The service was a little slow and a few drink and food items were missing. Being that the waitress was busting her butt to try and keep up with each tables orders, I think she did a great job multi-tasking. The room has an old school vibe.......a little dark with wood everywhere. Bar area looked pretty decent. Fortunately, about 15 minutes after ordering a few other workers showed up and the serving process became much more streamlined. I tried a few items and really enjoyed the Full Irish Breakfast and the poached eggs and avacado on an English muffin. The potato pancakes were also great. Prices seemed to be on par with other pub style restaurants in the area. I'd have no issue returning for another meal in the future.

They also had, golf, ping pong, darts, pool table and a stage where they have bands play. Overall a great experience

My husband has the Bacon Baked Eggs, which came with delicious fluffy toast, but I'd recommend the Duffle instead:) We also shared a Waff-Cake, and that was really good too. We are stuffed, and our souls are full. The bill came out to $52 pre-top so it's quite affordable. The vibes are so cozy:) Plenty of parking in the back.

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. After breakfast, swing by the chicken coop & thank the ladies for the delicious eggs! LOL We hope to visit again next time we are in the area!

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.

But it's much more than a store; its also a restaurant, there is even a playground, a small maple syrup museum, and even a few farm animals. There were a couple of cats roaming around the perimeter, and luckily I was able to sneak in a few pets. As for the restaurant - the portions are gigantic, and everything is cooked fresh with organic, non GMO ingredients. My group ordered breakfast, while I wanted to get something from the lunch menu. I ended up getting a Philly sandwich. It was cheesy, smothered with onions, with tender beef, and served on a toasty bread. I devoured this sandwich. One piece of advice - If you visit on the weekend, be prepared to wait, because this place gets slammed.

They seriously have everything. Homemade jams and jellies, honey, sauces, syrups and more! Baked goods, breads, fudge, condiments, pickles, and so so much more! This is a non-negotiable stop every time I am in the Catskills. I always find something new and delicious to try. Not homemade but locally made soaps and tons of other goodies. They have it all here. Candy, decorations, merch and more. There is also a dining area, ice cream, coffee bar, and even a farm out back with animals you can go look at and a teeny, tiny maple museum that's worth peaking your head in. My bf has been coming here since he was a kid, and now we make a tradition to stop here every single time we are upstate. I couldn't imagine going up and not stopping here.

The fries were thin and good - and the homemade ketchup was good. My mom had the chicken tenders and they are the best I ever had - I know, I know, how good could they be? Delicious. They are lightly battered, perfectly fried, juicy, and the herbs and spices come through. I'd come back to get my own order. On the way out, we ordered 6 different donuts which were so good and airy. To my surprise, the apple fritter was my favorite - slight crunch outside, good slightly chewy texture, and great flavor. None of the donuts were too sweet. I'll be back!

The food was average. No complaints. My Waldorf salad was very plentiful. I took the remaining portion home. Customer Service was pretty good. The luncheonette has plenty of parking.

Formerly West Winds, Pop's Place is a casual local family owned roadside restaurant serving…read morebreakfast (all day), lunch and dinner, which is located in Preston Hollow (Southwest Albany County) along NY Route 145 between Catskill and Cobleskill. The full service dining area has seating for up to approximately 48 people including hard booths, table seating and seats up at the counter. The walls are decorated with various old framed photos, wooden signs, pennant, and posters. They also offer takeout, sell newspapers, and cooler items. The breakfast menu includes pancakes, waffles, French toast, eggs, omelets, breakfast sandwiches, and breakfast sides. The lunch menu includes burgers (with hand cut fries), hot & cold sandwiches (with chips & pickle), salads, soup, seafood baskets (fried shrimp-fried clams), and fried foods (hand cut fries, onion rings, chicken tenders, mozzarella sticks, fried mushrooms), and desserts (pies & cakes). The prices here seem reasonable, most items under $10. Pizzas, calzones, and wings are also offered on Thursday-Sunday nights. Specials are posted on the board and dinner offerings on their Facebook page. I stopped in at Pop's Place for lunch while driving through the Hill Towns of Albany County. I sat myself at a booth upon entering. I was greeted by the owner Heath and given a menu to look over and offered a drink. I quickly decided to order the special, which was Pastrami on Marble Rye ($8 plus tax) served with chips and dill pickle. I was offered to upgrade to hand cut fries for $1.50 more, but I was all set with the standard potato chips. The food was made to order by Amy (owner) in the open kitchen area and served nice and hot. The grilled pastrami sandwich had tender slices (not greasy) of lean pastrami, layered with melted Swiss cheese, and spicy mustard dressing between soft grilled marble rye bread. The ruffled potato chips (salted) were standard. After I finished my lunch, I was asked if I wanted anything else, but I was all set and needed to be back on the road. The grilled pastrami sandwich was very good, just what I needed for good lunch. The service was prompt and friendly. NOTE: Cell reception is nonexistent here.

I remember my previous visit here and the food being surprisingly good then too. I would also recommend the smoothie and chili. Service was good (food came quickly) and pricing made sense.

This Yellow Deli had a similar vibe, with the same earthy and "Middle Earth" feel, but I wasn't a big fan of the "Long Islander" sandwich I ordered.

That said, I still love Yellow Deli and picked up a bunch of items from the shop inside, like their homemade teas and soaps. I'm always fascinated by the intricate detail and decor of Yellow Delis--it's truly unlike any other deli. I still don't fully understand their religious aspect or what they represent, but I'm just here for the food! Can't wait to explore more locations!
