The character at this place is off the charts! It definitely has a vintage appeal, but I am talking authentic vintage like the chairs may have been used by the builder back in 1790! These guys haven't been sourcing vintage items on eBay to outfit the place and when you meet the crew that runs it you will understand what I mean. They are working around the clock to cook breakfasts, clean rooms, mix drinks and prep dinner. For the price I found it to be an amazing experience! The room was extremely cozy, the bar was welcoming, and somehow they kept the carpets clean all weekend despite salt, sand, and snow the whole time we were there. Abby was so kind and handled our every request from Breakfast to bar to the Saturday night Buffet dinner which was incredible!!! The whole town shows up on Saturday nights for it and I understand why! The bread pudding alone is worth the price of admission which is pennies!! They offer discount lift tickets at Belleayre and it was a short drive to Phoenicia, the Peek-a-moose restaurant (highly recommend), and literally 1.5 miles to Belleayre. If you're not too bougie and are up for an experience that you can't get at chain hotels GO HERE, have a drink with Abby, Steve, and Heather and tell them Jay and Jordan say hello!!!

I super enjoyed my brunch - I got the ham egg bowl which comes with a few slices of ham and a wonderfully fried egg w/ homemade chili crisp. It seemed like a simple bowl but I think the chili crisp made all the difference. I would totally come back JUST for this bowl. I did get a cold drink, the Honey Pear Tea. I didn't realize they would just use OSULLOC tea bags - imo a little overpriced and meh. I wouldn't recommend doing an iced tea w/ a tea bag. My friend got the Cinnamon Roll Latte and that was really great, so next time I'm around I would just get a latte instead.

Thanks so much for the yummy eats and morning ambience

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.

I believe that it is always appropriate to express both the good and the bad, and so my review…read moreoffers a little of both. We had just finished our 8 mile excursion at Rail Explorers last Friday and could not wait to get a bite to eat. We worked up quite an appetite, but did not mind that there was a line out the door. It would be worth it. We were told 20 minutes and so proceeded to wait patiently, just like everyone else. 20 minutes came and went and I was starting to feel my blood sugar plummet. We decided to wait in the bar area where I thought I could at least get started with one of their specialized breakfast drinks, but no one working behind the bar even asked if I wanted anything. I was ready to pay and tip appropriately, but it was like I wasn't even there. They were busy, so I chalked it up to that and waited until we were seated to order something to drink. We were seated at 40 minutes of waiting. Not a problem for me because I knew they were busy. We had agreed to a counter spot, but after waiting beyond the 20 minutes we were told, it would have been nice to have a two person booth. Our server, Kate, was very friendly and took our drink orders immediately. As our drinks arrived, we were joined to our right at the counter by a couple that had been on our excursion. There was another couple to our left, that were into their meals already and enjoying their food. We ordered our food and enjoyed the bustle of the diner. There were so many delights on the menu, but I was like...I just worked my butt off, I'm going to try something decadent and new. I ordered the jalepeno popper hash-browns. A little out of my comfort zone, but I knew they would be good. Within a few minutes our fellow excursion couple received their food. No big deal, right? Sometimes that happens. We waited...and waited. Coffee was refilled and Kate came over to ask if we wanted more juice. I'm thinking, yes! The food should be coming out soon. I watched the kitchen counter like a hawk...my stomach was now growling. The people to our left had left and a new couple arrived, the people from our excursion were finishing up their meal. Yes, that's right, the people that arrived after us were finishing up and we had still not been served. Kate, as sweet as she was, did not come back to reassure us that the food was coming, or notify us of any issues with the preparation of our food. We didn't order anything that would need 40 minutes to cook, so it was odd. Our excursion people left, the new people ordered and we were finally presented with our food. Kate did offer a "sorry about the wait". I smiled as I was just happy to finally have food presented. The people to our left received their food immediately after ours came, so the kitchen was working efficiently for everyone around us. My food was very good. It was an odd choice for me, but the jalepeno popper was decadent and Just what I needed after being there for about an hour and a half total. My fiancé's food....not so much, but I'm sure you will hear from him. All I have to say about his food is that he never complains....ever, but this time, I could practically see the steam coming out of his ears, as it was most certainly not coming off of his plate. He ordered a griddle meal, and oddly enough, it came out cold, lackluster and after the wait we had, it pretty much was the straw that broke the camel's back. I'm thinking that something happened with my meal which caused his meal to have to sit under the lights for 30 minutes....regardless, we should not have been served well after the people who sat down beside us were done and on their way out the door and a griddle meal should be so hot that you have to be careful not to burn yourself. Am I guilty of not expressing how I felt that day and instead choosing to write this review. Yes. But we were annoyed and looking at a 2 hour plus drive into the city and mainly just wanted to get out of there. Saving grace- sweet and friendly Kate and your adorable logo. I was totally going to buy some merch before the experience took my desire for a cute sweatshirt, bucket hat and cookbook to go flying right out the window. No complaints about the price. I too believe in supporting local and paying employees what they deserve.

The exterior is misleading & easy to pass by if you're not in the know - don't let it fool you! Breakfast is only served on weekends between 8 AM & 1 PM & we just happened to be there. Service was extra warm & welcoming - we had our pup with us & it was a not so great weekend weather wise & while we offered to order & sit outside at a table as to not disrupt other diners, they managed to put us in their back room so no one had to eat out in the cold (Pepper can't write her own review, but she says thank you, two paws up!) While the menu is small, one item is better than the next & you can't go wrong no matter what you choose! Prices are reasonable for everything you get & in today's economy, it's a rare find! The apple pancakes were to die for & honestly, the biggest pancakes I've ever seen! Fresh biscuits with maple butter (YUM!) Don't pass up on the extra creamy & delicious chocolate milk! Seriously - can I get an IV drip of that? This place is the embodiment of farm to table (obviously). Zero frills, but full authenticity of a working farm. Wonderful place & wonderful people. They have lots of their goods for sale too, so you can take Buck Hill Farm home with you! We bought their delicious bourbon maple syrup, fresh herbal tea, hot sauce, & took some ribs back to the house to grill for Father's Day! Plenty of full & happy bellies even after leaving the farm.

I went with the Pad Thai ($27 with chicken) and also got to try some of the fried chicken ($17), a special. Prices seemed a little high but the dishes were delicious, with portions being reasonable and the Pad Thai not being overwhelmingly sweet. The fried chicken was magically crunchy outside and moist inside, with an irresistible dipping sauce not too cilantro-y. The Windham Local has a parking lot off to the side, but there was ample street parking too. And a shop proprietor later told us that The Windham Local is her place to eat in town!

We stopped in early and had our choice of tables. The space is big, clean and perfectly calm. Great spot for a slow breakfast. After ordering at the counter, they brought everything over to our table. I got the oatmeal bowl. Delicious and simple. However, I couldn't help but steal many many bites of the breakfast burrito. Seriously, get it! A great spot with good food, a friendly team and a cozy vibe.

Everything was very oily, and the eggs ordered over/medium were definitely over/hard. Strangest were the potatoes -- okay, I know they started life as the little purple ones, but they were dark throughout. No whiteness inside to speak of. The whole meal was heavy, greasy, and for the price disappointing. I'd go lower than 3 stars, but my companion's BLT was very good. I guess my advice is -- avoid midweek and go on the weekend. Maybe that's when the A-list cook is on the job. The sparse number of customers when we were there hints that maybe the locals know something we don't. .
