The food here was really good across the board! My only wish is that they had more mocktail options on the menu, but I ordered a Shirley Temple and it hit the spot. We started with skinny fries and dynamite shrimp to share, both were sooo good. The tempura shrimp was perfectly battered and the sauce really set it off. The fries were perfectly seasoned too, and the dipping sauces were delicious, especially the honey mustard. For my entrée I got the lobster roll, which came with more skinny fries (yay!) My friend ordered the fish tacos, which came more wrap-style instead of traditional taco shells, but she said they were still really good. We ended with the key lime pie and it was so good I had to order a second one to go and enjoy at home. 10/10 read more

First time here. I was told make a reservation otherwise you might have to wait a long time. We were sat 15 minutes after checking in. I requested table vs booth and they went to sit us in a booth. That was quickly corrected. Waiter promptly took drink order. We waited a long time 15+ minutes to even be asked if we were ready to order. When waiter finally arrived we ordered appetizers and entrees to avoid any prolonged wait. The food is excellent and definitely worth the price charged. The burger is excellent, definitely a great burger. I definitely recommend it and would order again. The lobster Mac n cheese is divine. Definitely in top of best ever Mac n cheese. Wife said fish tacos were good. The appetizers are all fantastic. The long wait at the start of our visit really made a negative impact on an otherwise excellent experience. read more

Hudson House - Chicken Parm - Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Great burger and martini happy hour on weekdays. We went Saturday for oysters and my friend really wanted sushi which I was skeptical about at a place like this but oh my goodness it was so good!! We also got their lobster mac and cheese which has huge noodles, super creamy, lobster chunks and not too much cheese on top. We got lucky for a seat at the bar but reservations recommended for sure. Beautiful space although a bit dark and sultry. Great service at the bar. read more

Hudson house is cool! It's actually a really big place, definitely bigger inside than it looked outside imo. Our server was super helpful and attentive, really appreciated that! The food was also really good, I took off one star cause it wasn't "mind blowing" per se, but I was quite full after my salad (Montauk tuna). We also got some fries that we shared for the table which were good (really liked the sauces!), and I had a French 75 which was pretty good. Bathrooms were definitely immaculate. The vibe inside reminds me of a more upscale Olive Garden if that makes sense? It's nice in general. Overall: would def come back, this is a nice place! Not my fave place in Dallas, but quite good. read more

This was, hands down, the best Mac and cheese that I have EVER had at a restaurant. It's cheesy, creamy, and THE FLAVORS!!! the fish tacos were more like a fish burrito. They were huge. The server was professional without being overbearing and recommended some great food options. All of this is in a cozy space that resembles an elevated seaside diner. I'll definitely be returning. read more

Great food and cocktails. Hudson house is northeastern-seafood-inspired. Their menu reflects that, but they have a number of items that can make anyone happy. We had the burger which was fantastic, as well as the lobster roll which was delicious. They usually have several different types of oysters on the half shell. In the beginning, our waiter was a little bit in the weeds, but he certainly made up for it with his kind demeanor and attentiveness. read more

I love this place so much. I recently took my family hero while visiting Dallas and had a great food experience. I will say my stonefruit cocktail/martini did taste a tad different (less balanced, on the sour side) and was not filled up as much as it typically was so that was a minor complaint that I had. However, my entrée made up for that as it was so good! I ordered the French chicken. The chicken was nice and juicy which I appreciated because it was a chicken breast. The sauce that comes with was a great addition with the fries as it kind of reminded me of steak au poivre but with chicken. I was also craving a salad so it was a great touch that it came with it as well. It's such a balanced dish and satisfies my cravings all in one. Service was great and I called 15 minutes before I arrive to try to grab a table as I didn't see anything online and they were pretty accommodating. For a mid dinner reservation on a Saturday it was pretty full, but parking was still ample. read more

Love this spot! Reservations needed and good for smaller parties but they do have a private room for large parties too. Delicious staple in dallas! Highly recommend the martinis, burger, filet, and fish tacos!! Great spot for small group dinner or lunch. They also have a nice happy hour and bar area for walk-ins! read more

Let me start with the fact that my wife and I love Hudson House Lakewood so much. The food, drinks, and ambience are tremendous. We equate this to a Hillstones or even R&D Cafe, but closer to where we live (Lake Highlands). There's a range of variety of food across a range of price points. Their entree salads are giant. Their chicken is tender and delicious. Their burgers are great. There's never been anything we haven't enjoyed, including drinks. The ambience is a sunny, East Coast coast old world (1940-1950s) that has been modernized through decor, design, and art. There's a lot of brass fixtures, nods to old world bar/restaurants. And yet their artwork is like a modern art museum. Service - We always enjoy everyone who serves us. You can tell these are full-time professional servers who have done this for a living. There are some regular servers we see, but most often the faces we see each time are newer or familiar. Perhaps their server staff is just that big, or perhaps there's some turnover at this location. It's hard to say. However, my biggest gripe about Hudson House is that the commercial aspects of the business are something we'd heard from staff regularly. For example, I've been told numerous times about the reservations, numbers of seats, time limit of the reservation, etc. This hasn't been a one-off. I've had this come up from multiple servers and at least two hosts. One time with a party of 3 adults and two children, the server told us technically they would see this size as 5 seats for ordering, implying that small children don't bring revenue. Just last night: We had a host offer us a table of 6 but told us we'd only have 60 minutes to stay there. Thankfully we had a reservation for 4 already. The email reservation mentioned all reservations are for 90 minutes. I've never had a restaurant that so put this in the customers face. It's clear Vandelay management hammers these servers and hosts with the commercials, but customers really shouldn't be privy to the fact that they have a 90 min time limit - especially at a higher-end restaurant like Hudson House. Hillstones hurries you along, brings you the check ASAP, but it's sort of implied / unstated. Hudson House Lakewood actually talks about some of these behind-the-scenes commercial aspects to its customers, which is off-putting. read more

A very small bottle of Coke is $5. For the price of the food, it isn't worth it. I ordered $49 steak frites and requested medium. When it arrived, it was well done (no pink in it whatsoever). Had it not been covered in sauce, it would have been inedible. Someone else in our party ordered the same thing (prepared the same way, medium), and it was served rare. Our waitress dropped off our check mid-meal and didn't offer us dessert (which we wanted). We won't be back. If you consider this place, there are so many better restaurants at the price point. read more

This is the 2nd time I've been here. First time I went to the Addison location. I had actually been craving this meal which is why I went back. I did prefer the other location over this one. The fries were over cooked and extremely salty and the roll had entirely too much butter. Both locations were equally loud and the staff was attentive at both. read more

I admittedly was here (on 12/15) hoping for the extravagant Christmas decor but they only do that at the Lovers location FYI! Despite this the decor is very cute and they did have a tree/minimal decorations up at the time. I originally ordered the burger but they said they were out of it which felt odd for 6pm on a Sunday but I went with the fish taco instead. I was impressed with how big the portion was! It was full of flavor and I loved the sauce and salad it came with. I also ordered a side of the Mac and cheese. It wasn't the best Mac in the world seemed pretty bland but still good. I also got a stone fruit martini rimmed with citric acid which was sweet and strong! My server was kind and helpful with alterations to my boyfriend's entree. Will definitely come back for happy hour to try the burger. read more

Hudson House - Restroom - Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Hudson House impressed me with its tasty healthy options - I was very happy with the Greek salad and coleslaw for their freshness and flavor. The place has a cozy vibe - not quite as Christmas-y as I was hoping. Seems that the heavy Christmas decorations are reserved for the location near highland park. The negative part of our experience was that a lot of the menu was already out of the stock for the night, at 745. The French chicken was completely sold out, as was their burger. Felt extra disappointing to me for them to not have these two items on a Sunday night at a reasonable time. read more

This place was delicious ! You absolutely need reservations . We came in on a Wednesday evening around 5:45 and it was PACKED . This is a great spot to meet up with a friend or go out on a date. It is smaller, so I wouldn't bring a large party here because it can get cramped quickly. WHAT WE ORDERED : - half a dozen oysters ( yum ! ) love that they give you a handout with all their available oysters and you can just write in how much of each you want. - pressed tuna sushi ( soooo delicious ) - Beverly salad ( a healthy portion and great flavor ) - the cheeseburger ( had to steal some bites from my fiance ) - truffle parm fries and skinny fries ( ask for the truffle honey mustard !!) - French 75 ( not too strong but a great kick ) The only hiccup was we were given a bill to another table. We actually didn't even notice and the waitress caught her mistake before overcharging us. So just be sure to check your bill beforehand :) All in all, a great experience . Would love to come back. read more

Came for a large group brunch and had a wonderful time. Smash: - Brunch wrap - the best thing on the brunch menu imo, it looks small on the plate but it is very filling - The pancakes - lemon poppyseed pancakes, a little indulgent but not overpowering, they're good - Popcorn chicken - flash fried to perfection, you can't go wrong - fries - also a crowd pleaser, I wish it came with an aioli! - eggs Benedict - man I love a Benedict and this did the trick Pass: - Avocado dip - it was fine just not memorable.. it comes with a ton of cilantro, so avoid if you have cilantro hating friends! - Shrimp dynamite - another ok option, came on a lil bed of veggies which was a good contrast to the heaviness - Hudson sandwich - idk the brunch wrap is just better so I'd have to pass on this one Drinks: You have to get the martinis here, they're good. read more

First off, I have to say the staff was excellent! From the greeters, the hostess, to the servers, everyone was so pleasant and accommodating. The food was scrumptious! We ordered the pancake as our appetizer, it fed 3 adults and 2 babies just fine! It was so soft and fluffy! This pancake was one of the most unique pancakes I've had, it wasn't flat at all and the berries and fresh whipped cream were the perfect topping. We ordered the popcorn chicken and it came out piping hot, the dipping sauces were the perfect accompaniment, I really enjoyed the mustard sauce! We also ordered the lobster Benedict. I tried a forkful from my husband and I just say that I don't like Benedict dishes, but I would absolutely order this for myself. And the cheeseburger was perfection. The seasoned half pickle was a nice surprise! Can't wait to go back! read more

Always great. The best happy hour menu too. Lakewood and park cities are the best ones. No smelling strong fragrance either. Yay.

The food is good, and the atmosphere is fine. But unfortunately they have lost the thread on customer service. No chance of ever getting them to pick up the phone. The weird time limit on table times, and treating walk-ins as if they are something to be scrapped of their shoe. It appears that their success has gone to their heads. read more

Cute place ! I would recommend making reservations in advance it gets really crowded. We went to celebrate my mom's birthday. We had the best time, the waitstaff was great and the food was tasty!

Okay hear me out. This is a hot take in Dallas but I do think Hudson house is overrated and therefore overpriced. I think there is much better food you can get in Dallas for that level. HOWEVER the service is great. and HOWEVER this salad truly is phenomenal and unique and keeps us coming back. I do wish they would have a better dressing for it though. I'm tempted to bring the cilantro lime sauce from Coco Shrimp in my pocket and pour it on this read more

I'm so happy we got to try this place. We came on a Wednesday night and it was super busy. To start we got a lemon drop martini and margarita, both were very good. I love the lemon foam on top. The ambience is super nice inside and the customer service was great. For food we started with the shrimp appetizer which was tasty. For our meals we each got a hamburger and it was by far the best burger I've had in a long time. It was very big and filling. The food also came out so fast. I did try and espresso martini which I wasn't a fan of because it was way too sweet. I can't wait to return. read more

A remarkable feat of the culinary arts! My Wife and I went to Hudson House to celebrate our 6-month wedding anniversary and it was delightful! It was stylish in both decor and service; it felt and looked like a mid-century local restaurant from the 1950s. The service was stellar - I am personally grateful for my server, "Rita or Riya", who was superbly professional! I treated myself to a stone fruit martini - it was a fantastic blend of fruits and vodka that made my heart merry! The food is one another level! My Wife and I ordered the fish tacos for her, the Cheeseburger for me, and Truffle Fries & Avocado with chips for us to share (). The Cheeseburger was "serious" as in "seriously good"! I still haven't tried every burger in Dallas but I would put Hudson House's up there! The truffle fries were also rich in flavor - Beware: They could lead to an addiction! I have to give a huge thanks to my employers at TWT for providing the gift card that enabled my Wife and I to enjoy this marvelous dinner! Thank you read more

I think this is now my favorite place to come for happy hour in all of DFW! I love oysters, and when I saw they had a happy hour with them, I had to come. Their happy hour is from 3-6. My friend and I got there around 4:30 thinking we'd beat the crowd. We were wrong! Apparently we are late to the party with this very popular spot. It was only about a 20 min wait before we got a seat in the bar area. We were also offered martinis while we waited up front, which was really excellent service. The oysters were cold and fresh. Their burger ($10 on the happy hour menu) is one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. The blue and gold martini is THE best martini I think I've ever had. This is also a great spot for people watching. Really fun crowd! read more

Just cannot understand why there are never any reservations available on Open Table and whenever you arrive at the restaurant, it is empty and stays empty the whole time we are there. The ceiling tiles were never updated from the old IHOP that was once there. read more

OK, I need to start it off with we love coming to this place. It has been one of our favorite happy hour joints for years and has been such an amazing place that we have cherished so many memories. However. Tonight was not one of those nights of cherished memories we showed up for happy hour and received martinis on happy hour that were less than an entire glass. They were half full, which makes sense why they are half priced. It was such a scam and made us really consider whether we will continue to come back here for happy hour if your drinks are half full. Bad experience tonight and wouldn't recommend happy hour martinis if you're looking for an actual martini that's filled to the brim shaken ice cold. read more

Hudson House - A half full martini this was how it was served to me. - Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Always a favorite place for happy hour specials on oysters, hamburgers, and martinis (50% off) . Unfortunately the Lake Highlands location only serves this special at the bar sears which were full most of the time we were there. Suggest trying other HH locations where more seats available or policy to save it wherever they seat you. Even without specials, HH has great food and service at a slightly higher than most price. It can be noisy so save your important conversations for somewhere else. read more

Ok, so while this is a "chain", it sure doesn't feel like one when you come in. This particular one I've decided to call my Oyster home, is run fantastically. While the lady doesn't like to sit at the bar, I sure do, because not only is the service wicked good, it's fast, friendly and you can see the magic behind the bar as they consistently rip out martini, cocktail and wine with speed and precision. It is a bit loud, but that is due to popularity. The din is one of utter enjoyment by the patrons. The raw bar is ridiculously good. Just tonite, I had 6 different, pristine oyster varietals, with the accoutrements you would expect. The best part, they are only desired sparingly. The different textures, brininess and liquor flavors are intoxicating. I can't help but have at least 2 dozen, while not cheap, it is worth the experience. While I've only had the oysters and martini's, the lady said the chicken parm is darn good. I cannot recommend enough. This raw bar is right up there with places I've been in NY, Baltimore and Charleston. You will not be disappointed. It gets darn busy, so I'd suggest reservations. We've just free-wheeled it and managed a spot at the bar (my favorite so lucky me). Make sure to speak up, but it's well worth it. Bring your big card, these oysters aren't cheap, but they're worth it. Slainte Mhaith, K- read more

I went here for the first time Tuesday and it met all my expectations! If you are planning on going here, make sure to get a reservation. We did not have one but we were lucky enough to get a great spot at the bar. Service was great! The bartender was great at answering all our questions and helped me decide on what to order. Our drinks were delicious. I got the popcorn chicken appetizer for my meal and it was more than enough! Came with different sauces and was really yummy. The chicken was super flavorful and tasted different than normal chicken tenders. If you are a big chicken tender person, I highly recommend these. My friend for ten Greek salad which was the other thing I was debating on getting and she said it was amazing! I will definitely be getting that the next time I go back. The ambiance was fun and elegant. The only thing to note is that the restaurant as a whole is really loud with talking. Not the restaurants fault but If you are hard of hearing you may want to go at a less busy time. I didn't mind though and can't wait to go back! read more
