Chose this place based exclusively on their beer selection, while looking for a place to eat at First & Main. The decor is abysmal; it looks like an Applebees that hasn't nailed all of the crap to the walls yet. The chairs are awkwardly high, it's small, and feels kind of like a movie set (incomplete). That said, the food delivers. It's a touch expensive, but of good quality and originality. My dinner partner got the (only) vegetarian offering, and raved throughout the meal. My burger exceeded my expectations; it was far more delicious than the description would have led me to believe. The number of beers available is staggering, and it took longer to chose a beer than it did our food. The service wasn't great, but very friendly, and the staff contributed to a "loose" atmosphere. The "not the food" stuff about this place isn't great. But the food is, and it's absolutely worth visiting. read more

The Flip Side is now a must have when I am in town! Perfectly cooked, juicy burgers and delicious homemade sweet potato fries, makes my mouth water just thinking about it! The only downside is the place is small and they don't take reservations. In the evenings the wait can be quite long. I've even had to wait for a lunch table on a Monday. Otherwise - a must have in Hudson! read more

A Sunday afternoon visit found us with two seats at the bar and no wait. We dabbled in some IPAs and brown ales, thanks to a friendly bartender who allowed us to taste before we committed! The beer selection here is fantastic. My burger was just wonderful. I stuck with the Flipside to keep things 'simple' and I had no regrets. My friend ordered hers naked (paleo-friendly!), and while the kitchen messed up and sent it out... clothed(?) they fixed it immediately. Yummy sweet potato fries rounded out the meal. I will be back next time I find myself in the area! read more

Stopped by based on the overly enthusiastic yelp reviews. Must say I was disappointed. Burger was just okay. Tasted no better than my favorite diner's burger does back in NYC. Service and uncomfortable seating, however, sink this place for me. Service: This place is small and there were only two other parties there. It took 20 minutes for the server to take my order. And it's good she came by then, because I was already debating exactly how I should walk out. (With a flourish? Just slink out the door?? Leave a tip for the water???) The waitress was attentive after taking my order, but still, I don't want to be in the position of debating whether or not to walk out of a restaurant. Seating: All the tables are high tops. (Think bar height, without the bar.) The chairs had very little cushion, which usually wouldn't have been an issue, but for the fact that I could not brace myself against the ground - because the chairs are also tall. Admittedly, I probably wouldn't have noticed the chairs if I hadn't been sitting there, idle for so long. Also of note: I was there during the day light hours, and it looked like the place was closed from the outside. It was only when I got really close and peered in the window that I could tell that there were people in there. read more

The Flip Side in Hudson is a great place to hang out at the bar, watch some sports, talk to a really friendly bartender and have a burger... except for the burger. If this wasn't a "burger joint" the burger would be fine, but it is a burger joint and the burgers are mediocre. The actual meat is good, there isn't enough of it for the price. This is a standard, flat burger you can get anywhere, and the last two times I was there I was so disappointed. I didn't even get a full slice of tomato both times and I received one miniscule piece of wilted iceberg lettuce as my garnish. It's a shame I love the atmosphere, but they have become some cheap on their portions and their presentation is so pathetic, that I can only give it two stars. You get more tomato and lettuce on a Whopper, how sad is that? Sweet potato fries and onion rings are great. I have written to the manager about the lousy presentation but have received no reply. Went back last week to see if anything changed, nope, sad to say. There are better burgers in Hudson...The Rosewood, Hudson's and Lager & Vine. C'mon Flipside spend the extra 2 cents on a nice piece of lettuce and a whole slice of tomato. You have got a great place, that can be a GREAT burger joint, not just a medicore BURGER joint. read more

Holy flippin, this burger place was workin for us. After driving around the area, we stopped by Flipside for a late lunch. I've never even set foot in Hudson, OH (let alone even knew where it was), but was surprised at how cute and new the downtown area was. Hmm. Enter Flipside. The art along the walls were sketched with interesting artsy figures- it was definitely cool, new, and hipster-ish. Our waiter seated us right away, clothed in his baseball shirt with "FS" for flipside, and began chatting it up with us. He had such a soothing soft voice- and knew everything and anything about the menu...without even hesitating to look down at a menu or anything. I LOVE THAT CHARACTERISTIC. It's how waitstaff should be! I already felt my trust in Flipside building. To my partner foodie's surprise, there was ginger beer. What??? He exclaimed as I pointed it out.... so down went the beer menu, and he ordered a ginger beer. "Mmmmmmmm" was his only response. I assumed it was good. We got the triple cooked fries. According to our informative waiter, he stated that the fries were first boiled, then fried, taken out, then fried again. They were hearty fries. yum yum yum. He got the Green Eggs and Ham burger...oh man, that fried egg on top was perfect and with the basil mayo? mmmm. I got the Forester Burger- a burger with mushrooms, then slightly deep fried (like tempura!) shittake mushrooms on top with truffle aioli. OMG. Best mushroom + burger EVER. Loved it. We were stuffed. I must say... I'm not sure who I like better- Flipside or B-spot. I'm leaning toward Flipside though, due to variety of everything. If only it wasn't so far...but man, that's some flippin good stuff. read more

Flipside was suggested to us by some friends, and we were excited to try it. The location is loud, busy, and crowded. There is no space to wait so there was a huge cluster of people waiting at the door and we couldn't find the hostess for about ten minutes. My main complaint is that this food was not worth the money. The drinks were overpriced (a PBR was $5)! Fries do not come with the burgers, so we got some fries with cheese and pork rinds as an appetizer. The fries were pretty good, the cheese was delicious, but DO NOT get the pork rinds unless you want to break your teeth! We could barely eat them, they had no flavor, and when the waitress took the plate that was still almost full she didn't even say anything. We got six burgers, all of which were so-so, except for the Red Door burger (which tasted really good). We tried each others burgers, and they barely had any flavor unless you loaded them with sauce. I got the Forester burger (picture) , and the mushrooms, onions, and burger tasted like nothing, but the sauce was great! If I were to come back I might try a milkshake because they looked pretty good, but I would only get the Red Door burger and maybe fries. Overall, I did not think the meal was worth the price. read more

Flip Side - Hudson - Burgers Near Me - Hudson, Ohio

We love Flip Side in Hudson! Their burgers and shakes are the best. Get their early or come late to avoid loner waits during popular dinner hours. read more

1/13/19 Flip Side has a cool atmosphere. Just about every burger I've had over the years has been outstanding. Tonight, I got the Uncle Jimmy, which has a layer of peanut butter, bacon and habanero pepper jelly. Delicious! This is now one of my favorites. The onion rings and sweet potato fries were also good as usual. read more

I give 3 stars, but if I could do 3.5 I would. I would not consider this a 4 star burger joint. I'm passing through Ohio, and traditionally my husband and I always pick a new place to eat, I chose this based on yelp reviews, plus I really wanted a good, greasy burger. Ordered two burgers (the Firestarter and the forester) and an order of truffle fries to split. Both burgers were ordered medium rare. The menu has a lot of variety, it's hard to choose which burger I wanted and these are serious life changing decisions! The burgers are large and they do taste fresh. They both had good flavor. Both burgers were cooked incorrectly. Both burgers were well done and I think well done burgers lose some of the good, beefy flavors. I also asked for no tomatoes, and it did come on the side (I guess that is not the end of the world, but I cannot stand tomato juice at all, so I didn't eat the lettuce and pickles either. (Yes I'm weird). As previously stated, good flavors but way too well done. My husband said his burger was good. The truffle fry portion was large and good, I wish it had a little more truffle flavoring, but it wasn't bad. The fries were perfectly done. I ordered at 930 at night for carry out, place closes at 1030. Maybe they were trying to push out the food as fast as possible and rushed. The guy who took my order was rushing me and I had to repeat myself a few times (maybe he wasn't paying attention). When I pass through again, I might try it again, just because I want to trust the reviews. read more

Phenomenally delicious! The meat seasoning and tenderness was over the top. Mom and I sat at the bar (creatively made from pressed concrete). We had the simplicity burger and root beers. Try the bacon martini! The atmosphere was swanky rustic with unique flair to design and detail with warm wood tones. The service was hospitable and quick! Glad we came... We will return! read more

Great takeout service. There burgers are great and they do a good job of keeping things hot.

And this is why you don't get a salad at a burger joint... Chicken chopped salad was just OK, but burgers coming out of the kitchen looked delicious. Cool place with decent bar. Will come back for a burger next time... stupid... stupid... stupid. read more

This is the first time I was here. We went there on a Sunday afternoon for an early dinner. We got a table right away and was served promptly. The staff was really nice and the place was small and cozy. They have a full bar and the tables are tall with tall chairs (if you drink too much, it's a farther fall). I ordered a Philly hamburger with fries covered with cheese. The hamburger was topped with green peppers and onions. The green peppers are actually black (well done) but it tasted good. I think the cheese on the fries is macaroni and cheese cheese, without the macaroni. They tasted good and they give you a large amount so the dinner was very filling. I asked for a Blue Moon beer which they didn't have but they did have a wheat beer similar to it. Never had this beer, Troegs Dream Weaver (good song). It tasted similar to Blue Moon. Not to be disappointed, I stopped at Costco after we left the restaurant and bought a whole case of Blue Moon. I can drink it at home. Very good restaurant and I'd like to go back if they let me back in. The area where the restaurant is located is really nice. Nice place to walk around, shop, eat, and loiter. read more

Flip Side - Hudson - Burgers Near Me - Hudson, Ohio

Awesome food, great service and nice selection of beers on tap. The milkshakes are a must and so are the sweet potato fries!!!

Best burger place I've ever been to Everybody draws the comparison to B-Spot, which is fair - however, though B-Spot is very good, you get a smaller burger for the same price as Flip Side - and it doesn't taste nearly as good. Definitely stick with Flip Side read more

Visited Flip Side for the first time on a Sunday evening. This was my first visiting this area and I'll definitely be back to explore some of the other shops and restaurants around here. The restaurant is really small but we sat at the bar - great draft selection and was really excited to see Jackie O's Brewery from Athens on the list. Decor is distressed vintage - cute stuff to look at, love the bookshelf within the wall. Sweet potato fries were amazing, burgers were cooked to perfection and perfectly filling - granted I was starving. It's definitely worth a stop! read more

Delightful gourmet burger restaurant. Stay away from the veggie burger. I want to say that right out. I loved the burgers from previous visits and wanted to try something different, so I tried the chickpea veggie burger. It is not good. It's just some avocado and sprouts inside a "bun" of chickpea patties. I like a good bean burger; this was not so good. But now that I've gotten that out of the way: this place is great. The burgers are heavenly. The fries are excellent and the craft beer selection is first rate. I've eaten the Flipside Burger and it was the best burger I ever had. I've tried the other places like B Spot and the Rail. But Flipside is the place to go for the best burger. read more

So I think I need to schedule a trip here just to visit flip side. We stopped last June while traveling and my hubby can't stop talking about that awesome place we stopped at in Ohio. Don't debate - it's AWESOME food-get the burger and savor it! read more

I stopped in for drinks and had their signature bloody mary. It had a smokey spicy flavor and was garnished with a strip of bacon, lime, and 2 olives. The rest of the drinks are standard martinis with a few twists. Those were just average at best. But if beer is your drink, you will be in heaven as they have a huge selection. Next time I will try the food--it all looked and smelled good. The atmosphere was nice too. But beware, this place is tiny and becomes uncomfortably crowded in no time. Try going during the off hours or for lunch. read more

I've been to Flip Side many times since my last review, so no point in repeating my same praise. This review is for a to-go order. Yup, you can order FS as take out! Many people complain about how small and difficult it is to get a seat; well a take out order solves all that. I was a little apprehensive that ordering a burger take out would result in something nasty by time I got home. At the advice of my neighbor, I did the following. Place an order over the phone. Head down to FS ASAP. Sit your behind at the bar and order a nice IPA. By time you finish your IPA the food will be ready and you can bring it home piping hot and fresh. I got the bag home and my wife and I took it out. Burgers are wrapped in a nice foil to keep them warm, however wrapping kills presentation so they look squished and not as pretty as at the restaurant. Kinda how Wendy's wraps their burgers. However, taste was spot on. Damn good as always. As a plus, my bill was 1/3 of what it is when I'm there and drinking 2-3 beers. Saved money to boot! read more

My boyfriend and I just left the restaurant without service. When we arrived someone pointed us where to sit and so we did. We got up and left after nearly 10 minutes of not being acknowledged by 3 or 4 different people that walked by. No menus, silverware, or drinks. It's 4pm on a Saturday and they weren't busy. read more

just killing time before a wedding! The fries were lovely & so was the beer. The bartender could have been more attentive, but I made due. Didn't try any of the burgers, but from what I did see they looked good. The turkey burger was highly recommended by the staff and the patrons. read more

Excellent burgers! If you have ever been to B Spot, it is the same concept. My friend and I went and each got a burger and split a side of fries and it was plenty of food for a reasonable price. I had the philly burger that had shredded beef, cheese, peppers and onions and it was so good! The fries had good seasoning and did not need any sauce. I also got a blueberry pie shake with vodka and it was to die for as well. You could taste the vodka but it was not overpowering. I will definitely be back! read more

Yes, you're going to spend a little bit of money here. And it will be totally worth it!! (Especially because you'll leave so stuffed you wont have to eat the rest of the day.) Flip Side by far is our absolute FAVORITE place in Hudson. Looking for a great beer? They have an amazing selection on tap. Want a great bartender? Go Wednesday or on the weekends. Nate is THE BEST! Want a place that feels like Cheers? This is the place. Just want to watch a game? Flip Side! Now let's talk food. The burgers are amazing. The sweet potato fries are something I crave for regularly. Best onion rings ever. But the chips, fries, mac and brisket, tuna burger (yes, we've tried just about everything there) are all CRAZY good. My kids love it here, and it is a top request when they get to pick a place to eat out. If by some slim chance you have room, even the milk shakes will make you shake with delight. This place is near impossible to get into during lunch and dinner hours, so don't try if you're in a hurry. But well worth the wait or going mid-day or after the dinner rush. read more

Maybe my expectations were too high, but generally if I spend over eight dollars on a burger I want to be wowed at least a bit. The lady ordered corndogs, which touting to be Kobe beef seemed a bit over the top. Not bad. My burger had the bare minimum toppings, and left me disappointed. The beer was overpriced, and continues to be, on a few occasions for stopping by for a pint. The staff tends to be lovely, and the fellah named Lars is a gem. Other than that, it's pretty uninspiring. read more

Whoever runs this kitchen needs a lesson in corndog battering and frying. Or maybe just show them what a corndog actually looks like. At this point, it just seems like they're guessing ‍ read more

Best burgers around, but I think the fries might be even better. I had a huge burger with a fried egg on top and loved it. The atmosphere is fun and intriguing but they could use a little more room; the place is very small. Also, the beef is fresh, organic and locally raised! I will be going back to try everything. I also had an amazing milkshake with pretzels and peanut butter! Sure, I gained five pounds, but it was worth it! read more

The ambiance is fun and burger/sports bar type restaurant. Lots of unique appetizers, burgers, salads & sandwiches. The Kobe beef corn dog starter was SO yummy!Hubby had Mikey burger and loved it! The bacon was good quality & cooked perfectly. I had the French Flip which was shaved prime rib au jus with cheese and it was great! Will definitely be back. read more

Well messed our whole order up! Totally! And then we got a hair in our burger... Horrible experience and this place s always packed. This was just a really a bad experience. But really there burgers are great. After the second time and they just cleaned off the topping on my burger and gave it back to me, but whatever! My wife had the hair burger! Ha! Oh and seasonal punkin milk shake was phenomenal! I'm a rootbeer fool there's is ok. Sprechers is the brand. read more

We went to Flip Side for the DORA because the bar typically has great beers on tap. Beers were still great but the hostess/bar tender who greated us was not nice. She made the experience uncomfortable. And we spent $8.50 per 13 oz pour. Not a good experience at all. That's too bad, Flip Side. You lost our business, COVID or not. read more

The atmosphere is very cool - the small space features a lot of worn wood and a faux "found objects" aesthetic. As I walked in the door. I was greeted with an overwhelming smell of burning bread, and there seemed to be a slightly smokey tinge to the air. I found a seat at the bar, and was immediately acknowledged and given a beer menu. There are a dozen or so beers on tap, all well chosen. I ordered a wedge salad, a burger, and fries. All three were tremendous. Really, the only complaints that I might make about the food are that the balsamic onions were slightly burned, and that the burger didn't come with pickles. It was,however, perfectly prepared to medium rare, and the salad was absolutely outstanding. Service was more than capable, and was attentive without hovering. I will definitely be back. read more

Shelby always gives excellent service, she really makes you feel welcomed! Our favorite burger choice by far. Love the sweet potato fries.

FLIPSIDE IS AMAZING. they've been handling everything beautifully during this global pandemic and their customer service is flawless. the manager(i believe her name is Kat) is exceptional and always handles every situation. THANK YOU flipside for everything you do. keep it up!! read more

My husband and I are new to the area and love this place! I had the bison burger, which was a delicacy, and my husband had a burger with peanut butter and jam on it. We went around 3pm so after lunch and before dinner. Service was slow for so few people in the restaurant. Also- I don't like when at a burger place you have to pay extra for fries. read more

Absolutely wonderful staff! The food is amazing and it can get busy sometimes but they try there to best to make u have a good dinning experience on the weekends when they open for dine in. read more

Happy hour advertises $4 drafts. So I order a few drafts. I order a burger and the server asks if regular fries are ok and I agree. The bill comes its full price $7 for beers. I say something and she says it's only the first beer and she'll change it, I said it's fine. And the fries are $2.50 extra. Don't act like they're included when they're not. Not very cool trying to sneakily up the price of the bill. If u advertise $4 drafts I expect all of them to be $4 during happy hour not 1. And if it is just 1 at least do that don't bill be full price hoping I don't notice. read more

It's not bad, but it's nothing special, I guess. Decor: I got this vibe that this place wants to be like B-Spot. That's not a bad thing, just a note on the overall feeling of the restaurant and its theme. The overall decor is old-wood and concrete. It's kind of a steakhouse vibe. The menus are paper in a clasp binder. They looked good at one time, but the menus are quite beat up, stained, and falling apart. Service: The bartenders and servers are great--I've never had bad service. So A+ to them. Everyone seems attentive and I've never had anything to complain about. Food: The burgers are good. It's certainly better than any fast food joint, but my taste buds don't have an orgasm off these burgers either. I will say the list of burgers are more creative than anything else in Hudson. When I broaden the scope to include Cleveland, it mostly contains ideas that have been done before. I think this just represents Hudson finally getting a place with more burger options. For the most part, my burgers have been spot on temperature wise; however, my wife has had a few undercooked burgers (a medium cooked rare or mid-rare). My only real complaint is that the fries are ala cart, and the portion of the fires are absurdly large. I would rather just get a small amount with the burger than have to order a wasteful amount. Drinks: The beer list has a lot of good options. It's no 300-beer list-o-thon, but they keep a good stock and they always have a few non-standard items on the tap. That means you can go fancy or you can just have a Miller. There's something for everyone. Overall: It's not a bad joint, but doesn't represent the second coming of the Christ in the form of a tasty burger (I don't think B-Spot is the Christ burger either, if that means anything to you). In the end, I would go back since the menu has a number of options and the service is good. read more

This place doesn't make an amazing-knock-your-socks-off-best-you've- ever-had-in-your-life kind of burger. What they do make is a well-cooked, well portioned burger and an assortment of sides that I found inventive and a nice alternative to a standard burger and fries joint. This is a solid four star restaurant partially for not only serving local grass-fed beef but having the wherewithal to hire chefs who know how to cook it properly. What else makes them four stars? A proper beer list. The wine list was a little lacking but they did carry Santa Barbara Pinot Noir which was a pleasant surprise. For the record, I had the Simplicity with a side of fries with salt and herbs. Keeping it classic. My husband had the Black and Bleu with the homemade chips. Not a huge fan of the Black and Bleu but bleu cheese is subjective so order at your own risk. Homemade chips were good but nothing amazing. read more

Stopped here with my friend's family for dinner recently. Happened to walk in just as another four top was getting up, so we had a negligible wait, though the space is small and on a busy night you could definitely be waiting a while. I enjoyed the industrial, wood heavy decor. Service was adequate. The server was a bit abrupt, but I don't particularly mind that if he gets the job done, which he did. I ordered a particular beer in a can ($7!), which they were out of. The server apologized because the menu had not been changed, which he described as "terrible". They were out of several other items on the menu, which is fine because that means that most things are fresh and in small batches, which it enjoy. The food was good. I enjoyed Shawn's burger and truffle fries, though I was disappointed to see that all sides are a la carte. It strikes me that a place like this could at least offer some complimentary pickled vegetables, particularly because it's not an inexpensive meal. Overall, it's a fine place to grab a delicious, if pricey, burger and fries. I'd recommend going at off hours, or go expecting a wait. read more
