Hudson View Restaurant
“Both breakfast entrees warmly the heart to deliciously awaken our spirits, respectively, for a new day to be fulfilled.”
“The only other diner I found in this part of Washington Heights is Reme Food Inc. on 168th street.”
“The food was delicious, and perfect for the brunch I was looking for, but, in all honesty, it is hard to mess up French toast, eggs, sausage, and bacon.”

I just paid $14 for a slice of spinach pie. I walked in, asked for a slice of pie for take out, they said $14, I asked them to repeat 2 more times, then paid just for the sake of seeing what the pie will look like.
Go to 181 Cabrini instead. It is 2 min. walk away, very reasonable prices with delicious offers (had breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, late dinner, drinks etc.. there) and you don't feel like crying after paying $14 for a slice of spinach pie.
This place stinks. Just get out of this neighborhood and open a place in Soho instead. Hudson View Restaurant, you are not wanted in Hudson Heights.
Other facts:
1. They do not have fresh bakery items (plastic bagged croissant, which looked a few weeks old)
2. During my visit, I watched a waiter cleaning up the table tops with a giant coffee filter. How much dirt that poor thing can pick, really??
***Post-spinach pie experience:
God bless Tums.
Good brunch deal, giant mimosas and big plates…Everything was fine until TWO cocroaches crawled down the side of the wall and customers at the next table warned me in time before it landed on me. A busser quickly killed them both with his wash cloth and I figured he would alert a manager. No further follow up, at all.
Today I ate lunch at this place with a friend who lives nearby, and it was quite satisfactory. It's small and we arrived at about 12:30 p.m., but we had no problem finding a table and it was enjoyable sitting by the window. I ordered one of the lunch specials; a four-vegetable sandwich which came with a generous amount of fries plus cole slaw and a pickle. The fries were just "fair", but everything else was delicious. Our server was a very pleasant young woman – although I had to ask her twice to bring more napkins – and the busboy was also very pleasant. Lastly, the restroom was very clean.
Great service, ok food.
I would come back here for sure. The service is great and I love the location. The food is just fine and the brunch price is just right! I really enjoyed my time here last Saturday.
This place is for locals and that is one of my favorite things about living uptown. There are no tourists to fill up a place and the employees are more patient and kind because we are all working and living together.
I got the Eggs Benedict and they were good but I have to come back and get that french toast. Can't wait to see you again.
This is the sort of simple, wear-pajama-pants-in-at-noon diner that every neighborhood needs. You eat here when you're hungover or you need some greasy food to drunkenly stave off a hangover or you only have $10 on your wallet and you need a burger. The servers are all friendly and the menu is huge. There's a wine selection, which no one ever, ever selects from and they serve beer, which makes more sense. The fries are perfect, so always get the sandwich "deluxe."
It's convenient, clean and close to Bway/181 area. I can't speak to brunch or to seamless but I can say that as far as diners go, this place is very decent. The wait staff is especially polite and the food is good. It's a relatively small place but it's on the corner with all glass looking out on Fort Wash and 181 so it doesn't feel claustrophobic. The prices aren't necessarily cheap and I get that people generally expect cheaper for the Heights but I didn't find anything appalling about paying $10-12 for a decent breakfast in NY. A coffee and sandwich from DD will run you $6 easily so don't complain.
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.
Yep, that totally sums up my experiences at Hudson.
HV is packed to the brim during peak times. At first glance, HV looks like a local quaint corner joint, sporting both the US and LGBT Pride flags proudly. Qué cute, right? Well, upon closer examination, HV exhibits the same traits as practically every other joint in Washington Heights;
1. It is the only place of its kind in the area. (Yep, the only non-Dominican diner in the Heights!) There are really no comparable alternatives;
2. It can charge whatever it wants and nickle and dime you for mediocre food because of reason #1; (seriously, almost $7 for two eggs and toast?!)
3. It thrives because it has become the go-to place for locals, also because of reason #1.
Although I find myself succumbing to reason 3, I do my best to cook myself or steer elsewhere (yass, the A train is right there! use it!).
Pretty much the only diner in the area. It's fine for general diner fare, but is a little pricier than what I'd expect for the quality of food you're getting (given my refined NJ diner tastes). 🙂
That being said, I've never had a bad meal here and the staff is always quite attentive with filling water and bringing over the food. Oh, also somewhat randomly, one of the few places that actually listens to me when I tell them that I don't want my bacon too crispy. One extra star for that!
