“During my 30 year career in the United States military I have had the opportunity to taste some delicious cuisine from incredible restaurants around the world. I am so happy to have found Empire Jamaican Fusion in Poughkeepsie, that in my opinion is a World Class experience. The food was amazing, the Coustomer service was outstanding, the atmosphere was wonderful, and the price was right! I highly recommend everyone who is near to this location, make time to go visit this incredible restaurant first chance you get. I definitely will be back as soon as possible…HOOAH!

“Golden crust is a must visit. Me and my family have been eating here for 20+ years. Their food is amazing. The harmony of textures and rich, layered flavors their food has is amazing. They always have exceptional service and has an inviting atmosphere. Do yourself a favor and stop by for some bomb carribean food. You won't regret it!!!!“

“Steam fish meal is the best and carrot juice“

“Definitely recommend if you’re in the area!“

“If you want great tasting, authentic Jamaican food, Sophia’s Homestyle Café is the place to go!! They have amazing homemade juices/punch such as, carrot punch, peanut punch, sorrel, Irish moss, carrot juice, and beet root juice. Some of my favorite foods from Sophia’s Homestyle Café includes, peanut porridge, carrot porridge, the fried chicken, the stew, peas, the goat soup, fried dumpling and with ackee and salt fish,and brown stew fish with rice and peas… The list truly could go on, but I think you get the drift! Lol! If you haven’t done so already, I highly recommend you check out Sophia’s Honestyle Cafeé #ILoveSophiasHomestyleCafé 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲“

“Great Caribbean food, and very neat. Always a positive great atmosphere when I go there.“

“I ordered curry goat and jerk chicken on Doordash today and it was delicious! This is the best curry goat I've had since moving to PK (I've tried most of the Jamaican restaurants in the area at this point). Keep up the great work guys!“

“Oh what a lovely experience! There are little gifts for the Who-fandom scattered throughout the space, which is so welcoming and airy. I spent ages just looking around and fangirling! The person who took our orders was so sweet and so knowledgeable and we loved everything we ordered. They have vegan, vegetarian and GF options so it’s really inclusive. The teas are delicious - we had the Jammy Dodger and it was just perfection. Such a special experience! I can’t wait to go back!“

“The j*** chicken is simply the best chicken I’ve ever tasted. Just perfect enough smoke. Don’t expect fancy decor, this place is all about the food.“

“THIS FOOD IS BUSSIN !!! 😭 I tried it for the first time and had to get it again literally the day after. And it’s no worries when you go in to get your food, everyone is laid back and extremely polite. KEEP IT UP ROYAL BLENDS I LOVE YALL !!!“

“Nice little spot and the food is delicious 😋“

“Friendly family vibes at this Jamaican counter-serve eatery within steps of Poughkeepsie train station.

Order a small, medium or large platter with choice of main and select sides. Goat Curry, with rice and beans, mac n’ cheese and cabbage — solid though served a bit more room temperature than desired. Other mains include fried and jerk chicken, oxtails.

Selection of Jamaican beef patties ready for grab-n-go.“

“I've been getting food from here since 2011-2012, food has ALWAYS been THEE BEST! Oxtail, Jerk chicken, Curry goat, Rasta pasta. Absolutely delicious! I used to pay $14 for a large oxtail with rice and beans. Over time, the medium became the large and the small became the medium. I was upset to see that also the prices skyrocketed. A large is now $30 which is only a medium but prices every where has gone up. I just bought some oxtail and curry goat tonight for dinner and the food is great and it's a decent amount of food for the price, given the times we're in. Everything else is great, the people that work there, the food is amazing, the atmosphere is nice, very cozy.“

“The shrimp Rasta pasta is really so good also the Mac and cheese .. But I can’t say the same abt the oxtail plate I got with rice and peas and yams …. Expensive dish to only get 4 small oxtails .. the yams was flavorless the best thing was rice peas even tho it coulda some more gravy. But I’m willing to always give another chance“

“The Food. Pretty Hostess. The Cook is Great. Staff. Tell them " Larry " sendt cha. Mon.“

“I am always please with the food you definitely get your moneys worth and the food is delicious and also the customers service is excellent.“
