“Peekskill needed a place like Peekskill Public for a long time. Great bar area, lots of TVs (with the NFL package), and a growing selection of cheaper domestics and still-affordable craft beers and cocktails. The dining room is smaller but that's because there is a large pool table (takes dollars), a professional grade shuffleboard table and four dart boards with great lighting and score machines. Plus the newly expanded outdoor seating with private areas and fans...even a big outdoor TV in the lounge area. It's pretty great and the staff is very sweet and professional.Kid-friendliness: It's a time of day thing, it is a bar after all, but our kid loves being in the dining room with all the screens and people playing the games. Just lots to watch.“
“I ordered the porchetta sandwich. It looked better than it tasted. The ciabatta was not a true ciabatta and did not go with the sandwich. The porchetta was just crisped up pork belly and was skimpy on the portion considering the price of the sandwich. The waitress said I can substitute the fries for any of the sides but didn't state there would be an upcharge. There was tiny fine print under the sandwiches that says they'll be an upcharge but it's very easy to overlook. I opted for the warm cabbage side which was very tasty and would order again.My friend ordered the beet salad and that looked amazing. I'd suggest trying that and if I go again I'll order that instead.Lastly, the water glass had lipstick on it. I wasn't wearing any. When I asked for a fresh and clean water glass, there was no acknowledgement about the lipstick, even after I pointed it out. That was unprofessional, in my opinion as a former waitress and bartender.Overall, will I go back? Eventually, yes but it's towards the bottom of the list of things to do.“
“Firehouse Grille, oh what a thrill! With beer towers high, and wings that thrill, Fireman's ice tea, a blaze of delight, In the heart of New York, a beacon at night. Burgers so juicy, they'll make you cheer, Flames of flavor, from far and near. Sip on brews tall, reaching for the stars, In this culinary inferno, where taste buds spar. With each bite and sip, a fiery dance, At Firehouse Grille, take a chance. So if you seek a culinary spree, Come to Firehouse Grille, where taste runs free!“
“The breakfast there is the ideal and classic NY diner style. The food is always hot, and cooked to perfection, not under seasoned, not over seasoned. Their use of oil and butter is also great, as it is not too greasy but just enough to add texture and be used as a cooking agent. Pancakes are great, and the eggs, bacon and sausage are all great as well. Home fries are what I would consider ideal, not to greasy or over seasoned, but crunchy on the outside and stuff on the inside. The atmosphere is what you would expect at a classic dinette, small and cozy. The aesthetic tastefully combines modern with the 50s "lunch car" decorum. The service is very good and all the waiters/waitresses we're very attentive and kind. Would definitely recommend.“
“Had a great time. First time there with the new owners. Very pleasantly surprised. The food was fantastic. Chef was fantastic and a very good cook and the wait staff were highly professional. I give this place a 9/10. Thank you for a wonderful time. JTL“
“I took my daughters there for a 7 year old birthday party. It was cool for the kids, and the pizza was good. I would have liked some more game options, especially since they have a sports bar section for adults. They also have an axe throwing setup as well. Part of this place is under renovation. I would definitely go back for an adult night out after renovations are complete. Looks like it may be even more fun.“
“Great dive bar that I stopped at spontaneously after walking around Peekskill. Ordered the French Onion soup and a cheeseburger with fries. Food was great (although I prefer swiss cheese on my F.O.S. and not provolone) and the bartender was very nice, too. It was fun chatting with her. The place was empty (for lunch anyway) but I didn't mind as I don't like crowds. It was me and another guy at the bar. He was annoying but she handled him well. I'm guessing this is more of a nighttime hangout, but I definitely liked the vibe here.“
“Me & my friend went and ordered the mangu con Los tres golpes w/cafe con leche… it was perfect. The place is a bit run down but the food was so good it didn’t matter! Only downside is, I can never seem to get through to them on the phone, it goes dead. So it is impossible to place orders by phone ahead of time.“
“My husband and I went for Valentine's Day dinner. I booked a reservation on Open Table, at least I thought I did! The staff could not find it; but they were gracious, and immediately seated us. But not too gracious, when my husband asked if we could be seated in one of the larger booths, we were told "no, they were reserved". Of course, three of them remained empty the entire time we were there. The food: it was nice that we had the option of ordering from the special Valentine's day menu, or from the regular menu. I had the wonderful beet salad, and the maple burger, which was cooked perfectly. Sadly, my French fries were an embarrassment to any restaurant that has ever served fries! Overcooked, lukewarm- terrible! My husband ordered from the Valentine's menu, started with a salmon sushi, which he Ioved, and his cocoa beef entree was excellent, and he can be picky.He also enjoyed his brownie sundae, I did not try it (chocolate allergy). My sticky toffee pudding, which I've had here before, was as excellent as I remembered it. Our waitress was attentive and friendly, and put up with my husband's grilling her (we learned that she has a golden retriever). Overall, a very nice meal, but please Birdsall House, fix those Fries!“
“Great place to eat if you've got some time! Food takes a while to come out (45 minutes, even with two tables of customers), but is delicious. Partner had the Mahi Mahi, and I had the jerk ribs. Coconut shrimp starter (3 pieces) and cocktail were both great. Jerk lamb had a little heat, you could definitely ask for more. If food came put a little quicker this place would certainly be 5 stars.“
“WOWThis was a huge surprise. I was visiting a customer in Peekskill New York, and pulled over to grab a small bite to eat from a food truck. I pulled into the lot and noticed there was a big line. When I got on line there were a lot of regulars talking about what they were going to order. I asked one of them what they would recommend, and they said you cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. They were so right.I got an order of taco's. You got to pick any three taco's you wanted. and the order came with hand cut fries, and this amazing lime aioli. I had a chorizo, fish, and chicken taco. They might have been the best I ever had. After I finished I had to tell the owner how great the food was. He happened to be the nicest guy, and was truly happy to hear that I thoroughly enjoyed his food. He makes all of his food fresh daily, and makes his own chorizo.I went home that night, and told my son about the truck. That weekend I stopped by again, this time with my son and his fiance. Octavio remembered me right away. We ordered a braised short rib grill cheese on Texas toast, a Cuban sandwich that he made with his own smoked pulled pork, and his home made empanada's. All three of us were amazed with his food.My son was getting married in three weeks, and we had rented an Airbnb for the weekend, and were throwing a rehearsal dinner for about 40 people the night before the wedding. We had already planned on having it catered, but my son mentioned why don't we do something different, and see if Octavio would bring his food truck to the Airbnb instead of using a caterer. It wound up being fantastic. We spoke with Octavio, and picked five items off the menu to serve that night. Everyone at the party raved about the food, and Octavio surprised us at the end by serving his home made caramel stuffed churro's with chocolate sauce.If you love great food, you must give him a visit...“
