Restaurants in Kingston

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

“Really? It took me this long to give Stockade Tavern a review? That’s crazy, given how important a fixture it’s been for its entire 16 year tenure. From day 1, Paul and Jenny and their rotating crew of amazing bartenders and bar backs (you guys! 🙏🙏) made it cool to visit Uptown. Keep rocking it for another 16 please!!”

“Amazing wine selection (Beer and Cicer too) and unique foods. Their Cheese plate is scrumptious. The owners are so lovely and the atmosphere is chic. It's a great place to gather with a few friends.”

“Stopped in for a yummy dinner after touring the gorgeous home of FDR and LOVED it. Had a fabulous burger paired with a fabulous spicy Bloddy Mary. The bar is stunning and the staff is so lovely. Perfect gem”

“Super amazing pastries in a lovely shop! A must try!”

“Shout out to my girl Mariaaaaa for always coming through making the best cannolis ever. Thank you for making my birthday special, love ya girl!!! 💜 You're an angel!”

“Great to eat in and also to take out. Check out this Grub Pack for $80. 30 wings, 12 sliders, full tray machine and cheese and two margherita flatbread pizzas on a football Sunday!”

“Amazing creative space, people and energy.”

“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”

“Brit was our server. She was great!”

“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 .”

“Had a great experience with our waitress Alexis .. Alexis had a great personality and checked in on us often. Food was delicious and portions were perfectly sized. Will definitely go back when In the area.”

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

“They are the only soft ice cream place in the area that has soft serve oatmilk ice cream. Having a bad dairy allergy this makes me so happy. They even wash the milkshake machine before they make my shake.”

“I always enjoy their food, absolutely hands down the best quesadilla's around!!! Friendly and affordable with an authentic atmosphere.”

“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 desserts we had were exceptionally good. This was the best part of the meal. The scallop crudo was small, boring and expensive. The half-chicken main course was very good, and was enough to split between 2 people, but required at least one of them to be good at disassembling a chicken. The atmosphere was very loud. The place is toddler friendly, which is great if you have a toddler, and not so great if you do not. The restaurant is very popular, so reservations are a must. If you are hip and cool, you will probably enjoy it more than I did. It was not bad, but IMO it is a bit over-rated, as the only truly standout dishes we had were the desserts, and they were fantastic. Also, the bread was very very good. The drinks were OK. The price was a bit too high for what were served, in general. Mostly, it was just too loud for eating, for me. I am glad we tried it. 4 stars because- why not? I do not run down a decent restaurant with excellent service that is trying very hard just because it does not suit me.”

“This has become a beloved date night spot in my household and a place we credit with getting us so into sherry (and vermouth!) that we’re basically preaching to all our friends about it. If you’re worried about how expensive it is - which it is, no doubt! - at least stop in for happy hour and try the drinks. Last night was actually the first time I’ve had a full meal here and it really felt like a special occasion. I thought the bacalao was perfection and the tapas were yummy too - the custard dessert made me scream the first time I tried it (in a good way).
It’s definitely become more busy and more scene-y, but it still feels welcoming and intimate. From what I can tell everyone who works here is so passionate about the food and drinks they serve. Their service has always been so warm, fun, attentive, and knowledgeable. Shout out to you guys for helping us make any random night feel special! I’ve never been to Spain, but I’m lucky to live in Kingston and have spots like this to return to. Bonus points for having a dj last night who played great music and not too loud to have dinner with!”

“We came to the restaurant on a whim, and I am so happy we did. The food was delicious but very rich and the atmosphere is lovely. We had a fabulous waiter who was so accommodating and really elevated the experience. We will definitely be returning!”

“Dink is a great place to meet people, learn new skills and improve your pickleball game. All while having so much fun. Do check it out soon 🤗”

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

“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!”

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

“What a great little find in Kingston. My wife and I had a delightful dinner on the patio. Thursday was half-price margarita night and I had the opportunity to enjoy a perfectly prepared frozen margarita. The guacamole was among the best I’ve had and the quesabirria was meaty and cheesy and just delicious. Great vibe. Great food. Great people.”

“Great food service. I have never found a place that makes a better margarita. Most places make what I call “girly” margaritas. A true margarita is like a martini or manhattan. With the liquor the # 1 ingredient. Santa Fe makes a true margarita. The food is also very fresh and made to offer. Never found a place that makes better tacos.”

“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.”

“Amazing food . If you’re looking for fresh delicious food then check out this place. We had the Arthur Ave salad , Chicken Milanese , the carbonara , the tiramisu and the mocha latte. All I can say is WOW 🤩 . Left with full bellies . The mocha latte was the best latte I ever had. The rest of the food was so fresh you will leave feeling full but not that gross full feeling . Will definitely be coming back to try something else !”

“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.”

“My son says this is the only place to get great crispy tofu,not like the mushy stuff he gets elsewhere. And it was delicious crispy tofu, and everything else we tried was excellent, very relaxing, and great people. I've been craving food like this and this is it.”

“I love this place I recommend it to everyone”

“Nice, clean and very cozy ☺️”

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

“Great coffee, great service, attentive atmosphere”

“I’ve struggled with finding really delicious wings in the area. It seems like Buffalo was the only place to go-until now. I was recommended to this place and I’m very happy with the quality of the wings. I had Thai and extra hot wings. The only thing is that the extra hot wasn’t hot at all to me. But that’s just me and that certainly doesn’t take away from the quality of the food and the excellent service. Next time I’ll just specify exactly how hot I want the wings. I highly recommend Hickory to anyone who is looking for delicious smoked food.”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“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!!”

“Food is great and the staff is awesome and treat you as family! Always recommended.”

“the best people service and food”

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

“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 🍺🍻”

“White Bean with Kale Soup. Now an all time favorite!”

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

“4.7??? This needs to be a 5.0 with mad Michelin stars. Although I hear Michelin is doing some weird subscription crap now, which is neither here nor there.

This restaurant is NO JOKE. Top tier, full stop.

My partner and I went over the weekend and the food was so ridiculously delicious that literally everyone sitting in our section became friends. We were all eating, looking at each other like “ARE YOU TASTING THIS?!,” and then immediately talking about how good everything was.

We could not stop raving about the food. It was one of those meals where you leave already planning when you can come back.

This is officially our new favorite spot, and anytime we’re anywhere remotely near here, we will absolutely be seeking it out. If you’re debating whether to go: GO. This place is the real deal.”

“Delicious. My favorite is the curry lentil soup and bahn mi sandwich. Everything I’ve had here is delicious. It is expensive tho and the kitchen isn’t the fastest. But for a nice lunch and hang, this place is great. Excellent coffee as well.”

“lovely atmosphere and Kate the bartender is wonderful!!”

“I sent people there. They had the most amazing service, and food was great. Always friendly. I recommend! Very respectful family. 10 stars! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”

“I recommend EVERYTHING!! Just go! RUN, don't walk! Phenomenal!”

“This place is absolutely AMAZING. Jamaican food of the highest quality and gets better every time I visit! I ordered a large oxtail, cabbage, plantains, rice and peas. They have sorrel, coconut water, Ting, and a assortment of other fine drinks. I had sorrel. The oxtails were DELICIOUS and superbly prepared. Fall off the bone tender, you can actually bite the whole thing and get to the yummy marrow as well... Seasoned just right, rice and peas was perfectly prepared, plantains as well...cabbage was delicious too. The portions are generous and more than fair for the amount of delicious food you get. I ate to popping and still had lunch the next day from the leftovers. JI has the best Jamaican food in the Hudson Valley. I say that with confidence having sampled many different Jamaican businesses in the area and out of the country. He has the BEST curry goat, curry chicken, curry shrimp, brown stew chicken, fried chicken, salmon, ackee and salt fish, and so much more deliciousness. I recommend this fine, supreme vibes place for the FINEST JAMAICAN FOOD IN THE HUDSON VALLEY. I STAMP!!!”

“Pleasantly surprised how fresh the fruits, toppings and other products are. The owner was incredibly personable and made easy, flowing conversation. I am from the Albany area where Açaí/Pitaya Bowls are very popular— I was SO excited to learn about Turn Up The Beet right here on Broadway. 10/10 recommend.”

“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.”

“WOW ITS BEEN ALONG TIME AGO But all I can say is eat enjoy and have a great time 🥂 Oh 🤔 also have a drink or two 🙌🏼❤️ NEW YORK STYLE BETTER YET 🇮🇹🍝 SALUTE ‼️”

“Hadn’t been there in a while don’t know what took me so long. Good is always meant awesome!!! Keep up the good work👍”

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

“Amazing hosts and great food.”

“very good food and good staff”

“I'm 76. Been going to the Dallas hot weiner diner since I was a little girl. Still love the weiners and salads. Their fries with cheese and hot sauce is great.”

“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!”

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

“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”

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

“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”

“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.”

“The shrimp mulitas were delicious!”

“Excellent food and service. Crab cakes, local corn Chowder, vegetarian chilli, mac n cheese, and broccoli salad were all super delicious. Got 2 different kinds of chocolate cakes too, yummo. All made in-house. Been going here for many years and it's always scrumptious 😋 Thank you so much.”

“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”

“I had lunch at the Market Basket today enjoyed a cup of their wonderful chicken and wild rice soup. It was definitely Hardy and tasty and hit the spot . I then ordered a turkey and cheese sub to take home I have not eaten it yet however it is huge it'll be enough for three meals. Will definitely be going back”

“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!”

“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)!”

“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.”

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

“The food is absolutely amazing. The service is exceptional. The is by far one of the best places to eat in Kingston.”

“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.”

“great food great service great atmospher”

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

“Brit was our server. She was great!”

“Hadn’t been there in a while don’t know what took me so long. Good is always meant awesome!!! Keep up the good work👍”

“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”

“Great quality and pricing sandwiches have plenty of meat and cheese”

“Great food service. I have never found a place that makes a better margarita. Most places make what I call “girly” margaritas. A true margarita is like a martini or manhattan.

“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.”

“stopped in on a whim, bought english muffins and scones,FABULOUS!!! Will most definitely make it a stop when in Kingston”

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

“I love this place I recommend it to everyone”

“Had a great birthday diner after watching the new insidious movie… Mason was great and handled our crazy family perfectly. Thank you! 😁💕”

“Great selection of excellent food! Prices have gone up significantly, but still acceptable for all-you-can-eat!”

“We came for a late lunch and left completely stuffed! The food was delicious. Every dish was cooked perfectly. Service was prompt and efficient also!”

“Supreme quality burger, 🍔 excellent staff, wonderful business - can’t recommend enough. 5 out of 5 enthusiastic thumbs up.”

“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.”

“Awesome thanks for the good food 🥘”

“Was ok. Nothing terrible about the food but not out of this world broth 🤷🏻‍♀️ . Nice atmosphere. Decently priced. Staff was friendly. Maybe if I tried something other than the noodle bowl ( was just too bland for me) .”

“I edited my last vad review yrs ago due to going back to get a spinach pizza it comes with spinach (obviously) chunky red sauce lots of garlic and cheese let me say it was amazing and came out w a nice crispy crust”

“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”

“Hadn’t been there in a while don’t know what took me so long. Good is always meant awesome!!! Keep up the good work👍”

“I had such an incredible experience at Popeyes that I genuinely felt compelled to share it. From the moment I walked in, everything exceeded my expectations in the best possible way. The atmosphere was welcoming, clean, and full of that signature energy that makes you instantly excited about the meal you’re about to have.

The service was absolutely top-tier. The staff greeted me with genuine friendliness, were patient while I decided what to order, and made me feel like a valued customer rather than just another transaction. It’s rare to come across a team that’s both efficient and warm, but they struck that balance perfectly. My order was prepared quickly, yet nothing felt rushed or careless.

Now, the food — easily some of the best I’ve had from any fast-food restaurant. Everything was fresh, hot, and perfectly cooked. The chicken was unbelievably crispy on the outside while staying juicy and flavorful on the inside. You could taste the seasoning in every bite — bold, savory, and just the right amount of spice. The sides were just as impressive, especially the biscuits, which were soft, buttery, and practically melted in my mouth. Every element of the meal felt thoughtfully prepared and consistent in quality.

What really stood out to me was the attention to detail. My order was accurate, neatly packaged, and served with care. Even the little things — like the freshness of the ingredients and the overall presentation — showed that this location takes pride in what they do.

Overall, this was a 5-star experience in every sense. Great food, outstanding service, and an atmosphere that made the whole visit enjoyable from start to finish. I’ll absolutely be coming back again and again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a consistently delicious and satisfying meal!”

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

“stopped in on a whim, bought english muffins and scones,FABULOUS!!! Will most definitely make it a stop when in Kingston”

“Run to this place. Get everything on the menu. Some of the best Mexican food in NY state if not the east coast. Ask about the specials. Try the homemade agua frescas. Top favorites buche, cabeza, cochinita pibil and champulines con nopal tacos.”

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

“Hands down the most amazing baked goods you will ever have the pleasure to taste. Her crusts are supreme works of art and there are not words to adequately describe what she does with custards. Even something as wholesome as the quiche goes beyond what any quiche has previously dreamed to accomplish. I just ate a piece of this weeks blueberry crumble custard and my life improved about 1500%. No, I’m not exaggerating. It’s pure magic I tell you. But Don’t believe me. Go eat for yourself.”

“Just stopped in Emily’s Cookie Co to pickup a Donation. Hey why not pickup a couple large Chocolate Chip Cookies while I am there. These should be called Chocolate Chip Extreme Cookies. I have never had some many Chocolate Chips in a cookie before. Love it!”

“Love the atmosphere at this bar. The staff is super friendly and fills your drinks quickly. The food is the star to the show. The wings are brined and made in house. The Parmesan and garlic fires are the perfect accompaniment to the drinks. Definitely a must visit when in town.”

“Stopped in for a flight of local brews during our afternoon exploring Kingston. Their selection covers an impressively diverse range of beers styles and each one we sampled was quite good. It's obvious much love has been put into crafting quality beer. The same is true of the tasting room which is a perfectly comfortable place to relax, hang out, sip, and savor. Add to that friendly, knowledge device and you have a must stop spot just a stones throw from the Hudson River Maritime Museum.”

“I just visited a pop up @ 742 Broadway Kingston NY. Di Sweet Spot @One & Only Cakes. I had the red velvet slice, and brought banana pudding home. I met the owner, Anrika. She is an amazing woman, small business owner who is a local pastry chef. The cakes all looked beautiful. The red velvet melted in my mouth. The flavor was the best I have ever had!! She said that she makes cakes for all occasions, including weddings! She is local- grew up in Kingston. I’m excited to support her business!!”

“The food was very fresh. The chicken was juicy and perfectly crispy. The service was above and beyond five star! A bit bright for me but good music. I would go back and i would definitely recommend.”

“A highlight of our trip to Kingston! The LuRouFan was so good I didn’t get a picture of it. Had to pair it with a WangLuoJi, which I was delighted to find in the fridge iykyk. The staff was friendly and helpful in choosing my order since there were so many good options. Highly recommend!”

“Such a great treat and amazing addition to the island, highly recommend!!!”

“Great food, great service, heard a lot of good things about this restaurant, went there dinner and it's incredible to see how their team manage and serve in such a busy dinner service. Great job.”

“The employees at this location are awesome and drinks are always so good 🥰
The seating area is a little eh, not that many tables and the lighting is kinda lackluster which makes it feel not that inviting and more clinical, but no quips with the business or employees!”

“Incredible cocktails with a great menu is a huge win!”
