So happy to discover again. Delicious, hearty brunch, wide selection, attentive service and laid back vibe.

I've been here more times than I can count, mostly in the last few years but a handful of times over the past decade as well. The Sunday brunch is phenomenal; I can't remember a single time the hollandaise sauce wasn't spot on, and there must be a whole container of blueberries in the pancakes! Highly recommend "Buffy's Choice" for brunch. Even now when money's tight for everyone and prices everywhere are going up this place remains super affordable and reliably delicious. Great food and a great family and staff, there's no other way to put it. read more

My review is a reiteration of previous reviewers' comments. My wife and I went to High Falls Cafe for brunch after Sunday church service. She had lunch- a chicken spinach sandwich with french fries. I had breakfast- eggs Benedict with a side order of Irish banger sausage. My wife's diet Coke was flat. Ironically, she made this comment just as I was reading a previous reviewer's comment of their soda being flat. My wife's sandwich was "barely edible." My eggs Benedict were the worse eggs Benedict I've ever had. Mind you, i'm not a foodie. I'll eat anything. Their "homemade Hollandaise sauce" was bland and horrid. I agree with a previous reviewer who said that their cook has no taste buds. Lastly, as another reviewer posted, the only saving grace of our meal was the server. She was polite, attentive and professional. We won't be returning to High Falls Cafe. read more

The soda was flat. The French onion soup was disgusting. Onions were raw and the broth had zero flavor. They messed up our order and attempted to correct it but completely failed. The owner came Out to talk to us about adjusting our bill at our request BC we were overcharged. She had a huge attitude and started fighting with us over &4,00. I feel bad for her because she is delusional and thinks that she is serving good food but it's not at all. The only reason why this place is open is BC it's the only place for miles in the country. The best part about Our meal was the cute old man who chatted with us when we sat down. read more

Try the St. John Flatbread with blackened chicken! It was great. The atmosphere is nice. A pasta dish and a burger at our table were solid choices too. A nice portion Stella draft beer was a great choice. Our server was pleasant and competent. We'll go back to try a few more things for a more complete review. read more

No idea where these good reviews are coming from. The only thing tolerable about this place is the waitress. The rest of it is just sad. The chef has no taste whatsoever, the food did not only look unappetizing it also tasted like sad leftovers over salted or under salted things. Half the people in our group had stomachaches despite only finishing barely half their meal. read more

Three for dinner and music. Music was very good and loud but not stupid loud. Service was reasonably attentive but, clearly, amateurish; perhaps a daughter or niece. The food was OK but not impressive. The "Cowboy Nachos" were quite good, very generous (enough for the three of us) with nicely smoked pulled pork and tasty, mild cheese and peppers. "Salmon Puttanesca" entree presented as a small slice of nicely broiled salmon with the ingredients of puttanesca sauce over it. I know "puttanesca" as a tomato sauce, usually served over linguine. Here: Diced, fresh tomatoes, sauteed garlic and capers over the cooked fish. My wife - a superb, accomplished cook - reported the "Chicken Marsala" to be "very good." My niece - also an accomplished cook - reported the "Build Your Own Burger" as "fair." She ordered it rare, it arrived well done, sent back, it arrived back correctly done. Menu offered many beers, many salads. The atmosphere was upscale country bar/restaurant: Lots of varnished wood, simple but comfortable amenities, well stocked, circular bar, large TVs over the bar but not the seating area. Sound level (excluding the music) was moderately loud. The band and the dance floor was in one corner of the squarish building, un-elevated, the bar area in the opposite corner. Dinner: 3 beers, 1 appetizer, 3 entrees - $80. I would return for good music and dinner but not just for dinner; too many other, better choices in the Hudson Valley. read more

The food and staff are great but these owners are the best! They certainly know how to be respectful owners and run a wonderful business. A great asset to our community. And fun! Did I mention fun?!?! read more

I'm a regular at this local homestead for great brunch/lunch. Ok not everything on the menu is five star quality but a lot of the food is great. It wouldn't stay so packed if it wasn't. And if you aren't happy with the meal, they are more than happy to make it right or adjust the bill but that doesn't happen often. Owners, wait staff, bartenders are wonderful. Robin, the 'singing bartender' is the favorite and her Breakaway Band is so so good. Music is always fun period. The whole town goes there on New Years Day. And when they have Sunday jazz brunches it's awesome. Love the cafe! read more

Top notch food and awesome atmosphere! Owner is a real cool down to earth guy and super friendly. The burgers are out of this world as well as the sweet potato fries! Good beer selection on tap and a fantastic bar. Cool patio for drinking/dining. Also a plus that its set right on a golf course. Even if i didn't golf i would come here regularly cause the menu is awesome! read more

If my review was based off Casey, it would be 5 stars. I went to her at the bar for my drinks and she was kind, courteous, and an excellent bartender. However, our waitress got my beer wrong as well as my entree. She then offered me a pasta dish instead of a salad, because she hit the wrong button. This wouldn't be an issue - if it wasn't 30 minutes after the rest of the table received their meal. I would come here on a night nothing else is going on, or you might miss out on your dinner. read more

Although my last few dining experiences were not good, we decided to give it another try last night. It'll be the last. The food coming out of kitchen makes any local diner look like a five star restaurant. The meatloaf, mashed potatoes were tasteless. Swanson's TV dinners are better. I sent back my so-called tuna steak, it was a hard gray mass, obviously a grilled frozen patty. The pasta was overcooked, drowning in tasteless sauce. The restaurant wasn't crowded but the waitress seemed to be in a rush to remove our plates. Maybe she knew what we were suffering with? She kept coming over and putting her hands on our plates and asking, "Are you finished?". Yes, we are finished. The High Falls Cafe remains a good music venue but the menu and kitchen need an overhaul. read more

Meh, our server was great, very patient and upbeat, but the food was disappointing. Soups were not good, premade burger patties were overcooked and so hot inside I'm pretty sure they were microwaved. read more

Came in for the Tuesday burger & beer special and ordered the Blue Mountain burger -- delicious! Burger was cooked perfectly and the melted blue cheese with the sautéed mushrooms was just what I wanted. Curly fries were a nice side, and the beer selection was great. Wonderful service and view as well! read more

I really like this restaurant. The service is great, and the food is high quality and affordable. It is a great local option for High Falls and the area. I recommend visiting if you have a chance. read more

Great food and fun place to hang out. Best breakfast I've ever had. I won't order hollandaise from any other restaurant because theirs is outstanding and I've learned that no others can compare. Great burgers and wings. The garlic parmesan wings are my favorite -- literally have chunks of fresh garlic on them and the sauce is delicious. Also the cajun turkey sandwich is another favorite. read more

Friday night, Wine Tasting Dinner at the Cafe. Owner/Chef Brian Gribbons displayed his true talent, creating a 6 course meal that was excellent in every way. The accompanying wines were delicious and served in abundance by a staff of experienced servers. All this for $45? My friends from Australia who joined me that night were totally impressed. While the regular menu has something for everyone, whether it be hearty burgers, an excellent choice of salads or a more complex entree, this meal was truly special. Kudos Mr. Gribbons. read more
