I've strolled past Peachtree many times and once they had a chalkboard outside announcing their daily special of macaroni and cheese with kale and breadcrumbs. I am not a mac and cheese person but that day it sounded delicious and the three days following, I could not stop thinking about that mac and cheese. I finally made it to Peachtree last night, not for the mac and cheese-that craving has passed, but for the five dollar build-your-own burgers on Monday nights. It was a Monday night so there were not a ton of guests there but more than I expected to see. The restaurant is in a historic home on Main Street in Hudson. They have fixed it up really nicely. The decor is simple but elegant. There also seems to be quite a lot of seating for being in a complicated space. Our server was Alex. He was also the host and the bartender. Staff was a bit thin being Monday night but we got all of the kindness, attention, and friendliness we could ask for and not a bit more than we wanted. Alex was fantastic. He made sure that our drinks stayed topped off and we were updated on the status of our food. He took a few minutes to have a conversation when we had questions even though he had pleanty of other tasks at hand. The build-a-burger deal is pretty cool. Your burger starts at 5.00. There are extra charges for some items. I got a veggie burger instead of beef and it was a dollar more. My husband got the sirloin burger with onions, mushrooms, garlic aioli, feta cheese, and ketchup. I got the veggie burger with onions, mushrooms, garlic aioli, and sriracha. We also got an order of fries to split. I was really impressed. After reading yelp reviews I didn't have the highest expectations for Peachtree but gosh--the fries were the picture of perfection and my burger was just fantastic. The fries were cut very thin and cooked just perfectly. The most incredible balance of perfect and soft, sprinkled with flakey sea salt and rosemary. My husband kept trying to offer me some sauce to dip it in and I told him not to dip perfection. My burger was also impressive. It was a black bean base with corn and brown rice (I think?). Sometimes black bean burgers end up crumbly or the outside gets hard and sticks in your teeth. This was perfect. Soft and not crumbly or gooey. The other issue with black bean burgers is that they tend to be seasoned (not a bad thing, just a thing). They often taste like something to make them taste less bean-y. These had no overwhelming flavor. Just a nice, delicious canvas. The bun was toasted just enough to keep it from getting soggy, but not enough to make it crunchy. The garlic aioli and sriracha were wonderful together. They came on the side so that I could apply the amount I wanted. The onions were crispy. There weren't a lot of mushrooms. I actually forgot that I had ordered them until I found one near the end of my burger but it was so delicious that I didn't care. Peachtree was a great experience. A beautiful restaurant with great service and excellent food. I will be back and not just for the Monday night burger deal.

Seriously out of fried chicken?????!!!!! I brought 8 people tonight because I love the flavor profile. 2 hours to get served .. Res at 7.45 .. Food at 9.45 and cold. Taste was good but 2 hours and no fried chicken. A real shame because the chef absolutely knows how to cook. Hard to come back even though I like it. Not a good experience.. Until they took off the main course ... The owner understands some nights don't work and he made up for it!!! Smart guy .. We will be back and again he can really cook! Jacob an awesome server by the way!!! Back again and so far the service and food are superb

Strange service, good food. Reserved a table through opentable.com and asked for seating in the bar area. Arrived and did not get seated in the bar area. Ok, no big deal, bar area is small. Tried to order appetizers before ordering our dinner and was told it is easier on the kitchen if we order it all at once. I don't usually experience that, but ok, no big deal, order it all at once. It comes out at record speed in quick succession, and plates are cleared before my fork hits the surface. The food was good, not great. The dining room on the main floor is too cramped with tables. I had to keep my elbows close to my body at all times. I really want this place to succeed and maybe it will, but it needs some tweeking. The tables offer no coasters or anything to set your silverware on besides the bare table itself. Try resting your silver on the bread plate and you get both snapped up in record speed. The cocktail I had was lovely and would have had more but felt rushed. Will probably not go back.

Ordered Catfish tots...just a little under cooked. The smoked chicken was delicious. The greens were too sweet. Very nice atmosphere. Our waitress was new she did an awesome job.

I really wanted to try this place. I walked in and saw plenty of free seating but the waitress looked me up and Down and said "wellll..... we only take reservations" My friend and I were in casual attire for a girls night out. She was a loyal customer and said she never had this happen before. Needless to say we will be finding a better southern restaurant. I'm sorry our pockets didn't look to be lined with enough gold for your snobby restaurant.

We have driven passed Peachtree Southern Kitchen and often thought about stopping to eat. I'm glad we finally did! Everything from the drinks to the main course was amazing. Even our server, Jacob, was awesome! We will definitely be back!!!

Complete dinner fail. - online menu is not up to date. Despite my afternoon call to confirm that the menu posted on their website was current, this was not the case. As a vegetarian, my options here are limited to begin with. The vegetarian dish on the actual menu did not appeal to me. - waitstaff not well versed on the menu. - again- very few vegetarian options. Meat and meat juices lurking in most dishes, even those that one could reasonably expect to be vegetarian. They should take a cue from other area restaurants and label truly vegetarian items as such: with an * or v. -sent fried green tomatoes back- way too greasy. Breading to tomato ratio was out of whack. Fried spinach & oil featured more prominently than said tomatoes. - in summary: fail

There hasn't been this much failure for a Southern experiment in the North since Pickett decided to slaughter those slave-owning imbeciles from the Confederacy on Cemetery Ridge.

We were looking at the menu at Peachtree the other day when another couple told us it was great, but knowing it had bad reviews. Having eaten there tonight, we know the problem -- the customers. Apparently they confuse Cajun cooking with Southern cooking. Just as most confuse Spanish cooking with Mexican cooking. This is not a Cajun restaurant. It is more akin to southern low country cooking. And we were delighted. We have a home in Savannah. We eat in Savannah, and this was as good as Savannah has to offer. We did an assortment of appetizers and sides. The fried green tomatoes with bacon jam -- awesome. The sweet potatoes -- excellent. The collards -- great. The shrimp and cheesy grits -- super (maybe a little salty). We'll definitely be going back -- because its like home.
After seeing the not-so-great reviews, my friend and I decided we were feeling adventurous and would give it a try anyhow. I can only guess that they've made some adjustments in the last couple of months because both the food and the service were fantastic. We shared a number of bites (catfish tots), firsts (fried green tomatoes, southern ham sampler, shrimp and grits), my friend ordered the soft shell crab sandwich, and I had the corn souffle skillet. Everything was well-seasoned and perfectly cooked (including the shrimp), and the portions were appropriate for the price and richness of the different dishes. I think I could live on their catfish tots and shrimp and grits. The only item that approached "bland" was the souffle, but a.) it's a souffle, it's supposed to be light with a more delicate flavor, and b.) it was alongside some stronger flavors. Only one small snag with the meal (overtoasted top sandwich bun) and it was taken care of immediately and apologetically. No harm, no foul. Our server was Chrissy (I hope that's right), and she was wonderful - very friendly and helpful. Yes, Peachtree is on the expensive side, but it's very much in line with the other finer-dining restaurants that are within walking distance of the square in Hudson and First and Main. I'll definitely be back.

$9 for the pimento grilled cheese and fries felt a little overpriced, but the taste was good and the waitstaff was very friendly and competent.

Was here about a week ago and I thought the food was great! My mind is blown on why there are so many bad reviews. Waiter was very knowledgable of bourbon and I thought the ambiance upstairs was great. I had the coulotte steak with the BBQ steak sauce and I thought it was excellent. Presentation was great too! I've only been here once, but I think this is 1000xs better than Old Whedon or however the hell you spell it. Will def be going back!

We came here for my friend's birthday because we wanted to try something different. The Moscow Mule was delicious and acted a great indication of the wonderful to meal come. We had cracklings and green tomatoes to start, and the complimentary cornbread was fantastic. I had the roasted airline chicken and could not get enough of the yellow squash with mint! Our meal was topped off nicely with warm beignets. I must also say kudos to our wonderful server Gretchen. Her recommendations were spot on, and she displayed the perfect amount of attentiveness that I really appreciate when I dine out.

This is the first time I've actually sat down and read all of the reviews, while clearly my experience was more favorable compared to others I can see why the majority of locals would be disappointed. This place is expensive but let's not forget where you're dinning at; it's Hudson- EVERYTHING in Hudson is over priced!!! I felt Peachtrees prices just came with the territory. I ordered their White Pimento Cheese ; for this being something out of my comfort zone I have to say it was fresh & the homemade chips were delicious by themselves. But paired together was also smile worthy & the price vs/ portion was dead on. As for not being the stereotypical Southern quinine everyone was craving, well that's one of the reasons I like this place. If you're craving "traditional" clog your arteries, gravy looks like puke southern cooking then go to Mike's Place in Kent or even Bob Evans. But you shouldn't put this place down because it has class and the chef incorporates their own (healthier) twist on food. I'll admit, my meal wasn't the orgasmic experience I had anticipated but it wasn't horrible either. My husband ordered the caramelized scallops & said they are ten times better than Virtues (the Akron General Hosp. restaurant)! He also enjoyed their shrimp & grits. I found the skillet mac with bacon jelly to be kind of bland ( I got mine without the kale which is prob why) but once you stirred in the bacon jelly it was awesome! It even tasted great when I used my left over chips to scoop it up, the smokiness just added to it. However, I have to disagree with the comments about the service. The hostess was so polite and jolly. Our actual server, Stiles; was perfectly attentive and had a good sense of humor- as I responded with "How about a foot rub" when asked if we needed anything else. And the entire staff behind the bar all wished us a good evening as we left. The atmosphere itself is stunning (wish I couldn't seen upstairs), clean, sophisticated and intimate. You can't go wrong with the original woodwork of the bar. As for the music, it's always going to be personal choice vs. the owners play list. When it comes to music, I'm bi-polar; I can rock out to Eminem one minute & Janis Joplin the next...so the acoustic versions of the Beatles & Eric Clapton was much appreciated (at least by me).

We recently gave Peace Tree another try, this time for lunch, and were happy to see some positive changes. I'd been to the bar a few times between the first review and this update, and was pleased with the service and drinks, though less so with the appetizers. This most recent visit, however, my family had a very pleasant experience. Our server was friendly and helpful, the food was great, and the manager popped by to check in on us at the end of our meal. I had the bone-in fried chicken, which was added to the menu about six months after they opened. The meat was juicy and full of flavor from the brine (perhaps a little too sweet, though) with a good crisp fry. The dish was served with sweet potato waffles, which were overpowering when combined with the maple syrup. One waffle was enough, and I would order the sauce on side next time around. We also had calamari with banana peppers, which was excellent.

Review of Peachtree Southern Kitchen, Hudson An attentive staff could not redeem this establishments uninspiring, overpriced menu or it's feeble attempt to replicate a "Southern Cuisine". We endured $9 watery baked macaroni with microscopic bits of Tasso ham, $6 bowls of a "gumbo special" which although containing plenty of vegetables, was bland & unseasoned, and $15 "Southern" Cobb Salad soaked in a bland oil of some sort, (did I say bland again)? There was also a small $24 short beef rib dinner that our dining partner said was OK. These items were actually some of the less expensive on the menu. I don't mind paying for quality, but this was a far cry from quality and an indistinguishable facsimile of "Southern Cuisine". If you want the real deal and you not worried about paying for it try Russo's on State Rd.
Expensive $$$$ menu portions are very small food was #not good. I had the chicken with sweet potatoes : tasted like frozen chicken for sure. Decor was # trying to hard to be cool circa 1995 ...service was strangely Zombie like. this place will close as fast as it opened. Old whedons was better, which is not saying much. #Big Zero

Went here with my parents, who are sometimes hard to please when it comes to finding something they are comfortable eating. The menu is large enough where one should be able to find something they like. The chicken and sweet potato waffles were great. There are daily specials, which we took advantage of including a family style dinner that included sides and salads. Our server was fantastic, very attentive and kind. This would be a great place for happy hour and even family events. Definitely will be returning!

At first skeptical of the this restaurant because of some pretty terrible reviews. The location is great, the building looks cute, and it's a dining room with some personality, so you'd figure the food and service should match. Now, for me on my first visit it did match. Our server was fantastic, never went hungry or thirsty, and she was amazing with coming back as we needed time to research the menu. Ahh, researching the menu...it's big. 14 starters, 13 entrees and 7 burgers. A bit much to take in. Kinda like cable TV, having 57 channels and nothing's on. There's 20 possible dinner options and none jumped out at us. The bar's mixed drinks were good, very strong. So good we doubled down on our order. We went with the server recommendation of the Catfish Tots - House Pickled Peppers / Remoulade. They were awesome. Really loved them. Great suggestion. Next up were the Carolina Crab Cakes - Red Beans and Rice / Remoulade, and the Chicken & Waffles - Sweet Potato Waffles / Chicken Tenders / Ohio Maple Syrup. Both were very good dishes. Only odd thing we noticed was the chef delivering dishes to the table, not in uniform, but in an Indians t-shirt.

We went on fried chicken Wednesday where the deal is a salad, 3 pieces of scratch made fried chicken, hush puppies, and a large side for $22. And if more than one in your group orders it they serve it family style. Make sure you plan in a bit of extra time if you order the fried chicken since they make it from scratch and only make it when you order it, it does take a little longer than the normal turnaround time. And I totally recommend the cheesy grits, they were the best I've had in a while.

Great lunch beginning with well-done corncakes and sweet tea and ending with excellent pulled chicken Caesar and Cobb salads. Service on the quaint patio was superb. Enough to bring home for a second helping at dinner. We've also been for brunch and thoroughly enjoyed the food - creative but not too "out there".

Good service and nice locale. Food was really inconsistent. Desserts we're excellent but rest was more bland. Bisque and greens were good but others like chicken was only ok. Mashed potAtoes bland. Good drink menu. Portions were small in some cases. Catfish bites am example of that but white pimento in a jar great bargain.

I came here about a month ago with my boyfriend. We sat at the bar, were given a menu, and ignored for about 5-8 minutes. The bartender didn't even say one word to us. I waited patiently, since I am a bartender myself. Then a party of 5 or so walked in the door, came up to the bar, and the bartender walked right up to them and asked if they wanted drinks. So we got up and left.. Won't be returning anytime soon. Horrible service

Went with my wife and a friend for lunch. It was OK. The food ideas were good, but everything was just OK. It all needed a little more spice, a little more flavor, it just wasn't anything to get excited about. The service was excellent, but this is not a place for a quick bite, it was slow paced.

We were so so excited that a new restaurant option was going into Hudson, and when we heard it was going to be Southern Cooking we could hardly wait for it to open. And then it did. And we went. And we were soooooo disappointed. There wasn't much traditional southern food on the menu. It was hard to pick what to order because it just wasn't what we had in mind when we had our hearts set on "traditional" southern food. What bummed us out even more were the prices. So expensive! Why can't someone in Hudson open a decent restaurant that is a mid-price range instead of trying to be One Red Door/Rosewood Grill/Downtown 140 wannabes? This area is desperate for good food at a lower price point. We thought a good southern cooking place was going to deliver on this. We were let down. Then the food came. It was OK. I wasn't all "wow! Now I get it" over the food. Service was OK. But if you insist on being a high end restaurant then your service should match. Hudson is known for its great restaurants. You can't just open something up, charge a lot, and expect to be successful. If you are the owner/manager reading this, please reconsider your menu and price point. It's a great idea in theory and something completely different, which Hudson deparately needs. I promise you, if you do this, your place will be packed. There's and amazing New Orleans style restaurant in Denver called Lucille's. They are only open for breakfast and lunch. People will wait for hours with a line stretching down the street waiting to get in because the grits, biscuits and gravy, egg mash ups, beignets, fresh squeezed OJ etc are OFF the HOOK! The restaurant is nothing too fancy inside and it isn't excessively expensive to go. But it is top on our list of places to eat at whenever we visit Denver. Point is, it can be done.

Very small portions for too much money. No side dishes come with the sandwiches. We were so excited about Southern comfort food locally, but they tried to make this too fancy and failed in the process. Will not be going back.

The atmosphere reminded me of some of the restaurants I've dined at in Charleston SC. A+ for the feel. Music was great. They played a lot of doo-wop and it fit perfectly. The mint juleps were awesome. Maybe a little too good. Food overall was great. They ran out of fried green tomatoes so we went with the beef brisket nachos instead. The shrimp and grits were fantastic so I'm not sure why it was getting some negative reviews. Maybe they just had a bad night? Regardless will definitely go back. The outdoor patio is an added plus.

Had a nice meal at Peachtree, excellent service and good food. Started with chicken cracklings, the honey hot sauce combo was very good. Had the pork tenderloin for dinner, it was well prepared but missing a sauce or something to elevate it to the next level. I really like the peach/ pork combo but it fell a little short. The amazing redemption was the pecan pie. I am a dessert person and this definitely exceeded my expectations. Nice variety of cocktail and wine options, would definitely return again.

Had a disappointing dinner here last night. The atmosphere is nice, but the value just isn't there for the price. The service was mediocre; my wife had to wait 10 min for her first glass of wine, the waiter spilled sauce from the appetizer on the table and failed to clean it up. As for the food, up and down. The catfish tots appetizer was delicious but scant on portions. The shrimp and grits lacked zest. The Potato Sage Gnocchi was fantastic. Overall I would not recommend with so many other excellent choices nearby.

We had a wonderful time at Peachtree. We don't venture out to Hudson often but we are glad we did for this dinner. We went on a recent Friday night and although busy it wasn't packed. We had reservations for our group of 6 & a couple arrived 15mins early and they were promptly seated. They have a nice cocktail menu & decent beer list. Everyone seemed pleased with their cocktails. Our server was wonderful; attentive, funny, knowledgeable on the menu & was able to make recommendations when asked. My husband & I ordered the fried green tomatoes & the pimento cheese to start. The tomatoes were good, thick cut & fresh. I would have liked a mustard type sauce for dipping but the addition of spinach & peanuts on top was tasty & new to me. The pimento cheese was spicy, the house made BBQ chips were mind blowing. I prefer my pimento cheese to be creamer but all in all I'd certainly order it again! I got the fried chicken as the entree. 3 perfectly cooked bone in (leg, thigh & breast) the breading was crispy & not greasy at all. I Loved the onion mashed potatoes! Seasoned just right. My husband ordered the special, country fried steak, & the small taste he allowed me to have was very good. He was pleased as well. No one in our group was particularly awed by the desserts however. All in all we were very pleased with our dinner & we will be back again.

admittedly I was thinking a bit more about Cajun than Southern when I walked in. I quickly recalibrated and set expectations for a more subdued food. Even with this, I have to say the foods were very bland. The chicken soup was very uninspiring. My hopes were high for the bacon wrapped chicken but the bacon didnt appear to be precooked in anyway before wrapping the chicken which may have been why it melded into it and was rather limp? I was happy to see the bar stayed in tact as this was always a favorite part of the old place.

I work in Hudson and like to come here after work for dinner or appetizers. The staff is attentive and the drinks are good. If you aren't willing to pay for a big entree, just get the she crab soup and the chicken wings apps. Nobody will look down their nose at you for getting small plates. The chicken wings are smoked and to die for. I have also had the scallops which were amazingly cooked (yes, there were like four scallops on the plate and it was expensive, but this is nice restaurant not one where quantity trumps quality--and the scallops were huge). The beans surrounding the scallops were almost the best part, I have never had beans that tasted so good! Another time I went there I had the mac and cheese with blackened chicken and tomato jam. Everything was cooked perfectly and the chicken and jam balanced out the mac and cheese with savory and sweet flavors. I couldn't finish that entree. I've had their cocktails which are good and they do have a pretty decent beer list. In short, this is a nice establishment and if you want cheap greasy food go somewhere else. For fans of low country cooking a la chef Sean Brock but in Ohio, I would go here for sure. They also do a special night with entrees paired with bourbon which I need to try sometime...but I do need to drive home after so I haven't done it yet. I've taken a friend here for food and she had gnocchi which she loved, and my boyfriend here for our anniversary and it is definitely a nice atmosphere. They also play classic rock music but not too loudly...and it's nice to just sit at the bar and talk to the friendly bartender after work. It's a unique addition to Northeast Ohio and you should try it!

Love this place...we come here all the time for lunch. Their cocktails are great and they have a good selection of wine and beer. In addition, the service is always nice. They have cornbread to start (delicious!) and each meal is so different that anything you could get nearby. The fried green tomatoes and mac and cheese are good to start.... Pulled pork and catfish are great entrees.

I've eaten at every restaurant in Hudson, and without a doubt, this one has cast itself as something it truly is not -- southern. C'mon. We're in Northeast Ohio for Christ's sake. Know your audience, and please, pick one thing that is demographically appropriate, and do it well. After enjoying fine beverages in a copper mug -- how ironic -- biscuits arrived on a curved skateboard, accompanied by a dollop of butter served in a glass candle holder base one might find on sale in Bed Bath & Beyond. (It's butter. Stop it. Right now.) I picked up the biscuit reluctantly, because frankly, nothing is less appealing than a biscuit with a top and bottom as dark as molasses. (Who flips a biscuit, anyway?) Failing miserably to break it apart with my fingers, I broke out the knife, split it and shoved some butter in the middle. Then, with even more reluctance, I tried a bite. Honestly, that might have been one of the worst things I've ever put in my mouth. I could have framed a house with ten penny nails using that hockey puck of a biscuit as my hammer. Thank God for my tasty beverage. Round two came, and shortly after three pork sliders with pickles. I was skeptical at best at this point. The sliders reeked of cheap BBQ sauce like a 20-something BF does of stripper lotion on Saturday morning at 3am. Soon after, what I assumed to be the GM emerged to introduce himself, and asked how we enjoying the roasted pork sliders. SMH. Season and BRAISE YOUR PORK in something that tastes like ... something. Then dress it in something other than store bought bbq sauce. Try making your own. It's cheaper than store-bought. Please? Oh, and King Hawaiian buns are a good alternative to whatever that was trying to disguise the clearly raped and abused pork shoulder. Close now, before losing any more money, and go back to the drawing board. Walk around Hudson and ask people what they want. Hell, hang out in Heinin's and talk to the women WITH MONEY. They may tell you what turns them on, because burnt biscuits sure as hell don't.

Went to brunch today and thought the good was very mediocre. Had grits and shrimp. The shrimp were baby shrimp over mushy grits. Very tasteless nothing served with the dish. I would not go back. Very expensive for what you get. The menu is very small.

Peachtree was pretty disappointing. We went there expecting Southern food, as advertised, but it turned out to be another one of those "foodie" places where the chef is trying to impress with appearance, trendiness, and high prices instead of genuinely good food. There wasn't a real down home Southern dish to be had: no bone-in fried chicken, no catfish, no ribs, no grits, and not much seasoning on anything. We were looking for a place to please the palates of those who love real Southern food. Cornbread was pretty good, but no refills after one small piece. A very limited dessert menu -- and the South is famous for its desserts. The service was good, atmosphere nice but with weird music (Rockabilly?) and the check for two of us was over $100.

Some of the complaints in the poor reviews for this place seem to be based on small portion sizes and high prices. After enjoying a GREAT meal here, I think those poor reviews are very unfair. The portion sizes are appropriate and reasonable. My wife and I shared an appetizer (chicken liver pate with crostini and house-made pickles) we each had an entree (sweet pea gnocchi with garden vegetables ; fried snapper with crawfish grits and green tomato relish) and shared a dessert (pecan pie) and we were both very full. The waiter recommended a side of the braised collards with bacon- really great suggestion, I could have eaten a whole plate of them. The prices are higher than most, but they are completely fair based on the quality of the service and food, which were excellent. I will be back, for sure. The bar selection is excellent too. If you go, try one of the old fashioned southern cocktails. My wife tried a sloe gin fizz which was beautifully made.

Was so excited to see this new restaurant in Hudson. We went a month after it opened and were so disappointed. The service was horrible. We sat for over 15 minutes with no one even coming by to say hello, bring water, etc. THroughout the meal this never changed, and we had to ask for utensils, salt, etc. The food was disappointing. Tepid, bland, small portions, and not at all southern in flavor/style. We tried shrimp and grits (shrimp was small and chewy, grits flavorless) pork, (small and served tepid at best) and the fried chicken salad (absolutely no flavor in the dressing). The so-called "beignets" are more like dunkin donuts. Overpriced, poor service, bland food. Interior decor is lovely. I hope they will quickly re-staff and re-chef this place. "Hudsonites" are used to better....especially at this price point!

We were a party of three with a one year old for dinner last evening. We had a difficult time choosing from the really appealing choices on the menu, and ended up ordering more than we could finish. The menu is southern inspired, but don't expect a slab of ribs, this isn't Applebee's. We loved everything, including the delicious cocktails. The ham sampler starter was yummy and quite generously portioned. The white cheese pimento jar was delish. The pork chop dinner was our favorite, although the bacon wrapped chicken breast with chestnut dressing and the cassoulet were also really good. The staff was extremely accommodating, especially given our little mess-making one year old dinner companion, who really enjoyed the creamy mac cheese. We were fairly regular customers of Old Whedon Grille, which was the previous restaurant in this location. Peachtree is a huge improvement and is several culinary steps up from the former establishment, with the commensurate difference in prices. Perhaps that is why some former reviewers have complained about the prices and portions. We found our dinner and experience to be well worth the price and are looking forward to being regular diners at Peachtree.

I've strolled past Peachtree many times and once they had a chalkboard outside announcing their daily special of macaroni and cheese with kale and breadcrumbs. I am not a mac and cheese person but that day it sounded delicious and the three days following, I could not stop thinking about that mac and cheese. I finally made it to Peachtree last night, not for the mac and cheese-that craving has passed, but for the five dollar build-your-own burgers on Monday nights. It was a Monday night so there were not a ton of guests there but more than I expected to see. The restaurant is in a historic home on Main Street in Hudson. They have fixed it up really nicely. The decor is simple but elegant. There also seems to be quite a lot of seating for being in a complicated space. Our server was Alex. He was also the host and the bartender. Staff was a bit thin being Monday night but we got all of the kindness, attention, and friendliness we could ask for and not a bit more than we wanted. Alex was fantastic. He made sure that our drinks stayed topped off and we were updated on the status of our food. He took a few minutes to have a conversation when we had questions even though he had pleanty of other tasks at hand. The build-a-burger deal is pretty cool. Your burger starts at 5.00. There are extra charges for some items. I got a veggie burger instead of beef and it was a dollar more. My husband got the sirloin burger with onions, mushrooms, garlic aioli, feta cheese, and ketchup. I got the veggie burger with onions, mushrooms, garlic aioli, and sriracha. We also got an order of fries to split. I was really impressed. After reading yelp reviews I didn't have the highest expectations for Peachtree but gosh--the fries were the picture of perfection and my burger was just fantastic. The fries were cut very thin and cooked just perfectly. The most incredible balance of perfect and soft, sprinkled with flakey sea salt and rosemary. My husband kept trying to offer me some sauce to dip it in and I told him not to dip perfection. My burger was also impressive. It was a black bean base with corn and brown rice (I think?). Sometimes black bean burgers end up crumbly or the outside gets hard and sticks in your teeth. This was perfect. Soft and not crumbly or gooey. The other issue with black bean burgers is that they tend to be seasoned (not a bad thing, just a thing). They often taste like something to make them taste less bean-y. These had no overwhelming flavor. Just a nice, delicious canvas. The bun was toasted just enough to keep it from getting soggy, but not enough to make it crunchy. The garlic aioli and sriracha were wonderful together. They came on the side so that I could apply the amount I wanted. The onions were crispy. There weren't a lot of mushrooms. I actually forgot that I had ordered them until I found one near the end of my burger but it was so delicious that I didn't care. Peachtree was a great experience. A beautiful restaurant with great service and excellent food. I will be back and not just for the Monday night burger deal.

Seriously out of fried chicken?????!!!!! I brought 8 people tonight because I love the flavor profile. 2 hours to get served .. Res at 7.45 .. Food at 9.45 and cold. Taste was good but 2 hours and no fried chicken. A real shame because the chef absolutely knows how to cook. Hard to come back even though I like it. Not a good experience.. Until they took off the main course ... The owner understands some nights don't work and he made up for it!!! Smart guy .. We will be back and again he can really cook! Jacob an awesome server by the way!!! Back again and so far the service and food are superb

Strange service, good food. Reserved a table through opentable.com and asked for seating in the bar area. Arrived and did not get seated in the bar area. Ok, no big deal, bar area is small. Tried to order appetizers before ordering our dinner and was told it is easier on the kitchen if we order it all at once. I don't usually experience that, but ok, no big deal, order it all at once. It comes out at record speed in quick succession, and plates are cleared before my fork hits the surface. The food was good, not great. The dining room on the main floor is too cramped with tables. I had to keep my elbows close to my body at all times. I really want this place to succeed and maybe it will, but it needs some tweeking. The tables offer no coasters or anything to set your silverware on besides the bare table itself. Try resting your silver on the bread plate and you get both snapped up in record speed. The cocktail I had was lovely and would have had more but felt rushed. Will probably not go back.

Ordered Catfish tots...just a little under cooked. The smoked chicken was delicious. The greens were too sweet. Very nice atmosphere. Our waitress was new she did an awesome job.
(3)Samie S.
I really wanted to try this place. I walked in and saw plenty of free seating but the waitress looked me up and Down and said "wellll..... we only take reservations" My friend and I were in casual attire for a girls night out. She was a loyal customer and said she never had this happen before. Needless to say we will be finding a better southern restaurant. I'm sorry our pockets didn't look to be lined with enough gold for your snobby restaurant.

We have driven passed Peachtree Southern Kitchen and often thought about stopping to eat. I'm glad we finally did! Everything from the drinks to the main course was amazing. Even our server, Jacob, was awesome! We will definitely be back!!!

Complete dinner fail. - online menu is not up to date. Despite my afternoon call to confirm that the menu posted on their website was current, this was not the case. As a vegetarian, my options here are limited to begin with. The vegetarian dish on the actual menu did not appeal to me. - waitstaff not well versed on the menu. - again- very few vegetarian options. Meat and meat juices lurking in most dishes, even those that one could reasonably expect to be vegetarian. They should take a cue from other area restaurants and label truly vegetarian items as such: with an * or v. -sent fried green tomatoes back- way too greasy. Breading to tomato ratio was out of whack. Fried spinach & oil featured more prominently than said tomatoes. - in summary: fail

There hasn't been this much failure for a Southern experiment in the North since Pickett decided to slaughter those slave-owning imbeciles from the Confederacy on Cemetery Ridge.

We were looking at the menu at Peachtree the other day when another couple told us it was great, but knowing it had bad reviews. Having eaten there tonight, we know the problem -- the customers. Apparently they confuse Cajun cooking with Southern cooking. Just as most confuse Spanish cooking with Mexican cooking. This is not a Cajun restaurant. It is more akin to southern low country cooking. And we were delighted. We have a home in Savannah. We eat in Savannah, and this was as good as Savannah has to offer. We did an assortment of appetizers and sides. The fried green tomatoes with bacon jam -- awesome. The sweet potatoes -- excellent. The collards -- great. The shrimp and cheesy grits -- super (maybe a little salty). We'll definitely be going back -- because its like home.
(4)Matt B.
This is a great restaurant with a fitting Feng shui that enveloped the southern theme and the extremely high quality of food. Every time I go there I have a great meal that begins with an interesting dish that is great leading to a wonderful entrée that takes my senses on a tantalizing hayride. Besides a few small issues this is one of my favorite restaurants that I make the hike to Hudson for.

After seeing the not-so-great reviews, my friend and I decided we were feeling adventurous and would give it a try anyhow. I can only guess that they've made some adjustments in the last couple of months because both the food and the service were fantastic. We shared a number of bites (catfish tots), firsts (fried green tomatoes, southern ham sampler, shrimp and grits), my friend ordered the soft shell crab sandwich, and I had the corn souffle skillet. Everything was well-seasoned and perfectly cooked (including the shrimp), and the portions were appropriate for the price and richness of the different dishes. I think I could live on their catfish tots and shrimp and grits. The only item that approached "bland" was the souffle, but a.) it's a souffle, it's supposed to be light with a more delicate flavor, and b.) it was alongside some stronger flavors. Only one small snag with the meal (overtoasted top sandwich bun) and it was taken care of immediately and apologetically. No harm, no foul. Our server was Chrissy (I hope that's right), and she was wonderful - very friendly and helpful. Yes, Peachtree is on the expensive side, but it's very much in line with the other finer-dining restaurants that are within walking distance of the square in Hudson and First and Main. I'll definitely be back.
(5)Foodie T.
$9 for the pimento grilled cheese and fries felt a little overpriced, but the taste was good and the waitstaff was very friendly and competent.
(4)Mike C.
Was here about a week ago and I thought the food was great! My mind is blown on why there are so many bad reviews. Waiter was very knowledgable of bourbon and I thought the ambiance upstairs was great. I had the coulotte steak with the BBQ steak sauce and I thought it was excellent. Presentation was great too! I've only been here once, but I think this is 1000xs better than Old Whedon or however the hell you spell it. Will def be going back!
(4)Julie H.
We came here for my friend's birthday because we wanted to try something different. The Moscow Mule was delicious and acted a great indication of the wonderful to meal come. We had cracklings and green tomatoes to start, and the complimentary cornbread was fantastic. I had the roasted airline chicken and could not get enough of the yellow squash with mint! Our meal was topped off nicely with warm beignets. I must also say kudos to our wonderful server Gretchen. Her recommendations were spot on, and she displayed the perfect amount of attentiveness that I really appreciate when I dine out.
(5)Eryion H.
This is the first time I've actually sat down and read all of the reviews, while clearly my experience was more favorable compared to others I can see why the majority of locals would be disappointed. This place is expensive but let's not forget where you're dinning at; it's Hudson- EVERYTHING in Hudson is over priced!!! I felt Peachtrees prices just came with the territory. I ordered their White Pimento Cheese ; for this being something out of my comfort zone I have to say it was fresh & the homemade chips were delicious by themselves. But paired together was also smile worthy & the price vs/ portion was dead on. As for not being the stereotypical Southern quinine everyone was craving, well that's one of the reasons I like this place. If you're craving "traditional" clog your arteries, gravy looks like puke southern cooking then go to Mike's Place in Kent or even Bob Evans. But you shouldn't put this place down because it has class and the chef incorporates their own (healthier) twist on food. I'll admit, my meal wasn't the orgasmic experience I had anticipated but it wasn't horrible either. My husband ordered the caramelized scallops & said they are ten times better than Virtues (the Akron General Hosp. restaurant)! He also enjoyed their shrimp & grits. I found the skillet mac with bacon jelly to be kind of bland ( I got mine without the kale which is prob why) but once you stirred in the bacon jelly it was awesome! It even tasted great when I used my left over chips to scoop it up, the smokiness just added to it. However, I have to disagree with the comments about the service. The hostess was so polite and jolly. Our actual server, Stiles; was perfectly attentive and had a good sense of humor- as I responded with "How about a foot rub" when asked if we needed anything else. And the entire staff behind the bar all wished us a good evening as we left. The atmosphere itself is stunning (wish I couldn't seen upstairs), clean, sophisticated and intimate. You can't go wrong with the original woodwork of the bar. As for the music, it's always going to be personal choice vs. the owners play list. When it comes to music, I'm bi-polar; I can rock out to Eminem one minute & Janis Joplin the next...so the acoustic versions of the Beatles & Eric Clapton was much appreciated (at least by me).

We recently gave Peace Tree another try, this time for lunch, and were happy to see some positive changes. I'd been to the bar a few times between the first review and this update, and was pleased with the service and drinks, though less so with the appetizers. This most recent visit, however, my family had a very pleasant experience. Our server was friendly and helpful, the food was great, and the manager popped by to check in on us at the end of our meal. I had the bone-in fried chicken, which was added to the menu about six months after they opened. The meat was juicy and full of flavor from the brine (perhaps a little too sweet, though) with a good crisp fry. The dish was served with sweet potato waffles, which were overpowering when combined with the maple syrup. One waffle was enough, and I would order the sauce on side next time around. We also had calamari with banana peppers, which was excellent.

Review of Peachtree Southern Kitchen, Hudson An attentive staff could not redeem this establishments uninspiring, overpriced menu or it's feeble attempt to replicate a "Southern Cuisine". We endured $9 watery baked macaroni with microscopic bits of Tasso ham, $6 bowls of a "gumbo special" which although containing plenty of vegetables, was bland & unseasoned, and $15 "Southern" Cobb Salad soaked in a bland oil of some sort, (did I say bland again)? There was also a small $24 short beef rib dinner that our dining partner said was OK. These items were actually some of the less expensive on the menu. I don't mind paying for quality, but this was a far cry from quality and an indistinguishable facsimile of "Southern Cuisine". If you want the real deal and you not worried about paying for it try Russo's on State Rd.
(1)Michael V.
A very small place. .. with very very very small and expensive items. Our bacon wrapped pork tenderloin took forever to arrive and was 4 half dollar sized pieces..one without bacon. The waitress was fine..but the overpriced small entrées is not worth it. Keep driving.
(2)Robbie R.
Expensive $$$$ menu portions are very small food was #not good. I had the chicken with sweet potatoes : tasted like frozen chicken for sure. Decor was # trying to hard to be cool circa 1995 ...service was strangely Zombie like. this place will close as fast as it opened. Old whedons was better, which is not saying much. #Big Zero
(2)Mike A.
Went here with my parents, who are sometimes hard to please when it comes to finding something they are comfortable eating. The menu is large enough where one should be able to find something they like. The chicken and sweet potato waffles were great. There are daily specials, which we took advantage of including a family style dinner that included sides and salads. Our server was fantastic, very attentive and kind. This would be a great place for happy hour and even family events. Definitely will be returning!
(4)Bobby Y.
At first skeptical of the this restaurant because of some pretty terrible reviews. The location is great, the building looks cute, and it's a dining room with some personality, so you'd figure the food and service should match. Now, for me on my first visit it did match. Our server was fantastic, never went hungry or thirsty, and she was amazing with coming back as we needed time to research the menu. Ahh, researching the menu...it's big. 14 starters, 13 entrees and 7 burgers. A bit much to take in. Kinda like cable TV, having 57 channels and nothing's on. There's 20 possible dinner options and none jumped out at us. The bar's mixed drinks were good, very strong. So good we doubled down on our order. We went with the server recommendation of the Catfish Tots - House Pickled Peppers / Remoulade. They were awesome. Really loved them. Great suggestion. Next up were the Carolina Crab Cakes - Red Beans and Rice / Remoulade, and the Chicken & Waffles - Sweet Potato Waffles / Chicken Tenders / Ohio Maple Syrup. Both were very good dishes. Only odd thing we noticed was the chef delivering dishes to the table, not in uniform, but in an Indians t-shirt.
(4)Lindsey S.
We went on fried chicken Wednesday where the deal is a salad, 3 pieces of scratch made fried chicken, hush puppies, and a large side for $22. And if more than one in your group orders it they serve it family style. Make sure you plan in a bit of extra time if you order the fried chicken since they make it from scratch and only make it when you order it, it does take a little longer than the normal turnaround time. And I totally recommend the cheesy grits, they were the best I've had in a while.
(4)Maureen S.
We are new to the area and tried Peachtree tonight. Everything was great! We had the brisket nacho appetizer- YUM, fried chicken, ribs, mac and cheese, and greens, all wonderful! Service was great too! We can't wait to go back!
(5)Mary S.
Great lunch beginning with well-done corncakes and sweet tea and ending with excellent pulled chicken Caesar and Cobb salads. Service on the quaint patio was superb. Enough to bring home for a second helping at dinner. We've also been for brunch and thoroughly enjoyed the food - creative but not too "out there".
(4)Carol U.
Outstanding food in the heart of Hudson. Chicken and waffles at Sunday brunch with a bloody mary. Great service too.
(5)Leslie H.
Good service and nice locale. Food was really inconsistent. Desserts we're excellent but rest was more bland. Bisque and greens were good but others like chicken was only ok. Mashed potAtoes bland. Good drink menu. Portions were small in some cases. Catfish bites am example of that but white pimento in a jar great bargain.
(3)Michelle H.
I came here about a month ago with my boyfriend. We sat at the bar, were given a menu, and ignored for about 5-8 minutes. The bartender didn't even say one word to us. I waited patiently, since I am a bartender myself. Then a party of 5 or so walked in the door, came up to the bar, and the bartender walked right up to them and asked if they wanted drinks. So we got up and left.. Won't be returning anytime soon. Horrible service
(1)Jonathan F.
Went with my wife and a friend for lunch. It was OK. The food ideas were good, but everything was just OK. It all needed a little more spice, a little more flavor, it just wasn't anything to get excited about. The service was excellent, but this is not a place for a quick bite, it was slow paced.
(2)Elwood B.
We were so so excited that a new restaurant option was going into Hudson, and when we heard it was going to be Southern Cooking we could hardly wait for it to open. And then it did. And we went. And we were soooooo disappointed. There wasn't much traditional southern food on the menu. It was hard to pick what to order because it just wasn't what we had in mind when we had our hearts set on "traditional" southern food. What bummed us out even more were the prices. So expensive! Why can't someone in Hudson open a decent restaurant that is a mid-price range instead of trying to be One Red Door/Rosewood Grill/Downtown 140 wannabes? This area is desperate for good food at a lower price point. We thought a good southern cooking place was going to deliver on this. We were let down. Then the food came. It was OK. I wasn't all "wow! Now I get it" over the food. Service was OK. But if you insist on being a high end restaurant then your service should match. Hudson is known for its great restaurants. You can't just open something up, charge a lot, and expect to be successful. If you are the owner/manager reading this, please reconsider your menu and price point. It's a great idea in theory and something completely different, which Hudson deparately needs. I promise you, if you do this, your place will be packed. There's and amazing New Orleans style restaurant in Denver called Lucille's. They are only open for breakfast and lunch. People will wait for hours with a line stretching down the street waiting to get in because the grits, biscuits and gravy, egg mash ups, beignets, fresh squeezed OJ etc are OFF the HOOK! The restaurant is nothing too fancy inside and it isn't excessively expensive to go. But it is top on our list of places to eat at whenever we visit Denver. Point is, it can be done.
(2)Courtney C.
Very small portions for too much money. No side dishes come with the sandwiches. We were so excited about Southern comfort food locally, but they tried to make this too fancy and failed in the process. Will not be going back.
(1)Matt S.
The atmosphere reminded me of some of the restaurants I've dined at in Charleston SC. A+ for the feel. Music was great. They played a lot of doo-wop and it fit perfectly. The mint juleps were awesome. Maybe a little too good. Food overall was great. They ran out of fried green tomatoes so we went with the beef brisket nachos instead. The shrimp and grits were fantastic so I'm not sure why it was getting some negative reviews. Maybe they just had a bad night? Regardless will definitely go back. The outdoor patio is an added plus.
(5)Sara K.
Had a nice meal at Peachtree, excellent service and good food. Started with chicken cracklings, the honey hot sauce combo was very good. Had the pork tenderloin for dinner, it was well prepared but missing a sauce or something to elevate it to the next level. I really like the peach/ pork combo but it fell a little short. The amazing redemption was the pecan pie. I am a dessert person and this definitely exceeded my expectations. Nice variety of cocktail and wine options, would definitely return again.
(4)Aaron N.
Had a disappointing dinner here last night. The atmosphere is nice, but the value just isn't there for the price. The service was mediocre; my wife had to wait 10 min for her first glass of wine, the waiter spilled sauce from the appetizer on the table and failed to clean it up. As for the food, up and down. The catfish tots appetizer was delicious but scant on portions. The shrimp and grits lacked zest. The Potato Sage Gnocchi was fantastic. Overall I would not recommend with so many other excellent choices nearby.
(2)Lenaia K.
We had a wonderful time at Peachtree. We don't venture out to Hudson often but we are glad we did for this dinner. We went on a recent Friday night and although busy it wasn't packed. We had reservations for our group of 6 & a couple arrived 15mins early and they were promptly seated. They have a nice cocktail menu & decent beer list. Everyone seemed pleased with their cocktails. Our server was wonderful; attentive, funny, knowledgeable on the menu & was able to make recommendations when asked. My husband & I ordered the fried green tomatoes & the pimento cheese to start. The tomatoes were good, thick cut & fresh. I would have liked a mustard type sauce for dipping but the addition of spinach & peanuts on top was tasty & new to me. The pimento cheese was spicy, the house made BBQ chips were mind blowing. I prefer my pimento cheese to be creamer but all in all I'd certainly order it again! I got the fried chicken as the entree. 3 perfectly cooked bone in (leg, thigh & breast) the breading was crispy & not greasy at all. I Loved the onion mashed potatoes! Seasoned just right. My husband ordered the special, country fried steak, & the small taste he allowed me to have was very good. He was pleased as well. No one in our group was particularly awed by the desserts however. All in all we were very pleased with our dinner & we will be back again.
(4)Dave l.
admittedly I was thinking a bit more about Cajun than Southern when I walked in. I quickly recalibrated and set expectations for a more subdued food. Even with this, I have to say the foods were very bland. The chicken soup was very uninspiring. My hopes were high for the bacon wrapped chicken but the bacon didnt appear to be precooked in anyway before wrapping the chicken which may have been why it melded into it and was rather limp? I was happy to see the bar stayed in tact as this was always a favorite part of the old place.
(1)Jamie B.
I work in Hudson and like to come here after work for dinner or appetizers. The staff is attentive and the drinks are good. If you aren't willing to pay for a big entree, just get the she crab soup and the chicken wings apps. Nobody will look down their nose at you for getting small plates. The chicken wings are smoked and to die for. I have also had the scallops which were amazingly cooked (yes, there were like four scallops on the plate and it was expensive, but this is nice restaurant not one where quantity trumps quality--and the scallops were huge). The beans surrounding the scallops were almost the best part, I have never had beans that tasted so good! Another time I went there I had the mac and cheese with blackened chicken and tomato jam. Everything was cooked perfectly and the chicken and jam balanced out the mac and cheese with savory and sweet flavors. I couldn't finish that entree. I've had their cocktails which are good and they do have a pretty decent beer list. In short, this is a nice establishment and if you want cheap greasy food go somewhere else. For fans of low country cooking a la chef Sean Brock but in Ohio, I would go here for sure. They also do a special night with entrees paired with bourbon which I need to try sometime...but I do need to drive home after so I haven't done it yet. I've taken a friend here for food and she had gnocchi which she loved, and my boyfriend here for our anniversary and it is definitely a nice atmosphere. They also play classic rock music but not too loudly...and it's nice to just sit at the bar and talk to the friendly bartender after work. It's a unique addition to Northeast Ohio and you should try it!
(5)Laura R.
Love this place...we come here all the time for lunch. Their cocktails are great and they have a good selection of wine and beer. In addition, the service is always nice. They have cornbread to start (delicious!) and each meal is so different that anything you could get nearby. The fried green tomatoes and mac and cheese are good to start.... Pulled pork and catfish are great entrees.
(5)Andrew D.
I've eaten at every restaurant in Hudson, and without a doubt, this one has cast itself as something it truly is not -- southern. C'mon. We're in Northeast Ohio for Christ's sake. Know your audience, and please, pick one thing that is demographically appropriate, and do it well. After enjoying fine beverages in a copper mug -- how ironic -- biscuits arrived on a curved skateboard, accompanied by a dollop of butter served in a glass candle holder base one might find on sale in Bed Bath & Beyond. (It's butter. Stop it. Right now.) I picked up the biscuit reluctantly, because frankly, nothing is less appealing than a biscuit with a top and bottom as dark as molasses. (Who flips a biscuit, anyway?) Failing miserably to break it apart with my fingers, I broke out the knife, split it and shoved some butter in the middle. Then, with even more reluctance, I tried a bite. Honestly, that might have been one of the worst things I've ever put in my mouth. I could have framed a house with ten penny nails using that hockey puck of a biscuit as my hammer. Thank God for my tasty beverage. Round two came, and shortly after three pork sliders with pickles. I was skeptical at best at this point. The sliders reeked of cheap BBQ sauce like a 20-something BF does of stripper lotion on Saturday morning at 3am. Soon after, what I assumed to be the GM emerged to introduce himself, and asked how we enjoying the roasted pork sliders. SMH. Season and BRAISE YOUR PORK in something that tastes like ... something. Then dress it in something other than store bought bbq sauce. Try making your own. It's cheaper than store-bought. Please? Oh, and King Hawaiian buns are a good alternative to whatever that was trying to disguise the clearly raped and abused pork shoulder. Close now, before losing any more money, and go back to the drawing board. Walk around Hudson and ask people what they want. Hell, hang out in Heinin's and talk to the women WITH MONEY. They may tell you what turns them on, because burnt biscuits sure as hell don't.
(1)Michelle M.
Went to brunch today and thought the good was very mediocre. Had grits and shrimp. The shrimp were baby shrimp over mushy grits. Very tasteless nothing served with the dish. I would not go back. Very expensive for what you get. The menu is very small.
(1)Beth S.
Peachtree was pretty disappointing. We went there expecting Southern food, as advertised, but it turned out to be another one of those "foodie" places where the chef is trying to impress with appearance, trendiness, and high prices instead of genuinely good food. There wasn't a real down home Southern dish to be had: no bone-in fried chicken, no catfish, no ribs, no grits, and not much seasoning on anything. We were looking for a place to please the palates of those who love real Southern food. Cornbread was pretty good, but no refills after one small piece. A very limited dessert menu -- and the South is famous for its desserts. The service was good, atmosphere nice but with weird music (Rockabilly?) and the check for two of us was over $100.
(2)Jon P.
Some of the complaints in the poor reviews for this place seem to be based on small portion sizes and high prices. After enjoying a GREAT meal here, I think those poor reviews are very unfair. The portion sizes are appropriate and reasonable. My wife and I shared an appetizer (chicken liver pate with crostini and house-made pickles) we each had an entree (sweet pea gnocchi with garden vegetables ; fried snapper with crawfish grits and green tomato relish) and shared a dessert (pecan pie) and we were both very full. The waiter recommended a side of the braised collards with bacon- really great suggestion, I could have eaten a whole plate of them. The prices are higher than most, but they are completely fair based on the quality of the service and food, which were excellent. I will be back, for sure. The bar selection is excellent too. If you go, try one of the old fashioned southern cocktails. My wife tried a sloe gin fizz which was beautifully made.
(5)M K.
Was so excited to see this new restaurant in Hudson. We went a month after it opened and were so disappointed. The service was horrible. We sat for over 15 minutes with no one even coming by to say hello, bring water, etc. THroughout the meal this never changed, and we had to ask for utensils, salt, etc. The food was disappointing. Tepid, bland, small portions, and not at all southern in flavor/style. We tried shrimp and grits (shrimp was small and chewy, grits flavorless) pork, (small and served tepid at best) and the fried chicken salad (absolutely no flavor in the dressing). The so-called "beignets" are more like dunkin donuts. Overpriced, poor service, bland food. Interior decor is lovely. I hope they will quickly re-staff and re-chef this place. "Hudsonites" are used to better....especially at this price point!
(1)A. S.
Went for the first time last night! Tiny portions, very expensive. Guy pouring water accidentally poured water in my vodka soda. Served a half bowl of soup without any bread or crackers, had to ask for them. Won't be back.
(1)Laurie J.
We were a party of three with a one year old for dinner last evening. We had a difficult time choosing from the really appealing choices on the menu, and ended up ordering more than we could finish. The menu is southern inspired, but don't expect a slab of ribs, this isn't Applebee's. We loved everything, including the delicious cocktails. The ham sampler starter was yummy and quite generously portioned. The white cheese pimento jar was delish. The pork chop dinner was our favorite, although the bacon wrapped chicken breast with chestnut dressing and the cassoulet were also really good. The staff was extremely accommodating, especially given our little mess-making one year old dinner companion, who really enjoyed the creamy mac cheese. We were fairly regular customers of Old Whedon Grille, which was the previous restaurant in this location. Peachtree is a huge improvement and is several culinary steps up from the former establishment, with the commensurate difference in prices. Perhaps that is why some former reviewers have complained about the prices and portions. We found our dinner and experience to be well worth the price and are looking forward to being regular diners at Peachtree.
