Hudson's automobiles were an important part of everyday American life in the 1940's and 50's. They were reasonably priced, well built and fun to drive.
Many a Hudson traveled to the local diner for a burger after the Friday night football game, or to the drugstore soda fountain before the Saturday afternoon matinée. During the week, more were parked at the corner grill in the town square, their owners having a salad or chicken fried steak at lunch.
Today, we are committed to providing the same quality, service and fun that Hudson
's always stood for - at reasonable prices. We believe in real value for your money, so our burgers are served with fries included. Our shakes and malts are so large the overflow comes to you in the mixing can on the side. Our coffee is special too, and every meal ends with a Tootsie Pop!
"Hudson" What's in a name?
The name "Hudson" came from J.L. Hudson, a Detroit department store entrepreneur and founder of Hudson's Department Store. Mr. Hudson along with 7 other business men banded together to create the Hudson Motor Car Company in 1909. For more information on the Hudson Motor Car Company please visit the link at the bottom of the page.


Fast forward a few decades to 1984 when a man by the name of Travis Bryant decided to build a restaurant that utilized the same basic business philosophies that the Hudson Motor Car Company did. A philosophy based on quality products, pride in workmanship and care for the consumer. So over 20 years ago the first Hudson's Grill concept opened in Ventura, California.
Over the years Hudson's Grill International, Inc. has enjoyed continued growth through several franchises. Hudson's Grill Franchises can be found in California, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin.
