There isn't a better outdoor seating area in Hudson. The outdoor bar is always hopping during the summer. The food and drinks are good but it's the atmosphere that makes Pier 500 stand out.

Eager to welcome the spring after a loooong winter here in northwestern Wisconsin, some friends decided to meet here at Pier 500 on a glorious 75 degree day for some cocktails and appetizers, with anticipation of enjoying the view of the riverfront. Being the 1st to arrive, and forewarned that on a nice day it would be in our best... More

Clean, great food, great service! A bit more upscale, but very comfortable atmosphere. Nice outdoor seating when the weather supports. Great Sunday brunch. God value for what you get.

This place looks rather fancy, and their menu can be on the above average side of pricing for dinners (not too bad though). But their sandwiches are priced average ($8 - $10), and the burgers are great! Great selection of beers as well. Atmosphere is nice, with a pretty view of the river.

The spot on the city park on the St Croix River is one of the best. In summer, plan to sit outside and have drinks and food. The menu is great for sandwiches, salads, appetizers and desserts. Dinners are a wide range of good stuff, esp the lobster mac and cheese.

Family friendly, upscale restaurant to take the kids too. Love dining outdoors on their patio when the weather allows. The Sunday brunch is great. I didn't think I'd like the hashbrowns, but after trying them I am in love. Love to get the chicken sandwich when I visit. Everything always just looks and tastes very fresh. The service has always... More

I end up here for happy hour more than anything else. They have a fantastic bar menu for appetizers. The food in the restaurant is also good. I love the seasonal changes as well.

We dined at Pier 500 last Saturday night for a family celebration. We had reservations, so we were greeted and seated upon arrival. It was refreshing to look at a menu that offered so many different entrees which were all very appealing. My daughter decided on the Lobster Mac and Cheese which she raved about. My husband and I both... More

Stopped by Pier 500 for Happy Hour last weekend, 1/19/2013.Since it is winter, we took our drinks inside rather that sit on the outside deck overlooking the beautiful St. Croix rRver. We sat in a very comfortable booth and enjoyed local craft beers while watching the sun set over the river valley. Very romantic. the service is great and the... More
