    That was the sweet potato and smoke turkey hash  and he's still working on those pancakes
    BriAnne O.

    My boyfriend and I came here two days in a row for breakfast. Everything was DELICIOUS. Coming from the city, we enjoy and need some good food. Lydia's did not disappoint. Quiet and friendly atmosphere with a DIY coffee bar. Day 1 we both had eggs over easy with corned beef hash and we split the pancakes. Day two my boyfriend couldn't stop thinking about this pancakes so that's what he got. I went with the 2-2-2 w/ cinnamon French toast, eggs over medium, bacon and a side of the sweet potato and smoked turkey hash. That hash was absolutely amazing and I added the eggs yolk into it. I can't wait to try and duplicate that recipe as best as I can when I get home.

    Lydia's amazes me yet again. It's a Monday, mid-afternoon, and my cupboards are bare. I think of where I've had reliably good food and Lydia's is the first spot that comes to mind. Looking at my copy of their lunch menu, I call to ask about the soup of the day, but then I see "Shrimp Poboy". Now you have to understand that I lived in Pensacola Florida for 29 years and had access to fresh seafood any day and any meal that I desired. Also I was a frequent visitor to New Orleans where poboys were born and bred. I wondered if I was up for possibly being terribly disappointed by ordering a Louisiana sandwich up here in the Hudson Valley, but I was hungry for shrimp. Shrimp Poboy, sweet potato fries and a Coke $12.10 -- so far, so good. Back at home I'm nibbling on some fries while opening up my foil-wrapped sandwich. It sure looks good, and shrimp are falling off -- a good sign that Lydia's doesn't skimp on their shrimp. Ok. Here goes. Biting into the Poboy brings me joy. I am impressed. The shrimp are fried just right, it's dressed with lettuce and tomato, and it has a nice spicy mayo that gives it a good 'ol New Orleans kick. I'm full halfway through, so I'm saving the rest for a snack when I get home from work later tonight, and there are enough fries leftover for two more meals. I was so excited about finding a shrimp Po boy up here that I forgot to take a picture before I ate half of it!

    Great food, at amazing prices. Dinner was so good. I went in there thinking I would eat everything on my plate, because I was so hungry. I could barely get through half of my shrimp po boy sandwich.

    We were visiting the area and after searching for restaurants that were open, and we ended up at Lydia's because it was open and nearby. I'm so happy this happened because we loved it! I had the beef soup and it was delicious. My wife had the burger and we shared chicken wings as an appetizer. I also had the chicken meal and it was some of the best fried chicken I've had - it was flavorful and very crispy. The place was cozy and the service was great - attentive, prompt and welcoming! Roni (the chef) was very nice and attentive to detail in her cooking. She spoke to us a bit about her process in smoking meats, making broths, and making her special crispy duck. We loved it so much we decided to come back the next night for their NYE dinner. They had live music and a delicious meal. I had the crispy duck and a delicious carrot cake for dessert. The place was full of what seemed to be family and friends, so it seems like it's a local favorite. Definitely give it a try if you're in the area. We'll come back here next time we're in the Catskills!

    Great local breakfast place. Love the omelette. Fresh ingredients and quality eggs. Great service and attitude too.
