Restaurants in Kingston

“What a gem of a place! I sat outside with some friends - we ordered inside and a server brought the drinks out. To my surprise they have cynar and were willing to make a cynar spritz! Delicious. I also tried the pineapple margarita, too. Refreshing. It's really cute inside.
Yet, this lovely night could have been a bad memory. Buzzing on good drinks, atmosphere and conversation, I left my (beloved, expensive) sunglasses behind...gasp! The staff not only rescued them, but were willing to make sure they made their way back to me. 10/10 for Stockade Tavern. Will come again and again.”

“Super amazing pastries in a lovely shop! A must try!”

“Best little place in the world!”

“We stopped in there to try it and we’re not disappointed. Excellent cold brew and the breakfast sandwiches were some of the best I’ve had, definitely will be going back”

“The mickeysrib is killer! So is the ice cream!! My compliments to the new young man who made it tonight! It was delish!”

“drinks, appetizer, entrée, dessert. everything was very good. I want to come back and try more dishes!”

“Just ordered for the first time and we will go back!! Shrimp tacos were amazing and salsa and guacamole were amazingly fresh!! Highly recommend!”

“Amazing smoothies and delicious wraps. Liz , Joe and Annie are the best!”

“A real home cook meal! Can I tell yuh! No where better than yard”

“I really can’t say enough good things about Frank Guido’s Little Italy. From the owners, staff, food… everything. My family & I have shared numerous celebrations and dinners here over the years but nothing will ever top doing our wedding reception with them in May. The amazing service and care we received that night and leading up to it meant so much to us that it’s hard to even put into words how thankful we are. Special recognition to Marie who spent months talking with me, organizing, and making sure everything was perfect.. & it was!! Also, Amanda who made sure we were taken care of all night. You are both exceptional and I can’t thank you enough..And to all the other staff that made our wedding night amazing as well.. THANK YOU!! To top it off today getting a letter in the mail from Mark thanking us for holding our reception with them. Truly made our day and proves we made the right choice when we decided to do a smaller reception at a local spot we love so much! I would recommend them to anyone, for any event, big or small! 10/10! ❤️ -Nicole & Derrick Jackson”

“Friendly, competent staff who all work together. Amazing sushi. Make reservations!”

“Amazing food and service easily the best the the surrounding area”

“Amazing wine selection (Beer and Cicer too) and unique foods. Their Cheese plate is scrumptious. The owners are so lovely and the atmosphere is chic. It's a great place to gather with a few friends.”

“My wife Donna and I just enjoyed a fabulous Valentines Day dinner at Downtown Cafe. We have enjoyed Graziano's culinary artistry for 30 years now, (since the days of Mary Ps), and he just keeps getting better. My wife had the shortribs, and I had the sushi grade tuna with mushrooms and we enjoyed every bite. The service and atmosphere are the best. I would highly recommend the Downtown Cafe for a delicious, relaxing meal and great hometown atmosphere.”

“I have had the pleasure of tasting the dill potato salad twice. I can say it is far surpassed my expectations and I look forward to having it again.”

“Best place in Kingston for a drink and/or dinner! We recently moved to the area and have visited Mirador a few times, each time was incredible. We now bring any friends or family who visit here! Also, love that they serve chips with their vermouth. Great little snack at the end of a long day.”

“Fabulous meal and great service. Everything we had was made to order. Fresh and excellent. I look forward to going there the next time I come to the area. Had the soup, endive salad and chicken dish.”

“It's our "Cheers"!! It's our go-to option for our weekly Date Nite!”

“Had a great experience with our waitress Alexis .. Alexis had a great personality and checked in on us often. Food was delicious and portions were perfectly sized. Will definitely go back when In the area.”

“I don't usually write reviews but I was so impressed by this restaurant that I felt obliged to let other people know what they were missing. From our cocktails to dessert everything was top notch ... fresh, delicious, and presented beautifully. The margaritas, both Frozen and straight up we're a perfect balance of lime and sweetness with a choice of different salted, sweet or spicy rim flavors. You can also get a flight of three different flavored margaritas including coconut, raspberry, and mango. All were delightful but coconut was the favorite. Our main course of fish tacos and portbella/spinach enchilada was fresh, colorful and delicious served with rice and beans. There are plenty of vegetarian options. The portions are plentiful and the prices are very reasonable. And I can't say enough about the friendly service and staff.... all super friendly and cheery....even the owner Guadalupe came to stop at our table and welcome us to her restaurant with a free dessert of creamy, light, melt in your mouth Key lime pie....save room....YUM! They even welcomed my dog, Goldilocks. What a wonderful find! I will definitely go back there again as often as I can. I had such a lovely evening and even had a conversation with the friendly people at the next table who were regulars. I left with a full belly, a smile on my face and a hug from Guadalupe.”

“A delicious dinner with lovely warm ambiance. My husband had the Bronzino and I had the lamb shank. Both dishes were delightful. This was followed by divine tasting flourless chocolate cake. Bravo!”

“Braved temps in the 20’s, snowy/icy roads last evening to enjoy Taco Tuesday! Had the blackened scallop tacos… they were were absolutely outstanding! Always generous portions, the freshest ingredients, the nicest staff, and reasonable prices! Brava and Bravo! ❤️🌮❤️🌮👏👏👏👏👏 Thank You Santa Fe Uptown!”

“Came here not familiar or by a recommendation just looked up restaurants in Kingston and took a chance. Everyone at our table got something different and the dishes were cooked to perfection. The calamari was so tender and the Buffalo sauce to go with it was a nice change. John was our waiter and when we come back we are requesting him. He was always knowledgeable and accommodating. Had to put this review in and will be coming back”

“Top shelf!!! We had a group of 17 for lunch. Everyone raved about the excellent food and the wonderful and friendly service. Our menu included London Broil, Salmon, Ceasars Salad with Chicken and Vegetable Quiche with side salad. We had a variety of servings. Everything was sooooo good! Best restaurant in Kingston. We couldn't have chosen a better place.”

“My son says this is the only place to get great crispy tofu,not like the mushy stuff he gets elsewhere. And it was delicious crispy tofu, and everything else we tried was excellent, very relaxing, and great people. I've been craving food like this and this is it.”

“Had great wings and salad at the restaurant, along with amazing service.”

“Another fantastic meal Front Street Tavern!! Fabulous food (bang-bang shrimp and smash burger my favs, but constantly evolving menu) Staff and owners top notch! So fortunate for Kingston. Do yourself a favor and check it out!!”

“Cool atmosphere, good coffee and really tasty sandwiches!”

“This cafe is a gem. Not only does the cafe have great food but I especially love the carefully curated specialty items, grab and go meals and family style takeaways for those busy days and catering options to making hosting a breeze. Quality and convenience.”

“This is the only place I will get Chinese food from and I can’t believe it took me so long to find it. I usually get onion fried rice and broccoli and it’s always so good”

“Great local brewery right in the middle of it all yet, secretly blending in with the neighborhood! Have an organic beer palette on your tongue and enjoy the unique Kingston microbrew 🍺🍻”

“Delicious food, friendly staff and atmosphere. Highly recommended”

“the best people service and food”

“everything thing is delicious. the people are all awesome”

“Great coffee, great service, attentive atmosphere”

“On a road trip, I found Terri's by googling delis. The Thanksgiving panini caught my eye. It was a GREAT sandwich. Travel buddies rated the Pastrami Reubin & Turkey Bacon Cheddar 5 stars also.”

“First thing I noticed was the beautiful engraved door. Very friendly atmosphere. We were offered drinks while waiting to be seated for dinner. I had a coconut margarita which was amazing! I normally don’t drink margaritas. The guacamole was so fresh! Delicious! My husband and daughter loved the calamari! My husband got the Casa Villa Seafood, he was in heaven! The portions were large we left with two bags of food. The staff from start to finish were really impeccable! 10 out of 10. We will be returning!”

“Usually offers good bread. But is very wishy washy on their "old bread sales" prices. If it's a day old it should be discounted - period. (I have worked for almost four years in a bakery) This is being aggregated by the fact that I was not notified of this pricing structure when I asked for day old bread (with the specific intend to get a discount for something that is not fresh and won't last me as long). Had I been informed about this, I would have just bought the same bread *fresh* - for the *same price*. I feel that the omission of this fact is even done purposely to mislead customers.”

“If you love eggplant, this is your spot! Not deep fried with so much breading that you can't taste the eggplant! Sauce is plentiful with the dish, and salad is fresh with an amazing house garlic dressing! My second time here and it did not disappoint!!”

“Ate here Oct. 6. Never been here before and I wish I did. Probably the cheapest prices for ice cream/sundaes I've seen in the HV region.
I got a medium sundae with cherry soft serve and it was very good.
Cashier and workers are friendly and fast.
Definitely will come back”

“Eclectic place. A cross between an old Irish pub and kind of almost a modern day hip hop club.

Good beers, Super Kitty was exceptional. Good service. Stop in”

“We have used Gwenn and Stone Soup Food Company to cater two events now and have been so impressed! Everything was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and served with care. All of our guests were coming back for seconds and thirds and asking where the food was from. Both times it was easy to work with Stone Soup and they were responsive and quick to respond. Thank you for everything and we highly recommend them!”

“Had the most delicious meal last night - the oven bread was steaming and so light and airy. The Caesar salad was perfect - I had a special with tortellini that was also my lunch and dinner today! Wonderful staff and a relaxed atmosphere. Truly a gem!!”

“Ordered a butterfly shaped cake for our little girls first birthday and we were blown away with how perfect it came out (and how delicious)!”

“Wowowowow the food was soo tasty! I ordered the combination plate of platanos con crema, frijoles y taco de pollo QUE RICO also several pupusas that were all so flavorful and filling. I loved the picked onion and cabbage that comes with them. This is my new spot!!”

“We wandered into Chleo on a weekend getaway and left plotting how soon we could come back. Every dish left us wishing we had come with a larger group so we could try even more dishes. Our waitress recommended we share 5-6 dishes between us. Here is what we tried:

- Spaghetti Alla Nerano: the kind of summer pasta dish you dream about. Honestly, we could’ve happily eaten a whole vat of it.
- Pork Schnitzel: perfectly crisp on the outside and tender inside.
- Scallop Crudo: bright and refreshing with peaches, melon, and pineapple.
- Tomato Pie: another standout. The cornmeal crust was so good we joked that if they made a foot-long version, it would be the perfect bite.
- Smashed Cucumbers were a hit too, pairing beautifully with smoked and whipped trout roe and fresh dill.

Between the perfect flavors and the warm, relaxed vibe, Chleo is definitely a must-visit for a date night or a group dinner in Kingston.”

“food is delicious the workers is clean and polite a must have when you want authentic REAL food.”

“So many community members, businesses, friends & family, came together to support the Gribbon family in their recent renovation at the new location. The new High Falls Cafe is beautiful! It has the same welcoming atmosphere as its previous location, but this is so much better! Food and service are great, and they have been very busy since opening a few weeks ago. If you want to ensure that you can get a table, make a reservation in advance!”

“Meatball subs are so good, if u like a lot of sauce, make sure u ask for it!
Pizza is always good!!

I was bummed when the girl told me the other day that baked ziti had meat sauce!
That was a flat out lie! I would have never gotten it.
So about 20 dollars for noodles and sauce oh and some cheese! I will keep five stars because this is just my review!”

“My husband and I go there all the time. Foods great along with great service. Highly recommend it👏👏”

“Delicious food and great service!”

“I asked them for salsa to dip my chips in and they asked me what I meant by salsa. I described salsa and they told me it was in the bag, but it wasn't. But like what do you mean, what do I mean by salsa?! Did you think I was asking for marinara?

The tacos were standard, the other restaurants nearby have similar. But like... Salsa. Probably going to a restaurant that knows what salsa is in the future instead. 🤦”

“I used to look forward to eating there. But the last two times I had the worst servers. One never came back to check after she dropped off my food. I had wanted a soda refill and another napkin, had to find her to get my check. Last night I came in and was told the kitchen was about to close so I needed to hurry up (I just sat down at about 9:25 pm). I ordered right away. An ice water and a coke and a meatball parm sub. I was lucky to get my soda with her attitude. No ice water was brought or acknowledged at all. I took a few bites of my food and she asked if I wanted a box. I was really irritated. If they told me to go only I would have been fine. But the way I was handled made me angry. I ate quickly and left. If I choose to get something again , it will be to go. Honestly, Caitlyn is the best server there. She is five stars. The others are not worth a dime.”

“Love the food! Cute restaurant, has a parking lot, and the service is excellent! I love the cactus burrito bowl and the guacamole is delicious. It’s like being back in Southern California.”

“very good food and good staff”

“First time there and will definitely be back!!!”

“Had a wonderful time with Carmela and Tinaya (sp) this morning... The Breakfast sandwich and coffee were outstanding!!! Service is great... Stop in and see the Girls, you won't regret it...! PS, I am coming back for those cheese grits! 💖💖💖”

“Pleasantly surprised how fresh the fruits, toppings and other products are. The owner was incredibly personable and made easy, flowing conversation. I am from the Albany area where Açaí/Pitaya Bowls are very popular— I was SO excited to learn about Turn Up The Beet right here on Broadway. 10/10 recommend.”

“This restaurant is the best in town we order from them all the time never an issue . Always delicious food anything you try, big portions and nice staff. I highly recommend y’all try it out. Oh and that chocolate cake is to die for huge pieces too.”

“Always fast, fresh and delicious and totally reliable. A very well run operation!”

“One of my favorite places to enjoy great coffee, events, amazing food and even better people. We love our Kingston community and we love you CAMP!! So grateful you are here ???”

“They give back to the community and are passionate and very knowledgeable about issues they support.”

“Amazing sandwiches, soup and wraps and awesome customer service! 10/10 would recommend!😊”

“I recently stopped into Kelly’s Shamrock Tavern, and let me tell you—this place is everything a real neighborhood bar should be. As soon as I walked in, it felt like I had stepped into a warm memory. No frills, no fake smiles—just good people, cold drinks, and an atmosphere you can’t fake.

The bartenders are the kind of folks you instantly feel comfortable talking to—friendly, attentive, and they know how to pour a perfect drink. The crowd? A great mix of locals, regulars, and folks just there for a good time. Everyone’s chill, no egos, no drama.

I played a few games of pool, caught some laughs with people I’d never met before, and genuinely didn’t want to leave. There’s just something about Kelly’s—it’s got soul. You can feel the history in the walls, and it’s still alive and thriving today.

If you’re in Kingston and want a break from the trendy spots or overpriced cocktails, come to Kelly’s. It’s authentic, it’s welcoming, and honestly, we need more places like this. I’ll definitely be back—and I’m bringing friends next time.”

“Hands down best deli in Kingston! both the food and service is top notch!”

“Great people! , even better food 👌 👏”

“This past weekend we had our son’s birthday catered by Salamone's Italian Foods. The food was delicious and the price was even better. We ordered a 1/2 tray of chicken francese, penne alla vodka, sausage and peppers and a tossed salad. The chicken francese was thin and tender and the francese sauce was a perfect lemony, velvet consistency. Penevodka was so delicious it was a traditional vodka sauce that had an amazing flavor with little pieces of pancetta. Sausage and peppers were out of this world. The peppers and onions were fresh and not over cooked. The sausage had a mild/heat and was also very tender. Lastly the toss salad was fresh and beautifully made with cucumbers, fresh romaine lettuce, peppers and homemade croutons. Communication was a breeze, Annie is fabulous and gets back to you right away. She even delivered the food to our house! We will definitely be ordering with them again!!”

“So good! It’s my new favorite place for a quick meal. Tacos are fresh and the street corn in a cup is a must.”

“My hubby is from NY but I'm from the South. We stopped by to get lunch after family suggested it. OMG!!!! The best sub I've ever tasted. I got The Big and he got The Godfather. Can't wait to visit again. Not only was the food awesome but the staff were friendly and prices reasonable :)”

“The girls at the counter are a pleasure and the pizza delicious and if u haven’t tried the salad bar it’s a must !!”

“When we go back to our old stomping ground, we go to this location for the best Michigan style hotdogs around.
We have been coming here for a long time, always good every time. Every thing is really good.
Breakfast served all day.
Cash only, ATM on premises.”

“A trip to the past.The neighborhood bar on the corner.Freindly bar tenders and a cozy atmosphere.Highly recommend if you want to revisit a place that will allow you to unwind. on a barstool and chat with your neighbors.”

“Amazing food! I always get the chicken tacos. But the plantains are just always the best part of my visit! They melt in your mouth! Don’t be scared of this location! The owner is very nice and lovely woman. She makes great food. The area is decorated with potted flowers and picnic tables. Best bite to eat within walking distance of the bus station.”

“I sent people there. They had the most amazing service, and food was great. Always friendly. I recommend! Very respectful family. 10 stars! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”

“I've become something of an M.T. Wentz figure: my fame in the Hudson Valley food scene has grown to a point where I can no longer give my name for an order or reservation without raising some eyebrows. This, however, is not a problem at Ollie's. A true New York slice shop, they simply take your order and yell it back out at you 3 seconds before it's ready—piping hot. No time for names. Famous? Big whoop. Next in line (please). Those who are not from the area may consider this to be a lack of service or regard for the clientele. But in reality it is a form of hidden egalitarianism that can only be found where high velocity is the culture.”

“Popped in after hair cut. Vinnie and Jeff were friendly, worked well together, got my order quickly, and enjoyed the delightful banter. Clean, well maintained, I’ll be back!”

“We ate there today for lunch; the service was great and so was the food. We had a wonderful waitress named Unique and she seated us within two minutes. I ordered the fish and chips and my friend, the coconut shrimp. Very satisfying. So glad I did not let some bad reviews stop us from eating there.”

“Beef, tofu, mushrooms, scallions & broccoli in spicy garlic sauce- EXCELLENT!”

“Top shelf!!! We had a group of 17 for lunch. Everyone raved about the excellent food and the wonderful and friendly service. Our menu included London Broil, Salmon, Ceasars Salad with Chicken and Vegetable Quiche with side salad. We had a variety of servings. Everything was sooooo good! Best restaurant in Kingston. We couldn't have chosen a better place.”

“I remember that bar very well ,my grandfather owned Rene’s restaurant next door also the sunny side bar across the street those were the 70’s”

“A real home cook meal! Can I tell yuh! No where better than yard”

“Another fantastic meal Front Street Tavern!! Fabulous food (bang-bang shrimp and smash burger my favs, but constantly evolving menu) Staff and owners top notch! So fortunate for Kingston. Do yourself a favor and check it out!!”

“Fast Friendly Service and delicious bagels! Just a bit disappointed with the sandwiches - I have tried a few from Bacon Egg Cheese to Rueban etc and they have been so light on the meat like a few thin slices, tiny bit of cheese etc. mostly all bread :( I will keep ordering the wonderful bagels just not the sandwiches.”

“Picked up an awesome meal last night from here. I was amazed that everything was accounted for and they didn't skimp on anything. Was a very pleasant experience and the food was very good. Also very reasonably priced. The woman at the to go counter was very nice too. She does a good job. I wish I would've tipped more now, but now I know for next time. Most places always forget something or mess up something, but my dinner was spot on. My order was ready right on time as well.”

“really good burger joint 😋 can't get any better than moonburger”

“Ordered a butterfly shaped cake for our little girls first birthday and we were blown away with how perfect it came out (and how delicious)!”

“Today was my first truly terrible experience at this location. There were tons of people working - we were told they’re overlapping for the later shift to come in. The line was out of almost everything. They were out of soda. The kids were standing around chatting and yawning. The kid cutting meat was chewing on a large mouthful of something. With his mouth open. Over the protein he was cutting. With so many people behind the counter, we still had to wait several minutes to pay. The table area was filthy - the chairs, tables and floor all had food everywhere. I’m shocked - this location is generally really good. And in a busy weekend with so many people on shift there’s really no excuse.”

“Best little place in the world!”

“My husband and I go there all the time. Foods great along with great service. Highly recommend it👏👏”

“Amazing food ! Sweet staff and beautiful dining . Loved the lunch menu so delicious.Highly recommend to try lunch . We will be coming back for dinner with the whole family .”

“Cool atmosphere, good coffee and really tasty sandwiches!”

“I sent people there. They had the most amazing service, and food was great. Always friendly. I recommend! Very respectful family. 10 stars! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”

“food wos cold some food didn't taste well”

“We stopped in there to try it and we’re not disappointed. Excellent cold brew and the breakfast sandwiches were some of the best I’ve had, definitely will be going back”

“Amazing food and service easily the best the the surrounding area”

“My husband and I meet a friend here. We hadn't seen each other for at least 15 years. The food was excellent, the cheesecake was outstanding. It's worth a visit.”

“I’ve struggled with finding really delicious wings in the area. It seems like Buffalo was the only place to go-until now. I was recommended to this place and I’m very happy with the quality of the wings. I had Thai and extra hot wings. The only thing is that the extra hot wasn’t hot at all to me. But that’s just me and that certainly doesn’t take away from the quality of the food and the excellent service. Next time I’ll just specify exactly how hot I want the wings. I highly recommend Hickory to anyone who is looking for delicious smoked food.”

“The mickeysrib is killer! So is the ice cream!! My compliments to the new young man who made it tonight! It was delish!”

“We came to get takeout for our anniversary and we were not disappointed! Mercedes and Team are so kind and generous and the food matched their energy - clearly made with love! We had the fish plate with 2 sides (Mac and cheese and coleslaw) the fried chicken plate with 2 sides (Mac and cheese and potato salad) and their dessert - coconut pineapple cake in a cup. All the food was excellent, especially the fried fish. Beautifully seasoned and prepared! Mac and cheese is very flavorful and cheesy. Both the salads were good and I look forward to trying more sides! The desserts were phenomenal and we even got to try the sweet potato cheesecake which is SUBLIME and some sweet potato cornbread which was heavenly! You can be sure we will be back again!”

“Mmm, I was looking for some lunch, found a delicious slice of vegetable quiche! AND a beautiful raspberry linzer torte! T'was $11.50. YUM, I am more than satiated. Their menu changes daily. Go...”

“Visited here for lunch with my daughter, while in Kingston. I was very satisfied with the entire experience. The food, service, and atmosphere was excellent! Ihad the shrimp burritos! Nice size portions. I would definitely visit again!”

“My son (8) and I did Pickleball 101 and it was great. We both quickly saw how much fun pickleball can be. Noticed right away how clean, organized, and welcoming Dink was. Nice seating area for spectators as well. We will definitely be back.”
