Schatzi’s makes every trip to Poughkeepsie worth it. The staff is very friendly and the food was delicious as always. The only knocks I would have was wait time and temperature inside the restaurant. Our meal took over half an hour but it was definitely worth the wait. It was also really cold which wasn’t great.

We came in around 5pm on a weekday and sat outside. For only a handful of tables, the service was a little slow, the waiter took our appetizer order and walked away, then felt like he was trying not to make eye contact so I had to loudly call him over to order the rest of our food.
For appetizers, we got the cheese pierogies and the frickles. The pierogies were tasty but had a lot of oil on them and the frickles had a thick batter that I wasn’t expecting and didn’t like. We didn’t finish them. I would try a different appetizer next time instead of either of these.
I like reuben sandwiches and LOVED this twist of the meat being cubed, not sliced. It made it much more tender. I would come back just for this sandwich. The cheddar bratwurst was also good, and we liked the parm fries better than the regular, though both were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

Called and placed a to-go order, mind you on Valentine’s Day when most places are turning away to go orders completely. Very accommodating and friendly. Orders the Sauerbraten meatballs with cheesey spaetzle. Asked for Jaeger sauce instead of the Sauerbraten gravy, just a personal preference, and there was no hesitation on their end to make the substitution. The meatballs were tender and some of the best I’ve ever had. Also ordered the cheddar broccoli pierogi and the The Other Guy Burger for the family and everything was delicious. Would absolutely recommend to anyone.

Great place – highly recommend going for all of the beer on draft and amazing bar staff Jenny and the other main girl are just amazing people to get a drink from !
Food is not the greatest but it’s a bar – you also can meet a lot of random locals from
The area which is very nice !

Schatzi’s offers a nice draft list of some good beer, good sized portions, and friendly staff. We got seats at the bar and had good service the entire time. We were given the wrong specials menu which was disappointing because one of the specials sounded perfect for me but I got the Schatzi’s burger instead and it was a bit dry. Slightly overdone and not enough of their sauce, I think the potato pancake on top absorbs it and left the rest of the burger dry. Great sized meal though. My wife got the fried chicken sandwich and it was pretty good. We would stop again and see what’s new next time we are in Poughkeepsie.

Wife got the chicken sandwich and it was dry, like chewing leather. My sausage was good. Service was also really bad, granted we were a party of 10, wrong and mixed orders. It also took forever to order. We also got a visit from the local raccoon, kinda cool but prob not safe. One positive, they had Vermont beers on draft.

The food was great, ordered the pork schnitzel, DU CLAW- Unicorn Stout, decent price for the food and drink. It is about $10 for the Stout and $14 for the winter special drink. The staff were so friendly. Definitely will try something else next time.

TL;DR: Good food fast. Craft beers. Good service. Seasonal outdoor seating.
My companions and I had just walked the local trail between the two bridges and were looking for a place with bar foods and a decent drink selection. This place is easy to miss, as it’s in the middle of a row of small businesses.
The storefront is dark and at first glance I though they were closed. Upon entering there’s the standard bar area and behind that there’s a surprising amount of seating. There’s a single restroom, so if it’s game day and you’ve got a tiny bladder, good luck to you.
I ordered the sweet chili chicken wings which came with celery, carrots, and ranch sauce. My companions ordered sandwiches, both of which received positive reviews. The one downside was the cheese curds. They were bland and could’ve used a saltier, richer flavor. The curds became inedible once they reached room temperature. Hopefully a few minutes in the home air fryer will resurrect them.
Service was prompt, friendly, and attentive. Prices were reasonable.

Very friendly service. It has some authentic German dishes and some American ones as well.

Schatzi’s is rock solid. Food and drinks are always good, and while QR code menus aren’t usually my favorite they have the beer menu on Untappd, which provides super helpful details for deciding what to drink! My husband swears they have the best burger in town. The back patio is gorgeous in summer and the staff are laid back but attentive. If you want beers and tasty food on sunny afternoon this is your place.
