We stopped by Hudson Cafe in Northville on a busy Saturday morning, and I was glad we had made a reservation. The place was packed, but the staff did a great job keeping things moving and seating people quickly. Service was friendly and efficient, and the food was solid overall. The portions were generous, so you definitely won't leave hungry. My skillet was flavorful, but it wasn't served as hot as I would have liked, and the sauce was a little heavy-handed, which overpowered some of the other flavors. Overall, it was a good experience. I'd come back if I were in the area, but I have a pretty high bar for breakfast spots. I'd put Hudson Cafe in the same general category as First Watch. It offers reliable, good-quality breakfast with generous portions, even if it doesn't quite stand out as a destination breakfast spot.
I love this spot for breakfast or lunch . The food and service is always top tier. This is a good spot for friends and family. A nice clean breakfast or anytime spot .
Had a great breakfast at Hudson Cafe! The staff and the portions are always amazing. I definitely recommend making a reservation!
The food here is delicious!! I went for breakfast a few times and my experiences have always been great. I recently dined in and ordered a vegetarian omelette with pancakes and fruit. Great food, service, and staff.
Decent breakfast spot. The best thing we had was the churro French toast. I also liked the potatoes. Everything else was ok. We started off with coffee which was decent. We had the Baja breakfast omelet, huevos rancheros, and a cinnamon roll pancake in addition. The pancake was nice and fluffy however I did not think it had enough cinnamon flavor - it was very bland. Our service was great - quick and attentive. We were seated quickly around 10am on the weekend. It's a nice breakfast spot with solid food but nothing I'm dying to come back for.
Generous portion came out quickly. Fresh fruit, creamy yogurt, and crunchy granola- what's not to love? Delicious. Can't wait to return and try the Hudson's salad. Nostalgic.
The food here is very tasty! The portions are large and the service has been consistently good. Greeted by a nice person upon entering and seated quickly. This was a busy day even though the weather was a bit frightening. I do recommend making on-line reservations to ensure your seating. A couple of issues on this visit. Listed on the kitchen specials, they mention two entrees that have blue cheese crumbles, I asked for some for my Hudson salad and was told they don't have any. This confused me. I am not sure If they are exclusively for those two entrees, the server was possibly mistaken, or they can't use the item for any other purpose. It just seemed odd. My Hudson salad arrived without turkey, I noticed it and the kind waitstaff brought the turkey so I was able to dump it on the salad. Unfortunately, the salad did come with a blond hair. I was so happy another person in my party noticed it on my fork before it entered my mouth. The French toast was very pleasant but I wasn't sure if the price of 16.00 was right for this entree. It seemed like a lot for what you get. I do appreciate the warm syrup! That's a nice touch. We tried the house made Corned beef hash and it was as delicious. Overall, the meal was good, the service was also pleasant even though they were busy. I give credit to the service team for being nice with a lot of customers. This visit wasn't as spectacular as my last, but still a sound experience.
The staff was great. The noise level was low and it wasn't busy since went later in the afternoon and they spaced everyone so you weren't next to other people. We were greeted from when we walked in by each staff and when we left. The food was great we told the server we were splitting the food and she told the chefs we were splitting the dishes. She brought the food already split evenly for us. We ordered the Downtown Club with Waffle Fries and the Hudson Salad (my favorite salad). Everything came out great. You were alike to taste all the flavors in the sandwich. They had all the ingredients evenly spread throughout the sandwich didn't get an empty section of bread. The salad amazing like always the Maurice dressing just makes the salad oh so good! Great service and taste!
We went here for breakfast and the place was busy! Service was fast! Menu has a large variety. Reservations can be made ahead of time online. Food portions are a good size! Place is large and they have a separate area for large groups too!
Excellent service, no waiting, the staff was super friendly, from the time you walked in until they sat you. There are so many food choices for breakfast and lunch. Their serving sizes was more than enough. The atmosphere was super friendly, not too loud, very cozy and friendly, I highly recommend it that you try it. We will be returning.
Service was a real star of our experience at The Hudson Cafe. We were greeted warmly and service was very attentive. Our server offered recommendations, refilled beverages and overall tried to make sure we had a wonderful experience. I tried the chai latte and it was very, very good - one of the best I've ever had and very flavorful. For my breakfast entree, I tried the bacon jam crepe, which had Brie, prosciutto, bacon, and a bacon habanero jam. It was tasty but pretty rich, so I might try something different on my next visit. The other members of my party ordered the Voodoo Benny and the Berry-Stuffed French Toast. I was impressed by some of the more unusual breakfast options and appreciated the care taken with both presentation and ingredients. With such a diverse menu, I can't wait to go back and try something new. Overall, a great breakfast option.
Came here for brunch with my friend. We shared the avocado toast, strawberry nutella crepe, and a side of their potatoes. The avocado toast was mediocre. The avocado doesn't taste fresh -- more like avocado spread that I have gotten from Costco. The crepe was very fresh and had the perfect amount of Nutella. It was definitely my favorite. To my surprise, the potatoes were well seasoned and cooked perfectly!
This place is always packed! Luckily, they are one of the few brunch places I know that take reservations, and I was able to get a party of 10 in without any issues. Our waitress was very nice and willing to split the bill several ways, which is always appreciated in larger groups. The food is great as always - the smores French toast is absolutely delicious, and the omelets are perfectly fluffy and stuffed. This is a great brunch spot!
Our first stop in Novi after checking into our hotel was a breakfast stop. While driving around, we found this restaurant. It still served breakfast when most places had switched to lunch. (There are lunch options available). My mom ordered the two eggs, grits, Canadian bacon and toast. She enjoyed her meal! My nephew ordered the Oreo pancakes and it was honestly too much for him. Although he enjoyed the flavor. I tasted it and it was delicious! I went with lunch and ordered the wings and waffle fries. The waffle fries were some of the best I had. The wings were seasoned well. My only issue was a few wings had a dark color like the wing was injured and the meat had turned due to dried up blood. (I wish the chef had noticed and not served these ones.) Overall, it was a good breakfast and somewhere I'd return if in town again. read more

Great brunch spot, food is always good. The choice of fresh fruit they had when we went wasn't the best selection but that's okay!! it's a smaller restaurant so it takes a minute to get sat on busier days. server was so sweet and took the fruit off the bill when she noticed we weren't a fan! read more

My husband and I love this spot for a yummy breakfast date! Busy on Saturday mornings but they always squeeze us in. Food is super delicious. Oh and their coffee is probably the best I've ever drank. I just enjoyed black bc it was so good. read more
It was the middle of the week so I was surprised to see a packed parking lot at this new restaurant. Inside, the restaurant was equally full so I was grateful there was a free table available. I had already taken a look at the menu a day earlier and had intended on ordering either the Apple Walnut French Toast or one of my brunch go-tos, an eggs benedict. However, I took another peek at the menu and spotted a club sandwich - on sliced bread. Exactly how my dad makes them. So of course, I went with that instead, with the sweet potato fries. The club sandwich was enormous and included the usual ingredients: turkey slices, bacon, tomato, and lettuce. As well, it also included little touches like guacamole and sriracha-flavored mayo. Yum! I would be remiss if I did not mention the service. Both the host and the server were fabulous. I had forgotten the joy of eating out, as I usually order takeout. I was grateful for the kind suggestions and appreciated how the server anticipated my needs (take-out box, refill, check). The only drawback was the noise; it was difficult to converse. I plan to return for some of the other items on the menu: Hudson salad, BLT...EGG, roasted beet salad. There are so many choices! read more

still too busy for its own good, but good food will do that. Reservations is almost a must. Still a little noisy for everyone in a large party to ear the other end of the table, but our small party didn't have a problem. Limited menu but wide enough to find a few things you will have to choose from. Typical breakfast items along with sandwiches and salads. Does serve alcohol for those who want that before 3 PM, their closing time. I got my normal, Monte Cristo Sandwich and it was good there and warmed up the next day. I didn't want to pay extra for a side so that was my lunch. Others really enjoyed their choices. Parking close can be a little problem so be prepared to walk a little if needed. I might try them during the week instead of a weekend to see if the noise level is better and the parking also read more
Meh. Not terrible, not great, just mediocre. Atmosphere feels lifeless, not lively. Food tastes average, uninspired. It's sorta like eating cafeteria hot plate food. Any diner "wowed" by this type of mediocrity needs to get out there and start trying a whole bunch of different restaurants and eateries. Overall assessment: not worth your time or money when there are dozens upon dozens of far better alternatives nearby. read more
Food...delicious! Service...great! Ambiance...nice. Sunday brunch with my girlfriends. We picked a great spot. We all enjoyed our omelettes. I didn't have the hash or the potatoes, but both looked good, especially the hash. I'll have to try that next time. The grits....oh the grits! They must use cream when they cook them, they were soooo creamy. I could've used a little more cheese, but that's just me (there's no such thing as too much cheese). And the pancakes....so light and fluffy! There's served with warm syrup, too. That's a nice touch. We definitely have a new brunch spot. I recommend making reservations read more

Now Hudson Cafe y'all know yall are wrong. Today I ordered blueberry pancakes, turkey sausage and cheesy grits. The grits were good. But the rest was lacking. The turkey sausage was very thin. I would say as flat as a pancake but these pancakes were huge and thick. However they were lacking in the flavor department & they were just not great. The best thing was the grits. But overall the service and waiter and the area was all nice. Some other areas need to be improved. The Detroit location downtown is 10x better. read more

Right out the gate, I need to say: MAKE A RESERVATION!!! They're on open table. You will thank me! It was an hour wait but 5-10 for us until I snagged open seats at the bar. This place is hoppin! Settled where Applebees used to be @ 6 & Haggerty is the newest location for Hudson Cafe. I must admit; the one in Detroit is still the O.G but this place has the potential to be fantastic. They get their liquor license MONDAY 3/13!!!!! Alright, here's the review: scrumptious food and coffee. Cappuccino with caramel syrup was divine. My friend had a bit of a hangover and wanted something less sweet (lots of martinis the night before) so the waitress suggested a latte. Delicious and just what she needed. The staff members were so accommodating and delightful Food: I'm gluten free and the Detroit location takes very good care of us GF folk. I must say, I was a bit disappointed to find we had such a small selection. But it's better than nothing! And oh my goodness was the Very Berry French Toast good. Parking and Facility: shares a lot with Einstein bagels and a steakhouse. It can get quite limited on parking but it wasn't terrible at 11am on a Saturday. You would have never known this place was an Applebees. The inside is bright, chic, and modern. My only recommendation is changing up the faucets in the bathrooms. They're those tall not-so-curved faucets that will continuously splash onto the counter so it's always soaked in there. Reminded me of a late night at a bar where the entire sink is a wet. I will say someone asked me if anyone else was in there after I left the bathroom because they wanted to go make sure everything was stocked! We appreciate you! Dress: dress down, dress up, not to worry. I have been in yoga pants & a hoodie, as well as cute brunch attire. But bring your fat pants read more

The food was so so good! We walked in and were greeted nicely, and sat. Our server was very blunt with us, which happens occasionally because my boyfriend and I are younger. We are both servers and hate being treated like we aren't going to tip because we are the complete opposite. Prices are expensive but the portions you get are worth it! We had savory crepes and benedict! Their drinks look delicious, we didn't order any but plan on coming back soon to try them. read more
I took my parents to brunch on a Monday at around 11am which was great because we were able to get seated right away. The food was fresh, hot, and well presented. We ordered the veggie omelet, graham cracker French toast and the traditional. Everyone was pleased, and we'll definitely be back! read more
The food was great, the pancake was not as good as the ones I had at the Detroit location. My veggie + bacon (large chunks) omelette was moist and full of ingredients! Half the plate was full of potatoes but they are not seasoned at all so be prepared to add salt/pepper/ketchup etc (overall, I didn't care for the potatoes) and would've preferred some greens/salad instead. My friend got the huevos rancheros which she said was pretty good and my other friend got the BLT which was "fine". There is a full bar with about 6 or 7 seats and I saw a bunch of tables outside but it wasn't open for seating yet. I could see this being a fun place for Sunday brunch with cocktails. I think they may be short staffed as there was a lot of confusion about our order and a wrong dish. They have Lavazza coffee which is my favorite but I had to wait a while for a refill. But overall, I am happy to have this breakfast/brunch option in Northville and will be back! read more
I was at the downtown location several years ago and I really liked it, so I was glad to read (on Facebook!) that they'd opened a location in Northville. It's in the shopping center at 6 Mile & Haggerty. From what a server said, they have just opened. I didn't have a reservation, but I was seated right away. I had a tough time choosing between corned beef hash, portobello mushroom omelette and the Thanksgiving omelette. I settled on the portobello mushroom omelette. I love that your choices are potatoes, grits or fruit and pancakes or toast. In my mind, that's as it should be; too many places make me choose between pancakes and potatoes, but I want both! The omelette was good, although maybe a tad undercooked for my taste. Of course, it could have just been the moisture from the vegetables. The potatoes were wonderful -- little cubes of crispy goodness. And the buttermilk pancakes were perfect, and served with hot syrup. My server was also very good and friendly, albeit a bit overwhelmed. But she did a great job and made sure I had what I needed. They are a bit overpriced, but this is also not a diner. Most of the breakfast entrees were about $15.50, and beverages ran $3.50. On the other hand, the serving size is generous, so it's easy to get 2 meals out of it. And I will definitely return to try the other 2 entrees. read more
