    Boneless Wings

    One of the worst dining experiences I've had. The food was rubbery and cold, the servers were unaware and didn't seem happy to be there, and the restaurant itself hadn't looked like it had a renovation in over 40 years. The ranch was incredibly watery and the grilled chicken looked and tasted like rubber. And don't even get me started on the broccoli... it was so mushy I couldn't finish it. And I love broccoli. The lighting was bland and sad which, on top of the food itself, made the experience feel like a chore rather than a pleasant dinner. I was so disappointed I didn't even bother looking at the dessert menu and just walked across the street to the McDonald's next door for a McFlurry (which was unsurprisingly the best part of my night).

    The food is so yum and healthy. Service is fast and amazing, Isaiah was great and he made sure everything was good. Amazing spot to try for food.

    Steak w shrimp

    Went to Applebees Poughkeepsie location across from Marist. Place was half full so I was surprised to hear there would be a 10 minute wait. The host actually asked one of the servers could you take this table meaning us and he was like oh well basically no and I'm like isn't your purpose to get as many tips as possible on top of your hourly wage? I asked the hostess are you guys hiring? It seems like you're short staffed and the reply was I have no idea you need to talk to my manager.so we get seated and the bartender was our server. Laura was the one bright spot. Customer, focused and super friendly. She got our orders taken very quickly and since she was the bartender, we opted for one piña colada and a chocolate martini both were delicious. We opted for the two for $28 meals, which includes one appetizer of your choice. We took mozzarella sticks, and you got two entrées. My wife had lime chicken, and I opted for a steak. I asked for a medium on my steak and to be honest with you, it was almost rare that was a little disappointing, and I'm not sending back a steak so I powered through it the taste was good. I also opted to add shrimp. which was a good addition for only three dollars more and our two grandkids took the pizza from the kids menu. Food was good but just the whole vibe was kinda off from the beginning and as I stated Laura salvaged our visit. We will definitely try it again

    For a couple of years now, my friend and I have made this stop on some occasions. Located on route 9 in the Home Depot plaza makes it not hard to miss, although, heading- southbound a turnaround is required. Google Maps would come in handy. I'm impressed to see at Applebee's, at least in this location, is the great offers and sales to order. One of the ones we get is the 2 for $20 (2 people) with different entree choices plus one appetizer, one being a cheeseburger with fries for example. Although take note of the location for pricing, because it varies. There were times when service can be slow, so do have patience with them. But there are times where it isn't so bad, so I guess the time and day play a role. This Applebee gets a passing grade.

    Riblets meal

    We decided to order takeout and the food was just okay. We were really in the mood for some good food but were just underwhelmed. There was nothing spectacular about the food, it took a while and the portions were pretty small. One of the meals we ordered were more on the expensive side for Applebee's and it was really tiny. Not filling at all. We also didn't receive any ketchup in the bag and it was a little disappointing because one of the meals came with fries. I ordered the riblets with mashed potato's and they were fine. I wasn't super impressed and definitely had better. I picked mashed potatoes as my side and was given a really small serving. Everything was just significantly less than I've had at other locations. I guess I was somewhat disappointed with my experience here. We were really hungry and were hoping for a better experience. I'm not sure if I'll go back.

    Come here pretty often for the late night specials. Half off apps and 5 dollar margs are unbeatable. Staff is nice and place was relatively clean. Would be nice if the food was better, but drinks were class

    Horrible wings,slimy,no crunch and wanted bluecheese and got ranch,Applebee's  just cannot make good wings here!

    See all

    The service and the people that were customers as well as staff were wonderful and fabulous first…read moretime there will not be our last

    Good place to get good portioned, slightly elevated diner classics in a neighborhood bar setting…read more My wife and I came in for weekday lunch, and found it to be a good experience. I had marked Junior's as a place to go for a meal while planning our Northeast US trip. Don't remember why, assuming I must have read it in a 'best of Poughkeepsie' guide on some webpage. So when we finished our tour of the Vanderbilt mansion around lunchtime, we took the winding path to get here in 20 minutes (located about 5 miles Northeast of downtown Poughkeepsie). The interior was newer, and wasn't too crowded. One waitress/bartender was running front of house and was extremely helpful and friendly. It's a townie bar, where everyone seemed to know each other. Restaurants like these depend on the mercy of delivery, and found out after we ordered that two of our choices (Clams Casino and Buffalo Wings) were not available. Instead, my wife got the Fish & Chips ($20), with me getting the recommended Ribeye Melt ($21). Blue moon was on tap, so got that (way overpriced at $9 for 12 oz). The fish dish promised us 3 beer-battered cod loins, and it delivered. Each piece was large and had been expertly deep fried. The fries were thick and crisp, and the same ramekin of cole slaw was perfect. Even though none of it was homemade, for me, it was one of the best fish fries I've had in a while. My recommended Ribeye sandwich was great as well. I really liked the crunchy and solid ciabatta bread, and the meat and cheese was generous, and tender/melty respectively. The fries were good, expertly prepared, not too greasy. This is the kind of diner I like...where the food comes mostly pre-prepared, but it's clear they have a really good food supplier, and are able to keep the food prices down.
