“WOWThis was a huge surprise. I was visiting a customer in Peekskill New York, and pulled over to grab a small bite to eat from a food truck. I pulled into the lot and noticed there was a big line. When I got on line there were a lot of regulars talking about what they were going to order. I asked one of them what they would recommend, and they said you cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. They were so right.I got an order of taco's. You got to pick any three taco's you wanted. and the order came with hand cut fries, and this amazing lime aioli. I had a chorizo, fish, and chicken taco. They might have been the best I ever had. After I finished I had to tell the owner how great the food was. He happened to be the nicest guy, and was truly happy to hear that I thoroughly enjoyed his food. He makes all of his food fresh daily, and makes his own chorizo.I went home that night, and told my son about the truck. That weekend I stopped by again, this time with my son and his fiance. Octavio remembered me right away. We ordered a braised short rib grill cheese on Texas toast, a Cuban sandwich that he made with his own smoked pulled pork, and his home made empanada's. All three of us were amazed with his food.My son was getting married in three weeks, and we had rented an Airbnb for the weekend, and were throwing a rehearsal dinner for about 40 people the night before the wedding. We had already planned on having it catered, but my son mentioned why don't we do something different, and see if Octavio would bring his food truck to the Airbnb instead of using a caterer. It wound up being fantastic. We spoke with Octavio, and picked five items off the menu to serve that night. Everyone at the party raved about the food, and Octavio surprised us at the end by serving his home made caramel stuffed churro's with chocolate sauce.If you love great food, you must give him a visit...“

“It was a beautiful Friday evening just at the beginning of the anticipated "happy hour". Walking into Peekskill public you get an immediate nostalgia for Dublin, Ireland, it's a cool feeling.U guys got wings? Yes some of the best, the friendly bartender said and of course they'll all say that.With a good selection of cold NA beers, was happy to have 2 before being handed a plate of wings (buffalo), a perfect mix of drums and flats. Wow, is all I can say, and also look forward to going back.If you're in the area this spot is a must go. Little nightcap with some billiards and friendly crowd to shoot it with. Cheers“

“We hadn't been to this restaurant in years and were pleasantly surprised. I had the burrata and the chicken thighs and my husband had a salad and the salmon. Everything was delicious and the server was very pleasant and attentive. We'll definitely be back soon.“

“Had my nieces Bat mitzvah here. The food was outrageous, the service was fantastic. Only negative, they kept clearing the plates away so fast. Some people lost their plates as they were eating. My niece got her plate taken away and never even got to eat. There was so much left over food and I don't know what happened to it all. I hope it went to a good place.“

“My wife and I visited this spring before it opened. They were painting inside, but Sarah, the manager, invited us in and gave us a tour of this beautiful historic building. In the five or six times we've dined there since, Sarah greets us with a hug like old friends and fits us in no matter the hour or crowd. The food is excellent, the menu vegan/gluten and dairy-free friendly, the service top notch. There's even a ghost. Alexa served my birthday dinner for nine yesterday (which Sarah arranged despite over-abundant holiday reservations). Thanks to her and Alexa - who's charming, efficient, and knowledgable on every dish - it went flawlessly. My guests, no strangers to world-class dining, were blown away. The Bird & Bottle is wonderful, but Sarah's special touch with the guests and staff elevates it to something truly extraordinary.“

“I ordered the porchetta sandwich. It looked better than it tasted. The ciabatta was not a true ciabatta and did not go with the sandwich. The porchetta was just crisped up pork belly and was skimpy on the portion considering the price of the sandwich. The waitress said I can substitute the fries for any of the sides but didn't state there would be an upcharge. There was tiny fine print under the sandwiches that says they'll be an upcharge but it's very easy to overlook. I opted for the warm cabbage side which was very tasty and would order again.My friend ordered the beet salad and that looked amazing. I'd suggest trying that and if I go again I'll order that instead.Lastly, the water glass had lipstick on it. I wasn't wearing any. When I asked for a fresh and clean water glass, there was no acknowledgement about the lipstick, even after I pointed it out. That was unprofessional, in my opinion as a former waitress and bartender.Overall, will I go back? Eventually, yes but it's towards the bottom of the list of things to do.“

“We had a wonderful experience and meal. Fresh food. Great wait staff and friendly.“

“We CAN'T BELIEVE we haven't dined here in all these years. With one meal, Traditions has risen to the top. Service was professional and eager to serve. Dinner was tasty, hot, and nicely presented. My wife and I met with the owner Lisa on our way out. Lovely lady!!! We can't wait to come back!! I had the Veal Chop and my wife had the Shrimp with pasta. Dessert was sinfully delicious!!!!“

“Great bartender! Atmosphere was nice. Food was good. Looking forward to going back and enjoying their outdoor area.“

“There was some construction right outside today (not the restaurant's fault obviously) but the staff was very nice and made sure we sat in a place that was further away from the noise :) The food was really good! And the wait time on the food was not that bad. Would definitely recommend and come back again!“

“Our party of 4 thoroughly enjoyed a Friday night at the Gramercy. The staff welcomed the early arrivers and offered beverages and comfortable couch seating in the invitingly-decorated space. Lauren, our bartender, made an excellent dirty martini as requested. Every staff member we interacted with was friendly, skilled and knowledgeable in an upbeat, "happy to see you there" kind of way. All entrees (the angel hair with shrimp and the special pounded breaded pork shop parmesan) were generously portioned, prepared and presented perfectly, and our two desserts pleased all. The super star of the evening was the paella for two. It was OUTSTANDING with an abundance of fish & chorizo over the most delicious tomato saffron rice foundation. We will go back just to have the paella again, it was THAT memorable!“

“Countryside Kitchen was a nice place to go for a great Mother's Day breakfast. The staff were all very pleasant, and the food was luscious. They have a large variety of dishes to choose from, and plates were overflowing with an abundance of wonderful food ?!! If you haven't been there, give them a try, and I'm sure you won't be disappointed.“

“Incredible food and service is beyond expectations. What a total hidden gem.“

“Absolutely excellent dinner location for Thanksgiving. Authentic Revolutionary War Era Inn setting with phenomenal dinner menu for Thanksgiving. 4 of us came here for Thanksgiving- my wife, me and her parents, we all got something different and this place did not disappoint on anything. The chateubriand filet mignon and New Zealand rack of lamb were on point in every way. The side vegetables- the sweet potatoes, the stuffing, the arugula, the green beans, and the carrots were all perfectly cooked to an optimome composition and coloring. The popovers were a nice throwback a little dry but the strawberry butter more than made up for them. The dessert the Belgian chocolate mousse was impeccable. The overall ambiance and atmosphere of this place was very Yankee in a great way, it reminded me of Olde New England Inns and Taverns. Pricing wise it was not the most economical menu but doing Thanksgiving at home with guests wouldn’t have been cheaper. I definitely recommend anyone slightly interested in a place like this come here as they will fully enjoy. We did not reside here but if their hotel accommodations are on par with their dining accommodations, you will get what you pay for and then some.“

“This was our seventh time celebrating Thanksgiving here and we were so happy to be here! Genera was our server and she was wonderful and kind. Dad is a Marine living at The VA Nursing Home at Montrose and this is his favorite place because they always treat him well and the food is delicious. George and his team make it look easy though you can taste the effort and love the team puts into every meal. I highly recommend eating here. GO!“

“Service here is phenomenal. Sometimes it gets a little slow but trust me the food is worth it. It's just a small diner, they do a bunch of homemade baking and it's always a hit. Love the Biscuits and Gravy and the cheddar chive scone is to die for. Everyone's always happy and the two owners really make the experience so get there before 2!“

“Food is AMAZING!! I am a vegetarian & my husband is a pescatarian. We love their vegan food, the seitan reuben, chunk steak, seitan parm, club sandwich, everything is delicious!! Head chef & owner is so sweet. Also beautiful view & gorgeous interior.“

“My daughter invited us to this resturant for hubby birthday on Sunday I’ve never been there before but let me tell you we got seated right away girl who sat us very sweet but overall our waiter Tommy was amazing food was delicious hot and fresh we had the wings flatbread Greek burgers my favorite burger with one desk maybe it wasn’t the heaviest but the best can’t wait to go back tommmy u deserve all the stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️?“

“Firehouse Grille, oh what a thrill! With beer towers high, and wings that thrill, Fireman's ice tea, a blaze of delight, In the heart of New York, a beacon at night. Burgers so juicy, they'll make you cheer, Flames of flavor, from far and near. Sip on brews tall, reaching for the stars, In this culinary inferno, where taste buds spar. With each bite and sip, a fiery dance, At Firehouse Grille, take a chance. So if you seek a culinary spree, Come to Firehouse Grille, where taste runs free!“

“Amazing. Service was A1, food was amazing but don't come expecting large portions, this place is the definition of quality over quantity. No complaints and experience was most definitely 5 star worthy! Agim was very lovely and made the experience 100 times better!“

“My partner and our 3 children just love coming to burger barn! What a tasty treat this place is! The service is always friendly and prompt. The burgers are out of this world, very creative and juicy. Would definitely recommend to anyone that’s craving a burger“

“Pastel's has been a part of Peekskill for as long as some of its landmarks. It's a great little Diner that brings together friends and family for good food and conversation.It's small and quaint. It has a vibe that makes you want to come back over and over. Just makes you feel at home.“

“Char is a great place to eat. Incredible attention to detail, service is great even at a busy time. Great cocktails - Fizzy Peach! Not in the menu any more but they’ll still make it. You’ll see the man who runs the place everywhere shaping everything that’s happening all the time. Runs a tight ship but staffed properly so they have the time to do a good job. Men’s room is in perfect condition always - looks and smells new. You know that if that is so right then all the things you can’t see must be perfect too.“

“I have nothing but fabulous things to say about Mobile Pie Truck. The food is absolutely wonderful. Authentic wood-fired pizza that rivals NY and CT pies, which are already some of the best. All of our guests couldn't stop talking about how delicious it was. Frank and all of the staff were so warm, friendly, and helpful. Looking for a good excuse to book them again!“

“The staff is very accommodating for my grandmother who is 99 and hard of hearing. They let me pick the table that would be best suit us. Our waiter John was friendly professional, and very patient. We enjoy all that Lexington Cafe has to offer.“

“What a gem, of a place, definitely a keeper to revisit. My husband and I went with friends last night (Friday) we had a great time, everyone was friendly; very welcoming, music was great. The food was absolutely delicious, Ben, Jay thank you for your hospitality, we will be back soon.“

“Had great experience! The staff is top notch! Thank you Ryan! The food was excellent. Thank you!!“

“I absolutely love Shannon and Anna, they always provide fantastic service. The managers Will and Carl provide excellent customer care. I bring my autistic 2 year old nephew, he’s very limited with the foods he eats and they are amazing at ensuring he has what he needs. I feel like family when we’re there!“

“The service is on point and the food is excellent. Unless you are riding a motorcycle, parking is almost non existent. That said, I rated it a four for atmosphere because it is a biker bar with a restaurant and that is honestly not my thing. If you are a bike fan, you would likely rate this place a five.Parking: Motorcycles have a reserved parking area, cars are on their own to find street side parking.“

“A small cafe that serves the newly built water front development. There is only few tables inside, but a nice outdoor seating area. We were pleasantly surprised by stumble upon this place by searching Google. The food was fantastic, we ordered a salmon dish which was cooked to perfection and a nice cheese burger with sweet potato fries. The portions were abundant, tasted delicious and reasonably priced. We really enjoyed it!“

“Friendly staff very clean and good food can’t go wrong“

“Awesome, my sister has been telling me how great Tasty Table is, finally I was able to visit. It was really an excellent experience. The place has a great vibe, the food is great !!!! The service was kind and very knowledgeable. The owner is a sweetheart, very hard-working and very pleasant, she really shows such a passion for her restaurant. We went without a reservation , the place was packed, so we waited a bit, which is totally expected when a place is as popular as tasty table. This place really has it going on !! The mimosa flights, coffee flights, avocado toast, cauliflower, breakfast pizza all delish.. this will be me and my sisters go to place when I visit..“

“Well let me say that out of the many burgers I’ve had, this was the best one in a WHILE! My cousin and I were out and hungry, and on a whim I searched for “burgers near me” and came across POW! Burger. When we walked in, the staff immediately greeted us, and our service was very good.I got the double POW! Burger with jalapeños added in and my cousin ordered the double Cheese Burger, and it didn’t even take 10 minutes, they came and left our order at our table, and we were SHOOK!These burgers are a hybrid via smash burger size but loaded burger presentation (see photo). We took our first bites, and the flavors just hit us like a semi-truck. The patties are made and cooked right in front of you, the vegetables tasted fresh, and their aioli sauce was on point. All in all, 8/10 grade, very good! I have had 10/10 burgers before from places that really push the limits of creativity and flavor, but there’s nothing wrong with going the tried and true way, classic always works!The ambience itself is good, they have a lot of seating, and it did get busy so you know people like the food. However, the grill is out in the open near some of the seating, which is fine, restaurants want to show you that they make your food fresh, but the quality and taste of your food should prove that on its own. Nonetheless, very good experience, I will definitely be coming back here soon!“

“Stopped in for lunch and immediately enjoyed the atmosphere of this Irish Pub. When I heard their Clam Chowder was homemade it was the first thing I ordered. It was creamy to a degree that wasn’t overbearing. Plenty of clams and just enough of potatoes to complement the clams. I could have eaten more. Maybe one of the best I ever had. The burger was fresh and charbroiled to perfection. Fries were crispy. Good selection of beers. Service was attentive and restaurant and bathroom very clean. Street parking only.“

“If you haven't been to this local slot, do stop in! Monday is Jam Night where area musicians play together. It's a showcase of the talent in and around Mahopac and the Hudson Valley.The food is elevated bar food with burgers served on brioche and homemade potato salad.Vegetarian options: Veggie burger“

“Great food and atmosphere. Owners and staff are wonderful.“

“Making a delivery for Uber which is funny I came to this place for the first time. Looking around I knew that this was a place I wanted to try. So I went back and how amazing is the food. A healthy option for good. I came here twice already and did the hamburger the first time and it was so good. The staff is friendly and always have a smile to help seat and serve you. The food came on time and hot. The second time I went then I had the chicken sliders and man oh man so flavorful. This is a place I would recommend and also take my family to for any function.“

“Great Food at very reasonable prices. Also. Great quiet atmosphere..Our family had wonderful time.“

“The food was great. I ordered the pork chop with spinach and roasted potatoes. The food came out hot just the way I like it. My friend ordered the chicken Mona Lisa. I tried my Friends entree and I will say what I tried was fabulous. I love Norca the bartender and she gives wonderful service. Norca makes you feel like you don't want to leave, she is very welcoming and warm. I like to visit this restaurant when Norca is working. When Norca doesn't work I don't show up and neither does my friends. Very nice decor comfortable atmosphere great vibes all the way around. The pizza is also great too. If you're in the mountains kisco area. Happy eating and Happy dining“

“I took my daughters there for a 7 year old birthday party. It was cool for the kids, and the pizza was good. I would have liked some more game options, especially since they have a sports bar section for adults. They also have an axe throwing setup as well. Part of this place is under renovation. I would definitely go back for an adult night out after renovations are complete. Looks like it may be even more fun.“

“Very interesting menu, the four of us ate different things and we all loved everything! The asian food was delicious and different from typical Japanese restaurants. Oysters were fresh, clean and delicious. Definitely going back there when we have Paramount Theatre tickets!“

“A cool local bar. our waiter/bartender was so sweet ? wish I could remember her name. We had mozzarella sticks, dirty tater tots, and teriyaki garlic wings. Portions were big ! Flavor on point. We had Jack and cokes that were perfect ! May not look like anything when you walk in, but don't judge a book by its cover! I almost did, and I'm glad I didn't. The tables had all New york sports teams. Sorry, I missed that because I would have picked the Knicks one, lol. Thank you for a great time and great bar food.“

“I was just at the Muscoot Tavern lastnight and the food was sooooo good. The Service was great. I highly recommend the Muscoot Tavern!!!“

“Hubby and I came here to meet our friend for brunch. It's a spacious, cozy, pleasant cafe with enough room for small and big groups. Alexa was our server. She's fast and attentive. Good! We'll eat slowly. We ordered mussels for appetizer. Then I had a wild fish taco, Hubby had a Village burger, and our friend had a duck quesadilla; I am not kidding; it's a duck quesadilla! Of course, I had my hot green tea! I love my hot tea during brunch or lunch. The mussel was phenomenal! The food was exceptional! We loved everything that we ordered. The homemade creamy sauce that they used on top of my taco was fantastic. I don't usually like creamy sauce or anything with my food, but I definitely enjoyed this one. We want to come back and check out more dishes. Everything's excellent! Thanks!“

“Everything was great, but I would recommend the place knock down the smell of their floor cleaner. I found it overwhelming throughout the place. Some people like me are sensitive to chemical scents and it conflicts with the aroma of the food and drink.“

“Nice place, excellent service. The scallops were awesome, the baked lobster tails were very good and only a little over-done. They did have trouble not overcooking the snapper, but they were very gracious and accommodating when it didn't work out. Will try this Eatery “

“love this place! food is great! ambiance very hip!“
