20 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Poughkeepsie

“Went above and beyond when my husband ordered me a gluten free lettuce wrapped burger. Asked him if it was a sensitivity or allergy, when he replied allergy they stopped production of all other burgers to make mine so it would have no contact trace. Not to mention their fries are always gluten free. So very grateful to be able to get safe food for my celiac disease while getting take out!“

“very good food and good staff“

“Such a good place for pre dinner snacks. Try it all! Great people and food 🥰“

“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.“

“We love it…. so many options“

“I’ve been here several times and the staff is always friendly and fast. When I come in on the weekends Aiden is always friendly and a great worker. The restaurant is clean, and my sandwiches are made exactly how I order them. Great customer service and a good experience every time“

“Everyone is unbelievably nice❤️“

“Excellente😉 muy buenos!!!“

“They could clean bit more the Countess didn’t look to clean“

“This is easily the best Taco bell in the area. I work at the local Kia dealership and walk in here a few times a week minimum. They're very polite, timely, and the food comes out HOT! I never get the same experience at the other locations in the area anymore. I order on the Kiosk, and they have never missed anything I changed or added. I spoke with the general manager a few times, and the gentleman at the drive through register. Nice people. Would recommend.“

“Consistently good subs! Staff is friendly and courteous.“

“I’ve been to a lot of McDonald’s locations over the years, but this one honestly stands out above the rest for one huge reason: they actually bring your drinks to the table. It might sound like a small detail, but if you’re a parent, you know it’s a total game-changer. At pretty much every other McDonald’s, you order your food, sit down, get the kids settled, and then you have to get up again to go fill the drinks. Meanwhile, you’re leaving your kids at the table alone even if it’s only for a minute. It always feels unsafe and stressful, especially when the place is busy or you have little ones who get nervous when you walk away.

Here, you don’t have to deal with any of that. You place your order, find your seat, and they not only bring the food to the table but also bring the drinks. If you need a refill, they take care of that too. You get to sit with your kids the entire time, keep an eye on them, and actually enjoy your meal without constantly getting up. It’s honestly such a relief, and it makes the whole dining experience smoother and way more relaxing.

On top of that, the staff at this McDonald’s is consistently friendly, quick, and respectful. They actually look like they care about providing good service, which is something you don’t see everywhere. The place is clean, the food is fresh, and orders come out exactly how they should.

It might seem funny to write a long review about McDonald’s, but this location deserves it. When a fast food place makes parents feel safer and more comfortable—especially by doing something as thoughtful as handling the drinks—it makes a huge difference. I’ll go out of my way to come to this McDonald’s over any other one in the area. Easily a 5-star experience every time.“

“The women at this Wendy’s HUSTLE. They are fast, efficient and friendly. The woman who manages can be a little abrasive but my guess is she is over worked and severely underpaid so I don’t blame her. I appreciate the hustle here and can see them working hard.“

“So I had a really long day of doing deliveries and I was about to do my last deliver but my phone died which I needed to complete my delivery. I had no charger and realized I was also hungry and I saw the golden arches. I walked in and the place was very busy and was greeted by lovely woman named ayesha. I asked her if there was any possible way someone had a charger I could use to charge my phone while I eat my dinner. She not only plugged my phone in for me and kept an eye on it, she made sure my order was correct and was very courteous and caring while managing the dinner rush. I finished my meal which hit the spot and my phone had just enough charge to get me to my next delivery. I have worked in the restaurant business for over 20 years and was so impressed by how she managed the floor with elegance and kindness. Not only did I leave happy, she helped me so I could also finish my work and go home not stressed. She really runs the place well and definitely deserves a raise. It really meant a lot to me.“

“Consistently good subs! Staff is friendly and courteous.“

“Sunday nite about 1230am going thru drive thru ordered two number 4's. Somehow person listening to order understood 4 diet cokes. At window for pickup girl had attitude like I ordered incorrectly. Order corrected but girl still had major attitude. Slammed window door when retrieving order. Handed bag of food over in aggressive manner.“

“Lori S. helped me extremely hard making a long sandwich (6 inches i think?) (footlong she thinks???) She then smeared the mayo onto my footlong and I enjoyed it heavily. She wanted to do more for me, but a sandwich was all I needed. Never seen any better cervix (service?) ever. She was incredibly hot, maybe add an air conditioner? I will definitely be back for me if you know what I mean? She made me eat what she was making on a dirty table also.“

“A solid local subway. The inside is really nice and spacious with plenty of seating options (high tops, tables, and booths) and everything is clean. Sandwiches are great with perfect soft bread and fresh ingredients. Service is fast and friendly. No complaints here.“

“Love the pretzels and staff is very friendly. I always make sure I stop by when I'm in the Galleria. Can't get enough of the cinnamon pretzels!“
