Hudsons certainly has great burgers but our server was actually the highlight of my meal there. Erin (I hope I got her name rightπŸ™ˆ) was really helpful with recommendations and she was a delight. I was starving and she recommended the double double burger with the disco fries, which were great and very filling. I was also there on a Friday and the place was pretty full and noisy, which is a good vibe for a night out with friends, which is what I was going for.

What an amazing experience! Thanks Hudsons and our great waiter! We will be back soon.Place was quite busy when we arrived at about 18:30, but we didnt wait more than 5min to be seated. After being seated inside, we ordered our drinks and the service was speedy. Food was incredible, highly recommended almost everything on the menu! If you have the time and youre in the area, make sure you stop here.Awesome food, lekker vibe, friendly staff, great manager - what more could you want?Be sure to check this place out. Ill be recommending it to all my peers! πŸ‘

Cons:β€’ Table not being disinfected/cleaned(Pandemic is still ongoing)β€’ very loud music insideβ€’ poor service -> waited 20 minutes for service,another 20 minutes for drinks, server seemed veryconfused and overwhelmedPros:β€’ close and safe parkingDidnt bother to order food because of the long wait. The waiter walked past the table multiple times and seemed to care about other customers more, at least they got food in time.Thing is, a fancy restaurant isnt all, terrible service makes the whole visit feel like a waste of time.Please dont blame the customers for a bad experience they had and ignore them when they leave your establishment. Could have been a bit more professional, it just seemed very childish.

Their service is amazing, the staff is kind and they attend to the customers. But I had a serious problem this time around. The glass i had my coffee in and the spoon they gave me wasnt clean.

I quite enjoyed it. The nachos need a bit more flavour I my opinion but I love the 500ml beer special on a Sunday. Pretty cool!

Always a great place... took me back to Cape Town Greenpoint... people just as pretentious, but food makes up for it... no smoking which is off putting, yet the chips make up for that.

Very busy and noisy restaurant. The food is not great, and the it is very overpriced for what you get. The outside seating area is pleasant, safe parking is available nearby and the milkshakes are very good.

Visited on a busy Saturday, great service.Visited on a quiet Sunday, wait staff just stood looking at patrons with blank expressions. Couldn’t really care if people were sitting for 30mins with no service. Super disappointed.

Review β„–22

After reading the reviews it was quite apparent that the problem most people have is the time the food actuall is being served. Very bad. Shocking. Especially through Uber Eats. The food may have been good, but we ordered through Uber Ests and it arrived 2 hours later, cold and with 2 different stories Ridiculous. Will unfortunately never order again.

Review β„–33

THE BEST BURGER RESTAURANT EVER! The vegan menu at this place is unreal!! I had the Player hater burger and the vegan oreo milkshake. It was crazy delicious! They use the beyond meat patty for the burgers and I believe they use coconut milk for their milkshake. On mondays they have 50% off all their vegan menu items! This place is a must visit! The staff are very friendly and the athmosphere is very diner-like. They play great music and the decor is amazing! Very modern.

Really loved it here! We originally came for their happy hour, which is from 3:30 to 6:30, where all cocktails, beers and appetizers are half price. It was definitely definitely worth it! The cocktails are truly unique, and I worked in a bar, I have seen most cocktails and yet, these stood out. The berry press, pink lady with its candy floss and long Island is amazing! Then the appetizers, we had the calzoncini and chicken strips with fries on the side and we were full! The food was really good and the service very friendly and good with recommendations. We came on a Monday, so one bartender with all these cocktails for everyone was a bit slow, but thats understandable. We stayed longer than happy hour, but even without the happy hour, the prices are good. Highly recommend this place and will be back.

There is great atmosphere here. The spacing is good between each table.The service is great aswell; youre not left alone for too long and the waitrons work together, so you can order from anyone.The Burgers are great, a bit pricey but worth it. The sliders are amazing.The drink special are also good. Great place to wind down with friends after a tough week.

Review β„–41

Not your every day burger outing.The blend of the flavours from the high quality patty, which is real meat.It is definitely an upper market burger joint. It is your typical joint where you can have chill vibes and spend time with your friends and family.Great services, the staff are agile in handling the customers and they are absolutely friendly.The restrooms are great due to the fact there are three kinds of bathroom, the usual two and then a trans bathroom. Perfect for any genders.Definitely will come here again.

Review β„–48

Certainly a very popular venue with patrons some times waiting for a space to eat out. The food was extremely good, which is the attraction here as they specialize in hamburgers. What sets Hudsonss appart from other burger restaurants is the meat used on the burgers. The meat is 100% beef, soft and juicy. Then also the variety of burgers to choose from.

We joined them for their Meat Free Monday specials (all vegan meal items are half-price) and we were so surprised!We were delightfully surprised by their wide range of choices, as well as their ability to deliver greatness all around. From vegan oreo milkshakes to vegan burgers, pizzas and tacos. They offer a wide variety of vegan and normal dishes, fulfilling everyones needs.We will definitely be back!

A really nice spot serving great food. They have a variety of meals on the menu, but (as their name suggests) burgers are their speciality. Service is friendly and fast. They dont have a huge variety of beer on offer, but the Hudsons Pale Ale is available on tap, and quite nice.

They have a great vegan menu! Their burgers are of course always great, and overall a great place to go with friends. Sometimes service is a bit slow in the peak times, but thats to be expected. Their cocktails and beers on tap are 100% - wish they would bring back some of their old cocktails like the New Fashioned or Paloma!

The best bar in Pretoria East. The Manager (pathy) and all the staff are the best service staff. I come here to work every week because of the chilled, work friendly enviroment! If you want good food, drinks, or just a place to hunker down and get some work done. Hudsons hazelwood is your place!

Had first time burgers here. Absolute loved it. The beef pattie itself is out of this world. And then the extras that goes with it avo,red onion, hot pickel and feta cheese very good.The ribs were small 400g its enough if you dont wanna eat alot. Order the skinny fries !!!!

LOVE HUDSONS. Really vibey place with a large outdoor seating section. For sure our go to place when looking for friendly & attentive service as well as some good substantial food.Amazing variety for vegans ito burgers, pizzas and desserts - their busker pizza is always my goto and reasonably priced :). Highly recommend a trip here, if not for their large variety of vegan goods but for their frozen margarita - I am yet to find one that compares.(please bring back vegan Mondays)

Review β„–77

Not my first time at Hudsons and the experience was much better. Started out with a double espresso (good coffee). Opted for the Rockafella this time (burger patty, egg, pineapple, pulled pork, cheese). Took the loaded fries (extra bacon and cheese) which complimented the burger. Only downside, I did mention to the waitress that I prefer a juicy patty (medium or so). The patty however was on the dry side. Finished with some deep fried oreos.

Review β„–79

Ordered on Uber eats. I ordered the influencer burger and it was missing some ingredients. From the picture, it was missing cucumber and pineapple and from the list of ingredients, it was missing vegan mozzarella. I dont know how my burger could have been missing so many ingredients but at least it was my first time ordering it and it didnt taste too bad.Two stars for accidentally tasty good.

Went during the week after a work meeting, so probably around 16:00 in the afternoon. The restaurant itself was not busy, with only about 30% occupancy.For some reason there was a vibe in the air, almost as if all the front line staff were reprimanded for something. Waiters were not smiling, barman was minding his own business, and the front line manager was walking around with a chip on his shoulder.For some reason this caused a knock on effect, we waited around 20 minutes before being served, drinks came another 10 minutes later and we decided to pay for the drinks and move on to another restaurant.Frontline manager ended up sitting with what i would assume to be other colleagues, or owners, unfortunately it did seem like the manager himself was some what intoxicated which would explain the vibe.Overall a very disappointing experience considering I have heard good things about this place and would have actually like to match this to other reviews here.

Review β„–83

So I order one of their monster shakes and let me tell you they are pricey. I was very excited. It was the Lindt chocolate brownie one. As soon as I took a bite of that brownie I was completely disgusted. It didnt even taste like a brownie. Much less did it taste like a Lindt brownie it tasted like brown salty dough. I was very disappointed especially at the price we paid. The deep fried mac and cheese is really good though.
