The Roost in Stone Ridge, a great find. The other day we had a wonderful burger, with a server at the counter who was super and pleasant. We mentioned we would share the burger and the young woman had the kitchen split the burger and fries to be served on separate plates for each of us. Normally, restaurants would just serve the burger on one plate with a knife for a do it yourself. The chef enjoyed our applause. Our new go to burger place! read more

3rd visit-- we went to use the gift card, this time w my little one, and unfortunately Traci again. We received the same dismissive service, and again, when I asked to add to our order, she came back, grabbed our menus off the table, and ran off like Flash. didn't ask what we wanted to add. Traci never came back and handed us off to another server. I wished she'd had never spoken to us or even attempted to pretend to want to serve us if she were just going to do the same and be nasty. When you're the ONLY person repeatedly being treated a certain way, and you're the ONLY person that sticks out because of how you look, it begs the question as to why Traci is so biased against a woman and a little girl? What have we done to offend you so just by being customers that want to be served and treated like every other table you are pleasant to? And then to slander and act as if we committed mortal sin by being asked to not have you overcharge us AGAIN? "I DEALT WITH THEM LAST WEEKEND?" Dealt with what? A woman that endured your nasty attitude and still tipped you 20% because you stood and complained for an hour about only making $50 all shift when I spent that on breakfast? She overcharged us again and then complained to the kitchen staff and the other server about me, loudly. She acts as if I offend her when she was in the wrong, TWO VISITS. Did she ever apologize for her oversight? What she did to us last time (Lying and telling us that orders of pancakes come w 1 pancake while charging us for 2)? Nope. Did she ever complain as if I was lying (and cheated a CHILD out of pancakes she charged us for)? Yes. Did she make us feel unwelcomed with her cutting her eyes and abandoning our table, twice? YES. Complaining because we asked to see our check to make sure she didn't pull the same stunts? Yes. Traci ruins this place for us and we won't be back. I cannot and will not subject myself or my beautiful girl to blatant mistreatment, lies, ATTITUDE while brunching. For what? We have spent over $100 here on breakfast, and everyone else is sweet, but not worth it to make my little girl ask me why is she so mean to us Mom? Why is she doing this? When a CHILD picks up on your shenanigans and hears how you talk about us with no regard, vis a vis other tables, it's sad. Very sad because this would be one of our weekly go to spots while at our mountain home. read more

Delicious, simple, fresh, friendly, and reliable! Definitely our go to breakfast spot.

I love this restaurant. They are a staple for locals in this area of the Hudson Valley. They consistently provide good home cooked style meals with a friendly small town feel. The staff are friendly and helpful and do their best to meet the demand during the rush times. I have no patience for those who get impatient or rude to the staff who often juggle many tables plus phone in orders at the same time and still manage to smile. I highly recommend this restaurant and am very grateful for the cooks and wait staff who make my experiences at this restaurant wonderful. read more

Excellent service, excellent food. Reasonable prices. Six guys ate very well and got full. A classic spot.

Good place for brunch and breakfast! I liked the food. Outdoor seating is available and very nice. They need more staff though cause it took us a while to get our order and as well taking our bill. read more

The food is to die for. Excellent staff. Love it! They use local beef. Can't beat the taste

Chicken and waffles, barbaco tacos, burger all excellent! Friendly staff and nice atmosphere

Very pleased to find this place on our short getaway from NYC. It was a great breakfast option. Large menu to choose from and delicious coffee and latte with Stumptown beans. Our server was super friendly and was managing a large takeout order with professionalism. We ordered an omelette and chicken and waffles. They have a nice outdoor balcony as well. read more

We were deeply confused by our experience with this place. We ordered take-out on a Monday night: a salmon sandwich, a hot chicken sandwich, an impossible burger, and some desserts. The food was all excellent except for the impossible burger, which was literally just a dry charred patty on an English muffin. No lettuce, no tomato, no pickles, no onions, no sauce. The English muffin wasn't even toasted! Did they forget to finish making the burger? Do they hate vegetarians? It was just weird. We'll probably give this spot another try but beware the impossible burger! read more

CAnnot recommend the salmon quesadilla. Too salty and onions undercooked. They also have home fries on the menu but they are actually french fries which were soggy. I have had better meals here in the past i think but today was not good. read more

Came here for breakfast during a working weekend away from home. I seldom visit upstate and get a chance to eat locally but was glad to stop by this place. There was no wait, and my coworker and I decided to sit outside since it was a nice day. Service was a tad on the slower side, we were on a tight schedule that day so we didn't expect for the food to take over 20 minutes. Nonetheless, not the restaurants fault, they were extremely kind and friendly. Food was delicious and portions were bigger than I had anticipated. I couldn't finish my pancakes but the sausages were gone real quick. I ordered a latte but it was a lot foamier than I'm used to drinking. Aside from that though, wonderful spot for breakfast! I highly recommend stopping by. I wish I could've stayed longer or visited more than once. Rest assured if I'm ever in the area again for work or leisure, I'll be here for breakfast/brunch! read more

Quaint, hometown eating. Had a bagel and was pleasantly surprised. Definitely would eat here again if I was up this way.

Excellent food in a casual setting. Good variety of dinner specials served after 4 pm.

My husband and I are staying at Hasbrouck House and wanted something small and quick to eat. We saw The Roost and decided to give it a try. It is a very cute small place, the server seemed to be doing it all herself inside but was handling all the tables amazingly. She was also very nice. I would highly recommend this place for a quick bite! read more

The Roost is a homey restaurant that serves delicious comfort food. I ordered the HV burger, which probably was one of the best burgers I've had in a while. It was nice and juicy, and complimented with a side of tasty homemade shoestring fries. I would definitely return again if I'm ever in this area. read more

(Rating based on one visit) That was great! I'm not sure what I expected when I ordered the "breakfast salad" but what came to the table exceeded my expectations. The greens were fresh and the dressing was yummy. There was just the right amount of shredded cheese to add that salty tang without overpowering the other flavors. The crumbled sausage and bite size bits of bacon were distributed perfectly, and it was topped with two beautiful over easy eggs with creamy yolks. The proportions of each item in relation to the others was seriously perfect. Even the dressing (which I typically will request on the side) was just the right amount. There were several items on the menu I'd like to try, but it will be difficult to order something else next time I visit because the breakfast salad was just so good. The iced coffee was tasty too, and I like that they had a variety of non-dairy options for "creamer". Service was good, I didn't have to wait long for anything. read more

The Roost - "Breakfast Salad" - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Stone Ridge, New York

My wife and I have been here three times now over the past two months for breakfast/lunch. The baked oatmeal - excellent. All the skillets - excellent. The coffee - excellent. I've had chicken and waffles everywhere, and Roost's is at the top. Service has always been friendly and efficient. And here's another thing that has nothing to do with the review: I see staff greeting their locals by name each time - as if they're actual humans and not just "people that come in." A lot of "local" places bloviate about "local" and all this other crap that essentially means, "we're in your area, come here, we're one of you." But in 95%+ of cases, that's just BS. Not here. Excellent job by their staff. This is how it's done. The only thing wrong with Roost is that it's not closer to our house. Easy, EASY 5 stars. Absolutely love this place. read more

Walked to entrance and door was locked. Knocked and no one answered. Plenty of guests eating.... read more

If I had to choose a place worth the drive, I would definitely put this on the top of my list! The staff is friendly and the coffee is great and hot. This place is small, but the wait is worth it if there is one. Make sure you put your name on the chalkboard when you enter. The hillbilly Benedict if it's on special get it! The biscuits are great, fried chicken is some of the best I've had, the addition of the sausage gravy and eggs makes it magical! The scrambles are great! If you want something on the sweeter side go with the pecan toasted waffle, you won't regret it! Try the desserts they are seasonal and so good! I'm looking forward to the next time we venture north! read more

We've been coming to Stone Ridge every weekend as we build our house, and each week we have tried most of the restaurants in the area, often multiple times. It is official that The Roost is the best restaurant we have discovered so far. It stands apart from the rest in that the food is consistent; it is always really good, and the only discernable difference is that sometimes I get more fries on the plate that other times, but trust me, there are always plenty, and they are always perfectly cooked. The service is also better than any of the other local spots, and our server Melinda even knows us by name and remembers what type of salad dressing we like! I'm not even local yet, and I already feel at home . I could go on and on about the food, but no need...it is simply fantastic. (I especially like the salmon sandwich and BLAT-bacon lettuce avocado and tomato). They sell hats there, and I like The Roost so much that I may buy one the next time I go in, and for me, that says a lot. So if anyone asks about my hat, I'll tell them that I got it at The Roost, my favorite local dining spot in Stone Ridge. read more

The Roost is a pleasant surprise! Wow i was not expecting to have the most delicious and unique fries ever at this spot. Please have the fries if you come! The staff is so kind here and the environment is cute, but small. It was too tight being in a group of 6 people but they made it work. The coffee is good and the food is pleasantly refreshing. I must say my favorite was the raspberry salad dressing - i have never had something so delicious! They even sell it to go, i should've gotten some. My only comment is that the "french toast" isnt french toast at all - its bread pudding with your flavor of the day thrown in. You should change the name for that and also add regular known french toast to the menu. I will come back here one day! read more

Don't sleep on the Roost, we drive an hour round trip at least twice a month to pick up dinner here. We've never had anything that's not delicious, and our favorites are the salmon Caesar, the enchilada skillet and always, always one of their perfect slices of quiche. All the food is the right balance between tasty, fresh and comfort food that never feels heavy. On top of the excellent food, the prices are very reasonable and staff are always so friendly. We were craving the enchilada skillet but got held up in traffic and they kindly let us pick it up 15 past closing. Tl;dr go here you will not be disappointed. read more

The food here is killer! Comes out quick, hot, and fresh. Service is amazing and makes you feel at home and safe, even with crazy COVID. The mocha latte is so tasty. Everything was affordable and the definition of comfort, a must stop! read more

Just left the roost, the food was amazing! The staff is accommodating and attentive. I had the avocado skillet with seasoned french fries and a latte. The avocado skillet is vegetarian. I was very disappointed by the review below because this restaurant does not warrant a one star review. The menu is unique with a homemade flare in each dish. Can't wait to try the warm spinach salad and the chicken & waffles. The owner is so sweet. read more

Came here for breakfast during our weekend stay from nyc. Despite the raving reviews we weren't too impressed. The avocado skillet was good but not much food. I would have preferred them charge a few dollars more and add a substantial amount of spinach / potatoes. The turkey club was also good but small. Coffee was good, however, the coffee mug and creamer cup were kinda dirty. They don't serve Diet Coke or Pepsi products. We asked if they could sub sweet potato fries for the regular fries and it apparently was not possible despite us offering to pay more... We weren't given waters and our dog wasn't offered water either. The waitress wasn't too friendly. Overall, we tried better places in the area and wouldn't come back here. read more

We took a trip to New Paltz this weekend and came to have lunch at this restaurant. I ordered the bean burger with bacon, and my husband ordered the BLAT sandwich. We both opted for fries. The food was super delicious, the bean patty was so flavorful, and the fries were crispy delicious. We also ordered the spiced cider since it was chilly out and ended with cheesecake dessert. All Exceptionally well done. The only thing I did not like was our server almost forgot about us. We had to tell her we were ready to order, otherwise she'd never come to us. read more

A decent breakfast but the service can be horribly bad. There is only one great waitress there who seems to be the only one who works. We go there once a month for Sunday breakfast. This past Sunday our food was served ice cold. I asked for it to be warmed up. The waitress grabbed the plates, moaning and groaning that this wan't her table. There was no one else around to ask. She then was chatting away with a customer while the reheated food just sat there. I got up to get it and she just yelled at me in front of the entire restaurant. A middle aged woman acting like a two year old. She then proceeded to complain about me to the people sitting next to us. Not worth the aggravation. read more

Delicious pancakes are the kids favorites. Friendly and accommodating staff.

This quaint little place is off-the-beaten path, but is so worth your time! It is in a small town known as Stone Ridge, New York, just outside the Catskill Forest Preserve. They offer American Fare with a gastro-pub flare, using herbs and spices to liven-up the usual diner fare of sandwiches, burgers, fries & salads, but they also have a specialty board that offers quiche for breakfast and their own twist of surf & turf for dinner. The chef is very talented, the food is very flavorful and the ambiance is country quaint. If you are in this neck-of-the-woods and are looking for some great food, look no further than The Roost! read more

We came in for brunch, I got a coffee and chicken and waffles. They were really good! The chicken was seasoned well and the waffles were awesome, the only thing is that the chicken was a little bit on the dry side so I had to put extra syrup on it.

Crazy expensive for what I got - 2 egg sandwiches on the menu for $3 each, they charged $11 and got coffee, total was about $20 and I've had better at gas stations for far cheaper. I do not recommend going here unless you don't care about paying twice as much for the same quality and taste of food. read more

Lovely, sunny seating on the front porch made for a very relaxed breakfast. We had the avocado skillet (clearly a crowd favorite) and a smothered veggie burrito with a couple of sides: pastrami hash and a cup of fresh berries. Extremely friendly waitstaff, who gave us great tips about what to see and where else to eat during our stay. We will definitely be back! read more

Great restaurant with good food and reasonable prices. Open for in person dining, including an outdoor area and also good for take-out. Highly recommended. read more

Lovely new cafe serving only the freshest local ingredients. Charming staff, too. We like sitting on the covered porch. Who doesn't need another great place to have breakfast or lunch? As someone who works for myself, I appreciate being able to get out of the house for a healthful & delicious meal, a little socializing with fellow locals. Price is right, too. Highly recommended! I like the corned beef with grilled onions & apple, yum. My husband likes the eggs & house made sausage. Again, yum. read more

Great little spot with amazing service. I stopped for a quick dinner at the bar and ordered the BLAT with fries.

My husband and I stopped here for breakfast on our way home from Woodstock NY and we were glad we did. We had the best breakfast of our whole trip here. I got the avocado skillet and my husband got the fried chicken and waffles, both were delicious! I'm not sure if the woman helping us was the owner or not but she was so pleasant and friendly. If you want a great breakfast and a warm, friendly spot this is it. read more

Eh. I wasn't really impressed by this spot. I'm not sure if it was that I had my hopes up for a heft sunday brunch. Anyways the staff was super friendly and accommodating! read more

Once again Yelp has come to the rescue when I am in a new place and in the mood for some good eats. This time I got to try a new spin on the BLT. The BLAT which was thick cut bacon, lettuce, avocado, & sundried tomatoes all on toasted bread with mayo. I can't express how well this sandwich hit the spot. The roads of Stone Ridge look like they are prime for some motorcycle riding so I will be up in the area again. The service was friendly and fast. Can't really ask for more. Thank you! read more
