    We started with the Lebanese mezza, the hot tahini greens, the grilled halloumi, and a fried-grits-with-ricotta special.

    I think pre Covid might have been their height and they've lost their zest for business there…read moresouthern fried whiting was the worst inedible piece I fish I've had ; they weren't happy to see us the kids seemed restless. Our food took longer then expected . Their collard greens were terrible.. I make a way better batch for thanksgiving...Mac and cheese was ok fried chicken too but not for the prices ;they even switched our sides up ; unfortunately with a place like Su gar down the road whose owner is genuinely happy to see us and is a down eat in establishment and children who don't seem restless.. I feel this places needs a ton of help and we won't be back .

    ORIGIN: Khalliah Murphy (aka Lady K) enjoyed cooking since…read moreshe was a little girl. After completing culinary school, Murphy started a Yonkers-based catering company, and later, in 2016, moved north to open a brick and mortar cafe -- Lady K's Southern Comfort. LOCATION: Lady K's Southern Comfort is located in a small strip mall along Violet Avenue/Route 9G. Ample parking is available. CONCEPT: Lady K's offers quintessential southern comfort food, such as rice with pigeon peas and slow cooked savory collard greens, however tastes of other culinary heritages, such as empanadas, are sprinkled across the menu. Lady K's primarily offers dishes that represent home cooked southern meals -- on site, as take out, or custom catered events. SERVICE: One thing that stands out about Lady K's Southern Comfort is the homey feeling. This extends to the service. During my weekend afternoon visit Khalliah and Shawn Murphy's daughter and son were eagerly helping (Little K and Littlest K). Although customers place their orders at the counter, I was still asked whether I liked what I had chosen. My response brought a proud smile to Little K's face! EXPERIENCE: Plates are available in three sizes, with a protein and two choice of sides. I experienced the small fried chicken with collard greens and macaroni and cheese on the side. Khalliah's family were known for their fried chicken recipe in their Bronx neighborhood, so it comes as no surprise that the chicken was expertly executed -- crisp, non-greasy exterior encasing juicy, moist interior at every bite. Complementing this was the collard greens, in which multiple flavors were married and had just the right amount of vinegary flavor. Next time I will ask for double sides of collard greens -- it's that outstanding! While multiple tables are set up for dining, Lady K's is currently primarily set up for take out. Although photos on Yelp suggest there was plated service in the past, all food is now served in compartmented styrofoam take out containers. This was my only disappointment as I feel household plates and utensils would reflect the homey dishes for those who are looking to dine in. TIPS: Check Lady K's Facebook profile for rare temporary changes in daily hours. Kool Aid is one of the beverage options. I have never seen that before in a menu and I think it's available adds to the homey aspect of the meals prepared at offered at Lady K's Southern Comfort. Kool Aid was a staple in homes in my neighborhood, and the cheerfully colored packets of flavoring powders are rarely found in grocery stores today.

    Chestnut Ridge, NY - wild west, rawhide, quickdraws, hell's belles, Hell's Angels, bad hombres,…read morecountry hoedown, southwest Americana, and a fistful of dollars. That, pardner, is your friendly neighborhood Outlaw Saloon, so c'mon down! Wowza this saloon was super hoppin' on a Thursday night! Plenty of parking in front and back but the lots were almost full. I haven't been to this location since its past life as a BBQ place, but have been keen to visit Outlaw Saloon since they opened last year. The atmosphere is tight! Now the decor would be nuthin if the food were lousy, but here they do all right too! More than all right. I tucked into the rodeo burger, thick and juicy, well-seasoned and satisfying, with a side of excellent fries. The same could be said for the pork cowboy, a grilled pork chop with a crispy, slightly charred crust, topped with a melting pat of herb-seasoned butter. I wasn't crazy about the pork riblets which were kind of tough and chewy, and not at all spicy for Nashville hot. Next time I will opt for the wings. We happened upon an open mic night, and it must've also been a bike night as a bunch of bikers were gathered on the outside patio (didn't expect to see that in Chestnut Ridge, honestly). The atmosphere was very lively, and we enjoyed the amped up acoustic sets. Needless to say, it was a busy night, but service was not lacking. Our waitress Melinda was super sweet, and I think the owner(?) also came out to check on things. 4.5 stars but rounding up to 5 for aesthetics, ambiance, and cool folks. This is a fun place to hang. Next time, I wanna dress thematically. Yeehaw!

The restaurant maintained the mostly high seats, which can be a problem for those that are vertically challenged, and the one negative is the music is loud, though the live music was excellent last Saturday (sorry, but I don't remember his name). But most of us go to a restaurant for the food, and Outlaw did not disappoint. We ordered the buffalo wings, which were excellent. They were crispy, and a good size. I like them very spicy, and they were a bit short there, but they were hot enough for most people, including my better half. We both ordered the rodeo burgers medium rare. These are a hefty half pound. They were charred on the outside, which is wonderful though the burger was closer to medium than medium rare. They have a huge selection of draft beer, whiskey and bourbon. I was very excited to see Defiant, which ordered. I am very close to giving this a five star review, but the loud music and slightly too done burger forced me to downgrade it slightly. That said, we will be back!

    Excellent experience. Joined you for dinner on a rainy March evening and was immediately impressed…read moreby the atmosphere. We were also able to pick our seats, much appreciated. The decor is adorable--it feels like a hip, boho living room with beautiful plants and cozy hidden corners. The soft lighting and music created a wonderful ambiance that was enjoyed by the diverse mix of couples and families present. Loved that there were kids there :-) The service and food were equally excellent. Our waitress was kind and attentive, and our drinks arrived quickly. We particularly loved the broccoli cheddar fritters. My burger was delicious, especially the dipping sauce and fries, and my friend thoroughly enjoyed the steak. Thank you for a wonderful evening. I look forward to returning soon. Don't forget to check out the merch!

I ordered the Bright Idea cocktail, and enjoyed it so much that I ordered a second. My husband had the Warm in the Sun cocktail, which was also delicious. We started with hush puppies, which were more flavorful than your standard hush puppy. They came with a tartar sauce that wasn't typical - it was delicious. We also got the Alabama white wings. The white sauce was good but not my favorite, next time I'd try smoky buffalo or buffalo. The ranch dressing was amazing and herby! I wonder if they make it in-house. On to the entrees - I got the shrimp and grits. The grits were creamy and so good. The sauce was wonderfully flavorful. I would absolutely order this again, but next time I want to try their vegan fried chicken (fried oyster mushrooms)! My husband's burnt ends were really tasty. Honestly, I wanted to try everything on the menu. The service was fairly quick, despite them being busy. I look forward to returning!

    We had quite the eventful day of biking and bopping around in heavy rain, so when we found this…read morerestaurant near our Airbnb we were more than thrilled. Of course we cleaned up and walked over and were even more thrilled when we arrived to a completely empty dining room with the exception of our wonderful waiter and attentive host. It felt like the perfect, cozy intimate space to the end of an otherwise rainy, somewhat crazy but fun day. We shared a bottle of red on recommendation and had cocktails. The waiter was warm and knowledgeable. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The ambiance is cozy and has an elevated feel. Service was exceptional and it was the perfect, memorable evening. Ended dinner with what I recall was a complimentary chocolate truffle. 10/10!

    People are kvetching about Butterfield's service and prices. And guess what? They're right. Service…read morewas indeed spotty on the Saturday night we came here and prices- well....they veer into sharp-intake-of-breath territory, but the cocktail and wine list are good in value. We'd just wrapped up seeing a property in the area- so coming here for dinner, fell just in line with timing before heading down home. Butterfield is Hasbrouck House's on-site farm-to-table restaurant located a bit north from New Paltz. While we didn't stay at the hotel, folks can certainly dine here. Don't even think that you'll be seated in an ultra-cheap bar area because their bar is put together elegantly with brushed, brassy-gold touches, navy, grey+cream patterned wallpaper and a comfortable tufted leather(?) sofa against the windows.Those are pretty much the overall touches with lots of tone and a lot of warmth. Music was a great mix of 60s-70s R&B. Yeah.... here. Hubs and I were digging it. Naturally, Butterfield's menu will change regularly according with what's in season and available. Between our 'Small Plates' of mixed Beet salad+ yogurt ($18) and hubs' crispy wonton Tuna Crudo+ yuzu tacos ($22)- they were very tasty and pricy for the small size. Mr. Mixologist packed our cocktails extremely well with an incredible TKO. Our main plates were very good- but again, small for the dollar amount. No one needs to gorge on food- but I wished my palm-size $44 Halibut was a bit bigger. To their defense, it had a tasty rub and done PERFECTLY moist though. Hubs' $54 "dry aged strip loin" was a total of 3 pieces. And my take-out Truffle Risotto had uncooked rice. Again, it's small and expensive at $38 for a main plate Hubs and I eat well and usually, money is no object- if it's within reason. I totally get that fine dining typically means splurging a little for high-quality items or that Butterfield is using 'complex cooking techniques' or that you'll get an original dining experience in these neck of the woods for those who want uniqueness. But there are a ton of restaurants that use the same skill set, quality organic ingredients, root veggies, etc- and they're way more reasonably priced than this location.

    A little quaint gem (a bit eclectic) that serves comfort foods in a friendly atmosphere…read more Their menu consists of various chicken sandwiches (fried, grilled or cauliflower), burgers, all day breakfast, soups and salads. We enjoyed the Figgy chicken sandwich (fig jam, plentiful greens, cheese and chicken, bun could have been better quality) with salad (pretty fresh), and the Caesar chicken sandwich with fries. The server (owner?) was very friendly and explained the menu, saying specifically that the chicken sandwiches are made to order. There were only two other occupied tables on a Saturday afternoon and the food took a little while to come out (not very bad but not super fast). It also seems like a place that should be crowded but wasn't. Coffee was self service. They also had a pumpkin pie in a plastic container (didn't look homemade) in the front. There's a little children's play area in the back. And the unisex bathroom was very large. It's located on a street with lots of shops and other eateries (pizza etc).

Our waitress was very nice, really chill, checked in once but if we had flagged her over I'm sure she would have been attentive more but we just didn't need anything. We ordered two different versions of their chicken sandwiches and they both were amazing! I ordered the club and substituted out for the Big Mac sauce, it was ridiculously delicious! The owner/chef I believe came over after our food was served which was really nice to check in and offered some future suggestions that we'll be sure to take her up on. The food was cooked to order, super fresh and a lot of details that made it a perfect bite! Cute place with a variety of seating options, the old brick work pops through in some places which adds a really nice historic charm to the place. We'll definitely be back to give a few more menu items a try!
