Medusa Varlet Raspberry Sour Beer
JD C.

The Wild Hare Breakfast Sammie is amazing. Really love this place, just wish it wasn't so expensive. Food, Service and Ambiance are all really good.

Diner Style Breakfast
Maddy F.

Very cool place! The decor/layout was very nice-- we sat outside. Service was prompt and friendly, absolutely no complaints there! The food was very good! High quality and delicious. The cold brew coffee I got was also one of the best coffees I have had recently. The only thing that fell short for us was the muffin, advertised as lemon blueberry but we didn't get any lemon. No problem though-- those things happen. Can't wait to give Wild Hare another try, hopefully for lunch!

I recently stopped by The Wild Hare in Hudson after hearing some buzz, and overall, the experience was... mixed. The food was good -- fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. I had no complaints there. The coffee was solid, too. The wait to order was decent. Not the fastest, but nothing outrageous either. The atmosphere was cute and cozy, and it seemed like a nice spot to relax or catch up with a friend. But what really threw me off -- and honestly left me feeling a bit frustrated -- was the tipping setup. You place your order at the counter, grab your own coffee, and pick up your food when your name is called. Yet you're prompted to leave a tip upfront, before you've received anything, and without any actual table service. I'm all for tipping when service is being provided, but in this case, it felt awkward and a little unfair. It's not a dealbreaker, but it did put a damper on the experience. I just think if you're going to ask for tips, there should be some level of service attached. Otherwise, it starts to feel less like gratitude and more like obligation.

The building
Dawn E.

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.

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.

Scrambled eggs with thick strips of bacon and sour dough toast.

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.

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.

Ube gnocchi from Feb dinner menu. (reproduced without permission from Instagram story). Absolute chef's kiss!

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.

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.

Ask the Community - Wild Hare

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!

Lobster was perfectly cooked. And plenty in every bite. Second order 1 large medium roast coffee. was a breakfast of champions. Corned beef hash, String potatoes. Choice of sausage, bacon or chorizo. Choice of toast and a fruit cup. The lobster omelette was delivered and eaten while the staff miscommunicated and never placed the order for the breakfast of champions. I waited until my wife was done with her lobster omelette before mentioning I was forgotten. I brought this to the attention of management explained that I was traveling through and needed to be back on the road. She apologized and offered to expedite that for me. She also gave us a couple of sweet treats as another apology. She did and I am glad I did. My breakfast was excellent. Just had to eat it on the go. Which I'm used to with all the traveling we do. So the miscommunication happened and the recovery was great. The ambiance is great open seating built with a homage to the town's industrial heritage. Definitely recommend Cafe 641.

Open for leasing space, the building offers historic charm within walking distance of the foodie trail that our town has been come to be recognized for.

Hudson has many charming things to offer, but its people and community, fueled by the visionaries from The RailTrail Flatbread Co. and their renaissance-Hudson. The Landing at Hudson Mills is smack ripe to take their place in the reinvention. A couple of times a year, they will host events, that are not your cra-y crafty crud. Oh no, the local artisans from Hudson and adjacent towns will knock your socks off! I met the incredibly edible Jaimie and her partner, proud owners of simply scrunch (currently a farmers market/fair and online elves) - https://www.simplyscrunch.com/ - at the May event. And I am smitten. Visit her website, she has the most beautiful olive-wood cheese boards encrusted with flowers and fruit, that are simply delightful. Her photography is delirously beautiful and her scrunchies are hand made and so adorable. Seriously, The Landing had them rocking their stuff along with other artisants, GLASS ARTISTS, AERIAL YOGA, Fine Party/Bridal couture. There is also a small museum to ode Hudson, and beautiful walking/running/biking trails right in its back yard. Rummage through the building for consignment, health and beauty, 2, yes 2 Cross Fit centers, and wonderful breakfast/brunch/lunch water holes that will leave you craving for decadence at the Wild Hare or "health nut" "clean eating" at Good Earth. They will tickle your professional fancy AND welcome you. The people are treasures! You want to work here. You NEED to be here!
