Awesome experience at Lil’ Deb’s, we come back every year! Truly a queer oasis. Devour the fried fish!

Don’t get fooled by Lil Deb’s kitschy exterior, the kitchen and cocktails are nothing to play with. As many have said on here already, the Fried fish is a showstopper. The earthy, spicy, sumac crusted skin provides a nice satisfying crunch to the buttery soft fish underneath.
What surprised me the most could easily have been an afterthought of an amuse bouche- the nam prik with the shrimp chips. A near perfect bite that explodes with umami balanced beautifully with acidity and complemented by the crunchy shrimp chip. The two separately, are good, but combined together are heaven.
Even if you’re just going for a drink and a snack, Lil Deb’s won’t disappoint. The cocktails are exceptionally crafted and come with no glitz, glam or frills- somewhat counterintuitive to the decor of the space. Where you might expect some large, fruity tiki drink to match the hot pink of the walls, Lil Deb’s will hand you a Shishito Martini in a stubby lowball glass.
Lil Deb’s defies the perception that it creates for itself- a perfect analogy for the community that it beckons too. A fun, fantastic space that will not only serve a vibe, but a mouthwatering dish as well.
Special shoutout to our wonderful bartender Spike. My GF and I felt immediately welcome and at home there- all thanks to Spike!

Pretty disappointing outing at Lil Deb’s Oasis. While the staff were very welcoming and attentive, the food sorely lacked any resemblance of flavor. The vibe of the interior was nice too and the drink offerings were solid. Unfortunately the limited menu, long wait for bland food, and exorbitant prices (we paid over $20 for a plain soup that took an hour to arrive) leaves a lot to be desired.

The kindest people work here. The vibe is immaculate. The food and drinks are incredible. A must go to in Hudson.
I have been coming here a few times a year since 2021 and the food consistently wows me. The menu is seasonal and their recipes intentionally funky. If you like meals that are transformative this place is probably right up your alley

We aren't local but went with some new friends to check it out. It helped that they knew what to order. We shared plantains, and they were amazing. We also got the whole fried fish, and it was perfection, so delicious. We Sat outside which was lovely. Our server, I believe was Jennica, and was super kind and fun. It was a great experience.
