    Chipotle Chicken Wrap
    Kaelyn B.

    Wait wasn't long. Very clean establishment. Waitress we had was nice and attentive. I got the Chipotle chicken wrap with waffle fries and a Very Berry Mimosa. The chicken wrap was tasty but the chicken needs more seasoning without all the other components of the wrap the chicken is flavorless. Those waffle fries are fried to perfection! Crispy and crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. Oh and yes their ranch is good too, not everyone has good tasting ranch. Mimosa didn't disappoint. You get a little cute bottle of Prosecco.

    Good brunch spot because you can make reservations ahead of time! The food was pretty good. Lots of options. The apple walnut stuffed French toast is pictured.

    We came here for brunch with some coworkers and the food was FAST. Price was decent. Overall the food was good. For how much Hudson Cafe is talked up, I was underwhelmed. The atmosphere was pleasant.

    Salmon Croquette & Eggs

    I keep trying with this place lol. The croquettes are not appetizing at all. Shrimp and grits are very good, but made with Cajun spices and has a kick. (Don't remember this on the menu description) Spicy isn't my thing so our waitress remade w/o any issues.

    If you're looking for a fun brunch spot this would be a great place to check out. The music was a vibe, the drinks and food were delicious! Everything we ordered was amazing! Portions are big enough to share for two. Our waitress was super friendly.

    We decided to try this place for brunch. Great prices for the portion sizes. Food was really good and fresh. Very friendly service. We had the berry bliss pancakes. Mushroom omelette ( hands down the best one I have ever had) chipotle chicken wrap which is one of their best sellers. Overall great experience, cozy vibes.

    Menu is huge, portions are a good size. Prices reflect currently & accurately for the times. Coffee is a little butter. Ambiance is busy, make a reservation or put your name down early. Service was very kind & fast.

    The food was great. The service was great. The food came out fast and was hot. The ambiance was nice as well.

    Birthday waffle

    It was absolutely great! Today is my birthday and they decided to give me a waffle for it and made my morning great! The food was good and the gluten free bread was tasty. My waitress Megan was super sweet.

    This was my first visit to the Troy MI location. I have only been to the Detroit location, which is situated across when the old Hudson building stood (hence the name). It was a busy Easter Sunday but we had made reservations and for a later time so everyone was just leaving. We did have to wait 10 minutes but it was expected on Easter. It's an open space with high ceilings which makes up for its limited space. Our server got us our drinks and took our orders. I ordered coffee but they don't have flavored creamer and the server didn't offer a flavor shot so I wasn't impressed with my only option of half and half. For my breakfast, I opted for the Red Velvet Pancakes which is my fave from the other location, with a side of bacon. The bacon arrived very warm, which doesn't always happen at brunch joints because they typically make it ahead of time and leave it in a holding pan. The pancakes were not dry, which is nice, but they didn't put any of the cream cheese topping in between the pancakes so I had to ask for extra. Yes, it's very much like a red velvet cupcake when it's all said and done but that's what I like when I want something sweet for brunch. Everyone enjoyed their breakfast choices but nothing really hit home as a stand out. I'm sure we'll return to try out some of the other options.

    I have visited the Hudson Café's downtown location, but this was my first time at the Troy location. The roasted beet salad was very filling and full of flavor, and the side of pita bread was fluffy and so good! I thought the portions were very reasonable for the pricing. My friend ordered the eggs Benedict and said it was delicious! Our server, Heather, was attentive and accommodating, and was very knowledgeable about gluten-free options for my friend, which was so reassuring. The menu has such great variety and I want to try so many things, including the gluten-free berry French toast next time! The atmosphere is quaint and beautifully decorated, and the restaurant was very clean!

    I love the decor here

    I've eaten at the location downtown many years ago, and haven't been back because it's just so far. When I heard they were opening one up in Troy, I was excited because it's way closer and I can visit here more often. Since it's been a minute since I've eaten here, I had to re-acquaint myself with the menu. But, I do remember having a great experience at the one downtown, so I walked in mostly knowing what to expect. Well, mostly, sort of. I chose to come in on a Thursday morning instead of a weekend day to avoid any crowds. I read and heard that reservations are preferred which kind of put me off visiting sooner because I wasn't interested in booking ahead of time. So, this morning I finally said what the heck, tried to book a reservation and it wouldn't let me! Kind of annoying and confusing, but whatever. So, I drove over to see if they were even open on this nice Thursday and they were. thank goodness! They said the reservations are usually for busier times like weekend brunches and such. good to know! I reviewed the menu at home and was already set on what dish I wanted, but I love the selection of food they have here. They're a breakfast & lunch place, which is totally my scene. I wanted to try one of their more signature dishes, so I ordered the Huevos Rancheros. This is my favorite breakfast dish WHEN DONE CORRECTLY. Most places don't make it very good and it comes out tasting and looking like slop. NOT HERE! The hudson cafe makes it right! The only other place in town that cooks it well is Jagged Fork. and now Hudson Cafe! It came out in a skillet and was absolutely fabulous. I literally made a huge mess eating it. Thank goodness it was early, hardly anyone was there and I was eating alone. I got through most of it and had a few extra potatoes leftover at the end. They use green sauce here instead of a red hot sauce like Jagged Fork does, but it still tastes absolutely fantastic. It's a very hearty serving, so go here hungry when eating. Portions are worth the price. I paid by card at my table which was lovely. My breakfast was about $15, but I think they charged me extra since it rang up at $16.72 or something. I left a big tip, so my total was a little over $20. They also have mimosa's here along with a wonderful drink list both alcoholic and non alcoholic which is nice. I am so glad this place is here, and I'll be returning in the future.

    After driving by this place a million times I finally decided to drop in for brunch with a friend. We came on a Saturday and it was pretty busy, but that was to be expected. I put my name down on the list but the wait was only like 10-15 minutes so overall not bad at all for a packed restaurant. I attempted to try to go for a healthy option, but all bets were off when I saw the cinnamon roll pancakes. They were delicious and not too sweet. In addition we ordered a bagel, yogurt bowl, scrambled eggs and grits with cheese. The food was lovely and the portion sizes are very good. You may find yourself asking for a to go box. Our sever was super kind and attentive as well which was a plus. In Addition, I parked in the structure as it's more than likely going to be your best bet as it has lots of spaces and trying to park directly in front of the restaurant seems to always be full. Overall tho I really liked my meal here and would love to come back.

    The Maurice salad was huge and very tasty. Price was fine BUT $5 for a cup of coffee that was never refilled is outrageous.

    This is probably my favorite breakfast spot, it's cute and welcoming. They have organized chaos…read morewith the wait times. The only chaos is because they're so busy from open till close, so expect a wait time. There is another location too that is just as good, just parking is easier here. If you come for breakfast/brunch you won't be disappointed. I haven't tried the lunch style dishes. They do have a parking lot and there's a lot of space at the restaurant next-door as well as street parking. As many times as I've been to here, I typically sit up at the bar, they do you have multiple tables as well as outdoor seating. There are a variety of breakfast libations and beer. I typically get a variety of omelettes and I've never been disappointed. On my most recent visit I tried a steak skillet and the steak was seasoned well, it was tender with the eggs and vegetable mix. The breads are from Zingerman (Wonderful) and I've noted homemade jam. We Always leave happy and full. My only downside is there is 2 bathrooms and I am pretty sure the ladies room does not lock. So please do knock! Until they finally decide to fix this(it's been well over a year thou haha)

    I went here today for the first time with a friend and both waitservice and the food were very…read moregood. We sat on their patio which was also nice, and they had the doors open to the inside too (so even if you sit inside you get a breeze). I was originally going to get the Cuban sandwich but the potato pancakes were too tempting to ignore, so I got those (four is a full serving, btw, and two is a half serving) plus added on bacon. The potato pancakes were very good - not the best I've ever had but nice and thick - and I was impressed by the applesauce/apple topping offered, as it was also thick, plus the sour cream was also tasty. The bacon was also delicious but pricey, like $7 for four pieces. My friend got one of their bowls and a side of toast, and enjoyed it. I saw on their menu they use Zingerman's bread, which is always good, too. Small pet peeve: it's cheaper to pay with cash than with a credit card, on a $22-ish bill there was like a 60c difference so I still used my cc. I always prefer restaurants bake those fees into the meal prices. Other than that, I'd love to come back for brunch and have pancakes or something more breakfast-y (I'm not a big eggs fan). The decor was super cute too, and the bathroom was clean. There is parking in the back but beware - for some reason they have two rows, back to back, and we got backed in but luckily my friend is a parking pro and got us out.
