Reviews for Hudson Hil's Café in Cold Spring, NY
*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 avery popular following so a larger dining area makes more sense however they have a very old and tiny Building which is cute butthey're losing lots of business because of it we almost said forget it however we waited almost 1.5hrs to be seated because weenjoy good safe food. The service was ok, could have been better however they were very busy so I wouldn't hold that againstthem. Read more
I have no idea why this place is so incredibly popular. I was visiting my friend and she insisted on treating me to breakfast... here. The place was very crowded on a Sunday morning and we wanted to sit outside - or I did, due to COVID. The only table wassquished in between another one and the hostess stand. The ambiance was awful - a French bulldog in the company of nearby dinerswas barking its head off, a constant stream of traffic near our table, waitstaff hitting our table due to the cramped space, motorcycles roaring by. And the prices were ridiculous - this isn't NYC!! My coffee was so bitter, it was nearly undrinkable.although my friend wasn't as annoyed by the atmosphere as I was, she said the food was overpriced and had deteriorated. Read more
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 seatedwithin three minutes inside. For what it's worth based on past experience, the porch seating outside is excellent as well - ithas a very nice, rustic B&B vibe with great viewpoints of the main thoroughfare that lend to some excellent people watching. Itwas about 90 degrees at the time so it might not have been SUPER comfortable if we had been seated there, but we would have doneso without complaint. I was famished after climbing a mountain, and ordered the Biscuits & Gravy ($17.95), which came with eggsand country potatoes. Delicious. There may be a SLIGHT bias here since I think food always tastes better after you've climbed amountain and earned the subsequent calories, but why shouldn't this place benefit from that timing? The gravy was perfectlythick with what looked to be bits of Canadian bacon, the scrambled eggs were moist without being watery and the potatoes wereseasoned perfectly. I demolished it, but don't think that means the portion was meager - it was a very generous serving. Sufficeto say though that I didn't eat again until the next morning. My chum got the country-fried steak and eggs and also enjoyed herdish. Despite climbing the same mountain, she actually did have leftovers to bring home for later. I've had mild issues withthe 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 Read more
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 recommendthis place, and in particular the BLT sandwich. The prices here are also very reasonable. Read more
Love this place. This is a must go to for brunch. It has amazing food and it is locally sourced. Don't we all love farm to table... restaurants? I know I sure do. Read more
I went on a cold day, where the wait was at least 1-2hours long.. The person at the front was amazingly rude, as many people who... tried getting a reservation were trying to figure out what to do and where to stand in line.. it seemed like they were shortstaffed at the time. However, our hostess was kind and friendlier, and the food was decent. Looks like this is the best brunchoption around there.. Please do try the butter spice apple cider rum - it was warm and yummy.

The food was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. I would quite honestly drive the hour Cold Spring is away from my home just to eat here... again. I ordered the Fig and Apple Grilled Cheese, and my friend ordered the Chicken Pesto Sandwich, and we split them. Thesandwiches were just divine, and the bread they were made on really made them taste even better. If I could give this place a 6out of 5, I would. Service was good as well. This is hands down the best choice for places to eat in Cold Spring! Read more
Super cute. Blew up a little from TikTok. I would not order the chicken fried steak again, it was pretty tough. Overall sweet... vibes! Be prepared to put your name in for a long wait on the weekends. Read more
