Dominican Restaurants in Poughkeepsie, NY

“Food was surprisingly delicious. Me and my family just wanted to have a quick bite to eat before heading off to NYC. Being Filipinos, we were drawn to New Nelly’s because of the rice in their menu. We honestly had zero expectations, but man! It was a treat! Their Onions and Steak with their fried rice was heaven for my 7-year old. It had some familiar flavors similar to Filipino dishes but with a very unique twist to it. We definitely recommend trying out New Nelly’s on your next trip to Poughkeepsie.“

“I gotta give props where it’s due, this spot never misses. I’m hooked on their family combo meals! the seasoning is always on point, not too salty, not too bland, just right. You can tell they know what they’re doing in that kitchen.

Delivery’s always on time, too. No drama, no missing items, no “where’s my food?” nonsense. They pull up, drop it off, and it’s still hot.

And the prices? Mad reasonable. Especially for the portions you’re getting. In a time where everybody’s charging steakhouse prices for takeout, they’re keeping it humble and worth it.

If you’re craving that real Dominican flavor without getting played on the bill, this place is it.“

“I would honestly give Danny more than a 5-star review if I could! I have been going to his restaurant for over 5 years now. The prices are great, the food is absolutely delicious, and it is my go to hot spot for a fresh, hot lunch. The roast pork, moro rice, and daily specials are always completely on point.
I read the negative reviews complaining about the service or saying the staff isn't friendly, and I think people are seriously misinterpreting things. This is a hardworking, fast paced neighborhood spot, not a corporate fast-food chain with fake, scripted smiles. When the counter staff is working hard to get your food out hot during a rush, a serious face doesn't mean a mean face!
If you actually take a moment to talk to Danny, you will see he is a genuinely good, down to earth person who cares about his community. He is human, too, and he doesn't deserve zero-star reviews just because he's real with people or having a busy day.
As for the food complaints the Dominican food here tastes exactly how it is supposed to taste. It is authentic, bold, and seasoned perfectly. If you want a real, home cooked meal made by real people at prices that can't be beat, skip the negative hype and support Danny!“
