Essie's Restaurant is a highly-recommended eatery located in the heart of Little Italy, near the Poughkeepsie train station. This cozy spot is known for its tender and flavorful ribs, which boast a citrusy and spicy kick. Chef Brandon Walker's food is nothing short of amazing, with delicious dishes like jerk ribs, shrimp and grits, and steak and eggs. The menu items are thoughtfully crafted and there are vegan options also. With fair prices and generous portion sizes, Essie's is a great place to sit down and enjoy a meal. The service is wonderful and the cocktails are divine. The restaurant also offers outside seating and a unique menu, making it a great spot to stop by for a drink or a full meal.
