It was my birthday, and this place was just down the street from my Airbnb, so I decided to go out to breakfast. The place is clean and bright, and everybody was friendly. The menu, as in most diners, was very large. However, one item stuck out on the menu to me. Birthday cake, pancakes! Yes, please! I put in my order, it comes quickly, and I got three *YUUUUUUUGE* fluffy pancakes with lots of yummy whipped cream.. They were light, they were fluffy, they were not gummy in the middle, and you could definitely taste the birthday cake flavor. . I had them with a couple of eggs that were perfectly over easy. I also had coffee, and the coffee was delicious. There was no way I could finish that breakfast, so I took a little less than half back to my Airbnb for later, and they reheated perfectly. A great breakfast for a very reasonable price. I will have to come back to try more items. Thank you read more

Ordered the Chicken Napoleon excited about the onion rings, well guess what? It did not come with them,not even on the sandwich. I called and couldn't get an explanation so I was stuck with bland french fries. read more

Solid diner option! No frills and something for everyone on the menu. We ordered of course many lunch options none of which were bad. The gyro platter was enormous and delicious. French toast was simple. The winner for me was the Greek salad with dolmas. Generous portion, fresh ingredients and delicious Greek dressing. The French fries were also crispy crusty and delicious! read more

What a nice little find driving on route 9W. There is plenty of parking at this cozy little diner. The interior was clean and spacious. Even though I was party of one, I was given a table instead of asked to sit at the counter, which I appreciated. The service was great. Very attentive and helpful with the menu. The food was good. I had the chicken souvlaki. Was tasty and had lots of crispy fries. All in all, very good. read more

Port Ewen Diner - Diners Near Me - Port Ewen, New York

The best homemade soups and breakfast. Service is kind and prompt. Food is homemade and plentiful. Coffee is good...desserts yummy!

The food here is underwhelming, even for a local diner. I'd like to say that they make up for it in hospitality but that's where it gets worse... when a blizzard hit my daughter pulled into the parking lot waiting for us to come get her-too afraid to continue driving, upon closing early they let her know that they would tow the car and she couldn't leave it there. She called me hysterically crying. Truly awful people-not a good move when you depend on business from local residents. Maybe make up for your terrible food by asking a customer and neighbor if they need any help in the middle of a blizzard? I will never spend a dime in that place again. read more

Chicken sandwich on hard roll was just meh. Roll was cold and not very fresh. Chicken pounded incredibly thin. Fries and service were really good though. read more

Clean and cozy, friendly staff, fast service and great food. The home fries were perfectly cooked, the bacon was light and crispy and the bagels were big and fresh read more

Giving the Port Ewen Diner the stars it deserves. I am however an employee and have been for 6 years. Reading a few reviews that were claiming the diner has changed since the "new ownership" are incorrect. The food has not changed. The service has not changed. Like every business, we are not perfect, but we are definitely worth the stop! read more

Great diner. Came here once for a breakfast meeting and everything was on point. Came back with company for a burger and fries and have to say the fries rivaled any I've had in the area and the burger met all expectations-juicy and cooked to order. read more

Where do I begin. Place draws a lot of regulars who give you a stare down when you walk in and heaven forbid you sit in one of regular booth. One guy cursed me out for sitting in his booth!! This happens three time and staff never cared that he cursed at me. Have to wait and wait to get a check from waitress! Today was the last straw.Ordered two egg sandwiches to go, got to work and the one "sandwich " was two pieces of English Muffen" no egg no bacon and not even buttered. read more

I think there was a very serious situation in the kitchen, either a cockroach or rodent infestation! They were rude and abrupt and kicked me out(after I spent $25) to spray chemicals around the diner. I would have gone somewhere else had they told me I was going to be kicked out before I got my entree. I was treated poorly, and the food wasn't that great. I won't go back. read more

I moved to the area last year and finally popped into the local diner. Immediately impressed by how clean and bright and roomy it is. They have your typical big diner menu. I ordered breakfast at 3 pm! Perfectly prepared eggs and bacon. Coffee was tasty and the waitress kept my cup filled. Very friendly service. This will be a regular spot for me now. read more

First time my wife and I stopped for dinner. I had the special of the day, linguine in red clam sauce. It was excellently lined with many small, sweet littlenecks covered with a mild red sauce with chopped clams. Very fresh and generous. Among the best l have had. My wife's roast beef dinner was likewise very good- tender beef and homemade mashed potatoes. Great price and great. We visited again on June 8th for lunch. My wife had the ham/Swiss panini and I had the chicken salad in a croissant, including turkey rice soup. All was excellent- freshly made and certainly a cut above other local diners. Prices were very reasonable too. read more

I went in for a quick bite this morning, juggling the baby of course. I figured an everything bagel, toasted with cream cheese would be quick and easy. I even got it to go since since the only seats available were at the bar. It finally came out, after quite a wait. I paid and left. Sitting in the case I opened it up and the bagel was dark to say the least. They hadn't even spread the cream cheese. It was literally just a slice off a block, thrown on. I wrapped it back up and will now be heading somewhere else for breakfast. As for the staff, I'm used to diners having that open, friendly staff. The women working all acted like they didn't want to be there. Not out right rude, but definitely not friendly. read more

Goods ok. Nothing is ever consistent they usually forget stuff. And on top of that the women that work there, and always has attitude, especially when they messed up on the order they'll be mad at you. They're kind of slow like a lot of old women work there. You don't know how to take an order because every five seconds, they'll be like hold on.lol read more

Not a huge place (probably less than half the size of the Broadway Lights diner in Kingston), but the food is good and reasonably priced. However: NOTE they are closed for a couple of weeks. There is a sign out front advertising that they have new owners and will reopen in October (2013). I see they are doing some renovations. Will come back to report on the changes. read more

Great everything! Turkey club is my favorite. Get it once a week. Fast fresh and friendly is best described! AWESOME

We got gyros for take out tonight, and they were delicious! The meat was good quality, and the veggies on top were fresh. It even had some yummy pickle slices and coleslaw on the side. The fries were good too. I would go here again to check out the other menu items. read more

Flying in from Florida to visit my boyfriends family this long weekend and we found this cute little diner that is only a few miles away. I went with my boyfriend and children. Incredible experience. My daughter has several allergies and they helped with every dish I needed. My other daughter was sensitive to the lights and we were quickly moved to a more dimmed location but not far away from other human interaction. read more

As diners go around here it's definitely has a lot going for it. We had a great breakfast here so we came back for dinner and it was totally different. The staff was subpar at night and the food was eh --it's gonna be a back burner thought for us read more

I went here again apparently the waitress knew one of the members of party the food wasn't that great like it was before when I went with someone else the service was indifferent. read more

Good eggs and potatoes for breakfast. Service was attentive. Not a fan of the heavy-handed religious decor, music and theme throughout the diner. read more

Came for a late lunch @ 2:30. Was seated and then had to listen to the waitress and what I assume was the manager argue in the dining room. This was VERY unprofessional. The order was made wrong, and the tuna melts were beyond soggy. I only gave two stars because the french fries were amazing. A very disappointing experience all the way around! read more

Port Ewen Diner - Our waitress, and one of the parties in the argument. - Diners Near Me - Port Ewen, New York

Came here for dinner three weeks ago, and while the staff was somewhat courteous, the food was far feom edible. I had an open roast beef sandwich, which is something I like to try at most diners along with the corned beef Reuben. roast beef came out dry, in fact so dry , that no amount of gravy in the world would save it. the potatoes equally as dry and stiff , perhaps they were from the night before? I didn't want to send it back but I also didn't eat more than three bites and when I told the waitress about it, she said that she was sorry but they could not take it off the bill! and did not offer to get me anything else... I decided to give this place the benefit of the doubt and get a corned beef Reuben. never again. I have never been so sick in my entire life, epic food poisoning and although I hate bash an eating establishment since I have been a waitress/bartender for 30+ years, and given the fact that my friend who also ate with me that day was DEATHLY sick too (from a cheeseburger ) . . . . I strongly advise caution if you really want to eat here, unless you have paid sick time from work. read more

Port Ewen Diner - Beef Goulash, huge!!! - Diners Near Me - Port Ewen, New York

Since changing ownership it's not even close to what it used to be, I'm a local who used to frequent this diner. The quality of the food is not good at all and the food isn't prepared that well. Maybe if they didn't use cheap fries, breads, and greens they could put together a halfway decent dish but for now I won't be returning. It's highly unlikely the owners are actually tasting the food if they did they wouldn't serve it, its terrible read more

Best place to eat! The food is well made and comes out quickly. The wait staff is friendly and very accommodating. I like the "Zing" for breakfast-huge bagel, smoked salmon, cream cheese and all the fixings. We like the French fries, too and the Gyro is just GREAT. This is their Fifth Anniversary and they gave out free raffle tickets to everyone to celebrate. These are local folks. Been there for breakfast and lunch, not dinner, yet. We have even had small family gatherings there. Love them! read more

Just having moved to Ulster County from Brooklyn, of course we needed a new go-to diner. PE Diner is it. Great diner food, daily specials, no-problem attitude, your coffee cup never runs dry. Ellen, at the front desk, Sandy, serving, and all the gang make you feel right at home. Gary & Lisa are the gracious owners. read more

Fantastic food at great prices. Soups are home made and delicious. Servers are friendly and professional.

Amaziiiiingggg beer battered fish and shrimp. We also had the crab filled fish filet and was delicious as well. Tiny place full of flavor!!!!! Great prices too:) read more

Compared to most diners in the general mid-hudson valley, Port Ewen Diner's got a lot going for it. Friendly service, well-cooked not too oily brunch/lunch/dinner fare. I still miss my NY-style diner "Stop Inn" (in Queens) but Port Ewen is more than an acceptable alternative. read more

This restaurant is a diamond-in-the-rough in the heart of the Hudson Valley along Route 9W in the Town of Port Ewen a couple miles South from Kingston, New York. Lisa and Gary Zwerdling are the local proprietors. Their restaurant is super clean and the servers know their job to make the patron very satisfied in there choices. The diner has a wonderful "home town" atmosphere, with price point very reasonable. My favorite dish was the chicken-cordon-blue and has the Best ground coffee in the Valley! Great venue!! read more

Food was excellent serve quicker than I was expected . The restroom was very clean ( OCD much ) Highly recommend read more

What a great diner! My meal, sausage biscuits and gravy, came with eggs and home fries for the same price as other diners charge for just the biscuits and gravy. Great value! The home fries were crispy and delicious! Our server was courteous and attentive, the coffee fresh, and the atmosphere clean. We had a positive experience! read more

I ordered a BLT to go, was asked, "on toast?" No thank you. Received BLT on toast w a side of coleslaw and no fork and no napkins. Listen to what is ordered and cooks read what is ordered. Recommend, NO! I paid good money on something I didnt ask for! If driving by Port Ewen Diner, keep on driving! I wouldnt give any stars but had to give at least one to post this review. read more
