It was sweeter than I anticipated and had grapes and raisins, but it was nice on the salad - which was lettuce with their cucumber/tomato salad on it. I don't know what the dressing was, but the cucumbers were my favorite part of everything!! We also got fries, which took a little bit to come out but were so crispy and delicious! The vibe here was so welcoming and laid back, great sandwich/salad stop!

The diner has a nice retro feel and was very clean. We ordered the Eveready breakfast with three fluffy buttermilk pancakes topped with two farm fresh eggs, two strips bacon and two sausages, a feta and spinach omelette, and two coffees. I asked for the omelette to be made with egg whites but received a regular omelette instead, which was fine--it was still really good. Everything was delicious, but the fluffy pancakes with strawberry butter were definitely the highlight. We all loved them! The coffee was good as well. Service was attentive without being overbearing, which we appreciated. Our total came to a little over $40, which felt reasonable for everything we ordered.

After asking our server for their favs, we landed on the seafood salad and patty melt to share. The seafood salad items (shrimp, scallops and calamari were cooked perfectly. They do not skimp on the size of the seafood either. The house tomato dressing is really bright with a hint of sweetness. Hubby's party melt was a little undercooked but still tasty. The rye bread was buttery toasted and the grilled onions were nice and carmelized. He also loved the seasoned French fries. Oh we really wanted dessert but passed. We did get a small black and white cookie because I'm on the hunt for the best. At only .50, how could I not get one?our server was very attentive and energetic. Loved her! Folks, don't let the low reviews stop you from coming here because they almost did for me. No regrets in the decision. We'll be back for breakfast!

The ambience was very lively for a weekday night, which was nice to see. The bar was packed and all of the tables in the back were full. The food was not that great. My partner got the chopped chicken salad and thought it was very mediocre, especially for the price tag. I had a rack of ribs. I found the barbecue sauce to be weirdly thin in texture and lacking taste. The ribs were extremely fatty. We did not enjoy our meal very much. The service was good, despite how busy the restaurant was. A couple of things were lacking: our table was very wobbly, and our server never came back to fix it after she said she would. Also, we never got any water, even though we asked for it. Honestly, with so many good restaurants in Hudson Valley, I probably would not go back to this one.

A good diner knows how to make a great breakfast. They miss the mark. All we wanted were scrambled eggs, bacon and toast. Eggs (for all 5 of us) came out looking like a solid block of eggs, like a thick omelette. Best guess they scrambled them and put them in the microwave. Then the bacon. Each strip was about 2 inches long and shriveled which tells me they are using the cheapest bacon money can buy. Not bacon strips but bacon chips is more like it. Lastly...does your toaster work? Our toast was warm at best but not the least bit toasted. And thanks for the one container of butter and one container of jelly per person. It seems they are trying to put speed over quality. Take the time to constantly stir your eggs to present them as fluffy scrambled eggs. Buy a better quality bacon. Let your toast actually toast. Yes these things take more time and effort but the breakfast you are serving is truck stop quality. And what's with the name? Do you folks think you are in New Jersey? read more

There was plenty of tender turkey, the stuffing was both sweet and rich at the same time, and the cranberry played very well with the other items in the sandwich. It was an amazing sandwich. From my side, I ordered the cilantro rice, and they sent me a giant tub of cilantro rice. The rice was perfect, perfectly done, and the cilantro added a very nice flavor. And if that is not enough food, it also came with coleslaw and a dill pickle. I loved the pickle, and the coleslaw was delicious, and not overdressed.

We both wanted the home fries extra crispy. My sister checked in to see if they were made with onions. We were told that they were not so we went for it. Anyone who follows my reviews knows I have allergies to alliums so we made the point to let our waiter, Matt know. He was quite alert, and I believe made an effort to make sure that he communicated my allergy to the kitchen. It did not take long for our order to come out and it was stunning and massive. See the photograph. Unfortunately, my sister noted almost immediately that there was onion on the plate. How disappointing because it looked so good. We flagged down Matt to let him know. He was very apologetic and swept the plate away back to the kitchen returning a few minutes later to let me know that the hashbrowns were not an option. We replace those with french fries. Overall, the plate was returned about 10 minutes later and looked free of onions. The eggs were cooked the way we asked, and the french fries were crispy, although they appear to have been tossed in cornstarch or flour to make them crispy - that's a coating which I'm not fond of. All in all, the eggs were delicious and the portion size could have fed three people. We ordered a couple of desserts to take away. Grand total was about $50. Yikes. Add the tip and you're up to $65 for breakfast. I recognized that this was a fancier breakfast and not eggs over very easy, etc. but $50 for two breakfast and two desserts two beverages. That's a lot. Even at the price of groceries these days, $65 still goes a long way in the breakfast category. The ambience is classic diner and very clean the service was quite attentive, friendly, and professional although we did have to flag Matt down a couple of times. I don't think he was distracted, I think it was more his workflow. The loss of the star is because I was served something I was allergic to. That's not really excusable, but they did apologize. I am convinced that he advised the kitchen of my allergy but before finalizing my order, a trip to the kitchen to verify about whether onions or garlic was in any of the food would have been appreciated
