    Good ole American juicy burger cooked to perfection. Service was fast and friendly. Mimosa was mostly juice with the added straw lol. Diner is kept very warm and comfortable.

    Came here for a casual dinner while shopping around locally. It's a good spot if you want lots of options to choose from. Big menu. The food was pretty good. Plenty of parking and no wait time so it's convenient.

    Deluxe Cheeseburger

    It's been awhile since I been here. The food is good. I had a deluxe cheeseburger which comes with 3 onion rings and fries. The tomato and lettuce was old and had an off taste. The burger was cooked to a perfect medium rare. It was huge and had good flavor. I wish it came out faster, we waited around 30 mins for our food to come out after we ordered it. The ambiance was your typical diner setup. They had a good display of deserts to choice from. They looked good to try next time.

    My DIY rendition of avacado toast...fail

    OK guys. As we all know, a good diner is determined by its french fry. This review is not set in stone as I plan on going back to make my final decision on this place. The side of french fries portion was very very small even to the point where you can see the plate under the french fry. The french fries were undercooked, however acceptable. The side of gravy was absolutely delicious, even though it was too thick and a small portion as well. Now, avocado toast is a new popular breakfast item and it was not on the menu. Since I was craving this, i was contemplating whether to get a BLT with avocado or just get toast with added avocado and bacon. I did the second option. The presentation was weird and I had to end up making it myself by smashing the avocado. I ordered bacon, not bacon bits and we got charged for both. The egg dish was good, but how can you go wrong with that. Despite the weird food experience, the waitress was super nice so I give service a 5 and the ambience was a 5 as well. Let's see what our next visit entails . Wish me luck! ~Nini

    Moving to the area soon and have already been here three times. Good food, great service and they make an awesome Bloody Mary. Also tried a chicken wrap, breakfast bowl (the Buenos Dias bowl) and other stuff. All very good.

    Cinnamon pancakes

    Took my son out for breakfast here. I don't recall the last time I came. Customer service was great from the hostess to the servers. Polite and attentive. I had a special, cinnamon pancakes with vanilla sauce. It was really good. My son had a chorizo omelet. The chorizo was a little bland. Not the usually crumbled spicy kind. Not sure it even was chorizo. Overall not a terrible experience.

    Made a quick stop at Dutchess Diner on Monday afternoon. An average diner experience, with a big menu of decent food, but nothing that has you dying to go back. Quality: Dutchess Diner served up pretty standard diner fare. We ordered a mix of breakfast and lunch items, and while nothing stood out as amazing, everything was solid. I started out with a Hot Chocolate, which provided some nice warmth on a cool rainy day. For an appetizer the Mozzarella Sticks were a good treat. The Dynamic Duo came with two eggs, two slices of bacon, two sausages, two ham, and two slices of french toast. The perfect breakfast option when you don't want to decide. The sausage was the highlight of the items, while I was not thrilled by the ham. We also got some okay French Fries on the side. Quantity: Good portions for all the items we ordered. Value: $3 for a Hot Chocolate. $9 for the Mozzarella Sticks. $11 for the Dynamic Duo. $3.50 for a Small French Fries. Ambiance: Dutchess Diner is a local diner a little south of Poughkeepsie in Upstate New York. It sits across the street from a mall and massive store complex, which definitely pulls in some hungry shoppers. It looks like a typical slightly dated diner from the outside. A lot of metal and tons of windows on each side. Inside it is booths and tables wrapping around the entire space with old jukeboxes at many of the tables. Extra barriers have been set-up between tables and they had many marked to keep empty. At the entrance they also seemed to have tables and chairs they removed from the space, or were potentially considering expanding outside. Crowd: It was about a ten-minute wait for a table. They had a constant flow going through, which even for a holiday was surprising on a Monday. Service: Extremely friendly waitress, but a little frantic because of the number of tables she was covering. Even with the reduction in tables, it seemed like they could use more staff. Parking: Large parking lot that stretches behind the diner.

Our friendly server Rob was extremely attentive and provided descriptions on the various entrees. I started with a light, delicious cherry Bellini.

My entree was the best Pasta Bolognese I've had in a very long time! I'm an Italian and it transcended me back to childhood in my mother's kitchen! The rich abundant meat flavor blended perfectly with the spiced tomato sauce! It was a truly delicious dish ladled over the cooked just right al dente pasta! Deliciousness at 100% ! I highly recommend it! Husband had the huge, thick cut , bone in pork chop! Unbelievable flavor! The glaze was deliciously savory with hidden tastes of sweet Asian over perfectly charred cut up sweet potatoes and sticky rice on the side. Both our dinners portions were very large offering plenty for another meal at home. This was our fourth visit to the restaurant . Next time we are traveling up here to Poughkeepsie for work from Boston area we will certainly return! Each visit gets better and better! It makes me realize why familiar faces return regularly to the restaurant. The owner Tom is so welcoming and friendly. The food is not only excellent but the friendly atmosphere the whole staff provide makes it a winning combination! You all are so lucky to have this restaurant near by! Deliciousness and the best hospitality with fair pricing is hard to beat! I wish I took pictures!

I wanted to make this memorable for all of us. Enter, Danny's Table. This little gem in the Village of Fishkill met every expectation and exceeded them. We took an early dining hour and were seated immediately by Arnoldo, the host, who checked often to assure that we were comfortable and satisfied. We were expertly served by two waitresses, Nayeli and Dyan. And then came the delicious food. The appetizers were so good that I forgot to take pictures of the entrees. I had it all. Great food, great service, and the excellent company I brought with me was already in the bag. I don't know how they could have achieved this level of excellent service and fine dining when they have only been open since September, 2025, but wow! I can only assure you that my siblings and I will be back. And, we will be back soon!

After dining at Shadows on the Hudson, we were elated because we had a beautiful dining experience and were ready for the next day. Came here for dinner on a Friday night and the place was lively and busy. I loved how there were different vibes throughout the restaurant. There was the main dining room that over looked the water, where we dined, a more chill lounge type area as well as a private room - all stunning in their own right. Our server was Nico and he was great - giving us his honest recommendations - from my mocktail to my friends choice of port wine. I had the ginger mule mocktail which was 10/10. To eat, I opened for the classic Caesar salad with crispy chicken which was soooo good and the portion was absolutely massive. A bunch of my friends got the filet in addition to the salmon. We all loved our meals and were the last ones in the place - as the place closed relatively early for a Friday, at 9. All in all, we had a beautiful experience - I only wished it was day time for a view of the bridge - but we were lucky enough to see it next day for the wedding next door. Thanks to Shadows on the Hudson for an amazing dinner!

Once we were seated at the bar (always our preference), I noticed that both the bar and dining areas are beautifully appointed. The bar's lounge area was very welcoming and the chairs looked like we could stay there for hours. We just might when we come back!! Our bartender greeted us with a smile and menus - from there, we ordered a Juice Bomb (IPA), and the Martini Rinaldi (vodka-gin martini). Let's just say I'm ruined for martinis forever and will ALWAYS want this martini. It's a perfect martini ... and I will fight anyone who tries to convince me otherwise. As far as food goes, we shared the Zucchini & Eggplant Chips. SO much food for just an appetizer (highly encourage sharing). Really flavorful chips, served with smooth tzatziki (nicely done!). Husband had the Bourbon Burger (lunch special). Properly cooked burger (med rare), juicy burger, good flavor, great ratio of burger to sauces/toppings, not overly messy but just right, and the fries were double-fried so they had that perfect crunch quality. I had the Crispy Chicken Sandwich (also a lunch special), and I have to say (again), the BEST chicken sandwich I've ever had. Beautifully crisped chicken, cabbage slaw, homemade pickles, chipotle mayo were perfectly flavored, seasoned, and balanced. It's like the perfect bite in an entire sandwich and doesn't leave your hands super messy. The sandwich is typically served with fries but I chose the house salad and it was a nice burst of freshness from a rich sandwich. That dressing is delish!! Overall... this was the kind of lunch that's WELL worth the 90 minute drive (because that's exactly what we did... haha). The Executive Chef (John Malone) is a talented individual and this place is a true Diamond on the Hudson. As a side note ... the real show-stopper is the views of the Hudson River. I couldn't get a proper picture - you'll just have to trust me. Can't wait to come back!!

    I unfortunately have mixed feelings about this place! I have been here many times and the photos…read moreare from a recent time where we got the $250 steak. So yeah as you can imagine this place is pricey and is definitely for a special occasion. On this visit we had exceptional service and they even brought us free caviar! I have seen them do this before. We had a girls night here one time and one of my friends got there early. As she waited they gave her a complimentary glass of champagne. This type of customer service is amazing and is what is expected of an establishment of this caliber. I mean a room at the hotel here will cost you about $1000 a night. So as you can guess it is not unusual to see celebrities here as well. Before I get into the food I will tell you what made me give them 3 stars. One morning I brought a friend here that was going through something. I wanted to treat her to a nice breakfast. We sat on there terrace by the fire pits. As I've said before I've been here often. The waiter who was not as friendly as I've had before told me in order to eat there I needed to put a card on file. Huh? I've never seen that before but okay sure. I mentioned how I would likely order something to go to for my husband at the end of our meal. The service was not great because they did not come back and when they finally did they swiped my card and gave me the final check. Huh? I never said I was finished and again I had already mentioned I wanted to order something to go. When I asked this new waitress ( the original guy was no where in sight) why they ran my card already because I specifically said I wanted to order something to go her nonchalant response was that she could just run it again. I've thought about that experience. It felt so off and I would have said something more at the time but again I was having breakfast with a friend who was going through something. Not the time to complain. So when I met someone who worked there at a diffrent event. I shared my experience and asked if this is a policy of there's to put a card on file to eat on the terrace. As you can guess it is not. Unfortunately, as you can imagine I felt discriminated against. I guess our waiter assumed I wouldn't pay my check and wanted to make sure he had my card and he swiped it as soon as he saw us take the last bites on our plates. After I talked to this employee I did write the restaurant to let them know of this experience and sadly I got no reply. I will say I have been back since then and did not get treated that way. But I felt like it's important to let others know. This is by no means a cheap restaurant especially in the economy! I would expect not to be made to feel the way I felt that day and would never want at one to feel that way. Benefit of the doubt maybe that waiter did have someone run out on his check in the past and wanted to ensure it did not happen again. I can understand that because I know some restaurants make the waiter pay for those walkouts, which is also not fair to them. It would have been nice though that when I contacted them about the situation they would have acknowledged what happened. And maybe just better training on how to go about the situation to make sure their customers don't feel like you assume they are criminals. Okay the food. First there French fries are a favorite. Random I know but I appreciate a good fry. The steak was cooked perfectly and the cocktails were got were a 10! I've had food from the breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu. The food is farm to table and I love sitting either outside or by the open kitchen as you watch the chefs cook. All and all I say it's worth going even for a cocktail. Sometimes they have live music playing and it's super cute for a nice date night. They do valet parking and have tons of charging stations.
