We stepped in here while on a road trip and was charmed. This is a small but fantastic old-school diner, run by hardworking owners who welcomed us warmly and led us to an open booth. The space inside feels about as wide as a railroad car but as homey as a local gem can get. The menu reads like a classic diner's, with everything from breakfast to dessert. I ordered the Hungry Man Special, which comes with a stack of pancakes, two eggs, bacon AND sausage, and home fries. For $16, this was an enormous value and practically a wealth of food. My husband ordered the chicken salad, and they were more than amenable to his ask for grilled chicken instead of the menu-standard crispy. The chicken was tender and cut into easy-to-eat strips. Everything was well cooked and got to our table within minutes of ordering. Service remained fantastic throughout, and judging from the friendly conversations around me, it's clear that there were lots of regulars and return visitors. Definitely step in if you're in the area and in search of dependably good food. read more

Stepping into New Munson Diner on Lake Street in Liberty feels like stepping into a local gem that perfectly blends old-school diner charm with a menu that's surprisingly versatile. My visit on August 30, 2025, left me with the kind of satisfaction that only a solid diner experience can deliver--one that makes you want to return just to try more of the menu. To start, the garlic bread with marinara was exactly what you'd hope for in diner comfort food: warm, golden-brown edges with just the right crunch on the outside and a soft, buttery center. The garlic wasn't overwhelming, and dipping it into the tangy marinara added that classic, crave-worthy touch. It was the kind of simple appetizer that sets the right tone for what's to come. The Santa Fe Wrap was a highlight--grilled chicken cooked to a juicy tenderness, paired with creamy avocado that balanced beautifully against the smoky bacon. The cheddar added sharpness, while the lettuce and tomato kept it fresh and crisp. It's a hearty, flavor-packed wrap that manages to feel indulgent without being heavy, something you could happily order for either lunch or dinner. On the spicier side, the Buffalo Chicken Wrap brought a zesty kick. The buffalo sauce was bold and tangy, just spicy enough to wake up the taste buds without overwhelming them. The blue cheese inside mellowed the heat, adding a cool creaminess that tied the whole wrap together. Each bite felt satisfying, with the wrap itself holding everything neatly--a small detail, but an important one when you're eating something saucy and bold. Service throughout the meal was friendly and efficient, with staff that seemed genuinely attentive without being overbearing. The diner itself has that cozy, casual atmosphere you want in a local spot--welcoming and lively without being too noisy. Value-wise, the generous portions and solid flavors made the price point feel more than fair. Overall, I'd give New Munson Diner a strong 4 stars--a reliable, tasty stop with plenty of menu options to keep you coming back. The wraps in particular stand out as fresh, flavorful choices, and paired with a shareable appetizer like the garlic bread, you've got yourself a diner meal that's both comforting and satisfying. read more

This place is a home run anytime! Picture a true Greek diner in your head, a huge menu, friendly staff with brilliant smiles, customers that are greeted by nam and you have the new Munson diner. I stop in for coffee but ended up with the eggs Benedict. Perfectly poached eggs a top Canadian bacon and a lovely English muffin topped with their homemade hollandaise sauce "the perfect storm". Not to forget that the coffee was insanely good. Rich and hot with unlimited refills. It truly is wonderful to find great coffee that you're not paying 8$ a cup for! My friend works in the area and swears by this place and now I know why. I. A people watcher and I noticed that no table is to big. They have a huge seating area that is inside but looking out on the enclosed deck, 12 people no problem! 1 person just a good. Everyone knows each other because this place is a hidden gem if you're not local. If you are in the area stop in and get a wonderful meal no matter what time of day!! read more

Old school diner. Service was great. Owner was in the building, coming around with coffee refills and saying hello. Sweet. Food was typical of diner food, with an enormous menu, with so many options. Food came out hot, and fast. Reasonable prices. They have merch and lots of pastry on the counter. Wait staff was lovely. read more

If you are in Liberty New York, then this is the place you need to stop to grab something to eat. A perfect diner experience in a classic New York diner that has been around since the 40's. This diner was originally in New York City on 11th Ave. and 49th St. and 2006. They relocated it to upstate New York what a cool way to keep a piece of history going. I ordered breakfast for lunch and it was cooked to perfection. I hope you get a chance to check it out read more

New Munson Diner - Christmas Decorations - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Liberty, New York

Second time coming in while on vacation in Liberty. Safe to say that the New Munson is a regular during our visits. What can I say? You just won't go wrong with New Munson Diner. You'll be greeted by the owner and seated at a booth or at a table in the back for bigger parties. Super chill place with great variety. I've always ordered from "CHRISTO'S CORNER" on the menu and everything has been a hit. The Lemon soup is superb, and the Spanakopita and Pastitsio is delicious. Both hearty in their portions. My husband ordered the chicken club and kids had the chicken tender plate. Best meal in Liberty, NY! read more

New Munson Diner - Pastitsio - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Liberty, New York

Great environment and good food. Definitely has a nostalgic "diner" vibe and a decent view of Liberty.

great service and employees Food was more than tasty and prices were reasonable considering the area and time.

We had just hiked in the Catskills with our foster dog. Through Yelp, with the "dog allowed" filter on, this is where we ended up. They were so nice to accommodate our foster dog and we even sat inside and they brought her water. Our server was excellent and the food was delicious. This was the second time we've been here (first time no dog). We will come back whenever we are hiking in the area. So much better than Yiasou Cafe down the road which has an outdoor eating area but refused to let us sit with our dog. read more

Food was ok, service was good. BUT... only one restroom! The port-a-potty in the parking lot doesn't count. The place needs a good cleaning. The table had been wiped but was sticky. The floors, especially at the edges, had built up crud. The place just didn't feel clean. read more

Very cute place. Had a pancake breakfast. Everything was fantastic. Enjoyed the service and cute American diner.

To say I was surprised to find this gem is an understatement. Thanks to Yelp I have uncovered my new favorite diner on my way to and from the Hudson Valley. Once inside this very cool old diner, we were warmly greeted and immediately felt at home. The menu is so extensive that if I ate here every day for a year, I think I would be able to have a different meal each day. Heck, if I lived nearby, I just might try that. At 12 pm on a Saturday, the place was lively and had a steady stream of happy diners. This is a real Greek diner with a real diner menu, including a Greek food section. To make it even more authentic, there is a case of assorted baked goods (huge cake slices, pies, parfaits and puddings). This place reminds me of my early life in NJ where Greek diners had the best food and nobody left hungry. I ordered the Greek sample platter which consisted of a fresh and feta laden Greek salad topped with fried cheese, pita, dolmas and falafel. I could only eat half since with my Yelp check-in, I got a large order of fries free! The fries were perfect...served hot and not greasy. Tasted like real potatoes. My husband got the club sandwich which he loved, and got a slice of blueberry cheesecake to go. It was delicious. We are still talking about this place and hope to become regulars. read more

New Munson Diner - Deserts! Say no more! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Liberty, New York

If you like diners, this is a great classic-style diner. The owner is very nice and personable, chats with patrons as they come in. The food adheres to the classic diner style, on the quality side of the spectrum, and indeed some of the restaurant style dishes one normally might be hesitant to order at a diner are prepared better than at plenty of decent restaurants, attesting to the owner's Greek cooking background. The desserts are on point and delectable. read more

Great service not fancy but the food is great big portions decent prices. If you like Greek food this place serves some of the best!

This diner was very good/great and we are super glad we found it! The food was great and the staff was top notch. Friendly. Helpful. Accommodating. Just great service. We had originally stopped at Liberty diner but as we were attempting to enter there was a line with people waiting to be sat and another line with many people waiting to pay. People were rolling their eyes and obviously frustrated. Another party came out as we were at door and said don't even bother - that she had been there over 2 hours and didn't get her food. The rest of the line looked at the outburst and shook head to concur. We then went down the street to New Munson diner and we're really pleased. The Greek salad was small portion for the price and didn't look like the picture. There was Feta cheese - but not a lot... not a log or huge block like in picture. The salad didn't have much lettuce and had 1 or 2 tomatoes and 1 sliced cucumber. For over $10, I would expect MUCH more. Luckily we ordered a club sandwich to split - the turkey bacon. It was really good and huge plus lots of fries on the side. Good portion and great taste and then the star of the show was the French toast with fresh fruit. The plate came out and I wish I had taken a picture. Bananas blueberries strawberry's were plentiful and covering beautifully cooked and large French toast pieces. It tasted as good as it looked and Syrup was tasty, too. Coffee was very good, food was good (besides the portion of salad), and the staff was stellar! Host was friendly on way in and out and showed a genuine care/interest in our satisfaction! Easily 5 stars and would recommend and return! read more

Delicious, great service, a perfect local home-style dining spot when visiting the Catskills (near Bethel Woods if you're headed there).

We'll try out the new Munson diner more like a little hole in the wall type of spot not trendy or flashy but nice. The staff was excellent and attentive to our needs . Inside the restaurant was very small and tightly packed in table space is very limited. We all had the fresh made burgers they were supposed to Be there own beef mix , good but not better then my favorite diner in New Jersey broad st dinner in Keyport nj . My sister in law had the fish and chips . Which she said they were good . The best part of this spot was the staff was excellent and the prices were very reasonable. This diner was in movies and tv shows such as KOJACK . There a plaque on the wall that tells the whole story, pretty cool place for average for food a diner read more

While the food was good and typical diner fare... holy hell the wait man! This diner is tucked a bit away from 17 and it is one of the smaller scale diners, not the turbo, 3-room variety. In thinking that, we figured two iced coffees and two orders of eggs would prob be a win-winas. Coffee came out but then we sat and waited for at least 30 mins for eggs. EGGS. Yes, it was a full house for the most part but there are only tables that fit 5 max and like I said, it's small beans in there so what the hell took so long?! In trying to get the check to bounce outta there, that took another 15 mins and two reminders to the waiter. I don't blame him though bc I realized he was flustered due to misplacing our paper, handwritten check. It was $28 and I gave him a ten-spot tip just for being there. Next time I would unfortch skip this diner and try out another spot. read more

We were a party of 10 and wanted to make sure the diner could take care of us. We called them and they said, come on over. They have a enclosed deck/patio which serves as a party room. The staff was very friendly and accommodating . After we ordered, they brought some complementary wine. Food was fresh, plenty and tasty. Great experience. Highly recommend. read more

Cristo was extremely accommodating. Food came out fast and quick. Coffee did the trick.

This is a great little diner with fun decor, good service, and simple food at great prices. We go every couple of weeks for lunch. I usually get the burger or a caesar wrap with fries and have never had any complaints. The quality is consistent. The service is always friendly and fast, and we get a kick out of the Seinfeld decor. Only reason I went with 4 stars instead of 5 is that every time we're in there the owner is yelling at the servers. It's not easy to keep things running smoothly in a busy diner, but the servers do a great job and it's a bummer to see that they're treated like that! read more

Amazing place to eat. Greek food so delicious. The waitress was super friendly. Everyone was so friendly. We will be back.

As someone who spent a lot of time on the west side of Manhattan in the 80s and 90s I was absolutely shocked to see this diner when I was in upstate New York. I remember passing this place on 11th avenue many a late night and seeing all the craziness that was going on around and in it. From the moment I walked in until the moment I walked out I felt like I was incredibly welcomed. I ended up having a little bit of a conversation with what I assume was the owner's son and he was a really nice guy. I was there to get some burgers for my mom and I is staying in the nearby nursing home and has been absolutely miserable with the food there. She was over the moon about the cheeseburger I got her it was quite good. I had the hamburger deluxe and that was also very good. There's nothing nicer than a family-owned business that actually knows what they're doing and cares about the people walking through their door and this place is that for sure. I tried other diners in the area and I didn't feel nearly as welcome and certainly didn't enjoy the food as much. The long and short of it is I would strongly recommend this diner over any other diner in the surrounding area because the food is good and the people who run the place are very friendly and welcoming. It also helps that they're 2A friendly and have a sign in the window indicating that legitimate concealed carriers are more than welcome. Keep up the good work. read more
