Ambiance: The restaurant is very lively and was very busy on a Saturday evening. There were plenty of celebrations and parties! Food: The food was delicious! I ordered the dynamite shrimp and panseared redfish. Both dishes were really phenomenal! Service: Our server was really great! He checked in on us often, and made sure we were taken care of! We eventually went to the bar after paying for our meal to chat some more! The bartenders were so friendly and great! We had a great time! read more

The food was good, but too expensive for what it was. $30 for chicken parm is a little over the top. But it was a large portion, was served hot, and had good flavor and texture. Service rhythm was good. However, everyone at the table was from Louisiana and the server couldn't tell us what was used in the "Cajun" spices on the French Chicken. After checking with the kitchen, she came back and said pepper and other Cajun...stuff. You'd think that would be a basic training lesson and menu knowledge you'd have to grasp before being given a section. Don't put vague descriptions in print if your staff can't break them down when the guest asks questions. On a side note, I know for a fact that this company requires all their managers to be clean shaven. Yet, I saw a cook/chef with a fairly thick, quasi-biker beard working the line in an open kitchen in clear view of guests. Kind of ironic. I'd rather the dude making my food be clean shaven for obvious reasons. Unlikely that I return. read more

Honesty is one of the most important qualities in running a business. Tonight, Matt, the manager, told us that due to the delay in getting our table, he would provide a complimentary appetizer or soup. Later, when Emely, our server, brought the bill, the soup and my iced tea appeared to have been removed from the receipt. We appreciated the gesture and thanked them for the service. However, we did not receive a full printed receipt, so I scanned the QR code to view the final receipt online. That was when I discovered the total amount charged had not actually been reduced at all. The "removed" items were still effectively included in the final price. We were not expecting free items or discounts. The disappointing part was being told something was complimentary, seeing items appear removed, but ultimately still being charged the full amount. That felt very dishonest and left a bad impression after what had otherwise been a pleasant evening. read more

It's a good burger but is it the BEST burger in DFW? No. Before I get to the burger, I want to talk about the pickle that comes with your order. I think that's just TOO MUCH pickle. They literally give you half of a giant cucumber! The burger was good. It's juicy and smothered in cheese. Kinda messy to eat. But in the end, it's still just a normal burger. And yes, there's also pickles in the burger as well. I did enjoy The Truffle Parm Fries. They're "skinny" fries so it's easier to eat; very flavorful and tasty. I sat at the bar and the service was friendly and good. read more

Loved how there was a spicy option for the salad, and our server was attentive despite it being a busier day. Perfect happy hour ambiance! Just wish the salad came with more dressing so we didn't have to constantly request more. read more

Hudson House - The Hudson - Seafood Near Me - Irving, Texas

Tried Hudson House for the first time during happy hour and it did not disappoint. The vibe was energetic on a Thursday afternoon. From the start, the service stood out. Our server was genuinely kind, patient, and walked us through the menu and options without rushing us. The food? Delicious across the board. * Hamachi truffle roll - fresh, lemony, but a little light on the truffle. * French chicken - tender with that rich burre blanc sauce but not as good as the fish. * Blackened redfish - seasoned beautifully with just the right amount of spice. Our favorite dish of the evening. * Frozen Bellini - light, refreshing, and ideal for happy hour. * Gold & Blue martini - smooth and well-crafted. * And yes... we grabbed a cheeseburger to go because we couldn't resist. For a first visit, Hudson House delivered. Great food, great drinks, great service. Already looking forward to going back. read more

Hudson House is a popular seafood restaurant known for it's fresh selection of oysters and great Cheeseburger ($10 during Happy Hour). Heads up - this location may be a victim of its own success. My Overall Rating - 3 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - Kudos to Hudson House for making the most of a small space. There is a full bar, a dedicated spot for oysters, and cozy booths that are comfortable and inviting. It's also always busy at lunch. You can now make reservations on OpenTable, so be sure you do so if timing is an issue. 1 Star. Service - While our servers are professional and fantastic, the hostess at the front needs help. During my lunch visit, there was a long line. Even though I arrived 5 min before my reservation (made on OpenTable). I had to wait. After about 10 minutes, I got back in line then another person skipped in front of me to talk to the hostess. I made a snarky comment and eventually I was seated. But it wasn't a good experience. 1/2 Star Food - While the menu is limited, it's very good. I started with the Dynamite Shrimp. The presentation of the dish was as great as the plump, juicy shrimp. If you're a fan of Asian flavors, you'll like this dish. And yes, I know Hudson House is a seafood restaurant, but they serve one of the best cheeseburgers in the city. I'll order this double patty burger even outside of Happy Hour because the patties are beefy, juicy, and the cheese is perfectly melty. The only downside is that Hudson House is not cheap. 1 Star. Will I Return? - I don't know. I'll probably come back, but only during Happy Hour or when it's not as crowded. There are multiple Hudson House locations throughout DFW so I won't let my experience with the hostess keep me from that cheeseburger. 1/2 Star. read more

Arrived with a large party and had a private room - food was good, as a beer drinker I was slightly disappointed by the limited selection - all in all, everyone seemed to enjoy the meal - we did not try any sushi, if we return, we'd definitely want to check that out read more

Although this is a chain, loved the setting and the layout of the interior. Roomy tables and comfortable chairs & booths. Great cocktails to start, (my Gold & Blue martini was AMAZING) and we tried some oysters and shrimp appetizers, which were excellent. For dinner, we had lobster mac n cheese (was average, needed more lobster), chicken parm was excellent, and a tasty burger. Our server was great, providing stellar service and offering great suggestions on what to enjoy! Will def be back next time we are in Dallas area. read more

We had Sunday brunch here after our grown son had been suggesting this place for months. I was a little skeptical because their menu is limited and pricey but gave it a shot. I will say it's an upscale experience from the time you set foot inside. That ended shortly after we were seated. When the waiter brought us canned soda and said it's $4 a can. No refills and no soda machine at an upscale restaurant?????? The service was slow and we had to chase down our waiter a couple of times for refills of water. It was almost as if he was slightly offended when I questioned $4 a can on our refill. Now to be fair the chips that came with the avocado dip were amazing and the tuna crisps were as well. I got the cheeseburger and truffle fries. It was just OK. Really nothing fancy and the truffle fries barely had enough seasonings to give you that taste. My wife and son liked their salads and salmon. Honestly, over priced and underwhelming on service and taste for what they want to charge. read more

Brenden is an amazing server and Stephen is an amazing manager. This place is packed for a reason! The martinis and food were 100% on point and so delicious! Our server recommended the bang bang shrimp and it has great flavor! I will 100% be back to this location! read more

I went here for brunch with one of my longtime friends and we absolutely enjoyed the experience. It was a quiet but busy and full establishment, everyone was stressed nicely and the customer service was a 10 out of 10. The food was delicious. It came out quickly. We just couldn't eat everything and we took a lot of things to go. The lemon poppyseed pancakes were amazing, the French toast was amazing, the Pallini frozen drinks were just to die for I would definitely return. The building was also very beautiful, very clean and very well put together. read more

Dropped in for lunch on Saturday afternoon and easily grabbed a seat at the bar. Service was attentive right away. I decided to try something outside my usual and ordered the Beverly salad--so glad I did! It was great, generously portioned, and all the flavors blended together perfectly. The layout is a bit different from the Fort Worth location, but the restaurant was clean, well staffed, and everyone I interacted with was friendly. I'd definitely visit again when I'm in the area. read more

I always hear about this place on social media and finally decided to drop in and see what the big deal was. Honestly, other than it was a pricey lunch, I have no complaints. I kind of like how the menu isn't overwhelming, but just simple food done really well. I ordered the Hudson salad (I saw so many TT videos about it) and the boyfriend ordered the cheeseburger with fries, and we both split the shrimp appetizer. The burger tasted like a really delicious McDonalds burger to me. It was super cheesy and had that special sauce going on. And the salad? A great lunch option but was incredibly filling. They definitely didn't skimp out on the avocados or the bacon. Again, this is such a simple salad, but done really well. All of the ingredients were incredibly fresh and the chicken was moist because no one wants to eat dry chicken in a salad! No notes on the shrimp other than it was really good. I'd probably order something different for an app next time, but I'd go back for the salad or the burger any time! read more

This place had been on my list for a long time to try and I finally made it here. Came on a busy Saturday and sat at the bar to avoid the long wait for a table. The bar seating gives you a nice view of the kitchen and you can see the chefs at work making the wonderful food here. Had to try the oysters first and they were amazing and so fresh like they are straight from the ocean. Keeping the seafood coming I got the lobster roll and it was delicious. My friend got the burger and I had a bite. It was a really good burger that I may have to get for myself next time. The bar servers were very nice and friendly and even told me about how great the happy hour is and that I should come for it. Definitely coming back soon and will try to make a happy hour to enjoy the deals they have. read more

Hudson House is tucked in on the corner of MacArthur in Irving. It's a great lunch or dinner location with great service and amazing food. You won't go wrong with anything on the menu but my personal favorites are the French chicken or the lobster roll. The French chicken is a perfect girl dinner with perfectly suave chicken served on top of a vinaigrette salad topped with fries. You can upgrade your fries with truffle fries instead. They also have a lobster mac cheese which is to die for as well. The restaurant vibe is quiet and very cozy. The Dallas main location has special Christmas decorations every year which is amazing during the holiday season. read more

Hudson's was great! Went on a weeknight and the place was buzzing. Apparently they have a fantastic happy hour so will need to go a bit earlier next time. Our server was attentive and friendly. The decor almost seemed like an old school family restaurant so I was tempering my expectations for the food but it was so good! I had the French chicken which was just yummy. I don't usually order chicken at restaurants but I'm really glad I did. That and the fries were cooked perfectly. And the Jack's salad that came with it was great. I had a nice glass of rose that went perfectly with my meal. My friend got the fish tacos and really liked them as well. Now for dessert-we decided to split the key lime pie. I actually make homemade key lime pie with limes from my tree and feel like most restaurants miss the mark and it's never as good. Not Hudson's. They know how to do it. The pie was nice and tart and had a delicious crust. I will definitely be back next time I'm in town. read more

If you haven't been to Hudson House for happy hour what are you waiting for? $3 oysters and 1/2 off martinis. My personal favorite is the Lemon Drop! I promise you'll need at least 2. I always snag a seat at the oyster bar and the service is always quick and attentive. Great ambiance for after work when you need to escape from reality. My go to happy hour read more

This place was buzzing early evening during the week. I ordered famous burger. The meat had a good season and flavor. The sides are a la carte. As an appetizer, I ordered a half dozen Moondancer oysters from Maine. I appreciate the oysters were from the New England area. It makes a huge difference. The accoutrements included a cranberry mignonette. read more

We found a parking spot right away and had a reservation, so we were seated immediately. The waiter was friendly and gave us some suggestions. The food came fast and was delicious.

Stumbled upon this place one day while shopping. I was by myself and underdressed, but it was lunch and I was able to sit at the bar. As always, I found the reviews on Yelp helped me decide where to go! The bartender service was excellent, and I couldn't resist ordering the spicy Mexican. The drink was really good, definitely spicy! Since I was alone, I ordered the shrimp appetizer that was a similar "bang bang" recipe. It was really good and I loved that the salad it was presented on actually had dressing and was edible. It was the perfect size for lunch with a fair amount of protein. I will definitely come back for a date night, especially since it's conveniently right off the highway on the way to Dallas. read more

Ben the bartender was exceptional!! He truly knows what he is doing! This was the best experience I've had at ANY Hudson House!

I like this place for the lobster roll. It's New England style served cold with the lobster salad & the toasted roll is always perfect. The truffle fries have great flavor & I always ask for a pickle on the side. But here's the thing: when I I've ordered take out, the lobster roll is perfectly assembled in the roll ; but when dining in, the roll was barely sliced so the lobster was towered on top of the roll. It made for an impressive presentation, but I practically had to slice the roll & stuff the lobster myself. And to be petty, I took my son here for his 18th birthday & specified that on the reservation AND to the host before being seated & all they offered was "free" dessert. The waiter was so sweet in how he offered it, but it was a little tacky : "hey, since it's your birthday can I offer you a dessert on me?". Again, being petty - but it was a little off putting. Over all, I like the place but wouldn't go out of my way to recommend it. read more

What a great place for happy hour!!! Family had a great time spending time together with their great drinks and food! The cheeseburger is to die for and don't forget to get truffle fries!

My husband and I came here for a double date with friends. We made reservations online and the process was easy. Upon arrival, we were seated immediately and greeted shortly after that. For an appetizer, we got the crispy rice. It was so good! I probably could have eaten a few plates of them haha for entrees, my husband ordered the lobster roll. It had good flavor and adequate amount of meat. I ordered the fish tacos and these were super good. They are not traditional tacos but I was expecting that after seeing other reviews. I got the fish fried and it had really good flavor! I'd like to go back for their happy hour and to try their oysters! read more

Great place to meet and dine with a good menu with a lot of selection, only bummer no beers on tap but a decent list of bottled ones. Plenty of cocktails and wines to pick from though. The hamburger was probably the best burger I had in long time, juicy, on point and flavorful but not too complicated. Kudos! As soon as you cross the doorway the lace appears super cute with character and the bar looks very refined. We got helped right away however slowly slowly the service faded and after waiting 20 minutes for someone checkin on us and bringing the check so, I had to ask to the first person I saw who go figure was a manager. Crisis averted read more

Nine people. Great service. Never missed a beat. With a group that large, we ended up on the front patio. It was fine after the sun went down. The fans did not work. We tried popcorn chicken, shrimp dynamite, and avocado dip for appetizers. Loved the chicken and the shrimp .. we ordered a 2nd round. Do not skip the salad under the shrimp ... great taste. The table had Hudson salads, lobster rolls, fish tacos, and steak frites. Everyone really liked their dinner. The steak were cooked to order. The shoestring fries were a hit. The Paloma was my favorite drink. The espresso martini was a little too chocolatety. So worth the time. Definitely recommend reservations. read more
