Hudson View Restaurant

I have taken several visiting guests to Hudson View Restaurant for breakfast, and have been ordering from them for over 10 years. I call them because they offer fresh-​squeezed orange juice. But they have messed up my order repeatedly over the years. I usually call to let them know but do not require that someone come back to deliver orange juice or a side dish, especially in bad weather.
This morning I ordered 3 scrambled eggs with cheddar and bacon, a short stack, orange juice, and a Pepsi. I received 2 scrambled eggs, but no bacon. The bill was $ 30.32. They charged $ 7.45 for the short stack! For two pancakes!!!
When I called and asked why they charged so much, the man told me that there’s no short stack on the menu so they charged me for a full order of pancakes. I told him the woman who took my order did not tell me they don’t offer short stacks. If she had, I would have told her forget that item. What made me angry is that the man argued with me as if I had made the error. After I became angry, he offered to give me a discount of $ 2.50 on my next order, which still makes it $ 5.45 for two pancakes! I told him I would not be ordering from there again.
The food at Hudson View is adequate, not great, and is definitely not worth the exorbitant prices they charge. Delivery is convenient, but not if they routinely screw up the order, overcharge customers, and to make matters worse, argue with customers instead of admitting their errors. I’m done with Hudson View for good. Moving forward, I’ll stick to VICKY’S DINER at 187^th and Fort Washington — reasonable prices, quick delivery, NO ORDER ERRORS.

Went at 4 in the afternoon on a Saturday. It was quiet and the service was quick. The Southwest and Tuscany wraps were prepared fresh and very flavorful. Mimosa was made with fresh squeezed OJ… which makes it difficult to drink a mimosa with all the pulp, but overall it was a good experience. Staff very friendly and attentive.

I went to this restaurant/​diner because le cheile was packed. I never regret my decision. This place is quiet and cozy for a couples dinner. I suggest the Hudson view burger if you have a huge appetite. It brings two burgers lol. I recommend the open steak sandwich is delicious. The prices are reasonable and the customer service was great. I suggest to try the red wine Cabernet.

Okay, so… I may have gone on an impromptu trip to NYC. These things happen. You know what else happened? The best Challah French Toast of my life, that’s what! And it happened at this very location. My friend (who loves diner food) said it was the best and I thought «yeah, sure, okay. I live in Portland» (ugh. I am THAT person. Portland HAS changed me. Don’t tell my mom I admitted that). When I took a bit of that French toast though… it changed me. I couldn’t even pretend to be listening or participating in the conversation, I had the Lord’s work to do.

Pretty much the only diner in the area. It’s fine for general diner fare, but is a little pricier than what I’d expect for the quality of food you’re getting (given my refined NJ diner tastes). :)
That being said, I’ve never had a bad meal here and the staff is always quite attentive with filling water and bringing over the food. Oh, also somewhat randomly, one of the few places that actually listens to me when I tell them that I don’t want my bacon too crispy. One extra star for that!

Delivered us a smelly, gray meat corned beef Reuben. Forced a pastrami Reuben on us without offering an apology, refund, or even asking what we’d like as a replacement. Contacted Seamless about the issue who contacted the diner for a refund, the diner got nasty with them, refused a refund, AND said they no longer wanted our business.
We’ve been ordering from them since 2009, and I can say that it has gone downhill and is completely over-​priced.

Slow service! My boyfriend and I came here for breakfast recently. We walk in and the waitress tells us to take a seat anywhere. After we sit and she brings us the menu we wait maybe 20 minutes more/​less for her to come back and take our order. The diner is not very large at all and I saw a second waitress working the other half of the place so I don’t know what the delay was.
The food was OK. We both ordered omelettes which came with a very small side of home fries. I noticed higher than average prices. Almost $ 11 for each omelette PLUS tax/​tip is a bit higher than most diners I’ve been to. The lattes/​cappuccinos rival Starbucks prices too.
The waitress said she would send over some more water refills which never came. We had to flag down a busboy which brought over a pitcher of water. He poured the water from the side of the pitcher which made a mess and he spilled water on the table and on us. It was our first time here and probably our last. Small portions, pricey and slow service. I’d skip it.

Delicious breakfast, friendly quick service. Well worth the short wait for a table; the food comes fast and hot. Crabby Benedict — yum!

It’s incredibly hard to find a diner in Washington Heights. This diner is very nice. The staff is friendly. They keep checking on you to refill your water, coffee and drinks. The food is great too. The prices are reasonable too (for NYC). I’m very satisfied with my visit. The only other diner I found in this part of Washington Heights is Reme Food Inc. on 168^th street.

Excellent food and service !!!
Went there for the next day for the same meal. Eggs Benedict with salmon. Yummy !!

This is a great neighborhood diner/​coffee shop with a friendly wait staff. Food is excellent, prices reasonable. Great menu and they (staff and management) are both flexible and fast. Definitely recommend it. They are generally quite busy on weekend mornings but like most very good things, it is worth the wait.
PS, they serve wine and beer.

I give zero star to Hudson View Restaurant. The Unilocal app doesn’t let me so I have to give at least something. I’m sad to give a bad review to a local restaurant, but I have to. Today I went for lunch time. This what happened:
1– I ordered a chicken pot pie. Later the lady waitress told me by mistake it was in the menu and that they don’t have chicken pot pie. So I was ok with it so I ordered a Veggie Burger instead.
2– When the veggie burger came to my table. I saw that had a weird texture and color, so before doing a big bit. I touched it with my fingers and tasted a bit of it OMG! It was old and acid vegetables. THEY MADE THE VEGGIE PATTY WITH EXTREMELY OLD EXPIRED VEGETABLES!!! I don’t know how the waitress knew already because she came to my table and she felt embarrassing and told me «do you want to order something else instead. «I already have gastritis if I was gonna eat this burger I could go to emergency room right away. With expired poisoning food :(
3– So I ordered a chicken grilled sandwich to give it a 3^rd chance now. Meanwhile the entire stuff was starting at me the cooker and the rest of the stuff like they already knew that they are doing something wrong.
4– The grilled chicken came with a burger bun instead the typical sandwich bread. Seems that they just replaced the veggie patty and put the grilled chicken on the same bread. Also the salad was not fresh. The way they cut the vegetables of the salad looked like if they take old salad from previous customer meals. And put it to the next customer. :(
5– when I left the the waitress was feeling so sad and embarrassing for everything happened. So we talked I asked her «what happened to this restaurant? before was so good and fresh food“I grew up in this neighborhood and I’m a totally a supporter of local food places. The waitress told me that she is new, and that many customers are telling her the same about the resultant, bad food.
6– when I was talking to the waitress the owner got into our conversation. And I told him what just happened and he got mad at me. I asked him «the chef is new? And he answered me in a bad attitude «the same chef» I don’t think is the same chef when I was 4 years old. I come here with my grandma and my parents. And I just wanted to tell him to take care of his restaurant because our neighborhood is getting gentrified with new brand chain restaurants. And local (moms & pops) restaurants are getting kick out. If he doesn’t change his mind soon his restaurant will have to close and to give that space to IHOP.
7– And last I’m sorry but I will never come back to this restaurant. I’m afraid that I can get sick with expired and used food. I’m going to warn all my friends and family members. Bye bye Hudson View Restaurant :(

I order from here regularly (they deliver!) because the food is good, and the menu has a great selection. However while I’m building my order online I spend most of that time groaning about how expensive it is. I’m usually pretty reasonable about food prices and go out to eat at nice places with probably over-​expensive meals a couple times a month. This place just seems excessively expensive. The most basic things (eggs!) are overpriced and they charge you ($ 2+) to add even the most basic things on to your meal. They just charged me a 35 cent CONTAINER FEE on my last order…
The first few times I ordered from here, it didn’t bother me as much as it does now. I may consider not ordering from here much in the future because of the prices. It’s ok for every once in a great while though, I guess.

uhh yeah so i ordered delivery; hungry man and a milkshake and ill be real honest JIMBOS is better than this place lol.
the french toast was cool nothing crazy they’re just big, eggs and bacon ehh wasnt like maple bacon or anything my pork sausage was not really cooked.
what really got me was my milkshake. you see my picture right? idk if you can tell its super pink, it dead looks and taste like strawberry flavoring and its 5.50? oh noo lol
im not paying $ 19 again for this i wish i woulda just drove to 207 but the fight is today i have house stuff to do.
i promise yall go to jimbos get the same thing and a cherry lemonade instead i bet you and your pockets will love me (:
welp, delivery was super fast though lol

Expensive for a local neighborhood diner on the corner of 181^st. Nothing special or spectacular about this place. It got an overhaul some years back, a new look if you wanna call it that but it’s pretty much the same ish. Diner food with a kick.
I can’t front, the chicken caesar salad is hella’ good. Huge portion too. Pretty much the only reason I like this place.

I love their food, but they never fail to screw up an order. I used grubhub so it was in writing, plain as the words in front of them, but they still got it wrong. I clearly wanted extra sauce in the pasta not on the side because they give you almost dry pasta. Look at the picture. Does that look like its in the pasta or on the side? Ugh! Food is 4 – 5 stars and if I could give a negative for order accuracy and customer service when you call I would give a negative number!

Food is good here but man, is it expensive $$$$! They overcharge for just about everything here… Orange juice (a glass) costs between $ 3 and $ 5.80, depending on what kinda juice you get…
Other than the prices, which is a huge deal, this place will consistently call you back to tell you they’re out of this, or don’t have that… But will sneak and charge you anyway… Just watch your bill when you eat here.

Food was amazing! Service not so much. We were brought to cups of water one which had something floating in the cup. We ordered two brunch combos. I love a good Mimosa so I was excited the combo came with a choice of two drinks Mimosas being one of them. My other drink was a coffee the coffee was watered down and not fresh. The mimosa was t that great either. But then the food came!!! And yet there was hope. The food was absolutely amazing. The French toast was perfect! (Get the real maple syrup it’s worth the other dollar fifty)
The combo came with a option of meat or eggs. My girlfriend and I both went with eggs and ordered two sides of bacon. Not realizing the side of bacon was 6 pieces. We could have shared. But we are both. Don’t judge us. Our mean came up to 47 which it totally was not worth. But hey that’s apart of dining in New York

Great breakfasts. Especially the french toast. There’s tiny hints of sea salt on the toast which always make me come back for more.
The service is good, everyone is very nice and accommodating.

Great service, ok food.
I would come back here for sure. The service is great and I love the location. The food is just fine and the brunch price is just right! I really enjoyed my time here last Saturday.
This place is for locals and that is one of my favorite things about living uptown. There are no tourists to fill up a place and the employees are more patient and kind because we are all working and living together.
I got the Eggs Benedict and they were good but I have to come back and get that french toast. Can’t wait to see you again.
