| - Peach Tree Southern Kitchen is tucked away in the historic main street of Hudson...just off of First and Main. My wife and I received a gift certificate and ended up with a free afternoon - kids free - to enjoy a meal out.
The atmosphere is pretty plain - nothing that necessarily stands out, but clean and quaint.
Our waitress was very attentive and helpful. She was not overbearing but made sure that everything was to our liking.
The menu is magic if, like me, you like southern cuisine. I actually said to my wife, "I want the Etoufee, the chicken and waffles, the fried chicken, and the shrimp and grits." Not too much to ask for!!
My wife ordered the soup special - vegetable leek. It was a great soup, creamy, we'll seasoned, and unique.
I chose to start with the pulled pork spring rolls. Spring rolls are hard to get right as the oil temp needs to be perfect so that the dough crisps up instead of absorbing the oil and becoming a log of grease. The fry was okay, but the filling was too sparse for my liking.
I chose the Cajun Etoufee. It was good. Really good. The seafood and pork were succulent and the dish was well seasoned. If I had one minor complaint it would be that I could have used a larger helping of rice to offset the liquid.
My wife chose the Pulled Pork Mac and Cheese. The pork was well cooked, and nicely sauced. The mac and cheese was equally good. My favorite note was the bacon jam which had a great smokey sweetness to cut through the richness of the rest of the dish.
The tap handles were a bit above standard. Not too out of the box, but more than your basic American Lagers.
All in all, I will be back. A great experience with excellent food and service.
