Went to Pier 500 on 12/12/25 for the first time with a couple of friends to celebrate my friends (& my) birthday. We were supposed to be in one of their igloos but it was too cold, so we were inside instead but that was OK. The inside is very nice. Kinda rustic meets industrial elegance if that makes sense. We had EXCELLENT service and the food was SO good. We had the apple & goat cheese flatbread which was very good. My friend had the Walleye dinner, I had the Pork Chop dinner & our other friend had the Grilled Meatloaf dinner. All 3 of us enjoyed our meals immensely. Zero complaints. My Porkk Chop was so big I had a whole nother meal as left overs. If you want a fantastic, high end restaurant to go to, I would recommend Pier 500. They are also across the street from a park & all of the trees were wrapped with beautiful colored christmas lights. We took pictures from the car because it was so cold, but if you get the chance this holiday season, check out the lights across the street as well and walk through the park. I don't think you will be disappointed.

The Pier 500 will forever be one of our favorite places—it’s where my husband and I had our very first date, and clearly they did something right because we never stopped coming back. Every visit feels a little nostalgic and a lot delicious. The food is always on point, the cocktails are absolutely swoon-worthy, and the wood-fired grilled chicken is hands down the best around (we rave about it every time). Amazing vibes, amazing flavors, and a place that will always have our hearts. Highly recommend for date nights, celebrations, or just because.

I’m visiting Hudson for work and always seek out the best restaurants. I had a hard time deciding on 3 different entrees that sounded amazing, even the bartender told me I gave him 3 very hard choices. I chose the Salmon and it was amazing, my biggest Rave is it came out HOT, no chance it sat in a window for anytime at all. Cole was the most talented bartender I have seen in a long time, that man can sling some drinks! The other bartender was very attentive as well. Great experience, I hope next time I can check out the little outdoor bungalows on the patio. Very cute! 😊
