Love their burgers!! Jerk burger is worth it to try. Definitely will keep coming back.

Food was enjoyable! I got the double smash burger & a single burger for a toddler. We both enjoyed our meal and the fries were amazing! They use Martins potato buns :) We also got the chocolate chip cookies, enjoyable but not the best tasting cookies. Burgers 10/10, fries 10/10 & the cookies 4.5/10 read more

Sundaze Burgers - Double smash burger - Burgers Near Me - Poughkeepsie, New York

Now that I've been here a few times, I can confirm the hype: consistently damn good burgers. The watermelon lemonade is incredibly good, DO NOT SKIP! Surprise find: the chocolate chip cookie is decadent and an excellent topper to a splurge meal. Also, I didn't realize the side room was open, but it's nice sitting in there: lots of space and chill vibes. read more

We were looking for a good burger and I came across the good reviews and decided to try it. I followed the Waze directions and it brought me to a parking lot but I was initially confused because there was no sign of the business on the outside. We asked a bystander and he directed us inside the Academy. The place is not your typical joint. It almost feels like a venue with small vendors. The burgers and fries were a good portion but kinda greasy. I ordered the wings and they had a good taste and I liked the dill sauce on the side. It was something different although I think I would have preferred it thicker. Overall the place was descent, it does resemble Smashburger and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. read more

My 1st time here, most likely won't be my last. I've been hesitant to try Sundaze because the parking can either be non existent or you have to pay in the lot across the street. That being said, I sucked it up and paid the $1.50 to park. There are spots in front of the building, but if it's busy good luck! Anyway, I went in and the atmosphere was very clean and upbeat. I was greeted at the counter by a friendly young lady amd gave my order. I got the Chicken Sammie and Seasoned Fries. Within a few minutes I was handed my tray and sat down to eat. There are a lot of tables and every one of them was clean - so refreshing to have a spot that cleans quick after a lunch rush. Good job Sundaze staff! If you're not ready for a MEAL, don't cone Herr! My sandwich was enormous and the fries were plentiful enough to satisfy two appetites. The chicken sandwich was so clucking good! The variety of flavors all came together and had my pallet thinking it was a holiday. The seasoning on the fries was ridiculous - I haven't had fries that good...EVER. No exaggeration! All in all it was a really great experience and I highly recommend stopping in for a bite to eat. My only complaint, which took a star, was the music was loud and techno'ish. I hate loud music when I'm dining, and even worse when the genre sucks. I was there to eat, not drop acid. LOL read more

Sundaze Burgers - The OG!!!! - Burgers Near Me - Poughkeepsie, New York

This was the first place my husband and I visited when we moved to the area, and the place we have been the most often. We have been there around six times, and I feel confident in saying it is probably the best burger I have ever had. This includes my years before I became a vegetarian. Regular fries are great, but the cheese ones are unbelievable, we love them! The watermelon lemonade is so good and a perfect summer drink. The chocolate chip cookie was also amazing. There's nothing that we had there that we didn't love. It is a reliable place, consistently providing us with amazing food and good service, whether it is pickup or eat in. They're also pet-friendly and our dog had a great time in the external area :) The inside tables are also nice, and we really enjoy the vibe there. We will keep coming back! read more

A smash burger joint with reasonable prices!!! This place is out of this world. I've tried two different burgers. The original smash burger was great... flavorful and juicy. The Caribbean jerk burger was out of this world though. Perfectly spicy. Love the fries too!! Staff was very friendly, food was quick, and it's very clean inside. Was shocked they weren't busier, the burgers are sooo worth it. read more

Sundaze Burgers - Burger menu - Burgers Near Me - Poughkeepsie, New York

I got to come back tonight with the fam to give this place another try and it was everything I wanted it to be. The woman who took our order was delightful and was super apologetic about an A/C issue clearly out of their control, encouraging us to grab some water, sit wherever we like, etc. The menu has been updated to clearly state what's on each burger, which was much appreciated. I once again tried the Big Papi (with American cheese, no pickle, no sauce). It was very good. I could definitely taste the bacon jam this time (turns out it's a bit too sweet for my taste, but that's a me issue, my boyfriend liked it) and the burger was piping hot and quite good. My kiddos tried a double plain Jane (delicious!) and the chicken sammy (very good, but the bacon jam was also a bit sweet for their taste). We also tried the plain fries and the seasoned fries. Both were a hit. I didn't give the cheese fries another try, but I'd definitely come back. Next time I'll try a double Plain Jane with bacon or a Chicken sammy minus some toppings. read more

I've been looking for a great hamburger in Poughkeepsie, and up till now I haven't really found a great one. But with Sundaze burgers, the search is over. The burgers are incredibly good, with a flavor that just explodes in your mouth. Also, the French fries are perfect. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. read more

In the mood for a smashburger? On a potato bun?Nothing fancy just the real deal? You'll be hard pressed to find better in the Hudson Valley area. I think they easily beat Buns or Moonburger and they just slightly edge out Meyer's Olde Dutch (just for the burger, MOD wins in other categories). A good burger spot has to have great fries. These were solid but not memorable. Worth visiting whenever you have a craving. read more

Sundaze Burgers - Seasoned fries and "OG" Burger. Get it! - Burgers Near Me - Poughkeepsie, New York

This is the best burger I have had in Poughkeepsie and I'm a California transplant who takes burgers VERY seriously. The regular smashburger with sundaze sauce and potato bun with fries is a cheap and excellent meal! read more

Absolutely delicious chicken sandwich and seasoned fries. The food hall is cute too. You should try it!

Literally stopped by after my exam, best smash burger I ever had! Amazing staff, super chill spot, would drive up 90 miles again for it!

When we arrived at Sundaze, we were immediately welcomed by their friendly service, and a teen who was eager to give advice. Being new to Sundaze, we asked for recommendations, and were told about their smashburger technique, and the top sellers on the menu. Our advice for a first timer is to go with the OG burger (think: cheeseburger with carmelized onions). The "OG" is OMG good and is a smashburger done the right way. Our own teen went with the Bacon Papi, which was similar but with swiss cheese and bacon (duh). Really good ingredients. They skimp on the bun quality, which would be a pet peeve of mine, so props for that! We ordered the seasoned fries option, though I found it a little salty for my taste, yet still quite good. I'd probably recommend the unseasoned version. The location of Sundaze is in a place called "The Academy" which hosts a few places including a bar with a shared common seating area. It's a little like an indoor food pod model, though I'm not sure how many restaurants will cram in here in the end. When we visited, Sundaze was the only business running. If you're looking for your smashburger fix in this area, look no further. The menu is a bit limited, though they also have chicken wings and crab cakes too. read more

Absolutely great place. The fry size is very large. We ordered 1 for 3 people and that was ample. I had the classic burger. Very tasty. But hands down the best part was the customer service. They continually check in to see how everything was. Our fry was a little too crispy for us and when they checked in we mentioned it and without missing a Best we had new fries. When we ordered something they came and asked if we wanted to keep it on the warmer until we were ready to go. A spot with good food is always good but a spot with great customer service is 2nd to none. read more

Amazing food! Burgers and cheese fries plus their desserts are on POINT! Def a good place to hit sober or not so sober - they're open late!!

Sundaze burgers are really really good. Ordered a side of fries and it was bigger than expected and very delicious. I would recommend 100 percent. - Anton Ego Approves read more

These burgers are probably illegal since they have hijacked my taste buds! The staff is super nice & the location very convenient. Meet your friends here & turn them on to an amazing food at Sundaze Smashburgers read more

The consistency with flavor is comparable to a National Chain with the comfort of home. Whenever I think about a burger and fries the only place that comes to mind is Sundaze. Portion size is great and is satisfying every single time. Double OG and the seasoned fries. The team at Sundaze is very sincere, accommodating, and takes tremendous pride in their food. The tone set in the space matches the expectations of the food quality. This is one of those places you will not forget. read more

So I'm driving through Poughkeepsie NY hungry and I come across this "Academy " building with parking in the street or across the street. I walk in and I am instantly greeted by this guy "the manager" super friendly. I order the OG cheese burger with fries. I'm on a diet, but I'm killing that today. The service was quick and friendly. Atmosphere was fun, clean and inviting. I have to take it to go as I'm headed to my next appointment so I reach in the bag and grab a few fries on my walk back to the car. Instantly I'm in love. Crispy and flavored. I sat in the car and started on my way, I pull the burger out and it's massive. Not thick, but a great smash burger. The tase reminded me of a high end steak sandwich. It's burger, but so much more flavor than I expected. 5 stars! Great job! read more

We were in Poughkeepsie this weekend for a wedding. On both nights we stayed there we ordered late night from Sundaze. The burgers were amazing. Everyone absolutely loved them. I got the jerk burger one night and the OG the next. If you are in the area I highly recommend this place!!! read more

I called this place to verify if their buns have dairy in them due to an allergy for my 11 yr old nephew and they told me no. So I ordered through a third party app to place an order at a later time. After eating the food we had gotten my nephew had started having severe stomach aches and feeling nauseous. As we cook all his food for him this was the only outlier that had happened. When I called the restaurant back, the manager said that they had a gluten free burger bun that is also vegan and acted as if the fault was all on us. He also gave us the most insincere apology as if to just get me off the phone. Now my nephew is suffering has had diarrhea and has thrown up. He hasn't been in the mood to eat since he's been in pain. This experience completely overshadowed what the food tasted like, but it wasn't memorable. Someone else later called back and gave me a more sincere apology. He did mention that someone tried to call me back. When i looked i did have a missed call but there was no voicemail to indicate what it was about. Just be extra cautious if you have an allergy and are ordering from here. read more

today may 21st 2026 Around 5:55 pm my (pregnant fresh out of the hospital with heart problems) wife and 7 year old daughter and I went to meet here for my lunch break my wife has a hard time holding down food we orders loaded fries , the bacon papi -onions and with American cheese ($25.88) and then ordered seasoned fries and a lamb burger with one water this was ($24.06) when my wife went to eat baby didn't agree so when I got my lamb burger It wasn't ever touched or even unwrapped it , was just handed to me not even 2 min before I asked may I get a refund on the lamb burger as I'll eat what's been touched by my wife but I need to get her Something else she can eat the cook and cashier was very nice and willing to either make something or refund us but the manager bulldozed and proceeded to question why and when telling him the reasoning he laughed and said well she's pregnant cant give a refund on touched food which my wife Hurd and made her cry , how his demeanor was not helpful he didn't offer a to replace or let her try something else and refused to take back the untouched meal and give the refund of $14 for the untouched lamb burger I'm not one to write reviews and no disrespect to the place or other works but the lack of sympathy , care for customer satisfaction spending almost $50 on food we couldn't and didn't even eat more then one bite of is absolutely rude and classless as an individual if it would have been your wife or child wouldn't you want money you spend to be able to be at least eaten the other employees came to apologize for their bosses rudeness and inconsideration, and said the only reason they wouldn't have one is because he has already said no otherwise they wouldn't have minded making her a new thing and or giving the refund we had just got it and they saw that we didn't even open the second burger at all because I could've ate the rest of my wife's was already touched and got the refund for only a burger, which was only $14 back. They still had more than enough profit off the rest of the stuff that we read more

Where to begin? What a gem! We were in the area visiting the children's museum and ran across this place for lunch. First, whoever designed the interior of the Academy, bravo what a whole vibe. I love the wallpaper! The service was fantastic- friendly, quick, and genuine. They even took an interest in the kiddos. Food- we ordered the chicken sandwich, OG burger, and the jerk burger. My husband usually hates slaw and he loved the jerk burger without changes. The cheesy fries were the only thing we couldn't finish! We will def be back. read more

The smash burger is a hit. Loaded fries also hit the spot. I took 1 star out because they charge $1 for tap water.

The service was amazing. Loved the man that took my order he was very kind and almost gave a homey southern vibe. They have games that you can play with a group and the place has a clean comfortable modern vibe. The food was amazing. Crab cakes 10/10 and the chicken Sammie was excellent not to mention the smash burgers. I'm so sorry I didn't get a picture of the crab cakes. They are meaty and almost flourless. They are the best crab cakes in the Hudson Valley read more

Have been wanting to go there for awhile now and stopped in early Sunday. The owner was walking in at the same time as I did....She did not hesitate to help me right away because she knew I was in a rush. But what a burger. It was one of the best burgers I have had and you cannot beat the price. I have to go back when I can sit down and enjoy it because this is a must visit place. read more

I ordered from them two nights in a row on door dash! First night..wings, cheese fries and a burger! Burger never showed..I called the store directly and the guy was extremely polite and apoplectic..I said I get it and mistakes happen! So I ordered again tonight..two burgers and two fries..and guess what..one of the fries is not there and ALL of the food cold! Never again! Poor customer service and poor Food! read more

Best burger I have ever eaten! French fries hand cut!! Owner operated which is great . Very passionate about what they are putting out .

Gonna be honest, I was super excited to try this place. Looks fun and has great reviews. But, not sure if they gave me the impossible burger or if it is just straight up bad, but it wasnt good. Tasted like an italian beef, not any burger I've ever had. read more

We are 3 Australians traveling the USA and we decided to grab some dinner here tonight and by far the best burgers we have tasted yet! My daughter got the Plain Jane, my husband got the Cheat Day Chilli and I got the Chicken Sammy. They were bloody amazing! The serving was also great! My daughter said her Nutella Brownie was one of the best brownies she has ever eaten and the kid has eaten a lot of brownies in her 16 years! I also got the Banana Pudding which was extremely tasty! Especially being a vegan dessert where sometimes taste can get lost. This husband and wife team should give themselves a huge pat on the back! The place was also had a really cool, relaxed vibe to it! Would definitely recommend and I will be adding it to our travel blog! read more

Amazing Smashburgers with gourmet toppings. I highly recommend the lamb burger, it is well spiced and perfectly grilled. I appreciate the chefs willingness to substitute toppings as I have issues eating dairy. My visit was on a Saturday night and I was able to sit in the bar area in the rear of the food hall and order a beer. A delicious experience. read more
