Pepper Pod - Hudson

Convenient place to grab lunch in the town of hudson every experience I have here is good. Average breakfast, lunch, and dinner orders I've had here in the last couple of years. ONE TIME hit my head preatty bad on a tacky model display shelve that's in the worse place, in front of a door thats in a tight corner area. To top it off, someone else must have done it too because instead of taking it down and out of the walkway, they taped foam on the corner to reduce blunt force trauma

I live in town and so desperately want to love this place, but my experiences always fall so short. I 've been eating here on and off since 2019. The menu has never changed, and the specials are always the same, just rotated. The food lacks character, creativity, and salt. One time my partner and I ordered burgers and requested a fried egg on the burger. We were told the kitchen staff could not add an egg to the burger as, the egg ladies are not here (It was around the afternoon on that day). The service is always friendly, and one time during the great plague of 2020 I got a great deal on a jack n coke to go because of the young and inexperienced wait staff. Unfortunately there are almost always flies present in the restaurant which makes me worried for a chronic source of breeding within the business. The decor is cute, but dated. Many seats, booths, and tables could use a switch out. The taxidermy needs a good dusting and maybe even switched out. And the walls/flooring/etc could use a new coat of paint. I 've never been in the kitchen, but it 's kind of open and I 've peeked in and it looks old, and messy. The bathrooms are also dated, but they 're at least always clean and stocked. I suspect the ownership of the restaurant is probably as old and outdated as the restaurant and menu are. Overall, 2-3/5 stars. The pod always meets my hunger needs, but it 's nothing to write home about.

Love the food here just wish the hours were a little better.... Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

An excellent restaurant with a unique small town feel. A local favorite, and a place all i76 travelers should consider. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

I've been here before and tonight was the best it's ever been. Usually the service is adequate, but tonight they really seamed to care. Food was very good and everyone at the table enjoyed their food. Keep up the good work. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $10–20
