Went for the first time during the taste of Mott haven and I've been thinking about this brisket since! I've walked by the place a few times and never went in and I'm upset with myself I hadn't! However that will change and I'll definitely be back to enjoy this place!

Wow - was on my way somewhere else for lunch & stumbled into their hickory smoke wafting down Bruckner Boulevard, & immediately changed my plans. DEF the right move ! They are now part of the pantheon of top Texas-style smoked BBQ places in NYC. The brisket was done perfectly, & was not too salty. The buffalo wings were also amazing - they get some smoke & some zesty spices before they get hit w/ the buffalo sauce - they are now prob tied for my fav buffalo wings in the city. They also have some crazy beer pouring contraption which guarantees perfect pours - I just wish they had a German pils. Very clean & nice inside, & very friendly staff. They are also next to an amazing bookstore - The Lit Bar - which also has a wine bar in the back (?!), & which is somehow the Bronx's only bookstore ?!? The cornbread here is also AWESOME don't sleep on it! Can't wait to come back again next time I'm in the area. Only compliant - this area has gotten very hot, & not easy to park around here.

Great space, loved the food and the service, came in hungry and got FED!!!!! Had my beer and just relaxed. No bad reviews, great open space, the vibes were great and the food was hot, plated quickly and I was ready.

Wonderful find in the Mott Haven area! I visited Hudson on a Friday, which worked out perfectly for me- Hudson offers a few specials available during the weekend so of course I happily agreed to choosing the special- the one I chose is named "Pig" ... they have different options but this was perfect for me- I had the brisket with bbq baked beans.... Yummmmmmmmm nomnomnomnom. What's also great is that the brisket is juicy and tasty on its own, yet Hudson offers four different sauces to drizzle on your meat for a nice flavor and/or spice kick. I'll be back ( in my terminator voice )

All the food was fresh and well-seasoned. The replacement order came out within five minutes of ordering, and the drinks were strong. The bartender was very helpful and knowledgeable about all the menu items, assisting us with our order.

Bronx BBQ done the real way! The Hudson Smokehouse will astound you! For a friend's birthday celebration, I booked a table for ten people. Although reservations are not required, I did so in advance due to the size of my gathering. The venue is rustic with an outside dining area, and it's located in the center of the South Bronx. We were seated at our table immediately after being greeted by the staff. The menu offers a wide range of choices. I served a few sharing dishes at the table, keeping things simple: creamy coleslaw, delightful and flavorful cheesy potatoes, crisp cucumber salad to brighten the palate, and great crunchy brussel sprouts! There are a few BBQ selections available, but I went with the 1/2 brisket for my meal, which comes with your choice of side. I went with the Hudson rice. This dish was incredible; the rice had a ton of flavor and the meat was moist and tender. I had a crisp and delicious prosecco that I ordered. I had to order dessert since I couldn't leave without having some, and the banana pudding was amazing! The bananas were fresh, the pudding was incredibly fluffy, and the flavor was just perfect. They also offered some delicious additional alternatives, like fried twinkies and Oreos! The staff was incredibly kind and helpful. The food is delivered to you when it's ready; ordering is done at the counter, and service was prompt. The owner was really kind and accommodating to my group. The portions are good for the pricing range and the prices are reasonable. Here, credit cards and cash are both accepted. Since the location is close to the subway, you can definitely use public transportation there. If you intend to drive, you can park by driving around the block a few times. I rate this place a 10/10 overall!

Nice Americans eatery. American BBQ places are hard to find in the Bronx with the others Johnson BBQ place near me. And the two Dallas BBQs. I usually order the turkey, but this time I'm going for the briskets.

I was craving some meat in Mott Haven and noticed this restaurant as we were walking. It had a decent rating and I haven't had American BBQ in a while. So, we walked in with expectations low. Food: 3.5/5 I ordered the hog combo (2 meats + 1 side) for $26 (after tip and card fee around $34) with brisket and pulled pork. I appreciated that gave me lean and fatty brisket but, the pulled pork was absent any sauce so very dry. There are sauces on the table but, I am used to it being already covered in a sauce to keep the pork moist and tender. I ordered the brussel sprouts for my side which were swimming is a maple and cinnamon sauce with walnuts and cranberries. I gave my combo 3/5. My partner ordered the same combo but with burnt ends and turkey. I will admit, the turkey was very tender and will probably order that next time. He ordered the mac and cheese and that was okay (no cheese pull). My partner really enjoyed their combo and would give it 4/5. All in all, I have had better American style BBQ but, this is one of the few options in the South Bronx and it is not bad. It is not too far from the train so I may come back.
