There is not a single bad thing anyone can say about Beast...food is BRILLIANT, service is impeccable and the ambiance is always fun. Their double smashed burger and curly fries are to die over...same for their smoked Old Fashioned. Yowza! Their nachos are also off the chart!! read more

Here's a Father's Day review: They were kind enough to seat us, but they have really odd hours, especially for Father's Day -- arguably the BIGGEST day of the year for BBQ. We arrived at 3:50 p.m., and they told us that they were closing in 10 minutes. Yikes. A family that arrived after us was turned away. I could see the deep disappointment in their eyes. I can only guess that BEAST doesn't want the business. Again, this was during the afternoon on one of the busiest BBQ days of the year. I.E. This wasn't some slow, late, and empty night. It was a sunny afternoon, and Fishkill's Main Street was hopping and vibrant. The staff did allow us to eat our meal, though, and didn't kick us out, but they were itching to close up shop. I guess they all have better things to be doing. (?) The food was, well, "okay" but overly pricey. The smoked wings are good here. I'll give them that. I would only get those if I ever came again (though the blue cheese dressing was weak). The other food (brisket, sausage, and mac n' cheese) was not poor, but it was also not memorable. Maybe a "C" grade all around? It's a neat spot for drinks (good spirits selection) and wings if you're in the neighborhood and they're open. But double-check their hours before heading out. read more

I really like this place a lot. Great food and great people. Ambiance! The bartender/server made me a special Shark Week shark drink because I'm one of those sober nerds. read more

Sooooooo gooooooood! My friend lives nearby & suggested we come here for the brisket nachos, and she wasnt wrong. There was so much flavor happening all at once, a little kick, the bbq sauce gave it more yum, and the serving was enough for 2 people to share. Not to mention that we ordered & it came out like 10min later, on a Saturday night when their busy? KUDOS!!! I loved this place. The drinks were also very tasty. I MUST RETURN! read more

We stopped in for their late night happy hour after eating at Dutchess Biercafe. At 9 it was still really busy outside but quiet inside. It's a small space, but it's cozy. They had ductless a/c units on the wall, but I'm not sure they were running because it was still quite hot inside. Our server was quick to tend to us and very friendly. They have a great tap list, much like Dutchess, only theirs is lager-centric rather than Belgian. Exactly what you want with some BBQ. You can't beat the 50% off price tag at happy hour either. We also decided to share some of the crispy ribs. The rib was cooked perfectly. Perfectly tender, but still holding its shape. The gochujang glaze was a little sweet and funky, and complimented the crispy texture. We'll definitely be visiting again to sample more food and drinks in the future! read more

Was super pleasantly surprised by Beast. 3 of us searched for a place for late brunch on Sunday after morning apple picking at nearby fishkill farms. We promptly grabbed a table outside , and were convinced to try brisket and pulled pork. I opted for loaded pulled pork nachos topped with eggs sunny side up. My friends both got brisket sandwiches. We started with an order of crispy chicken wings with gochuchang . Everything came out fast, piping hot , and most importantly full of flavor ! We were so surprised because everything was $15/16 each which was super reasonable for the quality of the food. Highly recommend!! read more

Wing Wednesdays are a great deal but the "very hot" ghost pepper wings are not spicy at all! Tasted like sweet barbecue sauce. The habanero wings are only slightly spicy but not at all "hot" as listed on the menu. The Mac and cheese is very good and rich! read more

Service never disappoints. Tried some new drinks and they all were great. The Fishkill Vice was more my favorite, it's more on the sweeter side but that la how I like my drinks. The Feral Fries were crunchy with the sauce was tangy, a great combo for the taste buds. The sandwiches were superb. It was packed but glad we were able to dine, awesome music, appreciate how easy going it feels being there. read more

I slept on this place for a long time, but today we were driving by and hungry so we stopped in. Super cool vibes and extra friendly staff made my 1st impression very positive. Plenty of room to sit at the bar or at a table - we sat at the bar. Bartender carried the good attitude and was on point when giving the specials. We both ordered drinks - myself an Old Fashioned and my date a margarita. Both drinks were REALLY good. That bartender definitely puts the love in. The food was out super quick- we both got the pastrami sandwich. The sandwich fell out of heaven and on to my plate! The pastrami was extremely tender with a hint of smoke - the bark on it was perfect. The kraut and sauce on it was the perfect combination for a masterpiece of a sammie. One may think $20 may be a bit on the high side for a sandwich, but it was HUGE and half came home, so no regrets! All in all this place ROCKS and I can't wait to go back to try some other menu items... read more

Got home from eating at Beast and wondered for a brief moment if I should turn around and go back -- it was THAT GOOD. I had the chicken wings, which were probably the best I've ever had. They had a nice assortment of sauces, but for me, the best was their "special sauce." (Although the buffalo sauce was also excellent and packed a lovely punch). I got the wings with the dry rub, although you have other options if you want a different flavor. There's a special on wings Wednesday nights, so I'm thinking I'll be there weekly... Because I remembered I should probably eat some vegetables, I had a side salad with green goddess dressing. Fresh salad and the dressing was excellent. My partner got the chicken sandwich, which also had the special sauce I used on my wings. She said it was "out of this world" (part of that may have been influenced by the curly fries she had on the side). Regardless, there was nothing left on either of our plates by the time we left. The place is small, so on a Saturday night we ended up sitting at the bar --which was actually kind of neat. It meant we got to talk with some of the servers, who were all super nice and helpful. Can't wait to go back! read more

First our drinks were all consistent and tasted the same as the first.we hit happy hour an got $52 off our drink bill. Food was delicious,over stuffed potatoe with Reuben and other toppings. Fire chicken was not as spicy as I expected, but did have a sweet flavor with the honey based sauce. 4 people, appetizers, meals, 2 rounds of drinks with coffee and beignets for dessert for $200! Delicious and great value. read more

Great food! Nachos, pork, brisket all were really good. Looking forward to trying their happy hour.

First time here, and super impressed. Local business owners who opened up another spot in Fishkill. Ambiance is warm and welcoming. Very cute interior with a large bar and plenty of tables. We sat at the bar and the service was great. Very attentive and helpful. Our bartender told us happy hour was ending soon so we were able to take advantage of that. Very helpful. Food was great. Menu has a lot of variety. This is a pretty "meaty" place, just so folks are aware. We had the nachos and tacos - both very well seasoned and delicious. I would highly recommend this spot. I will definitely be back! read more

Fantastic food and extremely generous portions. The servers are really great and make the dining experience enjoyable. A bit on the noisy side when it's crowded but you can still have a conversation. My go to option when I don't feel like cooking. Would highly recommend this place read more

This place was so so good!! Our waitress was so sweet and accommodating. The staff went above and beyond to make our first visit special. We had the mimosas, Weistephaner Hefeweizen on tap!!, and a Bellini. Ordered the brisket omelet - it was in need of sauce or something as it was a little dry. Strawberry waffle and bacon were delicious. I ordered the waffle smokehouse. It was the best!! I couldn't eat it fast enough to keep those flavors going! Loved it. read more

I'm really surprised that the place received such good reviews. The food was BLAND. I ordered the brisket absolutely no taste. The beans abd the rice no taste. I would not go back or recommend anyone else to go. I refused to go boxes because I knew I couldn't reheat and eat. read more

Stopped in for a quick burger. The burger was fresh, moist and tasty ensconced in a potato bun. The Czech beer was reminiscent of Prague. So light refreshing and absolutely delicious. Service was friendly and welcoming. Ambience was typical bar, dark and cozy. read more

Always amazing food and great service. One of our favorite spots in the Hudson Valley.

Yes! Food is great, service is above and beyond, our lovely waitress Jen was professional with a great smile. She explained all the dishes and even suggested the Brisket sandwich on a bun with curly fries, eventhough it was not in the menu! It was a killer! I had the Chopped brisket, Queso, barbecue sauce on a yummy Texas toast, served with delicious curly fries. We shared a Lava cake with Ice cream. It is a very small sitting area, a big bar! Soon we will be able to seat outside and enjoy a great meal Al fresco. Prices are good too. Try The Beast, you'll like it. read more

10/10 meal. No notes. Service is great, food is outstanding. They are not lying when they say seating is "limited" however the experience is well worth the wait. Their mac n' cheese is absolute heaven. The brisket is perfect. The beer selection is extensive. Definitely the best meal I've had in the area. read more

We decided to try someplace we hadn't been to yet. We had heard good things about this place. It's conveniently located in the village of Fishkill. The service is friendly. We started with the crispy smoked wings which were pretty good. Then we had the beast potter which is more than enough or four people to share. Then we had the beignet for dessert which was just alright. Overall it was a pretty good dining experience and I'd recommend this place. read more

Very disappointed in the food and the service. The beer served was room temperature, at most, and not cold at all. Ordered a "seltzer" and found out it was really a "juice" with a very high sugar content. The wings we ordered (6 dry rubbed and 6 Alabama white sauce), were overcooked and very dry and the Alabama sauce was really aioli, not Alabama sauce at all. Then we tried a brisket and cheese sandwich and the brisket was like sawdust. completely dried out and black. Absolutely terrible and we were amazed they even served it. Lastly, the service was extremely slow. We tried this place once, but would never go back. The only good thing was the water! read more

This is our first time coming to The Beast since opening. We love the Dutchess Bier Cafe, so we have high expectations for this place since they shared the same owner. It's walking distance from DBC and in an old town hall building. The inside is smaller than how it seems from the outside, but offers plenty of seating. Large bar with very comfortable seats which takes up half of the space, the other half are for sit-down dining. They will have more seating outdoors when the weather is warmer. We came here on a Saturday for a late lunch as party of 4. We sat at the bar for a round of drinks while waiting for a table. The bartender was very sweet and welcoming and they had a nice selection of draft beer on tap. Not as many as DBC, but still plenty to keep you happy. DBC only serves beer and wine, but here they offer a full bar for mixed drinks/cocktail. We did not have one but the drink menu looks nice and we will next time! For food, they were offering their brunch menu which had plenty of yummy stuff to choose from. The menu is BBQ based; We ordered the brisket omelette, brisket sandwich, and BLT. I really enjoyed my omelette, it was topped with a creamy sauce which made the omelette even more scrumptious. Every one of us cleaned our plate, so I would say that's a win! Laid back atmosphere, welcoming viv, I highly recommend it! read more

Was in Fishkill for a health care rally and looking for a place to eat. Googled best places to eat, and Beast was #2. It's wrong. Should be #1 all the way. Atmosphere, employees, food, and drink this place has it, and it's all good. The Brisket sandwich was so mouthwatering good, and I didn't want to make a pig of myself , I ate half and had the other for breakfast the next day because I couldn't wait for lunch. Will definitely be back when I'm in the area. read more

This a tremendous hidden gem - quaint & welcoming, delicious & fairly priced food items, and friendly, professional service. In addition to a wide variety of top shelf liquors & tasty craft beer offerings, there are also some optional Cannabis (as well as CBD) drinks available. Very nice & simple local place which I'll surely revisit. read more

I stopped at Beast last weekend on Saturday. I loved everything that we tried Bao Buns, wings with the habanero sauce, and the pork belly banh mi. All were delicious!! They offer mainly European Beers, which it not typically what I would gravitate towards but I had a refreshing lager. While at the bar one of the bartenders was raving about their Sunday Brunch so I returned the next day for Brunch! The mimosas are a good size so that's a win! I had the Banana Fosters Pancakes which were huge and delicious. I think the bananas could have been cooked a bit more but aside from that everyone in my group was happy with their food. Service was great both times. I will definitely return again! read more

First time visiting. Stopped in for a beer. Place was packed! Only 1 open seat at the bar with standing room. Beer selection is unique, not the usual... we had the Dunkle, it was very good!

(Seats about 22 in the dining area and about 12 at the bar.) Cheers! read more
