    Grits with Sunnyside up egg, & crispy bacon.  Just like my mom makes it.  It was thick and creamy the way grits should be.
    Debbie O.

    We were looking for somewhere to have breakfast for my birthday. My husband saw they had grits on their menu. I saw that the yelp review had 4.9 stars so we decided to go here. Im so glad we did. My grits were made just like my Mom makes them, creamy & perfect. I had them with 1 sunnyside up egg and crispy bacon. My husband had the Uncle Joe's breakfast which consisted of home fries ( small cut up potatoes) , Bacon & sausage, 2 eggs and toast which he totally enjoyed too. When I went to take a picture of my husband's breakfast it was already 1/2 gone The owner and the waiter were very nice and accommodating. While talking to the owner we realized we both graduated from the same school although years apart, Im much older The restaurant was very clean and you can see the kitchen and grill. It was nice and clean. Just good vibes when you walked in. I will definitely be going back before I leave this area.

    4.5 Like the owner and chef, Joe, told me: "Nothing but vibes in here." He wasn't lying. We were looking for breakfast on our way from Hudson to Woodbury Commons last Sunday, and Good Eat'n came up as a highly rated option. Good Eat'n isn't trying to impress you with flashy decor, and I think that's part of its charm. The space is clean, comfortable, and has clearly made some updates from the previous establishment. What makes the place memorable though is the hospitality. Joe was behind the counter when we arrived, greeting us like old friends, introducing us to a couple of regulars and his server, and inviting us to sit wherever we'd like. I didn't get a chance to take a picture of the menu, but it was a straightforward breakfast menu. We ordered an egg sandwich with sausage and a stack of pancakes with sausage. In my opinion, the portions were very generous, especially the size of the sausage and the pancakes (check out the picture). When Joe noticed I was slowing down toward the end of my meal, he actually started cheering me on to finish--and even gave me a hug afterwards when I just couldn't do it. My only critique was how salty the sausages were. Other than that, good food, good people, and good vibes.

    Food is absolutely delicious. Black-owned, father-daughter owned, legacy business! Staff is so friendly and helpful. Can't wait to return!

    Shrimp & Grits!!

    Good Eat'N is amazing!! I saw a picture of the shrimp and grits and KNEW I had to try them for myself. My husband and I were welcomed warmly by the awesome family who runs this place, and loved everything we tried - the sweet tea was perfect, the mozzarella sticks and cornbread were great, and I have had dreams about those shrimp and grits ever since I ate them. If you're anywhere in the Hudson Valley you have to try this place!! I know we'll be back.

    Any time we're out running errands on Broadway in Kingston, NY or just happen to be driving by, we always catch a glimpse of Good Eat'N and say, "One of these days, we're stopping in." Well, the day I went in after work to pick up dinner was finally the day and let me tell you, it didn't disappoint. As a pescatarian, the very first thing I scan for in any soul-food menu is the fish situation. Their fried whiting caught my attention. Meanwhile, my husband is loyal to his meat classics: fried chicken or ribs. No surprise he went straight for the fried chicken. The real cherry on top was chatting with the owner's daughter, Mercedes. We ended up cracking up over our names. I mean seriously, what are the chances? It felt like one of those small-world moments that instantly makes a place feel even more welcoming. Good Eat'N truly lives up to its name. The service is amazing, the history behind the place is heartfelt, and their motto, "Have a Blessed Day", is something they genuinely deliver. You can feel the love, the pride and the smiles in every corner and their food. And before I forget... the cornbread. Not just their classic cornbread, which is already chef's kiss, but their sweet potato cornbread. Yup, Sweet. Potato. Cornbread. A little different- but tasty.Good Eat'N is a true gem up in these sticks and I'm so glad I finally stopped by.

    First time in Kingston and found this great spot! We went for breakfast but they also serve lunch and dinner. Will definitely come back. Egg sandwich and grits were fresh and delicious! More than that the owner and staff were friendly, attentive and just good people. Love the friendly, family vibe. Definitely check this place out.

    The ambiance at Good Eat'n was charming, cozy and comforting. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by the owner Joe as well as his staff. The initial greet in any establishment will set the tone of whats too come, experience wise. I was so happy I looked up southern food and came across this establishment. The ambiance is something I'd like to compare to dinner at grandmas house on a Sunday afternoon. This is the perfect environment to dine in on any given day, especially if you're looking for a fantastic southern cooked meal. Everything on the menu looked incredible so I had to go with a couple different dishes to get a feel of the menu. I had the catfish which was lightly breaded, had the perfect crunch and nice flavor. The ribs were so tender and fall off the bone I mean it was incredible, paired with the delicious collard greens. Next the fried chicken.... Wow the crunch, the flavor and the juiciness of the chicken had me in awe. That dish was also paired with a tasty and cheesy Mac n cheese as well as yams. The cornbread is and will always be a favorite of mine during dinner. Can we talk about the turkey? I mean wow so juicy and flavorful , I almost thought I was having thanksgiving, I mean juicy and surpassed my expectations. Now everyone's part of any meal... desert, am I right? This cake was the perfect late night to go snack with a warm cup of milk. I can't wait to come back and indulge in five more dishes. Thank you Good Eat'n and staff for such an amazing experience.

    Fish and potato salad Lunch special

    The food is made with love and was extremely flavorful and delicious - made with love. Mercedes and Chef Joe could not have warmer, really top tier service. They redid the place that's been around for years, really fresh and warm atmosphere. Will be coming here again.

    minus the cornbread that i tore up immediately!

Our trusty Yelp app led us to this historic building and restaurant. I'm really glad we came to see some truly great architecture and learn some cool history of life before these United States. Even though the British tried to burn it down during the Revolutionary War, the family restored it to previous glory and it remained in their possession for over 200 more years! Now let's talk about the restaurant experience.... We were seated immediately and given a choice of indoor or covered outdoor seating. Laura came to get a drink order and offered some kids specials. She also put in our daughter's order right away so that she would be occupied and well fed. A chicken quesadilla with fries won her over and filled her up nicely. A bowl of New England clam chowder to start for me followed by a delicious Mushroom Omelette special. So fresh and tasty. The Mad Ukrainian ( formally MR or Mad Russian until the war broke out) had a delicious Reuben Sandwich with fries and a Garden Salad. After the salad and a half sandwich, she decided to save some room for dessert at another place nearby. Pair that up with a couple of local Beers and some soft drinks and coffee and we had an enjoyable lunch. Pricing is excellent compared to home prices and we ate with leftovers, drank, and got a historical glimpse back in time for less than $70. Home run in my book!

Of course our fat asses ordered the 3 Gelato flavors, and ate it all!!! It was so good.

The highlight of our dinner was the truffle fries. We ordered the mussels appetizer, and it was flavorless. My BF enjoyed his burger, but the seafood Alfredo I had was quite disappointing; the pasta was cooked perfectly, but the sauce left much to be desired; it could've used more sauce and flavor. The restaurant is pricey; just a side order of truffle fries was $11.

This whole time, I really thought this place was inside a cozy hotel about 2 blocks over. Guess you learn something new every day. We pulled up on a Thurs. around 4 with no res. and got seated real quick. Restaurant K. is airy, chic and gives a relaxed vibe. The menu is on the smaller side, but honestly, there's something for every eating style. We kept things light instead of diving into something heavy. Our spring greens salad was really good: hefty mound of mixed greens, lima beans, string beans and a hint of dill to make everything pop. Hubs had the double-stacked burger with white cheddar on a potato bun and loved it. I had high hopes for the hush puppies because they sounded amazing on paper- but they were doughy than corny and threw me off. Then came dessert. Again- sounded great on paper. It kinda feels like desserts get a "reinvented" treatment here(?). For instance, the strawberry shortcake was deconstructed: a few chunks of white cake, some diced strawberries and whipped cream. Totally unexpected. I ordered the 'Fun-Fetti Dunkaroos' with madeleines because they caught my eye, but they're smaller than standard. The food isn't bad at all. We were just caught off guard by how some of our selections were prepped. What really saved the evening were the cocktails. They were beautifully made and had a lot of strength. No watered-down nonsense here! Plus, our server Karina(?) was super sweet. I asked if I could try the passion fruit purée to see if it was the real deal for one of the cocktails I ordered and she brought me a little sample. Passed the test!
