    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    Since we moved out of town, we've missed this place. We went for lunch. The menu is constantly evolving, which I love. But they also retain the classics which made Agave in the first place. Great happy hour specials, however noticed inflation has effected them as everyone else trying to survive. I had the Cabo burger. It was excellent. I could only eat half. I like their salsa, so I didn't upgrade to fries. My hubby had the forever classic chimichanga (with pork of course) , it's always a staple at Agave and always on happy hour specials. We're ever disappointed there.

    Like this place a lot. The food is good and the place is clean and they don't have a big turnover of employees so that says a lot too.

    Very good food! Terrific appetizers, great burgers. Crowded, though. Hard to get in the door. Food worth the struggle.

    @black_rooster_hudson you DID THAT…read more The pork chop with Parmesan smashed potatoes on top of aoli was FANTASTIC. The pork chop was tender, juicy and flavorful while the potatoes were extra crispy. The lamb on a bed of peas with bits of crunchy chick peas on top of tzatziki was also amazing (I don't think it can outshine the pork chop) the lamb was a hearty serving of tender deliciousness as well. Ended things with the brown butter cake drizzled in salted caramel topped with mousse and pumpkin seeds - also fabulous. Our service was excellent - she was fun, friendly and gave us great recommendations. Very moody vibes in the evening which I love, it's perfectly small and cozy here.
