Stuffed French toast
Jessica P.

Classic diner with overworked staff. Waited a while for someone to acknowledge us once we sat down. Then when we got our food we didn't get silverware for a couple of minutes so my omelette was kinda lukewarm. No refills on drinks. Final word: the yummy looking stuffed French toast was stuffed with cream cheese with bits of strawberry in it. Not sweetened--just cream cheese. Ick.

This place made me sick.

We used to eat there after the gay disco up the street closed. The club was Prime Time. This was in the early 1980s. It looks like the place went downhill, and they're still using the same batch of oil they used back in 1983. It looks like they need a visit from Gordon Ramsay.

Iike taking a step back into time

Stopped by this hidden jewel while making my way back home from spending the day at Woodbury Premium Outlet. This place is amazing, pulling up into the parking lot; you would think you are taking a step back into time. Going through the doors, you will find a beautiful well-kept piece of classic American dining. You are greeted by friendly smiling faces, a huge glass case of delicious cakes and pies that make you want to skip the main meal, and just dive into a big slice of YUMMY. I chose to sit at the counter top and ordered a burger, basket of fries and a coke, to which I was not disappointed. The food came quick, the burger was super-hot and juicy, and the fries were nice and crispy. It was so hot and delicious; I ended up burning the roof of my mouth and I didn't mind one but. My server was super friendly, and kept coming and checking on me, always keeping my coke full. After wolfing down the plate of Heavenly awesomeness, I was so full, but that glass case of desserts that greeted me when I came in, kept calling my name. I ordered the Strawberry Cheese cake and it was so good. It was soft, not overly sweet, and was generously loaded with strawberries. If there was anything that I could add, it would be the cleanliness of the bathroom. It might have been bad timing as I was coming at the tail end of the day and it hadn't be taken care of, but the bathroom could use a little cleaning up. There was no soap to wash my hands. It's places like this, that makes road trips so fun. All I can say to the great staff at the Getaway Dinner is, Thank you, for all that you do.

quesadillas with sour cream

MOLD IN FOOD!! We were given a moldy quesadilla and the cook said maybe blue cheese had fallen into it. We are blue cheese fans and this was definitely not blue cheese. It stunk something terrible. It definitely WAS mold!

Empty restaurant and with good reason

Kids were hungry as we cruised up 87... I love diners, figured let's give it a try. Unfortunately,…read morethis place is dirty, food is average and is way overpriced. $3.75 for soda and most menu items are $20-$35. We spent over $70 ordering modestly for our family of 4, including two young kids... no appetizer, no dessert. An example of how ridiculous the pricing is: a hamburger is roughly $10. If you want to make it "deluxe" that'll be $8 extra for fries, a small thing with coleslaw and lettuce/tomato. Paying by credit card? They'll pass the transaction fee on to you. I think a place like this knows you won't get up and leave once you look at the menu and see the prices, which is why they get away with this kind of behavior. Judging by the scant few customers we saw, I suspect other people felt the same way... ripped off and not going back.

For a rainy day, comfort food was calling and Plaza D. on Main St in New Paltz took care of that…read more This diner has the typical old diner combination of booths, tables in the center of the room and a long sit-down counter. The words "mozzarella grilled cheese" plus "tomatoes" might not get you excited but, I'm a fan of that combo. I also ordered a Vanilla Egg Cream. I mean- it's a diner classic for good reason. My grilled cheese.+van. egg cream turned out to be the perfect pairing. A grilled cheese might be basic, have burnt bread slices and gets soggy quick, but Plaza's version oozed like nobody's business. The egg cream was another major hit. The milk+seltzer +vanilla syrup all mingled flawlessly. What's more, all the ingredients were perfectly chilled. I totally loved my lunch combo and it was quite the surprise considering the low rating here. The only issues I had were the $2 charge for tomato slices in my grilled cheese and the $6.50 for the sandwich itself when I can get it elsewhere for 4 bucks.

On my first review, I was just coming through for a quick bite. (Text: I was actually going to stop…read moreat the Italian place next door, since I'm not a big fan of diners, but I saw about 3 cars there and about 103 cars here, so I went with the popular choice. Glad I did.) Although I only had the souvlaki the first time, I noted friendly and attentive service by all, including the manager. The food came out fairly quickly given that I arrived during the peak lunch hour. The pita was the best pita I have ever eaten. The fries were up there with the best fries I have ever eaten. There was plenty of food for my money overall, and it was memorably delicious. So for this update, I finally went in for a full meal. I can offer the following updates: * I went during the dinner peak this time (I should say: just after a Hudson Valley Renegades game across the river), and service was MUCH slower to attend to us. Now, to be fair, I arrived with one person and we were waiting on a third, so I didn't expect them to rush to take or order until the third person arrived... but at least bring us water? Took like 15 minutes for that. * Shrimp pasta was delicious. But if you're smothering shrimp in sauce, please de-shell? Otherwise serve them on the side so I can do that myself. Annoying to have to sift through the sauce and clean my hands. * They did sub in pasta of my choice. * Carrot soup was OK, nothing special but it was the soup of the day vs. just a plain salad for my veggies. Desserts were on display but I was stuffed. Again, you will get plenty of food here. But try not to come at the same time as /everyone/ else.

We were attending a Medicare seminar, which was held in a private room. Very informative. They had dinner menu; not as extensive as the regular menu but, a satisfactory selection of entrées. I tried a hamburger. It was very juicy and flavorful. My friend tried the Cobb Salad. She was very satisfied with her choice. We will be definitely returning in the near future. There's plenty of parking. The restrooms are exceptionally clean.
