Hudsons Canadian Tap House

I visited Hudson's with friends recently and we had a great experience. We went early for lunch so the place was quite empty, which we liked. I ordered the Cobb salad and it was delicious! We shared a creamy buffalo chicken dip and it was also good - I dare say the chips were even better than the dip! For dessert I chose maple bacon mini donuts and it tasted like more! The server helping us was friendly and checked on us often. Overall a great time in a nice pub!

Friendly staff, good drink selection, nice patio, but food could use some work. We ordered chicken tenders, chicken sandwich, and steak - all of which were pretty overcooked. The chicken sandwich was quite bland and the cutlet quite small for the price. The side salad was delicious, along with the sauces for the chicken tenders. Overall a nice spot for some drinks on the patio and a decent meal.

I've been here a few times this winter due to work putting me up close by. I'm always enticed by their super affordable happy hour specials. I've always had really great service, and the food comes out tasting fine with no major issues to report. It is a smaller chain so creativity is minimal, but anything I've ever eaten I'd have again. Great beer selection, friendly service and good specials. It's about all one could ask for close to their hotel.

It's not often I write bad reviews, but the last couple visits haven't been great (last night was horrendous). I've been going to Hudson's off and on since it opened in Saskatoon, and the first few years, they arguably had the best service in Saskatoon for a bar/pub setting. Lately, it seems management has been lacking, as the bartenders weren't the most attentive, and our server last night was downright neglegent while standing at our table. She over charged my friend for a flight of drinks, only served my partner 2 out of the 3 beers for his flight, and never asked how she can rectify it, and then blatantly ignored me and walked away when I was going to order a drink. My partner ended up asking for another beer to complete his flight, and she brought him an entire pint, which at this point, we assumed she likely was going to charge him for the entire pint. I'm pretty understanding when it comes to people maybe having a bad day, or just not being on their game, but at the rate this girl was going, she never should have come to work if this was the case. At the end of our visit, I asked to speak to the manager, and the manager was apologetic and said it was the waitresses first time serving on her own. I told the manager this didn't excuse the fact that she was blatantly rude and uncooperative throughout our time there. I would also suggest that they don't make someone on their first shift alone, work on a Saturday during a playoff hockey game. In the past at Hudsons, I've had staff help rectify a problem by offering a drink on the house, or taking a percentage off the bill, but there wasn't any compensation for the awful service. I won't be going out of my way to return. I hope the waitress has a better understanding of her job in the days to come, as to not subject another group of customers to this, and I hope management improves their operations.
