Dutchess BBQ - Restaurant in Poughkeepsie - 1820 New Hackensack Rd #10, USA

So on my adventure of trying new places I came across this place to share with all, so let's start off with we ordered the ultimate sampler that had some wings and shrimp as well as ribs it wasn't bad I asked for the wing flavor to be garlic parm but was more like a Italian dressing but wasn't to bad, then I ordered there brisket when I got the mashed potato they where piping hot like they came out the microwave but where not to bad as I went to try the brisket and it was terrible it was old so I asked the waitress how old it was and was told that they made it the night before but was frozen and as you can see in picture this was older then the night before I go to other places and when the brisket comes out it pink with a nice smoke ring, on the other plate we got there pulled pork and the same it did not taste good at all and seemed to be old as well, if you look at the pictures you can see how they looked, I probably will not come here agin.

I have been there twice and had a delicious meal each time. I had the Oxtails for dinner. I had the Shrimp and Grits for lunch the next day. Both were delicious. Staff was attentive and courteous. My only complaint would be staff inability to work the QuickDraw machine because the manager/owner won't let them. Take the QuickDraw sign down if it is not readily available.

Such a great dinner!! Pulled pork, bbq chicken, corn fritters, mac & cheese, beans & fries, everything was just delicious!! And huge portions!! Why are people waiting at other local chain restaurants when they'll get a much better meal here!!

Dutchess BBQ have amazing food. Period. The service is awesome. Go get some. It's really good. The environment is Comfortable friendly good. As you step through the door you enter the dining room which is separated, one side have tables on both sides of the aisle, The other side have tables on one side and a bar on the other. 5 stars for Dutchess BBQ.

We placed a to go order for our family of 4, and was not impressed. Prices were typical for a bbq place (roughly $90 with tip). I am particular about food and bbq in particular, and got nervous when the person we ordered from could not tell me if the sauce was tomato or vinegar based and the visit went downhill from there. The service was fine. The brisket (reminiscent of arbys roast beef in flavor) and pulled pork sandwiches both went unfinished, the rack of ribs as noted elsewhere are served cut apart and did not seem to be recently made. There is literally zero smoke to any of the food and the sauce noted earlier is sweet and unremarkable. The side dishes were fine, the baked beans were the highlight of the meal and were a solid 3 of 5 stars, but the only thing that was actually finished were the 2 small sides of coleslaw (I don’t eat mayo so cannot directly comment on it.) Overall we were very disappointed.

The staff are very friendly. The Potatoe Salad is GREAT. I I've the food it was GREAT as well definitely would recommend this restaurant to alot of people :) I'll definitely come again, so worth coming again.

Food is amazing and atmosphere is good. Definitely go and check it out. Had the Southern fried pork chops and super amazing. Save the date for Feb. 4th 2023 SEEING RED Band will be playing.

The service was great and the regular Mac and cheese was very tasty, however the ríbs needed to be slathered with barbeque sauce and they were not. As a result, I could not give a 5 star rating because without the sauce ribs were a little dry.
