    Great service in a rustic looking establishment.  Service was spot on and the omelette tasted good.  Canned mushrooms though.

    Great friendly service with a good tasting mushroom omelette. Reasonably priced with a rustic style eatery.

    Was in Old Forge for a mural job and needed some breakfast before starting. Front Door Diner looked like a nice spot to stop! We were in "painting clothes" and don't look like the typical, wealthy, privileged doctor type summering in ADK, so maybe we looked like the help - I dunno. Because we didn't receive a very warm welcome or good customer service. I asked if takeout was available, was told yes, so we looked at a menu. Once we decided what we wanted, I had to search for someone to tell because no one was checking in with us, no one said "let us know when you're ready"; we were essentially being ignored. "Hi, excuse me, where can we place an order for takeout?"I asked. "Umm...(looks at girl next to her) do you want to take this?" Never responded to me, never said "Sure! Let me find out for ya," or anything like that. I find that to be kind of rude. The vibe felt like they were either confused or annoyed that we wanted to order takeout. None of the younger women working there were overly friendly. Giving three stars because the food wasn't BAD, just nothing to write home about and the portions were small for the price. I opened my container and the tiny portion of home fries felt like someone was pranking me. The hollandaise on my Benny was separated, the breakfast burrito was small and kind of pitiful looking, but again, didn't taste bad. It's 2022; if businesses don't care about basic customer service, making people feel welcome, etc, especially with the cost of dining out, I'll happily spend my money elsewhere. I'm 1,000% more likely to return to a place when I felt the staff was personable, welcoming, and helpful. And this diner simply wasn't that.

    menu had a nice selection, reasonable prices and a decent variety for a diner. servers were very attentive. will probably stop back next time i'm around this area and try something more adventurous, but the chicken tenders were cooked well and the fries were nicely seasoned.

    French Toast with strawberries. We expected whipped topping on them. That would have offset the lack of fresh strawberries.

Bartender was friendly and chatted with us for a quick minute as he served a large crowd. The burgers that went by as we stood there looked scrumptious and huge. I would venture to say the food must be good based on the looks of it and the size of the dining crowd. When we sat outside with the gorgeous view from the upper deck people below were getting pizzas that also looked delicious and I'd say about 18" with fresh looking ingredients. I cannot attest to flavor but the smells were awesome. Next time we will stop later and grab a bite for dinner.

    First, I made the rookie mistake of popping by Keyes on a Sunday morning in the fall. The place…read morewas packed, there was a line - but I scored a counter seat right off, and placed my order for a biscuit with gravy, some corned beef hash, and a coffee. This would end up costing my $17 and change, expensive and not a good value. The food was served cold, clearly not made in house, and service was indifferent at best. Go someplace else, like one of the restaurants in Inlet, about 5 miles up canyon. Getting wait staff attention for some coffee was the first challenge and indication of the pending experience. The food took over 45 minutes to come out, even for such a simple order, and the 2 times I was able to grab attention for a coffee refill really felt like I was imposing on someone. The gravy arrived cold - not "was on the warmer for a while" cold, but "we just got this out of the walk-in" cold, and returned from a brief trip through a shower of microwaves barely warmed. The corned beef hash was clearly scooped out of a can on to the grill and was a small portion for the price. All while while trying to inject myself between wait staff and their indifference to get coffee, check, warmed gravy, water refill, etc. 7 minutes after leaving I drove past a few restaurants in Inlet, with less crowding and looking just as quaint as Keyes. I'll try there next time I'm through this area. Definitely not Keyes!

    The food was good - the pancakes were great! Very friendly waitresses welcome you in to a cozy,…read moreclassic, Adirondack diner.

He came around to every table and there seemed to be a bunch of regulars as we sat in the lounge. Most importantly, the food was terrific- I had a queen cut delmonico that was cooked perfectly. Delicious! My husband had a bone in rib eye with shrimp. He raved about it. We highly recommend this restaurant!

    So three stars because from the outside it looks a little more "dressed" up than what you find…read moreinside. I would certainly consider some upgrades. That being said the staff were very friendly and efficient, they took great care of us. There is two sides to sit, bar or restaurant. We choose restaurant, from here you can see your food coming up for service and it pretty much ensures your meal comes to you hot and quickly. We had the lobster Mac and cheese and a Delmonico steak. I had a starter portion of the Mac and cheese and it was huge !! It could have had a few more pieces of meat but it was tasty and cheesy. My husbands steak was cook perfectly, juicy and had good flavor. On this my only note would be a salad should come with it, not be a substitute for a veg, but I'm sure thats to do with today's price points. Our meal with drinks, about $70+ and for the food fair, the bottle of soda at $5 was a little steep. All in all a nice place to stop and eat/relax and we enjoyed ourselves, we come to the area from time to time and will stop again.
