Delicious breakfast! We got a chorizo wrap, biscuits and gravy, Nutella pancakes and more!

I didn't really enjoy my meal overall. There were only a few people inside when I dined in, so the atmosphere was pretty quiet. I ordered the steak medium-rare, but unfortunately, it was tough and chewy. The French onion soup also lacked flavor--it was very watery, almost like plain water with caramelized onions mixed in. Because the broth was so bland, the onion flavor barely came through. The cake, on the other hand, was a highlight! It was moist, delightfully sweet, and probably my favorite part of the meal. read more

Not bad, I think this was a good solid meal. Interesting menu with an American/mexican blended restaurant. My kid had a cheese burger, my DH had a Cobb salad and I had a taco salad. Mine was huge! Definitely could not eat the whole thing! My kids burger was think, but a little overcooked for his liking. It was more well done than his medium that he requested. read more

We stopped here for a quick lunch on our visit to Woodstock. It's a cute town and has lots of cute shops and restaurants. I got a BLT which came with a side of fries. It was your typical BLT. Perfect lunch! My sidekick got a tuna salad on a croissant. The thing was huge. Hers came with curly fries. We both got a fancy drink with cinnamon and whipped cream. I think it was whiskey coffee. I can't remember but it was yummy. Topped with an Italian wafer cookie. Nice staff, quick service. read more

I was THOROUGHLY impressed with this (vaguely Mexican by day and Italian by night) ristorante. We were seated upstairs, in a cozy, intimate setting with white tablecloths and dim lighting. When I saw the elegance of the setting and the formal menu, I assumed that it'd be a pricey meal, but I was more than happy to find out otherwise! We ordered the penne alla vodka, broiled salmon (which came with a heaping portion of fried rice and mashed potatoes), and the side of garlic bread. Based on the price of the garlic bread ($3.99), I thought it'd be just a piece or two on top of the pasta - but I was astonished to find out that it's the real deal, with slice after slice! The salmon was good and not too dry. The fried rice surprised me as an Asian dish in an Italian entrée, but the potatoes were creamy and yummy. But nothing in this meal could top the penne alla vodka - absolutely delicious. Full five stars! Servers were not overly attentive but professional, and the clean bathroom was a welcome sight! read more

We were visiting Woodstock with a large party, and an online search yielded Allison's as one of a few well-rated spots that would not only be open to large groups, but also welcoming to a pet who was traveling with us. The restaurant is homey and cottage-like, both inside and out. The menu has a diner-like variety and everyone from our youngest to our oldest eaters found something they wanted. Everything across the board was decent and well-seasoned. Feeling particularly peckish, I ordered their cheeseburger hero, which turned out like a classic chopped cheese sandwich. I really appreciated the warmth and flexibility of the service here. The members of our party were arriving at all different times, but our waitress was quick to drop by our table and collect orders from the newest arrivals. We have a few picky eaters in our group, but the kitchen was open and welcoming to their modifications. Other servers kept our water glasses filled, and sizable lollipops were doled out to all the kiddos in our groups at the end of our meal (to their great delight). read more

Delicious dinner on a Tuesday night, with no wait at 7pm. My dinner was a branzino dish with roasted potatoes, spinach, tomatoes, garlic, and a sauce they made to be gluten free and dairy free - lemon sauce with EVOO instead of butter. Seriously so good! Husband had a Rueben sandwich with sweet potato fries (extra $), and felt it was good but nothing spectacular. Hard to make this be a standout sandwich I suppose. One kid had a cheese ravioli parmigiana entree and it was so much cheese. The other kid had chipotle chicken BLT sandwich and really liked how spicy it was. Service was great, waitress was knowledgable and the staff was attentive with water refills. The inside is super cute with plants hanging throughout the ceiling. We took our daughter's service dog that she's raising and the waitress brought over a bowl of water for the dog. read more

I got the steak sub sandwhich tonight. It was mostly a mayonnaise and bell peper sandwhich with about 2 ounces of meat, a few mushrooms, a couple stray slices of onion and a lot of bread. All i could taste was mayo and bell peppers... for $20.00 Really disappointing. I ate half and threw the rest out. I don't get it? read more

Cute restaurant. Staff were very friendly and helpful. All the food was delicious! Gave 4 stars instead of 5 as the kitchen was slow.

Such a cute restaurant in Woodstock! I ordered the chicken marsala and my boyfriend ordered the chicken Francese, and both were absolutely delicious! I came with my boyfriend's family, which included a one-year-old baby and a small dog, as a group of 8. The restaurant allowed us to bring in the dog and had a seat for the baby, so they were very accommodating. The mixed food platter wasn't my favorite, but the mango pineapple smoothie was delicious! I also ordered the soup with my pasta and the chicken and rice soup was delicious as well. Despite having a big group, they were pretty good with keeping up with us and our big order during a busy time of day. I genuinely had a great experience here and would be so happy to come back. To be honest, my boyfriend's dish was even better than my chicken marsala, and the chicken marsala is so good! read more

This small spot serving up some pretty decent breakfast. I got Allison's breakfast. 2 eggs over easy, toast, black beans with sour cream, avocado slices&white cheese. Yum yum yum. Top it with an iced Chai latte that tastes like a thousand calories. So u no it was good! Service was on point, Small,quaint,perfect read more

The place was very cute and had a nice vibe including windows and plants upstairs. BUT this place severely lacks flavor and seasoning. Light pours- my mixed drink tasted like a melted popsicle - I didn't even drink it. I got scallops and there wasn't one spec of seasoning on them. My finance liked the margaritas and steak he got but I didn't try either of them. Since we were from out of town we also got food to go for later. I got the Greek chicken wrap and again literally NO seasoning at all. Just a plain chicken breast. Imagine my disappointment when I found out later that night that the little container of tzatziki was rancid. I wouldn't eat here again. read more

The long-running and previous Joshua's will always be remembered as a Woodstock staple. But with their closure, Allison's Restaurant made their entrance. There are no shoes to be filled as Joshua's was global and Mediterranean with the Shashoukas, Israeli salads, shammatov, etc. Those were the days. The newest kid on the block, Allison's, also runs the gamut between a mix of wraps to quesadillas to fajitas, some Italian fare to souvlaki to Mexican street corn to a cordon Bleu- heck, there are even plantains offered here. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Since hubs and I are spending almost every weekend in Woodstock, I have a better gage at comparing menus and who's offering what. The owner Isabel, is super pleasant and welcoming. The space is very minimalist and the dining room feels toasty good. She and her family are bringing a different spin to their restaurant- but they're also keeping in line and offering a Smoke Salmon sandwich for instance- which a lot of people enjoy (I do too) and other breakfast staples. Ventilation system is great and I didn't carry those food smells on me. These folks open at 9ish(?) and close at 9:30 I think and offer more than the 3 square meals. Again, the menu is all over the place, but options are almost endless. Despite the 'bland' or 'mediocre food' a few folks are complaining about, it was a simple breakfast pickup for me. The high-end prices in town are something hubs and I are familiar with- but it's also nice having a new eatery offering a menu that won't break your wallet. read more

One word... Wow. This place felt like HOME! We took a trip to the Catskills for a night, we come from about two hours away so I searched the internet long and hard for some good food!! I'm so glad I came across Allison's, everything was amazing!!! We were sat right away, menus drinks, etc all right away! Our waitress and waiter were absolutely attentive and such friendly welcoming people! Our drinks and food were exceptional. Chicken piccata and scallops, cooked perfectly! Flavors were authentic and delicious, it's hard to find a good Caesar salad and chicken and rice soup, as well as butternut squash soup, fresh guacamole... They had it all!!! Thank you Allison's for an awesome dinner and experience!!! Next time we're here we will definitely come back and visit! The real flowers on the table- so cute read more

We're from Chicago and we were staying in Woodstock for a long weekend. We arrived into town late, and we were looking for something simple and inexpensive to eat. Allison's seemed have positive reviews and a good choice for dinner. It was late, so there were only a few tables with customers. The room was fairly unremarkable, but we saw that they have a second floor that looks to be more interesting. Perhaps they use that floor for special events or if it gets busy. The waitress who greeted us when we arrived was sitting at a table having dinner with her friends or family. So after seating us, we never saw her again. Another gentleman took our order. My husband ordered the Chicken Casserole with a side order of garlic bread and I ordered the California BLT. The food arrived relatively fast. My husband said that his casserole was okay, and the garlic bread was a huge loaf, but rather ordinary. My BLT looks unremarkable but the French fries were served in a cute, small fryer basket. I took a couple of bites of my BLT and there didn't seem to be any bacon on it. It wasn't a very big sandwich, so I finished one half without too much fuss, but I swear that I didn't taste any bacon. Before I started eating the other half of the sandwich, I looked through the layers, and sure enough--no bacon. I mean how can you serve a BLT without the B? I called the waiter over, and he was gracious about making me a completely new sandwich and fries, but I ended up taking half of it home and never ended up eating it because we had something going on every night for the rest of our trip. I went back and forth about giving Allison's two or three stars, but I just thought that giving me a sandwich with the main ingredient missing was a big misstep. Allison's is good if you're looking for an inexpensive meal in Woodstock (most of the restaurants are on the pricey side), but it isn't going to knock your socks off. read more

Food was hearty and good but we waited FOREVER - an hour for pick up that supposedly would take 2 minutes. Was hard w a toddler but they were really nice. Got the salmon, a garlic chicken pasta w oil and garlic bread. Probably easier to dine in. read more

Mediocre food. Not made to order. But the main thing is the wait. Not only did we wait an hour for food, at least four tables ate before us. If I wouldn't have checked on our order, I think it would've been completely forgotten. And no one once checked on us. Very disappointed. Would not go again. read more

While staying in Woodstock at the Woodstock Way Hotel , found Allison's Restaurant within steps of the hotel's driveway. Our first meal after checking in was dinner, and we were Blown Away by the food! The recipes are spot on and the preparation and plating is perfection! We ordered from the specials menu and were impressed with the intense flavors of every dish from the apps to the Entrees Isabél brought us the BEST Carrot Cake to finish with a nice double espresso ! The service was great and the owners were very gracious. We went back for breakfast the next day. Dee-lish! We ate every meal there, except 2 lunches, and were never disappointed. Always amazed by the quality of the food and the warm hospitality in this cozy place. We will miss you Isabél! Can't wait to get back there! Leonardo y Jo-Anna read more

The food, the service, the ambiance was everything you could ask for. My husband and I went in for a delicious breakfast and returned that night for dinner. Food is fresh and light, it left us feeling satisfied and delighted. We will be back in a week or two. You should not miss this wonderful spot. read more

Menu is very large, not quiet the normal diner size but close to it. We saw a bunch of people getting burgers etc and we should have gotten the hint that might have been the better option. French Onion soup lacked richness and she squash soup seemed like puréed squash without and depth. The service was ok. They kept checking on us. But it was too much. I think we were asked if we wanted bread 4 times. The food was just ok. We were fed, but we didn't take home for left overs. read more

Stumbled upon this gem while staying at a B&B a block away. So good we ate there 2 nights in a row. Unlikely spot for Italian but the ravioli and spaghetti with meatballs was great. Loved the special spring white wine sangria. Do yourself a favor and try it out. I don't think you will be disappointed. read more

We had a great time here!! I grew up dining in this charming corner restaurant with all the beautiful twinkle lights. When it sold and Allison's opened, we hadn't been because they did not serve alcohol at the time and we like wine and drinks with dinner. Now they have their liquor license. The menu is big with a great selection, which is kind of rare in this town. The staff are all really friendly. They don't rush you, which is always nice. My son got a steak and likes it very rare - cold center. It was cooked perfectly. I got spaghetti, my daughter tried the falafel wrap, and my husband got the filet of sole. We all loved our food! The wine was good and my husband's Manhattan was made correctly. We will definitely be back! read more

I was going to Woodstock yesterday to see a movie at the Tinker Street theater. But found out about Allison and decided to try it out. There were a couple of people in the dining room when I arrived around 6 PM. I was greeted with a smile by the server. Sat down at a table for two. Got the menu and saw there was lots of good choices things you don't see on other menus like casseroles I decided to order the entrée of spaghetti and meatballs with marinara sauce. You can pick from meat sauce also for an extra few bucks Decided to try and order of garlic bread with mozzarella cheese. Also the fresh lemonade. I picked the chicken and rice soup. I got a nice bowl soup with plenty of chicken. I'm nervous about getting soup at some restaurants because sometimes they're too salty and other times they put Manian glucoma meat in the soup stock. The chicken was very good tasting and the soup was definitely not salty, nor did it contain MSG. My spaghetti and meatballs came out along with the garlic bread. The spaghetti and meatballs were presented very nicely on the plate. The spaghetti was cooked very nicely. The sauce had a good flavor to it. Maybe a bit too tangy for me I like a sweeter sauce. The meatballs were big and delicious. With a very good flavor nice taste of breadcrumbs, other seasoning, and the meat nice and fresh. I enjoyed the garlic bread. It was a big portion. The service was good and the food here is a very good value, I definitely wanna come back and try some other things. The cheeseburger hero looks good. Some of the casseroles also seem very intriguing. I'm happy that a restaurant in Woodstock has a menu with a lot of different choices very reasonable prices throughout the menu. read more

This used to be Joshua's, which we were very sad to learn closed their doors permanently. We enjoyed eating there when we went to Woodstock to visit. We were pleasantly surprised when we visited Woodstock yesterday, and stopped in for a bite to eat at Allison's Restaurant who took over Joshua's building. The food was out of this world & the waitress was over the top accommodating & very sweet. They have an extensive menu, offer gluten free options & the prices are so affordable!! Fresh flowers on the tables & the bathroom was very nice & spotless!! We Love Allison's & will go back every time we visit Woodstock! read more

Food was very good and so was the service. Even on a busy holiday weekend our food came out quickly and it was delicious.

I hardly ever leave bad reviews, but this place was such a disappointment. I parked in front of bread alone my first stop usually when I come up here, but was hungry and in the mood for a good breakfast. I searched and found this place with a high rating. I had been here once before when it was a Mexican or Restaurant or something. It was a little past 11 but they were already doing lunch. The butternut squash soup was barely warm, I was about to send it back, to reheat it, but my wife told me not to, she doesn't like to make a fuss. So I just put it aside. The waitress who was very impersonal and not very friendly , didn't ask if anything was wrong she just picked it up. The penne a La vodka was at least hot, but not Al dente. I poured Parmesan and hot peppers on it, and tried to eat it, but could only get through a quarter of the plate. My wife is very polite but she only ate half of her penne arrabiata, and said it was fine. I wasn't thinking about garlic bread, but when the waitress, who is very sour and unfriendly, suggested it, I thought ok would be nice with soup. Problem was she brought it 10 minutes after I started eating the pasta, and had sent back the soup already. The bread was not toasted, I told her to toast it and she came back with it completely dry, and inedible. Might not be fair to compare this food to that of an Italian restaurant, but if you're gonna put pasta on the menu try and learn how to cook it right. read more
