Dutchess Diner is different, a good difference. ?We entered the diner and were greeted by the owner. Clean, organized, modern and friendly environment. After being seated the wait for a waiter/waitress was super short.The service was perfect, the food had flavor, amazingly delicious. Their soups are smooth and homely.I now go to the Dutchess Diner regularly, 5 stars.

Delicious food. I had a simple BLT wrap with crispy chicken and a side of fries and coleslaw, all of it was amazing! The freshly squeezed lemonade was actually freshly squeezed and extremely refreshing. Our waitress (I think her name was Meghan, if so I hope I spelled it correctly) was really friendly and outgoing. Definitely going back without a doubt. Probably a place I will visit weekly now.

- Three stars because of great location across from the Poughkeepsie Galleria. It must be difficult to get good help because I had to wait 15 minutes for toasted English muffin. Fortunately my companion ordered a more expensive item because our order didn't amount to Dutchess Diner's minimum price.

I asked for French toast on whole wheat bread. They wouldn’t even make it. I just found that odd. My wife’s food was basic and not cooked well. The waitress was fine. The prices are very high for how old and outdated the diner is. Won’t ever go back.

Quesidillas were good very tasty so was the chicken soup. Not so much the matzo soup very bland. Our waiter was very friendly and honest. Ask for Santiago very nice guy. ?

Service is great as usual. Although the quality of food seems to have declined in the last few years. Used to be a regular but the lackluster taste and the rising cost of life these days has me searching elsewhere.

We love the Dutchess Diner it's the only one in the area I will go to given the choice. It's clean. The food is great and FRESH. Very sweet family owned place. ❤

The French Toast was excellent. The pancakes were too heavy and dry for my liking. The Texas Fries were not more than the sum of it's parts. A little disappointing, but overall OK.

Subpar in terms of Diners. The food was OK, nothing wrong with it but just not very flavorful. I doubt I'll ever be back and would try another restaurant in the area instead.

Definitely a traditional diner from the exterior and interior. Lots of options on their menu. I had a soup and it was delicious. Their jambalaya was nice and my wife enjoyed her patty melt and the good amount of fries for the side. We both really enjoyed the apple pie with ice cream and whip cream.
