Just a little diner with friendly wait staff, hot coffee and a delicious breakfast. Not many places you will find that are open 24 hours. The breakfast was hot and delicious and the potatoes were on point. The place was well kept, and clean, for the age I was expecting that just a little bit more dinge, I was pleasantly surprised. The only odd part about this entire experience is the dishwasher on the front line behind the counter. Not in a bad way, just odd LOL. Stop in if you need a little bite for lunch or a late night breakfast.

That sign, in the far distance, is why they think they've covered themselves and that it's okay they charge extra for eggs.

I enjoyed the breakfast burrito with home fries and it was the best fuel before a day of deep cleaning the garage! This was my first time stopping in, after been wanting to go for years! Food was scrumptious and service was top notch. Will be back very soon! The burrito itself was LARGE. Tasted even better heated up in the air fryer the next day. Very flavorful. Could easily share this with two people if you didn't want leftovers for the next day. The home fries paired perfectly with the burrito. Nice crunch, too.

Everything taste absolutely homemade, and the chicken marsala is remarkable! But I have to admit it. It's hard to pull myself away from breakfast every time I go there! And as far as ice cream, sundaes are concerned, save your money going to other places and just finish your hamburger and fries with one of their sundaes or complement it with a shake as you eat your meal! You really feel like part of this neighborhood even if you live somewhere else when you are there because everybody is treated equally with kindness and respect! And sometimes a little bit of joking, the place is always full, but never long to wait for a seat! If you have not yet gone, I urge you very much to go even if you tried one thing on the menu every other week it would take you over a year at least to try every selection. I don't know how they do it, but I'm glad they do!

Very friendly neighborhood dinner…read more This was our first time trying out Andary's, grill and deli. We came here with our children and the weight. Staff was absolutely fantastic and the manager was nothing but friendly and hospitable. We ordered cheese sticks two kids meals, as well as a cheeseburger and a Reuben. Everything came out as expected. The chicken tenders were way better than we thought that they would be and we recommend getting those. The adult cheeseburger leaves a little bit to be desired. The patty was very thin and left a bit to be desired but the fries and friendly service definitely made up for that. The Ruben was good and the girls loved the tenders and grilled cheese and the cheese sticks. We were greeted as soon as we came in, felt well taken care of, and we will definitely be back. Very family friendly and I could see telling our friends and family about this cute little diner.

The city was bustling with people, and I was pleasantly surprised by how gorgeous the downtown area was. The café had a vibrant, energetic atmosphere that perfectly matched the excitement of the city. Our server was absolutely amazing and made excellent recommendations. The portions were generous, and the food was delicious. Based on the recommendation, I ordered the corned beef hash with the cinnamon pancakes, and both were fantastic. Next time, I definitely want to try the red velvet pancakes! My friend ordered the Triple Triple Omelette with the original buttermilk pancakes, and we both chose the cheesy grits. The cheesy grits were very creamy, though I would recommend adding a little more butter to enhance the flavor. That was really my only critique. The restaurant was busy, but after dining there, I completely understand why. Despite the crowd, we were greeted immediately, and the service was prompt throughout our visit. Overall, Hudson Café delivered great food, outstanding service, generous portions, and a fun atmosphere. I will most certainly be back the next time I'm in downtown Detroit!

It was a rainy morning and we chose not to go anywhere else, and waited our 20 minutes to be seated. This restaurant is bustling, and you can tell it is well liked. My fiancé had the omelette, and I had the Berry waffle. My waffle had fresh strawberries and blueberries on top along with compote. It was not quite what I was expecting, it seemed to be more like stewed fruit juice, but I enjoyed it. My fiancé enjoyed his omelette as well. I ordered a side of bacon, and it came with four very large slices of bacon. It's definitely not a cheap place to breakfast, as my waffle with bacon on the side was nearly $22. But if you want a green breakfast place the various breakfast options, including multiple types of waffles, grapes, eggs, pancakes, benedetc., then this is the place.
