Arrived on a Friday afternoon and quickly found parking across the street as their lot was full. Got seated right away and our waitress was very pleasant. I’m pretty sure I read the building was built in the 1600’s which is just incredible. You can just feel the history in there! We were there during lunch hours but the kitchen agreed to make us calamari from their dinner appetizer menu which was so kind. It was crispy and delicious. My husband had the French dip with sweet potato fries and said the sandwich was one of the best he’s had. I had the lamb sandwich which is such a unique offering I had to order it! Also delicious and cooked to a perfect medium rare. We would highly recommend it!

The other half and I stopped in after running an errand in Kingston. The food was pretty good for lunch fair, service was a little on the slow side. The drinks were standard. But the ambiance was fantastic. The decor and feel of a 1600’s inn was pretty cool. I would definitely go back and try another meal there.

The historic atmosphere gives it so much charm and character, like stepping into a beautifully preserved moment in time. The roast duckling was cooked to absolute perfection *chef’s kiss* tender, flavorful, and beautifully presented (mushrooms added to my taste). Paired it with a Rönig Dom Hudson beer, which completely lived up to the hype. Crisp, smooth, and just right for a relaxed, satisfying meal.
A special shoutout to our amazing server, Angel – so warm, patient, and truly attentive. He made the whole experience even more enjoyable by actively listening to our requests and making us feel completely taken care of.

@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.

As a small business owner myself I really hate to leave a bad review. My sincere motive is that the owners of this beautiful historic property will re-evaluate their entire operation. The current owners took over the ownership in March of 2020 as COVID was killing businesses. They have a ton of excellent 5 star reviews but I believe they are coasting on what the previous owners built. Our experience; we called late for a reservation. When we got there, on time there was no record of our reservation. They seated us anyway. We sat at our table and waited for our server. She finally came and we received our drinks 30 minutes later. Next we ordered our dinner but did not receive until an hour later. Yes it was Saturday night, they were busy but as many reviewers have noted; extremely slow service. Now for the food. The bread was excellent. My salad was good, my wife thought her salad dressing (house dressing) had no flavor. My wife had the garlic shrimp Florentine. Shrimp OK but sauce had no flavor. I had the Steak au Poivre. This is supposed to be a pepper corn encrusted steak with sautéed shallot garlic and brandy cream sauce. No hint of garlic, shallot or brandy. The steak was tough. We paid and left very disappointed. Ok, as I mentioned, I rarely leave a bad review. My sincere hope is that the owners will read this and fix their problems.

I had dinner at the Hoffman House today and was really disappointed from a gluten-free perspective. Despite being listed, they do not offer gluten-free pasta or gluten-free bread. I was told this after being seated, which left very few options. I ended up ordering a veggie burger with no bun, and unfortunately, it wasn’t good. This isn’t a place that truly caters to people who need gluten-free meals, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone relying on Find Me Gluten Free to locate safe or satisfying options.

Hoffman House could be a 5 star place simply because of the historical significance of the building, but the food was really good as well! The French onion soup was good. I got the crispy roast duck, which was delicious. My only dings was that only parts of the skin were crispy, and it would be nice to have a vegetable side in addition to the rice/potato side too.
My wife got the scallops marsala and that was also delicious, with a good portion of scallops and a tasty marsala sauce! We got the apple cobbler for desert and that too was really good!
The staff was friendly and welcoming. Service was a little slow especially given that there wasn’t a crowd when we got there for dinner, but we were in no rush. All in all a great meal.
Highly Recommended!!

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!

What a quaint place, a stone house from the 1600’s turned into a restaurant. The French onion soup was exceptional, I had the lamb sandwich my friend had the sliced steak, both excellent! Dessert was the finishing touch! I travelled down from the north my friend from the south, we grew up across the street from one another, and we had a nice time catching up!
