I think the menu has expanded. There were salads that I could have ordered but when I read the description of their Rodeo Burger, I just had to have one: local beef with huge onion rings. provolone cheese, BBQ sauce and thick Applewood smoked bacon strips on a brioche bun. Wow. It was divine. It cost about $13 which might be a little steep for most burgers but this one was far from ordinary. The same goes for their boozy milk shakes which run about $10. I picked the "Top of the Mornin' ," which consisted of Colombian Coffee Ice Cream, Tullamore Dew Irish Whiskey, Irish Cream, iced coffee, whipped cream and fudge. That was every bit as amazing as the burger. However, I only drank half of my shake and gave the rest to my friend because I had to make sure I could drive home. We were both fine. Service was very good. I think it only took about 10-15 minutes to fill our orders. That's pretty remarkable when you see what's involved. It's a family-run operation and everyone there is nice including the young woman who took our order. The farm themed restaurant was very busy when we stopped in on a Sunday afternoon. It was too late for lunch and too early for dinner but plenty of customers were apparently in sync with our schedule. There've been some upgrades to the decor since I last visited a few years ago. It seems they've added a fireplace at one end of the restaurant and a large farm themed play area for kids on the opposite end. There's even a taproom. It's a clean, cozy, family-friendly eatery that serves up farm fresh food. I didn't realize that Del's has another location in Rhinebeck and a family dairy farm in Red Hook. Perhaps my roadtrips will take me there someday.

This is my first time to Chatham, which is a bit of a drive from Albany, and I loved the town. The…read moreweather was perfect, the trees were blooming, and the town was full of lively people. Beautiful architecture, dating back hundreds of years. We were impressed by the People's Pub. Pool and darts on the second floor, and bar and dining area on the first. We spent a good amount of time admiring the wood work around the bar and restaurant, as well as the tin ceilings. We ordered more food that we probably should have, but it all sounded so good, that with the winter menu coming to a close, we knew we would likely not have a chance to order it again. We chose to sit at the bar, and enjoyed a whiskey and pisco sours, made with actual eggs. The open kitchen is a nice touch, and it was nice to see the well staffed restaurant handle the Friday night dinner crowd. Portions for most dishes were a generous size, and we enjoyed the variety of choices. We can't wait to come back to try the spring menu, or to come on one of the special nights, such as the live Irish music.

Inside there is a dining area that wraps around bathrooms. On the counters, staff left their empty gum wrappers, staff drink coolers, dirty rags, half eaten sandwiches, empty bottles, refilled Tostitos jars with stinky substances, papers, and cloths etc. At the counter there was a long wait. Regular visitors brought their own food. Several of the service vitrines were cracked. The glass + tableware racks that busboys brought, were very dirty (see pictures, replace them). My meatloaf sandwich - which is a staple that I usually opt for, when there are many items, was filled with carrot and greens; which left a weird taste, that was not meatloafy on my palette! The sides were good, the coffee as well: but the coffee was always empty. The food is middle of the road. Service is slow and lacks a single 'leader' who can keep business humming along. People waited to pay. Cash was left unpaid on the register - people just gave up and walked out. It is very very chaotic. Food is passable, not refined. Coffee refills took a very long time. Chaotic female wait staff, that creates massive dining room problems and backups for diners wanting to pay. Staff make problems not solving them! Review: -4

The menu changes from what is on the website, and the menu is confidently diverse and plentiful, yet still focused.

We selected a four item Italian inspired hot lunch with garden salad presented in an urn, chicken parmesan, pasta bolognese, creamy penne mac and cheese (fit for an adult but loved by the kids), and seasoned vegetables. The brownies and cookies were a hit too. We took the extras to our hotel where family ate them all. The staff was timely and extremely courteous. I did make the arrangements long distance so I didn't know what to expect -- nonetheless I was pleased beyond expectation. The only difficulty was in reaching the same person to talk to or email during planning, but it all worked out. Thank you for making our meal the best it could be. I'm sorry I didn't take a picture of the buffet.

Located right on Hudson-Chatham Winery's property in Ghent, Moondog's is far more than that. I didn't snag a menu pic, but to further tempt you, these inventive folks seem like they've been cooking up dishes that can make some people jump for joy. Menu reads more like bistroish-style dishes but tastes subtle. I was told the Zucchini in my dish was from the cook's grandma's(?) or mom's(?) backyard and noodles were freshly made which sounded nice but I was hoping my "Zucchini Parm" looked more like it. Instead they were pre-formed patties -_-. Price? Moondog's is doing the "pay what you can" model- but I'm not sure how long they'll continue promoting it. Be warned because we were in sticker shock and hubs decided to pay the full $25ea for our hot buttered rolls which were good but...small. Service was pleasant though from everyone! And because we were doing wine samplings just steps away at Hudson-Chatham Winery, the young lady brought our meals all the way to our table- Thank you! Nothing horrible about the food- they're just bringing their own spin to a different level.
