Hudson House

Hudson House never disappoints! It’s a great spot for classic American food with a slightly upscale vibe. Amazing, delicious oysters. We had the burger, eggs Benedict, and the French toast—which was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft, melt-in-your-mouth on the inside. And the fries? Iconic. Seriously some of the best around. Great service, cozy atmosphere.

The seafood bouquet at Hudson House is so delicious. It has 18 oysters and several huge shrimp. Every time we go, I get a martini and the oysters. People rave about their burger, so I’m trying that next. I’d go to this restaurant every week if I could. 😋

Sitting here while submitting this review. I was somewhat disappointed in this place. Pros: It has a happy hour, but only a couple things are on it at a cheaper rate. The burger was good. Service was good. Cons: Terrible bellinis. Awful. I didn't drink mine. Horribly crowded for happy hour. Too crowded for comfort. The shrimp cocktail was decent, but the shrimp were super tough. Hard to bite, and they are skimpy on their cocktail sauce. They give you about .5 ounces. I had to ask for extra, twice. (as you can see) The pickle you get is SMOTHERED with old bay and terrible. No one ate the pickle that comes with the burger. Literally, everyone leaves them on the plates. I requested a normal pickle without it to eat. I'd come back and try some other things just to see if it's any better, but I have no idea why this place is so popular. It's sub par for seafood and food amount. Pics look nice, but the quality wasn't worth the expense. Portions are small for the pricepoint. 1 burger (no side) and 4 shrimp with one short (nasty) cocktail was $41.14 before tip. (Burger and bellini was on happy hour)

always love going here! great drinks, especially the lemon drop and stone fruit - burger is always killer. the mac n cheese side is insanely delicious. great date night, girls night, whatever excuse to go! Leidy has been my waitress several times and she is always friendly and super attentive.

The food was ok. The mac And cheese stole the show. The noodles are too big and don't compliment the cheese blend. There's more cheese than noodle but the flavor was superb. Best mac and cheese I've ever had at a restaurant

Walked in and sat at the bar on a Sunday, an hour before closing. Within a few mins I had a perfect Martini, and within 15 I had my food. The French Chicken was amazing, it lived up to the hype! Quinn’s hospitality was top notch, he did a phenomenal job. I will definitely be back.

Hudson House in Irving is next-level amazing — one of those rare spots that gets everything right, every single time. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with coastal charm, an upscale yet welcoming vibe, and a team that makes you feel like a regular, even on your first visit. The food? Unreal. Their oysters are always fresh and beautifully presented, and the cheeseburger… don’t even get me started. It’s easily one of the best I’ve ever had — juicy, flavorful, and just the right amount of indulgent. Every dish I’ve tried has been absolutely delicious, from the crispy French fries to the perfectly cooked fish. The cocktails are equally impressive — balanced, creative, and crafted with care. Whether you’re in the mood for something classic or a bit more fun, they deliver every time. I love coming here for a cozy dinner, a celebratory brunch, or even just a midweek reset with a glass of wine and good company. It’s got that rare mix of elegance and comfort that makes it feel special without being over-the-top. Hudson House is truly a standout, and Irving is lucky to have it!

Hands down my favorite spot in Dallas! The oyster selection here is incredible—so fresh, with a wide variety to choose from. Their happy hour is top-tier, especially if you’re a fan of oysters and martinis. Speaking of martinis, I have to shout out their Bleu & Gold—it’s easily the best dirty martini I’ve ever had. Even my friends who usually steer clear of dirty martinis or blue cheese were blown away by it. The service is always on point, and it’s the perfect place for catching up with friends over drinks and great food. If you’re in Dallas and love oysters or just a solid happy hour vibe, this place is a must.

I spent time with family and friends in Dallas and decided to check out The Hudson since it was conveniently located near my hotel. I'm thrilled I found this gem because the food was outstanding. My waitress was warm and inviting, offering excellent menu recommendations. I chose the Hudson Salad, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. It was undoubtedly one of the best salads I've ever tasted. The interior of the restaurant is charming, exuding a blend of elevated diner vibes and modern elegance. When I return to the Dallas area, I will certainly make a point to visit again for that salad.

Awesome Happy Hour!! Gets a lil crowded but if you wait a bit you can find seating! Service was sweet and friendly and the Happy Hour menu had great options! The cheeseburger is a MUST! Add some truffle fries and you're looking at a great meal!

Came with a small group and sat in a 'private' area. We shared this area with another large group which was rather loud...to the point that we. Hold both even have a conversation without shouting. That soured the mood. Service was slower than expected with drinks taking over 10 minutes for a glass of wine or a beer. Server was alone and tried valiantly but she could not cope Food was ok. Nothing special about the salads. Normal standard fare for a lower end restaurant Salmon was cooked about right. Fries were good.

Really great burger and I enjoyed the decor and the ambiance instead the place. My friend liked her lobster roll, too! Our server was very attentive as well.

The French chicken and the Greek salad are the best of the best. Highly recommend. Drinks are good as well.

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.

Ladies listen up!!! Hudson House is the best restaurant in DFW for your ladies night! Leave your mans and kids at home. Text your girls and tell them to meet you here! Order a few bottles of wine and enjoy your night because you will be taken care of girls ok! Now there's something a little for everyone even for the girlies that just eat lettuce and apples to survive. For me you have to get the fries ughhh that fries seasoning has me in a chokehold! Thank me later ladies muah

Visited with a group of ladies and the food was delectable. I've had them before, but I try to choose a new entree everytime. However I have to always order the dynamite shrimp as an appetizer and the lobster Mac & cheese in the side. There's a Hudson house in forth worth, but that location doesn't appear to have dynamite shrimp on the menu. Their brunch items also melt in your mouth. This place will always be a great choice.

Easy parking - reservations made with friends for lunch from out of town. Appetizers enjoyed - shrimp and truffle fries - yes, you could taste the truffle when so many times you cannot. Plenty to share on the appetizers. Entrees were redfish and all were cooked perfect - served hot and quickly. One friend got a burger and enjoyed it - thick juicy - hot and cooked to order. Service was nice and quick; kept tea glasses filled - very busy at lunch. It is on the higher end of lunch but good seafood at this location we found. Will return soon.

Busy, fantastic service, indoor and outdoor seating with a bar. Went at happy hour for oysters and martini! Super tasty and fresh. The place is comfortable and all about the fresh food.

Derrick the waiter was attentive and had not a problem getting us the brunch menu although it was going to end in five minutes. What a great decision we made. The French toast was delicious crunchy ends and moist on the inside, fresh berries. The bacon quality was not that great and it was not crispy. The vibe of the place is welcoming. I can tell the restrooms are attended to. Overall a good experience!

One of my go-tos in the area. The food and service has been consistently amazing each time I went. The burger is top notch and the French chicken is full of delicious herbs and flavors 10/10. I would also recommend the tuna taco, and Mac n cheese. All their martinis are great, perfect place for after work happy hour or weekend lunch! The restaurant has a light and airy feel with beautiful diner style booths.

I feel like I've just been writing a lot of back to back 5 star reviews, but the Hudson House would be 10/5 if I could. I'm not going to lie, the Las Colinas location is probably the best one. Nothing is under seasoned and everything is intentional. It's beautiful and it tastes good. The martinis are stellar and when anyone suggests to come here, I'm the first one to arrive. Always try to make a reservation otherwise you might have to wait!

Always excellent service and a lovey selection of oysters! Menu standards are good as well / that burger is simple but oh so good. Ditto on the steak frites and the lobster roll

Came here for happy hour yesterday and had a blast! The bar looks very classy and the ambiance is great with music. The service was also good and food and drinks came out pretty fast. The espresso martini was my favorite of the martinis as I was so happy they made it with Bailey's and Kahlua. My family enjoyed the bleu & gold and lemondrop martinis too. We tried four different oysters, all were great with the sauces and seemed fresh. The shrimp dynamite and popcorn chicken were both good, but I wish the popcorn chicken had a little more spice since we requested it spicy. We liked the cheeseburger too.

The soundtrack of this restaurant is martinis shaking every 30 seconds it seems, and I am here for it!!! HH martinis ($7!) and a happy hour double burger for $10 at the bar area only 3-6pm weeknights. We snagged the last hightop in the bar at 4pm on a Friday to try this HH. Our waitress Steph was very efficient on a busy Friday night. They have a list of HH martinis you can choose from and all wine is $3 off a glass. You can even get a Blue Cheese stuffed olive martini (my FAV) - though the blue cheese could have been of better quality and more pungent for my taste. Served nice and cold with with icy crystals on top, with a pretty toothpick. Of course we ordered the HH cheeseburger (SOO cheesy) to split and the table next to us said we absolutely had to get the truffle fries ("okay!"). The burger comes with a Large 1/2 pickle with maybe BBQ seasoning on it - not my jam, but I'm certain some people love it. The burger was nearly perfection, my improvement would have been for the sesame seed bun to have been warmed (or at least room temp) - it seemed to be slightly refrigerated and cold. But the burger was massive and good quality burger meat (slightly greasy in a good way), 2 thin patties with maybe 3 slices of good quality extra-melty American cheese. I am bargaining with Hubbs to come here 1x per month. The very thin truffle fries were also very good (served in a cone), the parm cheese is in small pebbles throughout provided extra umami. But of course they get ya, 1 cheeseburger and fries ($11) to split - then the drinks, we left spending $70 (we had 2 drinks each)

TOTALLY INFURIATING EXPERIENCE! We will not be returning and absolutely CANNOT RECOMMEND ANY Hudson House, especially for groups. We came to have brunch with a group of 8 on a friends recommendation. The food was ok but overpriced for the servings. We asked to split the bill but the manager refused because it took too much time, even though it was 11a on a Sunday and the place was maybe 10% full. Then as each member in our party was trying to find sufficient cash to pay the bill, we were told by the manager that the Hudson House policy is No Cash. We finally computed each cash contribution and pulled together enough cash to reimburse one person to pay with their credit card. It took us, as a group, more time to complain to the manager and compute each persons portion and pay than it would to have a computer split the checks. To add to the insult, we were charged 20% gratuity.

2nd visit to Hudson House. Enjoyed it just as much as the first time! This particular evening was a busy Thursday night. Service was fast considering a full house. Our food was amazing!

I've been to both the Lovers and Addison locations but a December catch up with a sweet college friend was my first time at the Las Colinas location. The standard of service was on par with the high bar set by the staff at the other locations, but the vibe was definitely a slight step down. The Las Colinas location is not decorated like the Lovers or Addison locations - in fact there are no holiday decoration at all which was quite disappointing. What we ordered: SHRIMP DYNAMITE (17) - tempura-battered rock shrimp, sesame seeds, sweet & spicy dynamite sauce PEPPERMINT MARTINI (14) - absolutely delicious and would 100% recommend during the holidays. Hudson house is always a solid choice for a date or happy hour catch up.

This was my LAST visit. Never again will I face the hassles of eating here. The worst thing was that the manager refused to allow our server to split the bill. He said it was too much trouble for them( never mind being too much trouble for us. When all 8 members of our party came up with enough cash, he refused to take cash. The Eggs Benedict were served without any meat (extra charge on an already pricey item), come served in a 1" thick bread, not an English muffin. Very disappointing. Never again.

While traveling for work, I stopped by Hudson House in Irving for happy hour, and it was a great experience. The service was excellent, and although happy hour is only available at the bar, it was bustling with people. They offer fantastic deals on both food and drinks, making it well worth a visit. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!

The freshly shucked oysters are an absolute must - briny, cold, and impeccably fresh. They'll transport you straight to the shores of Cape Cod. And while the oysters are the star, I've sampled multiple menu items, from their decadent lobster roll to their perfectly cooked burgers, and I've yet to be disappointed. The attention to detail here is what sets Hudson House apart. Every dish is thoughtfully prepared, the service is always attentive, and the ambiance is warm and inviting. Whether you're stopping in for a casual lunch or a special dinner, it feels like a treat every time. Hudson House consistently delivers a wonderful dining experience, and I can't recommend it enough. It's quickly become a favorite, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

Busy ambience and a nice patio when the weather cooperates. Had the Hudson Salad for lunch - wow!! Worthy of their name.

French silk is very well made, I would definitely recommend if you're a chocolate lover. Hudson brunch sandwich is also very well crafted, nothing truly special but can hold its own against other breakfast franchises.

The food was absolutely amazing when my friend and I had an early dinner here. The service was nearly top-notch. The ambience was bright, clean, and had a high-end feel. My only feedback would be regarding a mix-up with the fries. I wanted to substitute regular fries for truffle fries, and they brought out both. I didn't think much of it since I was hungry, but we were charged for the truffle fries. I believe it was a mutual communication misunderstanding. It would be helpful if the server clarified whether upgrades to truffle fries are possible and what the additional cost would be.

Love love love Hudson house! They have amazing happy hour deals, but they're always packed, so be aware! I've gone many times and will always go back for their lemon drop martini and Mac and cheese! Their burger is always a yes and their salmon is really really good! The service is always great and everyone is so nice! The las colinas location has a very nice patio when it's not burning hot or freezing cold!

Loved their happy hour deal! Got the cheeseburger and a French 75. Staff was friendly, food was good.

Made a reservation as reviews said it can get busy. Not sure if needed but at least we had one when we arrived. Lots of open dining area seating. Bar area for happy hour was a wait even with reservation. The servers here didn't look very happy. You cannot get happy hour pricing in the dining area even though you're seated right next to it. We went with oysters - which have to be ordered minimum 6 quantity. Boomies and Tiny Dancers because I like smaller oysters. Shrimp cocktail and the lobster roll. The oysters were yummy. Not too briny and delicious. The shrimp were large and fresh tasting. I could have eaten them all. Only four per serving. The lobster roll was good but an option for no remoulade would have been welcome as well. It's not a huge portion and there was a lot of bun. The house made roll was delish. Soft and fragrant. The final win was the skinny fries. Omg! Super good. Not too much salt and well fried. Overall I liked the meal. The ambiance was ok. Loud inside and the servers looked like they'd have preferred to be somewhere else. There was a small salad spill and everyone walked over it for half an hour before someone actually cleaned it up. Even the floor manager walked over it. Hmmm....

Loved the overall vibe of the place. We made a reservation for a birthday. The food itself was good but overpriced. $16 for a basic cheeseburger and dill pickle (no side:), $16 for a salad, $11 for a side of truffle fries. Portion sizes are on the smaller end. But the reason they went down stars is because the waiter had an attitude when we didn't order drinks or appetizers. It was visible and he stopped caring. We didn't for a reason because we had plans later that evening. Plus, it was HH but you could only order HH if you were seated at the bar. After the attitude from our server we just decided to go somewhere else for drinks and dessert. But they then bring out a streamer ... on a lemon. This is not something any of us have ever seen. Just incredibly tacky. The person we came to celebrate was actually embarrassed and said they won't be back. Thanks for ruining the night Hudson.

It's always a bit of a culinary risk to opt for seafood so far from a coast, but we had the pleasure of dining at Hudson House, treated by our daughter and her fiancé. Although her fiancé isn't a seafood person, he ordered the Steak Frites, which was cooked perfectly to order. My daughter opted for the Fish Tacos, burrito style, and absolutely loved them. My spouse went with the French Chicken, which was moist and nicely seasoned, while I enjoyed the Seared Tuna and Ginger salad. I took a chance and didn't specify how I wanted the tuna prepared, and they served it lightly seared--just the perfect way to enjoy tuna. To top off our meal, we shared a Key Lime Pie, which we devoured to the last bite. The excellent waitstaff made this dining experience top-notch. We'll be back and we'll definitely try the oysters!

Not on our traffic pattern but coming home from love field and needed a central option for a larger group of 6. Best oysters ever and our server was attentive and helpful. A variety of entrees that we all enjoyed - I did seared tuna salad and others had burgers and chicken. Fantastic margaritas too!

My best friend wanted to try a dirty martini, so after some searching I came across Hudson House close to us here in Irving. This place did not disappoint! We've all noticed it but never tried and we'll definitely be coming back. We came around 7:30 on a Wednesday night, I was told the wait would be an hour and a half, I joined the waitlist regardless but was a little bummed seeing as they were gonna close at 9. Thankfully it was only about 15-20 minutes! It was pretty busy for a Wednesday but it was also Eid so that could possibly be the reason. A little more upscale than I expected but not judgmental on my work casual attire All the drinks were good, aside from the Paloma I first ordered. It was too smoky for me, but the waiter respectfully exchanged it for a Stonefruit Martini and it was sooo delicious. If you like a fruitier drink this one is for you, it almost tasted like a lemon drop. I was mostly excited to try the shrimp dynamite appetizer and it was worth the hype, exactly how I expected to taste and look. We also got the salmon crispy rice which was delicious as well. I got the french chicken and they allowed me to upgrade to truffle parm fries, amazing! Also a side of lemon parm broccoli that was so good, but I probably wouldn't have finished it all if it weren't for my friends. My friends got the chicken parm and steak frites, everything was delicious! I think this place is perfect for date night or a dinner party with friends. It's somewhat budget friendly but worth every dollar!

Hudson House was good for a business lunch, but nothing over the top. We started with the avocado dip and homemade chips with ranch seasoning. The chips could have had a bit more seasoning and dip could have had some spice or more salt. Our entree salads were plenty big, but just lacked a little flavor. Overall, it seems like the food could be kicked up a notch (but I have not tried enough to confirm). The staff was friendly and attentive, with the restaurant providing a beautiful ambiance.

Hudson House is one of my favorites here in Las Colinas... All the locations are actually pretty consistent with quality and service . The French chicken is my absolute favorite it's so creamy so juicy it's amazing the burger is another all-time favorite we love their happy hour and their drinks selection. The French chicken is my absolute favorite. We absolutely love the burger and the lobster roll. We love going to happy hour here!

Amazing happy hour. The espresso and lemon drop martini are perfect. The French chicken is PHENOMENAL.

Came here for dinner with friends. There were 6 of us and the waitress did a great job of waiting on us. They brought our drinks out quickly and we had a lot of them. The food was fantastic. We had the Chicken, Salmon steak Frita . Everyone said the meal was fantastic. Everyone was friendly and the service was very fast for a Friday night. The menu here is different than the one locates in Addison but you have more room. I definitely recommend giving this place a try

My favorite burger I've ever had, love the pickles and the truffle fries. Amazing atmosphere that feels like you are in the Hamptons or a beach town somewhere but very nice and upscale. The drinks are great and strong. Mac and cheese is also another one of my favorites. Staff is always so helpful, quick and responsive!

Super slow service. The manager actually came by and asked us to move at the end of the meal bc their reservations were running behind. The crazy thing is- that we were constantly waiting on our waitress the entire night!!!! I've had better service at lower tiered restaurants- they deff need to step up their game! Food was okay- but not good enough to make up for the lack of service.

The vibe is 100% on point!!! The happy hour is fantastic and I'm ready to go back. Carter the bartender is super sweet and helpful. The stone fruit martini is bomb and the lemon drop is fantastic. This is one of the best happy hour places in the area!!

Their chocolate pie! Oh my goodness! So creamy, rich, and delicious! I loved the texture of the crust and the crumbles on top. All the food we got was very good but that pie stood out the most! Their key lime pie was pretty dang good too! For entree, I got the redfish and we tried both the lobster mac and regular mac. The blackened seasoning on the fish was light and flavorful. The broccoli on the side was rather large but tasted good! I loved both mac and cheeses but the lobster mac was even better (of course!). Their bar area is bright and nicely decorated. The dining area looked a little dark and dated. Maybe the look they were going for? Regardless, I enjoyed give this place a try and will DEFINITELY be back for more pie!!

Hudson House does NOT accept cash. This would have been nice to know, nothing on the website or the menu. Food was good, service was just ok. I will not come back. I don't support businesses that don't accept cash.

Hudson House is such a great restaurant. The service, drinks and food never miss. This location is super conveniently located right off the highway and has tons of outdoor seating.

Not impressed. Overpriced Dallas hype. Food was average, if that. Service was slow. No need to return.

Came here for a lunch meeting and it was excellent!The service was impeccable as well as the food. Do not expect to come here and eat for cheap. Be ready to spend that company money, honey because it's expensive! I would absolutely come here again if it meant I could get my hands on that lobster sandwich again! Yummy!!

We sat at the bar, but from what I can tell there's a vintage vibe for the set up, space was clean, nothing to call home about. I can absolutely say I prefer the drinks over the food, it wasn't inedible looked better than it tasted; just not my favorite. Service was fine because again we sat at the bar, 4 may be a bit of a stretch, but we didn't have a bad experience so I don't think it would be fair for a 3 just wouldn't merit a return trip.

This is our 2nd time to go for happy hour and it only gets better. Hubby ordered (2) $10 burger and their Lemon Drop Martini and I ordered the oysters that came in 6 pcs minimum. With that I had Meiomi red wine. Of course I still ordered the maple planked salmon to satisfy my hungers Everything tasted great. We dined in the bar area since it's happy hour and our servers were awesome. We even talked to the chef whom my husband mistakenly called to place an additional order but she was very chill with it coz they said they all serve everyone regardless of tables. They have patio seating, main dining seating and bar seating. Ambience is nice--could be loud since we are in the bar area that had the tv with football games on, however it didn't bother us. We highly recommend. Suffice it to say we'd be back here to try other good stuff in their menu esp during the happy hour.

We always come during happy hour, the drinks are good. But I wouldn't pay full price for them otherwise

Ambiance: Bar focused, East coastal vibes, with wrapped booths, & greatly paired music. Upscale casual dining with a clean classic atmosphere. Service: The server we had was named Kayden. He was great, recommended some great dishes like the redfish smothered in bur blanc & lobster roll. Throughout each course he brought new sets silverware (something often overlooked, but very appreciated), was very observant filling our drinks and checked on us just the right amount. Food: For starters we had the Shrimp which were breaded delectably, smothered in sauce and topped with sesame/poppy seeds in a bed of fresh radish salad. Main course we had the dishes previously mentioned. The redfish was cooked perfectly & remains moist. I added a side of the lobster mac after seeing/tasting the lobster roll, as it was cooked perfectly. The cheese kept going & going! For desert split a slice of the in house made key lime pie. Fresh limes were definitely used the crust was so good, it had pecans, graham crackers, and cinnamon. I usually don't ever order desert, but trust me just do it! All in all my experience was great, we will frequent this location moving forward as it made a great first impression.

In my mind Hudson House is sort of the spiritual successor to Houston's, and while not as good it's pretty close in many respects. The oyster bar is probably my favorite aspect, especially since the nearby Fish City Grill closed. The happy hour deal is especially good at $2 a pop. Entrees are solid from the cheeseburger, French chicken, to the Beverly salad. That being said it's a notch below what Houston's was, especially with regard to the proteins. It's relatively spendy, but not outrageous. Also could use something like fish and chips on the menu to round things out. While a modest criticism I also feel there are too many remoulades, even the burger is doused heavily as is the lobster roll. I particularly prefer Maine style with just huge chunks of lobster and copious amounts of butter versus a slathering of mayonnaise. The interior was nicely converted from the prior taco diner, and it was a tasteful conversion.
