My husband and I have been visiting this diner for a couple of years. The excellent quality of service, diverse menu, and attentive staff have not changed since day one. We typically visit our favorite diner about twice a week and it never disappoints. We are always greeted with an enthusiastic smile by the manager, who always makes patrons feel special no matter how many people are in attendance. We like that the owner and manager display professional courtesy towards their staff as this is a quality we also look for in the service industry. We are so grateful to have a local diner that we can always rely on and we wish them many years of continued success. Best, the couple in the back!! read more

Today I ordered food to take out I asked for a modification to the fish /chicken soft tacos and the host and chefs' granted my request . I ordered salmon, soft tacos, medium to rare . I open the package to a fantastic presentation. Everything was packed and wrapped beautifully . The salmon was to die for! !!! It was so fantastically delicious! I called City Line to tell them. I explained that I usually eat salmon 2 to 3 times a week and I've traveled out of the country at least five times within the last year ordering it wherever I was . I think this is probably the best salmon I've had within this time frame . I applaud!! It was cooked perfect perfectly, and the fillets were perfect sized. The beans , rice fresh guacamole & salsa also deserve a round of applause ! Below is a picture of one of the tacos because they demolished the other ones, but it certainly doesn't do it justice! Thank you and this is now become one of my new food obsessions at this establishment!! read more

City Line Diner - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Poughkeepsie, New York

Today I visited City Line Diner in Poughkeepsie with my family. I called ahead and was told the wait would be about 10 minutes. When we arrived, we ended up waiting close to 30 minutes. While waiting, I noticed another group that stated they were a party of 9 was seated ahead of us, even though there were only 7 people, while we were a party of 6, including children. That left me confused and frustrated, especially since we had called ahead and were patiently waiting our turn. I left feeling disappointed and uncomfortable. I can't speak to why the wait list was handled the way it was, but the experience made me feel that we were treated unfairly. I used to come to this diner often, and because of this experience, I will not be returning. More importantly, I hope no other family has to leave feeling the way we did today. Unfortunately, what was supposed to be a special Mother's Day with my family ended in frustration and disappointment. Thank you for ruining what should have been a meaningful day. read more

Service was ok. Food was ok. The pancakes were thick and soaked up the pancake syrup like crazy, but still were dry. The guy at the register was nice and talkative. I love how they remodeled from the previous owners. read more

We were staying in Poughkeepsie for 2 nights and while looking for a restaurant to have dinner I found this diner. I was very impressed with the reviewer that gave this new business a second chance and wrote a wonderful review. We went inside and were greeted immediately and seated. Our server (Paola?) was so sweet and friendly, brought our drinks and gave us a few minutes to decide. It was a nice menu, lots of choices from breakfast items, to sandwiches, paninis, wraps, salads, Greek items and desserts. It had been a really warm day so we both felt salads would be perfect. Our Cobb salads were perfect. There was no skimping on ingredients. I prefer my salad ingredients not mixed and it was arranged beautifully. This was a large bowl and everything was fresh. Lettuce, tomato, avocado, bacon, blue cheese and nicely seasoned and grilled chicken. The dressing was a creamy Italian and was nice and light on the salad. Our server checked with us a few times to make sure everything was good and to refill our drinks. read more

Excellent, friendly service! Was greeted with a smile and attended to expeditiously. The food is good. I didn't order anything super fancy, but what I did order was cooked well and tasted good! Nice clean environment that's not overcrowded or overly decorated. Perfect ambiance. I'll definitely be back to try other items on the menu. read more

The food was mediocre; they brought the wrong dish as well. Overall, I doubt I'll go back again.

Fairly priced menu. The sausage was excellent. The eggs were very well cooked. The French toast was on the money. The pancakes are still mediocre. The wait staff not very tentative. Pretty slow on a Friday morning around 8:30 AM. The place is beautiful on the inside though. They did a lot of good work. read more

It has been 8 months since my last review and I must say it was a one star review. We have been back many times and we have changed our mind about the City Line Diner. They have performed a 180 degree turnaround. Maybe it was the "new" start jitters or something else, but they are doing a fine job now. Service is great and friendly, and the food is top notch, and the place is always clean and well lit. The 4 of us have now made this diner our favorite get together breakfast spot. My friend and I go there also for lunch once in a while. Never a bad experience. Great place to meet and eat! read more

We went on Thursday night for the 1st time since it reopened as City Line. The staff was friendly & the food was delicious. My son ordered chicken tenders & it looked like they were fresh made there, I had the patty melt (huge, fresh & yummy), my husband had the French dip (also good). Th fries were fresh, crispy & hot. My only complaint is that they don't have matzoh ball soup. All in all a good experience & we will go back. read more

The last 3 times i went there they messed up my order and didn't care for trying to fix it. I had to wait almost 15 mins just for a sauce cup that was still wrong..asked the manager in the front and he sent a server to tell his response, don't go there unless u want bad service and fake smiles... and i just ate wen there they didn't care about there customers as seen in person read more

The City Line Diner is a must go to Diner. The service is always outstanding and the food is always fresh and cooked exactly how I ordered it. read more

Food here is pretty good and the staff is pretty nice. My review is due to two things: 1. The prices here are comparably higher than any other diner in the area with no significant difference in quality, amount served, etc. 2. Since opening I have ordered from here minimum of seven times. Only one of those times was my order correct - every other time I either received the wrong order or the order was made incorrectly read more

Food was gross, I ordered an omelette it was dry and cold, bacon was undercooked. Service was bad as well, sat there for a while multiple times with empty drinks. read more

Food was yummy and much better now that is under new ownership! I ordered the turkey club the first time I had went and the second time a BLT with bacon. I ordered the waffle fries both time and we're both so good both times. read more

Eggs Benedict. Hollandaise sauce was thick like pudding, cold and clotted. Home Fries tasted like boiled potatoes grilled with zero seasoning. Our server was very attentive and so nice. The restaurant looks less run down. $60.00 for eggs benny, chicken tenders and a ruben sandwich. Not even Heinz catchup. I mean ? Thought we may have something comparable to the Red Line but not even close. It's ehh a little better than fast food. read more

Amazing food amazing atmosphere very friendly service! over all the best diner of all of New york!!!

My wife and I found ourselves near the City Line Diner a few weeks ago and decided to have breakfast. We had an omelet and eggs benedict and both were very good. Today we returned and swapped choices and both were very good again. Service was very good too. Only thing that we'd like to see improved is the breakfast potatoes as they are no better than most diners in Dutchess County - which are best eaten with lots of ketchup. I guess we've been spoiled when we visit our S-in-L in Pennsylvania were the diner serviced breakfast potatoes are buttery, very tasty, and often service with a crisp crust if one asks or sometimes are hash browns. Bathrooms are very clean too. Overall, 4.5 stars, but perfect. read more

The service was terrible, the ice tea was not good and my food was kind of cold and was not prepared like I wanted it. The only points I would give would be for how it looks, it is way better than acropolis, but I would never eat there again. read more

Clean and sassy new retro diner right on Main Street in Poughkeepsie! Booths are super comfy and roomy and place was super clean. Lots of different options on the menu as well as the traditional diner classics. My Avocado Breakfast Wrap was divine.. Soft tortilla, melting cheese, perfect scrambled eggs and fresh creamy ripe avocado. Yummy! Can't wait to try one of their southwestern options! Check it out!!!! read more

The Poughkeepsie 20 oz. burger was cooked a proper medium and the French fries were tasty. Prices were reasonable and the diner looked clean and refurbished. Service was a bit weak though, with no one coming by to see whether I wanted anything (I did, a soda refill and napkins). The greeter cashier were also robotic, with no warm hello or even a thank you at the end. It's not just the food, it's the experience, and if they tighten up on the service, managers included, this would a go to place. read more

I was there a few weeks ago. It was a pleasure. Friendly quick service. Hamburger was delicious. Great ambiance. Will frequent again.

I know it was busy, I get that, I've worked in food service for years. I went there before a week ago and all was well. the potatoes smelled bad, the three people at my table did not eat them, there were two hairs in one plate. we told the waitress and she told the manager . we still had to pay 50 dollars for food we didn't even eat. we ate the bacon ( because it's bacon) . he couldn't even come over and apologize or say anything which is all we wanted . very disappointed , will not be back! read more
