Beast

Place is beautiful with metal vibes, very welcoming and warm. Lovely bar, food and all bbq meat were extremely good, I m not into meat but here everything is delicious. We had Cobb salad a, chicken filet, bbq ribs curly fries 🔥

Everything you want in a whiskey bar and then some. What's to say, warm wooden interior gets the whiskey vibe going. Pin-up vintage style posters rock the walls. Weekly specials that are great. Normally I'd recommend a dish but I recommend them all. I've never been disappointed here.

We were in new York for pleasure and decided to go out. We found Beast wow!!! Loved the place my wife got the pulled pork sandwich and I got the smoked Peruvian chicken. We both loved our choices. In addition to the great food the Beast restaurant offers a great selection of bourbons. Highly recommend this place.

First of all, if you do not want to eat and drink with heavy metal music BLASTING, do not go here. It's obnoxiously loud. Conversation was next to impossible. What are they thinking? It was 5pm on a Thursday SMH! Anyway, we decided to start with the ribs. People have told us that they're really good there. They were the driest toughest ribs that we've ever had. The bartender was on her phone at the other end of the bar and never once looked over or heaven forbid actually walked over to see how we were doing. I was hoping to ask for a steak knife to try and hack these ribs up, but nope, she never came back. We did not bother trying to order any other food or drinks. We just finished our drinks, got the check and got out of there. We walked across the street and had a great meal at the bar with friendly, attentive service.

Love Beast! The staff is so kind and accommodating. The food is so tasty and addictive. Love everything we’ve ever tried there and always look forward to returning ASAP! Cheers Beast!

Went to check out this new BBQ place in Fishkill. Definitely worth the ride from Brooklyn. I travel a lot and this was some of the best brisket I’ve ever had. Staff was amazing and the coffee drinks were to die for. And they have the fluffiest waffles! Can’t wait to come back and try even more things on the menu.

Went apple picking and a worker recommended us to eat there. Was blown away by the food and service. I was expecting bar food, I ordered the half Peruvian chicken and was absolutely impressed. Tender Smokey chicken and the ribs were best I’ve ever had. Will be eating there every time I’m in the area. Service was excellent very friendly

First time visit! Great little place. My server Morgan was attentive and friendly. They have over 300 types of bourbons and a Bourbon Bible which is amazing (went with Macallan). I had the bao buns (no chiles), which were delicious. The vibe was really nice, the place was buzzing but not overly loud or anything, especially for being a smaller space. There are several seats at the bar and a decent amount of tables. I took the pork belly sandwich (no carrots or chiles) and curly fries to go to share with a friend. It was actually really good. I'm not sure what category of food to put this place in because there are Vietnamese dishes, BBQ, burgers, and Spanish food; it's a nice mix. I would recommend trying it out.

Always amazing food and great service. One of our favorite spots in the Hudson Valley.

We stopped in for their late night happy hour after eating at Dutchess Biercafe. At 9 it was still really busy outside but quiet inside. It's a small space, but it's cozy. They had ductless a/c units on the wall, but I'm not sure they were running because it was still quite hot inside. Our server was quick to tend to us and very friendly. They have a great tap list, much like Dutchess, only theirs is lager-centric rather than Belgian. Exactly what you want with some BBQ. You can't beat the 50% off price tag at happy hour either. We also decided to share some of the crispy ribs. The rib was cooked perfectly. Perfectly tender, but still holding its shape. The gochujang glaze was a little sweet and funky, and complimented the crispy texture. We'll definitely be visiting again to sample more food and drinks in the future!

Generous portions of food Great/large selection of beers on tap as well as extensive liquor choices 8 pm to 10 pm Happy Hour! Service was good and owner was present and chatting with customers

I slept on this place for a long time, but today we were driving by and hungry so we stopped in. Super cool vibes and extra friendly staff made my 1st impression very positive. Plenty of room to sit at the bar or at a table - we sat at the bar. Bartender carried the good attitude and was on point when giving the specials. We both ordered drinks - myself an Old Fashioned and my date a margarita. Both drinks were REALLY good. That bartender definitely puts the love in. The food was out super quick- we both got the pastrami sandwich. The sandwich fell out of heaven and on to my plate! The pastrami was extremely tender with a hint of smoke - the bark on it was perfect. The kraut and sauce on it was the perfect combination for a masterpiece of a sammie. One may think $20 may be a bit on the high side for a sandwich, but it was HUGE and half came home, so no regrets! All in all this place ROCKS and I can't wait to go back to try some other menu items...

Fantastic food and extremely generous portions. The servers are really great and make the dining experience enjoyable. A bit on the noisy side when it's crowded but you can still have a conversation. My go to option when I don't feel like cooking. Would highly recommend this place

Was super pleasantly surprised by Beast. 3 of us searched for a place for late brunch on Sunday after morning apple picking at nearby fishkill farms. We promptly grabbed a table outside , and were convinced to try brisket and pulled pork. I opted for loaded pulled pork nachos topped with eggs sunny side up. My friends both got brisket sandwiches. We started with an order of crispy chicken wings with gochuchang . Everything came out fast, piping hot , and most importantly full of flavor ! We were so surprised because everything was $15/16 each which was super reasonable for the quality of the food. Highly recommend!!

Service never disappoints. Tried some new drinks and they all were great. The Fishkill Vice was more my favorite, it's more on the sweeter side but that la how I like my drinks. The Feral Fries were crunchy with the sauce was tangy, a great combo for the taste buds. The sandwiches were superb. It was packed but glad we were able to dine, awesome music, appreciate how easy going it feels being there.

Went with my family for a Friday lunch, we really enjoyed the ambiance and the food - feral fries and brisket sandwich were great, we also tried the smash burger and fries that was the lunch special. Friendly service, good beer, recommended!

I'm really surprised that the place received such good reviews. The food was BLAND. I ordered the brisket absolutely no taste. The beans abd the rice no taste. I would not go back or recommend anyone else to go. I refused to go boxes because I knew I couldn't reheat and eat.

Got home from eating at Beast and wondered for a brief moment if I should turn around and go back -- it was THAT GOOD. I had the chicken wings, which were probably the best I've ever had. They had a nice assortment of sauces, but for me, the best was their "special sauce." (Although the buffalo sauce was also excellent and packed a lovely punch). I got the wings with the dry rub, although you have other options if you want a different flavor. There's a special on wings Wednesday nights, so I'm thinking I'll be there weekly... Because I remembered I should probably eat some vegetables, I had a side salad with green goddess dressing. Fresh salad and the dressing was excellent. My partner got the chicken sandwich, which also had the special sauce I used on my wings. She said it was "out of this world" (part of that may have been influenced by the curly fries she had on the side). Regardless, there was nothing left on either of our plates by the time we left. The place is small, so on a Saturday night we ended up sitting at the bar --which was actually kind of neat. It meant we got to talk with some of the servers, who were all super nice and helpful. Can't wait to go back!

Love it here, food is great and we can bring the baby dog with us. The food doesn't disappoint. Ice cream for dessert is also nearby. BBQ it's only during certain days of the week.

First time here, and super impressed. Local business owners who opened up another spot in Fishkill. Ambiance is warm and welcoming. Very cute interior with a large bar and plenty of tables. We sat at the bar and the service was great. Very attentive and helpful. Our bartender told us happy hour was ending soon so we were able to take advantage of that. Very helpful. Food was great. Menu has a lot of variety. This is a pretty "meaty" place, just so folks are aware. We had the nachos and tacos - both very well seasoned and delicious. I would highly recommend this spot. I will definitely be back!

This place was so so good!! Our waitress was so sweet and accommodating. The staff went above and beyond to make our first visit special. We had the mimosas, Weistephaner Hefeweizen on tap!!, and a Bellini. Ordered the brisket omelet - it was in need of sauce or something as it was a little dry. Strawberry waffle and bacon were delicious. I ordered the waffle smokehouse. It was the best!! I couldn't eat it fast enough to keep those flavors going! Loved it.

Very disappointed in the food and the service. The beer served was room temperature, at most, and not cold at all. Ordered a "seltzer" and found out it was really a "juice" with a very high sugar content. The wings we ordered (6 dry rubbed and 6 Alabama white sauce), were overcooked and very dry and the Alabama sauce was really aioli, not Alabama sauce at all. Then we tried a brisket and cheese sandwich and the brisket was like sawdust. completely dried out and black. Absolutely terrible and we were amazed they even served it. Lastly, the service was extremely slow. We tried this place once, but would never go back. The only good thing was the water!

First time here for brunch... Great food, friendly servers, awesome staff... one of the best bbq places I've been to. Definitely recommend this place

Was in Fishkill for a health care rally and looking for a place to eat. Googled best places to eat, and Beast was #2. It's wrong. Should be #1 all the way. Atmosphere, employees, food, and drink this place has it, and it's all good. The Brisket sandwich was so mouthwatering good, and I didn't want to make a pig of myself , I ate half and had the other for breakfast the next day because I couldn't wait for lunch. Will definitely be back when I'm in the area.

$20 unlimited mimosas! Should I say more lol. Brunch is a great time to stop in. Their smoked brisket in my smokehouse sandwich was amazing.

My husband and I had dinner at Beast and liked it very much. I had the nachos (with pork) and thought they were great. The atmosphere is fun and the service was great. I'd go back.

Yes! Food is great, service is above and beyond, our lovely waitress Jen was professional with a great smile. She explained all the dishes and even suggested the Brisket sandwich on a bun with curly fries, eventhough it was not in the menu! It was a killer! I had the Chopped brisket, Queso, barbecue sauce on a yummy Texas toast, served with delicious curly fries. We shared a Lava cake with Ice cream. It is a very small sitting area, a big bar! Soon we will be able to seat outside and enjoy a great meal Al fresco. Prices are good too. Try The Beast, you'll like it.

10/10 meal. No notes. Service is great, food is outstanding. They are not lying when they say seating is "limited" however the experience is well worth the wait. Their mac n' cheese is absolute heaven. The brisket is perfect. The beer selection is extensive. Definitely the best meal I've had in the area.

We decided to try someplace we hadn't been to yet. We had heard good things about this place. It's conveniently located in the village of Fishkill. The service is friendly. We started with the crispy smoked wings which were pretty good. Then we had the beast potter which is more than enough or four people to share. Then we had the beignet for dessert which was just alright. Overall it was a pretty good dining experience and I'd recommend this place.

This is our first time coming to The Beast since opening. We love the Dutchess Bier Cafe, so we have high expectations for this place since they shared the same owner. It's walking distance from DBC and in an old town hall building. The inside is smaller than how it seems from the outside, but offers plenty of seating. Large bar with very comfortable seats which takes up half of the space, the other half are for sit-down dining. They will have more seating outdoors when the weather is warmer. We came here on a Saturday for a late lunch as party of 4. We sat at the bar for a round of drinks while waiting for a table. The bartender was very sweet and welcoming and they had a nice selection of draft beer on tap. Not as many as DBC, but still plenty to keep you happy. DBC only serves beer and wine, but here they offer a full bar for mixed drinks/cocktail. We did not have one but the drink menu looks nice and we will next time! For food, they were offering their brunch menu which had plenty of yummy stuff to choose from. The menu is BBQ based; We ordered the brisket omelette, brisket sandwich, and BLT. I really enjoyed my omelette, it was topped with a creamy sauce which made the omelette even more scrumptious. Every one of us cleaned our plate, so I would say that's a win! Laid back atmosphere, welcoming viv, I highly recommend it!

Service was great. Awesome specials on Thursday including $10 miller pitcher. The Bao Bun-- Amazing. The Beast dry rub wings, so so good. Also had the sausage and peppers classic sandwich which was exactly that...classic. Looking forward to going back!

This a tremendous hidden gem - quaint & welcoming, delicious & fairly priced food items, and friendly, professional service. In addition to a wide variety of top shelf liquors & tasty craft beer offerings, there are also some optional Cannabis (as well as CBD) drinks available. Very nice & simple local place which I'll surely revisit.

Stopped in for a quick burger. The burger was fresh, moist and tasty ensconced in a potato bun. The Czech beer was reminiscent of Prague. So light refreshing and absolutely delicious. Service was friendly and welcoming. Ambience was typical bar, dark and cozy.

Absolutely great and pleasant restaurant! My family and I went towards the end of the night near closing but the staff treated us kindly and didn't rush us at all. Our waitress was extremely friendly and the food was delicious, we got too many dishes to count. We sat outside, and the area was clean, silverware shiny. Great experience all in all 10/10

So bad! Grease. Great. Grease. The Smashburger was gross. The salad was bad. I mean, how do you make a bad salad? Greasy, re-heated French fries. No ambiance. They need a new decorator. Hard pass on this place.

The ribs were incredible! Everything was delicious and very flavorful. I don't know what was on the ribs but it was out of this world!!!

I stopped at Beast last weekend on Saturday. I loved everything that we tried Bao Buns, wings with the habanero sauce, and the pork belly banh mi. All were delicious!! They offer mainly European Beers, which it not typically what I would gravitate towards but I had a refreshing lager. While at the bar one of the bartenders was raving about their Sunday Brunch so I returned the next day for Brunch! The mimosas are a good size so that's a win! I had the Banana Fosters Pancakes which were huge and delicious. I think the bananas could have been cooked a bit more but aside from that everyone in my group was happy with their food. Service was great both times. I will definitely return again!

First time visiting. Stopped in for a beer. Place was packed! Only 1 open seat at the bar with standing room. Beer selection is unique, not the usual... we had the Dunkle, it was very good! (Pictured in photo.) Staff was very nice. Looking forward to returning for the BBQ and also to enjoy the outside patio space in the warmer months. (Seats about 22 in the dining area and about 12 at the bar.) Cheers!

Staff was amazing. Extremely helpful with my allergy restrictions!! Music and atmosphere would make you go back and let's not forget to mention the food!! Definitely going back and recommending it to everyone!

Great food! Wonderful staff! Absolute grateful that we had family dinner there The music was on point and it was such a nice cozy spot! You can eat indoors or outdoors and in either area, the atmosphere was just great!

Service was great. Very attentive and wonderful sense of humor. Food was fantastic. Had two appetizers wings and boa sandwich amazing. Beware of the ghost pepper sauce very good. And the endless bourbon whiskey and tequila list. Having a bourbon tasting flight would be a great addition to sample the many selections.

Very nice, friendly service. The food was okay. Maybe a solid "C" if I were to use a traditional grading system. I hold to the Texas tradition that customers should be offered lean or marbly (flat vs. point) for brisket. Beast did not offer this and I was served only the fattier cut. Moreover, the meat had a hefty "bark" but there was very little smoke flavor. The menu mentions hickory (which is a stronger flavored wood) but I didn't taste it at all. (?) Like most BBQ restaurants in the Northeast (with only a handful of notable exceptions) this restaurant wouldn't pass muster with diehard 'cue fans. Nonetheless, this restaurant's vibe was relaxed and welcoming and the bar featured an exceptional array of brown liquors. Overall, Beast is a lovely, cozy joint for drinks with friends or a cocktail on a date night. They are relatively new and I wish them great success.

The DBC owners do it again! We finally made it to the Beast and the experience was wonderful from top to bottom. They continue to deeply care about great service and creative and delicious food. Everything on the menu looked so good so we got the platter to split - it says for 3-4 people but it's def for the latter end. There were 3 of us who went with an appetite and we still took at least 2 servings home with us. We were also pleasantly surprised to learn it was happy hour when we arrived (3-5pm at bar and tables) so we got to enjoy 1/2 price house cocktails which are delicious. The beer selection is up there with the best also. The music and decor is witty (Walkens Welcome-legendary) and fun also. Love this place- cannot wait to be back to try the brunch now!!

The food here was delicious. We had the Beast platter, 1/2 lb brisket, 1/2 lb pulled pork, 6 wings, 1/2 rack of some kind of delicious Korean ribs, 3 different sausages and ghost pepper tacos on the side. Don't be afraid of the ghost pepper dishes. The chef here knows how to add the heat and not over do it. IMO, anyone giving a bad review, just doesn't appreciate smoked BBQ.

Went to the Beast recently with my wife, son and daughter in law . This was our first time there. Three of us got smoked brisket on a roll with curly fries and one had the pulled pork on a roll. also with fries. We all had specialty drinks. The food was a good B+ and the drinks were an A. The server was nice but the service was slow. The interior was ok but small, not many tables. Prices are average..... i would recommend the Beast and I am planning on going back.

Delicious! Excellent barbecue, and some of the best smoked baked beans I've ever had. Loved the curly fries, too, and the vibes--chill, great music, and good service. Will definitely be back.

Food was delicious. I had the gyro with a side of kimchi slaw. Soo good, can't wait to come back

Great place! But a little small The food & portions were awesome the crowd was lively and upbeat the service was great. Only complaints - the place was kind of chilly it needs some heat. Also in the restroom was a laughably tiny garbage container. During our dinner I noticed some beautiful looking people so it's a great hot spot in my opinion. I noticed the servers saying "of course" to our every request.

Great vibe, awesome beer selection, average BBQ. The brisket gyro sounded unique, however the flavors just did not go together. The tzatziki was a thick consistency with a predominately Greek yogurt-forward flavor rather than a creamy blended tzatziki of cucumber, garlic and dill that I am familiar with. The smoked wings didn't quite have the smokiness I imagined. Blue cheese however was awesome!

Inventive, interpretation of southern BBQ. If you go for the "meals" expect to take food home. Sandwiches are more reasonably priced. Food is good - creative. Place is small so make reservations if you are a large party (5+). It's got a huge bar for the solo eaters and cocktails set. Good news is it's walking distance from 4 other restaurants of similar status so you can definitely get dinner in that part of town.

Excellent service, not so good food. We had heard about this place from the radio when a couple dj's were discussing it on air. It sounded good and thought we'd give it a try. Outside was nearly full so we sat inside where it was pretty empty. Our server was fantastic. She had a great energy, was funny, and quick to get us anything needed. Unfortunately the food was just not good. We tried the brisket sandwich and half the brisket served was so burnt it couldn't be chewed or even cut with a knife. The kitchen replaced it but still failed with a chewy (but at least chewable) bland replacement. Tried the pulled pork sandwich. It too was a massive failure. It's a giant pile of pulled pork so dry it literally keeps the shape of the container it was dumped out of! Then it's topped with a dribble of bbq sauce and the world's driest, saltiest kimchi which in itself is a weirdly bad combination. The result is dry and salty leaving your mouth feel like a desert. I felt bad there was so much food left so I got a take out container but then realized no one in the house would eat it, so literally threw it in the trash as soon as we got home. The pork dish wasn't the only mixed up creation we tried . We ordered several other items, all flawed conceptually and in flavor but I don't want to drag this review out any longer. Trust me, skip this place.

We were looking for a new brunch spot and since my boyfriend and I were off this Sunday we headed to Beast. The menu was limited but it had poached eggs with hollandaise sauce so that sold us. We walked in and took a seat at the bar, not one person acknowledged us. We actually joked that maybe we were invisible! Finally the bartender said hi and we ordered drinks. Ordered food but then was told they ran out of hollandaise... it was 1pm. The hours are 10 to 3 on Sundays.... how can you "run" out of something..how about make some more?? We ended up picking something else but probably should have left. The sausage gravy...no sausage. The biscuit...hard. The poached eggs were perfect but at that point it didn't matter. The pork sandwich was huge but the slaw needed to be chopped more. Overall we wouldn't go back, not worth it. Hopefully they work out the kinks and not rum out of items during a 5 hour brunch.

The worst thing a good bar can do is measure shots. Glass of wine was 5 ounces in a small glass for $10 and mixed drinks are 1 ounce in a tall glass. The place had a nice atmosphere, very clean, and staff was friendly. Menu is OK if you like barbecue, ruebens and beef brisket. not much else to choose from. I would highly recommend they stop measuring shots and give a decent drink. And if you're going to serve inexpensive wine, at least give a decent glass.

The food is next level good here. The Peruvian chicken is amazing. We went for brunch yesterday and ordered the BLT, smokehouse and pancakes. My whole family enjoyed every bite. The chicken wings are also the best chicken wings in town. We adore the staff and owners. Everyone is friendly and kind. It's small but has very cool vibe.

Delicious food! Everything was great, service was great (not that we expected anything less we are super fans of dutchess biercafé) We loved the corn bread too. Id love to come back in the summer for outdoor dining!

First time at Beast tonight. What a wonderful place!!! Great food, kind and attentive staff and great drinks!!! Everything was delicious and can't wait to go back again!! Thank you for an amazing and relaxing dinner!!

We decided to eat inside because it was humid and in the 90s that evening, but when we got inside the A/C was almost nonexistent and the air quite stuffy, the staff were all working up a sweat. The table area was small and crowded, but it was clean and modern. It took awhile to get our drinks, but unfortunately they didn't have any unsweetened iced tea. The appetizer was a tall pile of nachos in a small tray with refried beans and brisket, delicious but really messy. The Texas style brisket dinner was tender, juicy and delicious, but the Mac and cheese that came with it was starchy. The cappuccinos were served lukewarm, a disappointment. We never got the banana pudding that was ordered, we attributed it to the place being very noisy. The prices are decent and the portions generous. The one unisex bathroom was horrid, the floor was sticky and wet. The service is good, just a bit slow. We will go back, it will avoid hot days as well as not using the bathroom.
