Hoffman House

b.overly_delicious @hoffmanhousetavern Kingston,NY: So i’m embarrassed to say, I’ve never been to the Hoffman House. Like ever! Some close friends of mine, finally dragged me in to experience the colonial pilgrim vibes of the original stockade. Checked the menu online and couldn’t believe the prices! Everyone in our group had the French onion soup. Below the gooey mozzarella (I believe) lies a deep bowl of black pepper and onion broth. Very good and very much pepper forward. So much so, you little get a chew of peppercorns in your mouth after each bite. I love black pepper so this was fine with me. Rueben and fries ($12), Bacon cheeseburger ($14), and the garlic steak sandwich ($13.5) all served with fries were properly portioned for the price. This must be the best deal in town! Absolute deliciousness! Garlic steak stacked with garlic butter dripping out of the roll and smeared with blue cheese. The standard battered fries were seasoned which I haven’t seen before (my favorite frozen variety). Waitress was extremely pleasant and accommodating. This place is like stepping back in time but not the 60s, 70, or even 50s. We are talking 1800-1700s. Felt like a real pilgrim.

Very cool historic house with beautiful creaking wood floors and staircase. Great ambiance, diverse drink and food menus, and excellent service. Each table had unique, modern lighting that doubled as a bluetooth speaker so you can dine to your own music. The French onion soup and roast duck were amazing. Would definitely dine here again. NOTE: Set aside enough time to dine here because we planned for about an hour and a half but we were there for two hours and had to skip dessert orders to get to our next destination. I would have loved to try their desserts, they sounded amazing!

Very quaint bar & restaurant built in the late 1600’s. The wide plank floors and exposed floor joists sure add a warmth of old charm to your meal. I was pleasantly surprised on their takes on custom sandwiches durning lunch time. I chose the grill lamb & onion sandwich which was perfect size to just fill yah up on a cold spring day.

Food was very tasty. My clam soup had sand it like every spoonful chopping down on sand/ clamshells tiny particles. My red wine was good , until I finished the glass it had some kind of particles in the bottom of the wine glass like sand. When I informed the head chef, he just walked away with his head down and never came back to the table.

We made a stop in along our journey into Kingston and saw this cool and old looking building that just so happened to be a tavern. The service was great and the food was delicious. Highly suggest opting for the French Onion soup as it was the perfect appetizer. I went for the Caesar Salad without croutons and was told the Fish and Chips was the best my lunch date ever had. We would come back through New York just to dine here again.
