“Laid back atmosphere with good music and a good selection of brews. I went on $5 draft Monday and that is a great value. Got the Kaaterskill IPA and the red IPA (can't remember the name), sampled the Juniper Ridge and ended up leaving with a 4 pack of it. Many restaurants within walking distance as well so you don't have to go far to get a good meal after your visit”
“really good restaurant in an area where these are a few and far between. The chef balances, creativity, seasonality, and good straightforward, cooking to create a range of compelling menu items, so much so that it is hard to pick. There is a large and inviting hearth in the kitchen, so we try to choose dishes that were fire kissed. The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable, and the drinks list has everything you need including a lot of well selected and clean Wines.”
“I should not have chosen a pasta dish - it is clearly not there forté.I'll be back to try sonething else.Parking: Prepare to spend some quality time in your car as you search for parking.”
“Fab food and classic elegant designed dining room! LOVE the history of the local brick indistry!! The food is always exceptional and happy hour is best in Ulster County!! Super staff with friendly smiles!”
“One of my go-to places in Kingston. Taco Tuesday is a favorite - too many good tacos to mention. The rice and beans are the best around. Never had a bad meal - always fantastic!!!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“I was really surprised how good this place was for a French Restaurant in Kingston. I ordered the Lamb Shank and my friend ordered the Branzino.. The Shank was superb. I also got the french onion soup. Very very delicious. If you are in the Rhinebeck/Kingston area, I highly recommend you try this place. Your belly will not be dissapointed.”
“Every element was perfect from the candle lighting to the food quality to the wine selection to the place settings. Service was professional, courteous, and attentive. Adorable decor. This place exemplifies that high quality doesn't have to also mean pretension. Can't wait to come back.”
“Nice little place with interesting options. Had the Vietnamese chicken salad and the red dal soup. Both were very good. Lots of little chocolates, snacks, drinks that would wouldn’t see elsewhere.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“We're hanging out at the dive bar down the road and the bartender there recommended we come here for some good drinks. And my oh my were they good. I never believed in the science of mixology or that a mixologist was a skilled tradesmen. But the old man who made our drinks must have been the Gordon Ramsey of Bartending. Your average bartender is a frycook by comparison. I had a few of their signature cocktails as well as a Manhatten and an old fashioned; my go-to drink so I've had a lot of them from a lot of different places, and never in my decades of life have I tasted such a perfectly mixed old fashioned. It was sublime and I doubt I'll taste its equal again in this lifetime unless I find myself in Kingston again and this man happens to be behind the bar once more. He also whipped up some scratch-made eggnog with alcohol and it was exquisite.”
“Got a couple of egg and cheese sandwiches on our way out of town. They took a few minutes because they really are made to order, but service was excellent. The sandwiches were fresh and delicious, and we picked up a loaf of the chocolate babka to take home. Also grabbed some frozen pierogi, which meant we didn't have to wait for the shop around the corner to open.”
“This place has a classic American tavern feel. There is bar seating and table seating. There are a couple of sections (a big back section which is where our group of 11 was seated). Food was delicious and they had a couple of options - bar snacks, appetizers, salads/soup, mains. The price of main entrees run from $20-$30. Service was also great.”
“Excellent service, best Caribbean in the area. Taking away one star, because there have been a Couple of times where the Oxtail has been really fatty pieces. Maybe some like it that way, but not ideal for me.”
“Best bookstore in Kingston! I'm not a coffee drinker but I do love their hot chocolate. I order the same thing every time I stop by ( Small hot chocolate and a cookie) .This place is super cozy with an awesome selection of books. If you can find a seat on a less busy day your in luck! It's a chill place to meet up with friends or get some work done. Staff is always friendly and helpful. If your new to Kingston definitely check it out it's one of a kind.”
“Love my experience every single time I come to we got the juice. Atmosphere is always top notch! Sandwiches are delicious and juices are the best! Please stop in and get yourself a juice or sandwich for lunch you won't be disappointed!”
“I should not have chosen a pasta dish - it is clearly not there forté.I'll be back to try sonething else.Parking: Prepare to spend some quality time in your car as you search for parking.”
“This place is great and I can't recommend it enough. Not only is the quality of food amazing but the staff and service have always been extremely friendly, welcoming with a non-pretentious attitude. This place is accesible for local Kingston residents, unlike some of the gentrification cafes that have popped up in recent years that cater strictly to tourists or recent, wealthy transplants. The prices here are actually fair- like it doesn't cost $12 for a breakfast sandwich with no meat on it- fair. Very clean and like I said, high quality taste in food. I always get a breakfast sandwich but their lunch options are great too. There is no better place to get a breakfast sandwich in Kingston. I love Fat Cat !”
“Being lactose intolerant and gluten sensitive Sweet Marisa’s is a gift from heaven. Marvelous choices warm environment and friendly staff. Put on your “must visit” listen when in Kingston N.Y.”
“Fab food and classic elegant designed dining room! LOVE the history of the local brick indistry!! The food is always exceptional and happy hour is best in Ulster County!! Super staff with friendly smiles!”
“This Cafe is a hidden gem! The decor is amazing and inviting, the food is delicious and the staff is so welcoming and attentive. The BEST latte I have had in the area.”
“Stopped in here on a Wednesday around 12:30PM when I was just passing by the city. There was only one other couple in the restaurant eating when I got inside. It seems like they have a lot of interesting options but I just went for a double scoop protein bowl of tuna. It was kind of expensive for what you got out of it but it tasted fresh and the pineapple miso sauce was really good! The workers were extremely nice and it was overall a good experience!”

“The baked goods are amazing but consistently sold out of cardamom buns and cinnamon rolls….? Also no ability to heat sausage rolls and ham and cheese. The croissants are unmatched! Paris has competition. Seems like they are growing because they are delicious but be prepared to wait.”
“Absolutely the best meal I've had in the 3 years that I've moved to New York State. My friend said the same thing for their meal. I'm a vegan and had no problem with meal selections.The portions are big and very fillingYou must make a reservation, and parking outside can be a challenge during the day, but in the evening, we had no problem. This is worth the drive from anywhere.”
“Food is pretty good; lots of seafood options if you want. The real draw is the great waterfront location in Kingston. The porch seating is lovely especially in the summer, but there's heating if it's chilly out too.”
“We had a family Christmas gathering there and it was wonderful. The food was fantastic and our waitress Madison was terrific. The regular menu and the Specials were great. The only downside was it was a little too expensive but everything is these days. We love it there and will definitely be back !”

“We were out shopping and asked the salesperson where was a good place to eat and they recommend the Hoffman House. We were seated right near the fireplace to warm up from being outside. Our waitress Sam was very friendly and prompt. I had the fish and chips while Hubby had the Chicken Fettucine special. Both were excellent! The homemade cheesecake was delicious. So if you are in the area give this a try, I'm glad we did!”
“Been getting sushi from Yasuda for years. Excellent in all regards. Quality, taste and service 10/10. We are fortunate enough to have great sushi in Kingston and this is one of the best spots to get it. I recommend getting the seaweed salad with every order. Staff are very sweet and always seem to be having fun.Dietary restrictions: Gf, V friendly”
“Good fresh food,but dishes are on the small side for the price,Italian restaurants mostly serve abundant food,it is a nice place ,just don't expect the typical Italian restaurant.”
“We stopped here on our way back from a nearby ski resort. To be honest, the exterior looked old/run down and almost turned us away. However, we were pleasantly surprised how good the service was as well as the food. We'll definitely stop by again in the near future. I highly recommend if you're in the area.”
“Super high quality outside of NYC. Worth the trip if you are in the city, but an amazing surprise for us in the Hudson Valley.Update: visited again 3/23. Truly top notch sushi for anywhere and reasonably priced compared to ”
“Service was great. Best quality of food at a Texas Roadhouse. Appetizer was a little behind and the manager comped it to make sure we were happy. Drinks and rolls flowed freely.Parking: A large strip mall parking lot add wheelchair friendly.Kid-friendliness: Food selection and staff were great with kidsWheelchair accessibility: Store looks very wheelchair accessible”
“While working nearby I saw their sign. What a hidden gem!!!The atmosphere is great. I love the decor, It reminded be of the pride that used to be in Chinese restaurants.The service was top notch and the food was so tasty.We ordered the lunch trays. Very unique presentation.The staff was friendly and neat.Stop here! You won't be disappointed!”
“Jesus I am from Westchester and I love they Chinese food down the way. Poughkeepsie‘s Chinese food is nasty. I went there to a storage unit to pick up my stuff and once a Chinese food googled and they came up very friendly. Most of all food was A1. Reminded me of westchester cause I couldn’t get no good Chinese here In ”
“My favorite place to get take out. The food has never disappointed me here. Always very fast and very fresh.Even though they have a huge seating area in the back, it is mainly a take away restaurant. They do have a small indoor seating area in front, but it is not full table service. So, don't expect to have a sit down meal with guests.But for those nights that you happened to burn the casserole, the cat ate the chicken off the counter, or you are just down for some great Chinese food...this is the place.”
“My sister and I just had the most fantastic lunch here!! I ordered the cobb salad and it did not disappoint!! Our waitress lucy was fantastic and so helpful!! Her recommendations were spot on and we hope to have her again!! Thanks ole savannah for a great lunch experience- we will be back!!!”
“We went there for shrimp and tried one dish that was grilled and one that was fried and both were delicious and presented beautifully. A little rough to get in with a wheelchair but it was worth it.Vegetarian options: Great place for pescatarians, I'm sure you could order any dish like a quesadilla or burrito without meat.Parking: We were there on Friday night and there were plenty of spots right in front and on the side.”
“Fantastic spot for breakfast, lunch or dinner. We went for breakfast and it was fantastic. Generous portions, delicious food, and great service. If you’re going on a weekend, plan to get there early or you may experience a small wait. If you leave hungry, you did it wrong!”
“My boyfriend and I had a great time! had their crab tuesday special and Filet our waitress Isabella was absolutely delightful and the cheese sticks are AMAZING great cheese pull!”
“Lovely little gem in Kingston, some of the best food around; and undoubtedly the best ramen in the area. The ramen is some of the best I've had In my life, which is not surprising given the clear passion of the owner. This is one of the few places in Kingston me and my girlfriend frequent, the great food, service, and ambience always ensures we return.”

“I've eaten here soooo many times I can't believe I've never written a review... even though, I've always recommended this place to people looking to Japanese Dining.Place is small but cozy... can get pretty packed and experience can get dampened by other loud and possibly obnoxious diners but that's often beyond the control of the restaurant.Street parking can be difficult as it's on a busy corner...Food excellent, service excellent... there's really nothing more I can say. The prices have been competitive even when seemingly everything else in the world has gotten more expensive.When the tea is good you know the place will be great....”
Takeout Restaurants
“The place is welcoming, especially Amanda, who runs the front. The weekend special of red snapper was absolutely delicious and the portions are very generous. We go there whenever we get the chance because the food is excellent!”
“Good great experience at the original Mickey igloo. I always take my dog there after I bathe him in Port Ewen. I get a medium vanilla cone and I give him about a half a cup. That's his treat for being such a good dog while he was getting his It's so delicious I love soft, serve ice cream it's one of my favorite things in the whole world.”
“I'm sad to say I've only ever been inside the shop twice, but as a testament to the quality of the available brews we have several pounds of their Jazzy Joe blend shipped down to us every six weeks or so. You can't go wrong with MJRC.”
“Ummm, wow... I LOVE hidden gem restaurants, and this place is a hidden gem. Unassuming from the outside, the dining room opens into a large room with quaintly matched tables and chairs, brightly-colored vases, and rustic art on the walls. It feels like home... and the way Donna and Joe treated us was just like family.The lunch was incredible. The aptly-named 'crack sauce' delivered, a warm and spicy compliment to perfectly fried chicken. The apple slaw cooled things down just right.This will be our spot every time works brings us back to Kingston. Cheers!Kid-friendliness: The space and the staff are both conducive to children and animals.”
“Great little spot in Kingston with delicious breakfast sandwiches and smoothies. The space is small and seating can be tight but you can order ahead. Our breakfast sandwiches were delicious. We had the country wrap and southwestern wrap. Both were flavorful and filling. I recommend this spot for a quick bite and delicious meal!”
“I’ve tried the 3 pizza places in the Rosendale, Stone Ridge area. I’ve shared my experiences at Tosco’s and Benny’s. Now in my opinion the best in the area is Antonio’s. They maybe a bit pricier on some items, but the service and quality of their food is worth the price. Pizza is consistent never burnt or under cooked.”
“Absolutely the best meal I've had in the 3 years that I've moved to New York State. My friend said the same thing for their meal. I'm a vegan and had no problem with meal selections.The portions are big and very fillingYou must make a reservation, and parking outside can be a challenge during the day, but in the evening, we had no problem. This is worth the drive from anywhere.”
“I’ve been driving past this place for a while and I was always curious. I finally stopped in and was mad at myself immediately for not coming sooner. The staff were very friendly, didn’t rush us, and made our food in record time. Ordered a patty melt and fries, great. Prices are very reasonable. If Mara’s is open and I’m driving by, I’m stopping.”
“Food is pretty good; lots of seafood options if you want. The real draw is the great waterfront location in Kingston. The porch seating is lovely especially in the summer, but there's heating if it's chilly out too.”
“Super cute small place nice staff and DELICIOUS AÇAÍ BOWLS. Best ones I have every had and i’ve tried a lot of places. Prices are awesome and affordable and they offer small or large sizes which is super great. Loved it so much”
“Love this place. Their hot weiners and shakes are the best. What's their secret., their specialty meat sauce, handed down from generation to generation.Parking: In Kingston, next to the store or on the street paid parking for a nominal fee.Kid-friendliness: Kids seem happy and occupied with their food.”
“I've eaten here soooo many times I can't believe I've never written a review... even though, I've always recommended this place to people looking to Japanese Dining.Place is small but cozy... can get pretty packed and experience can get dampened by other loud and possibly obnoxious diners but that's often beyond the control of the restaurant.Street parking can be difficult as it's on a busy corner...Food excellent, service excellent... there's really nothing more I can say.

“So I usually only take the time to write positive reviews and it’s the same here. First, I’m from Jersey where Italian food comes easier than cereal, with that being said finding a good spot in this part of the world has been tough although I’ve only tried a few spots in the several times I’ve been up here. This place has great food, drinks, and the service from Kaare (pronounced Corey) was top notch. Also the interior was well done, nice atmosphere. Will definitely be back.”
“Amazing food, great service and a beautiful atmosphere. I came in alone for the first time and was treated very good. Staff was very friendly and the food tasted great! Really big portions.”
“First timer here! Sean is great and the chili was undoubtedly one of the best I’ve ever had. Perfect for this rainy day. Looking forward to being a regular and exploring the menu!”

“Came here during a weekend upstate, and the whole group thinks that this is some of the best - if not the best - pizza we have EVER had! So insanely delicious - try the potato pizza if it's still on the menu. Also love the community 'pay it forward' program they offer at checkout - amazing initiative!”
“It appears that Savonnas has undergone a remarkable turnaround since my last visit. Whether it's a complete 180 or just an off day ten months ago, the culinary experience this time around was nothing short of exceptional. The flavors were simply delightful, a testament to their dedication to excellence. It seems they've found their stride and are now delivering on their promise of delectable dining experiences.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“I'm hooked on Moinburgers. I'm an 80 yr old retired cook and love them. Each individual that works there really cares about each customer and each order. They make you feel like a part of the family every time. Fantastic happy place.”
“Had the most amazing women take my order!! not only was she friendly at the Register, she asked the kitchen to make me fresh onion rings (& she looked fabulous btw) SHE IS 100% the reason I'll be stopping back next week & every Tuesday from now on!! also food here is a lot better & bathrooms much cleaner than anywhere else”
“I like Burger King to McDonald's, especially price wise, because you get more for your money, which makes it paltable, paying for it of your out late,The food is good a lot of times it's, if it's slower the food will be warm, not cold and rare occurrence it is thry will get you new whatever you ordered. Also, the fries will sometimes be not very warm where your chicken or burger is hot again it simple thry have no issues replacing it a lot of the time, but I can not speak for everyone.Vegetarian options: I'm not vegetarian, so I don't know all their options”
“McDonald’s is McDonalds! Easy to grab and go. Make sure you download the app because it saves you money!!!!! ??I WISH THEY BROUGHT BACK THE 90s STYLE AND PLAYPLACE. Also, bring back the snack wrap!”
“Good run of the mill McDonald's as long as they get the order right. Doesn't always happen, but I think that could be said for other locations as well.Kid-friendliness: Kids love the nuggets and happy meals especially if better toys. Toys and happy meals aren't like back in the 80s-90s though and half the time it is junk like those recent metal crash bandicoot tins and printed on fabric spiros. Those go straight in the trash sadly. Prices are high as well so only worth it if kids like the toys included like squishmallows. Current popular themes, not random plastic bobble head super hero ones that no kid wants.”
“Your average Dunkin donuts. However, even though there's a large inside dining area, the customer ratio is very offset. The inside is entirely empty, and you'll have a 10 minute wait at the drive-thru. I've had a few orders that weren't quite perfect, so there's room for improvement, but otherwise the donuts, food, and coffee is great.”
“Good folks, but value for price is definitely an issue. For the same 10-15 I could get reap Mexican a couple blocks away. Good employees though, solid customer service.”
“Good staff, enjoyed visiting. 03 08 24 wife and I went there for lunch, still a good place for a fast food lunchWheelchair accessibility: Person in a wheelchair will probably need help getting through the doors.”
“Like most dunkins ordering inside can be a bit long to be notified but they are fast and do great at the drive thru getting orders out and all of them stay busy so it's not purposely, honestly it's my favorite store around here and it helps that every employee who serviced me was very pleasant and make sure you get what you asked for,”
“The food was great, fresh, and delicious. Only thing missing was the tartar sauce, but I made due. If I wasn't concerned about the heat index raising outside, during this heatwave, I would've sat there and ate. I loved how clean it was & the staff were friendlyParking: Easy to find a parking lot”
“Good fresh food,but dishes are on the small side for the price,Italian restaurants mostly serve abundant food,it is a nice place ,just don't expect the typical Italian restaurant.”
“Stopped in last minute for Valentine's Day. And we got a great split pizza that wasn't even on the menu. My half was breaded eggplant, and her side was fresh garlic, onion broccoli. For dessert, we had the chocolate mouse cake and fresh canolis! Our server was so sweet and accommodating and helped us make our decision an easy one!We will definitely be back!”
“Food and service was great. Carter provided amazing service!!! He went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed for our meal. Thank you Carter!!!”
Cheap Eats
“Delicious, different Mexican options. So many more I want to try! Lots for vegetarians. Great guac! Music could be a little less loud, but love the high ceilings. Generous portions and amazing tortillas!Vegetarian options: Eggplant with black beans and pickled onions torta is phenomenal and surprising!”
“The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed our experience dining in.Dietary restrictions: The staff was knowledgeable about what foods contain egg and they were conscientious to ask if I have other allergies like shellfish.”
“The food is amazing,it's a wonder of delicacy,fresh mozzarellaThe staff is helpful and courteousThe meatballs are amazing and the desserts are superb ,I love the sauce everything was amazing and reasonably ”
“Yup!!! The Hype is real!! Been hearing great things about Steve’s Subs for a while- went early today… I got a veggie sub and it was great, my other 1/2 got the Mixed Italian- had to weigh 5 lbs. ?Huge!! Fresh!! and Fabulous!!They also carry “Carlo’s” - The Cake Boss individual cake slices! ??Next time I’ll try the pizza as that looked great too!”
“We ate at Vincenzo’s while in town this weekend. The owner was working during lunch & wS absolutely lovely. Our food was delicious - with the exception of my dad’s soup which he said tasted like it was from a can. Pizza, calzones & subs were all excellent! Does not serve alcohol & is counter service. Dining area was clean & enjoyable.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly!”
“We have known the family run business for years and are so happy to have such a fun, local location to have great food and drinks. Wonderful atmosphere and lots of fun.”
“Hey guys.OK so today I decided to give this ice cream store another mean it has been 4 years since I was there last and I got myself of an aluminum chocolate twist to start I actually called to see if they accepted credit cards. And she said yes but there is a little bit of feed use the credit card but that's always nice to know because I don't always carry cash on me.Upon going to the store there was nobody at the window so I went inside and there were 2 lovely young ladies and they were very very helpful um I didn't ask if they had the pumpkin soft serve. She said yes and then when she went over she didn't realize that it wasn't frozen yet so I said not a big deal let me just get a vanilla and chocolate because I had to get back during my job. And I was pleasingly surprised. The ice cream that they physically make there was absolutely delicious. It was smooth creamy and I definitely taste the difference in the flavors. The atmosphere was very warm and inviting. And the young ladies were very cheerful and smiling it's always nice to see employees that are helpful and happy in their job I did not get their names but I wanna thank them so much for helping me today. The ice cream was amazing just as I remember it when I was a child.So I wanted to revise my review on them from 4 years ago when I really was not happy with it and it was literally the second time they had made the ice cream for me it was not the first time.I highly recommend going here they have a vast variety of their own milks and ice cream cakes and pies and things like that beautiful store beautiful people very clean and I love a business that keeps their place clean.Thank you For the ice cream it was awesome.Remember have fun with what you're doing and keep it real because you know I do with each and every review.Yours truly.The Real DealWheelchair accessibility: There are absolutely no stairs. Or curbs you could actually get in there with a wheelchair.”
“Stopped in here coming off the highway looking for a decent deli. Run by mother-daughter duo, we met the mother. She seemed to know everyone by name that came in (excluding us out of towners). Super polite, generous portions, bread was tasty and fresh. Exactly what we wanted. Would definitely recommend stopping by.”
“Was only there for a couple draughts as we hit them just before closing time. This is a rustic place with live music, bar games, darts, etc. But you go here for the beer. Keegan ales makes some great beer and the Mothers Milk is a favorite for years. Great neighborhood atmosphere. Outdoor seating when weather permits”
“I usually order take out. The chicken soup is great, best soup in Kingston if you are sick. The papusas are delicious. My kid is very picky and he loves the tacos. Prices are very reasonable which is a great perk!”
“This place is truly one of the best places I have ever eaten from. I had made a special request one day for a meal with meat cooked a certain way and they did not have it. I was so disappointed. The owner called me back and told me that they would have no problem meeting my request if I had called early enough for them to prepare it. The next day I did just that and they went out of their way for something that doesn’t exist on their menu, made it for me, and called me when it was ready. They also helped me place the order on door dash so that it could be delivered. I have to say it was so delicious and cooked so perfectly. I highly recommend this place you will not be disappointed. Thank you so much ?”
“Like many, I made the mistake of driving past this place about 100x before finally going in. Wow. Amazing goodies! Including an entire section of delicious grain and gluten free items! Hidden gems: the black and white cookies are some of the best i've ever had and the black and white "explosions" are some of the most interesting little treats i've found.”
“A little spicy but the portions were worth the money!Dietary restrictions: They held the nasty bean sprouts when I asked for them not to be included. Didn't be afraid to ask for alterations”
“Great food and friendly service. We had the steak torta and chicken tacos. Both were freshly made and very tasty. Portions were appropriate. One of the best values in town!”
“Not the magical culinary experience of Ollie's in High Falls, I guess because the pizza is reheated as this is a slice shop. But pretty good. Staff were very helpful and friendly.”
“This is the best Mexican place in Kingston. There is a lot of authentic Oaxacan fare. They could do a little better with presentation of a few things, it's real home style Oaxacan food without much flair. The Pozole is a standout, probably the best in duchess or Ulster county. They also make one of the best chile rellenos I've had. The horchata is not too sweet, and the guacamole is solid and fresh , but not stand out. The tortillas are homemade and really special. The tortilla chips are also really good. They also have a sufficient tequila and Mescal selection. The owner and staff are extremely sincere and courteous. We're lucky to have authentic Mexican food like this.Vegetarian options: Guacamole, quesadillas, basically everything can be done without meat. If you're a vegan it might be tougher.”
“Yessss Top Taste is the best in town!!!! I love everything they serve and it's made with love by the owner and his wife, I think they even won an award for their food. It's so nice to have a Jamaican restaurant with nice ambiance and a nice atmosphere to enjoy delicious Caribbean food all while being greeted with a nice smile. The location is very convenient and close to many other businesses such as the hospital. All of my coworkers order from here and also love the food.Yesterday I had the perfectly seasoned oxtail (not too sweet like some places) with their awesome baked macaroni and cheese. Their jerk chicken, curry shrimp, curry chicken, escovitch fish and curry goat are all really good too.My pic is not posting for some reason :(I just realized this review is for Top Taste, not Caribbean taste. Caribbean taste has okay food, but they don't cook everything fresh daily, and never have beef patties. Their oxtail are delicious though.”
“By far the best Indian food in the region! Mini makes the most incredible, flavorsome, vegan Indian food, from various regions throughout the country, (my favorites are when she does Southern Indian) and touches each piece with love and thoughtfulness. We do takeout orders on a regular basis and it's always delicious”
“Truly a perfect location, friendly staff, nice rooms, unique proposition where the hotel has multiple locations/buildings throughout town.The hotel bar had some really unique and fun cocktails, including a fun sidecar-esque martini and a tequila based creamy coffee cocktail.The continental breakfast is great, easy but good quality, with attentive staff.Rooms are nice and uniquely appointed, and clean!Would definitely recommend to anyone staying in Kingston. We brought a dog and it was pooch-approved also!Walkability: Definitely hugely walkable to get around town, and even can walk to a small strip mall that’s a quarter mile awayFood & drinks: Continental breakfast in the morning.The hotel’s restaurant is great, and contends with any top option in the area.Bar is small but lovely with unique cocktails.”
“My friend Alex is a regular and he got me out of the house for some lunch and he had me try his own menu item! Pesto Wings! Damn were they delicious!!!! I'm sure I'll be back with Alex again. I love this place. The food is great, the service is great, and the owner is awesome and very down to earth guy who is always approachable!”
“Best margaritas in Kingston. One of the best views. Food is delicious, clean, flavorful, fresh. mouthwatering. Friendly staff. Laid back, relaxing atmosphere. Generous portions.”
“After getting Armadillo many times I can say it is a great restaurant. The service and food are stellar and I highly recommend it to anyone in the area. The steak is particularly amazing.”
“This Gem is located on N. Front St. in Kingston NY. Family owned and operated. The staff is friendly and accommodating. Always great specials to choose from whether it’s lunch or dinner. Favorites include grilled vegetables, caesar salad wrap, filet mignon, seared salmon and the chicken sorrentino to name a few. A must go if you’re in the area.”
“We stopped here on our way back from a nearby ski resort. To be honest, the exterior looked old/run down and almost turned us away. However, we were pleasantly surprised how good the service was as well as the food. We'll definitely stop by again in the near future. I highly recommend if you're in the area.”

“I just ordered at this establishment. With the wind I lost my pasta part of the order on the way to the car. After speaking with the manager Mohammad, he discounted me to 3 dollars for a replacement pasta dish. He didn't have to do that, especially that this was an act of "god" that was beyond kind of them. What a great team he has and one of the best Franchises around!!”
“My boyfriend and I had a great time! had their crab tuesday special and Filet our waitress Isabella was absolutely delightful and the cheese sticks are AMAZING great cheese pull!”
“The people here complaining about the General Tso chicken really need help, they make the best General Tso chicken around, it's always crispy and never had a problem with it, the people making the bad remarks I bet never ate there, they just post bad remarks.”
“We were out shopping and asked the salesperson where was a good place to eat and they recommend the Hoffman House. We were seated right near the fireplace to warm up from being outside. Our waitress Sam was very friendly and prompt. I had the fish and chips while Hubby had the Chicken Fettucine special. Both were excellent! The homemade cheesecake was delicious. So if you are in the area give this a try, I'm glad we did!”

“Got a couple of egg and cheese sandwiches on our way out of town. They took a few minutes because they really are made to order, but service was excellent. The sandwiches were fresh and delicious, and we picked up a loaf of the chocolate babka to take home. Also grabbed some frozen pierogi, which meant we didn't have to wait for the shop around the corner to open.”
“I've never been to a Chipotle restaurant before so I really didn't know what to expect. I was kind of surprised by the 'cafeteria' feel it had to it. That said the archive was fast and efficient and the rice bowl I had was quite tasty. Now that I know what to expect, I will be going again.”
“Decided to go for breakfast. This diner is only about 15 minutes from me. it definitely looks like the 1970s inside. Nothing much has changed in all these years. They had some other good breakfast specials so I decided to go with their biscuits and gravy sausage gravy with potatoes and I added an egg the service was very friendly. Some locals were sitting at the counter around With the waitress looks like the owner may have come out and talked to them as well. My food came out and it looked very good. The sausage gravy had a good flavor. I didn't see that many chunks of sausage in the gravy however. The potatoes were cooked very nicely Crispy and tasty the egg was made just right. The biscuits were fresh and fluffy. Definitely a good value as well. Good Hardy portion I've heard that the burgers are made at the diner. Too often diners just get those frozen burgers and they all have the same consistency and taste. Out of the good number of diners in Kingston. There's one on the main street downtown. That's pretty good as well. Plus one that's a little further down the road I think there's even another one not too far from that one but out of the four this one is the best .”
“I'm hooked on Moinburgers. I'm an 80 yr old retired cook and love them. Each individual that works there really cares about each customer and each order. They make you feel like a part of the family every time. Fantastic happy place.”
“Wayyyyy better than your average buffet but the selection was not spectacular; I wish they had more seafood and meifun for dinner ( they only have it at lunch. ) Gave it 5 stars because the prices are amazing and the staff there is wonderful. Will come back again and again.”
“I'm a traditional girl when it comes to pizza and the way to win me over is with a great cheese slice. Whenever I move to a new area my pizza system is to check out all the joints' cheese slices and go from there. This place has great crust and sauce (not sweet), and excellent proportions of dough, sauce and cheese.They also make a really good grilled chicken Caesar, lots of chicken and tasty, all Romain, no iceberg cheating.I've had their specialty slices as well and so far everything has been tasty. The inside got a little facelift recently too.”
“Best bookstore in Kingston! I'm not a coffee drinker but I do love their hot chocolate. I order the same thing every time I stop by ( Small hot chocolate and a cookie) .This place is super cozy with an awesome selection of books. If you can find a seat on a less busy day your in luck! It's a chill place to meet up with friends or get some work done. Staff is always friendly and helpful. If your new to Kingston definitely check it out it's one of a kind.”
“The food was great, fresh, and delicious. Only thing missing was the tartar sauce, but I made due. If I wasn't concerned about the heat index raising outside, during this heatwave, I would've sat there and ate. I loved how clean it was & the staff were friendlyParking: Easy to find a parking lot”
“Fantastic spot for breakfast, lunch or dinner. We went for breakfast and it was fantastic. Generous portions, delicious food, and great service. If you’re going on a weekend, plan to get there early or you may experience a small wait. If you leave hungry, you did it wrong!”
“Excellent service, best Caribbean in the area. Taking away one star, because there have been a Couple of times where the Oxtail has been really fatty pieces. Maybe some like it that way, but not ideal for me.”
“Yup!!! The Hype is real!! Been hearing great things about Steve’s Subs for a while- went early today… I got a veggie sub and it was great, my other 1/2 got the Mixed Italian- had to weigh 5 lbs. ?Huge!! Fresh!! and Fabulous!!They also carry “Carlo’s” - The Cake Boss individual cake slices! ??Next time I’ll try the pizza as that looked great too!”
“I love this place, the food and atmosphere is amazingly awesome, so calm and beautiful. I love the artwork in the bathrooms, I think the wall of locks ? is very unique and fun! The noodle bowls are so yummy! I just wish they would add more noodles because the portions compared to liquid/meat seem off, I always buy an extra side of noodles because of this. Nonetheless, it's a great place worth the stop!Parking: Park directly right next to yum yum in front of the closed bank, there's two openings with gates”
“I like to come here for the big breakfast plates. I usually get one of the breakfast specials. I like to add their french toast to my order. Getting into the joint can be interesting becuase of the roadway, but it's worth it for the price. Bring a sweater, I always feel cold. Never too crowded when I've gone around lunch time and service has been quick.”
“This place has a classic American tavern feel. There is bar seating and table seating. There are a couple of sections (a big back section which is where our group of 11 was seated). Food was delicious and they had a couple of options - bar snacks, appetizers, salads/soup, mains. The price of main entrees run from $20-$30. Service was also great.”
