The Foxhole Deli in Poughkeepsie, New York Reopens for Service

Living in Poughkeepsie, there are many references to foxes throughout a number of local businesses, mainly because of Marist College Red Foxes. The Foxhole Deli, however, derives its name from military tactics.

Merriam-Webster defines "foxhole" as "a pit dug usually hastily for individual cover from enemy fire." The term rose in popularity towards the end of World War I. Though trenches and in-ground fortifications have been prominent throughout military history, the first recorded use of the term "foxhole" was in a US army report from 1918 describing German soldiers building "a hole in the ground sufficient to give shelter...to one or two soldiers."

In a way, you can see Foxhole Deli as a shelter for members of the community. The Foxhole Deli has been serving Poughkeepsie since early 2022. They know that it's tough to get out of the office for a long lunch, so they make it their mission to get you quality food, fast.

Casual shouldn't mean stale food options. Great taste is the name of the game, and they're committed to stepping up to the plate. Foxhole Deli is dedicated to providing fresh options for their customers. They offer sit-in dining and take-out, plus they have free Wi-Fi!
