“What a lovely spor right here in Middletown. Possibly the cleanest restaurant I have eaten in, and kind,friendly, patient humans running the place. Go have dinner, you will not be sad :)”
“Finally got to Hook & Reel!! Great vibe, great food! We sat at the bar and enjoyed Danielle’s company. Rob, was an incredible insight to the short history of this restaurant and is wonderful. We chatted about the history of this type of venue in Middletown and how to survive. He gets it. While chatting, his head was on a swivel, watching his guests and crew. Rob spoke so highly about his crew, you would think they were family. I am so glad I went and enjoyed the family atmosphere. Well done team!!”
“Wonderful place wonderful space beautiful circular tap room. Nice brutalist with incredibly detailed and exquisite descriptions. They don’t have flights but you can get 4 ounce pores of several different bruise so it’s similar to having a flight plus they have smoked wings, barbecue brisket and pulled pork and a variety of other Tantalizing menu items. Definitely worth a try if you’re in Middletown. Drop your car off at the dealership (like I did.( The deal dealership provides a ride over from the dealership So you can get lunch and then call you and come get you after your car is done! Definitely worth the trip!”
“our food was delicious and quick to the table. if you like Korean BBQ and the likes, this is the place for you.”

“I went to outbacks for the steak special on 3/23 that I seen on TV for $14 baked potatoes salad or soup & cheese cake the server said not here its 19$ then also I didn't know the restaurant offered a senior discount I just saw it on my phone to give my review why is the special only in certain cutbacks? That's mis-¹ representation the proce should be the same in all Outback Restaurants im 80 years old and I should of been aware in the restaurant of a senior discount by the way I enjoyed the dinner”

“We had our wedding here on 10/4/25 and it was absolutely incredible! The venue itself was gorgeous and had such a great charm to it. All of our guests couldn’t stop complimenting us on how great it really was. Our photographer kept saying how good a place to take photos it was. Obviously we had high expectations for this night and it was exceeded. My wife said that it was so much better than she had ever dreamt it could be. The staff went above and beyond and made our special day as stress free as can be. Elaina and Steven were fantastic! Everyone was, but unfortunately I only wrote down those two names so apologies to anyone else who may have been working this event but THANK YOU to everyone. Friendly and patient staff I can’t recommend this place enough. The food was incredible and the beers were cold. They accommodated us so well and we are extremely thankful. If you’re looking for a place to host an event this is it! Or if you’re just looking to grab a drink and a bite this is also the place to go. Thank you to everyone at Clemson for making this the best night of our lives!!”

“Seriously such an amazing place to go! The quality of the fish is super fresh, service is amazing, and I do not feel parent shamed bringing my toddler in there. Usually get stared at when I’m out to eat with my family if my son throws his sippy cup. They are super nice and we have always felt welcomed”
“We were visiting family in the surrounding area. It was our first time in the Middletown area and before we went we had the impression of it being kind of a backwoods small town without much going on. Therefore, I have to say that finding this restaurant was a really big surprise. Not only were the food and service great but it was quite authentic and not your typical Americanized Mexican food. I don’t claim to be a Mexican food expert but I have had many business trips to Mexico. The food they served was definitely freshly made. Not overly cheezed up like most other “Mexican” restaurants across the US. The lady was also very friendly.
We ordered all different flavors of their agua fresca in large cup size, and they came in these huge soup takeout containers 😄 and they tasted so good.”
“I drive 8 hours to Middletown from NC to eat this coconut chicken ( and also see my family but one is way more important )… it’s so delicious and can’t really be found anywhere else. Go here order coconut chicken and be happy. I really want the recipe so I don’t have to only eat this once a year or so…”
“Absolutely incredible! Spicy Crab Meat Roll, California Roll, and Salmon Roll were so fresh and tasty, perfect rice and rolled very well! Their gyoza is unlike any gyoza I've had, very fresh tasting pork with a more mild flavor, with a lightly spicy sauce and crispy outside. Perfect! Crab Rangoon are great, and Crispy Sesame Chicken is cooked perfectly, and the sauce is superb. Not overloaded with sugar like some other places. Best Japanese food around”
“Food made with love and care and the price is right most tacos are only tres dollars that’s three for all you gringos it’s nice on the wallet and keeps the belly happy at the same time generous portions and everything cooked to perfection except for the steak can be a little dry. I would pick the lengua aka ox tongue a lot more tender and juicy if you go the bovine route. The enchiladas with mole was bomb and the chile relleno is to die for that’s green chilies fried and battered with a cheesy filling. And don’t get me started on the rice and beans and next door you got rock fantasy after a meal you can go to the pinball arcade what a perfect date”
“I really didn't have any expectations at first. But the lady here is amazingly sweet. A man came in with no money and fed him. She said she does it a lot because people have to eat. She better than she gave full meals i would've given an egg roll and some water. Food was really good taste like old school Chinese food. And she had some banging crap sticks my favorite.”
“Ended up here after being disappointed by other Chinese food spots in the area. I’ve ordered from them twice now and the food is by far superior to the other places around Middletown. The family who runs it is also very pleasant. Come here if you want actually good and consistent Chinese food!”
“I want to preface this by saying I love Olive Garden! It’s one of my favorite restaurants, and I have never had a bad experience there until today.
Everything was fine…quite literally. Our waitress Kya was very polite and attentive. She took our order and made sure to update us on when we should expect our salad and appetizer. Our salad, breadsticks and appetizer came out promptly. But my best friend and I quickly noticed that every ten minutes or so our waitress and other waitstaff would come to our table to check on us. It was rather excessive, however, their constant checking in was being fueled by their aggressive manager Miranda.
The way Miranda spoke to her staff was jarring, abrupt, inconsiderate, uncomfortable, and rude. She could be heard from the kitchen making the dining experience unnecessarily awkward. Her staff handled her behavior professionally. My best friend and I asked our waitress if she was alright. Her response was professional and passive.
My sympathy and empathy goes to the staff and I sincerely hope this was a one-off situation. Nobody deserves to be spoken to or treated unjustly. One piece of (unwarranted) advice to Miranda: to be a good leader is to know it’s more effective and impactful to praise your staff in public, and coach your staff in private.”
“Recently we reviewed service from a young man Monty.Monty was polite, courteous n made us comfortable by meeting our needs.Monty is an asset to Chills. Go Monty!”

“Great food, kind staff, fun environment! Always visit when I’m in the area”
“I had the pleasure of being at Destefano's for a bridal shower this past weekend. The food was amazing, the atmosphere cozy and the staff was so friendly - although it was their day off, they served with bright smiles and were very accommodating. I would definitely recommend them for dinner or catered party. Thank you!”

“We have eaten here many times and love it so much! The ingredients are super fresh, the flavors and combinations are expertly put together, and the owner is a true showman who clearly loves the food and sharing it with the community. The danish dog is my favorite, and my husband loves the Italian sausage with onions. Even the basic chili dog is better than average, and his inventive sauces add so much flavor to the dogs that they can’t be replicated anywhere else. The building is small and it’s crowded and dingy and sometimes smoky inside, but we truly feel that it adds to the charm and makes the experience even more unique. Just go - you’ll be so glad you did!”

“My husband and I ordered arroz con gandules(rice with peas) with bistec encebollado(steak stew with onions) and plátano maduro(sweet plantain). This plate was amazing and I’m extremely picky with my Puerto Rican food, not many people can do it like you can at home but Cuchifrito got it right.. It tasted just like home, flavor, flavor, flavor🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷”
“Caputo’s chicken cutlet gets a 6/10—mediocre when fresh, with a buffalo chicken taste that clashed with the veggies, but oddly better when cold. Their pizza’s solid, a go-to for me, but the rice and beans were bland yet still satisfying. Reliable spot, but not without its flaws.
I always get it delivered”
“Great atmosphere, I do enjoyed the dancing 💃 and karaoke 🎤. We so needed a place close by have fun and laughs. Not to mention all this and amazing food and drinks!”

“Been coming here for years. Actually love this diner by far. Today was the worst. I previously put in my review about today’s visit to the Americana so I won’t put it in again. I just want to clarify that I would always give this place 5 stars except for today. Had a sloppy and somewhat ride waitress that didn’t even get the whole order right and it wasn’t much that we ordered. Had to also be someone different or stingy cooking today because my BLT had more tomatoes and lettuce than it did bacon. Seriously??? TODAY I GICE A 2 STAR , and never want that sloppy somewhat rude waitress again.”
“Just had lunch at Copper Barn. Had the avocado soup....soooo good!! My husband and I both had a turkey BLT on a panini. Took half of mine home so I could have a piece of their sour cream coffee cake (the best!). With all that said, the icing on the cake was the server, Shanelle. She was informative, personable and sweet with a great sense of humor!!! Thank you Shanelle and Copper Barn for a great lunch!!😊😊”
“Ordered for pick up & when I got there, 2 customers were waiting at the p/u area and 2 were waiting to order. So not crazy busy for a Sunday morning at 10:30. Customers ordering at the register were waited on promptly. The other couple and I were not even acknowledged. Other to go orders were packed up and while there were 3 people we could tell were working up front only 1 stayed up front to pack another order- while the 3 of us were still standing there waiting for our orders which were sitting on the back counter, ready. Not on the pick up counter. It took me speaking up to even be noticed. Surely enough that was my order that had been sitting there the whole time. And finally the other couple got theirs as well. Please acknowledged when someone is standing there, on either side. Kindly tell the other person you'll be with them shortly. Then everyone feels seen and their food doesn't get cold while hanging out unable to be picked up.
Also, unless you're across the street and able to see the awning, it's not really easy to see your shop. No signage on the front door if coming from New Middletown direction on the same side of the street.”
“I drive truck and was in Middletown ny for a delivery. Looking up food delivery in that area and found Taco Factory...ordered street tacos and they were as good as I've ever had...delivered to me hot, fresh and awsome...the owner took my order and delivered to me. Very nice and personable...when in this area I will be sure to order again. HIGHLY RECOMMEND You give them a try.”
“Ordered chicken & lamb over rice and like others have mentioned you have to wait. Not like other places that serve you pre made stuff right away and I gotta say, the wait was worth it. Great food, reasonable prices and Mohamed makes you feel like you’re a friend right away. Would recommend and will be coming back.”
“Our family was looking last minute for a place to have a family dinner to celebrate our daughter’s ninth birthday after our original reservation fell through at another place. Pelligrinos is our favorite pizza spot so I called them. It was 5:30PM on a Friday night and I asked if they could accommodate our party of nine at 7:00. They were happy to prepare a table for us! I was shocked. They brought us the most incredible plate antipasto and placed it in front of our daughter and said happy birthday! Then we have the most delicious apps, pizza and an incredible pasta special for dinner. We couldn’t have been happier! They then brought complimentary fried dough for dessert for the table! What an incredible experience! We were so grateful that they not only came to our rescue at that late hour, but they went above and beyond to make sure we had a great night. If you want a five star experience with both food and service, go to Pelligrinos!”
“Nice place for breakfast. It would be even nicer if the waitresses didnt steal your change. I never pay cash because if I pay cash unless its exact amount I can forget about getting back any coin change. They round it off to the nearest dollar always to their benefit. Apparently the patrons there dont tip very well so they take matters in their own hands....it is called petty larceny....good food though”
“Anytime we come to Red Lobster we wait for a table in Jeanine’s section. She is the best waitress who provides personalized service and makes us feel special! And the food is good too, lol.”
“i used to come here with my ex years ago. i haven't been here in four years and finally went back today with a friend. it is JUST as good as i remember it. one comment: the zucchini strings used to be a spiralized zucchini instead of a cut zucch, and i would seriously recommend bringing that back. the long strings were awesome. i've never seen that anywhere else. anyway, fire.”
Cheap Eats
“Great find you know I love my sec bagels and this one is in the top for sure. I think they may make your own bagels but don't hold me to that. The pancakes are fluffy and perfect golden brown. Made to order and some grab and go options little corner store with a quality deli.”
“There is literally nothing bad that can be said about Ruben Jrs. Their tacos are amazing, simple, inexpensive and loaded. I have been to other taco spots around the mid Hudson area and by far Rubens is my favorite. My gf and I plan on going there for our 1 yr anniversary. Sounds crazy if you've ever been in the place, cuz it's literally a few shelves of product, a long counter for dine in and usually pretty hot, but those tacos ... Best in southern NY, if you ask me. Rubens has been featured on our Facebook and Instagram stories more times than I can count.
I have been getting tacos from them for the past 7 or so years, and plan on continuing that as long as I possibly can.
They are cash only, but have an ATM on site, and if that one's down there is one next door.”
“You You is simply the best! I live over 45 minutes away from this restaurant and will go nowhere else for Chinese cuisine! The staff are amazing (especially our favorite waiter Jason), the owners Francine, Louis and their son make you feel son make you feel so appreciated and welcome in their restaurant. Our visit always starts in the bar for a traditional drink - Zombies (did I mention how amazing the drinks are?!) then off to a nice table for a most delicious dinner! You You is modern, yet keeps so many traditions of an older type Chinese restaurant. You You will always be my number one destination!”
“We loveee La Michoacana! The ferrero rocher and gansito ice cream are amazing! My girls love the chicle ice cream as well. The service is always quick and everyone is very friendly. This is definitely the place for your next craving! There is something for everyone.”
“Love all the food I've had there, but the appetizer for the roasted duck is a rip off tastes great but is basically 1 leg shredded at best for around $15. Expected some form of sliced duck this was not I get it's an appetizer but could have ordered 2 sets of gyoza for the same price or 2 orders of any shrimp appetizer and had way more food for basically the same price.”
“savita is a great bartender. food was delicious and reasonably priced. highly recommend.”
“So I gave my word that I'd give an honest review and here it is... I've been visiting this establishment for some time now, and I can honestly say the food has stayed consistent with is quality. I usually go here when I'm in the neighborhood and only for the halal plate. It's the closest to me and taste wise the closest to what I've had living out in bk. Great portion size, with subtle flavors that's not overpowering. The cold sandwiches are good as well, they don't skimp on the meats they're packed with your choice of ingredients. The service is great, the cashier has this infectious aura which is contagious and you can't help but to always want to see her when you visit😍😍. The atmosphere is cool, well kept location, clean and everything you'd need or expect from a deli.. thanks Farmers Deli & Grill for proving great food and service in the community!!!”

“I have been coming to Carmines once a month for 2 years after visiting a sick friend that lives in Middletown. John is a special sweet person who serves up the best basic chocolate covered donuts that I have had in 20 years…modern donuts taste more like cake today, his are classic, filling, and beautifully rich!”
“A welcome addition to Hudson Valley NY menu changes just enough to keep it interesting and the food is always prepared and presented correctly wait staff are congenial and helpful if needed interesting and eye appealing inside with plenty of room for all diners”
“If you want authentic Szechuan style that's the place to be. Today was our third time there and so far we are very pleased with the quality. We ordered cumin beef, shredded pork with green hot pepper and a tofu and pork belly dish. They are all very tasty with distinct layers of flavors that blend so well. Will definitely go back and try the rest!”
“Is absolutely amazing, I would say it’s rated the best food in Orange County. They have all varieties of food, and all the specialties are delicious. Customer service is absolutely excellent place is clean and the food is consistent with the recipe.”

“We’ve had dinner here a few times & each time everything has been great! Whenever we want to have a diner food experience where everyone can get what they want instead of choosing an Italian restaurant, Chinese, etc this is our go to! Last night was a great experience as well! It’s really like an upscale diner for sure! We’ve never had cocktails here (yet!) but the bar is huge & beautiful!”

“Just ran in to grab a coffee. Had to place the order on a screen and waited till it came up. Not sure why they ask for your name or give you a number when they just said what the coffee was. So I almost didn't realize it was mine. So it's not bad just not very personable. But I get it in the am and being in a rush people don't have time and can be grumpy. My coffee was good and just the way I ordered 😌 ☺️ so thats a win for me.”
