    Popcorn Chicken
    Morgan W.

    I'm newer to Hudson house but have been four times now over the last couple of months and it is pretty consistent. I've been to both locations so I will leave this review on both... Although I like the Gray St., Location a little better taste wise for my dynamite shrimp, I think that the University Blvd location is easier to get a reservation. This is a really good choice for date night, a family event or a girl's night. Always nice, clean and bright. Surprisingly, the chicken Parm is one of my favorite dishes here. It's probably top two for me and I've had a lot of chicken Parm. The burger is my second choice; it is so good! One of my favorite appetizers is the Dynamite Shrimp and the salad that's under has a fire dressing that they should bottle. But overall, I've tried several things with the people I've gone with, and there's nothing bad on the menu. Definitely get a reservation in advance... This isn't really a place you can just walk in unless you're sitting at the bar and you've gotten there at a good time. Parking is valet at the gray street location. It's very hard to find regular parking there. You can find parking pretty easily at the University Blvd location. My only real complaint is the service is slow... And I've had different servers at different locations and they all don't really move with a sense of urgency. It takes them a while to get back to you so you can place an order... It takes a while for them to bring out your drinks. Overall, just slow service and that's why I deducted a star.

    This was the perfect pick for my solo Sunday brunch. I made a last-minute reservation for one. Parking was ample (paid parking), I walked in and was immediately greeted by the ladies at the front and sat right after. My waitress was super nice, made suggestions and helped me decided between the pancakes and french toast. I finally settled on a strawberry spritz and french toast. It came out quick and was hot! I was sat in a corner booth alone, it was quiet and I was able to listen to some audio things I downloaded for moments as such. I will be back.

    First thing's first: I went on a Friday evening with no reservation and the place was PACKED lol. If you are wanting to dine in, I would recommend reserving a table unless you don't mind a long wait or trying to find a seat at the bar. Fortunately for me, I was cool with ordering take-out lol. I went strictly for the lobster roll - had seen and heard great things so was excited to find out for myself. ***Disclaimer: Because it was packed and there was a little miscommunication between service and the kitchen my order was ready for a little minute before it was given to me so my food wasn't the most fresh. Lobster roll - it was cool. I liked the bread and could tell that if it was fresh it would've been soft, fluffy & yummy to my liking. The lobster is cold inside the bread (which I personally did not know it would be, as it was my first ever lobster roll). I liked the taste of the lobster and the amount they give but the cold temp was throwing me off just a bit. I would give it a 7/10. I did, however, recently discover that you would order the lobster to be warmed. This is probably what I would do next time. The skinny fries - these were the moment for me!!!! 10/10. I'm a fry fanatic so I really appreciated how delicious and well fried/seasoned they were, especially coming from a dine-in restaurant. I would go back and order 2 orders of these alone. Even with them not being the freshest, they were amazing. Overall, I would definitely go back (either with a reservation or during a weekday when they're not busy) because the place is cute and they had alot of options on their menu that look good. Also, to try the lobster roll warmed and of course, for those delicious skinny fries.

    Dynamite Shrimp

    Really enjoyed the vibe here! There's plenty of parking, although most of the area is metered, so just keep that in mind. We came during happy hour and I ordered the frozen peach Bellini and the burger. The Bellini was really good. I ended up ordering two. The only issue was that the second one came out unfrozen instead of frozen. They did take it back without any problem and let us wait for a frozen one, which I appreciated, but I do wish they would've just asked first if we were okay waiting a little longer for it to freeze. The burger was decent, although I personally wasn't a fan of the pickles. The fries were really good though, and the dynamite shrimp was definitely a standout. My friend ordered the lobster roll and absolutely loved it, especially the butter. Overall, good food, great atmosphere, and I'd definitely come back!

    French Chicken

    Always a hit! We like to go to Hudson house after a Sunday morning workout or walk. The French chicken and salads are my favorite!

    First time at Hudson House and would I return to this establishment? Maybe. Once entering you could see they had a lot of customers and the hostess let us know that there would be a wait we asked how long and they suggested we go find a seat at the bar. After seeing there were no seats at the bar we returned to the hostess stand standing behind a couple (just 2 people) and saw they were escorted to a table when we were told they no longer had any at that moment. We were then asked if we wanted to be seated outside, trying to still be positive about the experience we said yes and headed outside. During the time we were there the waiter tripped over the oversized umbrella three times which almost fell and hit my partner each time. We received our drinks my first one had a piece of hair in it that I sent back which I'm sure they just picked the hair out of it. I originally asked for a espresso martini and the waiter stated that it was too late to have one and that I should try the Stone Fruit martini and that they had the coldest martinis around which all wasn't true at least not our beverages. We ended up only ordering one round of drinks and a shrimp appetizer which was also on the cold side and that's not because we were sitting outside because once we received it we started to eat. Our waiter also didn't provide us with any water until we asked for them with our check. Overall I can't comment on the ambiance because we were sat outside (after being told there were no seats inside and then watching another party of two that just walked in BEHIND us be sat) the drinks were mid and so was the appetizer. I said I would return maybe and that's only because the menu said they had a great hamburger.

    Really great spot in Rice Village for lunch and happy hour. The lemon drop martini is my favorite, and my friends and family who have tried it definitely agree. My favorite salad is the Beverly and it never disappoints. The salad portions are huge and will definitely leave you very full. The dynamite shrimp appetizer is also amazing Service is always great and everyone who works here is very friendly

    Service 5 stars! The place is nicely decorated, has a fun atmosphere and great art pieces all over the walls. Located in bustling Rice village. I found street parking for free a block down. There paid lots, and garage also. I think there is valet in that area as well. Came here for the first time with a group of Yelpers. We had a resy. But it wasn't full when we arrived at 11:30a on a Saturday but it filled up as the afternoon went on. Food- after reading the reviews there was the one thing that seemed to have positive feedback, so I went with that. I ordered the burger and it was yum. They have a lobster roll, that my friends had ordered. That thing seemed so tiny, and the reviews were mid so I steered clear. Service- was fabulous. Our server was Nicholas Tilman. He was so good to us, was charming, fun, and gave great service despite being so busy. He was the bartender made all of the drinks and the server, double duty is a lot. Management reading this: please give this man a raise. He didn't rush us out. Drink- I got a mocktail that our server created, and was happy with. My friends enjoyed there cocktails as well. I like that there is an option to scan a QR code and still split checks for each person at the table. Then pay online rather than wait for a individual check for each person. It's very efficient. If this is the new system of dining, I am loving it. I would def come back specifically for this server.

    My friends and I like to do a monthly brunch to catch up and eat good food. Hudson House was our stop this month. This is their second location in Houston and is located in Rice Village. If you're from Houston, you know this area is busy, especially on the weekends. You do have to pay for parking out front or go to the garage where I believe parking is free the first two hours. Reservations are highly recommended. We were some of the first customers of the day but it got really busy after the few hours we were here. Customer service here was top notch. When we arrived, they put us in a booth with four place settings, but we were a party of five. Without hesitation, the hostess moved us to a larger corner booth and got us comfortable. The star of the show was Nicolas though. He was our waiter/bartender. He was doing it all. He was super friendly and very helpful. He was also making drinks as they were ordered. He definitely went above and beyond! I didn't come super hungry so I skipped on appetizers. I saw some of their popular items being delivered to nearby tables and regretted that choice. I did start off with an espresso martini which was very tasty. I usually lean towards breakfast items at brunch but totally went the other direction and got the French Chicken. It's sous vide chicken breasts that are sliced thinly with a Cajun seasoning and a lemon sauce on top. This chicken was excellent. I usually like dark meat, but the slow cooking made for a very juicy chicken. It was also served with skinny fries and an arugula salad. It was a very well balanced meal. You got the light chicken and salad with a little mound of fries as the indulgent part of the meal. I would get this again. My group got a variety of popular items and every plate was clean by the time we were done. I like that you have a QR code at the table to pay your bill and they even allow for the bill to be split. I think all restaurants should do it this way. Overall, I really liked Hudson House and it will definitely be a place I will be coming back to.

    Came for a late lunch Sunday with a friend! We were sat immediately, the service was a bit slower today but still okay; our food was amazing as always! I got my lobster roll warmed and it was delicious, a great serving of lobster and the roll was nice and buttery. Hudson Houses fries are some of my favorites and I absolutely love the jack salad (it's also served with the French chicken)! Hudson House is easily becoming a go to for me and has such a great ambiance, both locations

    Lobster Roll & Parm Truffle Fries
    Wendy H.

    I've been to Hudson House a few times now, most recently last Saturday with my sister. We had a reservation, which is definitely needed since they book up every weekend. Even though it was super busy, our waitress was incredibly attentive. I've also come during the week for happy hour, and their drink deals are really good. This time around, I ordered a lemon drop martini, which was good, but I think I still prefer their French 75. For food, I had the lobster roll, which was buttery and delicious, and of course the truffle parmesan fries, which are always a go-to. My sister ordered the cheeseburger, and having tried it before, I know it's really good as well. We also shared the lobster mac and cheese -- it was good, but I'd probably skip it next time and try something else instead. Overall, we really enjoyed our dinner and will definitely keep coming back.

    I visited one of Houston's hot spots this weekend and I think it's safe to say that understand why. We had a reservation for 12 for my homegirls bday so they can definitely accommodate a large group. As soon as I walk in the smell of fresh truffle fries will smack you right in your face and I absolute loved it. This is such a perfect place to have lunch on a beautiful afternoon and apparently they have a nice happy hour from 3-6 on weekdays so I'll have to check that out. Okay so let's talk about how one of these frozen Bellinis almost had me laid out in the middle of the afternoon. Their drinks are so strong and soo good you wouldn't even see sneaking up on you! The food was also phenomenal! I Powell's had the dynamite shrimp and the lobster roll with truffle fries and I have no critiques, it was perfect! Everyone at my table loved their food as well, I literally didn't here or complaint. Also Shoutout to our server Jenifer she was amazing and the customer service was top tier! I was late to the party but will definitely be back for more .

    Avocado dip
    Cassie T.

    This place is always busy, it's best to make reservations. The ambiance, service, and food are all great. Everything we ordered was absolutely great. We ordered the avocado dip and shrimp cocktail to share and I ordered the Hudson salad which was massive. 10/10 for everything. Definitely a spot I would come back for dinner or happy hour.
