    bananas foster french toast
    Caitlyn F.

    Came in on a Sunday at around 11:30am with a group of 7 and were told to wait a bit until our full party arrived, which is totally fine and understandable. When everyone arrived we all got seated inside and the vibes were immediately off. It took us over 10 min to even get our menus and we were just sitting there trying to flag someone down to help us while we saw a waitress giving menus out to folks just coming in. When we finally got her attention, she just told us "someone will bring it to you soon," when she literally could've just grabbed a few and hand them to us. At this point we were about to leave, but stayed because we were all starving. This happened throughout our meal, we had to ask for water and cups multiple times and even got dirty plates sent to us, which we then asked if we could get newer ones. Not sure if it was because we were the only POC in the room, but we felt like this treatment was targeted specifically at us since everyone else in the place was attended to in a timely, friendly manner. The food was okay and took a while to come out. I got the crab cake benedict and there wasn't much flavor to it. The potatoes were also soggy. The saving grace was probably the banana foster french toast. Overall, we definitely felt unwanted there and would not return solely because of the service.

    First I like to a give shout to the service, the waitress here was very nice and polite, really made you feel welcomed here, plus I did a see a old women with her dog wonder in to order take out, not only did waitress say the place is pet friendly, she took the women to go order and offered her dog a doggy treat, it was really sweet to see. The place has a home vibe like eating a dining room at your home. So for the food, I got the peri peri chicken skewers and they really good, chicken was moist,tender and very spicy , I wish the skewers were bigger and I got more chicken. The arugula salad underneath was alright, but I had to use the tzatziki sauce as dressing and wish more smooth the chunky as sauce for that reason. The basket of house fries were great, actually very crispy and lightly seasoned. A definite great first time here for lunch.

    Rhode Island Style Fried Calamari ($18)

    Decent little cafe in Beacon - the service, the food, the atmosphere - all just okay. I got an espresso martini to start and it could have been better. The Rhode Island Style Fried Calamari ($18) was pretty good - I have never tried Rhode Island style and I will say this is my new favorite. The cherry peppers and vinegar matched well with the crispy calamari. The Avocado BLT Panini ($17) was a bit underwhelming and there was too much bread. They have $5 mimosas though, so I finished a late lunch off with that! Overall, decent spot for food if you are hungry and looking to get out of the cold weather outside.

    Had such a lovely brunch with my family. Their food was delicious, we had to order second portions of the steak and eggs lol. Mimosa flight was also great! The flavors are most probably just syrups, but was still yummy and fun.

    Mimosas

    The food is absolutely amazing top-notch we go here often for breakfast or lunch. The staff is lovely.

    Really enjoyed Sunday brunch at BFC after a few hours being inspired by the art at Dia Beacon. Asked the hostess for her recommendation between crab cake poach or the big breakfast. Without hesitation she recommended the big breakfast, "it has a little bit of e'rything!". The pancake was PERFECT... crisp, cooked all the way through (great pancakes are not sponges or uncooked in the middle). Not sure if the eggs were real, but they were cooked soft as requested. Home fries were light, not greasy, and well seasoned. Two! not one sausage patties. Shhhhh. Yummy Perfectly sized small family style restaurant with staff who treat you like your Aunties. The Local artist art on the wall and the competing sound of the other diners, forks, knives, spoons, plates, and laughter made BFC feel like brunch with friends and fam'.

    Blueberry Pancakes

    Great breakfast spot. We stopped here in the morning for a bite to eat and were extremely satisfied. The only negative was that they wouldn't let you add blueberries to the big breakfast pancake or order a side pancake, you have to get a full order but they were delicious so it worked out.

    Classic diner - seevice was fast and food came out quick. Just a note, they shift over from breakfast to lunch early afternoon so be sure you're looking at the right menu! If you're looking for breakfast foods, definitely come before noon.

    DELICIOUS! We went on a Monday morning; it was totally quiet and we were the only ones there for a while. The waitress (Nicole) was super friendly and helpful-- all the staff were lovely. The food is fabulous! I had the best blueberry pancakes of my life, truly! My husband had the bacon waffle and raved about it and the potatoes. Super fresh, tasty, seasoned... perfect. This is a 100% do not miss Cafe in Beacon. I can't wait to return and try more of their menu. Just yum.

    Falls Burger
    Fiona O.

    The burger was a little underwhelming, as I was expecting more flavor. It was cooked well (I had asked for a medium rare), and the service was good. The cafe was a great place to hang out with friends. A little sad to not have experienced the brunch menu, but the food was good nevertheless. A solid burger, but don't expect anything out of the ordinary!

    This place has excellent breakfast. The inside is small but relaxing atmosphere. As we entered we were greeted by the staff and helped us to our table. The food came out at a decent time. The server was great with coming by the table to see if we needed anything. We plan to come again.

    Slow service, okay breakfast (hobo scramble), and expensive drinks. Maybe worth it if you're local? I won't be back though.

Fresh strawberries and mint were nice to see, but there was hardly any alcohol in the drink and the straw was far too narrow to be able to take a sip without it becoming obstructed. Poured woefully short as well, topped with even more ice and seltzer. Had the tempura shrimp to start. Generous portion, well seasoned. Slightly rubbery but not detracting from the dish. Aioli was great, but could have used a little more. Chili sauce was also good, but could barely get any in the ramekin it was in. Bacon cheeseburger with mushroom for my main followed. Looking back, there was actually NO bacon on the burger. Not sure if the kitchen overlooked it, or what. $4 for added mushrooms seemed a bit exorbitant at first, but they were oyster mushrooms. Fries were crisp and wonderfully seasoned. Ordered the burger medium - came out medium and juicy.... But absolutely flavorless. If their head chef loved salt like their fry cook, this burger would have been spectacular. The mushrooms never got to drive off extra water because of the lack of salt, and the meat just fell flat without seasoning. I wanted to love this burger, but I just couldn't no matter how hard I tried. Had the crack pie, advertised to be similar to Monofuku Milk Bar... for someone who had crack pie multiple times before it became the phenomena it is now, this falls short, by a lot. The chess pie filling is far too dense, lacking caramelization. The pie crust was undercooked and anemic. Sugar decoration on top added zero value to the dessert, and coconut ice cream is far too competitive a flavor to put against this dessert. Sauces on the plate were weak and boring eye service. Paid my $80 bill, tipped (even though the bartender was rarely seen or asking how things were), and headed out. For a quiet weekday, the service and quality of food were severely underwhelming.

    In conclusion of my party of three outside of NYC escape winery crawl we had dinner at Piggy Bank…read more I was satisfied with the food and customer service. Our female server and male server Tim were both welcoming and attentive, but Tim was the man. He briefly chat with us noting that we are out-of-towners for ice breaker and welcoming as I am obviously not a local resident who stick out like a sore thumb. I was very dismayed with my drink. Tim explained the past history of this building. There is no cellular signal. However, free WiFi access is available with password request. Wi-Fi network is "ThePiggyBank." The business name is Piggy Bank 2.0 in the former home of the original BBQ Piggy Bank. This retail space was the former home of a financial institution that defunct fifteen years ago, but the restaurant maintain the structures of the original large vault, vintage tin ceiling, and large windows are still in tact and visible. The restaurant contains the original red exposed bricks. Restroom facility is relatively clean. There are two WhistlePig Piggy Bank Rye, a limited edition, 10 year old straight rye whiskey packaged in an interactive, pig-shaped gold ceramic decanter bottle that functions as a working piggy bank located on a high bookcase behind the bar counter. Oh! Tim was very accommodating as I had to hurriedly exit to catch my MTA Metro North commuter rail, disappointedly return to NYC. The bill is distributed on a nuisance handheld digital device where you can choose gratuity of intervals of 18%, 20% or 22%. I am old school as I prefer to review my bill on printed paper. I did obtained my sales receipt on paper. No business cards are available when requested. The female server politely stated the unavailability for inability for business card as I inquired to request. Buttermilk Chicken Fingers $16.00 Chicken fingers with BBQ sauce and fries. The chicken was moist due to buttermilk embedded. The French fries were good as it already contained salt. I could not finish due to being induced by my earlier wine intake. Lamb sliders special with salad $22.00 Three lamb slider burgers were a delight for my friend. The salad was light consisting of onion, dill and feta cheese. 8 oz. Smoked Brisket $24.00 It was well season and a joy accompanied with French fries. Salt and pepper rub was seasoned. Mint Condition 8 Mint leaves, lime juice, simple syrup, water, cranberry This is a non-alcoholic drink which is is served in a large martini glass in the same exact high level of sweetness and color of a cosmopolitan cocktail. A cosmopolitan cocktail reminisce me of the tv show "Sex and the City" which in my young adulthood I have libation many cosmopolitans. Forward. My libation taste change with the passage of time. I was very dismayed with this drink because it is highly sweet heavily douse high content of syrup and cranberry. I could not finish. My party of three's pre-existing condition to conclude a day of winery tourism in New Paltz, NY, and Gardiner, NY all within the Hudson Valley region of NYS. Guinness $9.00 It was a joyful delight for my male friend. HV Enjoyer Lager $9.00 At the recommendation of our male server Tim, this craft beer contains a rating of 3.8 of 5, with 943 ratings and reviews on Untappd. It is a 5% ABV American lager brewed by Hudson Valley Brewery in Beacon, NY.

    First thing I want to do is apologize to the Saturday afternoon manager who had to listen to my…read moregripe about the $9.00 price for 2 small pieces of cornbread. Sorry . Oh, so you want a review? Well, even after all that rant, I must say, the food was great! And so was the service. The day manager I spoke of was also our server. She was great, it's not her pricing the cornbread . Her service was great and so was the way she handled herself with (my) issue. The ambience was cool, casual, and probably a fun night spot to go for a drink, they have a pretty big bar and bar area. So as a whole picture I would definitely go again. But if you're planning on going to Piggy Bank, plan on going to the bank first. It's reasonably priced, don't get me wrong, but the Sides and cocktails will get ya. I'll wrap this review up by saying, thanks to NYC tourism, all of Main St. feels they can charge NYC prices. The only good part is that we locals don't have to pay for a train ticket to eat like we're in NYC, but they do.

I reminisce arcade video games were always localized at shopping malls. Happy Valley Arcade Bar contains many games and snacks as well as alcohol and non-alcohol drinks are available. There is a coin change machine which was not working. This arcade video game business does contain a bathroom facility. It does provide a temporary mental detox or mental phlegmatic disposition from life's stressors in a casual relaxed atmosphere without judgment and without pressure of looming deadline for quota. There is also a small photo booth which can only fit two people. It was impossible to cramp six adults in this miniscule booth. There is an outdoor patio for seating. I hoped to see Grand Theft Auto, but to no avail. Arcade cabinet games are: Pac-Man 1980 I played for $0.25 and lost at the first round. Donkey Kong 1981 No comment. I did not play. The Simpsons 1991 No comment. I did not play. This depicts violence as Maggie is kidnapped because a large stolen diamond, inadvertently, landed in her mouth during a melee and she begins sucking on it like a pacifier. The rest of the Simpsons family gives a violent chase in pursuit for retrieving Maggie. Mortal Kombat II 1993 No comment. I did not play. Street Fighter II 1993 No comment. I did not play. KungFu Kickball I was on the red team to punch, kick and headbutt a ball into the opponent's bell and won against a good longtime male friend who was on the blue team. The final score 3-2. I feel like Danielle de Barbarac who slaughtered her longtime childhood male friend, Gustave in mud fights. "Boy or girl, I can still whip you!" Danielle de Barbarac in "Ever After: A Cinderella Story" 1998 film. Because the capable woman is never far away as I am right here! Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2002 Wow! This dancing video game reminds me of the movie "The Kissing Booth" which appears exactly as is. Pinball Oh, my inner child surfaces! No comment. I did not play. Pinball games are very classic and simple as the objective are all the same with a carbon steel or chrome steel ball with flippers. It is a game of chance. I would play pinball at outdoor fairs or festivals while eating funnel cake with strawberries. I remember playing Initial D Arcade Stage: Cycraft Edition 2003 where the seat drastically shifted, leaned, and jerked violently sideways to perfectly match the mountain-pass touge drifting mechanics of the motion-simulator racing game. I remember I jackknifed a vehicle! I lost this five minute racing game with my then boyfriend. Disappointedly, this video game cabinet is not available at Happy Valley Arcade Bar.
