Dutchess Bbq - Poughkeepsie

Great live music ! I'm a huge fan of The Bubba Band ! Food is great and the service is excellent! I highly recommend this place !

We have ordered from here a few times and have always had a good experience. This time we ordered 8 meals to go and everything was ready as promised. The order was correct and everything tasted great! They have a great brisket and ribs, their BBQ sauce is terrific and the selection of sides is wonderful!

I went to this TGIF for family dinner on Thanksgiving night and the waiter (I forget his name was busy walking around serving customers but he still showed a positive attitude with a smile on his face. The food is good but DO NOT order a pina colada, it 's the worst drink we 've ever had. The waiter came over and asked how the pina colada was and we said Not good and he took it off the bills. :

I had BBQ chickens. I delivered him. It was still very hot when I got it. It was the best BBQ chicken I've ever tried. I can't wait.

I did not have a good experience here. My wife and I walked in and it was open mic night. That should have been my cue to turn around and walk back out. I understand that local musicians sometimes enjoy open mics, but I do not want to take part, and I certainly don 't want to hear amateur hour while trying to enjoy dinner. We decided to give it a shot anyway and the night didn 't get much better. Let 's start with appetizers... well, I would have liked to start with them, but our server forgot to put in the order, and when our food came out and I asked, she lied and said they were still cooking. Let 's move on to our entrées. My wife got the brisket sandwich with fries and she enjoyed her meal. I got the ribs with baked beans and onion rings. The menu did specify rings and I realize that 2 1/2 does qualify as plural, but not exactly what I was expecting. The baked beans were fine. The ribs were fairly dry and under sauced. I was given extra sauce, but there should have been a lot more cooked on to the ribs. If I wanted to dunk meat nuggets, I would have gone to McDonald 's. After we finished our meal, our appetizer wings finally arrived. (Dessert wings??? They were again a little dry, but not too bad. At that point, the house drummer had beaten my head into an ache that wasn 't going to go away so we left and went to Ready Coffee to wash the taste of bad BBQ out of our mouths.
