Greek Wrap
Monica L.

Excellent and super friendly service! We had a wonderful meal with the kids Menu as all diners, is really really extensive. So you really get to choose from a real deal variety of options! Kids had the kids menus chicken nuggets and french toast sticks (includ a drink and ice cream) We got the Greek wrap, chicken orzo soup and breakfast wrap. Everything was good and yummy! Will definitely come back

Two Eggs (Any Style) and Sausage
Adam M.

While visiting Kingston we very much wanted a solid diner breakfast and we got just that! The staff is super sweet and delightful. The food was cooked perfect and came in solid portions for the price. The vibe is classic American diner.

Steak and eggs. I opted for fries instead of the hash brown.
Melanie D.

The food and service were excellent. We went this weekend for their brunch. Saturday and Sunday....delicious! The hash was the best my husband has had in a long time. He had an omlette cooked to perfection. I had the Benedict trio the first day ( no pics..everything was so tasty) and the steak and eggs Sunday. The London broil was so tender and seasoned to well..no steak sauce for me. A gem of a find and our new go to

Me at Broadway Lights
Gluten Avenger E.

This is a dependably friendly place to hang out. It is an old-school diner in the best Greek hospitality tradition. They let me sit there all day and read and write. Servers teach me Greek expressions, or try to. It's someplace I can go any time and eat and hang out in peace. If they were still open 24/7 I would be hanging out there at 2 am. As the Gluten Avenger, however, I only Yelp about gluten issues, and I am happy to say that Broadway Lights is accommodating, intelligent about the issue, and have many options available. You can get pancakes. You can get a gluten free Reuben sandwich. Everything is house made. The cook is fantastic. What more can I say? I'm about to head over now.

Broadway Lights Diner is excellent. The food is tasty, hot and heaped! There are TV's, great sort of ritzy ambiance. It's clean. They sanitize the seat the table. Ate the specialty meat sandwich with fries and a cup of original New York chowder. The soup is tasty, fries crisp - meat sandwich hearty. Staff are friendly, serve food purposefully. No outdoor. Limited parking. Rebel review: 5

Dining room

This place is a gem, reminds you of the old time diner with home cook meals. The portion is huge, came here twice in a row, weekend brunch special morning glory comes with coffee. Yelp check in comes with a soup but seems like the waitress didn't know about it but they still honor it. The food taste very good and the service was excellent. There are two parts of seating area easy to keep distance.

ordered food from this diner & found this in the corner of our to-go tray.
Yung M.

We ordered food from this nasty diner and found this in our tray, when we called the woman on the phone was not surprised whatsoever and wh we went back to get our refund the man said they called an exterminator.... while there was people actively eating in the restaurant while everyone who works there knows about this issue. They should be shut down.

Eggs Benedict
Ried S.

We had breakfast here back-to-back on our trip to Catskills. As far as diners go, Broadway Lights hits the nail on the head. Not too fancy, just solid tasting breakfast. Service was fantastic - our waitress was good about frequently checking on us for more coffee or anything we needed. Can't say you get the same attentive service at even Michelin restaurants. My favorite thing here are the buttermilk biscuits. They are done to perfection - the secret is placing the cooked halves on the griddle for a few seconds to make it ever so slightly toasted. If you're looking for a no frills breakfast before heading out for hiking, this is your place.

My fiancé and I came here before going on a hike in the Catskills. We were both famished, and Broadway Lights Diner & Cafe did not disappoint! I had the Stuffed French Toast with cream cheese & topped with strawberries. I also had an egg cream. Both were amazing and filled my stomach up quickly. My fiancé had the Country Skillet, which he loved. In addition, our server was extremely kind. Anyone in the Kingston area should definitely check them out and give them your business!

As others have mentioned, walking into this place is like walking into a museum exhibit from the…read more1970s. The decor, from the booths to the lampshades, seem like they haven't changed in decades and are in excellent condition. The tables have tops that have obviously been replaced at some point, as they aren't the expected laminate, but otherwise it's like going back in time. We were looking for a traditional breakfast place open on a weekday (rather than a bagel shop or a place that only sells breakfast sandwiches), and this fit the bill. Service was efficient and attentive. They have a large array of menu items, but we both chose to get the breakfast burrito, without the meat. There was a bit too much potato inside for our taste, but others may prefer it that way. The side of salsa that came with it was delicious and made up for any lack of seasoning when we removed the salty meat. We would return when looking for a traditional diner with a large variety of choices.

The last couple of times I was disappointed and yesterday was the worst!!…read moreWas NOT happy with them at all! I had the manager come over and an old lady came and I told her my pork was hard as a rock and I was showing her with the fork and she had the nerve to say "Well we have to cook it" And basically walked away! They should of 110% took it off the bill!! The one night I ordered open hot turkey sandwich and the gravy was boiling (literally) I had a burn on my finger for two weeks! It's definitely gone down hill-sad because I've been going there for many-many years!! Andy u should talk to your managers!! Not cool! First time they didn't hand us the bill- the brought it up to the register smh -

I decided to stop in for lunch. I'm glad I did. The place was bright and clean, and everybody…read morewas friendly. It just has a good old-fashioned diner vibe. They had a very very large menu. I felt like breakfast, so I had the Tuscan omelette. Portobello mushrooms, and roasted red pepper, with mozzarella cheese. It also had Home fries, and I had rye toast. Everything was good. The omelette was tender, I love, portobello mushrooms, and while I don't care for green bell pepper, I really do like red pepper The fact that it was roasted gave it more of a deep flavor. There was a good amount of mozzarella, but not so much that it overtook the rest of the ingredients. Everything played very well with each other. The potatoes were perfectly done, as was the toast. It was not overdone, like some can be. I ended up taking some of my breakfast with me, and then I also ordered an order of the bread pudding to go. Bread pudding is a diner, staple, and they do it very good here. It was tender, the custard was good, just a fantastic bread pudding overall. As of March 2025, there was a very minimal "egg surcharge", very understandable, and there is also a small surcharge if you choose to pay with anything other than cash. They don't try to hide it, they clearly post both of these surcharges. Even with all of that, the price was still very reasonable. I want to come back and try more things. Thank you.

Bad inattentive service, mediocre overpriced food. No reason to go here when there are so many…read moremore good options nearby.

Had a nice late lunch here on our recent trip. (Note that they are often not open at dinner time.)…read morewe were told that the food and service were good and that they had a few unusual local ingredients incorporated into their menu. For this reason, I decided to go with an Arnold Bennet skillet that included smoked trout. If you at all like the thought of lox and eggs, then you definitely need to try this one. It also had Parmesan, chives, and crème fraiche mixed in. The taste of this combination on a piece of toast was delicious! And something I would happily enjoy again and at reasonable prices. Plus, it was enough food that I finished it for breakfast the next morning. The seating area looks and feels like a typical NY diner. Our waitress was quick and efficient and the coffee was good and fresh. Especially with the limited number of dining locations in the Catskills area, Phoenicia diner is definitely worth a stop.

I believe that it is always appropriate to express both the good and the bad, and so my review…read moreoffers a little of both. We had just finished our 8 mile excursion at Rail Explorers last Friday and could not wait to get a bite to eat. We worked up quite an appetite, but did not mind that there was a line out the door. It would be worth it. We were told 20 minutes and so proceeded to wait patiently, just like everyone else. 20 minutes came and went and I was starting to feel my blood sugar plummet. We decided to wait in the bar area where I thought I could at least get started with one of their specialized breakfast drinks, but no one working behind the bar even asked if I wanted anything. I was ready to pay and tip appropriately, but it was like I wasn't even there. They were busy, so I chalked it up to that and waited until we were seated to order something to drink. We were seated at 40 minutes of waiting. Not a problem for me because I knew they were busy. We had agreed to a counter spot, but after waiting beyond the 20 minutes we were told, it would have been nice to have a two person booth. Our server, Kate, was very friendly and took our drink orders immediately. As our drinks arrived, we were joined to our right at the counter by a couple that had been on our excursion. There was another couple to our left, that were into their meals already and enjoying their food. We ordered our food and enjoyed the bustle of the diner. There were so many delights on the menu, but I was like...I just worked my butt off, I'm going to try something decadent and new. I ordered the jalepeno popper hash-browns. A little out of my comfort zone, but I knew they would be good. Within a few minutes our fellow excursion couple received their food. No big deal, right? Sometimes that happens. We waited...and waited. Coffee was refilled and Kate came over to ask if we wanted more juice. I'm thinking, yes! The food should be coming out soon. I watched the kitchen counter like a hawk...my stomach was now growling. The people to our left had left and a new couple arrived, the people from our excursion were finishing up their meal. Yes, that's right, the people that arrived after us were finishing up and we had still not been served. Kate, as sweet as she was, did not come back to reassure us that the food was coming, or notify us of any issues with the preparation of our food. We didn't order anything that would need 40 minutes to cook, so it was odd. Our excursion people left, the new people ordered and we were finally presented with our food. Kate did offer a "sorry about the wait". I smiled as I was just happy to finally have food presented. The people to our left received their food immediately after ours came, so the kitchen was working efficiently for everyone around us. My food was very good. It was an odd choice for me, but the jalepeno popper was decadent and Just what I needed after being there for about an hour and a half total. My fiancé's food....not so much, but I'm sure you will hear from him. All I have to say about his food is that he never complains....ever, but this time, I could practically see the steam coming out of his ears, as it was most certainly not coming off of his plate. He ordered a griddle meal, and oddly enough, it came out cold, lackluster and after the wait we had, it pretty much was the straw that broke the camel's back. I'm thinking that something happened with my meal which caused his meal to have to sit under the lights for 30 minutes....regardless, we should not have been served well after the people who sat down beside us were done and on their way out the door and a griddle meal should be so hot that you have to be careful not to burn yourself. Am I guilty of not expressing how I felt that day and instead choosing to write this review. Yes. But we were annoyed and looking at a 2 hour plus drive into the city and mainly just wanted to get out of there. Saving grace- sweet and friendly Kate and your adorable logo. I was totally going to buy some merch before the experience took my desire for a cute sweatshirt, bucket hat and cookbook to go flying right out the window. No complaints about the price. I too believe in supporting local and paying employees what they deserve.

Quick breakfast after procedure at Vassar Hospital. X Benedict replaced with bacon instead of…read moreCanadian bacon and I had the eggs Benedict Florentine. 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
