Puddin' has operated out of a stall inside Union Market at 1309 5th Street NE since 2010, serving Southern comfort food to the market's daily foot traffic. The menu holds a set of all-time favorites alongside seasonal specials, like a summer salad built on fresh watermelon, a tangy vinaigrette, fried jumbo shrimp, and green onions.
Regulars point to the shrimp dishes as a standout, and the counter has built a reputation for generous sampling and attentive service. The restaurant's namesake bread pudding draws its own share of debate over what counts as authentic, but that hasn't stopped it from becoming a fixture for Southern comfort food inside the market.
