Are you ready to see the best kept restaurant secret in the U.S.? Let's get started!


History

The Hudson Motorcar was not the fanciest, the largest, or the most expensive automobile built from the early 1920s into the late 1950s. Rather, Hudson Motorcars were just great performers, made by a proud company that really cared about the quality of their work, and about the people who bought their automobiles.
American Motors eventually stopped making Hudson Motorcars decades ago. However, back in the mid 1980s, we decided to build a restaurant that utilized the same basic business philosophy of the Hudson Motorcar Company. This business philosophy based on quality products, pride in workmanship, and concern for the consumer, has allowed Hudson's Grill of America to keep the proud Hudson's Motorcar tradition alive and thriving.
The first Hudson's Grill restaurant and bar concept, as we know it today, was opened in 1984 in Ventura, California. Over the years Hudson's Grill, like the Hudson's Motorcar, has been fine tuned and tested by fire. Expansion has slowly taken place through the franchising of our restaurants across the United States, from California and Oregon in the west, to New Jersey in the northeast, to Texas in the southwest, and to Mississippi in the southeast, and lots of places in between. International countries are showing a keen interest in Hudson's Grill as well. Some day, don't be surprised if there is a Hudson's Grill in many foreign countries around the world.


Today

Today, Hudson's Grill of America, Inc. is a public company, traded on the NASDAQ Bulletin Board stock exchange, under the symbol HDSG. Anyone interested in becoming a shareholder, large or small, in our great company has the opportunity to buy Hudson's Grill stock from any registered stock brokerage firm throughout the U.S.
Travis Bryant, our founder, is no longer physically affiliated with our business today. However, he continues to lead us in spirit and principle. The Hudson's Grill of America corporation is now headquartered in Dallas, Texas. Since 1993, the president of Hudson's Grill of America, Inc. has been David L. Osborn. Mr. Osborn has been associated with the Hudson's Grill organization for quite some time. Dave was the very first franchisee, opening the first Hudson's Grill restaurant outside of California, in El Paso, Texas in 1986.
Today, under the direction and leadership of Mr. Osborn, Hudson's Grill restaurants still proudly display authentic Hudson automotive memorabilia throughout our restaurants, with the highlight of each restaurant being the front end of an authentic Hudson automobile bursting through one of the dining room walls. Guests at a Hudson's Grill will always receive quality food and beverages, hospitable service, great value, and a rip roaring good time, all at a reasonable price.
Our present Hudson's Grill restaurants continue to be directly linked to the actual era when the Hudson automobile was built. This is accomplished by having late 50s and early 60s Rock n Roll music played on our old fashioned Wurlitzer juke box, and throughout the restaurant, bar and patio, over our sound system. In addition, a neighborhood drug store soda fountain counter is used in each Hudson's Grill restaurant to add even more authenticity to this beloved era. However, the latest in computerized and digital technology has also arrived at Hudson's Grill, from our use of state of the art restaurant production and point of sale equipment, to our satellite dish digital quality news and sports programming that is seen throughout the dining rooms and bar on our video monitors and big screen televisions.
The Hudson's Grill menu is kept relatively simple, but everything is prepared with only the finest and freshest of ingredients. Hudson's Grill only serves top quality, USDA grade domestic beef. We have our beef specially ground to meet our exacting specifications. Hudson's Grill commitment to quality continues in the fact that we still hand dip our malts and milk shakes, the old fashioned way, using only the finest ice cream and toppings available. All of our owners, management, and hourly staff members are hospitable, sincerely friendly, very personable, and proud to wear the Hudson's Grill name. Every owner, manager, and hourly staff member at Hudson's Grill knows that our guest signs each of our paychecks every time they dine with us. Hudson's Grill sets an extremely high expectation level, having each guest leave our restaurants satisfied on every occasion. There is zero tolerance.
Proudly, Hudson's Grill can state that our purpose for being in business is to:

    Guarantee that every guest always leaves our restaurants satisfied,
  • Try to make a reasonable profit, and return on investment, and
  • leave the world a much better place than we found it.
Someone once said that success happens when you combine a good idea with hard work, brains, preparation, and guts. With Hudson's Grill rising to the challenges, consistently following the exacting guidelines, policies and procedures, and remembering the fundamental business principles that the Hudson Motorcar Company was founded on, it is no wonder that Success Magazine bestowed the distinction on Hudson's Grill of being one of the top 100 companies awarded the "GOLD 100 Recognition Award". The Los Angeles Daily News awarded Hudson's Grill two First Place Awards. The first award honoring Hudson's Grill with 1st Place was in the "Best Burger" category, and another 1st Place award honoring Hudson's Grill was in the "Best American Cuisine" category.
