I chose Abby's Restaurant solely because it was only a 4 minute detour off of my route journeying from near Albany to back home in southcental Pennsylvania. It was certainly easy access to I-87, the timing was perfect for lunch, and with ample parking. I was pretty much ignored upon my grand entrance, there being no sign to see attendant for seating, or seat yourself, etc. After several minutes I was seated and handed a menu by a reasonably pleasant server. After approximately 10 minutes she took my order which was a mushroom cheese burger with fries (Photo included) My aforementioned burger was cooked to my preference (medium well) and the fries were hot with a small portion of cole slaw.The portion size was generous and certainly tasty. Several minutes after having been served, my waitress did come by to ensure that all was to my satisfaction, which it was. The restrooms require a key, no doubt to discourage use by non patrons driving past with the need for a biological break. Unfortunately, the men's room was out of order, thus inspection by me was impossible. There is a higher price differential when paying with a credit card which I suppose is a necessity in this high tax state. There appeared to be regulars here as a couple other patrons said things such as "good seeing you" and " see you later." I got what I wanted and the location in respect to the interstate was perfect. read more

Great food and service! We were traveling with 2 small dogs when our car died. We got a ride from the mechanic to a hotel and were thrilled to find this restaurant. They had nice outdoor seating were we actually were able to take the dogs off leash and they were able to roam while we ate in a fenced patio area. the waitress even provided water with ice for the dogs on a very hot day. great experience! read more

Excellent and polite service. Delicious crispy chicken sandwich. And the Berry salad was tasty and fresh. Hot Coffee hit the spot before an almost 3 hour drive home. Convenient location just before the highway. A good choice for a quick lunch. read more

Food was great. It was unexpectedly tasty. The establishment was mostly empty but the service was slow. I would recommend it simply for the taste. read more

Great spot. Good service. Thank you Katharine. Outdoor ding could have been a bit cleaner. But over all we were happy to have a great place to eat with our pup read more

Stopped by Abby's today for the first time. I happened to be in the area shooting (photographer) and it was POURING all day. I got hungry and was desperate to stop before it got too late. This was honestly the first place that I found and I'm not super picky. At first it was deserted, which was a little strange, but then it did start to fill up after I was seated. I'm sure the rain kept most people away. I got some mozzarella sticks and then a burger with fries. I must say it was all delicious and I was STUFFED when I left. The coffee was delicious, too. read more

Went for the taco buffet, awful wilted lettuce seemed like left over chicken I told the waitress to take it away. The manager told me she watched the video and saw my grandson eating his taco. He took 3 bites! I reduced to pay for any of it except our beverages she added $6 because I was going to use my card. Place seems to be shady!! They keep out of order signs on the restrooms so people don't try to come in and use them read more

Went here for my mothers birthday. She enjoyed her favorite meal; prime rib. Her bf enjoyed the chicken sandwich, and I absolutely loved the chicken fingers. Lovely food. Service was great, waitress was kind. Ambiance was not all that great since there were barely many people here aside from us, but it was quiet. Wished more people came here, they're really missing out! read more

Abby's opened quietly awhile back and I mostly missed it. Located by the old Howard Johnson hotel off the beaten path, I haven't actually visited the place, instead opting for take out to try it. The menu is very diner-like with a large range of options. Most of it is American and Italian. Portion sizes are very generous. I got the chicken francese with pasta with garlic and oil. The francese was heavy on the egg batter and needed more lemon. Pasta was a solid rendition of one of my favorites; plenty of garlic without it being too much. This came with a Cesar side salad which was solid as well as bread. Was able to carve out lunch for the next day. They also have prime rib which we got too (didn't try) and was more pricey which is interesting. That got a good review as did the veal Marsala and potato skins. A lot of those dishes don't go together but whatever. Will probably give this another shot and try something different. Definitely has potential as I don't think I got their best. read more

We had a wonderful dinner, complete with choice of soup and salad buffet...huge portions...the stuffed shrimp was excellent and a lovely arrangement on the dish...nice to finally have a baked potato read more

I went here for Father's Day with my father and service was very slow. There was no silverware on the table so we waited for a waitress but nobody came so my dad got up to get it. When he asked for it, the waitress seemed bothered. I asked for a straw and the server never came back. I finally got one from another waitress. My dad got the breakfast buffet for $22.99 along with a coffee and OJ. When the bill came we were charged for OJ so I questioned it and the cashier/waitress said that only one was included. I explained that the menu says "tea, coffee AND juice" was included with the buffet. She insisted that it meant only one was. Last time I checked, "and" means all are included, not just one." She refused to remove it so the buffet ended up costing $26.99. Definitely not worth the price. I got avocado toast with egg whites on top. I got charged an extra $4.00. Seems a little high but okay. Tomatoes weren't cut up or mixed in even though I asked about this and was told yes. Super thin bread. Overall, bad dining experience and will not be going back. read more

Absolutely the worst breakfast ever everything is cold. the home fries are disgusting raw cold and swimming in oil coffee cold and the waitdress says when i told her that the 1 other customer in the restaurant didn't complain about the home fries Nobody in here not a good sign on a Saturday morning in ski season read more

Worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant. The Young kid that called himself the manager, was the rudest, nastiest employee I've ever dealt with. I was one of two tables, when I walked in. Waited over 30 minutes for my food. When I asked, I was attacked with F Bombs from the "manager". He called me every name in the book. I don't believe he was really the manager. I hope the real manager reviews the cameras. read more

Breakfast was as on point as the service. Give this sleeper eatery a shot you won't be disappointed!

We were upstate hiking Kaaterskill and looking for dinner before we headed home--Abby's seemed to be the only place open on our route before we hit the thruway. The service was great and we enjoyed the food. Plus, salad bar! What a delight! We'll definitely be back when we're in the area again. read more

Excellent food and service. We ordered the Fat Lacey burger and the Chicken chipotle sandwich. We also ordered the chili fries and regular fries. Delicious, freshly made as you wait. Make your way to Abbu's Kitchen for a great lunch or dinner, you'll be glad you did! Pete N. read more

My husband and I have been there many times. Food has been excellent! we even went once with a group of 25 on a Friday evening! Service and food were both great! it's a must when in Saugerties! read more

We were driving by on our way to PA, and wanted lunch. We stopped and were pleasantly surprised by the food. We had paninis, BLTs, Hot pastrami sandwiches and chicken soup. Everything was Excellent and we would recommend stopping here. read more

Remember when a diner showed some effort to be fresh and tasty? Abby's Restaurant wants to remind you that food should be good and your preferences are important. I've tried several breakfast options on separate visits. Pancakes are hot buttermilks, the eggs are huge and farm fresh and the cup of fruit is ripe and varied. Hurray! Diner community, was that so difficult? Don't be put off by few cars and its setting near an old Howard Johnson's. Abby's is a real find. The Mexican-inspired breakfast burrito is big in size AND flavor. read more

Great diner. Quick service and good food. Location is next to 87 so it is very accessible

Cute setting. Horrible coffee. Slow as snails service. The waitress was clueless and took ages to take care of us. They're just off the Thruway and so may likely survive because folks passing through won't know the locals hate the place. The hotel may help too. This place wouldn't make it a year in town, where actually good food and amazing service is found. read more

I had Cream of Turkey soup and a grilled cheese sandwich , both were very good ! The service was great , too. I will go back tomorrow for breakfast ! read more

We tried to eat here as it had pretty good reviews. Parking lot was empty (not a good sign, but it was a bit early for dinner at 4pm). But when we arrived, both bathrooms were out of service, and the hostess/server didn't seem too upset by that. I don't think the health department would allow a sit down restaurant to have no working bathrooms. We left pretty quick. read more

Our server was very pleasant. We ordered the chicken parmigiana and it was not only very tasty , the portion was huge. The sauce definitely tasted homemade, and the cutlets were not frozen. The dinner came with a nice salad and warm bread. I enjoyed the salad and bread so much I couldn't even eat half my dinner. The place was clean and neat I would recommend for a nice dinner. read more
