Hudson Smokehouse

“My brutha told me about this spot near 138th and the Bruckner Blvd that has good smoked foods. He's practically a meat connoisseur so I was curious to see what this place was about. The inside definitely gives me cozy, barbecue house vibes; the wooden furniture and bar was a nice touch. Kinda like how you would order at a fast food spot, you go up to the counter and order what you want and a waiter/waitress will bring you your order. They have a 5% off discount if you pay with cash They have brunch and happy happy hour menus too, as well as catering. I had the 6 piece smoked jerk chicken wings with two sides, the mac and cheese and seasoned french fries. Everything tasted good to me I'm a big foodie so I'm content so long as I enjoy the meal. The jerk sauce was authentic, made me have a glass of water on standby. The meat was tender and cooked through and through. The Mac and cheese was flavorful and was made with a different noodle than the usual macaroni noodle (I forgot the name, but it's one of those spiral ones). The fries were seasoned well and not overpowering either I also drank the Bacardi punch, it was sweet and refreshing in my opinion. I can definitely see myself coming back to this corner spot, I'm thankful for my brutha for inviting me out last night He loved his food too ”

“I recently stopped by Hudson Smokehouse in the Bronx and ordered the brisket, turkey, mac & cheese, and baked beans. The brisket was the standout: tender, properly smoked, and sliced thick enough to hold its structure without drying out. It had a deep, smoky flavor without being overpowered by sauce. The smoked turkey was equally impressive--juicy, well-seasoned, and a great lighter counterpoint to the brisket. On the sides, the mac & cheese was rich and comforting with a solid balance of creaminess and bite, while the baked beans had good depth--slightly sweet, slightly savory, and clearly simmered with care rather than treated as an afterthought. Service was friendly and efficient, and the overall atmosphere felt casual and unpretentious--exactly what you want when the focus is on the food. If you're looking for reliable, well-executed barbecue in the Bronx, Hudson Smokehouse is absolutely worth a visit.”

“You will love this place. I thought I might not like ordering at the counter but our meal was at out table before I had a chance to take off my coat. Everything was very good moist and flavorful. Our drinks also arrived in a timely fashion and we had a great time it's a 10 outta 10 from me. Couldn't take a picture of the food because it was gone that fast.”
