Hudson Social - Dobbs Ferry, New York

We went there with our friends on a July afternoon for dinner. We sat outside. The service was great. We ordered several items and all of them came reasonable quickly and were quite tasty. We specifically liked the fish dishes. Overall, it was a good experience. We would gladly go back there again.

Amazing spot for Happy Hour and then taking a walk along the river. Great outdoor bar! Go for live music on Thursday nights, watch the sunset, grab some great food and hang with the locals! Right on the train line and great for taking a trip up or down the Metro North Hudson Line for a chill time.

I was pleasantly surprised by my wonderful dining experience at Hudson Social. We sat outside, and although the outdoor seating overlooked the train station parking lot, it was enclosed and set up with comfortable tables and seating. The food was simply amazing. The portions were huge and delicious. We started with the Crispy Brussel Sprouts. The combination of bacon, almonds, and maple syrup made this a sweet, crunchy culinary delight. I followed this up with the Slow Roasted Brisket. This giant slab of brisket was moist, tender, and covered with a superb tangy bbq glaze. They didn't skimp on the pickles or fries either. They were both plentiful and appetizing. The service was polite and diligent, and added to our overall enjoyment of our meal. So glad that we decided to dine here.

Went here after a local hike aling the Hudson River. Food was typical resturant food but with a good view of the river in the background. There was a private event at that time but only outdoor dinning was available but it was alittle chilly and they didnt turn on any heaters they had outside.

Spot right outside the train station, not a great view of the water unfortunately but prime area of the park. They give you a parking pass which is a plus. Happy hour deal was okay, would come back.

Came in with coworkers to wind down from a stressful week at work and to also celebrate two of their birthdays.

We were seated right away, as we waited for the last person to show up, we ordered drinks, chips and guacamole to start. Before I continue, I have to say that I am a professional Executive Chef, with a degree in Culinary Arts, as well as Business and Restaurant Management, so my review may be different from others.

The good:

Great atmosphere, amazing view, love that the train passes by as you eat and drink. Whomever was the bartender, please keep that person and give them a raise! The drinks were amazing and more importantly consistent to taste, color in every way. I assure you, it will be hard to only have one drink with how perfectly made they are.

The chips and Guacamole tasted amazing, worth buying as a starter completely so I recommend it.

Now, I will speak of where it went down hill.

We all placed our orders, first I will say that the waitress was sweet, very attentive, but should have written down our orders. I say that because we all ordered food and specifically said certain things, one said no coleslaw, another said no pickles, I wanted truffle fries, and someone else wanted sweet potatoe fries.

None of our orders came as we asked, so our food had to be taken back for correction. I had ordered the Cuban Sandwich with truffle fries. I received regular fries, and when they returned my plate, all they did were sprinkle the truffle fry mix on my fries I stead of doing it correctly and mixing the fries with the blend in a mixing bowl.

My sandwich was dry, the pork very dry for a Cuban Sandwich and there was no ham which is part of a Cuban sandwich. My co worker who ordered the same sandwich said the same exact thing.

The fries were good, just upset that they didn't do my fries correctly, my friend who ordered regular fries received truffle fries and those fries were done correctly and tasted amazing.

Everyone at the table didn't eat much of the food, we all ordered sandwiches and everyone was disappointed with them.

Maybe a Friday night isn't the time to order sandwiches?

When we first walked in, one co-worker mentioned that we are celebrating birthdays if they can please send over two cakes for with candles right after dinner. When we were done with dinner, the waitress came, they took our plates and we ordered dessert and waited. My co worker had to go remind them about the birthdays. The gentleman that brought the birthday cakes came and sang happy birthday with us and said the cakes were on the house.

Maybe it was an off day for sandwiches, but it's hard to say as all five of us were very disappointed with our meals and no one hardly ate. However, the drinks were amazing and we've all decided to give this place another chance in April.

Next time we will make reservation's as it will be with more people.

I recently dined at Hudson Social and while I enjoyed the ambiance and outdoor seating, I couldn't help but feel the prices were over the top.

$20 for a thin patty chicken sandwich felt excessive, especially considering you can get larger sandwiches for half the price at fast-food chains like Chick-fil-A or Popeyes. The fries were good, and the venue itself was lovely, with nice customer service to boot. However, the steep prices left me feeling disappointed.

If you're willing to splurge for the beautiful waterfront setting or convenience near the train station, Hudson Social might be worth it, but be prepared to pay a premium.

Hudson Social boasts a stunning view and a pleasant atmosphere. However, the food, while decent, didn't quite match the price tag.

The overall experience was good, but the cost may not align with everyone's expectations.
