6 Best Chicken Wings in Poughkeepsie

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Shirley's Soul Food, and I must say it was an experience filled with love, nostalgia, and outstanding flavors. This restaurant holds a special place in my heart as it pays homage to the chef's beloved grandmother, whose passion for cooking and dream of owning a restaurant come to life in this heartfelt establishment. From the moment I stepped inside, the warm ambiance and soulful atmosphere embraced me. Now, let's talk about the menu. Shirley's Soul Food offers a myriad of tantalizing options that cater to every craving. It's hard to choose just one favorite, but the turkey chili stole my heart. The rich, savory flavors combined with the perfect balance of spices left me wanting more with each spoonful. The mac and cheese, accompanied by tender yams and perfectly fried chicken, was a heavenly trio that danced on my taste buds. The harmony of creamy cheesiness, sweet yams, and crispy, golden chicken was an absolute delight. To complement these delectable dishes, I highly recommend trying their signature half-and-half lemonade and iced tea. The refreshing blend of citrusy tang and subtle sweetness was the perfect accompaniment to the soulful flavors of the meal. Pay them a visit, and let your taste buds embark on a journey of love and flavor!“

“Awesome food and the service is good“

“I was not expecting much, I never do anymore from anywhere i go. But it was so relieving to see how nice they were here, how clean they keep it, how communicative and put together they are when they already had a lot of orders but they did them in a timely fashion. I had a good time and I enjoyed my food today. Emily took our order and they were polite, they clearly were busy with many to go orders but they were not rude and I appreciate that.

We went around 6. It was a long drive from saugerties, but it was good. I particularly liked the boneless Jamaican jerk they have for a limited time. And my friend enjoyed his Korean BBQ boneless. Fries were good as well. Nicely seasoned, everything was perfectly cooked and delicious

I normally hate ranch. Despise dressings. But my friend got me to try the ranch he ordered and it actually was good. I still dont like ranch so i didnt like a lot at once on my chicken or the fries but i did actually like it which surprised me.“

“Had a great time with family at Kokopelli’s today! The food was amazing and the service was phenomenal!“

“Local chicken spot, can’t really say anything too bad lol. I’d done had pretty much everything on this menu lol. I mean to an outsider given it’s on the middle of main the location not the greatest but to anybody who lives here it’s just one of those places. They stay open later can’t go wrong.“

“Honestly, the pizzas from the pizza side are amazing. The food from the wings side is also amazing. The menus changed over the years and the food is still really freakin good.“
