“Great place to stop and stretch your legs. They have delicious ice cream, lots of local snacks like popcorn, chips, baked goods, along with an assortment of food products like crafted cheese, butter and other food products. The local sodas and kombucha were really great and they have cold brew in cans and hot coffees and hot chocolate as well.The porta potties were very clean too!!!“

“A true wine shop in the area. Their selection of French and Italian wines is fine, curated and works for different budgets.The people who work there are attentive, friendly and knows a lot about their product.A must go to if you’re a wine snob.“
“This beer is a must have if you are remotely close. Most unique but absolutely the most delicious beer I’ve ever tasted. Awesome location, dog friendly, and great atmosphere. Pretty sure the owner was pouring beers when we were there, and that’s awesome! So interesting hearing about the farm. If you like beer or wine there’s something here you’ll love.“
“I just tried this place for the first time today. I got the Peanut Butter & Banana smoothie bowl, and wow was it tasty. The gentleman went over all the different products they have before I made my choice. I will definitely be back. Check this place out if your in the area.“

“Recently attended a weekend wedding affair. Every event was wonderful and our rooms were perfect. Able to walk from one event to the next made things so convenient .But we were particularly impressed by every staff member. From the check in to the wait staff they could not have been more professional, efficient and down right lovely to work with.“
“Staff and food are outstanding!The menu is updated regularly and seasonally, so there are new things to try.Cocktails are as good as they get!If weather permits, the patio is an excellent place for a meal and company.I highly recommend trying this place when you're in the area.“
“This was my second visit. Great place to meet with friends and listen to live music. I see a the American equivalent of a British pub, but much more colorful and cozy. Good selection of tasty comfort food, excellent service, good assortment of draft beers, pool table next to a generously sized area for bands and open mics to play. I have seen a cozy and colorful outdoor patio area, but in both of my visits the rain prevented enjoying it.Wonderful hosts!“
“DBC is so consistent with their amazing food and service that it makes it hard to go try other places when you know you will get consistency here. Great and tasty beer. Amazing burgers. So delicious fries! Appetizers all yummy. I came recently on a night with my wife and something that stood out for me that visit was when I watched one of the owners clearing a table. I made sure to make to tell them how admirable that was but so often you will see managers in other restaurants telling others to clean while they stand and watch them. The fact that the owners help out on the small tasks means how invested they are with their staff and business. We just asked my 4 year old last night what his favorite restaurant is and he said with confidence Dutchess Bier Cafe! Not sure if you’re aware but 4 year olds are picky eaters and he loves their burgers, fries, and makes sure that he can get the malt vinegar aioli! Thank you for being consistent but truly amazing!Kid-friendliness: My boys 4 and 7 love going and eating their Lil Dutchies!“
“I was in Fishkill for a doctor's appointment and it was a hot day so I was looking for a small ice cream place. I was sitting in the CVS parking lot and trying to look on my phone and it kept telling me I was already there. Which I thought was very funny. So I drove around to the back of the plaza to see what stores were open and all the way in the back was this Carnival ice cream shop. The owner was there. He was a very personable older gentleman .He said he makes 3/4 of the ice cream himself. The other ice cream comes from Perry's which is also a good brand. His prices are reasonable maybe even slightly lower than other places locally. He told me his mint chip was the best in the area so I took his word for it. I got a kiddie size mint chip with rainbow sprinkles. It was really tasty! He also does ice cream cakes and has plenty made to go that he can just initialize it for you with whatever you want to say and out you go. He also has individualize little ice creams. You can buy a 12 pack of mini ice creams or mini desserts for very reasonable price. Check out his store and see all the ice cream options that he has. It's a local place he's been there for years so give him some business. But you have to go all the way to the back of the plaza where the Gold's Gym is. So go have a workout and then go get ice cream! LOL. I will be back there in two weeks for my next doctor's appointment who is right across the street so I will make another visit.“
“Average looking deli. VERY friendly staff - attentive, polite, and makes you feel at home. There was a hot buffet in addition to the menu as well as a special listed on a placard (Jack in the Box) which I got. The place was clean and quiet - just the way I like it. Food was as expected. Mac n cheese bites were pretty much trash - you could tell they came out of a frozen bag. Burger was good - not too big not too small. Came with onions and pickles - perfect! Fries were crispy and delicious. I really liked that they gave ketchup AND ranch with the meal. The special was a smallish burger, fries, Mac n cheese bites, and a drink - all for $8.69. A bargain in this area. I left feeling satisfied and I know I'll be back. They lost a star for the Mac n cheese bites. They should serve up some tostones or baked beans or something. Not enough to chase me away though...“
“Met another couple there who travel probably about 40 miles to this place when they can! I had the gorgonzola shrimp which was light and amazing (be sure to get extra bread for the sauce!) And for main course Veal Parmesan which was so tender and amazing! The canoli to finish it off was fresh and crispy shell! Definitely going back!?“
“Whenever I have a special occasion or am charged with "bring a dessert" I love going to The Cakery. They have a wide variety of cakes, cupcakes, cookies, bars, cake pops, and cake balls. Their bakers are real artists who will work with you to create the perfect cake (cookie or traditional) that are as pretty to look at as they are to eat. It's tucked away in a shopping plaza so it can be easy to miss. It's worth the trip. My personal favorites: their bars (cheesecake, brookies) and cake balls (cookie dough is fabulous). Highly recommend if you want a sweet treat for yourself or a special event.“

“Absolutely love Joe's Dairy Bar! I can't get enough of their delicious ice cream - it's simply the best! It's no surprise that this place is always buzzing with people, but the service is still top-notch. Their burgers and sandwiches are equally fantastic; they've got something for everyone. Joe's Dairy Bar is definitely my go-to spot for a satisfying meal and a sweet treat. Highly recommend!“
“I used Blondies hot bagels and bait to cater breakfast and lunch for my wedding party while we got ready. Not only does Rosemarie make beautiful bagel and sandwich platters, but she went above and beyond and added touches of flowers to my trays to match my wedding colors. I highly recommend for any event, or just for a quick bite to eat!“
