“Had a nice lunch today and the food was delicious. Service was amazing.”

“Crew was an outstanding dining experience. We have been to 4 cities in America over a three week period including New York and DC celebrity chef restaurants and hands down this was the best dining experience we have had during our holiday. We sat at the chef’s counter and highly recommend it - the chefs were generous with their time and it really was dinner theatre watching them prepare the incredible food. We do not get this opportunity to get up close and personal so with chefs in our own country (Australia) during a service - 5 stars for sure!”

“We had a fantastic experience at Zeus Brewing while visiting from out of town. Maria, our server, was absolutely AWESOME —she picked the perfect beer flight for me, and everything she suggested was spot on. The Reuben burger was absolutely delicious, and I can't stop thinking about the peach and basil beer—it was such a unique and refreshing flavor. The hostess also gave us great recommendations for things to do while we’re in town. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!”

I added a 1/2 tray of eggplant rollatini and also tortellini primavera and this easily fed 30 people (with leftovers!) My co-workers were raving about the food and I easily said it was all from Mel's. This special catering combo is the perfect mix for any party!!! (I will also add I ordered on Monday morning and picked up Tuesday evening! Quick service as well!!!) 👏”

“This little Italian restaurant was a delightful surprise. We went there because it had favorable reviews. We found out that it is under new ownership as of approximately 9 months ago, late in 2024. Carlos, one of the co-owners, greeted us, cooked our food, and checked to see that everything was all right several times. He is clearly very interested in pleasing his customers.
My husband is Italian and gives the quality of the food and the expertise of its preparation high marks. We ordered two appetizers, Caesar salad and bruschetta. The Caesar salad was delicious and big enough to share. The bruschetta had wonderful flavors, was delightfully presented on a board and the thing I like the best was that the toast was not too hard to bite into.
Finally, for our meals I had a chicken parmesan sandwich which was a reasonably large portion, and my husband had lasagna. We both enjoyed every bit.
The food is prepared while you wait, so it is not fast food at all. He makes everything from scratch.
If you go in in, prepare to relax, enjoy your food and give Carlos greetings from us!
Ps. We are not related and we live in Florida, so we won't be able to go back right away. But we were visiting the area and thoroughly enjoyed our meal.”

“The food is actually amazing! Each dish tastes different than what you would expect but in a very good and unique way!! Their pumpkin soup 🎃 is literally so good (a must try) and their Jeyuk Bokkeum (Spicy pork stir fry) is soooo good 🥩. The spicy fried chicken is very very delicious too 🍗.

For dessert, the cream🍦 that comes with the Bungeoppang or Twisted Doughnut 🍩 is literally the BEST. MUST TRY.

TIP: Find all the 8 pumpkins 🎃 and you may receive a free dessert (don't count on my word just what I heard) 🥐”

“awesome pizza!! Def recommend!”

“My son and I stopped in on a whim for a quick lunch. We were so happy we did! The food was fantastic! Really fresh, scrumptious meal! Service was great. The price was shockingly affordable as well! Highly recommend!!!”

“First time here and was extremely satisfied. EVERYTHING was superb and more than enough for the 3 of us that we had to bring the remainder home. The owners are warm, friendly and humbly appreciative of our praises. Can't wait to come back!”

“Beyond a blast every time I walk into this place! Cocktails, and service, are exceptional. Anytime I’m passing by I am always drawn in to see what Davina her crew have in store. One of my favs for sure! Cheers 🍻”

“I love SoBol. They’re so consistently delicious. I always get their açaí bowls. I have an açaí bowl addiction, so I get them in many places. SoBol is always my favorite bc the açaí isn’t overly sweet. It’s all just perfect. This location is beautiful as well.”

“Excellent quick Mexican-ish style food with some unique twists. The portions of some items - like the bowls and burritos - are large enough to make 2 meals out of or to share. The service is pretty good. I order in the app and my meals have been ready when I arrive, so it's just a quick in and out. I've only done carry-out but the store always appears clean and orderly.”

“great ice cream and Hillary is so sweet ty”

“Best spot in town highly recommend”

“Amazing local community watering hole! Best bar food in town. Drinks are made with love and so is the food. The bar is full of all the classic bar memorabilia that make this place feel like a Time Machine in the best way! The staff is also amazing friendly, funny and professional. One of the only places that are still cash only which add to the nostalgic vibe. Perfect place if you want to enjoy a drink without all the extra frills!”

“Drove 2 hours from upstate NY. AMAZING!!! Delicious delicious delicious. We will be back.

She is an amazing person with excellent communication skills, and she made sure we had all the details needed to contribute to the success of the event she so beautifully planned. Everything came together perfectly thanks to her dedication and effort. The sweets were absolutely delicious, and we were thrilled that our service aligned perfectly with her vision. Thank you so much for trusting us and for your kind words—we truly hope to work with you again in the future!”

“Great experience here. I’ve been looking for some authentic Jamaican food for the past year and I’ve finally found it here in Royal Blends. This is not a dine in, it is takeout which is fine because that’s what I wanted. This is definitely authentic Jamaican food, it’s delicious and flavorful… the staff is really friendly, and the baked treats will have you coming back for more! I’ve tried the pineapple upside down cake so far and it was baked to perfection. It was sweet but not too sweet. It was nice and succulent , which is a must, no one wants a dry cake right? In summary, I’m now a regular customer here and will continue to be. I highly recommend. Thank you to the team at Royal Blends!”

“I ordered a gluten free sub and it was so good! I was also asked if I needed a clean cutting board and knife due to Celiac and that honestly amazed me because I have never been asked that anywhere when I tell them I have to be 100% gluten free due to my Celiac. 5 stars all day”

“Tried the this Mexican bakery at the Poughkeepsie Galleria Mall and was seriously impressed! I had a concha, a muffin, and a few other pastries. All super fresh and full of flavor. The concha especially hit the spot, soft and just the right amount of sweetness. The cashier was very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Very affordable.”
