Hudson House<\/strong>, the Dallas-born chain known for its ice-cold martinis, oysters, and fan-favorite burger, will soon open its newest location in Uptown Dallas.<\/p>\n

The restaurant is set to arrive at 3699 McKinney Ave., Suite 200, on Wednesday, February 4, and reservations are now open.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the tenth outpost for Hudson House<\/a>, which opened its first restaurant in Highland Park in 2017. The Uptown restaurant joins locations in Addison, Frisco, Las Colinas, Preston Hollow, Lakewood, and Fort Worth, along with two Houston-area outposts. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s also the first of three restaurants that Vandelay Hospitality has planned<\/a> for the West Village development, joining the forthcoming D.L. Mack\u2019s and Ten Ramen, both of which are \u201csoon-to-open,\u201d according to a press release. Vandelay Hospitality has grown massively in recent years, including the acquisition of Ten Ramen and Tei-An, the acclaimed Japanese restaurants opened by much-lauded chef Teiichi Sakurai. <\/p>\n

That growth has not been entirely without controversy. In 2023, the restaurant group settled a lawsuit related to employment discrimination. That same year, a warrant for the arrest of Vandalay CEO Hunter Pond was issued after he allegedly spit on a woman during an altercation<\/a> in a Colorado ski town. The chain was also sued by a California-based restaurant also called Hudson House, which opened in 2008, who claimed<\/a> that Vandelay\u2019s identically-named restaurant was causing confusion among customers. <\/p>\n

Despite that drama, Hudson House has earned a reputation as a solid neighborhood eatery with a menu that\u2019s heavily influenced by the East Coast. That\u2019s evidenced by both the space\u2019s nostalgic design and the menu, which mostly focuses on classic American fare.<\/p>\n

When it arrives in Uptown, diners can expect Hudson House\u2019s popular cheeseburger, made with a special \u201chouse\u201d sauce and thin-seared patties, East Coast oysters, and approachable plates like chicken Parmesan and fish tacos. <\/p>\n

The star of the bar menu at Hudson House is its self-proclaimed \u201cWorld\u2019s Coldest Martini,\u201d which is available in multiple iterations, including the savory Bleu & Gold, topped with housemade blue cheese stuffed olives, and the sweet Stone Fruit, mixed with peach vodka and white cranberry juice. <\/p>\n

The 5,600-square-foot West Village location will include a large wraparound bar, spacious sit-down raw bar and outdoor patio.<\/p>\n

Beginning February 4, the restaurant will be open Sunday through Wednesday from 11 am-9 pm, and Thursday through Saturday from 11 am-10 pm. On the weekdays from 3 pm-6 pm, Hudson House is on happy hour, with half-price martinis, $3 East Coast oysters, and $10 burgers. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hudson House, the Dallas-born chain known for its ice-cold martinis, oysters, and fan-favorite burger, will soon open its…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":550119,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5135],"tags":[5229,27144,1596,7236,10084,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-550118","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-dallas","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-chefs","10":"tag-dallas","11":"tag-downtown","12":"tag-openings","13":"tag-texas","14":"tag-tx","15":"tag-united-states","16":"tag-united-states-of-america","17":"tag-unitedstates","18":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","19":"tag-us","20":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115975040799741175","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/550118","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=550118"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/550118\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/550119"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=550118"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=550118"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=550118"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
