    A meal featuring a burger with lettuce, tomato, and a beef patty, served with French fries and a pickle, on a white rectangular plate.
    Terry D.

    Westchester Diner is a mega diner with an extensive menu that has just about everything you could want. They're under new management, but since this was my first time here, I can't compare it to before. That said, I thought the food was great, the restaurant was clean and the staff was very welcoming. Service was quick, and the waiters checked on us regularly. The wings were fantastic especially for a diner. I was really impressed! My only small complaint is that I wish the waiter had mentioned how large the side of fries would be. I ended up with a full plate, which was way more than I needed. Would definitely come back!

    As a local I hadn't been to this diner in 6+ years- poor food quality, sanitary issues and better options in the area. After hearing some good things about the new ownership and menu, we gave it another try and wow! All of food was spectacular. The salad was fresh and the quesadilla was one of the best I've had. The staff was also very kind and attentive. So happy to have another good local option! Now if only they went back to open 24 hours!

    Sherry mushroom caramelized onion gravy was so savory. - A white plate contains mashed potatoes, broccoli florets, and a beef patty with gravy and sautéed onions, served with a fork.

    I heard this place changed ownership, is there any difference since and how is it now?

    They have but I haven't been there since they changed.

    3/18/2025: I sincerely hope to return back on here to give an updated review!…read moreLet's start with the easy positives: parking is NEVER an issue as you have an entire lot sharing that of Stop n Shop. Food is always served in a timely manner. It is served hot and flavorful. Now,onto the negatives: I know everyone has a not so great start of the workday/morning, but our server today named M*r** gave us the impression that she didn't want to be there. I cannot EVEN call it "businesslike or professional". She didn't offer any words back other than what was spoken to her. No "good morning" no smile, and never ONCE checked our table to even see a simple thing as a coffee refill. The busboy was the opposite accommodating one who gave the coffee and the take-out box that we needed. When we asked him, he gladly helped us. It didn't stop there! Now onto the male, who I've never seen before, cashier. Didn't say a word during the ring up. Matter of factly handed the receipt and the pen for my signature. Still saying nothing. Here I'm paying the establishment patronizing Pastels --- finally a delayed low tone "thank you" as I gave the receipt back. Ok, yes, you're doing your job. In a TIME where it is difficult to both find and retain a job, at least act like you want to be there. We felt almost regrettable for have chosen Pastels today. Future orders when we decide to have their food again will be via DoorDash etc to avoid same, for now Not a pleasant experience today.

A man came out with two menus and put them down on the table. He didn't say hello, welcome not even a smile. The waitress came over. We placed her order and never saw her again. Food was OK nothing to write home about. Nobody checked on us and nobody really even care that we were there or not Very disappointed. Won't be returning :(

He was very sweet, very informative, and most importantly, honest! He wasn't sure what was in one of the cocktails because the ingredients recently changed, so instead of making something up, he went out of his way to go find out exactly what was in it! This was important to me because I've been to places where the servers either told me they don't know or they don't even offer to find the ingredients. For our appetizer, we ordered wings which came on the bone. We did request only the drumsticks, which they were able to accommodate. These wings were absolutely delicious, probably top five wings that I've ever had! We also ordered the chicken egg rolls, these were good as well, the dip that came with it was super delicious! For entrees, we ordered the mac & cheese, and the rack of ribs. Holy cow both were SO GOOD! The ribs melted in your mouth! The Mac and cheese was really good as well! For dessert we ordered the devils food chocolate cake and oooo my goodness how AMAZING! We also got 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream. For cocktails we ordered a Guinness and the Tropical Storm. The tropical storm drink has banana liqueur which I loved but it's very strong so make sure u like banana! Overall, I cannot wait to return to this place again! There are so many menu options and I want to try each and every one of the desserts! Lots of parking as well! Dress code: I was glad they accommodated us after a beach trip, but I felt underdressed. It's a nicer place!

This might be just the taste, but nobody at our table liked them. Also - and this seems to be the specialty of the house - they were not particularly warm. We also ordered the nachos with the brisket chili. The plate was huge and the nachos were pretty good. Unfortunately, the chili was largely a rumor. Now for dinner. Oh boy. First the staff, including our waitress, brought us food for another table. We didn't realize it right away, because the other table ordered a couple of items we did. Then we did get our food. We had a couple of the brisket grilled cheeses. These were tasty, but again, with precious little meat in them, and not hot. We had a smash burger order - COLD. Two mushroom truffle burgers - also cold and one was severely undercooked. We were going to a show so we suffered with it. The fries were a hit by the way. I ordered the salt caramel gelato. I've had similar many times. This was overly salty. I was very excited to go here, but unfortunately, quality flew the coop at Birdsall.

We tend to follow the local cover band Run For Cover, and with them talking about this place on their podcast, we decided to make the drive from Connecticut to go see them play here. We came for the music, so I'll mention the stage first. I'd say there isn't a bad seat in the house, but there are. You can scoot your chair, though, so I'll say there isn't a bad table in the house. Acoustics are nice, and the stage lighting doesn't usually move around and shine directly into your retina. Table service keeps the food and drink coming so you don't miss a minute. Now, onto the food. Their pizzas are made from scratch with their house-made sourdough starter, and it sounds like they do a better job of keeping it healthy than I do. (I wonder if I can take some home. I should ask next time.) The result is a pizza crust that is light and airy, but is dense enough to provide what The Sporkful calls "toothsinkability." They don't put the kitchen sink on their pizzas, so don't expect the crust to flop over the entire time you're holding your slice. There are plenty of special pizzas, or you can build your own. Each one has a fully-cooked but not burnt crust, pretty close to the classic New York style that's an hour south. It's hard to resist a good pizza, so we haven't tried too much of the rest of the menu. Our forays into the appetizer section have been great, and the dishes I see pass by all give my eyeballs a feast. The craft beer selection is a little thin, with a list of five or six regional ones scrawled in chalk on one wall. Still, if you like IPA's, lagers, or ales, you should find at least one you'll like. Street parking can be a pain, but there is a parking garage a few blocks away that's free at night. EV owners, you'll have to fight over a double-corded L2 ChargePoint station around the corner. (Get with the times, Peekskill!) Fortunately, I think it's free for the first few hours, so consider yourself lucky to get a plug!
