“The best pizza in Dutchess County! The people that work there are so friendly, felt like we were eating at home. Also, the amazing bands they have are so much fun. Perfect for a night out with your wife or just your friends. We needed a place just like this in Wappingers.“

“Absolutely love the food here. Being from the West Coast we are always looking for authentic flavored Mexican food in NY and have been sorely disappointed by other places. Margaritas is one of the few places we found so far that has that California Mexican flavor. We love it!“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Joe Willy’s Seafood House, on Rt. 9 in Wappinger Falls and it was truly a wonderful experience from beginning to end. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the kind of place where you immediately feel comfortable and welcomed. The food was outstanding, it was fresh, flavorful, and clearly prepared with care. What made the experience especially memorable was the hospitality of the owners, Joe and Deana. Their presence and genuine warmth create something special. You don’t just feel like a customer, you feel like a guest they truly appreciate. That kind of personal touch is rare and makes all the difference. The service was attentive and friendly throughout, adding to an already exceptional evening. This is the kind of place you look forward to returning to and sharing with family and friends. Joe Willy’s Seafood House is truly a gem.“

“Louie and Nancy have created a light, great atmosphere to sit and enjoy an awesome meal with a great beverage. Loved it.“

“My husband and I stopped here for some much needed reprieve from the over-crowded establishments of Beacon on a Saturday in the fall. We had an amazing time listening to stellar music and drinking the fantastic house cocktails (he had the Holy Grail and I had the Harvest Moon -- both excellent!). The owner (or manager?) of Denning's made sure we had a place to sit and let us know that we could bring in takeout food -- which we did! Wonderful night and will definitely go again next time we're in Beacon to try the tasting room.“

“Beyond a blast every time I walk into this place! Cocktails, and service, are exceptional. Anytime I’m passing by I am always drawn in to see what Davina her crew have in store. One of my favs for sure! Cheers 🍻“

“Come experience every thing Reason & Ruckus has to offer. Food! Drinks! And Music!“

“What a fantastic place! We took a looooong hike out here to see a friend’s band play and had the best time! The food was fantastic, drinks were cold, and Lia, the owner, was super friendly and had a great vibe about her. Great atmosphere! Worth the 1 1/2 drive, we’ll be back!“

“Amazing local community watering hole! Best bar food in town. Drinks are made with love and so is the food. The bar is full of all the classic bar memorabilia that make this place feel like a Time Machine in the best way! The staff is also amazing friendly, funny and professional. One of the only places that are still cash only which add to the nostalgic vibe. Perfect place if you want to enjoy a drink without all the extra frills!“

“Such a great and friendly atmosphere to play a few games of pool or dart, good drink prices, good people and even if you’re a stranger you can feel like it’s your own local watering hole. I especially like the pool table bc it’s regulation size and of top quality. I don’t know about you but that makes a huge difference! I highly recommend Tags tavern any night or day of the week.“

“We had our wedding reception at JB’s and we can’t recommend them enough! Mark and Tracey were wonderful in helping us prepare and set everything up, and they made a typically stressful experience as easy as possible. Our guests are still raving about how delicious the food and drinks were! The wait staff was great too - our glasses were always full. We were a little nervous about the tent in October but the heaters kept it warm and toasty in there, even during a nor’easter. Plus, you really can’t beat cocktail hour on the patio - fire pits, beautiful view of the golf course, and passed apps. Highly recommend JB’s Bar & Grill / MKAT Catering for your next event!“

“Great owner bartender Karen. A must. Great place for motorcycle rescue.“

“We had a fantastic experience at Zeus Brewing while visiting from out of town. Maria, our server, was absolutely AWESOME —she picked the perfect beer flight for me, and everything she suggested was spot on. The Reuben burger was absolutely delicious, and I can't stop thinking about the peach and basil beer—it was such a unique and refreshing flavor. The hostess also gave us great recommendations for things to do while we’re in town. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!“

“Took my husband for his birthday and he enjoyed the drinks and the arcade games ! Cool spot to chill!“

“AWESOME BEER BAR! The owner and staff are friendly!Great Food! 🍺🍻“

THANK YOU ALL AND BIGGGG HUGGGS!!!“

“Really great food especially the specials. The space is a bit small but it looked like they have a spacious outdoor seating area. Their website said they don't take reservations but they give you a call when your table is ready which let us walk along Main Street for a bit! Our server was very friendly and attentive as we're the hostesses. I would definitely dine here again and keep an eye out for new specials!“

“First time here. Great spot to chill out. They had a live DJ (DJ Big Will) who was spinning some great songs for the evening. The food was good (had some cheeseburger sliders and fries) the bartender was great. I'm not a big drinker, but they had these hard ciders that were very good. Definitely a nice spot I can see coming back to.“

“The ribs and all meats are amazing , servers and managers are so great and amazing service. Absolutely have to come back. Photos might not perfect because we can’t wait to eat. It’s so delicious. The beef ribs, biscuits and pork ribs , omg.“

“Celebrated our wedding anniversary at Restaurant Six this year. Beautiful setting, great food, and excellent service. Thank you for making our day extra special.“

“The owner NAILED IT! The atmosphere is amazing, with outdoor seating on the beautiful Hudson River. The food is awesome too. I try something new each visit and am pleased every time. My guests are equally impressed. Our new favorite spot in the beautiful Hudson Valley. You will LOVE it!“

“The hostess once we entered was very prompt at seating people and was very welcoming, and our server was Ryan who was very attentive and pleasant. He asked numerous times if everything was ok and if we needed anything without being overbearing. We started with baked chopped clams oreganato and a special called stacked eggplant. The clams oreganato had just enough clams and was not over done with breadcrumb. It was well proportioned. The stacked eggplant was breaded eggplant with mozzarella, roasted red peppers and a balsamic glaze. The eggplant was breaded lightly, and the mozzarella was not overly melted. The roasted red peppers added a nice flavor, and the balsamic glaze was pungent without being overpowering. My wife got tortellini soup and let me try some. It brought back the childhood memory of when my mother used to make tortellini in broth. Anytime the cook can bring back a childhood memory he/she deserves much appreciation and respect. For the main course my wife got the broiled fish filet which was cooked to perfection. It was not dry and my wife was unable to finish the whole portion. I got the veal and shrimp Francese which was very tasteful and did not have a very heavy lemon/butter taste. The two pieces of veal looked like veal tenderloin and were very lightly breaded. For dessert we got the raspberry sorbet which tasted like fresh raspberries that were just picked from a field. I had the tartufo which was the perfect way to end a great dinner. The atmosphere was very relaxing. Make sure you make a reservation. While we were eating dinner the surrounding tables did not stay empty long. As soon as the tables were cleared and cleaned new people were brought over. Once we left it was standing room only with people waiting to be seated and the parking lot was overflowing with cars parked on the side of the street. Sorry I did not get any photos.“
