    Cheese burger
    Wendy C.

    Love this place. The vibe, the food, the staff - delicious comfort food at great prices. I make sure to eat here every time I'm in New Paltz. PS - the French fries with cheese sauce alone is worth the trip. You will not be disappointed. Trust me.

    Sorry for the late photo. So good I couldn't stop eating to take a photo.

    Great place! Rock & Roll themed diner basically. Very good food, great offerings, friendly workers and owner. Quality made stuff. Oh yeah, great desserts too!

    Blondie salad
    Renee A.

    Very cool looking place, the ratings were good but it wasn't great for us. Staff was friendly. We got chicken and waffles, Blondie salad, and the B side hash and eggs. None of it was stellar. My hash while good flavor was very chewy. The chicken for the chicken and waffles were poor quality with lots of tendon pieces and fatty. The waffles must have been a sourdough type and we didn't know that. The salad was just a salad.

    Hotel California burger
    Caroline C.

    We had a solid experience at B-Side Grill. We were looking for a place to get burgers and they have a pretty extensive menu. I got the hotel California burger and my husband got the cheeseburger. My burger had a bit too much of the mayo so was heavy and the beef could have had more flavor but it served its purpose!

    The killer atmosphere of B-side
    Adam C.

    To the people of New Paltz, you shouldn't need to read this review. Because it's a given that this place is "the spot". The all day breakfast, the killer menu, it's deserved the cult-like following that it's garnered throughout the years. The entire atmosphere tells you that this place knows what to do, and that they're damn good at it. This place will always hold a special place in my heart, among all of the other residents of New Paltz. Fantastic job B-Side.

    Stuffed french toast

    It was fine. Took a while to get our food and the service was average. I wasn't blown away by the food or the price either a little too greasy for my liking. Atmosphere was pretty cool though big fan of all the art inside. Gift shop is worth checking out. Also prepare for auto gratuity and a random fee. Probably wouldn't come back

    Great times at B-sides! great food and crew

    Chef Lou and staff were able to quickly accommodate my friend's keto diet needs. Great food and there's so many hidden goodies to see.

    We stumbled upon this hip-looking local eatery after finishing a car repair project. Since we were doing "guy stuff" we passed on having healthy food and opted for the cardiac specials. I has two chili dogs with kraut and a side of fries. My friend has their take on a Philly cheese steak. The dogs were pretty good ... tasty but not as good as good my baseline dog, Nathan's. My friends cheese steak was rated really good and so huge that he took half home with him. The fries came pre salted. In my opinion, they had way too much NACL for my taste. I didn't finish mine - that almost never happens. My friend agreed but ate his. I liked this cool, hip little spot. While we ate, the placed filled up with lots of locals ... young and old alike. A friend who is a local was going to try to join us for lunch but was delayed. When he heard this was our location, he replied with a negative opinion... that was a surprise since I think I'll eat here again when I'm in town.

    Good burger, good fries. Good music playing. One little complaint, an upcharge for using a credit card. I'll use cash next time...

    We were just passing by this town on a long drive from Philadelphia to VT but we enjoyed our first…read morestop so much, we stopped here again on our way home! There is indoor and outdoor seating. All the outdoor tables have umbrellas. Dog friendly. You order and pay inside (tip: know your table number when you go to order). We tried two of their salads (Waldorf, southwest Cobb)... we enjoyed them all... very fresh, good sized. Got both of these on both trips in. The turkey BLT wrap was great! Parking - we parked in a lot behind the restaurant. Most people had to pay the meter but we had a handicap hangtag and the handicap spot was free. Would def recommend!

    Boy, are there a lot of post-hike options in New Paltz. I stopped by here this past Saturday…read moreafternoon after an 8.7-mile hike in nearby Minnewaska State Park. The weather had been pretty mediocre throughout the day but that clearly hadn't stopped the tourists from invading the downtown area - the place was teeming with people when I came in around 3pmish. I didn't do a ton of research on potential eating spots (a lot of SE Asian eateries, which seemed kind of random?) but picked Lola's because it was a block or two from where I parked, and I immediately imprinted on the Short Rib Grilled Cheese when I saw it on the online menu. Decision made. Since it was starting to get a little nicer out, I would have liked a spot outside in the front patio. But the girl at the check-in (I feel like there's a much better term for that) asked me to go inside, which for sure was a bias against the fact that I was a solo diner. I get it in theory, but it's not fun to get treated like a second-class citizen because you don't have a posse with you in a tourist trap. Regardless, the interior was fine; looked like it had been redone within the last year or so; what it lacked in personality it made up for in terms of overall spiffiness (and the area where the personality DID come through was in the bathroom area, with tongue-in-check "Whatever" gender signs on the doors and edgy art by the sinks. Tell me you're a college town without telling me you're a college town.). The set-up in here is more casual than I assumed; I was told that my table was #10 (the numbers were clearly marked on each table, reminiscent of Smashburger), and that once I decided what I wanted, I needed to go up to the counter to order. Someone WOULD serve the food, but a big chunk of the experience is DIY. I ordered the aforementioned Short Rib Grilled Cheese w/ Fries, along with a Diet Pepsi, and waited. I thought this was pretty inefficient, as there were plenty of employees nearby who easily could have just taken my order at the table instead of having me sit down, then stand up and walk across the restaurant to order, and then sit back down. The wait was a little longer than I would have guessed, just given the straightforward order and casual, almost fast-food style to the business model; it took close to 20 minutes to get my sandwich, I'd guess. Not egregious, and there WERE a number of other customers on the premises as well. The Grilled Cheese was just okay - I tend to grade on a curve after a hike, but I thought it was really drippy/greasy, and I wasn't crazy about the tomato compote it came with (which is a personal palate preference and something that WAS specifically referenced on the menu and I didn't request its exclusion; easy to remove, regardless). The short ribs aspect was unsurprisingly the best part. The fries were decent; a little pale but cooked through. There was a pickle hidden underneath them that was a little emotionally upsetting but it is what it is. This was fine and could have been worse, but the next time I'm in town I'm going to keep walking down the street and trying one of the many other options nearby. The target demo for this feels a little more 2am college student than hungry hiker in the afternoon.

On the weekends it turns on a late-night party scene filled with college students. It is lined up right in Main Street with other smaller restaurants and bars. This was one of my favorite cheap eateries in the town while I was in college. I have been here twice since for happy hour specials. I ordered the chicken wings and the shrimp tacos. The drinks were around $5 which is a steal compared to New York City prices. In the past they used to offer a large fishbowl drink for your birthday. It was huge and took several people to drink it. Currently it is the size of a large cup as you can see in the picture. It does the job but it is much smaller than what it was in 2010. The staff here is very friendly and helpful. I usually sit at the bar which is a great place to meet others and watch the game. Everyone usually comes in for drinks and a quick meal. There are large tables for families to come in and spread out. Everyone was nice here. I plan to come back soon and take advantage of the happy hour specials again.
