    Agave's legendary nachos
    Sam B.

    I was plesantly surprised by the food at Agave Kitchen in downtown Hudson! I visited on a Thursday for lunch and the restaurant was pretty empty. There was a group of 4 of us so we were able to sit wherever we'd like to. Our server was very friendly, prompt, and helpful with our menu questions. We ordered a smattering of items but the most notable; table fries, cowboy corn bites, and the legendary nachos. All other items we ordered (chicken and shrimp tacos and a burger) were all good, just not as notable as the others. Regarding portions, they are HUGE! We should have shared entrees but took home leftovers instead. Overall, I'd recommend trying Agave Kitchen and I look forward to visiting again to try more menu items!

    Bacon Chipotle Shrimp Tacos
    Michael B.

    Agave kitchen is a decent place for a small group to eat lunch or dinner. Kind of a bar feel with limited space. There are a lot of food choices but limited proteins available. If not fish or shrimp it's shredded meats unless you order an up-charge item. The chips taste really fresh and crunchy with a non-grease taste. A little salt and they were perfect. The queso and salsa are all really good alone, but we mixed ours and it was even better. The shrimp tacos had a little too much of the bacon because it really over powered the shrimp. Once I pulled off some bacon the tacos had a really good flavor and kick. The fish tacos have a fried fillet that tasted really good but needed a little salt. The filling and sauces on the fish tacos were really tasty. I would buy bottles of that green guacamole sauce. Our favorite item of the meal was the chorizo egg rolls. These have a really nice crunchy exterior and a cheesy spicy interior. The chorizo mixed with the cheesy center was so good. I doubt you'll be disappointed if you order these and share them with the table. The service would be my only area of suggested improvement of this establishment. The sign up front says "Please wait to be seated" but then once bartender saw us she told us to "just find a seat and someone will bring menus shortly". Nobody came to our table for 5-6 minutes. The rest of the service wasn't much better. Lot of waiting for help or acknowledgment. Once we were done eating we had to search out our waitress to get our check. We would return to try other items, but maybe be more demanding of service.

    One of the places we found while we were in Hudson, WI was Agave Kitchen. It was just a block up from the St Croix River. They serve a combination of Santa Fe, New American & Keto Friendly inspired foods. They had a little bit of a wait (it was a Friday night) so we left our name and we took a walk down to the river to take a few pictures. The view was really pretty and calming. The restaurant was pretty busy. The servers were really friendly and they were great. Our waiter got our order taken quickly and I was surprised how efficient he was. They definitely knew what they were doing and had a great system. When the food came out it was hot and delicious. We started with the cheese curds and the blackberry ketchup it comes with was amazing. We actually ordered a second order to take back to the room with us for later. I ordered the Pork Carnitas Tacos from their Keto Selections. Yay for low carb! They were amazing and so filling. He got the Gaucho Steak tacos and Caesar Salad. He loved his choices too. We enjoyed our meal so much that we actually ate here a second time over the weekend before we left to head home. We've even talked about coming here when we're up in the twin cities because it's only a 20 minute drive from St Paul, MN. It's really good. If you're ever in the area it's totally worth a stop.

    Bloody and Strawberry jalapeño margarita

    Popped in for a quick snack while wandering around and we were really happy with our choice. Service was quick and friendly. The pulled pork nachos were a big mound of perfectly layered yumminess, no empty chips! Bloody Mary was tasty but the strawberry, jalapeño margarita..chef's kiss. Fresh and perfectly balanced without being too sweet. We'd definitely stop in again.

    Bacon Jam Burger and fries
    Lauren R.

    Fine, but overpriced. Our server was nice, but didn't check in often enough for refills and there were some misunderstandings when ordering that led to one of our party not being able to enjoy their meal. To be fair, they could have sent the plate back, but chose not to, so that's partially on them. But we were all confused how the error happened in the first place. Started off strong with the cheesecurds appetizer, which was delicious and great with the sauce. The kids enjoyed their burgers and chicken tenders and said "this is the best ranch I've ever tasted" so there's that! The fries were delicious, but couldn't make up for the $16 burger three of us ordered (cheapest one on the menu, I believe). It was the Bacon Jam burger special, though if you'd asked me to guess what special ingredients they'd added I would have guessed, "...sauce?" Not awful, but nothing to write home about and certainly nothing to justify the pricetag. We ended our meal here full but wishing we'd tried another local spot instead.

    I really want to give it 4 stars however, since the last time I was there, the food has gone downhill a little. Specifically the burgers. Idk. Maybe it's just me. But I haven't been there in probably a year or two and the burgers have gotten a little, under seasoned? Idk how else to describe it. The cheese curds were still pretty flipping awesome though and I think they are probably the best in Hudson. Unfortunately the price of everything has gone up so much I know I could make a better burger at home, the patty itself just didn't have any seasoning. The service was great. Had very nice and prompt waitress. The drinks came quickly and the food was hot. The building, if you haven't been has 3 sections. There's a main floor with mostly high top tables and a bar. Then a second floor with the kitchen and an overlook on the first floor. It has giant windows that are street facing and the view of downtown is pretty good. Honestly I prefer the third floor, although it wasn't open when we were there last, it also has some large windows that down upon main street. The third floor (from what I recall) is more fancy college bar with some games and a bar. Overall worth a stop. It's unique and they have a done a great job with the space and have great service.

    Cute ambiance right off the main street. Right in the hustle and bustle of the historic downtown area, Hudson, WI. We were seated immediately on the 3rd floor servers serviced right away. Our table had a great over view of the downtown area and the river. The kids had their own menu and activity sheet. They were also entertained but the dart machine behind us. The food came out promptly and the kid portions were really a good deal for $6 each. The nachos had a lot of meat on them & kids we enjoyed. My chicken southwest bowl was a bit lacking in taste so I asked for salsa to spice it up. The others liked their bowls and burgers. The unlimited handcut fries were hot and delicious. I would try again, but not a bowl. Enjoy

    Cheese Curds
    Justin R.

    Love this place! There is street parking around, but no specific lot. My girlfriend and I sat on the second floor with a great view. The kitchen is in a unique spot, but it is very cool. We ordered a few appetizers to share, the chicken nachos and cheese curds. I ordered the pulled pork sliders. The happy hour menu is pretty big with food and drinks and is offered everyday until 5pm. The server was a little busy, being that it was a Friday afternoon, but she still did a great job. I have been to Agave many times and I will definitely be back soon.

    My hubby and I were excited to head to Agave yesterday due to their keto options on their menu. It has been a while since our last time here. I ordered the tenderloin steak tips while my hubby ordered the buffalo chicken tacos (both keto options). The kiddo had milk with a side of chips. We both highly enjoyed our meals while watching the gators play basketball on their huge tv screens on the 3rd floor. As a side note, on the 3rd floor of the restaurant there are some cool views if you get a window seat and only high top table options. They have a cute mini bar up there with about 5 stools. There's even a bathroom stall (1) on the top floor otherwise more bathrooms on the main floor in the back. They must've updated them recently, they're very nice. Gage (our server) was awesome and attentive. We'll be back!

    Cabo burger. Caramelized onions, garlic aioli, avo, pico, Munster. Perfect.

    Chicken wings had no flavor what so ever. Maybe other items are cool but not the wings. And it's over priced.

    Went to willow river state park then passed this restaurant going home and decided to stop for…read morelunch. Unassuming place in a strip mall but definitely found a hidden gem!! Food was amazing. Pulled pork sandwich, tacos, guac and fire roasted salsa were a hit! Can't wait to go back! Great friendly service lots of people getting takeout and pizza.

    Ok unless you happen to be downtown already, skip Agave downtown and go to the 2 GoGo location…read moreinstead. The addition of Suttino's pizza menu is killer. The service is some of the best I've had in a really long time as well. They have a full bar, the full agave menu (and happy hour menu that I believe is all day) and the Suttino's pizza menu. I'm not sure how they can fit that many ingredients in one kitchen, but they do, and for that I'm thankful. The cowboy corn bites are to die for. They come out with an internal temperature similar to molten lava so be warned, but oh my word. I could eat these every single day and never get sick of them. The nacho's are some of my favorite in the area and I like that they layer the ingredients, be sure to dig a little before you fill up on the top layer of chips as most of the goodies are hidden in the second layer. The kitchen fries are worth ordering and come with a garlic aioli, but I prefer the chipotle mayo that comes with the corn nuggets with the fries. Suttino's jalapeño popper pizza is sooooo yummy. I've ordered it twice and one had a lot less toppings, but if you request they aren't shy on the toppings it will be your new favorite if you're into that type of thing. The sausage and mushroom pizza wasn't crazy saucy so if you like sauce, maybe ask for more? The chicken bacon ranch was also killer. All in all, one of my new favorites in the area. Worth a stop and I always thought it was a to go burrito and taco shop based on the name, but now you know.
