Hudson Smokehouse

I just ordered from here via Grub Hub today. Long story short, the ribs were great, The sides were not, the dessert was dessert. I would order from here again the next time I have a craving for ribs but don’t want to cook them and I would try different sides.

The long story… I wanted to order via Uber Eats because I use that service more but it says “too far to deliver.” No problem I have GrubHub+ so I order from there. The prices are the same on each app but I’m sure like most places they’re higher than in store. I ordered a full rack of ribs, single collard greens, single brussel sprouts, double Mac & Cheese, and banana pudding. Oh and two sauces, The Bronx bomber and sweet bbq sauce. The ribs were so good. Nice and tender, good flavor. Tasted good with and without the sauce. I would totally order again! I was full and still wanted to eat more but didn’t, I’m getting that feeling again but I’m going to save it for leftovers. 5/5 The collard greens wasn’t my jam. There was onions in it, I’m not completely opposed to it but it’s not what I’m used to. There was quite a bit of red pepper and vinegar. No need to add hot sauce. This is a big personal preference thing, I could see how some may enjoy this. 3/5 The brussel sprouts were inedible for me. If a small description was included to say “with walnuts and cherries” (I think) it would’ve saved me the horrid taste in my mouth, possible allergic reaction (I’m allergic to cherries and didn’t realize what it was until I took a closer look), and $7+. 0/5 Now for the Mac & cheese I wasn’t expecting my preferred soul food baked Mac and cheese, but when I opened the container and the top noodles barely had cheese on them, immediately something was off. While edible, a sprinkle of salt and more cheese would make a world of difference. My 3 year old enjoyed and asked for more so there’s that. 3.5/5 The banana pudding was cool. Nothing to write home about. Lots of cream, didn’t bite into much bananas or nilla wafers. I’d have to have an extreme craving, no desire to make my own, and no plans to go into the city to get some from Magnolia bakery (who’s super easy recipe is available online) to order it again. My daughter also enjoyed this and asked for more. 3/5. I wish I knew how much sauce was included in my order then I wouldn’t have ordered more. I had a total of 12 small containers of sauce. Idk which was which, but I think there was a single Bronx bomber which was good, and the rest were sweet bbq which were really good. One issue I have is the container size inconsistencies. I ordered single for the two vegetables, and double for the max and cheese. The collard greens and mac & cheese were the same size, the brussel sprouts were smaller. Maybe I got extra of the collards? Idk If I had only gotten the ribs there would be a 5 star rating, unfortunately those sides were all a waste to me.
