    Seat with a view

    We were on our way home and needed to stop for breakfast. Gracie's Luncheonette came up as close by. It turned out to be a great call to stop and eat there. They gave us a window seat with an amazing view. The food was really good and the service was great. My husband had the full breakfast and I had the waffle with berries and bananas. Before we left, we bought donuts that they sell as well. Amazing!

    Wow, just wow. Gracie's Luncheonette is a gem of a restaurant. With a super fun and innovative menu--and food that delivers on incredible flavor, I was super impressed. The French toast sticks are 9 out of 10-crispy and absolutely delicious. The hash browns with roe and crème fraiche and a side of lox was also super tasty from 8 out of 10. So so so good. Can't wait to go back and try more items.

    This review is for take-out donuts. Wow, totally worth the price and visit. Are they hipstery? Are they too much? Well, I live in Brooklyn, so I guess to me, they are regular donuts! Anyway, the family selected chocolate sea salt, strawberry sprinkles, cookie dough, and apple fritter (for me - I was trying to decide between that, the classic Boston Cream, and a maple bacon long john. The gentleman doling out the donuts said - do the apple fritter. Super fresh and will melt in your mouth.) I did not taste the kids donuts, but I loved my fritter and a bite of the sea salt (spouse choice) was quite tasty. The fritter had a lot of apple in it, so it felt 5% more healthy. :) They are also pretty big, so it took the kids three attempts to finish them. We will definitely visit again - and maybe try real food next time!

    Gluten free Monte Cristo!

    A WONDERFUL AND DELICIOUS GEM! I am getting married in the area in 2027, so my fiance and I wanted to try some of the local restaurants and cafes. Gracie's is a beautiful, clean, and welcoming environment, but I must say I was SHOCKED at how delicious, curated, and creative the menu is! As a Celiac girl, I am used to having very limited options when dining out, especially in diners, cafes, and smaller towns. Not only did Gracie's have tons of gluten free options, but they BAKE THEIR OWN GF BREAD! I had the most delicious Tuna melt I've ever had in my life (they use actual tuna steaks, not the canned stuff), and my family and friends enjoyed items like the mac and cheese, biscuits and gravy, banana fritter, and other assorted baked goods. We loved our lunch so much...we went back the next day for brunch! And OMG, the magic continued. I had a Monte Cristo for the first time in almost a decade (it's never a gluten free option), and it was spectacular. We will absolutely be returning to Gracie's for our post-wedding family brunch. We would also like to have Gracie's cater breakfast for our wedding day! I cannot recommend this place enough. Thank you, Gracie's!

    What a lovely and unknowing location! My husband and I seeked out a drivable brunch place so here we were and it was great. We got seated right away, staff were pleasant and the location was ultimate. The Bloody Marys were spicy and decently strong. I had the chicken fried steak and asked for poached eggs. Unfortunately this was where they lost the star as the eggs were basically hard boiled and I look forward to runny eggs. My husband had the brisket hash and ate every bite. We also got 4 large donuts on the way out. Wish they gave us 2 boxes as the donuts are so big they smeared the frosting all over the inner lid of the box. Will definitely return!

    I've been wanting to visit Gracie's forever and I finally got the chance! Needless to say, it totally lived up to the hype. I went on a Sunday morning with my boyfriend and we were sat immediately. It's such a cute spot and looks like a classic soda fountain. Their bakery case is the first thing you see when you walk in and it's filled to the brim with delicious donuts and baked goods. We started with a hot coffee and an iced coffee with their pumpkin cold foam. Both were fantastic! For our meals, I ordered the brisket hash with a homemade biscuit and my boyfriend got the full breakfast with an everything bagel. Both dishes were incredible! The hash was absolutely delicious. Our waitress was so kind and attentive - literally everything about our visit was perfect. I also ordered a slice of their pumpkin cake to go and that was incredible too. Highly recommend!

    Really liked this place! This isn't just a diner. You can tell the effort, care, and creativity that go into the dishes. My wife had the Cobb salad. It was fresh, and you can check the photo. It's pretty much what you'd expect. I had the Gracie's burger, which was two patties, lots of carmelized onions, pickles, and "truck sauce." It came with nice, crispy shoestring French fries and ketchup. You might find it weird that I mention the ketchup. But it's homemade ketchup and it just might be the highlight of the meal! I am not a fan of ketchup, but this actually tasted like fresh tomatoes, and was pulpy. It just might be what the Barenaked Ladies call "Dijon ketchup." Check out the drinks list because there is a lot of interesting options. The sodas are also made in-house. I had the root beer, and my wife had something called coffee fizz. Root beer was good, the coffee fizz (strong coffee with seltzer) was very weird at first, but by the end of the meal, she had come around to it. I would definitely come back to check out more dishes.

    We stopped at Gracie's on a trip upstate on a whim. It was delicious. The place is so cute, very well taken care of and the food was all delicious! They have unique items like a cherry rickey drink- house baked cookies and sweets and delicious food options. The service was good and the ambiance was very nice. I would certainly stop by again if I was in the area- and recommend to anyone in the area!

    Vibe: 8.5/10 - beautiful views and very clean! Service: 7/10 Value: 7.5/10 Full breakfast: 9/10 Breakfast burger: 9/10 Milkshake: 9/10 Overall: 8.3/10 (4.2/5) [To clarify our review system: 10 = we'll never have anything else as good as this in our lives (we use 10 very sparingly!) 9 = extraordinary 8 = great 7 = above average 6 = average Anything below 6 is being critical]

    Full breakfast and buttermilk waffle
    Jairo T.

    What an amazing find! Truly enjoyed our experience and Gracie's. Beautifully decorated inside with a large pick of bfast items and donuts. What else can you ask for. Quaint view of the landscape towards the back of the restaurant. Seats large groups. Had the full bfast and #3 Buttermilk pancakes. Big farm-to-table feel. Tatsy indulgence without the inevitable crash you get at other places. Favorites were the biscuit and waffle, although wished the waffle could've been a bit crispier but thats just personal preference. We also took a maple donut to go-- so good. Staff on floor and bakery were very nice. Only qualm was that there was too much ice in the iced coffee with minimal pumpkin flavor. Otherwise, fantastic find!

    After a few pastries from @catskillmountainbakery, I had a lunch date for a post holiday, gut-busting lunch as usual. Gracie's is a great option when you are in the Catskill or Cairo area. Particularly, their donuts but I'm here for lunch today. Hipster trendy diner feel with hipster trendy food, where everything is delicious and made in house. Expect to pay more for the quality of preparation and ingredients. Lazy Devils (deviled eggs), a hot-stuffed pretzel (artichoke and spinach), shrimp & grit fritters, mashed potatoes with gravy, and a tuna melt with poutine: $81 including a few drinks and tip. Tuna is made in house not from a can. Definitely grab a few donuts on the way out as they are the best around. They do take the Ulster Eateries VIP Card for 10% off.

    Super cute breakfast or lunch spot! We had a bigger group so got to try a little of everything which I much enjoyed! The donuts and the special daily hot stuffed pretzel (spinach artichoke) were out of this world and a perfect little sharing appetizer. I had the veggie burger which came looking a little deflated honestly but was absolutely delicious and flavorful. I loved the fresh skinny french fries, too! Also heard very positive things about the breakfast hash and the chicken biscuit! Service was a bit lackluster but the food spoke for itself. Gracie's is great cozy spot with something for everyone!

    Love this place. It has a pretty comprehensive breakfast and lunch menu with am amazing arrays of donuts. I love their hot jelly wings, a bit southern and the hot jelly gives is a "thai" twist of sweet and spicy like sauce but not blatantly Asian. The loaded potato soup was superb and the elevated hash brown with smoked trout and salmon roe was delicious. Their chicken biscuit sandwich is always the right choice and I loved their version of fish and chips. More tempura airy battered fish than crumbly deep fried. Always get an array of donuts and share. Love their pistachio and the toasted coconut cream. They also had spinach and artichoke stuffed pretzel, which was perfectly for breakfast the next day. They have an area with a bar diner feel where you can eat alone and a big open and light filled dining area for bigger groups. The service has always been amazing. They are friendly, efficient and honest about the menu and their current favorites. Always great to have servers that know the menu.

    Truly transcendent mexican food with a focus on innovation and local flair driven by Hudson valley…read moreingredients. The space is beautiful, ingredients are all fresh and outstanding, and there's clearly a love for the spot from everyone working at Casa Susanna. The cocktail menu is unique and fun. Yes you could get a margarita, but everything on the menu is so interesting from Raicilla drinks to Carajillos, there's so much to love. The space feels like a film set and you need to make sure you get a reservation so you can enjoy rather than sitting outside or at the bar. Surprisingly reservations were harder to come by than expected the weekend I was there. The dishes are all great, with the Duck being my standout dish, just perfectly cooked and really exemplifying the beauty of Hudson Valley + Mexican cuisine. The tetela was also a real standout despite the simplicity of the dish. It leaned into good mexican food, withou ttrying to do too much. Each and every cocktail was fun and good! We'll be back, but not too often. The prices are high, and match the quality of the ingredients, but at $100 a person or more, it was not cheap.

    Since they are already finalists, according to James Beard, I'll spend this review explaining more…read morewhy I only gave it three stars. The food in general was well prepared, delicious and certainly had a sophisticated knowledge of spicing in flavoring. But it's more the minor details that stops an experience from being a really wonderful one. So here are some details, you may think I'm crazy or you may relate. The first was coffee: they didn't have decaf and they don't have half-and-half. I'm not going to speculate why, but for quite a few of us decaf is a true pleasure and it'd be nice to have that available. To the waitresses credit she offered to bring me milk and cream, so I could make my own half-and-half? That was a first! The second was the hot chocolate: the actual hot chocolate was quite delicious, Mexican style with some cinnamon. But it was topped with a mountain of whipped cream and some small crunchy pieces. I think it's pretty standard nowadays that when you're going to top a drink like that the staff tends to ask whether you like whipped cream or not. I really dislike whipped cream so had to scoop all that stuff off. The next one was just simply funny: when you're ordering a side order of eggs, one option they list on the menu is a sunny side up egg, one of the other options is to have a "fried egg". I asked the waitress what exactly a fried egg was, she didn't know. She asked the chef, and apparently they didn't know either. So I ordered it over easy, hoping that was doable, but I just got a sunny side up egg instead. And lastly, was the ambience: the space is quite nice and comfortable, but if you're sitting in the outer ring near the windows and it's a very cold winter day (which it was when we ate) expect to be cold in there. They kindly offered to hang our coats, but I had to keep mine on the whole time. Maybe if the insulation and heating system is unable to keep up, you bring in a couple space heaters for the day?

The service was done in a way that I like the most which is professional very nice very knowledgeable, but also not overbearing. The food was excellent: we experimented with two appetizers, the roasted carrots that were very generous and very delicious, and a white trout dip that was fresh and also very delicious. I love seafood so very excited to get fresh seafood here! For the main I had a grilled black bass that was incredible, cooked to perfection. My wife had one of their vegetarian offerings - a zucchini pasta - that was also very flavorful. The portions were so generous that we didn't have room for dessert, but we did spy the cheesecake at the table next to ours which looked yummy and also a very generous portion.
