American Glory BBQ – we finally partake – rank it “a keeper”

Months after the opening of American Glory BBQ here in Hudson, Karen and I stopped for a munch yesterday. In honor of my birthday I had a very specific hankering for meatloaf. After checking around, I realized that, excepting the meatloaf at the Blue Plate in Chatham and at the diners on the Taconic Parkway, American Glory was the only place serving up this delicacy close enough not to involve lengthy car rides.

So, before what turned out to be a less than completely satisfying trip to the movies to see the new George Clooney vehicle, The American, we stopped at American Glory. Even at 5:30 the ground floor was a bit too noisy with piped in music. We trotted upstairs and found ourselves in a spacious room with a high tin ceiling and booths and banquette seating. It was much quieter. The service was good and the food serviceable to quite good for slightly up scale bar cuisine. Karen had a bowl of chili and some crab stuffed deviled eggs. Keeping in mind that we have a rather forgiving sense of food values, we rate American Glory as a keeper for future visits.

American Glory BBQ – revisited – web shenangins??

After my original note on the arrival of American Glory BBQ up the street in the 300 “restaurant” block of Warren St., I was astounded by the stream of comments in response. After the number of comments passed five (it is now 15!!), I became suspicious that some, perhaps most, are being posted by people other than mere patrons of this establishment. This single posting has drawn more comments than any in the three year history of my website (in its earlier six years there was no comment capability on the site). The most recent commenter even comes right out and alleges that some of these comments have appeared verbatim on other websites. I have not investigated this allegation. Nevertheless, I admit to my doubts.

Leaving all of this web daring do aside, the restaurant remains a welcome addition to Hudson. It brings more life to the street. Soon, I will go for a meal. Swoon, next door continues to live up to its status as a legend. I hope that American Glory BBQ will turn out to be a legend too.

American Glory BBQ comes to Hudson

After months of construction, American Glory BBQ, replete with its redundancies in signage, is about to open. Located one door up the street from a proven legendary Hudson restaurant, Swoon, we expect it to open over this Memorial Day weekend. Walked by today and noticed that stools are at the bar and chairs and table at the ready.

Lets hope that American Glory BBQ turns out to be even half as “legendary” as its neighbor. That will be a great addition to the eating and drinking in Hudson.
