If you're looking for a basic, classic diner experience in, or near Cobleskill, you can't get much…read moremore spot-on than the Cobleskill Diner. We were visiting a relative in town and my wife, son and I took him for a late lunch at the diner. (Which we treated as breakfast, served all day. We were seated at a booth near the entrance...the upholstery needed a little help, and overall the place could use a little sprucing up. There's advertising on everything...the placemats, the coffee mugs, the glasses. At first, I thought it was a retro decor style choice until I realized all of these were featuring current local business ads. The coffee was okay. I've had worse but there was some flavor in it so it was a step above the "browned water" you can get at other places. The food was good enough for a classic diner experience. Not elevated in any way, but classic dishes served, well, classically. The breakfast potatoes were good and I was happy they were able to do egg whites without any question or up-charge in my breakfast. Portion sizes were okay. My teenage son needed to ask for an additional piece of French toast with his meal as he was still hungry after finishing the initial serving (with eggs and potatoes) We can chalk that up to a teenage appetite. I think the sweet-spot of the Cobleskill diner is the prices. They're low. You can get the same meal at diners in other places for twice the price. This makes it feel like a place that supports the local community. Our server was nice and took good care of us.

I ordered poached eggs over corned beef hash, rye toast and coffee My husband went with eggs over easy, a side of ham, rye toast and coffee All told, with a 30% tip, this came to $26. WHAT!!! In the town I live in that same amount of money would pay for ONE person's breakfast!

My mom and I went on a Sunday drive and got lost looking for a place, I know it's still possible to…read moreget lost in 2026. So glad that we did because we kept going and ended up at Apple Barrel Country Store. We were going to run in and ask for directions but were so charmed by the store, we decided to explore and eventually made our way to the restaurant. It was perfect timing for a late lunch and we requested to be seated outside on their deck overlooking the mountains of our beautiful state. Our server was the sweetest and took great care of us even though they were busy and seemingly short staffed. I ordered the AB combo with a choice of soup and sandwich and both my selections were so good. Corn chowder and Turkey sandwich. The blueberry mint lemonade I had was the perfect accompaniment. We made our way back to the store for some retail therapy and headed home after a lovely afternoon. The blueberry peach pie for dessert at home was so yummy.

This is my second visit to the store and cafe and I'm even more impressed than the first. The food…read moreand drinks were delicious. The atmosphere is quiet and relaxing while you're surrounded by nature. The store is charming and has something for everyone inside. I've only been for lunch both times, but I can't wait to return for dinner for a cocktail on the patio. One of my new favorites for sure.

From NC and wanted a quick late morning breakfast. Nice little mom & pops diner. Food was…read moredelicious, eggs cooked just right, bacon perfectly salted, and toast crispy and buttery. Ambiance was nice, could tell this was one of the locals favorite spots for Sunday brunch. Place was packed, but I still got good service. $14 total for a $8 meal, $4 pancake (enough pancake for 2 ppl), and a drink. Can't beat those prices.

Ok,granted this is definitely a hole in the wall diner. But,the food is always good. The staff is…read morealways friendly. And the prices are very reasonable. So if you want friendly service,great food and reasonable prices, you should consider this diner. I had the meatloaf with French fries and gravy. And a cup of stuffed pepper soup. Both were Very good. I overheard the server saying that they also serve Mac salad topped with gravy. I had already eaten my lunch so I'm saving that for next time. I've visited this diner more than a few times. Mostly breakfast and lunch. I haven't been disappointed yet. Thanks Ashly and the rest of the crew. This place is worth a try. Nothing fancy but a good meal to be had by all.

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.

By law you can't drive by this diner more than twice and not stop in for breakfast or lunch. Just…read moreget there early if possible if you are eating in, it's also good for take out if you are hitting the road. Set your expectation to 'diner' level and you will get far more than you expect out of each dish. It's also an over all pleasant environment with a great view and our door seating and service that gets you what you need.

The food was the worse, and it's not like it's the first time that I've felt this way, I have found…read morethat in the last past 5 years the food is getting worse every time, I haven't been there in probably 4 months prior to this last visit because it's been that nasty but I was really hoping that maybe they had gotten a new cook by now or something changed & because of very few choices in that area getting something to eat and when you are starving yet busy running errands in that area you settle for what is most convenient , I think at this point your probably better off going to stewards gas station, anyway I convinced my husband to give them one more try and he said to do what ? waste money on hoping not to get sick from eating afterwards! But he pulled in because I insisted that it's probably just a coincidence that it was horrible that last half dozen times, I was starving honestly so we went, we decided to get the simplest meal thinking that they possibly could not mess it up, breakfast for dinner, I got a omelette and if that's what you want to call it, it was basically rubber and I tried eating it without saying anything but after about five bites in I just couldn't play it off, I asked my husband how was his food, he got eggs and sausages and what ever the want to be potatoes things were, he said that he was pretty sure that his sausage was spoiled and he was worried that he would have food poisoning, I thought he was exaggerating , I smelled it and he was right something didn't smell right, he insisted that I taste it being I talked him into going there lol, yup it was definitely spoiled and his eggs were just as nasty as my food, we told the waitresses that the sausage was spoiled and the rest of the food was not edible and we didn't want the food, she said no problem and said that she would take it off the bill, she took $3 off the bill and we were charged around $45 for the rest of the food we didn't even eat and had her take away, my husband wanted to come unglued because he felt like we had to pay for something we didn't eat and wasn't edible but I asked him to just leave it alone it was my fault for thinking that we should stop and try them again, the waitress was nice and the service was good but the food and whatever is cooking it was definitely not worth giving them any more money and a chance to prove that they got a better cook, my husband said that he noticed that it was a younger guy back there cooking.well he needs to take a cooking class
