    Cornbread
    Helen Z.

    I've had brunch, lunch, and dinner at this cafe, and never had a bad meal. The drinks are also great as it's owned by a brewery. I haven't had anything disappointing here (other than the one over salted steak), but would particularly recommend the cornbread with maple butter, the mushrooms/mushroom toast, eggs Benedict, overnight oats (the earl grey one was really good when it was on the menu), and we had a delicious peach and tomato salad as well. During the day when they are serving breakfast and lunch you order at the counter and pick your food up. It's more of a sit down service during dinner.

    Excellent breakfast served by the restaurants friendly staff. Located in a former mill building in sleepy Hudson, MA. A nice find!

    Mushroom Toast
    Ann E.

    Met my friend here for lunch since it was about half way between our houses. Very bright and welcoming restaurant with an interesting menu. You order your food and drinks at the counter and then listen for them to call your name when your food is ready. It didn't take long, at all! They have specialty coffees, juices, hot & cold tea, sodas, draft beer from Medusa Brewing Company, wine & some cocktails. I had seltzer with a splash of lemonade. My friend had a Pomegranate mock tail. We couldn't decide what to get, so we shared two lunch items. The Mushroom Toast was very flavorful and the Double Dog Dare Ya Wild Hare of the Dog was delicious. I particularly liked the tomato jam and cheese sauce on it. The bread on both was supper fresh. It came with a side of house greens. Perfect size lunch for the two of us. We sat for a long time socializing without being rushed out the door. It is located in a building with other businesses. Large parking lot and shared restroom. So glad I chose Wild Hare for lunch today. Would not hesitate to return if in the area. Recommended without hesitation.

    All the food is delicious. All of it. And the staff is positively delightful. For breakfast and lunch it's a delicious thoughtful menu that hits in a the right ways. Breakfasts, toasts, treats, hot bevvies and, of course, beers. For dinner, it's spendy, fancy table service that checks all the boxes and leaves your wallet lighter, but it feels well spent. And they've got some special reserve beers that you can't get down the street at Medusa. Definitely one of my favorite spots for brunch.

    Long overdue review, have enjoyed many wonderful experiences at Wild Hare over the past couple years. Cafe breakfast/lunch is on-point; Benedict-in-a-hole and mushroom toast are excellent options from the regular lineup, but keep an eye out for the seasonal rotations and weekly specials, such as a PHENOMENAL parsnip waffle pictured below. Dinner is only served Thu, Fri and Sat, and carries a different vibe. Full-service, closer to what might be described as "fine dining" in terms of presentation and price point. Menu changes frequently, ~8 tapas-style sharing plates with a mix of vegetarian and meat dishes featuring seasonal ingredients. And do not sleep on the cornbread appetizer - super moist and rich interior, nicely crisp griddled exterior, served with decadent maple butter. Latest weekly menu featured an incredible ube gnocchi, exemplifying the creativity and craft of the kitchen team in a well-executed fusion dish. Whether it's the cafe hosts/baristas at the counter, or the servers during dinner, service is exceptional. And the interior decor/ambience carries elegance and grace while simultaneously being cozy and inviting for a quick stop or casual get-together. Lovely patio seating when weather permits.

    Tofu bowl
    Greg W.

    Really relaxed, if small, place with great vegetarian options and service. The protein itself was pretty good but their spices and sauces are what take it up a notch. Moroccan spiced cheese curds were by far the best I've had. Very light, not too salty, and well seasoned. Get them with the harissa aioli. Cauliflower falafel was excellent. Moist interior and nice crunchy crust. Definitely recommend using that on any of the burgers. The tofu in the bowl was, in my opinion, pretty bland but as mentioned before their sauces make the dish here.

    Brussel sprouts and kale salad, soup in the back
    Joy G.

    Cute place (cafe in the daytime, more of a restaurant at night) that just opened in Hudson. We were in the area to check out a museum and feeling peckish. The decor is pretty cool, combining industrial brick and glass exterior (used to be some sort of mill) with a wall of green plants along one side. Though I will say, now that we've entered the frigid winter months, the heating doesn't quite do the trick each time someone opens the door. I spent much of the meal shivering in my coat. We ordered the steak and cheese sandwich, the spiced pumpkin soup, and the brussels and kale salad. Of the three, I liked the sandwich the best - it came on this ciabatta that was a lot fluffier than the denser version I'm used to, almost like Japanese milk bread. Salad was pretty good, the little bits of bacon and the over-easy egg I added on top were the highlights. The soup ... was not quite what I expected. I was envisioning something more savory or creamy, like the tomato soups I grew up eating in school with wedges of grilled cheese, but this one was very sweet and had the consistency of apple sauce. Not bad, but I'd go with something different next time. We also ordered two drinks. The total was around $65 for two people, which is more than I anticipate shelling out for a lunch. Definitely on the pricey side, and we left still hungry.

    First impressions visiting this establishment it's all so nice, comfy and clean! Although I only ordered their Savory Popcorn with a touch of duck fat, Parmesan cheese & truffle oil. Very, very tasty along with their Lazer Cat IPA great combination BTW. Loved their Greenscape wall thought it added a special touch to the atmosphere as well. Service was good, need to look at the menu then go up at the front area and order. When it's ready they call your name and pick it up. Not long for wait time either. It was pretty busy there but not overly loud to have a conversation with your guest. Wish I was hungrier but I do plan to come back and try something a bit more hearty. I do highly recommend visiting if you're in the hudson area. Plenty of parking too!

    Still 5/5! I love being a regular here. Their seasonal pastry game has only ratcheted skyward. Apple cake, hand pies, and flawless cookies delight every time.

    Are older children (tweens and teens) welcome?

    We have been there with our teens as well as seen every age from infants on up. Casual place with awesome food, coffees & beer.

    Would you recommend for a bridal party brunch?

    It is a really cool space with great beer, coffee/espresso, & cocktails in the evening. If the menu works, I think it would be a lovely place if you can book a party. Otherwise can be busy. Enjoy!

I think you can open a tab or you pay each time you order. There is no waitressing, so they call you up to the bar to get your order and you bring back your dishes to a corner of the counter. The bar/beer side was pretty slow service. I waited for a while to place my order but once I placed my order it wasn't too long before I received my drink.

You arrive through the ice cream shop (I've been to the ice cream shop before and I had no idea that this was here) and you go to the back to an unmarked door by the restrooms.

That being said, we still had a pleasant dinner and enjoyed our meal but I don't think we will be itching to return. The standout being the french fries-- tossed in a delicious truffle butter. We both enjoyed the ny strip-- I found it odd that you couldn't order it cooked to your liking. We had asked for our steak cooked medium and they "can only do medium rare" per the servers words. That felt a bit odd-- I cannot not understand the reasoning why. The flavor on the steak was delicious, the cream sauce outstanding, and the greens were a nice touch. I would not recommend the cacio de pepe -- that didn't feel like an authentic pasta rather overcooked mac and cheese. It was not what we were expecting. The other thing that fell a bit short was the service. Completely different than their sister rail trail, the service was cold. It felt as if we were a bother. Our dining experience was less than an hour, it was prompt service. Ambiance is nice, small seating, dark.

We had to order bottles through the restaurant and they charge extra for that to open it, stating they need to track consumption. This was one disappointment.
