Reviews for Hudson's Southside Tap in Iowa City, IA
I'll admit it - this review is long overdue... but it got to the point where I felt like it would be weird for me to post... something. I've visited Hudson's many, many times and I've always had an amazing experience. The food menu is incredible, butit's definitely comfort bar food. If you're trying to be healthy, your choices are limited, but if you want to go home stuffedand satisfied, anything on the menu is a safe bet - I know, I've literally had everything. The beer selection is solid, with anabove-average selection of taps on rotation, many of which are locally sourced. The cocktail menu is possibly the best in thearea, in my opinion, between cost, variety, and consistent quality. The ambiance of the bar is fun, but chill, which makes it anice retreat just off of the University's main campus to watch a game on Saturday or relax on the patio come Sunday. Mostimportantly, the staff are phenomenal and the whole reason why I'm writing this review tonight. I was a regular at the bar -hence why I felt uncomfortable reviewing - but the last several months, life led me to be completely MIA. Tonight, I walked inthe door and three of the staff excitedly greeted me by name, instantly. Some of the people have changed but the experience hasnot - the new manager even came over during a lull to introduce himself to me. It's nice to be back at the best kept secret inIowa City and I think it's finally time to share it with others. Keep up the good work! Edit: Spelling Read more
Good experience there. Service was good considering we got there right when they opened. The menu was good. I had the Iowa... poutine. Wife had the house made chili. The portions were great and the beer selection was really good featuring a greatselection of local brews. Definitely will be back. Read more
I had a great burger here. Homemade French fries are often not good, but these were very good. We also had excellent service... from Jacob. Timely and attentive. Read more
My husband and I ordered food for take out. Overall the food was just okay. We ordered the seafood Mac n cheese, the Baxter... burger, and the #8 fancy fries. The Mac n cheese was bland and not very cheesy. The burger was dry with bacon that wasundercooked for my liking. The fancy fries were also relatively bland in my opinion but my husband liked them. We paid $47 forthis this food which I must say, was not worth it. I doubt that we will get food from here again. Read more
Food was delicious but the mac n cheese was slightly bland according to two of my friends. But one thing I really loved is the... server she was extremely caring and provided us top notch service. Read more
Food and drinks were top notch! Server wasn't the best..she was super rude from the moment we walked in the door. Took 20... minutes to bring our drinks..we watched them sit at the bar for about just as long..definitely recommend the cheese curds bestI've ever had! Would give 5 stars for food! Read more
I really like the atmosphere of this place. It has a large selection of tap beer. Great food menu. I could smell how delicious... the food was when it came out of the kitchen. Service was excellent and food was delicious. Only wish I was in town longer trymore menu items and tap beers. Will return next time I'm I town. Read more
