I'm not gonna lie--this whole dinner was part of a very specific mission. I was craving ribs, and…read morewhen I saw this place not only had them but also served hibiscus lemonade, I made the executive decision to have my family drive to Poughkeepsie from our bed & breakfast just to check it out. Worth it? Mostly, yes! Food: 4/5 We tried a little bit of everything, the Seared chicken breast - Hands down my favorite dish of the night. Perfectly cooked, well-seasoned, and flavorful. Followed by the Bacon, egg, and homemade biscuit - A close second! The biscuit was dense and satisfying, and it had a really unique pesto-like sauce on top that made it memorable. Some other shout outs: 1) Orecchiette veggie pasta - Orecchiette is hard to find on menus, so I was delighted to see it here. It was a nice light option among our heavier dishes. 2) Jerk ribs - OK, so this is where my expectations and reality didn't fully align. They were well-cooked, but I'm a saucy girl, and these weren't as slathered or juicy as I'd hoped. That said, the rest of my table really enjoyed them. Also, that hibiscus lemonade? Chef's kiss. Refreshing and flavorful, and exactly the kind of detail that makes a place stand out to me. Service: 4/5 Now, here's where I was really surprised: one person was running the whole show. The head chef was managing the kitchen and the front of house--no servers, no extra help. Just him. For the amount of work that entails, he crushed it. Was it a bit slower than a staffed restaurant? Of course. But honestly, it gave the whole experience a humble, homegrown vibe that I appreciated. Also, it meant a lot to support a Black-owned restaurant and actually connect with the person behind the food. Final Thoughts: While we came for dinner, I could tell from the menu (and the vibe) that this place is really known for brunch. I'm genuinely curious to come back during brunch hours to see how the energy--and menu--might shift. Either way, it's definitely worth a visit if you're in the area and looking for a spot with heart, flavor, and soul.

The staff were very friendly and inviting, plus when the order was wrong they immediately corrected it without issue. I got three eggs your way, with sausage patties, hash browns and sourdough toast. Honestly it was good, nothing over the top amazing but a very good breakfast, the hash browns I will say I should sub them since they kind under-seasoned. Also this place was mad busy after I came in, so I can see why they have reservations. It was packed by time I left. Also they have an outdoor pick up window if you don't want to come in.

Middle Eastern pizza? Yes, please! I stumbled onto Mila Shawarma & Pizzaria recently, and even…read morethough I couldn't find much info on them, I decided to give them a shot and ordered takeout. They offer surprisingly good pizza, mouthwatering waffles, and delicious lamb over rice... all under one roof! I also tried their shakes, which were good, but not the highlight. I'm still not sure what to categorize the place as, because of the range of items they offer - but all the food I tried has been great so far. I really liked the waffles - I wish they offered more savory waffle/crepe options, but even without, I'd be back to try he ret of the menu. The staff is very friendly, and the shop looks very clean. Overall a 4.5/5. Some of the menu items are pricier, but the portions are pretty good, and they seem to use quality ingredients.

I am not the world's biggest pancake fan, but I like them. My wife, who is a fairly big pancake…read morefan, wanted to visit Village after doing a bit of research while we were on vacation in the area. Although I'm normally Team Savory at breakfast, I make an exception if it's my first time visiting a place with pancake in the name. Village is located in a mall near the Wappingers Falls and Poughkeepsie border. The inside was very clean and nicely decorated. Service was very good. Although my Turtle Pancakes were well constructed and looked fantastic, the pancake base was not great. It had an unpleasing mouth feel, lacked fluffiness and didn't have great flavor. My wife had a similar reaction. I don't know if this was a "one off" bad batter, but we were surprised that a place specializing in pancakes didn't have this component of their food on automatic slam dunk mode. The toppings were tasty. I only ate about one-third of my pancakes. Partly because it was a large serving. Partly because the pancakes weren't really enjoyable. Maybe they're usually better, but I couldn't say. 2 Stars for the pancakes themselves, but in light of the toppings, service and atmosphere, I'll rate my experience at 2.5 Stars overall.

The business is still operating well, bringing in a decent amount of customers which I've noticed passing by in the mall hallway, adding additional upgrades to the interior and menu, and also great customer service. I'm very thrilled to see the menu and the offerings, as many just stick out. Every meal I've gotten has been very good, and the staff work hard for it. I was thrilled to see on our recent visit how attentive our waitress was, she kept checking in and had wonderful manners. Unfortunately, we never got her name. Also, an older busboy and server had wonderful manners and didn't get his name. Something to keep in mind is that some of the items are pricey compared to the last couple of years. We found some items at a great price. For a fairly quick and easy meal, consider this stop.

I appreciated the comfortable and cozy atmosphere, making it a great spot to catch up with friends. Our meal was remarkably fresh and served promptly. Their gluten-free, dairy-free, and soy-free pancakes are the best I've ever had--fluffy, flavorful, and topped with pure maple syrup that added the perfect touch of sweetness. They offer a cappuccino that is gluten-free, dairy-free, and soy-free--smooth, creamy, and surprisingly satisfying. It's uncommon to find a breakfast place that excels in both food quality and allergen safety like this one. Highly recommended for anyone with dietary restrictions or anyone who just loves pancakes done right.

When we got there, there was a moderate line waiting outside. I entered and was told there was a 20 minute wait. Ok I decided to wait. I was pleasantly surprised when they handed me a pager which meant I could wait in my car. The pager alerted and we entered the restaurant and was greeted by one of the three young hosts .. one of which sat us at a table closest to the door where many of the people were standing around waiting. This was not a table we wanted to eat at. When I told the host we didn't want the table because of the reason stated, they became disregarding and dismissive. At the same time that table was being cleared the waitress walked up to the host at the check in desk and loudly yelled "Don't ever take my tips from my table, only I will touch my cash tips or it gets confused". The older young host then told us that they could only sit us in that server's section because she was next.. Meanwhile a number customers were seated in the next 10 minutes at several tables we would have accepted. The host didn't care. We decided to leave and drove to Cracker Barrel down the street where they were equally busy and sat us immediately.. by the way I am no youngster, I have been and seen people re-seated plenty of times without the nuclear resistance we experienced at this restaurant. How is the food? I can't say, we left.

Quick breakfast after procedure at Vassar Hospital. X Benedict replaced with bacon instead of…read moreCanadian bacon and I had the eggs Benedict Florentine. We both wanted the home fries extra crispy. My sister checked in to see if they were made with onions. We were told that they were not so we went for it. Anyone who follows my reviews knows I have allergies to alliums so we made the point to let our waiter, Matt know. He was quite alert, and I believe made an effort to make sure that he communicated my allergy to the kitchen. It did not take long for our order to come out and it was stunning and massive. See the photograph. Unfortunately, my sister noted almost immediately that there was onion on the plate. How disappointing because it looked so good. We flagged down Matt to let him know. He was very apologetic and swept the plate away back to the kitchen returning a few minutes later to let me know that the hashbrowns were not an option. We replace those with french fries. Overall, the plate was returned about 10 minutes later and looked free of onions. The eggs were cooked the way we asked, and the french fries were crispy, although they appear to have been tossed in cornstarch or flour to make them crispy - that's a coating which I'm not fond of. All in all, the eggs were delicious and the portion size could have fed three people. We ordered a couple of desserts to take away. Grand total was about $50. Yikes. Add the tip and you're up to $65 for breakfast. I recognized that this was a fancier breakfast and not eggs over very easy, etc. but $50 for two breakfast and two desserts two beverages. That's a lot. Even at the price of groceries these days, $65 still goes a long way in the breakfast category. The ambience is classic diner and very clean the service was quite attentive, friendly, and professional although we did have to flag Matt down a couple of times. I don't think he was distracted, I think it was more his workflow. The loss of the star is because I was served something I was allergic to. That's not really excusable, but they did apologize. I am convinced that he advised the kitchen of my allergy but before finalizing my order, a trip to the kitchen to verify about whether onions or garlic was in any of the food would have been appreciated
