Shelby Griesinger Hudson House is a perfect 10 out of 10 every single time. I have been multiple times and it is consistently excellent across the board. The space is adorable and polished without feeling stuffy, the service is always great, and the overall crowd is pleasant, which honestly makes a big difference.
The stone fruit martini is a must order and the shrimp cocktail is one of the best around. The shrimp are huge, incredibly fresh, and clearly high quality. The spicy popcorn chicken is also outstanding and hard not to order every time. I have tried everything from the steak, popcorn chicken salad, red fish, to the chicken parm, and every dish has been fantastic.
Desserts are excellent, the menu is tight and well executed, and nothing feels like an afterthought. Hudson House somehow manages to be fun, reliable, and genuinely great every time, which is harder to pull off than it sounds. An easy repeat and one of my go to spots without hesitation.
