Farmers and Chefs - Poughkeepsie, New York

Have been to Farmers and Chefs a few times. One time there was a nice, live band. The views off the deck are always beautiful.

The food is good. I was most impressed by the burgundy escargot appetizer. Last time I went I chose the hot honey chicken sandwich. It was decent.

I look forward to keeping Farmers and Chefs on my list of restaurants to patronize in the Poughkeepsie area.

Absolutely exquisite dinner. I've been here once when I was vegetarian and again now that I am not. Unique flavors all throughout the menu and one of the best burgers in the city. My most recent time going I had one of the specials that was absolutely delicious. Whether its a new dietary endeavor or sticking with old classics, I greatly recommend this restaurant! The atmosphere is classy and cozy with a nice bar in the middle of the place and a lounging area. The outside deck is relaxing in the spring/summer months. The drinks are mixed well and definitely have their own great flavor as well. The waitresses there are wonderful and attentive and willing to help with anything if they can. Stunning experience, one of the golden stars of Poughkeepsie, worth the price.

We had a really great dinner right in our neighborhood. The food is always so fresh and great. The chicken melts in your mouth with incredible mashed potatoes and gravy. I had the duck special, and it was cooked so perfectly. We enjoyed the mushroom appetizer and our dessert drinks 🍸 The service was perfect, very friendly, and knowledgeable of all the food specials

Had my daughter’s bridal shower here. Traci the event coordinator was such a pleasure to work with and so accommodating. The food was excellent and the staff were so helpful. I highly recommend them for a private event.

Soo, I order lions manes mushroom tacos from their food truck location in Fishkill Farms. I was surprised when I got my food and not a single lions mane to be found. Instead, I found this unidentified mushroom with a stipe and gills. Not cool to be flase advertising like this. This is as if I ordered pork tacos and got chicken. Do better

The food was super yummy. I had the scallops with risotto. But because I was out with my family I was able to taste the roasted chicken, the oysters, and the bowl. We also had the creme brûlée and the chocolate lava cake. Everything was fresh, seasoned well, and the service was on point as well. I will definitely be returning

My family and I absolutely loved Farmers and Chefs. Our waitress, Jessica, was absolutely the best ever. Every dish was perfectly cooked, had amazing flavor, and had great presentation. The brown ale was very tasty, as well as the rosé. The portion sizes were perfect for the price, especially with the scallops and risotto; five huge diver scallops - perfectly cooked and seasoned - on a voluptuous bed of tarragon risotto. Our appetizer, the crab cakes, was immenseful flavorful and the wasabi sauce complimented the dish beautifully. This is definitely a pricier restaurant overall but you absolutely get what you pay for.

This place is what I consider extremely expensive for nothing special. I had an $18 hamburger that I kind of expected would be a 'gourmet hamburger' if one can use that phrase in the same sentence as 'hamburger'. It was not gourmet. Nothing was wrong with it, but nothing was even remotely special about it. Their menu consists of other 'fancy' dishes with high prices to match. Their other food may be better, but regarding the hamburger, I've had much, much, better for a similar if not cheaper price. I also have to add that you should definitely not sit outside. There isn't much of a view and route 9 is about 100 feet away. No matter how nice the day, sit inside and avoid the constant road noise of the cars racing by. Sorry, can't recommend this place.
