    Cookie's Front Door
    Jeff P.

    When you arrive at Cookies, the first thing you find is that, well it's not easy to find. The restaurant is in a storefront where all the businesses look exactly the same. The fact that Cookies occupies what I am sure was intended to be three stores means you might find yourself walking into the wrong door. When I stepped into the waiting room, my first impression of the place is more "so what" than anything else. The interior is painted some almost but not quite offensive yellow. I think the attempt was to make it warm and cozy, but with everything the same bland color, that's not what it looked like to me. It looks like if you are a local, they allow you to bring in your own coffee mug and leave it on a shelf in the waiting room. I didn't take the time to count, but the fact that there were over 100 mugs on the wall indicates that Cookies does have a good set of regulars. The wait at 9AM on a Sunday was less than 10 minutes. The place was busy, but not crowded. Seems the trade is mostly regulars, as the standard set up at a table does not include a menu. It's a pretty good-sized menu, but my eyes went straight to the section titled "Things With Sausage Gravy." I spotted the Country Benny (biscuit, sausage patty, two poached eggs covered with sausage gravy and a side of home fries) and it was clear what I was going to have for my breakfast. Mmmm, sausage gravy. When it's good, it's almost like you are eating food meant for the gods! But to often it's just a white cream-colored thing that has a similar texture but nothing else. Too often what's passed off as sausage gravy in a breakfast joint has neither the sausage, nor the taste to be called anything other than library paste. This happens so frequently I am hesitant to order it at any of the normal breakfast places, but Cookies has the audacity to name an entire section of menu after their gravy, it can't be awful, can it? I quietly drank my tea, and covered my nervousness by reading the front page of the paper. My plate arrived and it was sufficiently covered with a semi liquid substance that was studded with the proper amount of sausage crumbles to hopefully provide the right taste and texture. I hesitantly took my first bite. Nice texture, hints of sausage, no pasty uncooked flour taste. It's eatable; no it's even good. Not as good as Bob Evans sausage gravy, the Holy Grail of sausage gravy in my book, but I was going to be able to eat, and better yet, enjoy this. Hey wait, there's some more items on my plate, are they any good? The poached eggs where not rubbery, the yolk was a bright yellow color and tasty. The sausage patty was just a bit subtler than I prefer, but then I like a very assertive breakfast sausage. The biscuit was just fair, but I will admit it is better than mine. (I can't seem to make a decent biscuit no matter what I try. Sadly the things out of the tube are better than anything I can whip up in my kitchen.) The home fries where fair to middling. These where not home made, but instead of the tiny cubes of deep fried potato like substance that Sysco delivers to every shop that thinks they are a local diner, Cookies seems to have opted for the next level up in quality. These were larger chunk of potato lightly deep-fried and covered with a bit of seasoning before being shipped across the country. So not awful, but not as good as if they started with real potatoes back in the kitchen. Service was just a bit slow, but not painfully so. Clearly the tempo is intended for one to linger over the food and enjoy their breakfast companions. That seems appropriate for a Sunday morning. Cookies is just a breakfast place now, closing time is noon on weekdays and 1 on weekends. I think I will be back here, when I need my next sausage gravy fix. It was good enough I don't feel the need to explore the rest of the menu.

    The service was quick and polite at the Cook Wagon. I read the French toast was the dish to drive for, so I had that. The bread is fresh and homemade but I found the French part disappointing. I like my French toast to have the egg mixture soaked in a little, but the bread was straight up bread. Homefries are fried. Scrambled eggs were good. My corn muffin was underimpressive. Overall I would go back but may try something else.

The interior felt bright and airy, with light woods and cream/off-white tones. The space carried a slightly upscale coffee shop feel, but without the snooty third-wave energy of plastering tasting notes and bean origins everywhere. I got a large cold brew ($5.50) and a pour over ($6). At the pour over's price point, I would have expected more than one coffee bean option. Service came across as cordial, with my pour over brought out to the table. The establishment offered free Wi-Fi; even on a Labor Day afternoon, multiple people set up to work.

The service was very good. I wound up getting the gluten free waffle which was delicious. Wouldn't even know it's gluten free. It had a great flavor and texture. I asked if there was fruit to add on it but there was not at the time but the employee was nice enough to offer a raspberry jam as an alternative. They also make and have real maple syrup. I got an iced coffee to drink with oat milk. I enjoyed the coffee. There's street parking. I came on a Sunday so the parking was free. Quaint place. Your order then get a number and sit at a table and they bring your items to you. Just a couple seats outside. They also carried a few gluten free desserts like cookies and brownies and have season banana bread. I'll have to go back and try them another time.

We were happy they took our service. We ordered a mocha smoothie and a vegan wrap. The older woman serving us was very friendly and fast with her service. Unfortunately the smoothie she made tasted funky and we couldn't drink it. We felt bad complaining so we ended up just throwing it out. The vegan wrap was delicious especially with the salsa it came with! I could eat that salsa up on its own. It was fresh and very flavorful. The vegan wrap had kale, brown rice, sweet potatoes and brown lentils. I'd come back here just to order the vegan wrap to go again :)

    ** Patty Melt review **…read more Roadside eatery in a tiny strip plaza. Outside, it looks nothing like the classic New England train car style or New Jersey stainless steel style diners, but inside are countertop with stools, booths around the outskirts, and the hustle and bustle giving it a strong diner vibe. Like my visits to many diners, I was here on my patty melt quest. -- Patty Melt: First, the composition is faithful to the prototype, with a quarter pound patty (no smashburger nonsense), rye bread (no sourdough decoy), buttered (not merely toasted), and with the classic Swiss cheese, sautéed onions and thousand Island dressing. No fusion, no reinvention, no omissions, no hipster jive. Good crispness and butteriness on the bread, great melt on the cheese, and noticeable softness to the onions. Most importantly, the beef could be ordered medium rare, and they executed. More softness, with gushing juices and a really pleasing bite. I suspect nothing special to start with, but they cooked it to near perfection. Only quibble would be not much crust to the patty, but not as critical on a patty melt. -- Fries: I could have had tots or a few other options, but fries were fine. Almost certainly frozen, but the skin-on variety and not the dreaded coated kind. Nothing special, but good enough. Service was adequate. It seemed like everyone was prepping to get everything gathered and cleaned for closing about 90 minutes earlier than necessary, but that didn't detract. If anything, it shows initiative and hustle. Not much data to go on, but an easy 4 for me.

The service is always amazing and the food is always on point and it never disappoints. The ambiance is like a typical diner with booths, no loud music so you can talk to your party. Let's get down to the food. Cinnamon Bun Pancakes- this is my go to because I love it! It's not overly sweet which I love and it reminds me on a cinnamon bun. I always get one lol Country Benedict- this is what I order every time I come here as my main dish. You get buttermilk biscuits instead of English muffins with sausage patties on top and the lovely gravy. The gravy is soo good. CHOCOLATECHIP pancakes- my daughter go to since she loves chocolate lol. Which 5 year old doesn't right? She always gets this and it's really good. So if you're in Hudson be sure to come here, you won't be disappointed.
