I have always LOVED breakfast at Dick's, and their prices are so reasonable which is why I attached photo of the menu. Get this! Monday - Thursday they have a special:2 eggs any style2 slices of bacon2 slices of toastFor $2.99, AMAZING! I got there eggs benedict with their famous and very delicious hollandaise sauce. Their hash browns were the best I have ever had flavorful and done to perfection and not greasy (my biggest hash brown complaint)My friend had the burrito and said it was stuffed with sausage and veggies and big enough to feed 2.Now the only complaint I have and you really have to look past it. The tables have some type of acrylic on them which make them feel sticky and the place in general needs a good cleaning. Even the salt and pepper shaker had dirty film on them and the wood work had ketchup and other splatters and the window must have had a years of kids dirty hand marks smeared on it. I love their food so much I can get past this but think how much better reviews could be if it were cleaned up. One other minus, our waitress never asked how the food was or refill our water. But...............I will still be back over and over.

Firing your best bartender 2 weeks after the owner passes away? Wow. Is that what he would have wanted?? I was a regular of this bar, never coming back again.

So disappointing...I'm being generous and calling them out as 3 stars.Next up on my tour of Hudson restaurants & bars was Dick's. I was excited. They're the oldest bar in Hudson. The on-line menu looked pretty good. And we got 2 referrals from local wait staff at other local restaurants.I was SO disappointed. They handed us menus but told us the only thing available off the menu was the appetizers. What??? Then they gave us a single photo copy page of the current "menu" with, basically, burgers, chicken sandwiches, & wraps. NO steaks, NO desserts, NO chicken pasta, NO Lucky Dog Mac & Cheese...NO...lots of stuff.The bartender told us they cut back on food because of COVID. And he said they have a hard time with staffing because of COVID. I know for a fact that this is a load of crap. We've been to 95% of the Hudson restaurants during the pandemic. Do you think LoLo has a photocopy short menu because of COVID? No, they do not. Is Urban Olive & Vine under-staffed? I don't think so. There are plenty of service staff available because so many restaurant people are out of work across the river in Minnesota.On the bright side, the service was great. And the "oldest bar" thing is super cool. I love dive bars. But the food sucked. My burger was okay. But my friend's chicken wraps were dry as hell. I had hope for the hand cut fries. But they were greasy, soggy, under-cooked, and limp. Higher temp in the fryer, please. Bummer.So... I'd say the food is a 2. The service is a 4. And the "oldest bar" in town thing is a 4. I'm averaging it all out to 3 stars.This is a great dive bar for drinking. But forget about the food unless you're drunk and can't tell the difference between good & bad chow.This is only the second negative experience we've had in Hudson. (The other negative was Mallory's.)I probably won't be back to this one.-Daddy Maxx Retro

Great bar food and drinks! Staff was friendly and service was quick. Super casual, so a great place to stop after the beach.

We recently tried the Friday fish fry at Dick's Bar & Grill on the recommendation of friends. The all-you-can-eat fish (cod) is served in smaller portions of 4 pieces along with choice of potato, a side of cole slaw, and a side of tartar sauce. Malted vinegar is also available on request. The fish was very tasty and was served nice and hot, and it had a nice batter without being overly thick. I chose French fries for my potato, and they were nicely seasoned but they were too limp and soggy for my liking. My wife had the mashed potatoes, and she said they were pretty good. The service was excellent and the manager came by a couple of times to check that we were happy with our meal. All in all, I'd eat here again if there weren't so many other fish fries yet to be tried.

I love breakfast here and it's been a while! We ordered curbside on a Sunday morning at 10:30 am. I expected a long wait, but my food was ready and walked out to my car on time at 10:40.I love the breakfast burrito with American fries. That and the breakfast sandwich in ciabatta are my go to items.

Went on fish Friday. Food was excellent! Service was dreadfully slow. Ordered a second round of fish and ended up leaving before it could come out since it was taking FOREVER.

Always a fav. Local dive bar- oldest bar in town. Keep expectations low as it's a BAR. Food is great though. Bartenders are wonderful, efficient and friendly. Strong drinks- careful!A little odd they shut dish the kitchen for a whole hour in weekends after breakfast, as we've tried to eat there many times and had to go somewhere else. Seems like a odd way to lose revenue.
