We finally managed to get a cocktail order placed but in the 15 after they were poured (we could see) they were watered down from melted ice. Finally walked out after not getting our food order taken for a full hour. Other patrons we saw were getting the same treatment as us considering to bail also. My wife and I liked this place in the past. The community doesn't wanna see a good place go south. Management needs to wake up.

This time the meal opened with a lambs head stew, whose rich flavor was tempered by the citrus undertones.

The pita was warm and abundant. The main course was a beautifully braised beef shank served along with its own marrow bone which could have easily taken the spotlight. . An olive oil rose water cake for dessert provided complete closure. The entire vibe of this place is incredibly warm and welcoming with an energy provided by the staff that makes you feel as if you are a guest in their kitchen. I would highly recommend making this place a priority on your list.

I was here over the long weekend to get some skiing in and this day was an off day which was nice as I don't usually get to see the town in the daytime. This little gem is across the municipal parking lot so it was super convenient to get to by foot. No pretense here, just good, classic diner quality eats (ambiance and food). Expectations, none walking in. What we got? Great service and decent food. The prices were very affordable and reasonable especially just off the ski town area... About 10 miles from Bellayre Mountain. I had to order the specials, just because the pricing was right: Prime rib with mashed potatoes - decent, cooked medium as I requested BBQ pulled pork sandwich with Cole slaw - great light lunch and the Cole slaw was finely chopped Scrambled eggs with fries and toast - as it sounds Ham and cheese omelette - also as it sounds We didn't get a burger even though it was so tempting. After eating on the mountain, we just wanted different food. We did however, get ice cream even though it was 37 degrees outside. The name and the signage, couldn't resist. Classic strawberry was the choice favorite.

The beer is flavorful and I recommend "hooking up" your Brookie. Think Michelada, but with more citrus. They have a set menu for snacks so not really a place for a full meal. However, check the website as they seem to have rotating food vendors. We had the vegan nachos with Indian flavors which was amazing. It's a small space but that adds to the charm! Lots of outside seating, hunter lounge feels, and friendly staff with their mascot cat.

We arrived about 2 hours after opening on a Saturday afternoon in August and it was pretty packed. Since we had the dogs with us so we searched for a shady spot on a sunny afternoon so that they would be comfortable. Luckily we found one! The beer was good. We really enjoyed the Catch & Release, Mountain Life and the Dutchie. The basil in the Dutchie was really refreshing! We purchased Mountain Life and Dutchie in cans. The food was definitely not the highlight. They told us they were very behind and that the pizza would take an hour or more. They also wouldn't take our order initially because they had no buzzers left. We came back two times to see if any buzzers had come back. We ended up ordering the smash burger, the chicken sando, and fries. This order took about 20-25 mins. The Smash burger had a nice caramelization. The chicken sando was tasty, but not worth the wait. We will be back!

If it is busy, please be patient and respectful to people that work very hard to make TJs a great place to stop.

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.

The cinnamon roll was the same one I had back in March, but unfortunately, the texture wasn't as soft this time. It was noticeably harder, although it was still generously covered in frosting like before. The scrambled eggs were soft and cooked well, but the biscuits and gravy were pretty heavy. The potatoes, however, were amazing! They were nice and crispy, which I really enjoyed. My daughter really enjoyed her meal. She ordered the French toast, sausage, bacon, pancakes, and eggs, and she was very happy with everything. Overall, the food was a mixed experience for me, but there were definitely some highlights--especially those crispy potatoes!

The indoor ambiance was fun and casual, with comfy seating options as well as more traditional dining tables. We would have enjoyed sitting inside, but the weather was just too perfect the day we visited! There were plenty of great places to sit outside, including a patio and picnic tables scattered throughout the property. There's also plenty of green space for dogs and kids to enjoy, plus hiking nearby. I honestly wish we lived closer so we could enjoy this place more often! Oh, and did I mention the best burger I've had in a while?! It was thick, juicy, packed with flavor, and absolutely delicious. Great beer, great food, great atmosphere -- definitely worth a visit!
