Established in 2009, Hudson’s Burger Joint is one of the busiest burger joints in Cape Town. It’s an American diner-style franchise inspired by a no-frills, no-fuss New York-based burger joint—the restaurant’s ever-growing menu of delicious burgers catering to all different dietary options.

Even though the burgers are pretty simple, they are not dull. They have curated some innovative burgers without being detestable by the burger community! If you don’t like going for a burger and just getting a snack, don’t worry. Hudson’s got you covered.

The joint has a wide array of snacks ranging from different kinds of fries to some amazing falafel salads, and they even have tacos for when you’re feeling a bit Mexican. Even though Hudson’s took off as a Burger joint, over the past few years, it has become a popular spot for drinks. They have an extensive drinks menu to test out your liver.
