“Service was great. Food was good but not great.
Roast chicken, not all that good
Steak special, just okay
Hamburger, very good but, $28 for a burger and fries”
“Stockade is the coziest bar in town. The lighting, seating, music is all great. I love the pretzels, pickled eggs, and other bar snacks. As well, they make great drinks and have stellar service. A Kingston institution”
“Excellent Spanish tapas! I’ve eaten in Spain and Portugal and Mirador’s tapas are authentic. And the craft cocktails, wow, I think the best I ever experienced in the Catskills! Can’t wait to return. Thank you Mirador for a wonderful dining experience!”
“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.”

“Located in the Stockade part of historic Kingston, this cheery restaurant has a great ambiance, with 2 large dining rooms and a full bar. On a cold and snowy winter Sunday, our group of 4 enjoyed cocktails and some snacks while touring the area.
The cocktails were awesome - we had 3 specialty margaritas (black and gold) and a Fig and Honey Martini, which was very sweet.
The appetizers were a hit or miss: wings were ok, the flatbread with prosciutto and fig wasn't to our liking but the thai shrimp were good, but I was surprised the dish only had 2 skewers of shrimp.
Overall a nice lunch. Very friendly service. On a Sunday, there weren't much choices for a meal in the area midday.”
“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.”
“What a treasure in uptown Kingston! It was a last minute decision to find a good salad last night. Well, we hit gold! The salads were unique and delicious! The presentation was beautiful. Max the bartender/server was one of the most charming people I’ve met in a long while. I will be back to try everything n the menu!”

“My wife and I played Pickleball today for the first time. We had a great experience. The “Pickleball 101” course that Dink offers is a great program at this club. For just $30/person you got an hour of instruction and use of the Club’s equipment. The instructor (Joey) did a fabulous job of leading us through some basic ball handling drills, explaining the rules for Pickleball and then engaged us in a short game that effectively tied everything together. Joey‘s instructional skill was outstanding and he made the hour long class, fun, informative, and productive. If you are a beginner, I can’t think of a better way to dip your toe into this exciting and enjoyable sport. The staff at Dink were friendly and accommodating and we were happy we visited this venue for our first foray into Pickleball.”
“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!”
“This restaurant beyond exceeded my expectations. We were greeted and seated immediately by a kind and attentive staff. The dining room was filled with wonderful art and an incredible aroma. The French onion soup had a tad of sweetness and a rich oniony flavor. They offered a special beet salad which is one of my favorite dishes and it was excellent. The duck was cooked to perfection with a beautiful fruity compote and incredibly creamy buttery mashed potatoes. I can’t wait to return to try the steak!”
“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.”
“Small menu but very good. My best compliment to this restaurant is their margaritas. They are the most genuine margaritas you will find, not some 20 ounce full of fillers and sour mix crap. The margaritas alone are why I still trek up to Armadillos. Their use of radishes in the food is also refreshing and delicious”
“Amazing food . If you’re looking for fresh delicious food then check out this place. We had the Arthur Ave salad , Chicken Milanese , the carbonara , the tiramisu and the mocha latte. All I can say is WOW 🤩 . Left with full bellies . The mocha latte was the best latte I ever had. The rest of the food was so fresh you will leave feeling full but not that gross full feeling . Will definitely be coming back to try something else !”
“Serviceable takeout Chinese food, but a little less flavorful preparations than I've had at other takeout places (i.e., drier, not spiced/sauced as well, small portion for a large dish).
It is good enough in a bind, convenient location, but not my first choice locally.”
“WOW ITS BEEN ALONG TIME AGO But all I can say is eat enjoy and have a great time 🥂 Oh 🤔 also have a drink or two 🙌🏼❤️ NEW YORK STYLE BETTER YET 🇮🇹🍝 SALUTE ‼️”
“Love Christina’s! It’s nice to go where you know what you are getting has the same flavors that you love. Portions are large and well worth it. Everything was yummy and the staff is so friendly.”

“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”
“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!”
“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!!”
“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!!”
“I've been following Steve's for a while now since seeing their subs online. Finally got here today and had THE BEST SUB OF MY LIFE. Hands down! The Godfather is the sub to end all subs. I'm going to think about this thing in my dreams. I will from now on make excuses for why I need to go to Kingston. Go to Steve's you will not be disappointed!”
“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 🍺🍻”
“Just went for the first time i’ve been hearing my friends talk about it for awhile now, this one and the new paltz one. My friend decided to take me to lunch today and i’m so happy she did. The food was absolutely delicious i had the pork carnitas, yummy margaritas i had the fresh orange the chips and salsa yummy. Max our waiter was very friendly even gave us a complimentary pineapple shot. I will definitely be back if you haven’t tried this place yet please do you wont regret.”

“Their turkey hoagie is one of the best sandwiches I have eaten in maybe my entire life … add pesto and you will be in heaven. Takes a little while to actually get your food so sit back and relax and stay a while. Theres a pool table and arcade games in the back, very chill, kid friendly - no table service (order at the counter!)”
“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.”
“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.”
“I had lunch at the Market Basket today enjoyed a cup of their wonderful chicken and wild rice soup. It was definitely Hardy and tasty and hit the spot . I then ordered a turkey and cheese sub to take home I have not eaten it yet however it is huge it'll be enough for three meals. Will definitely be going back”
“Si tu quieres la mejor burrito en la ciudad, tienes ganas de prober la Enchilada, puerco picante. Soy una persona habitual y tenia experiencias regulares con sabor phenomenal y en punto todos los veces. La salsa roja lo hacen es un adición perfecta para complementer el sabor de este burrito, en mis opiniones. If you want the best burrito in Kingston, you have to try the enchilada, spicy pork. I’m a regular customer and in my experiences, the flavor is on point and phenomenal every time. They have red or green salsa, in my opinion the red one they make complements the flavor of this one perfectly.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”

“We stopped in today for an early dinner and are so happy we did! We started with the bone-in chicken wings — Crack BBQ & Cajun Honey — and let me tell you, that Crack Sauce is AMAZING 👏. I had the Biggie chicken sandwich, and the chicken was seasoned to perfection. Rosanna was such a pleasure to chat with during our meal — super friendly and full of great insights about the area. Can’t wait to come back!”
“Came to town for a modest mouse concert. Walked around for what seems like forever until I found this little gem. From the moment we walked in we were greeted warmly by amanda, and the food was amazing, reasonably priced, and the atmosphere is so chill and just awesome. Thanks Amanda for the great service.”
“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 :)”

“Great hamburger and tater Tots. Intimate performance space in the back.”
“After hiking to Kaaterskill Falls, my lovely wife and I had lunch here as part of our Anniversary Weekend Trip. We were welcome immediately, and given a table at the window facing the river. The service is great. We started with Fried Calamari, and it was so good that we finished it in a few minutes. The batter is light, yet crispy and flavor of the squid pops out. My wife ordered the Prime Rib and Lobster Tail, and I ordered English Prime Rib. Both were so tender and juicy. The sauces, mash potatoes, and asparagus compliments everything so well! We later had the Chocolate Temptation, which was perfect with black coffee. We highly recommend this place whenever visiting Kingston.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Pleasantly surprised by the quality and value of the food. The margarita wasn’t bad either. This was my teenagers first choice. She gets wings wherever we go and was very happy with her platter. We will come again. Maybe they’ll expand the cocktail menu by then”

“THE BEST CROISSANTS I HAVE EVER HAD!!! Seriously just amazing! The veggie quiche is so flavorful and the crust is buttery and flaky! The croissants are huge and also buttery and flaky. The texture and taste are both matched for the best around! Even better then ones I’ve had at popular bakeries in NYC. This spot is a hidden gem! Don’t sleep on this place! Their hospitality is out of this world! They have great prices for their chai lattes as well! I’ve been coming every day on my lunch break for a large iced chai latte and they only charge me $5.50! It’s just amazing and Starbucks doesn’t have anything on this place and their chai lattes and pastries!!”
“The most relaxed eating experience, food comes out when it's ready and there is no rush to finish your meal. The server was very kind and recommendations were delicious. I had the carne asada burrito and the ingredients were perfectly balanced. If you want authentic, delicious food in a relaxed environment this is the spot to be. I can't wait to order take out.”
“Hands down the most amazing baked goods you will ever have the pleasure to taste. Her crusts are supreme works of art and there are not words to adequately describe what she does with custards. Even something as wholesome as the quiche goes beyond what any quiche has previously dreamed to accomplish. I just ate a piece of this weeks blueberry crumble custard and my life improved about 1500%. No, I’m not exaggerating. It’s pure magic I tell you. But Don’t believe me. Go eat for yourself.”
“I just visited a pop up @ 742 Broadway Kingston NY. Di Sweet Spot @One & Only Cakes. I had the red velvet slice, and brought banana pudding home. I met the owner, Anrika. She is an amazing woman, small business owner who is a local pastry chef. The cakes all looked beautiful. The red velvet melted in my mouth. The flavor was the best I have ever had!! She said that she makes cakes for all occasions, including weddings! She is local- grew up in Kingston. I’m excited to support her business!!”
“After trying a flight last night I had to go back tonight to work my way through their taps. I'm happy to report that I was very happy too. The staff are wonderful. My only comment is the lighting, as the space was a bit dark. If you like experimenting with beer, then this is a must visit!
🤗🍻🔆🙋🏼”
“Stars were the Miso Ramen (I got tofu on top) and the Black Sesame Latte 🔥🔥🔥 . Pork and Chive dumplings also delish. I’m down with the casual vibes, just wish there was non-plastic dine-in utensils for hot soup. Kid friendly as long as they can sit at a high top - I assisted my 2 year old and he was fine.”
“The cocktails, food and our server Megan were all terrific. The Spicy Tuna on Crunchy Rice and the Drunken Noodles were fabulous! Highly recommended.”
