Restaurants in Kingston

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

“We hosted our wedding afterparty at Stockade Tavern and it was perfect. Paul and Jenny were extremely accommodating and made the event seamless. We got so many compliments on how great the environment, drinks and people were. They even accommodated food for us! Couldn’t recommend hosting an event here more.”

“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.”

“Amazing creative space, people and energy.”

“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”

“Located in the Stockade part of historic Kingston, this cheery restaurant has a great ambiance, with 2 large dining rooms and a full bar. On a cold and snowy winter Sunday, our group of 4 enjoyed cocktails and some snacks while touring the area.

The cocktails were awesome - we had 3 specialty margaritas (black and gold) and a Fig and Honey Martini, which was very sweet.

The appetizers were a hit or miss: wings were ok, the flatbread with prosciutto and fig wasn't to our liking but the thai shrimp were good, but I was surprised the dish only had 2 skewers of shrimp.

Overall a nice lunch. Very friendly service. On a Sunday, there weren't much choices for a meal in the area midday.”

“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”

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

Roast chicken, not all that good
Steak special, just okay
Hamburger, very good but, $28 for a burger and fries”

“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!”

“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 🤗”

“We just had the most wonderful dinner and evening at Le Canard Enchaine!! The food was terrific, the staff was wonderful, the atmosphere was lovely. We celebrated my mother's 100th birthday with 30 family and friends in a private room at the restaurant.
From the planning to menu selection to the evening of the event, it was such a pleasure working with Jennifer and her staff. They were so thoughtful and made it so easy for us.
This has been our family's favorite Kington fine dining restaurant for many years and it continues to operate at a high level of service and quality.
Treat yourself and your family and friends to an exceptional experience!”

“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 !”

“This was hands down some of the best food I've had in years. Not to judge, but most of the Mexican places around here are not very good. This however was exceptionally delicious. The chicken mole sauce was unbelievable. Fajitas were outstanding, the margaritas were excellent, the chips and salsa was ridiculously good. Service was impeccable. I cannot recommend this place enough.”

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

“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.”

“Serviceable takeout Chinese food, but a little less flavorful preparations than I've had at other takeout places (i.e., drier, not spiced/sauced as well, small portion for a large dish).
It is good enough in a bind, convenient location, but not my first choice locally.”

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

“Nice, clean and very cozy ☺️”

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

“the best people service and food”

“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 ‼️”

“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”

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

“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.”

“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!!”

“The shrimp mulitas were delicious!”

“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.”

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

“Every time I finish a meal at Chleo, I find myself saying 'how do they keep surprising me every time?'. Both their cocktails and food are consistently unexpected and delightful. Whatever they're up to, it feels like they're excited about it in a way that makes me want to be excited about it. Order the whole menu if you can. The hospitality makes you feel safe while the food and bevs make you feel adventurous. I can't say enough nice things, I'm deeply grateful to have Chleo in my life.”

“Their turkey hoagie is one of the best sandwiches I have eaten in maybe my entire life … add pesto and you will be in heaven. Takes a little while to actually get your food so sit back and relax and stay a while. Theres a pool table and arcade games in the back, very chill, kid friendly - no table service (order at the counter!)”

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

“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!!!”

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

“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👍”

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

“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”

“very good food and good staff”

“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.”

“Amazing! Hit the spot for an Indian street food craving.”

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

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

“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.”

“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”

“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!!”

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

“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”

“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!”

“Healthy, delicious, and incredibly affordable. It’s hard to find lunch in the area that’s both tasty and genuinely healthy for well under $15, but this place delivers every time. I always get it to go. The service is always super fast, too!”

“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!”

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

“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.”

“OMG Eva at the bar, punk rock on the juke box, I love it”

“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.”

“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!”

“Delicious food!! Authentic Jamaican.”

“This is truly our favorite go-to for takeout! Their taco boxes are so amazing for a family meal - the food is authentic and high quality!! And the service is lovely. 100% recommend!”

“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!”

“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.”

“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”

“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”

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

“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.”

“I love this place I recommend it to everyone”

“Amazing creative space, people and energy.”

“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)!”

“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.”

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

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

“The portions are huge which makes the prices really affordable. The food itself is very well prepared, fresh ingredients. It's really surprising. Don't be fooled by your hunger... it's almost impossible to eat one appetizer and a main dish.... we shared a gyros with Greek salad and it was hard to finish it.”

“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👍”

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

“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”

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

“Mason was amazing! The best service I have received here! I love how personalized the talk was and have never talked about common interests in games with a waitstaff before! Hope to get him again!”

“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”

“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”.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Ordered the lunch Bento. Fried rice with Rock shrimp,
Also tried a sushi for the first time.
Food was excellent!!!
Fast friendly service.
Very comfortable atmosphere.
If you’re in the area, it’s definitely a great spot to try!”

“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!”

“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!!”

“After trying a flight last night I had to go back tonight to work my way through their taps. I'm happy to report that I was very happy too. The staff are wonderful. My only comment is the lighting, as the space was a bit dark. If you like experimenting with beer, then this is a must visit!
🤗🍻🔆🙋🏼”

“great bar w/ better food

After coming here over the past month I can confidently say I don’t know if I’d rather come on a Friday night for drink or a Wednesday evening just for the food both are some of the best in Kingston.”

“Stars were the Miso Ramen (I got tofu on top) and the Black Sesame Latte 🔥🔥🔥 . Pork and Chive dumplings also delish. I’m down with the casual vibes, just wish there was non-plastic dine-in utensils for hot soup. Kid friendly as long as they can sit at a high top - I assisted my 2 year old and he was fine.”

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

“Nice people, excellent atmosphere, clean and the pizza was great. Some really original slice choices. I had a basil, mushroom and banana pepper and i wish i had a second. Possibly the best crust in town.”
