“Just ordered for the first time and we will go back!! Shrimp tacos were amazing and salsa and guacamole were amazingly fresh!! Highly recommend!”

“My wife Donna and I just enjoyed a fabulous Valentines Day dinner at Downtown Cafe. We have enjoyed Graziano's culinary artistry for 30 years now, (since the days of Mary Ps), and he just keeps getting better. My wife had the shortribs, and I had the sushi grade tuna with mushrooms and we enjoyed every bite. The service and atmosphere are the best. I would highly recommend the Downtown Cafe for a delicious, relaxing meal and great hometown atmosphere.”

“Great local brewery right in the middle of it all yet, secretly blending in with the neighborhood! Have an organic beer palette on your tongue and enjoy the unique Kingston microbrew 🍺🍻”

“Just went for the first time i’ve been hearing my friends talk about it for awhile now, this one and the new paltz one. My friend decided to take me to lunch today and i’m so happy she did. The food was absolutely delicious i had the pork carnitas, yummy margaritas i had the fresh orange the chips and salsa yummy. Max our waiter was very friendly even gave us a complimentary pineapple shot. I will definitely be back if you haven’t tried this place yet please do you wont regret.”

“The cocktails, food and our server Megan were all terrific. The Spicy Tuna on Crunchy Rice and the Drunken Noodles were fabulous! Highly recommended.”

“The pan con tomate is a stand out — for sure worth a spot on your order and we debated ordering a second!

However the menu changed recently and we found that it didn’t have enough offerings. The frisé salad ($16) is also steep for what it is — a bowl of bitter lettuce with a fishy dressing and some parm shaved on top. Mirador is a nice spot for a drink and a snack but for a fuller meal you may need to look elsewhere or be prepared for a heavy bill for small plates.”

“What a treasure in uptown Kingston! It was a last minute decision to find a good salad last night. Well, we hit gold! The salads were unique and delicious! The presentation was beautiful. Max the bartender/server was one of the most charming people I’ve met in a long while. I will be back to try everything n the menu!”

“Braved temps in the 20’s, snowy/icy roads last evening to enjoy Taco Tuesday! Had the blackened scallop tacos… they were were absolutely outstanding! Always generous portions, the freshest ingredients, the nicest staff, and reasonable prices! Brava and Bravo! ❤️🌮❤️🌮👏👏👏👏👏 Thank You Santa Fe Uptown!”

“Friendly, competent staff who all work together. Amazing sushi. Make reservations!”

“My son (8) and I did Pickleball 101 and it was great. We both quickly saw how much fun pickleball can be. Noticed right away how clean, organized, and welcoming Dink was. Nice seating area for spectators as well. We will definitely be back.”

“Another fantastic meal Front Street Tavern!! Fabulous food (bang-bang shrimp and smash burger my favs, but constantly evolving menu) Staff and owners top notch! So fortunate for Kingston. Do yourself a favor and check it out!!”

“Loved it! There's lots of good food to be had in the Hudson Valley, but Le Canard is at the top in terms of the sheer pleasure of dining. Crispy duck was divine, the wine sublime, and the service superb. We felt really happy being there.”

“Top shelf!!! We had a group of 17 for lunch. Everyone raved about the excellent food and the wonderful and friendly service. Our menu included London Broil, Salmon, Ceasars Salad with Chicken and Vegetable Quiche with side salad. We had a variety of servings. Everything was sooooo good! Best restaurant in Kingston. We couldn't have chosen a better place.”

“This cafe is a gem. Not only does the cafe have great food but I especially love the carefully curated specialty items, grab and go meals and family style takeaways for those busy days and catering options to making hosting a breeze. Quality and convenience.”

“It's our "Cheers"!! It's our go-to option for our weekly Date Nite!”

“Came here not familiar or by a recommendation just looked up restaurants in Kingston and took a chance. Everyone at our table got something different and the dishes were cooked to perfection. The calamari was so tender and the Buffalo sauce to go with it was a nice change. John was our waiter and when we come back we are requesting him. He was always knowledgeable and accommodating. Had to put this review in and will be coming back”

“Cool atmosphere, good coffee and really tasty sandwiches!”

“I don't usually write reviews but I was so impressed by this restaurant that I felt obliged to let other people know what they were missing. From our cocktails to dessert everything was top notch ... fresh, delicious, and presented beautifully. The margaritas, both Frozen and straight up we're a perfect balance of lime and sweetness with a choice of different salted, sweet or spicy rim flavors. You can also get a flight of three different flavored margaritas including coconut, raspberry, and mango. All were delightful but coconut was the favorite. Our main course of fish tacos and portbella/spinach enchilada was fresh, colorful and delicious served with rice and beans. There are plenty of vegetarian options. The portions are plentiful and the prices are very reasonable. And I can't say enough about the friendly service and staff.... all super friendly and cheery....even the owner Guadalupe came to stop at our table and welcome us to her restaurant with a free dessert of creamy, light, melt in your mouth Key lime pie....save room....YUM! They even welcomed my dog, Goldilocks. What a wonderful find! I will definitely go back there again as often as I can. I had such a lovely evening and even had a conversation with the friendly people at the next table who were regulars. I left with a full belly, a smile on my face and a hug from Guadalupe.”

“Had great wings and salad at the restaurant, along with amazing service.”

“Best bagels around, great soup, great sandwiches! Breakfast, Lunch or a quick snack- sunrise is always worth the stop!”

“Ate here Oct. 6. Never been here before and I wish I did. Probably the cheapest prices for ice cream/sundaes I've seen in the HV region.
I got a medium sundae with cherry soft serve and it was very good.
Cashier and workers are friendly and fast.
Definitely will come back”

“I really can’t say enough good things about Frank Guido’s Little Italy. From the owners, staff, food… everything. My family & I have shared numerous celebrations and dinners here over the years but nothing will ever top doing our wedding reception with them in May. The amazing service and care we received that night and leading up to it meant so much to us that it’s hard to even put into words how thankful we are. Special recognition to Marie who spent months talking with me, organizing, and making sure everything was perfect.. & it was!! Also, Amanda who made sure we were taken care of all night. You are both exceptional and I can’t thank you enough..And to all the other staff that made our wedding night amazing as well.. THANK YOU!! To top it off today getting a letter in the mail from Mark thanking us for holding our reception with them. Truly made our day and proves we made the right choice when we decided to do a smaller reception at a local spot we love so much! I would recommend them to anyone, for any event, big or small! 10/10! ❤️ -Nicole & Derrick Jackson”

“Meatball subs are so good, if u like a lot of sauce, make sure u ask for it!
Pizza is always good!!

I was bummed when the girl told me the other day that baked ziti had meat sauce!
That was a flat out lie! I would have never gotten it.
So about 20 dollars for noodles and sauce oh and some cheese! I will keep five stars because this is just my review!”

“I have had the pleasure of tasting the dill potato salad twice. I can say it is far surpassed my expectations and I look forward to having it again.”

“everything thing is delicious. the people are all awesome”

“the best people service and food”

“My husband and I go there all the time. Foods great along with great service. Highly recommend it👏👏”

“Ordered a butterfly shaped cake for our little girls first birthday and we were blown away with how perfect it came out (and how delicious)!”

“Wowowowow the food was soo tasty! I ordered the combination plate of platanos con crema, frijoles y taco de pollo QUE RICO also several pupusas that were all so flavorful and filling. I loved the picked onion and cabbage that comes with them. This is my new spot!!”

“This past weekend we had our son’s birthday catered by Salamone's Italian Foods. The food was delicious and the price was even better. We ordered a 1/2 tray of chicken francese, penne alla vodka, sausage and peppers and a tossed salad. The chicken francese was thin and tender and the francese sauce was a perfect lemony, velvet consistency. Penevodka was so delicious it was a traditional vodka sauce that had an amazing flavor with little pieces of pancetta. Sausage and peppers were out of this world. The peppers and onions were fresh and not over cooked. The sausage had a mild/heat and was also very tender. Lastly the toss salad was fresh and beautifully made with cucumbers, fresh romaine lettuce, peppers and homemade croutons. Communication was a breeze, Annie is fabulous and gets back to you right away. She even delivered the food to our house! We will definitely be ordering with them again!!”

“Delicious food, friendly staff and atmosphere. Highly recommended”

“Amazing food and service easily the best the the surrounding area”

“We ordered the broccoli beef, chicken with garlic, and Singapore rice noodles — everything was super fresh, flavorful, and delicious. Great portions and fast, friendly service. We’ll definitely be back!”

“Amazing sandwiches, soup and wraps and awesome customer service! 10/10 would recommend!😊”

“Not a single complaint for this place! The staff are very welcoming & friendly. The food & coffee is delicious & everyone there is so dog friendly. Highly recommend stopping in!”

“Pretty good gluten free pizza crust, and the toppings were delicious. The other pie we ordered didn't come with the add-on we asked for and was very different from what was advertised. It's a very crowded and noisy bar so be prepared for that. There are a few parking spots in their parking lot, otherwise its street parking.”

“We wandered into Chleo on a weekend getaway and left plotting how soon we could come back. Every dish left us wishing we had come with a larger group so we could try even more dishes. Our waitress recommended we share 5-6 dishes between us. Here is what we tried:

- Spaghetti Alla Nerano: the kind of summer pasta dish you dream about. Honestly, we could’ve happily eaten a whole vat of it.
- Pork Schnitzel: perfectly crisp on the outside and tender inside.
- Scallop Crudo: bright and refreshing with peaches, melon, and pineapple.
- Tomato Pie: another standout. The cornmeal crust was so good we joked that if they made a foot-long version, it would be the perfect bite.
- Smashed Cucumbers were a hit too, pairing beautifully with smoked and whipped trout roe and fresh dill.

Between the perfect flavors and the warm, relaxed vibe, Chleo is definitely a must-visit for a date night or a group dinner in Kingston.”

“food is delicious the workers is clean and polite a must have when you want authentic REAL food.”

“Usually offers good bread. But is very wishy washy on their "old bread sales" prices. If it's a day old it should be discounted - period. (I have worked for almost four years in a bakery) This is being aggregated by the fact that I was not notified of this pricing structure when I asked for day old bread (with the specific intend to get a discount for something that is not fresh and won't last me as long). Had I been informed about this, I would have just bought the same bread *fresh* - for the *same price*. I feel that the omission of this fact is even done purposely to mislead customers.”

“Had a wonderful time with Carmela and Tinaya (sp) this morning... The Breakfast sandwich and coffee were outstanding!!! Service is great... Stop in and see the Girls, you won't regret it...! PS, I am coming back for those cheese grits! 💖💖💖”

“The shrimp mulitas were delicious!”

“Si tu quieres la mejor burrito en la ciudad, tienes ganas de prober la Enchilada, puerco picante. Soy una persona habitual y tenia experiencias regulares con sabor phenomenal y en punto todos los veces. La salsa roja lo hacen es un adición perfecta para complementer el sabor de este burrito, en mis opiniones. If you want the best burrito in Kingston, you have to try the enchilada, spicy pork. I’m a regular customer and in my experiences, the flavor is on point and phenomenal every time. They have red or green salsa, in my opinion the red one they make complements the flavor of this one perfectly.”

“First thing I noticed was the beautiful engraved door. Very friendly atmosphere. We were offered drinks while waiting to be seated for dinner. I had a coconut margarita which was amazing! I normally don’t drink margaritas. The guacamole was so fresh! Delicious! My husband and daughter loved the calamari! My husband got the Casa Villa Seafood, he was in heaven! The portions were large we left with two bags of food. The staff from start to finish were really impeccable! 10 out of 10. We will be returning!”

“I recently stopped into Kelly’s Shamrock Tavern, and let me tell you—this place is everything a real neighborhood bar should be. As soon as I walked in, it felt like I had stepped into a warm memory. No frills, no fake smiles—just good people, cold drinks, and an atmosphere you can’t fake.

The bartenders are the kind of folks you instantly feel comfortable talking to—friendly, attentive, and they know how to pour a perfect drink. The crowd? A great mix of locals, regulars, and folks just there for a good time. Everyone’s chill, no egos, no drama.

I played a few games of pool, caught some laughs with people I’d never met before, and genuinely didn’t want to leave. There’s just something about Kelly’s—it’s got soul. You can feel the history in the walls, and it’s still alive and thriving today.

If you’re in Kingston and want a break from the trendy spots or overpriced cocktails, come to Kelly’s. It’s authentic, it’s welcoming, and honestly, we need more places like this. I’ll definitely be back—and I’m bringing friends next time.”

“Amazing food ! Sweet staff and beautiful dining . Loved the lunch menu so delicious.Highly recommend to try lunch . We will be coming back for dinner with the whole family .”

“Great people! , even better food 👌 👏”

“Great hamburger and tater Tots. Intimate performance space in the back.”

“I used to look forward to eating there. But the last two times I had the worst servers. One never came back to check after she dropped off my food. I had wanted a soda refill and another napkin, had to find her to get my check. Last night I came in and was told the kitchen was about to close so I needed to hurry up (I just sat down at about 9:25 pm). I ordered right away. An ice water and a coke and a meatball parm sub. I was lucky to get my soda with her attitude. No ice water was brought or acknowledged at all. I took a few bites of my food and she asked if I wanted a box. I was really irritated. If they told me to go only I would have been fine. But the way I was handled made me angry. I ate quickly and left. If I choose to get something again , it will be to go. Honestly, Caitlyn is the best server there. She is five stars. The others are not worth a dime.”

“very good food and good staff”

“They give back to the community and are passionate and very knowledgeable about issues they support.”

“I thought this sandwich for breakfast was quite good, so was the coffee very convenient that you can drive up.
The girl there was quite pleasant and friendly”

“Eclectic place. A cross between an old Irish pub and kind of almost a modern day hip hop club.

Good beers, Super Kitty was exceptional. Good service. Stop in”

“My hubby is from NY but I'm from the South. We stopped by to get lunch after family suggested it. OMG!!!! The best sub I've ever tasted. I got The Big and he got The Godfather. Can't wait to visit again. Not only was the food awesome but the staff were friendly and prices reasonable :)”

“I love the food here!!!!!!”

“We stopped in today for an early dinner and are so happy we did! We started with the bone-in chicken wings — Crack BBQ & Cajun Honey — and let me tell you, that Crack Sauce is AMAZING 👏. I had the Biggie chicken sandwich, and the chicken was seasoned to perfection. Rosanna was such a pleasure to chat with during our meal — super friendly and full of great insights about the area. Can’t wait to come back!”

“😀Maria never lets you go home without a large doggie bag. Best in Town. Tip: try the homemade cheesecake”

“Always fast, fresh and delicious and totally reliable. A very well run operation!”

“I asked them for salsa to dip my chips in and they asked me what I meant by salsa. I described salsa and they told me it was in the bag, but it wasn't. But like what do you mean, what do I mean by salsa?! Did you think I was asking for marinara?

The tacos were standard, the other restaurants nearby have similar. But like... Salsa. Probably going to a restaurant that knows what salsa is in the future instead. 🤦”

“First time there and will definitely be back!!!”

“Amazing hosts and great food.”

“Damon, the new guy is so nice & friendly! Loved the customer service from the woman at the front cashier, and that squash soup is AMAZING, smelled it before I walked in! Amazing, i’ll be back!”

“Such old-fashioned, soft ice cream with great prices! And, if you really want a bargain, purchase a 6 pack of ice cream sandwiches, prepackaged, and available within the actual dairy store!!!!!! It doesn't get much better than those! Yummy!!”

“So many community members, businesses, friends & family, came together to support the Gribbon family in their recent renovation at the new location. The new High Falls Cafe is beautiful! It has the same welcoming atmosphere as its previous location, but this is so much better! Food and service are great, and they have been very busy since opening a few weeks ago. If you want to ensure that you can get a table, make a reservation in advance!”

“Delicious food!! Authentic Jamaican.”

“Popped in after hair cut. Vinnie and Jeff were friendly, worked well together, got my order quickly, and enjoyed the delightful banter. Clean, well maintained, I’ll be back!”

“We ate there today for lunch; the service was great and so was the food. We had a wonderful waitress named Unique and she seated us within two minutes. I ordered the fish and chips and my friend, the coconut shrimp. Very satisfying. So glad I did not let some bad reviews stop us from eating there.”

“Beef, tofu, mushrooms, scallions & broccoli in spicy garlic sauce- EXCELLENT!”

“Top shelf!!! We had a group of 17 for lunch. Everyone raved about the excellent food and the wonderful and friendly service. Our menu included London Broil, Salmon, Ceasars Salad with Chicken and Vegetable Quiche with side salad. We had a variety of servings. Everything was sooooo good! Best restaurant in Kingston. We couldn't have chosen a better place.”

“I remember that bar very well ,my grandfather owned Rene’s restaurant next door also the sunny side bar across the street those were the 70’s”

“A real home cook meal! Can I tell yuh! No where better than yard”

“Another fantastic meal Front Street Tavern!! Fabulous food (bang-bang shrimp and smash burger my favs, but constantly evolving menu) Staff and owners top notch! So fortunate for Kingston. Do yourself a favor and check it out!!”

“Fast Friendly Service and delicious bagels! Just a bit disappointed with the sandwiches - I have tried a few from Bacon Egg Cheese to Rueban etc and they have been so light on the meat like a few thin slices, tiny bit of cheese etc. mostly all bread :( I will keep ordering the wonderful bagels just not the sandwiches.”

“Excellent food and great service. Very accommodating and friendly. Relaxing atmosphere. We would give 100 stars if possible! Highly recommend.”

“Picked up an awesome meal last night from here. I was amazed that everything was accounted for and they didn't skimp on anything. Was a very pleasant experience and the food was very good. Also very reasonably priced. The woman at the to go counter was very nice too. She does a good job. I wish I would've tipped more now, but now I know for next time. Most places always forget something or mess up something, but my dinner was spot on. My order was ready right on time as well.”

“Today was my first truly terrible experience at this location. There were tons of people working - we were told they’re overlapping for the later shift to come in. The line was out of almost everything. They were out of soda. The kids were standing around chatting and yawning. The kid cutting meat was chewing on a large mouthful of something. With his mouth open. Over the protein he was cutting. With so many people behind the counter, we still had to wait several minutes to pay. The table area was filthy - the chairs, tables and floor all had food everywhere. I’m shocked - this location is generally really good. And in a busy weekend with so many people on shift there’s really no excuse.”

“My husband and I go there all the time. Foods great along with great service. Highly recommend it👏👏”

“really good burger joint 😋 can't get any better than moonburger”

“Ordered a butterfly shaped cake for our little girls first birthday and we were blown away with how perfect it came out (and how delicious)!”

“Best little place in the world!”

“If you're looking for a steak, pride, rib, fridays. They have the best prime rib. You would not expect to come from a diner. Also, check out terror macaroni and cheese balls. Love them. Their gravy is food group all on its own”

“Best bagels around, great soup, great sandwiches! Breakfast, Lunch or a quick snack- sunrise is always worth the stop!”

“food wos cold some food didn't taste well”

“Sent my fiance out to get me an iced coffee, lobster tail & donuts. They are amazing so fresh, so delicious. Might need more tomorrow before we leave town! A must stop for coffee lovers”

“Everything was amazing! The food was spot-on and the staff was incredible—so friendly and welcoming. Picnic Pizza is definitely my new go-to spot in Kingston! 🍕✨”

“Pleasantly surprised by the quality and value of the food. The margarita wasn’t bad either. This was my teenagers first choice. She gets wings wherever we go and was very happy with her platter. We will come again. Maybe they’ll expand the cocktail menu by then”

“the corned beef hash and eggs are really good so is the right toast the ham dinners that are really good and also the roast beef dinners also good I recommend this place to anybody”

“Amazing food and service easily the best the the surrounding area”

“Great fish sandwich & tasty fried shrimp (their 'Tackle Box')! Service was good but a small language problem made for a minor problem when ordering. Atmosphere was ok too (it's a 'fast food' restaurant!).”

“Excellent food and great service. Very accommodating and friendly. Relaxing atmosphere. We would give 100 stars if possible! Highly recommend.”

“THE BEST CROISSANTS I HAVE EVER HAD!!! Seriously just amazing! The veggie quiche is so flavorful and the crust is buttery and flaky! The croissants are huge and also buttery and flaky. The texture and taste are both matched for the best around! Even better then ones I’ve had at popular bakeries in NYC. This spot is a hidden gem! Don’t sleep on this place! Their hospitality is out of this world! They have great prices for their chai lattes as well! I’ve been coming every day on my lunch break for a large iced chai latte and they only charge me $5.50! It’s just amazing and Starbucks doesn’t have anything on this place and their chai lattes and pastries!!”

“Excellent beer, food, ambiance and service. What more is there to say other than “I’ll be back”.”

“Absolutely delicious! We ordered for my office and everything was authentic, made fresh, and just delicious. We ordered a bunch of steak tacos, some tomales, and I think it was a Cucumber lime mint aqua fresca drink that I had which was delicious and refreshing. My coworker picked up the order and also said how outstanding the customer service was.
Can't wait to order again to try more options.”

“I have been starved of dim sum in this area for way too long! This place is delicious and always so fresh and if they were on food delivery apps I would be in crushing debt ordering 5 times a day.”
