We thoroughly enjoyed the pizza here, the service was excellent, and what Detroit pizza place would be complete without Vernor’s. Hudson & Packard has it all.”

“Okay, I just finished eating my food 5 minutes ago and immediately ran over to write this review! Let's start with Michelle and Chef put some respect on his name, Marcus! They are both so kind and full of love. I felt like I was visiting my family. They answered all my questions and got me excited for the food. I was able to watch them make everything and wow, wow, wow! I could watch them make magic all day! I felt like I was watching a cooking show. Are there any producers out there? Get them a show asap! The FOOD! Wow, so many fresh vegetables, flavors were on point, and every bite was filled with love! Stop reading and go now! I live an hour away and yep it was worth the drive. Drive, ride the train...do whatever you need to do to experience this amazing place! I can't wait to go back! ? Much love to Michelle and Chef put some respect on his name Marcus!”

Food was unbelievably amazing (ordered off appetizer menu, late night menu, but the whole menu looked great), hosts Russ & Helga were warm welcoming and friendly, live music from Ethan Levy was perfect, every server and bartender were top notch. We will definitely be back. This is a rare Hudson Valley jewel that I am so glad we found.”

Zeus Brewing Company 178 Main St, Poughkeepsie Brewery • $$
178 Main St, Poughkeepsie

“Good selection of beers and excellent food. Enjoyed a 6 cut pizza and Buffalo wings as well as garlic parm wings. Excellent waitress, Kaitlyn, who was hustling taking good care of her tables.Only thing to suggest is reducing the time to get a beer at the bar. There were two bartenders and both were bogged down with filling table orders, often making time consuming cocktails. Someone should be sweeping the bar frequently, filling the needs of these customers. Perhaps one more staffer during peak times.”
