I enjoyed my bourbon bacon jam burger (to go) even though the bun was much bigger than the patty (which is a pet peeve of mine). The fries were delicious!

I was in the neighborhood with a friend of mine, thought we stopped there for something to eat…read more First off - Service is excruciatingly slooow!!! There are signs outside by the parking "1 hour parking". What if it takes them 40 minutes before they realize you're NOT waiting for the Metro North train! Which has its own waiting area. Didn't know if I was supposed to order at the counter, where there were a few people floating around by the cash register, and they would bring it to me, or a waitperson would eventually show up. Part of the problem is they have two outdoor seat areas, a bar area, a bistro area, and a main dining room, that has to be covered. They also sell a lot of small items to people getting off at the Metro North train station. The portions are smaller than expected. The steak sandwich comes with fries, but some pickles and coleslaw would be a nice addition; because there's not much meat in it. Even trying to settle the bill as a major operation. I definitely would not return.

Food was very good and place had a very nostalgic vibe. Nice bar and great atmosphere.read more

Even though I'm rating this at 3 stars, I'd really like to go back here and give it another try…read more Went with a group and we all got different things -- but one thing we all agreed on is that the food is heavy and in some cases greasy. If that's your thing, then 4+ stars! Will also give a big thumbs up to the decor -- loved what was on the walls and the floors looked like they'd recently been redone. Various dishes our group had included a breakfast sandwich with sausage; an omelette, which was probably the healthiest option of what folks got; a cheeseburger; someone else got a French dip kind of sandwich. French fries were fought over -- so also a thumbs up for them. Again, I was the outlier in our group and in other reviews so I do plan to return to give it another chance. Check out the menu and other reviews and maybe you'll give it four or more stars!

Nothing fancy, just ​your typical, old-school diner with a massive menu that has everything from breakfast all day to burgers and Greek specialties. I'll be honest: after that hike, anything probably would have tasted good, but the food here is solid and the portions are huge. ​The staff is friendly and it's a great, no-frills spot to refuel. It's not fancy, but it hits the spot when you're exhausted and need a mountain of fries. Plus, they have a full bakery if you want to grab a massive slice of cake for the road!

My wife and I came here for my birthday dinner and, at first, it felt like it was going to be a…read moregreat experience. We had a 6 PM reservation, so the restaurant wasn't crowded at all. The space itself is spectacular, and the views are absolutely magnificent; definitely a beautiful way to start the evening. We were seated immediately, which was appreciated. Unfortunately, the service felt a little off throughout the night. The servers did their job, but they weren't particularly attentive or especially friendly, which took away from the overall experience. We both ordered the three-course meal from the Cherry Blossom Spring Menu. My wife had a non-alcoholic drink that she loved, while I ordered the Blueskin's Bounce, a rye cocktail with cherry liqueur. My drink was just okay. For her meal, she ordered the local burrata, the Chilean sea bass, and the black sesame cheesecake. She really enjoyed the sea bass, but the cheesecake was disappointing. I had the tuna crudo, the cherry-glazed duck breast, and the cherry blossom panna cotta. Unfortunately, the duck was extremely tough, almost impossible to cut or chew, and the panna cotta was bland and forgettable. Overall, despite the stunning atmosphere and views, the food and service did not live up to expectations, especially for a birthday dinner. Sadly, I wouldn't return.

BeanRunner Café - A Peekskill Gem!…read more I've been to BeanRunner many times, and it continues to be one of those unique spots in Peekskill that has its own personality and vibe. This time I stepped away from my usual order and tried the Mediterranean Salad, and I'm glad I did! It comes topped with grilled chicken and is served with pita slices and hummus. Everything worked together perfectly--it was fresh, flavorful, filling, and just really good! My usual go-to, though, is The Hurdle--turkey, bacon, Gouda cheese, sesame ginger dressing, lettuce, and tomato on panini bread. I definitely customize mine : no tomato, extra bacon, no dressing, and I prefer it cold instead of hot. So good! I also had a mocha with an extra espresso shot and extra chocolate , while my daughter and my mom enjoyed breakfast. What really makes BeanRunner special is the atmosphere. You can sit inside or outside, and the whole place gives me a cool Brooklyn lounge/café feel. Inside, you have beautiful authentic brick walls, plants thoughtfully placed throughout the seating areas, and curated artwork displayed on the walls--some of which is even available for purchase. Smooth jazz and R&B playing in the background just adds to the vibe. They cater to and strongly support local artists and musicians which is very cool! There's also a back patio, a quieter separate seating room away from the main floor, and outdoor seating with umbrellas. The outdoor area gives me a little Fort Greene/Lafayette triangle vibe, which I really enjoy. And BeanRunner is more than just a café. They have live music on weekends, and from what I'm told, they have a GOOD time! They also host poetry slams and open mics, which adds even more character to the place. They serve desserts and smoothies too, so there's plenty beyond coffee and sandwiches. The location is tucked back on Esther Place in Peekskill, across from the large Assumption Church building, and that may honestly be BeanRunner's biggest disadvantage. I truly believe that if this place weren't so tucked away, they'd be packed every day. Great food, great coffee, beautiful atmosphere, music, art, plants, indoor and outdoor seating--BeanRunner has a little bit of everything. Definitely a Peekskill spot worth discovering! 5 stars from me!

They even called police on on us because we refused to accept such poor treatment. We filed a report with the police as well and are suing, let's see how it goes.

But I felt they are bit on the expensive side for what they are. Honestly, I rather eat four tacos that are $3.50 each at 14$ somewhere else. Unfortunately, the service sucked. The waiter had an unfriendly demeanor from the start. He glared at me as I came in through the door, but then didn't bother to say hello. He then proceeded to be unfriendly and unpleasant throughout my visit. But the straw that broke the horses back was when he started to yell at me to "hold on ! Hold on!" When I simply asked for the check. So to summarize....decent tacos that are too expensive with bad customer service. I wont be back.

Our Saturday night reservation for 6 included a request for a quiet table in the corner. Upon…read morearrival, we were seated in a nice room adjacent to the bar area and we had the room all to ourselves - Great! Couldn't be more quiet than that! We all choose an entree from the very reasonably priced, Lobster Fest menu. Many entrees included either a choice of 3 different salads (Asian, Beet, or Garden) or the Soup of the Day (Creamy Tomato with Tortellini) - each were Yummy, and a choice of 3 desserts (Lemon Cake, Rum Cake or Ice Cream) - Not Bad! (Psst! We asked for Cake WITH Ice Cream and were happily granted our wish!) Our main selections for entrees were Lobster & Shrimp Newburg, and Baby Lobster Tails & Scallops Fra Diavolo over Papadella Pasta. Those who had the Newburg were very happy and those of us who had the Fra Diavolo were a little disappointed. The sauce and pasta were very good but the "mini lobster tails" were tough and tasteless and the scallops few and very miniscule. (The seafood was unlike any were had ever had and made us wonder, Are these REALLY lobster tails? and scallops?). Overall, service was very friendly, pleasant, and aimed to please, but was extremely slow. We suspect, the kitchen was to blame. We delighted in having our own private room where we were able to converse without the need for shouting or needing to say, I'm sorry - what did you say? Such a pleasure these days! We'll likely be back but won't run back. Hope to see perhaps an Octoberfest Menu in the Fall.

3/18/2025: I sincerely hope to return back on here to give an updated review!…read moreLet's start with the easy positives: parking is NEVER an issue as you have an entire lot sharing that of Stop n Shop. Food is always served in a timely manner. It is served hot and flavorful. Now,onto the negatives: I know everyone has a not so great start of the workday/morning, but our server today named M*r** gave us the impression that she didn't want to be there. I cannot EVEN call it "businesslike or professional". She didn't offer any words back other than what was spoken to her. No "good morning" no smile, and never ONCE checked our table to even see a simple thing as a coffee refill. The busboy was the opposite accommodating one who gave the coffee and the take-out box that we needed. When we asked him, he gladly helped us. It didn't stop there! Now onto the male, who I've never seen before, cashier. Didn't say a word during the ring up. Matter of factly handed the receipt and the pen for my signature. Still saying nothing. Here I'm paying the establishment patronizing Pastels --- finally a delayed low tone "thank you" as I gave the receipt back. Ok, yes, you're doing your job. In a TIME where it is difficult to both find and retain a job, at least act like you want to be there. We felt almost regrettable for have chosen Pastels today. Future orders when we decide to have their food again will be via DoorDash etc to avoid same, for now Not a pleasant experience today.
