Maria, our server, was absolutely AWESOME —she picked the perfect beer flight for me, and everything she suggested was spot on.

The hostess also gave us great recommendations for things to do while we’re in town. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!“

“I came in for a quick drink because I was passing by and saw this kid spinning a sign like crazy outside which I must say was something I've never seen before... What a performance. Once inside I noticed they have a pool table, juke box and a dart board... Kelly the bartender was very polite and attentive. She made me the most delicious long island I've ever had the pleasure of drinking. I also ordered the wing zings which are by far the best wings I've ever had in my entire life. I must say I wouldnt go anywhere else for wings not any pizzeria can compare to these wings. Anyways I would suggest Mr. Ps roadhouse to anyone looking for a good drink great food in the best environment.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Joe Willy’s Seafood House, on Rt. 9 in Wappinger Falls and it was truly a wonderful experience from beginning to end. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the kind of place where you immediately feel comfortable and welcomed. The food was outstanding, it was fresh, flavorful, and clearly prepared with care. What made the experience especially memorable was the hospitality of the owners, Joe and Deana. Their presence and genuine warmth create something special. You don’t just feel like a customer, you feel like a guest they truly appreciate. That kind of personal touch is rare and makes all the difference. The service was attentive and friendly throughout, adding to an already exceptional evening. This is the kind of place you look forward to returning to and sharing with family and friends. Joe Willy’s Seafood House is truly a gem.“

“Excellent place & even better food! I've been to the Ramen By Rare place 3 times and each time I had an amazing experience. Food is 10/10! I'm surprised it's not jammed packed with a waiting list for 15 minutes to be seated. I pray Keith Lee comes here and does a review cause it's no way it should be me and like 3 other people here on a Friday night.“
