26 Best American Restaurants in Poughkeepsie

“Crew was an outstanding dining experience. We have been to 4 cities in America over a three week period including New York and DC celebrity chef restaurants and hands down this was the best dining experience we have had during our holiday. We sat at the chef’s counter and highly recommend it - the chefs were generous with their time and it really was dinner theatre watching them prepare the incredible food. We do not get this opportunity to get up close and personal so with chefs in our own country (Australia) during a service - 5 stars for sure!“

“Great steaks“

“Great food and great staff gluten free friendly there burgers are awesome always good when we stop in never disappoints.“

“We had chef Brandon cater our daughters backyard graduation and it was outstanding. Everyone was complimenting the food, especially the jambalaya croquettes. My favorites were the chicken marsala and salmon Piccata. Everything was well-seasoned, flavorful and ready to be served when delivered. I would recommend chef Brandon for your catering needs. Thanks for a memorable party.“

“Food was phenomenal! I had chicken Mahoneys and it was to die for!“

“I am a musician that recently started performing here every Wednesday and I must say, the owners and staff treat us like we are family. The food and atmosphere are both incredible. Be sure to check this place out!“

“was there on Saturday with a friend I haven't seen in 18 years. what a great atmosphere and menu. I had the blackened Mahi sandwich and he had the tropical shrimp and Mexican corn and they were insanely delicious. Our waitress I believe was Danielle and she was a sweetheart. Service was excellent. This will be our place to eat everything I come up there. I felt like I was at the shore.“

“The previous owners were great. The current ones are nice people and trying their best to fill in the previous shoes ? Great food btw and service. 4 stars but they got an additional bonus star ? for giving me their Aloe Vera pup so I can grow my own Aloe plant ?. It's the little nice things like that is what makes me come back. ?Thanks again ?☺️ and good luck!“

“Great options for my entire family for all meals of the day.
Whether eating in the Cafe or getting take-out we're always happy with the service from the staff. My wife needs gluten free options and this is our favorite place in the area to reliably have great options.

My personal favs are an omelet with spinich, tomato, and feta cheese for breakfast or the fresh caprese sandwich (sometimes I add a burger patty) for lunch/dinner. And the homefries are AMAZING.“

“Wonderful music, food and great ambience. Highly recommended.“

“T 23 is a solid favorite of mine!
Indoor Service has always been fast, friendly and excellent for the entire length of business operations from their inception, but several times that I’ve sat outside with friends, the server has been neglectful. But other than that deficiency, indoor experiences have always been top-notch with both servers and food quality. Ambiance is that of a pub with one big open room and there’s always a lively vibe flowing about.“

“Had a Sunday morning brunch with famiy,service,food and atmosphere was a wonderful "old style" diner experience. I was impressed with the bakery selections and took A LOT of the delicious bakery items home to Pa. where they have no bakeries or people who actually know how to bake...I will be returning for visits!“

“We drove from fishkill after my mom’s chemo treatment in pok … we haven’t been here in a while because it is a drive but we were in pok and we were in the mood for different. We were very happy with the food everything was great we just weren’t happy with the service, we had to ask multiple times for Splenda, the waitress spilled the milk and I used my napkins, she never gave us extra (she had them in her apron) I had to call her over for some then she was taking the finished plates and dropped the butter knife on my mothers foot and never apologized and seen it fall and looked under the table . not sure if the waitress was a bit off her game but we decided to enjoy the food.“

“Love the place. Staff amazing ate the crab cakes. Delicious 😋 real crabmeat not stingy with the crab. You taste it and see the crabmeat when you open it up. Very flavorful. I can't wait to try the next thing on the menu when I come back to visit.“

“Great place to hang with friends“

“Excellent restaurant! Fabulous service! Incredible food! Highly recommended!“

“The food, the Friday night bands, and all of the staff !!! <3“

“Tim and the staff did a great job accommodating our large group as a last minute request during a snowstorm. We had amazing service and food. Thanks so much! We will be back when we are in town again!“

“Thank you for the lovely conversation and the yummy smoothie! Loved the green smoothie with ginger! Hope you find your earring! I’ll say some prayers for you to St Anthony!!!“

“I went on 10/22/2024 to the location on Albany Street in Poughkeepsie N.Y. Today is my mom Birthday we had a party of seven. When we arrived we were told they don't have big table for our size party. They managed to add a table. The food was a 1.5 Everyone fries were over cooked the chicken was dry not a bit of Honey was tasted on the sandwiches. Tap water warm little to barely no ice. It took over 30 minutes to receive our meals no bread sticks salad nothing offered while we waited. It was a HORRIBLE DINNER. We asked if they have any Bday specials were told No. Do you sing Happy Birthday No. Mind you we were told by the person that recommended the place said they do sing Happy Birthday. I'm starting to feel it was a racial situation. Yet we still left tips. The Family had to go find Food upon leaving. The server was great it was her second day. I wish her well“

“Waaay Back Wednesdays dope“

“I found this gem of a coffe shop ? the staff is friendly, coffe is tasty, good price and they play good music ?. Today they were playing BTS songs ! I'm ARMY and I really appreciate it ? my daughter and I love spending quality time at your coffe shop.. an oasis during the chaotic Black Friday day. Stay well ? ✨️“

“So me and my family are up here this weekend for my wife's college reunion thing and she suggested Applebee's. It's close by the college and we wanted some good food before we head back to the hotel. Our waitress was phenomenal. I can't give her enough praise, attentive, patient (there was nine of us), plus she served two other tables around us. I gotta say the food wasn't as good as I had hoped. To me it's a hit or miss with boneless or regular wings. Either they're too saucy or not enough sauce. These were too saucy and my pasta was too saucy as well. My wife complained about the chip being stale as well. The ambience was good. Wasn't too to crowded but with a big family we bring the crowd with us usually. The staff was definitely accommodating so I really enjoy that.

Kid-friendliness: This was definitely a family friendly vibe as more families were there versus single people at the bar.“

“we love ordering from Pa li ace Diner from Uber Eats Food is SO good.we ordered Turkey dinner.Very Very Good & for the price also.ty- Melody V.“

“The food was good. The waiters were very pleasant and attentive. The atmosphere was pleasant and busy on a Saturday night after the movies. We didn't realize we were the last people there until we got up and it was about 11:00pm. There is plenty of parking on the lot.“

“Good very good muy buena la comida“
