Andy's is close to the main gate of the US Military Academy at West Point and is a favorite of many of the cadets and staff. We went in for a late breakfast/early lunch and soaked up the atmosphere. The service was good and the food satisfied all at the table. I love places like this and seek them out everywhere I go.

The village pub where you can wash away the dust of everyday life and enjoy great pub fare.

Doug's Pub is a lot more than just "pretty good." As a matter of fact, it's great! He offers a great selection of beers (8 on tap--pilsener, pale ales, IPAs) and your standard bottled beers (Bud, Coors, etc), an extensive selection of Kentucky, local and western bourbons, single malt scotches, seven types of Tequilas, Irish and "just plain old whiskey" (quotation marks mine). The burgers and French fries are super. You have a choice of eight different types of burgers (I had the Breakfast Burger--half pound of juicy fresh ground beef w/bacon and sunny-side up fried egg on toasted English muffin, with golden brown French fries!--WOW!) If you don't want a burger, there are eight other menu items to choose from--BLTs to hot dogs to chicken wings to shrimp and red cabbage tacos. Something for everyone!Diner's in Doug's Pub enjoy a comfortable and friendly atmosphere--authentic pub ambience. Amber, the Day Manager, does an excellent job ensuring that all of the diners' appetites and thirsts are satisfied.I highly recommend Doug's Pretty Good Pub because of the excellent choice of beers, large, tasty and satisfying burgers and French fries, excellent service, and true pub ambience.It doesn't get much better than Doug's!

Good snack foods/meals here but also expert bar tending. They actually carry Lagavulin scotch whiskey and the bartender immediately offered a palate cleansing tonic water to ensure a good experience - a true professional. The bar staff were also very helpful in serving our larger group with several bottles of wine and beer on the mezzanine where we had an informal pizza party. Can be very busy and fills up quickly.Thank you for taking the time to write a review. I have shared your words with our Director of Food & Beverage so that he may share your compliments with the team! We look forward to hosting you again in the future.

The restaurant is near the public parking area. As it was raining, we decided to eat here. The focaccia is excellent (we asked for seconds). The tuna poke appetizer with mango and avocado was good, too. The swordfish was cooked perfectly and the seafood stew was delicious. Our French rose was dry and crisp. Service was excellent.

Four of us had a late-summer lunch on the terrace overlooking the river. The place was mostly empty. Great views out over the river, but the food was only passable and the service by our waiter âLarryâ was particularly indifferent. Our food seemed to take a long time to come and then one of us noticed that the entire order was sitting on a tray at the other end of the terrace â for how long? We waited another 5 minutes for Larry to appear and then just got up and retrieved it ourselves. We were well into the meal before Larry appeared and made a perfunctory apology. I had ordered a cup of coffee and was hoping for a refill, but Larry never offered and by the time he showed up again we were more oriented to leaving. The place is obviously just trading on its location.Thank you for taking time to write a review. We pride ourselves on giving a five-star experience to our guests, and weâre sorry to hear we did not meet your expectations here at the Historic Thayer Hotel at West Point. I have shared your comments with our Director of Food & Beverage so that he may retrain his team appropriately.

Great spot for lunch; we sat outside 3 of the 4 times we dined here over the last two months. Popovers are delicious; lobster bisque was excellent; double burger was huge; spinach ravioli was very good; we really enjoyed the crab cakes; chocolate pecan pie was a great way to end the meal. We had brunch 3 times; the belinis should be included with the brunch price.Service was excellent each time. Servers were always accommodated each request with a smile.Great place to have lunch while viewing the spectacular view of the Hudson River.

You can't go wrong when you have a choice of breakfast or lunch at midday, and Hudson Hil's offers that. I had Beef Hash and eggs over easy, perfectly prepared (although needing a bit of hot sauce to spice up the hash); daughter enjoyed Eggs Creole, while spouse had a Reuben sandwich (huge, with lots of fresh made potato chips). The food was all quite tasty, well presented, the service was attentive, and the place absolutely charming with a small-town feel even as it clearly caters to a weekender crowd. A great midday spot in a lovely little river town. Worth a stop.
