Friendly Red's

Friendly Red’s Tavern is a great new addition to the town of Hudson. Seems as though we’ve waited a long time for this, and now it’s finally here. It took me a month to get in as I was very willing to let them work the kinks out before rushing to judgement. Glad I did. They’re in full swing now and my experience was excellent. The room is large with seating that gives you plenty of elbow space. Outdoor seating is also available but I chose to sit at the bar. Three very friendly and helpful bartenders handled a nearly full bar remarkably well. I started with the greatly effective Cadillac Margarita and an appetizer of delicious Stuffed Jalapeños. After that came Red’s Burger Melt, cooked to order, which was as tasty a burger as I’ve had in recent memory. With all the new patrons the atmosph

Stopped in for late lunch. Our server Sam was great. We enjoyed some keeno with a fabulous Italian stromboli. Serves at least two. My wife really enjoyed the chicken risotto. Highly recommend.

Waited behind a brick wall at bar so of course nobody saw me. Bad design. Place is like a big cafeteria. No ambiance. Your neck will be sore from watching the televisions as they are approximately 10ft up in the air around the bar. Again poor design. Lots of money spent but they need a new designer. Big open room with zero atmosphere. Staff is ok. Food is not good. Brown broccoli and stale wrap. Burger roll hard not grilled like cardboard. Didn’t eat.

Fine, basic bar food. The pizza was the favorite. Service was lovely. One large room on first floor. Second floor is an event center. I wish something special stood out for us to return.

For the past 3 years we have made it a family tradition to visit Friendly Red's when we come back east for vacation because my husband loves their lobster roll, and they never disappoint. This year we went to the new location that just opened in Hudson, and the staff, atmosphere and quality of the food is just as amazing as the original. Can't wait for next years visit.
