Most reliable, exciting food in the area with great vibe. When all else fails go to rail trail

This is the hottest restaurant in Hudson, as best as I can tell. I've been perhaps a dozen times. My experience has varied a lot, from just slightly disappointing to very disappointing. The plusses: the drinks! Good cocktails, great beer selection, I have nothing bad at all to say about the bar. The menu is varied, with many options for vegetarian, gluten free, different levels of spice, etc. I think anyone could find something to be excited to eat there, no matter how picky or what restricted diet they are on. And there are certain dishes that are reliably awesome -- in particular, the Brussels sprouts. I don't like Brussels spouts but I like THESE Brussels sprouts. Always perfect. And it has an upbeat while also cozy atmosphere. The minus: the menu is so loaded with amazing sounding dishes that I always get really excited and then often feel slightly (or more than slightly) disappointed at how it actually turns out. Example: the balsamic fig flatbread sounds SO good, but turned out to be bland and overly sweet. Or the hot tots with bleu cheese -- what a great idea (if you like bleu cheese which I do), but then...meh. So...go for the great drinks, get some brussels sprouts and maybe the Mexican street corn flatbread, but keep your expectations in check for the bulk of the menu. read more

Best food ever literally. The gluten free pizza was amazing!! Service great and truffle fries are to die for!!

Go. We just left and it was exactly what we were looking for. The nicest staff you could ask for, the beer list was impressive, and the flat breads were delicious. We mixed up the flat breads a bit and found some of their fun and tasty combinations. We tried the OBD, Mexican Street Corn, and the Hawaiian. Overall, a wonderful evening. read more

My first experience a few weeks ago with Rail Trail was takeout gluten free flatbread which was due to a cousin with dietary needs. I feel bad for her if this is what gluten free pizza tastes like which is cardboard. I stopped by again tonight with my husband. The restaurant was quite busy, but our wait was only 5 minutes or so. Our waitperson 'Nikki' was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. We ordered Buffalo IPA Wings with ranch and blue cheese dressing. We also split the Carnitas tacos. The wings were served hot and nicely seasoned. The dressings tasted fresh and homemade. The tacos were delicious! Pork was tender and perfectly paired with jalapeño, radishes, and seasoning on two flour tortillas. We'll definitely be back for the tots, mac-n-cheese, and a non-gluten free flatbread. read more

This place is the best. The Goat Pizza is to die for, the bar service is spectacular ( props to Nicole and Mark), the atmosphere is great, and the drink and cocktail menu is great. I found nothing wrong with this place for real. You need to come here if you're in the area. read more

The food at The Rail Trail wasn't bad. I'd rate this restaurant more of a 3.5 Star. We had the sesame calamari as an appetizer which wasn't bad. It had sesame on top (of course) seasoned with a sweet sauce which was unique--wasn't bad. The cilantro gave it a burst of flavor if you like cilantro. Also consist of jalapeño but it wasn't spicy at all. The Hawaiian Pizza consist of pineapple, pulled pork, and caramelized onion which was pretty good but lacked the pineapple. Will probably try something else next time. It was a pretty cool place to chill and enjoy some craft beers with good company. The environment is very lively. Not sure if they had a parking lot so I just parked on the street--so bring your parallel parking chopzzzz. Cheers read more

We always love the Rail Trail - the ambience is amazing, and the gochuchang pizza is fantastic and our favorite thing to order off the menu. Today was made even more wonderful by the great service by Henry, he was extremely attentive and offered us great suggestions. We can't wait to come back! read more

I used to love this place. But now I feel like I can't afford it. I ordered the swordfish tacos which came with the house salad; however, it only came with two small tacos. I ordered some boneless chicken wings so i wouldn't leave hungry. Add on two margaritas and it was $75 with a tip. Not for nothing but the staff wasn't particularly friendly. Not unfriendly but distant, like me eating there was a transaction rather than an experience. I guess it isn't cool to smile anymore when you greet someone or look them in the eye when they are ordering read more

Small, busy festive atmosphere. Food is good, not great and the menu is too limited. When I order an add on to a pizza I expect to get a fair amount of it, this isn't that place for sure. If you add chicken you have to search for it. Overall I like this place, but it could be very very good and it isn't. I would recommend it, but it needs improvement IMO. read more

Went here on a Sunday night with a group of 5. Olivia our server was amazing. She was on top of everything and offered a real relaxed and pleasant vibe. Seating was spacious and comfortable for our group. The manager stopped by our table while we dined and we sure to let him know how satisfied we were and that Olivia was truly a gem! read more

The pizza and food in general here is amazing! The beer list is pretty good too. Highly recommend getting lunch or dinner here.

Holy. Shit. This place is GOOOOD. The best flatbreads I've ever had. So flavorful and rich! We ordered: -3 beers -chicken bacon ranch flatbread (so good!) -Mexican street corn flatbread - AMAZEBALLS $60 Not too bad. And soooo good!!! read more

Prior to COVID's this was an awesome and very good place to eat. But the last two times I been this year have to awful. Tonight we order the chicken parm bowl which we had prior year and it was very good. This time it had the skin on the chicken and it was not like crispy skin in was like uncooked skin that should of been taken off. This turn my stomach so my whole dinner was ruined couldn't eat after that. Also services has been very very slow and seems like it takes hours to eat and pay to Leave. Not sure I will be back. Shame. read more

Hands down the best buffalo chicken on anything I have ever had. This stuff is created from scratch. And I will let you know that if you have followed me, you know that I have a Big mouth both good and bad well in this case it's extremely good. I had a slice of my wife's make your own pizza the crust is amazing. The sourdough gives it a really unique flavor. read more

GREAT FOOD! Good service. Lots of variety -- food and beers. They offer foods you will love and generous portions.

Great ambiance and beer selection, casual yet fun. Got the Pale Ale (forget the name) and sampled 4 pizzas: spanikopita, meatball, chicken bacon ranch and an Asian style chicken. I can't stand Mayo- based sauces and this came on the Asian chicken, chicken bacon ranch, and elote pizza. It's too much with the cheese. Favorite pizza was spanikopita! Loved the dill addition here. Chicken bacon ranch was good, but again, the sauce was overkill with the cheese. Sticky ribs fell off the bone, but flavor was just ok for me. I'd come back and order different options! Great servers, we had Morgan read more

Absolutely incredible 1st experience at Rail Trail! It was our wedding anniversary and we took our 2 daughters to celebrate! They were so accommodating, made us feel right at home. The manager Mike Brooks came and said hello at the end of the night and let us know he shared the same anniversary with us! Same day same year! What are the odds. Super personable staff and waiters. 10 stars all around! did I mention the food and drinks were amazing? Highly recommend!!!!!! read more

Rail Trail is an absolute gem in Hudson! Me and my boyfriend stumbled upon it for brunch one day and then had to go back for dinner. We got the homemade mozzarella sticks (sooo cheesy) and lemon caper brussel sprouts as appetizers. Both were delicious! I had a half basil pesto and half Mexican street corn pizza. The basil pesto was great, but the Mexican street corn pizza was outstanding. Additionally, the cocktails are wonderful, I love the lavender room martini. Highly recommend! read more

Good place. Food is very good! Something different. Drinks are good! The venue itself is beautiful. Service fast and attentive.

My boyfriend's family and I were in the area and needed to grab some grub after spending some time at a nearby farm (social distance outdoors hang out). I happened upon Rail Trail due to recommendations from a coworker who went to the same farm a few weeks prior. At the time of us going, which was back during the summer (yes, I'm aware of the extremely late review - it's been busy), they were allowing for indoor seating, so it definitely stressed me out, but they were taking everyone's temps prior to entering the restaurant, which was good. We ordered a bunch of different pizzas and brought them over to my boyfriend's brother's house to eat. We ordered the following: - Mac N Cheese - Fig & Walnut Flatbread - Melizana Flatbread - Chicken Bacon Ranch Flatbread - Mozzarella Sticks: Delicious! - Truffle Feta Fries: Delicious! - Mexican Street Corn Flatbread: Delicious! I, unfortunately, didn't have the opportunity to try everything we ordered since we ordered for other people, but the things we did eat were great! It was so hard not to eat it all in the car instead of waiting to bring it to their house! If I'm ever in the area again, I would definitely consider getting food here again. I enjoyed it and it we ordered online, making it so much easier for us. read more

Sat on the outdoor patio (no alcohol allowed outside though) for weekday dinner. Service was quick and the food was, for the most part, delicious. Lots of beers to accompany your meal. Highly recommend the eggplant couscous small plate (The Muse). The calamari was standard, but the remoulade was really good. The Korean BBQ pizza is a miss but the Fig & Walnut one is quite good. Will be back to try out some more pizzas and small plates. read more

It was impressive to walk in and see the pizza oven first. Very intriguing to watch the pizza being made. The pizzas AKA Flatbread are made with unique ingredient combinations. We had the Hawaiian with pulled pork and pineapple. Delicious!! Interesting spin on a hawaiian pizza. Pulled pork instead of ham! read more

I ordered two salads for take out from Rail Trail and had a great experience! I needed to make sure the order was non dairy and the website did allow for me to make those restrictions known. It was very nice of the restaurant to call me to explain the beet salad dressing did have dairy in it and they let me choose another non dairy dressing option. I thought that was extremely thoughtful of them to confirm with me. The salads were really big and had a great amount of veggies and all the toppings. They were delicious I have heard the flatbreads are amazing too. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and I can't wait to go back and get another salad and try a flatbread! read more

Really good pizza in Hudson center. The selection of pizzas is really good and they have a super beer selection also. Would have given them five stars but my wife ordered one wine, they came back it was out of stock. She took a different one then when she asked for a second one, they ran out of that one too. read more

The flatbread here is just so good! The Mexican street corn flatbread is a must try. The flavors in that flatbread were incredible. For those who are a big fan of lamb then I would recommend the lamb jam...but again only if you really like lamb. The drinks were also tasty and well presented. read more

Phenomenal food, slow surly service. Ingredients are top notch and although I've raised an eyebrow, all combinations have been outstandingly tasty! If the food wasn't of the quality it is there is no way I'd keep going back. Disclaimer - I've never dined at the restaurant, I've only done take out. So this is not review of table service Food is never done at the appointed time and staff are slow movers - even when it IS done they walk around, ignoring the bag. No one seems cheerful, they all appear downtrodden. Getting utensils and condiments (salt) takes hyper effort. We always tip a of minimum of 25% (more for smaller orders) but one of these days.... I only hope some of the tip money goes to the BACK of the house. They are the ones who deserve it. read more

My friend brought me to her fave place and she was so excited to share her joy with me. We did not have a reservation, but arrived on the early side (5pm on a Thursday.) This place was jammed by 6pm. Fun, casual atmosphere. Cocktail list was fun and the server was fantastic with suggestions. We shared the beet salad, which they graciously put on two plates for us. Delicious. We also shared the spanakopita pizza and it was more than plenty for two people. Staff was pleasant and patient with specials requests. Street parking is available, but we parked in a lot down the hill. New City Creamery is across the street for apres dinner treat! read more

Rail Trail has it all. The best flatbreads around in my opinion. Buffalo Chicken is my number one. This is my second time that I've been there. I previously ordered the Mexican Street corn flatbread which is another favorite of mine. The Hawaiian has slow braised pork that was addicting. The boneless tenders are the way to go for an app. Great scene-- would love to go back and explore the craft beer list more. Don't forget their sister spot across the street - New City Microcreamery for dessert. read more

Delicious flatbreads!!!! We got the fig and olive with prosciutto which was amazing! Great vegetarian option without the prosciutto. We also ordered the steak and cheese which was a little bland. For appetizers, we ordered the Brussels sprouts and bacon which had some unexpected mayo but still pretty good. The fried calamari was probably the best with its honey kick! The decorations and overall area is very friendly and relaxed! read more

This is one of the best places to hang out in Metro West area. Restaurant has friendly vibe. Covid proofing is very well done. They have lot of street parking in that area. This restaurant offers wide variety of beer menu and non alcoholic beverages. I tried Brewdog non alcoholic beer here which was fabulous. It is coffee based beer. It was a fun drink. This place offers amazing flatbread as in the name of the restaurant. I loved cheesy potato flatbread. This thin crust and wood fired flatbread is delicious. My second favorite is Mexican street corn flatbread. It has sweet corn and house made queso topping. It is super tasty. All in all it's an amazing place to have delightful evening. read more

Pizza was excellent, drinks were tasty, other stuff not so much. Sizing of drinks was unexpected; for the tiki drink, there was a drawing of a tall tiki glass, but it actually came in a short coupe. The key lime pie trifle was tasty and interesting, but the cream was over-whipped so it was greasy, and the deconstructed crust bits on top were somewhat dry. Could probably have used some cake or something to cut the grease, and a graham cracker deconstructed crust would definitely have been better. Kabob Curry was OK, especially with the pineapple in there, but there wasn't nearly enough curry sauce to coat the veggies and rice, much less the added falafel which I had to eat uncurried. I always appreciate places that non-alcoholic drinks, though I didn't try any, because I'm a bit underwhelmed by fruit juices and soda mixed together. What I really wanted was a milkshake. They have the ice cream from New City Microcreamery across the street, but not the milkshakes. read more

I never thought I'd have pizza with brussels sprouts, but I did and it was amazing. Get it! This place was seriously busy on a Wednesday night, so we were fortunate we were only a table of 2 and got seated within about 15 minutes. Larger tables were waiting 30-45mins or more- and I definitely wouldn't recommend bringing more than 4 people here. Our server was really nice and pleasant in an understated way. You know how you sometimes get those servers who are all like, "HI!!!! Welcome to our place!!! Is this your first time?! It *IS*?! You're going to LOVE it!!!!"- but then they end up being pretty good servers after all so you set aside the way-too-much-coffee energy in the name of a great experience. Well, our server was pretty calm and chill, which at first made me nervous that things might take a while, but she proved me wrong and was a stellar server, and made great recommendations on both food and beer. Bravo! As for food - we only got flatbread, and I had mine split between the one with corn & brussels sprouts and the one with strawberry & rhubarb. I much preferred the veggie side. The strawberry and rhubarb was also good, but very sweet. I'll definitely be making plans to come back here and try more flatbreads! read more
