We were looking for a good burger and I came across the good reviews and decided to try it. I…read morefollowed the Waze directions and it brought me to a parking lot but I was initially confused because there was no sign of the business on the outside. We asked a bystander and he directed us inside the Academy. The place is not your typical joint. It almost feels like a venue with small vendors. The burgers and fries were a good portion but kinda greasy. I ordered the wings and they had a good taste and I liked the dill sauce on the side. It was something different although I think I would have preferred it thicker. Overall the place was descent, it does resemble Smashburger and the staff was very friendly and accommodating.

We stopped by Mill House Brewing Company for lunch after watching The Nutcracker at the Bardavon…read moreTheater, and it was the perfect way to end our afternoon. My daughter and I shared the Margherita pizza and the Garganelli Pasta with Short Rib Ragù, and both dishes were absolutely delicious. The pizza had a perfectly crisp crust with fresh, flavorful ingredients, and the short rib ragù was rich, tender, and incredibly comforting. Since it's a brewery, I couldn't leave without trying one of their beer flights. Our server recommended a selection, and every single beer was excellent. It was a fun way to sample their craft brews, and the recommendations were spot on. The service was friendly and attentive, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the location makes it an ideal stop before or after a show at the Bardavon. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Poughkeepsie! Highly recommend.

We tried the beers - and didn't like most of the ones recommended. To be fair, we're not beer connoisseurs and I was hoping for a nice cider. We had to order at the bar and then sit in another room. Not my idea of service but the bartender was nice. If you're looking for a quick, no fuss meal then this is your place. I was looking for something more.

I visited Lola's Cafe with my sister while walking on the Walkway over the Hudson Trail, in fact, if you're on the trail and go down the staircase that points to downtown Poughkeepsie Lola's is right to your left when you get off the staircase. We ate the autumn, chicken salad, wrap, and the Baja chicken wrap. My sister is gluten-free and was delighted they had menus with their gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options. The staff member who took our orders was kind and generous in his service. Interestingly they also sell coffee beans, merch, and to-go foods from their kitchen. On my next visit, I look forward to trying the cheesecake and one of their bowls, paninis, or salads!

You order at the counter and take a seat at the counter or tables. Their menu offers reasonably priced sandwiches, salads, and grab and go baked goods, including separate menus for vegans. We enjoyed the special chicken tzaziki wrap, salmon salad (tender and tasty), the vegan quinoa bowl was ok but a bit small and not too exciting. They also were preparing catering offers and there was a pretty constant stream of customers. The space is rather small but we got there at a good time to find seating. They also have a tap water station. There's only gender neutral bathroom, which makes for a little wait at times. Street parking and a small lot a short walk away.
