Retro Southern diner serving Cod Royale, fried chicken sandwiches
"I see Hudson Rouse honoring the ‘real deal’ ethos in this modern Southern luncheonette and grocer housed in a 1914 brick building: a hoe cake stacked with braised collards and a runny fried egg served with cane syrup and a bright homemade hot sauce, fried chicken livers adorning a rice bowl with rich gravy and caramelized onions, and a menu rooted in Southern classics executed with realness and care." - ByBon Appétit Staff & Contributors
"Housed in a 1914 brick building, I enjoyed Hudson Rouse’s modern Southern luncheonette and neighborhood grocer vibes with inventive takes on classics — a hoe cake layered with braised collards and a runny fried egg served with cane syrup, pimento cheese on burgers, a rice bowl with expertly fried chicken livers, rich gravy, caramelized onions, and the talked-about Cod Royale, Rouse’s riff on the Filet-O-Fish built on a battered fish and tangy tartar." - ByPervaiz Shallwani
"Pure Quill Superette in Edgewood is one of our favorite lunch spots for a few reasons. It has an old-school Southern diner feel (you might hear Dolly Parton when you stop by), the service is friendly, and the food is delicious. We’ve been known to plan our day around the cod sandwich, but the fried chicken sandwich is just as worthy. The chicken has perfectly snappy skin and comes with pickles, lettuce, and sweet honey mustard, all layered on a buttery bun. Simple, but fantastic." - jacinta howard
"Pure Quill in Edgewood brings nostalgic diner vibes, with worn booths basking in sunlight, Dolly Parton serenading through the speakers, and a mood so relaxed it feels right to kick off your shoes (but don’t do this). It's never too busy, so this place works for sneaking away during a hectic workday or when you don’t feel like people’ing. You’ll get a filling, delicious old-school lunch here, like a cod sandwich so messy it deserves a bib, a crispy fried chicken sandwich piled high with pickles, lettuce, and honey mustard on a buttery bun, or hearty fried chicken livers over rice." - jacinta howard
"A reliable East Side favorite offering comfort food executed with intention; dependable hits and a solid beverage program make it a convenient local choice for neighborhood meetings." - Henna Bakshi
