Hudson Hil's Café

Visited the café during a day trip from the city per many friends’ recommendations for brunch. While we had to wait a little over an hour, it was worth the wait and we had time to do some shopping in the meantime. I tried the eggs with fig & prosciutto which were delicious. We ordered the babka French toast to share and really enjoyed it as well. I’d recommend it as a sharing dish since it’s very sweet.

Arrived in Cold Spring before my friends and decided to grab some breakfast before a hike. Stumbled upon Hudson Hills restaurant as they were open early around 9 AM. The brunch was amazing! My feta, spinach, and tomato omelet was one of the best I’ve had. I also enjoyed the coffee and home-fries. Will visit again!

*Great Food* *Service could have been better* *Cute Building however they've outgrown the tiny dining area* The food wasn't very hot/fresh but it was absolutely delicious & tasted like it was fresh, we came on a Sunday so what do you expect? They have a very popular following so a larger dining area makes more sense however they have a very old and tiny Building which is cute but they're losing lots of business because of it we almost said forget it however we waited almost 1.5hrs to be seated because we enjoy good safe food. The service was ok, could have been better however they were very busy so I wouldn't hold that against them.

Great spot for brunch! Delicious sandwiches and the curly fries, omg! Prices were a little steep but might be on par for Cold Spring. It was a great place to stop after a nice hike.

My family had finished a hike, and would always come to this place for lunch. The food always hits the spot after a long hike and is such a good place to eat at Cold Spring. The only downside I had this time was that the homemade chips were very burnt and didn’t taste very good. But the curly fries never disappoints and is so good. All of their sandwiches I had are delicious and so flavorful.

Tasty and well executed dishes in comfortable and casual setting. Friendly service. I got the egg white omelette with vegetables as well as the fish tacos. Both had great flavors. The wait on Sunday for lunch was about 20min, so we took a stroll around town, and it was relaxing. The use of text chat to inform us of the queue was nice.

This was a lovely little place to go. The service was a little slow, because they are (according to a sign on their door) a little understaffed at the moment. However, the food that arrived was delicious and the staff were very friendly. I’d recommend this place, and in particular the BLT sandwich. The prices here are also very reasonable.

We went on a Saturday and it was great! The service and food were very good. My family and I enjoyed the food a lot. I got the eggs with prosciutto, fig, arugula, green apple and home fries and it was so delicious and satisfying! The portion was also fairly generous. We also shared a tall stack of the gluten free pancakes which I was impressed with - they were very fluffy and similar to non gf pancakes! I had a buttered spiced cider rum which was very tasty. We were very pleasantly surprised by Hudson Hil’s Café, worth a visit if in the area!

Love the food here. Casual dining Farm to table eclectic menu Never disappoints But these days wait can be long especially on the weekends Worth the wait but if you're impatient Make a reservation first

What a great little find!! There was a half hour wait on a holiday weekend, but it was worth shopping a little until they texted us for the table. I had the daily soup, tomato basil, which was thick, tasty, and soupy. I had a turkey BLT on toasted rye and a Breakfast Stout to wash it all down. The helping of turkey and bacon was generous. Service was very friendly. I loved the pictures of all the pets on the walls. Everyone was very happy with their meal. I'd definitely go back. Remember to tip well.

Stopped in for brunch after a hike and thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered! The babka French toast was something unique and so delicious, especially with the fresh fruit. The house made potato chips are the perfect compliment to any sandwich, and the service was equally as good. Sit inside rather than on the porch if you want to avoid swarms of bees attacking you while you try to eat.

First, I'm usually a generous reviewer. I get that places are busy and understaffed. Also, I'm a generous tipper. I usually tip 30-33% but this is the first time in a long time that I've tipped my bare minimum of 20%. This little spot is tucked away in the village of Cold Spring. I stopped here on my way back from a hike in Hudson Highland State Park. It took over 10 minutes for me to be acknowledged after seating. I got a small glass of water, which I quickly drank. That remain empty almost until the very end. Then another 20 before I got the requested (terrible) margarita. Then I sipped my pretty awful margarita, with my empty water glass. I eventually got my selected dish, the salmon BLT. Not sure if salmon was meant to be warm or cold, but the whole dish was cold, like it had set at the kitchen window for a while. I ordered fries and somehow got charged extra? I don't get that, but that's the least of my issues. Many of the tables around me appeared to be grappling with the same issues. Needing more syrup, but not getting it. Needing the check, but not getting it. Whomever sat at table four this afternoon had a customer service complaint, and the staff discussed it loudly enough I could hear. This is a breakfast/egg/brunch/lunch cafe kinda place with mediocre cocktails. I can do mediocre food. But mediocre food and bad service? The website is coasting on 2017 reviews. Should have been an idea. I don't say this often, but hard pass.

Great little town chic diner. One of the best breakfast burritos I've had. Chilli with beef stew chunks as the meat is an accompaniment... works so well. Fish tacos are filled with fresh ingredients with a fragrant rice. Fragrant rices aren't my fave but with the fresh black beans, it was pretty good. Tenders were great with a mild batter that spared me the usual heartburn that rich batters usually give me. Well done although the chips are the star for me.

I want to give them zero stars. The attitude the hostess has can get you into deepest depression. So wrong in so many levels. They really need to better their service. Just sad.

Fantastic meal. Did the burger on the English muffin. Was cooked perfectly. Shared some curly fries with friends. No complaints. If you're in Cold Spring this is a great place to stop at for lunch. Also my friends got the Cobb Salad and they said it was great too.

First time visit and the food was delicious. My boyfriend and I came for a visit and my food came out great. I had the almond chicken salad sandwich and he had the breaded steak and eggs. Such a cute little cafe, looks like a house on the inside. The waitresses were very nice, they forgot to give us utensils but it's alright it was pretty busy so it was understandable. We were seated really quickly, it was pretty fast pace. Food came out pretty quick too, didn't have to wait that long.

We had an incredible brunch at Hudson Hil's! I met my family halfway on a Sunday for brunch to explore the cute town. We tried to join the waitlist on Yelp beforehand but the restaurant shut down the wait list due to the volume of customers, so we had to put our name in at the door. We waited about 30 minutes which went quickly as we window shopped downtown. Once seated service was incredible and the food was even better. It was a homey, cozy spot and we are planning a trip back just to come back to visit again!

This place looked so cute and the reviews seemed good. My mom had been a few years ago and said it was ok so I was excited to try. First, the wait was extremely long- it seems like this town is really popular on the weekend with lots of people taking the train in from NYC. I don't mind waiting and there were shops to browse in while we waited to get a text that our table was ready. When we got it and returned to the restaurant (within a few minutes), the host stared at us, asked the other host, and they both just looked at each other and said nothing. Then, they both went inside without saying a word to us about what was wrong. It seems they gave our table to someone else though I'm not totally sure. At any rate, we had to wait an additional 15 minutes to the 40-45 we'd already been waiting. Then, they took an outside table, brought it in and put it near the main door and the doorway connecting to the other room. So, it was freezing with the door constantly opening plus people kept going by and bumping into us going to the other room. While eating, some people outside had 3 dogs that were eating off their table/sit ting in the tabletop. And this was the type of table they'd brought in for us to eat on. Then, the most important part- the food. My Eggs Benedict were cold. Not warm or slightly cool. The Hollandaise was not well mixed, some parts were very salty and other bites very bland. The side of greens didn't state on the menu it was topped with tomato and carrot (like a side salad) and I have a tomato allergy so that needed to be remade. That could be overlooked if the rest of the experience was positive. My mom's eggs were warm but her food was average at best. Breakfast was expensive - over $50 for 2 people getting basic egg dishes and coffee/tea. The experience was not relaxing, our server didn't check on us, our seats were added in to such an awkward spot, and the food was not good. this place seems like it's become a tourist trap that relies on looking cute over having quality food with great service. I'd recommend going anywhere else in town.

It was a nice place. The pancakes are really good, and the maple syrup is awesome! The braised beef hash was good, the meat just had a little overpowering seasoning on it, but the potatoes and eggs were great. Also got the biscuit side, very well made. They were very busy, but nothing was too long of a wait.

This place is handling covid really well. We came here for brunch on a Sunday and it was really busy. But I think that's the state of affairs every Sunday. So we put our name down for about an hour after we got there and went for a Riverwalk which I highly recommend and then came back. The space that they have right now for Covid has maybe four tables in the dining room two tables in the back and three tables out front. That might change of course given that winter is on its way. We were seated almost immediately and the stuff is really good with getting a order in and getting the food to the table very quickly. I tried the Cajun breakfast - they use pork andouille sausage, that's my ideal type of sausage. The food was well prepared and delicious. I also tried the hot toddy which was excellently made, I highly recommend it. My friend had the burger which she said was outstanding and the curly fries where crispy and really Well seasoned. I highly recommend them. unfortunately I didn't like the pies very much I thought they were just sort of average. We tried the blueberry pie and the pecan pie Service was very quick very efficient however I do think that they tried to rush us a little bit because they needed the table back. Completely understandable but giving us a heads up or letting us know what our window of time was would've been helpful. Still I would come back here if I'm ever in the area.

I love restaurants like this. Quaint, small town, USA vibes, in a little house with a porch, amazingly friendly service, and some delicious food. They only take reservations for parties of 5+ so be prepared to wait. Two people on a Saturday at around 1:45pm had a half hour wait. WORTH IT. I had the breakfast burrito and it was fantastic. I also tried the fried chicken sandwich which was excellent. Pro tip, ask to try their jams. They're made in-house and they're amazing. Too bad they don't sell them otherwise I would've bought to bring home. For dessert I had some key lime pie which was also very good. Great spot, will be back.

After a fairly intense hike at Breakneck Ridge, my friend and I stopped here for lunch this past Saturday. I've been here a handful of times before, initially at the recommendation of a chum who grew up in nearby Garrison, and it's always very good. This time, it was great. I warned my friend that this place often has a wait, especially given that we stopped by at 1PM, dictionary definition lunch time, and that we should prepare ourselves for a 20- to 30-minute delay. Nope - we were seated within three minutes inside. For what it's worth based on past experience, the porch seating outside is excellent as well - it has a very nice, rustic B&B vibe with great viewpoints of the main thoroughfare that lend to some excellent people watching. It was about 90 degrees at the time so it might not have been SUPER comfortable if we had been seated there, but we would have done so without complaint. I was famished after climbing a mountain, and ordered the Biscuits & Gravy ($17.95), which came with eggs and country potatoes. Delicious. There may be a SLIGHT bias here since I think food always tastes better after you've climbed a mountain and earned the subsequent calories, but why shouldn't this place benefit from that timing? The gravy was perfectly thick with what looked to be bits of Canadian bacon, the scrambled eggs were moist without being watery and the potatoes were seasoned perfectly. I demolished it, but don't think that means the portion was meager - it was a very generous serving. Suffice to say though that I didn't eat again until the next morning. My chum got the country-fried steak and eggs and also enjoyed her dish. Despite climbing the same mountain, she actually did have leftovers to bring home for later. I've had mild issues with the service here before, but this was an absolute pleasure; a well-oiled machine. Our waitress was super efficient and friendly. Our food came out within 10 minutes, and I noticed the same was true for nearby tables. Every time she came through our area, you could see her quickly appraise each table for potential issues and check in where necessary, with no wasted movement. We both got glasses of tap water, drained them immediately, and without any conversation about it, she just brought a water bottle over to our table. Intangibles. Along those same lines, the busboy was attentive and proactive in clearing off our table (arguably a little overeager but negated that by politely asking if he could take dishes off before doing so). I was initially pleasantly surprised by the lack of a wait, but with that kind of service, the tables are going to turn over pretty quickly. Restaurant/hospitality 101. The only negative that occurred during this experience wasn't even Hudson Hil's fault - during the three minutes we waited outside for a table, we saw a dog wearing crocs and couldn't get a decent picture of them. That one is going to sting for a while. You don't always have great eating options after a hike, much less a mountainous one. This is an absolute gem that's less than five minutes from the Breakneck Ridge trailhead - take advantage of it.

Cute little cafe in town with a nice patio area to eat at when there is good weather out. The reason this restaurant got a 5 stars from me is because of how fresh all of the food tasted. Starting off with the power green salad, all the veggies in the dish tasted fresh and the mint and fresh dill in the salad gave it a light, refreshing taste. The burger was also very good and had a higher quality taste (probably given the beef is from a grass-fed cow in the Hudson River Valley). The chips that came with the burger also tasted homemade. Last but not least, the blueberry tart was elevated from the standard I have ate before. The custard had some orange in it which also gave the blueberry tart a nice, citrus twist that made it taste very refreshing on the summer day we ate at the cafe. I will definitely be back next time I am in town.

Decided to drop by after a long hike at Breakneck Ridge. This place is a nice brunch spot with your choice of indoor or outdoor dining. I arrived at around 2:30 with a party of four, put my name down, and luckily the wait wasn't too bad. The staff were all wearing masks and seemed friendly. We were seated and given three cups of water for a party of four. One of the cups were dirty and it took a while for someone to get us a fourth cup but once we asked a second time, it was brought out quickly. We ordered an Eggs Benedict, Cajun Chicken sandwich, Shirred Eggs, and Salmon BLT. Everything was really good and the bread on the sandwiches were soft and toasted to perfection. I believe they also make the chips that came with the sandwiches themselves, so addicting!

We've been visiting for a few years. It's typically consistent and the menu has great items. It's on the pricey side and can get extremely busy and difficult to get a table especially on busy mornings. Go on a week day if you'd like to sit outside to avoid the crowds. I usually order the shirred eggs but have changed it up a bit because my eggs are often over cooked. The lemon ricotta pancakes are excellent. Service is very good.

Came here post-hike. Food was great, coffee was decent, cute place to rest your legs. Would come again. Food (5/5) - Got the Eggs Creole and also Eggs with Fig and Proscuitto. Bread was great - soft, but pretty robust crust; cornbread base really did it, sopped up all the taste very well. Eggs walked a good line between runny and overdone. The table next to ours got exactly the same thing, our plates must've looked good. Service (5/5) - Prompt, not too overbearing, very friendly staff. The place was very busy that day so everyone was frazzled, but we didn't feel neglected or rushed at all. Price (5/5) - What you'd expect for a decent brunch. NYC prices but a good sized portion and the menu was definitely inspired. Ambiance (5/5) - Cute, bathrooms were clean even though it was very high traffic. Pastries in their glass box looked bomb. Tables weren't too packed either despite the popularity of the place.

Order: Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, Eggs Creole Came to Cold Spring for a day trip from NYC. This place is on Main St. and seems quite popular. If you're going on a weekend around lunchtime, make sure you join the waitlist on Yelp ~20 min before you want to be there or you may have to wait a while. The service and vibe was good given that they were quite busy. They also sell cake/cheesecake/tart slices in the back corner. Eggs Creole: The poached eggs and hollandaise went really well with the cornbread. Overall all the ingredients together complemented each other well. The shrimp was tasty and well cooked. Would get again. 9/10 Lemon Ricotta Pancakes: I ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes bc it was listed as a popular item on Yelp. Each pancake is quite large. It mostly just tasted like pancakes with a lemony flavor and cooked berries inside (not something I personally like but could be something someone likes). Didn't taste any ricotta. If I came here again I'd pass on this one. 4/10 Price is decent, split three dishes three ways and ended up paying ~$21 for the meal incl tax and tip.

It's easy to see why this place is busy and doesn't take reservations. Right on the heart of main street this place is cute, has a great menu, superb food, and excellent service. The salmon BLT was amazing. The fish tacos were good although not quite up there with the salmon. Two great cocktails rounded out our brunch. Perhaps a little pricey but I'd definitely go back. I don't think you'll get a better breakfast or lunch in Cold Spring.

Went for a late lunch as we were driving to Rhinebeck for the weekend. Great menu with lots of breakfast and lunch dishes available after 2:00. I ordered the clam chowder, which was a special of the day. Unfortunately it had bacon in it, which I don't eat. The waitress didn't mention that, which would have been helpful. I had the Southwest Salad with shrimp and avocado. It was very fresh and delicious. I also ordered a biscuit, which was not overly dense and the perfect size. My friend chose the eggs with fig and prosciutto. She said it was very filling and excellent. A very relaxing and enjoyable meal.

We come visit the town of Cold Spring 1-2x a year for three reasons: the wonderful hiking trails and natural scenery, the variety of antique shops, and this restaurant. I imagine most people who visit Cold Spring also prioritize coming to this café. The building of the café is the first floor of a house, so already there's a homey feeling when coming in: screen door, two dining areas, one with a dessert display. The food is uniformly excellent. I haven't had a bad meal here once. Last time I had their breakfast burrito and it was terrific. They do brunch food, so it's a lot of sandwiches, omelettes, etc. They have gluten-free bread for sandwiches too. Wait times can be long for weekend brunch, so get here early. Even approaching closing hours, there can be a wait. It's hard to miss.

Favorite go to spot after a hike. Amazing food and huge sandwiches. We love to go to this spot whenever we come here for a hike and grab lunch afterwards. Food was so good, and the fries were amazing too. Only complain was that the potato chip that comes with the sandwiches were too salty and had a really burnt flavor. But overall very good. Would recommend the peach iced tea too.

Absolutely love this local gem! We went on Sunday morning for brunch and it was a 35 minute wait but there really isn't a lot of options to sit down to eat on Main St. so we waited, and we were very happy that we did. The food was amazing! I got the breakfast dish with the fig, my friend got the fig sandwich and my husband got the burrito.. everything was delicious. They were extremely accommodating with our stroller as well. We will definitely be going back to try more of the menu.

4.5 stars!! I came here after kayaking nearby in the summer and this was a great find! I got the eggs creole which was grilled cornbread topped with andouille sausage, poached eggs with creole hollandaise and shrimp. It came with home fries. It was delicious!! The potatoes could have used some more seasoning but the cornbread and everything else was so good. We got the food to go and sat outside on a bench since the wait was extremely long. But it was a long wait for good reason!

It's not what it used to be. I'm quite sorry to share this. I met a friend here today. I've been doing it for decades. The coffee was undrinkable. Eggs over cooked; potatoes too salty. Staff were helpful, but not presentable in uniform clothing. The attention to detail is gone. It used to be special to sit there and enjoy quality food and coffee. I'm afraid I won't choose this place again for a while.

To sum up this place: NYC prices, average food. The food was just okay. When visiting the area again I'll check out another spot before coming back here. It was pricy. Our total bill was $78 and we got a burger (pictured) shrimp salad (pictures behind pancakes), coffee, cappuccino and a short stack of pancakes. Give it a try if you want but in my experience it was just okay. The nicest part was being able to put my name down so we can receive a cal/text when our table is ready.

Delicious food and great ambience in Cold Spring, NY. Service was awesome. We swing by for brunch when we are in town.

My friends and I were looking for lunch after our hike, and put our names down here. It was an estimated wait of 30 minutes for a table of 4 on a sunday around 2, which wasn't too bad. We kept track of our place on line on the yelp app which was cool! i kept scrolling up to refresh bc i was hUNGRY The interior is bright and spacious (they also have outdoor seating on the patio). There are photographed headshots of dogs on the walls which was quiRkY. Ordered a cold lemonade which was more tart than sweet, and the 2 fish tacos, which was composed of fried catfish with slaw on doubled corn tortillas. The side of rice with beans tasted ok, didnt finish it. Overall, the dish satiated my hunger but wouldn't necessarily order it again. Although it wasn't on the menu, the waitress took our order for loaded fries which I saw on the yelp photos section- basically curly fries with melted cheese and bacon and sour cream. SO GOOD!!!!! My friends got the cajun sandwich, breakfast burrito, and bagel w lox and they seemed satisfied. Friendly staff who didn't rush us and constantly refilled out water, clean bathrooms, and chill vibes all around. Would recommend to anyone in the area!

Service is great. Pet friendly, food is mediocre but the environment is great. Good for date nights, outing with family or friends.

Review during Covid! I confirm everything I said in 2018 about this place (that's why I went back), but there's more. I felt completely safe and comfortable during my meal. The tables are nicely spaced and there's plenty of room between them. My friends and I had lunch on the front porch on a Sunday. We all had the Fig and Prosciutto Eggs, plus grapefruit juice, mimosa, and a cocktail with strawberries and eldelflower. The staff is super nice and attentive, they wear masks all the time, and the service is on the spot. Everything is clean and they sanitize tables between customers. Bathroom is tiny but very clean! This is my to-go brunch spot in Cold Spring. From 2018: Amazing brunch spot! Came here after hiking and was so impressed. Service is fast and staff is nice and friendly. The food is incredible. I had the Fig and Prosciutto Eggs and it's such a good combo.

Excellent restaurant with an expansive menu of fresh and tasty ingredients. I usually go for breakfast but had lunch there today. I had salmon salad and my friend had the brussel sprouts salad. Both were very good. Take advantage of the waitlist when it's available. That's a great feature to request a table. Enjoy!

We came in for a late lunch on a Saturday. We were told it's going to be a 30-45 min wait and had to put our names on the wait list and decided to walk around in the meantime. There are a lot of shops down the street so we didn't mind. They texted us 20 mins later saying our table was ready. We walked back and were seated inside. I ordered a cappuccino and not sure if I just got the wrong drink brought to me or if that was how cappuccino was made at this restaurant, but I got a drink that was mostly bitter coffee with a little bit of foam on the top that cost me $5. I was too shy to say anything so just drank half of my drink and left the rest. Then my friend and I ordered grilled shrimp salads and have gotten both orders without tortilla chips that came with the salad. By the time we waved down the waitress to ask for chips, I ate more than half of my salad because I was starving. Once we put the tortilla chips on the salad it was actually delicious! I also got curly fries which were good at first because like mentioned before, we were starving but were actually a little too salty, but that's my own personal preference. It was extremely busy, so I can understand why the waitress could not check up on us often. The ketchup bottle on the table was also empty but since we barely seen the waitress, I didn't want to wave her down for that. Cute place overall, nice vibes. My other friend got a sandwich with salmon which she absolutely loved. Not a terrible experience, but if I'm being completely honest, just okay!

Cold Spring, NY was a cool resting point while heading up to Woodstock, NY. The area has several spots for Brunch lovers- so decided to stay at Hil's. You can see how popular this place is- because even for a regular, non-Holiday Sunday morning, this place was packed with a 30 minute wait. Hil's takes up the corner of Kemble Ave. with a few cozy sidewalk tables and lots of porch seating on Main St. With a selection of Omelettes, Benedicts, a Quiche- the menu also takes on some sweet options with Pancakes, French Toast- even savory items. We honestly have no clue what Hil's looks like on the inside because we sat out. But even a looksie inside, Hil's comes across with a country home getup. For a filling side to (almost) any breakfast, order the French Toast that's super big. Hubs wanted a breakfast that would stick to his ribs and decided on the French Toast which he liked a lot. The thing looked like a meal in itself. And as much as I wanted to order the Chocolate Babka French Toast, I passed up the traditional egg dipped method for a Quinoa-Black Bean Veggie Burger instead- which was a bit on the smaller side but it packed a punch. This is a nice place for both early and late risers- or just driving by like we did to enjoy Breakfast, Brunch or Lunch. Plus Hil's offers big plates with small bills.

The person at the front was extremely rude. She shouted at my wife for entering the restaurant when it was raining outside and she was absent from the front desk for over 10 mins. We have always found restaurants and business staff in cold spring extremely friendly but Hudson Hills is an exception.

Great spot! BEST pesto chicken sandwich I have ever had! Also, their drinks are delicious. Highly recommend!

Fantastic biscuits and gravy, biscuits were light and fluffy with a touch of honey glaze. Quaint eating environment but gets busy on the weekends from city traffic

Food is excellent! Sorry no pictures this time because we ate our breakfast before we thought of taking pictures. I had the quiche with fresh fruit, and greens the quiche had a mix of poblano peppers, cheddar, onions. Also my husband had an omelet with cheddar cheese, tomato spinach. Coffee is rich with a nice roasted flavor. Superb! Oh baby the way all pastries are all made on site. And all local foods The service is excellent. I find that no matter how busy this place is , and it gets incredibly busy. The staff is kind funny, Professional. They never forget a thing just pleasant! The ambiance is perfect breakfast cafe, bright, cozy, with photos of animals like puppies kittens, fish. Our favorite place!

I've travelled out to cold springs a handful of times and each time I usually have kids with me so I've never gotten the opportunity to come in here mainly bc their hours are early and kids always seem to just want a slice of pizza or chkn and fries. But today was my chance to go on my own since I had to day off to myself (yay) The food was so good I can't even. Like delicious. I ordered the Hudson shirred eggs and it was so good. They baked their eggs on top of swisschard and mushrooms with Fontaine cheese! So good!! Coffee wasn't bad, not he best but not bad. The service was so warm and inviting they let me hang out a little while longer than I'd usually stay and I had no pressure to leave ( I was I for just under an hour - for me that's just so freaking long to sit in one place - I guess that's the New York kicking in) Anyways hands down go here! I hope in the summer it's a cool place to chill maybe they'll also add smoothies to the list ? Who knows!

Long lines but one of the best breakfast and lunch places in the region, if not THE best. Always great. For example, their poached salmon BLT is simply divine. The salmon is cooked to perfection. Rarely have I had such a perfect sandwich. Their breakfast burrito and hash & eggs are equally perfect. Worth the wait times.

The amBiance is nice, the eggs were mostly good bit lukewarm, however the home potatoes were cold like they had been sitting in a refrigerator instead of a fryer. They need to ensure they are serving food and keeping them under heat lamps at a proper temperature otherwise it is a safety hazard.

Super delish food! Sometimes it would take some times to catch the attention of a waitress but no biggie. Would definitely come back!

Fantastic food and great seating on the porch. I had a salad and it was DELICIOUS! The four stars are because the server wasn't friendly. Five stars for the food and the porch seating!

I was shocked to see that Hudson Hil's had indoor as well as outdoor dining! The restaurant is pretty small, but the tables do seem to be placed appropriately apart. Their breakfast menu is on the smaller side, but there are some atypical dishes. My boyfriend and I shared the Gravlax and the Biscuits with Gravy. Gravlax: I was expecting the salmon to be the star of this sandwich, but sadly, it was overpowered by the red onion and cream cheese. My first reaction upon biting into it was that it tasted surprisingly like a whopper, since the lettuce, sesame seeds, tomato, and onion dominated. Gravlax is a lighter cured salmon with salmon that is cured using salt, sugar, and dill. It would probably have been better enjoyed with just one half of the bagel. Biscuits and Gravy: buttery biscuit and rich gravy! Definitely sates any craving for a savory, fulfilling breakfast. Comes with 2 eggs, any style you want. Overall, this seems like a great place to enjoy brunch. The only complaint I have is that we ordered takeout and they forgot to place utensils or napkins into the bag.

Zero stars. After waiting over an hour to be seated we left, the hostess was extremely rude.

Have been here a few times and it never disappoints. There always seems to be a wait on the weekends but it moves pretty fast. They text you when your table is ready so feel free to browse the shops in the area. The atmosphere is petit, weekend country. The service is good and the food is always fresh. I like that they serve all day breakfast. I ordered eggs with fig and prosciutto. It was a perfect combination of a fig, apple, prosciutto, leek hash on multi-grain bread with arugula and eggs on top. Delicious! My friends had the shaved brussel sprout salads and they looked really good too. Also, highly recommend the fig grilled cheese. Perfect weekend brunch spot!

Hudson Hill's previously have had lemon ricotta pancakes. This is now off the menu and strawberry or blueberry pancakes added. The blueberry pancakes were thick, doughy and very few blueberries. They give you sugar water instead of legitimate maple syrup. If you want maple syrup there is an uncharge. I no longer consider Hudson Hills as an upscale restaurant for breakfast. As I live locally, I am not a one visit person. That will now change.

Hudson Hil's is a staple of Cold Spring, and a blooming tradition for my family to gather around the holidays. The wait always seems to be significant on the weekends, so it is worth it to get a reservation ahead of time for this destination for locals and train hopping hipsters alike. As soon as you step in, you will notice the creaking floors of this old house that seem to be talking to you about the great food you're about to enjoy. "Hey there buddy, you goin' for breakfast or lunch today (said in a NY accent)," one wooden plank mentioned as I stepped with my left foot. "Welcome back Nate," the 2x4 on the right greeted as I stepped on it's mouth. I rolled up with 8 people and a voracious appetite. The menu was high-caliber as always, offering a multitude of options for both breakfast and lunch. At noon on a Saturday, this is the most difficult decision you may face all day, so it's good to know that you're in good hands either way. I ordered the Eggs Creole so I could really test this chef's chops; this creation sounded outrageous but right up my alley - the perfect brunch idea. I waited patiently and became thoroughly zooted from some solid coffee while I chatted with some wonderful company. The cajun concoction landed in front of me just in time before I ate the table cloth. This meal was nothing to play around with - jacked up Eggs Benedict complete with cornbread, sausage and shrimp. All of the sudden I was speaking with a Southern drawl, you know the kind, like you have molasses just spilling right out of your lip. A tip of the hat to you, Hil. I would be back much more if I didn't live in Texas.

Overpriced and not worth it. Literally my friend and I paid $31 for a salad (each), with a skimpy portion of salmon and just lettuce. Still starving afterwards. Prices are worth than NYC.
