're also super busy, which doesn't help. Parking: street parking/find parking in the public parking lots in the area. Definitely took a while before I found a spot as the area was busy in the evening. read more

I love going here, the environment is great, location is great, service is great, and the food is great. No complaints here. Last time I went I got their "hot tots" for appetizers, and they're great and very filling too. We got a small flatbread that was half "Mexican street corn" and half "smoked brisket fajita". The Mexican street corn is my go-to!! read more

Went to rail trail flatbread co. last night with my husband and we had a great experience. Our waitress was attentive and so friendly; wish I got her name. I had the red sangria which was nice and not too sweet. My husband had the Sip of Sunshine beer which he always loves and another red ale which he didn't love since it was made with macerated cherries. We started off with the buffalo cauliflower which is the best I've ever had (forgot to snag a pic!). It's perfectly coated in batter, not too greasy, topped with a tangy & spicy buffalo sauce, and finished with their homemade blue cheese dressing which is insanely delicious. They also top it with house-made pickled celery which is a nice twist. We then shared the large chicken bacon ranch flatbread. So good! Fried chicken bits, big pieces of bacon, scallion, ranch, cheese, roasted red peppers and caramelized onions. The edges of the crust are a bit charred, which I can see being a problem for some people, but we love it well done so didn't mind. You can just tell all of their ingredients are top notch and a lot are made in house which I love. Ended up taking half home since it was enormous. Not the cheapest night out at $65 but worth it for the quality in our opinion. read more

My son and I saw the sign on the highway and decided to give it a try. So glad we did!! Located in a nice downtown area, there is plenty of free parking. The man who seated us was very friendly. Diverse menu. We selected the fig flatbread and a non-alcoholic blueberry spritz cocktail. Both were absolutely delicious. We finished with the PB mousse brownie. Yummy!! If we lived closer to this great restaurant, we would definitely be regulars. read more

The food at Rail Trail is always excellent...as is the service. Always appreciate that they keep changing up the menu seasonally, so there is always something to go back. The place has a great vibe, too. We go there for dinner on our own, but it's also a place that we take friends when getting together. Never is anyone disappointed. read more

I had the Fig & Walnut Flatbread, This is TOTALLY AWESOME! Light, not heavy. A percent blend of texture and flavor levels. I know, I went straight to the food in this review, but I was excited. The place is adorable. Comfy feeling and service was great. Oh ya, the look of the brick oven with the wood fire in it just adds to the charm. Price is a bit up there, but worth it. read more

Really amazing beer selection and unique menu. Lots to choose from. Pizza is not traditional slice; they cut it into smaller tavern pieces. Definitely want to come back, but service was tough when it's super busy. read more

Came here on a week night and it was a full house! We ordered a large pizza but was told we can split it in half so we can have different toppings on each side of the pizza. We decided to go with hawaiian and steak and cheese pizza. We also had a burger with onion rings. The pizza was crispy and flat which is why they call it flatbread instead of pizza. Hawaiian was good, a lot of toppings. The steak and cheese was ok, there wasn't a steak piece on each slice of the pizza so I'd have just bell peppers and cheese on a few slices. The burger was really good, not too greasy. However, the onion rings were really greasy and sloppy, the batter falling apart; I didn't even bother finishing it. Overall, the food was ready pretty quickly as we can see sitting right in front of the oven and kitchen area but the service took so long. We had to wait a while even though the food was just sitting on the counter ready to be served. read more

I like coming here because the food is really good. Today I got a RT Burger. It was cooked to perfection and the onion rings were phenomenal. The only thing is the service is subpar. Every time I go I hope it will be different. We went during lunch so I expected it to be busy. It wasn't too bad when we arrived, but still we sat at our table for about 15 minutes before our server came over to take drink orders. Another 15 minutes before she came back to get our food order, it still wasn't too busy. Food came out relatively fast in about 20 minutes but when we wanted the check that also took an absurd amount of time. It seemed like she just disappeared for 10 minutes to get the check. I was with a group of friends and we probably will be back but the service speed needs to be improved significantly. read more

This place is pretty damned good. Top notch beer selection. Well done pizza and apps. The wings are not as exciting as they seem and the portion is small b ut that was the only disappointment so far. Have tried pizza and calamari and brussel sprout salad and so many beers. Definitely worth a visit. read more

Amazing food and ambience. I went there with my family and everyone loved it. Tater tots is a MUST.

Always great food and good service. I love the salads and pizzas. There are dairy free pizzas available. I don't think I have ever had a meal there I didn't like. Definitely a favorite! read more

Their food is always delicious, consistent, and fast! I usually get their farmers market pizza that's meatless and it's always freshly made. read more

Loved the food ! I had went there a couple days ago with my family, the gluten free options are extremely helpful since it's hard to find any location that can accommodate my son's allergies . read more

Pro tip: make a reservation on the busier nights - this place can get packed! And it's definitely for good reason, the Rail Trail is one of my favorite restaurants in Massachusetts. It's located in Downtown Hudson, and it's right across the street from their ice cream spot, the New City Microcreamery. My favorite thing to do is grab dinner at Rail Trail and then get a scoop from New City to end the night. The Rail Trail has incredible options - gluten free pizzas, vegetarian dishes, dozens of beers to choose from. I am never bored here! I try to order something new every time but I tend to go back to my favorites every now and again: -The Hawaiian Pizza (TO DIE FOR) -The Hot Tots - must have! -Calamari (best app ever!) -Farmer's Market Pizza (better than the meat pizzas, I'm serious...) And of course, their drinks are incredible too. I can't say good enough things about the rail trail. Pricing is fair, portions are good, ambiance is cozy and inviting, and the service can't be beat! Make it a point to stop by if you're in the area - I honestly drive there at least once a week, I'm obsessed! read more

Food was great! Casual and tasty. I had the salad with grilled chicken and my friends had the flat bread pizzas. All were great and service was very good and we even had separate checks on a Saturday afternoon! Will be returning! read more

It's the third or fourth time eating there. They always nail it! I had sweet potato hummus appetizer which is fenomenal for those who desires a vegan option, plus a flatbread with vegan cheese, caramelized onions, mushrooms and impossible meat. It was my husband's birthday but it seamed that I got the treats! They service is right on time and friendly. The air inside of the restaurant is filled with the smells of the pizza ovens and so inviting! It has become our favorite suburban restaurant. read more

The pizza at Rail Trail is unique in its toppings as well as its crust, which is very thin and, in my experience, a bit burnt. I know plenty of people who love the Rail Trail, but overall it's not for me. read more

This pizza is incredible! So much flavor in every bite and they tend to rotate their menu by season so depending on the time of year, you can try different unique pizza creations. I've tried many of them so far and have never been disappointed. My personal favorite that seems to be a main stay on the menu is the "Lamb Jam". Love Rail Trail! read more

I've always been a fan of rail trail. I work nearby and this is our go to for department luncheons. When not on the clock, I come with friends to enjoy a flight sampling their respectable craft beer selection. While a bit pricy, the food is great: you definitely get what you pay for. Today I ordered on uber eats and it took so long for them to find a driver that I didn't get my food until over 2 hours later and I was bummed that my meal would probably be cold (no fault of Rail Trail). When the driver (finally) arrived, he had 2 boxes. Without any prompting, Rail Trail remade my meal after the first one got cold and gave me both. This absolutely made my day and turned a negative experience (again, uber eats fault) into a positive one. Uber Eats gets no stars, but Rail Trail gets five for sure! read more

This restaurant has a very nice environment, good food and friendly staff. I came at lunch on a Wednesday around 3 and it was relatively empty. I had the szechuan meatballs which was 6 medium-large sized meatballs and a great sambal oelek hot sauce (I'm not a hot sauce fan but this was pretty good!) I also had the fig-walnut flatbread with prosciutto. It was very good. The half portion would have been perfect for 1 if I hadn't had an appetizer. It is a BIT pricey. An app and a flatbread came out to $33 and I something to drink on top of that. You get what you pay for, and this place is worth checking out. Cheers. read more

Always a great meal, menu never ceases to surprise and amaze and the staff is always courteous!

They nail the pies that are hard to do well, including the ODB (Buffalo chicken) and Hawaiian (complete with BBQ pulled pork). Sweet, attentive staff. Can't wait to return. read more

Great flatbreads (don't use the P word). Young hipster atmosphere. Very good craft beer selections often rotating. Comfortable bar and booths. Staff is knowledgeable about beer also (not many places like that). The flatbreads are truly gourmet, made in the brick oven visible to all. Only drawback is how crowded it gets. Wait for table during busy hours can be long. Recommend visiting at off hours. During peak hours suggest ordering takeout, then take flatbreads down the street to Medusa, drinking their excellent beers. No wait when takeout is picked up! read more
