Reviews
Quinnie’s in Hudson is what happens when a farmhouse, a playground, and a gourmet kitchen have a beautiful love child. We came for brunch and ended up staying for hours — the kids were busy playing giant Jenga while we played “pretend we’re on vacation.”
The food? Ridiculously good. Juicy burgers, a kimchi-packed sandwich that slapped (in a good way), and pickled eggs that made us question everything we knew about eggs. Even the lemonade felt fancy.
If you’ve got kids, tastebuds, or just need a good hang — this place delivers. 10/10, would trade my kitchen table for theirs.
This place seems unappealing on a map, caught between a gas station, a thrift store and a car/tractors dealer. But when you pass the door, you’re in a new world.
The place has obviously been renovated with a lot of love. It’s simple and easy on the eye. There is a large table on the second floor. I would picture a brunch with friends and kids, or a bookclub meeting. LGBT friendly!
We only tried one plate, the Boo Boo Breakfast. It was really good. Flaky buttermilk biscuit, meat-dense bacon and perfectly fried egg. There is a definite waste-less approach in the details and that contribute to the experience.
There are very cute items for sale, with good food products too. They don’t seem to go for the “curated vintage items” route, and for that, kudos. (I mean, there’s Habitat for Humanity just the other side of the street anyway!)
I hadn’t stopped by in at least a couple of years; the food was memorably tasty at the time, so naturally I was excited to try it again. I also recalled that they were active in hosting community outreach events, which was another draw.
I ordered a panzanella salad and a couple of other items to go. When they handed me two small boxes, I wondered how it could be worth nearly $50. I did notice at the register that a 18% gratuity was automatically included (yes, even on to-go orders). Say what you will about tipping culture, but I find this absurd – especially since the food is expensive to begin with!
The panzanella salad, while flavorful with a nice punch of spice, did not meet expectations. I have included a picture of the salad; that is all they gave me for my $16, I had yet to take a bite when I took the picture. Not only did the amount of food not meet expectations, but the substance of the salad did not either. Forgive me for my naivety, however I thought a panzanella salad included bread – there was nothing on the menu to suggest otherwise.
While the panzanella salad was obviously a disappointment for me, my experience is probably best highlighted by the PB+J cookie. Interestingly, the cookie tasted very close to the sandwich of the same name. Quinnies achieved something, but was it a good thing? I love PB+J sandwiches, but is it good that my cookie tasted like the sandwich? That is the crux of the issue – Quinnie’s sets expectations and then goes on to fulfill its own priorities: small portions, hefty prices, forced gratuity (as that point just a surcharge), confused food. Ultimately it all undermines any hope for a positive dining experience. For an establishment that supposes to support its community, it serves food that most of it probably couldn’t afford (and probably wouldn’t like). Quinnies has A LOT of work to do, and would be well served to re-examine their many flaws: their food, their business plans, and even their sense of morality.
Just a heads up – in case you’ve cared to read this far and notice the 5 star review and are confused: I generally only ever score 5 stars to any restaurant. As unpleasant an experience I may have had, I don’t think one bad one should work to tank a rating.
Cya bye, Quinnies. ✌️
