I had to lower a star - the lunch special got smaller and they restricted the available food to chicken or pork. The pork was still delicious, just a much smaller portion. I would have left the stars alone from my prior review (I understand costs go up) because the pernil is so tasty, but I got a beef empanada that tasted like it was 2 days old. Salty, tough, and a meager amount of meat. I'll stick with the pork. Still a filling portion, but it's not the deal it was... read more

stopped in here for lunch yesterday. Pretty interesting spot. Hole in the wall place with not a lot of seating. I went because I saw the sign with the lunch special. The food was very basic but very good. I just got rice beans and pork and it was a lot of food and very tasty. Would suggest going back if youre looking for a quick cheap meal read more

Have passed this place a gazillion times and never dared to step in. Well, that was a horrible error on my part! Very meat-centric, but I opted for a plate of rice and red beans with some sweet plantains on the side - and was rewarded well. A big steaming plate for $8. Yes, the place is a dive but that is kind of the point. The people were super friendly and service was quick. Mind you, it wasn't exactly hopping but I'm not sure why. My dining compatriot, who has no issue with being carnivorous, did the same as I did with a nice big helping of pork on top it all and he was super happy. Will definitely be back. read more

great for price. foods delicious and fresh ! recommend the stew chicken and rice/beans

We were driving by this place recently and finally decided to go in get a Passion Fruit Natural Juice. When I stepped inside it was nice and clean and I was greeted by an older man and a woman. I received the passion fruit just but we had a little trouble with trying to decipher what we were both saying when I asked for Chicken Gizzards. The older man said they were out and suggested Roasted Chicken or Chicken Stew. But the lady tried to figure out what I was talking about and it seemed like she spoke less English than the man. We both were able to figure out that I asked for boneless fried chicken. Although what I really wanted was Chicken Gizzards. I don't think that is what I got but, I do its chicken so I am fine with that. The fried boneless chicken was golden brown and freshly fried for me. The yellow rice was good as well. I will come back for the Passion Fruit Juice for sure. I might come back for the food it was good but, it did not wow me. read more

I was an accidental customer to Danny's today. I was in the neighborhood and went next door to another eatery. While waiting in line I overheard the owner of that establishment telling a customer they had run out of many cooked food items. I walked out and saw the sign on the sidewalk for Danny's lunch specials. I had never noticed this establishment before which has been open since about August 2017. I was greeted by the smiling young lady behind the counter who was very courteous and assisted me in making a selection. Except for the basic Spanish dishes, I have no knowledge of Puerto Rican cuisine. The young lady, i did not ask her name, assisted with my selection of oxtail and rice and beans and a side of toastones. Portion size is adequate. I have plenty of leftovers for tomorrow and will definitely be coming back to Danny's. read more

If you want quick, delicious, traditional Spanish/Puerto Rican food, this is THE spot. Whenever my wife and I are feeling too lazy to cook, Danny's is a go-to. Easily the best oxtail in the area, and the yuca is crazy good! I honestly don't even like yuca most of the time but the way they do it here is just irresistible! They also have rice and beans so good that my Puerto Rican mother in law swears by it. The best part? The prices are amazing!! My wife and I get two big, filling plates of food, plus a salad to share and two sodas - all for under $30!!! Do yourself a favor and go here. read more

Delicious food, great price, clean restaurant. If you haven't been here yet, go. We were there for the first time yesterday ... had the yellow rice, red beans and pork - amazing. Will definitely go back. read more

Danny Restaurant - Puerto Rican Near Me - Poughkeepsie, New York

Rice and beans here are deliciously seasoned and the stew chicken seasoned as well and falls off the bone. Sometimes the empanadas can be a little dry. Overall, this is my favorite spot to get Dominican cuisine. Waaay better than Nelly's read more

The girl in front doesn't speak really good English. I tried to call to Danny or someone who speak better English to ask if they had something. She hung up on me. So I called her back and hung up on me again when I trying to find out if they had what I wanted. I don't appreciate being hung up on. (By the way I called back and hung up on her) its definitely disrespectful. I'm not eating from there again !!!!!!!!! DONT EAT HERE!!!! read more

The best bang for your buck! Everything is homemade and fu*cking delicious. My personal favorite is the beef stew with the yellow rice. I've heard amazing things about the ox tail but I'm not a fan of ox tail in general. read more

This is a very basic spot. Pretty good food that cured our taste for Spanish food. Very clean. The maduros (sweet plantains) had an interesting taste and then I realized it was seasoned with cinnamon...interesting. Maybe because it was close to New Years and there wasn't a lot of foot traffic but the empanadas were old and the maduros were too. I would go back but may try another timeframe. I give it a 3.5/4 read more

Very disappointing. The ox tail was bland, pernil was dry. Pork monfongo tasted like it's been sitting in the freezer for months.

Reasonably priced. Large portions. Delicious food. My favorite is the rotisserie chicken!

An urban neighborhood spot with authentic Latin Caribbean type food. Loved the pork especially and two types of rice and beans. Good prices. Not fancy I will certainly go back for more. read more

I called with a simple question and spoke to the owner who said to me in perfect english "I can't understand english." She then pretended like she couldn't understand me, and when i got someone who SPOKE SPANISH I was just HUNG UP on. I understand a Spanish/Latin language barrier and who cares when the food is good, but that is NOT the case here. I couldn't believe the lack of care and effort. I doubt they'll last long if they continue with these habits. read more

No bells and whistles here. Great food, at a great price. I got the yellow rice, beans, pulled pork and sweet plantains. Lots of flavor! Try their hot sauce. read more

Food was very tasty and plentiful! Excellent price too! Will be back! We chose to eat in, they have several tables. Food is pre-made and is served up for you. We tried the stewed chicken, pernil and oxtail. Rice with peas and black beans was flavorful. read more

Stopped in for a quick dinner and all I can say is it is quick. The pork was so salty that it was almost inedible. They may have poured in cups of salt. The white rice was crunchy, as though it had been out all day. Cabbage had as strange oily taste. I will not be returning. read more

This was the worst Experience by far .... I stop going to Nelly's on main st and decided to try this new restaurant out since it was close to home. I ate here at Danny's 3 times and all 3 times they gave me 2 or 3 oxtail with a lot a lot of rice No meat Very cheap I was very sadden to believe how a family that's serving the community can be so unfair and treated me with no respect Don't waste your money please go to Nelly's .......very bad bad experiences Not nice people , Their mean they don't smile but yet quick to take your money read more

My only recommendation is that the staff should either not talk badly about their customers in front of them or keep in mind that many people speak Spanish... very disheartening as we used to enjoy the food there. read more

Small and good gem found here. Tasty, good portion, affordable and traditional Dominican- Portorrican food. I endorse it

100% would recommend. they have great food here. all rice is great, all beans are great. empanadas aren't the absolute best, but they're still very good. they have fantastic pork, beef stew, and chicken options as well. and this place is EXTREMELY CHEAP. huge portions. i get a small togo container for $6 during lunch hours, and it feeds me twice. they're a great local business and deserve the customer base. read more

I called in an order for pickup and from he start the guy on the phone was rude and rushing me. He was annoyed that I asked him to repeat himself. I ordered rice beans with 'bread crumbed chicken breast' with rice and beans with fried sweet plantains; and i said it twice because he didnt hear me the first time. The second order was fine. But the first order wasnt breadcrumbed chicken and he completely didnt add the sweet plantains which I also mentioned twice. When I was there he was annoyed that asked for other stuff. Really upsetting to look forward to eating the stuff I ordered how I ordered and payed for to then get home and see that i didnt get what I ordered. They need to fix their customer servicing and pay more attention to paying customers, specially since its one of the few dominican restaurants around so it has potential to do good but its failing. As a fellow dominican myself this place aint it. Never going back. read more

My husband and I were looking for a place to grab lunch for our family. We ordered rice , beans, Moro with platanos maduro and a pork mofongo. Everything was delicious. If you're look for traditional domincan amd puerto rican flavors go here! Thank you! read more
