    Alex's Restaurant

    Visiting from Hershey, PA.. we had a delicious spinach salad, topped with the tastiest baked salmon and delicious sweet apples and pears, feta cheese & walnuts & yummy dressing.. delicious double patty burger, tasty home fries.. and the rice pudding was a great dessert to top off a FINE dining experience. The owner and entire staff were so friendly and welcoming..our server Michelle was outstanding and so helpful in helping us order at a restaurant we had never been to before. We can't wait to come back!!!! Lots and lots of great menu choices !!!!! The seating was very comfy... my husband and I sat across from each other, each of us on a comfy love seat. Bonnie Mallit P.S. if visiting near Poughkeepsie don't miss this great restaurant

    Seating

    This place was clean and comfortable. Had breakfast there while my spouse was having a procedure at the hospital nearby. Food was good, prices reasonable, and the wait staff very friendly and on top of things. Has a diner menu, bit not a diner. Breakfast, brunch, lunch place. Plenty of seating, even booths/sofas.

    They were HOPPING on a Saturday afternoon for brunch/ lunch. Got seated quickly at the counter and had excellent, friendly service. Absolutely fabulous gluten free options for both breakfast and lunch. Street parking was readily available.

    AVOCADO & PESTO MELT

    Delightful little spot if you're looking for lunch. Good service and atmosphere and I would go again.

    Matzo Ball Soup (1/2 container) & Chicken Soup - full of chicken!

    I called for delivery (only $1 in City of Pok!) and it was fast and the delivery woman was well kept, nice, and polite. She seemed surprised and happy when I tipped her. I ordered the Chicken soup and the Matzo Ball soup. Both are excellent. Great flavor and not too salty. The price is reasonable as well. I will be going back to Alex's to try other things on the menu. 5

    Alex's is a Poughkeepsie staple and never disappoints. No matter how busy they are, the waitresses hustle and are always friendly. The Eastman (breaded chicken, cheese, lettuce, tomato, ranch) is my favorite and the french fries are top notch. The coffee is fresh and excellent and on a "splurge" day, the mimosa is event better. I overheard the mention of milkshakes. Saving that for my next visit ;)

    Down the block from the Bardovon theater on the corner of Market and Main Street, in Poughkeepsie, sits Alex's restaurant. It's been there for over 110 years. But, it doesn't look it. When you walk in, you get this hygge vibe. Maybe, it's the greeting from behind the register, the way it's set up, or that there's a lot of regulars there. The menu isn't an encyclopedia. Which is nice, it's less confusing that way. The service is excellent and the food delicious and portions not over the top. Tried the corn beef on rye. What a pleasant surprise. Moist, well made corn beef on Jewish rye. Like the way you'd find it in a real deli downtown. My SO ordered a medium rare burger. It came just the way she liked it. We're not big French fry aficionados; but these were great even when they did get a little cold, still palatable. That's a change. If only it was open a later than 4 pm; it would be a great place to go before or after an evening at the Bardovon.

    Recently, I took a trip to Walkway over Hudson with a couple of friends, checking out the town of Poughkeepsie where we decided to have lunch. This American restaurant is centrally located downtown, looked stately and had an extensive, varied menu. There was also a cozy, inviting ambiance to the place. We were seated indoors immediately, with social distancing being implemented. I decided to go with the Salmon panini, which was served with pesto, onion, spinach, and tomatoes on ciabatta bread. I also had Spinach Feta Fries on the side. This was a tasty sandwich, with the salmon being well seasoned and tender. I loved the taste of the pesto sauce, and the accompanying vegetables added a nice, fresh touch. The Spinach Feta Fries comes with plenty of feta cheese, and fried spinach. This was such a delicious combination, and the fries were delightfully crispy and very potato-y. The feta cheese was wonderfully creamy and potent, while the fried spinach added great flavor. The service was lovely throughout. The waitress and rest of the staff made us feel welcome by their friendliness. Also, the prices were very reasonable and portions were generous. Can't ask for much more than that.

    Great hash (close to Mom's), fresh Florentine Benedict and over the top friendly service make it a must try. Would go again.

    Great coffee and bagel sandwiches. The line moves quickly and there's plenty of seating. Love the…read morecouches. Very warm and inviting.

    Had this bookmarked for our trip because of all of the rave reviews. We stopped in for dinner…read moreSaturday March 21 and there was barely anyone requiring service. After we walked in one of the waitresses informed us that we can sit wherever we want. I instantly felt like I was inconveniencing her with my presence by the way she said it. Didn't take it personal just yet. What appeared to be the hostess came over a few minutes after we sat down and handed us menus that were very dirty. I looked at my husband and said I am ready to walk out of this place bc I am starving and it looks like they are too short staffed right now which is understandably out of a businesses control sometimes. But wait, instead of the waitress coming to our table to bring water or ask us if we would like a drink, she went to another table with a man and a child that she obviously knew well, and started eating their french fries and talking. That's when we decided to leave and spend our money elsewhere. So unprofessional. That couldn't wait? I hate to leave a review like this, but if I was the owner of this business, I would not want someone like that working for me, representing what seems to be a great place.
