The place has gone downhill since it was sold. Food is very expensive and quite frankly not at all tasty. It seems using spices, is a lost art. Service is also weak. Not friendly nor very knowledgeable. I miss the former owners. And note, we know food- and theirs. They catered our wedding. Folks still talk About the food and the cupcake wedding cake. read more

Bistro To Go...home to ome of the most healthy and freshest food in the Hudson Valley but unfortunately we also go there for the bake goods. Specifically the Eclairs! They use to have the world's best Eclairs I (which i understand may possibly had there origin from Guann at Stone Soup) have had and I travel quite a bit. It is not until this past year things have changed, you might say things have gotten very grainy! There was always a balance between the ultra smooth, not so sweet, Chantilly like cream filling and the sweetness that is derived from the chocolate laiden pastrie cap that all made for the perfect bite. Sad to say this is not the case anymore. Smooth has faded to make way for a grainy, inferior filling. If we are paying a premium price shouldn't it be better then Entermenn's? In this consumers opinion..."Say good by to the Perfect Eclair". Wait a minute, I will try one front Stone Soup to see if the rumors are true. Stay tuned for an update! read more

My sister and I got their Tuscan chicken panini and it was absolutely delicious! The customer service was incredible as well! Very sweet staff that work there and very patient with difficult customers that I saw there. read more

This place is no joke. I don't know how they survive out on rt 28 but somehow they do. The food is all obviously home made (I peeked in the back and saw them cooking!) and extremely high quality. I picked up some sandwiches and some stuff from the display for lunch. The panini took a little while to come out but they have plenty of cold stuff that's ready to go. There are a few tables around the side past the cash register, and some coolers with interesting food and drinks to go. Pro tip: Order at the counter to the left, then go all the way to the right to pick up and pay. read more

Always a guarantee to find fresh, wholesome , curated assortment of food that travels well. We have occasionally relied on Bistro to Go for quick lunch, dinner or to fill in for a meal we may have planned with guests. Never let us down. read more

The food is always fresh and delicious, making it the perfect place to stop during a road trip. I especially love the edamame dumplings!

The counter was busy when we walked in, and it was unclear where to order, but we were in no hurry, and the service was very courteous once it was our turn. There are signs above of where to order and where to pay. The Blue Mountain Bistro-To-Go Feel Good Food is a delicious stop on Route 28 in Kingston, NY. You can enjoy your takeout in a lovely intimate dining room round back. We shared a Primavera Panini (filled with grilled zucchini, eggplant, roasted tomato and fresh mozzarella, basil aïoli) and a side of the hoisin brussel sprouts. The veggie potstickers were incredible, and my mother-in-law walked out with two dozen. After we added these delicious yummy's to our tummies, we picked up a few items from the bakery: chocolate eclair, magic dream bar, pecan brownie & an assortment of cookies. We left with a very large bag and big smiles on our faces! PS: I accidentally left my Coach purse dangling on a chair. When I called back an hour later, they had already safely put it away, and I was able to easily retrieve it. I am so grateful for their honesty! read more

I've cooked for the last 45 years. I worked in restaurants and some of NYC's most famous delis when i was a younger, so I know food pretty well. This is a great spot. Sandwiches are delicious, nice mix of ingredients, fresh, plentiful, staff is nice. Just ate there today, I missed the turkey club so much I was craving it. Also they have a good selection of things to pick up to snack on. I always stopo there on my way to my house in Woodstock. read more

I'd like to give Bistro-to-Go a better recommendation, but since it was sold the quality has gone down a few notches, the per item entrees have gotten smaller, and the prices have gone up beyond our comfort zone. The last two times we were there we requested they select rare steak for us, since prior to that the meat was cooked too long (near well done). They said it was all rare, but when we cut into them they were barely pink. Twice. At $ 30+/lb, they should offer to cut the steak to guarantee it's what the customer requests. Noting the prices had gone up, I asked if they charged a percentage for using a credit card and was told they decided to just raise their prices for everyone since some customers were ticked off they were being charged more. Well, yeah. But if you put up a sign that you are now charging more for using a cc, there won't be any surprises. If I knew there was a choice, I would've paid cash. Treat your customers well and we'll be back. read more

Superb service and flavorful real food. Fast and efficient, great location. read more

We had an AWFUL experience at this bistro. Not only did they refuse to give me the piece of cake we wanted, but when we asked for it, a young staff member, clearly annoyed, threw a plastic container on the table with aggression. She seemed irritated to serve people. This place is too expensive to be treated like this. We'll never go back! read more

One of my FAVORITE go to spots to pick up a quick lunch or all the makings of dinner! Everything is cooked fresh daily with new specials appearing each day! Service is impeccable and you could eat off the floors it's so clean...very important since everything is open! If you haven't had their chicken cutlet sandwich, you are truly missing out! read more

I'm normally not a sandwich type person but omg!! these were not ordinary sandwiches!! We ordered the Italiano Panini and the Chicken Cutlet Sandwich = YUMMY!!! Plenty of parking, lots of choices and already prepared food!! Will come again next time we are in town!! read more

If we're heading up to Woodstock, this is one way we rarely hit. It was good timing we did and a nice surprise to see Blue Mountain in this area. Way past lunch and decided on a quick nosh and some sweet goodies to bring with us to our hotel. It's not a restaurant, not a deli, not even a pastry shop. I know it's a mouthful- but it's actually a little bit of everything plus more in between. Pastry counter on the left and what seems like glass display cases from end to end- full of already-prepared sandwiches and salads. And from my angle, salads are nowhere near a sloppy mess and drenched in mayo. Top to bottom wooden shelves filled with canned and jar goods and tables in the back- if you want to eat-in. Picked up Vegetarian and meat sandwiches for us. And couldn't leave without Sweets- so headed for a few Linzer cookies, Chocolate Chip Cookies and of course......a Chocolate Mousse cup. But that just rocked the boat- because I wanted another one. Blue looks comfortable and really nice to see their new business here. Our visit was a tasty one. Low-key but Gourmet-stamped! read more

We had take out wraps. I had the vegetarian one. It was what I would call "a cut above": very sophisticated & subtle flavors. Another specialty: They have ice cubes made of coffee for their iced coffee! Brilliant! read more

Stupendous catering! I ordered large platters and a salad for a surprise party. Just days before the event, my friend came down with Covid and was unable to make the cake; the bakery staff graciously agreed to take on making a cake for 25 people. This last minute assistance was literally the icing on the cake! The food and especially the cake - were exceptional in every way. Easy to work with, generous portions, excellent food, beautifully displayed trays and reasonably priced. This was my first time utilizing their catering services and I would use them again in a heartbeat! This party was for a foodie...someone with a knowledgeable palate and this experience was literally 5 star! Thank you Bakery + Catering staff for making my event so easy to pull off from start to finish! I'll be back for my next event. read more

Don't show up hungry. Place almost empty and no food after 40 minutes. Can't tell you about the food since I haven't seen any.

The service is a little slow, but the food is delicious so overall, still worth it! They don't heat up your food unless you explicitly ask them to though, which I didn't realize. And I wasn't a huge fan of the type of wrap they used for the vegan thai peanut veg wrap but other than that everything tasted fresh and the peanut sauce was great! This is also about a 1 minute drive from the onteora lake trailhead so it has that going for it too! read more

Got a moroccan chicken wrap which was completely tasteless and felt like rubber. It looked great but was inedible. Threw it out. Staff are really nice though. read more

Love their pastries and most of their food. Sometimes, the wait is ridiculously long, so I don't stop in unless I have extra time in my day. But if I do have time to wait, it's usually worth it. read more

Glorified Deli. Stopped there on the way to my sister's house in Shokan, and when I arrived at around 5, they said they closed the grill at 4. So, no grilled foods for me. And no bacon on sandwiches. I thought it weird they were still open and serving but closed grill. Ah well, got a couple of sandwiches (1 turkey, 1 chicken) and I have to say, they were nothing outstanding. Fresh tasting: yes. Special: No. Flavor: meh. The accompanying coleslaw salads weren't killing it either. Bread wasn't anything to write home about. I've had better sandwiches in Rhinebeck and uptown Kingston. Definitely NOT a place I'll run back to. Now, Cheese Louise next store...that's a whole different story. read more

It's honestly a bit hit or miss here. Staff is extremely nice and helpful but the food is just okay. It does taste very fresh, but most of the time is lacking any flavor. My favorite item is the thai peanut wrap and their panini's are also quite good but I wish they had more vegetarian options. Pastries are delicious but it's a little strange that you can't pay for them with a card and have to wait to get rung up on the other side. Not a huge deal but seems like it can be fixed. Overall a good spot to pick up a quick meal or snack that doesn't leave you feeling groggy after. read more

Called ahead to pick up a lunch order for three adults and a teen. Our order was ready when we arrived 25 to 30 minutes later, so there was no wait! This was my first panini; I got the artichoke and spinach one and it was absolutely delicious. I mean, I was feeling full before I finished it and it was challenging for me to put sone of it aside for later, but so did and was so glad later. The bite I had of the teen's Tuscany sandwich was equally enjoyable and the two other made to order sandwiches were devoured quickly and happily. Everyone who wanted potato chips was able to get their preferred flavor (BBQ and Jalapeño). Finally, the teen loved the mini chocolate chip cookies and coconut macarons. Will definitely order lunch from here again. read more

Great food at reasonable prices. The service can be slow at times, however it is worth the wait. Everything that they prepare is excellent!

If you want great tasting and high quality food for a reasonable price this is the place to go. They also have an excellent bakery that will make cakes and pies to order. The staff is friendly and efficient. read more

We planned on a late breakfast but the breakfast sandwiches were gone down "settled" for salmon, roast tomatoes and corn bread. Delicious! And great coffee, too. read more

BIG FAILURE wow what a let down. its impossible to get good service here. when you do get serive they are downright rude. if you can get past the bad service then the food will disappoint even more. the soup was bland. the food trys so hard to be good with its looks but when you put it in your mouth you'll notice its a failure. read more

Mary Anne and the staff at Blue Mountain Bistro did an absolutely outstanding job at my daughter's wedding yesterday. From start to finish we received first-class service and food. Mary Anne worked with us for a year to help us plan the food and equipment for an outdoor wedding. We felt very special at the tasting as we sat in a private dining room, and tried all their tasty appetizers and entrées . As the wedding time approached she was on top of all the preparations. Wouldn't you know it though, on the day of the wedding it was pouring rain. I mean pouring! That was when I became really impressed with Mary Anne and her staff. Working while thoroughly drenched, they moved all the equipment into that our tent and hung sides on the tent to keep the guests dry, and the party on track. The food was wonderful, starting with the appetizers -- chicken satay, falafel, mac and cheese pops, lamb meatballs, and lobster rolls. The guests raved about these. Her artisan cheese platter was also wonderful, I could've eaten there all day. For entrées we had a buffet of chicken and fillet mignon, which were both done perfectly and again the guests raved. My only disappointment was that there were not more leftovers for us to take home. I wish I could give them more than five stars, because under the terrible working conditions I think Mary Anne and her staff were wonderful. Even though they were completely wet for hours, they all had smiles on their faces and were eager to help us with all the little things that go into running a wedding. Since we only have one daughter, we will have to invent excuses to hire them in the future. You shouldn't wait though, hire them now. read more

Stopped in here on Friday night and stocked up on some incredible food for the weekend. They've got everything here to satisfy carnivores, vegans & vegetarians which is rare around there. They made me a delicious crab cake sandwich to go (not on the menu) that was perfect. The service was friendly and helpful (I don't know what others are complaining about). Bought a couple soups that were great: potato leek & veggie chili. They've got interesting desserts/chocolates/brownies that cater to those with food/additive sensitivities which is much appreciated. Lots of agave-sweetened stuff to be found (in addition to regular sugar-sweetened). My only complaint is that I wish they were open later on Friday & Saturday nights. All other food options on Rt 28 at night are garbage. read more

Every single time I get something from here I'm impressed! Very yummy and quality truly matches the price. Specials everyday. Their coffee is awesome. Staff is super friendly. Always a treat to grab from Bistro. read more

Best custom bakery around. Took vapor wave inspired art to them for inspiration less than a week in advance to ordered a cake for my teen. Couldn't bring a cake from our regular NYC baker and have never found a custom maker in the area. Was floored with taste, quality and the effort and design They know their stuff. They know how to make ombre and use gold flecks, etc. They will mix the flavors and layers you want. They also have lots of GLUTEN FREE PASTRIES , cookies, desserts, mousse and panna cotta. read more

Blue Mountain Bistro-to-Go - Custom cake-showed them some vapor wave designs and voila! They know how to do ombre and gold flecks. The banner was us - New American Near Me - Kingston, New York

INCREDIBLY GREAT!!!!!!!!!!! The food was excellent, the pastries some of the best in the Hudson Valley I've ever had. The food was NOT OVERPRICED, like many other restaurants are, quite reasonable for what you get. Someone who once experienced "bad service" does not ruin the food of a restaurant. I had great service. Try the curry chicken salad. Many of the other restaurants in Woodstock have been a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT, so YOU don't know what you're talking about. This place rocks. read more

I love the variety and quality of food at Bistro-to-go. The paninis are perfectly toasted, the mashed potatoes are heavenly, their meats and their vegetable mixes are always cooked just right. The soups are delicious too. They make these amazing Thai rice cakes, and their chickens wings are great. If you get there early on a weekday, try one off the breakfast sandwiches...i don't know what they do to those eggs but they get 'em fluffy as a cloud. I find that sometimes the flavors of their salads (tuna salad, potato salad, etc) are too strong (too much vinegar or onion or horseradish or something) but maybe that just a matter of preference. If you're interested in the sweet side, I recommend the cookies. The cakes are ok; the ones I've tried were a bit rich...but their cookies are lovely, I especially love the pecan lace, banana oat, and an oatmeal one that tastes more like shortbread. Great macaroons too. Sometimes it is busy, but take a number and be assertive and they will soon get to you. It's true that the kitchen staff looks like an intimidating bunch but...they aren't the serving staff. They make awesome food, I don't care if they are back there scowling! The servers/counter staff are always polite to me. Are they all the super bubbly smiley types? No. But they are polite and professional...and I can be a high-maintenance customer so I know! It's not inexpensive, but it's worth it for quality ingredients, interesting flavors, and overall excellent fare. read more

Gross overcharging -- $5.99 for a two dollar Kikoman teriyaki sauce smh. Service is also despondent and seemingly aloof. Real bad look.

Simply the best! Never let down ordering from here and the staff is just the sweetest! Highly recommend eating here!!

This place is great. If you are looking to grab quick lunch take out that is healthy and delicious, this is the place to do it. I usually get a chicken Caesar wrap. They put croutons in the wrap! It adds an awesome crunch to the sandwich. Now that i think about it, it is actually one of the few food items that i get a craving for and cant rest until i finally eat it. The dressing is classic Caesar and the chicken is always fresh and wonderful. You can get it fried or grilled, which is a nice option to have. I does get busy in there around lunch time. I see some of the other reviews said negative things about that. In my opinion, they do a great job. it isnt McDonalds and some types of food take longer to put together than others. If the person behind you in line got their meal before you, and you are in that much of a rush, dont order something so complicated! Remember, you are eating here because it is fast food that is NOT fastfood. Also you can call ahead and place an order to pick up. There have been several occassions where I call around 10am to place an order for pickup at noon. If your life is so crazy that you cant wait 5 minutes for a fresh home cooked meal, then PLAN AHEAD. So grab yourself a Caesar wrap (order and extra side of dressing for dipping, you wont regret it). read more

I'm writing this from the restaurant as I'm practically licking my plate clean. Had the lunch plate special. Dijonnaise salmon, 3 bean salad, and sesame noodles. Excellent is all I can say. I'd eaten here twice before. First time was great,don't remember what I had, but it was good. Second time I had the Mediterranean panini, which like another poster mentioned, wasn't great. Can't wait to come back again and try the club panini!! read more

We had local duck confit, wild alaskan sockeye, and the most delicious butternut squash bread pudding ever at our fall wedding at Onteora with Blue Mountain Bistro. Great as a quick lunch stop, and the bakery is awesome too.They were a pleasure to work with from the tasting until after the wedding was concluded and I would highly recommend them! read more

Excellent food on the go. The freshest ingredients and beautiful presentation. The soups are a bit bland and disappointing given how good the rest of the food is but all in all, very good. read more

As the President of a hospitality consulting company that works with hotels, resorts and restaurants both nationally and internationally, I have had the pleasure of shopping and eating at Bistro-to-Go. The quality of the food is the freshest possible, the staff is vibrant, helpful and knowledgeable about their products, and the environment is always fresh, clean and welcoming. Owners Mary Anne and Richard Erickson are obviously tuned in to the mindset of treating their staff as well as their customers on an equal footing- with loving care. Bravo Team Bistro-to-Go! read more
