Western omelet
Beth E.

Typical old fashioned diner that needs a good cleaning and remodeling. Menu was diverse and service was great. I settled on a western omelet with a choice of crispy or not crispy home fries and sour dough toast. Food arrived quickly and the omelet was extremely full of toppings and was nice and hot. I had ordered crispy home fries and would hate to see what the non-crispy were as these were cold and soggy. The sour dough toast did not taste sour at all.

Atmosphere - Great. The restaurant has a comfortable country feel. There is tons of seating that includes booths and tables. Service - Very good. Our server was very nice and attentive. Food - Very good. We were there for breakfast and the menu options are many and varied. I chose the Ham and Cheese omelette, which came with fried potatoes and toast. The omelette was served hot and tasted great. Overall Value - Very good!

Eggs and pancakes

This is a pretty good diner. The prices are fair, the food is good, the tea tasted weird, but they have sodas that taste fine and coffee that is good. We came here as an option after having a bit of a rough start to the day. It was nice to walk into an actual restaurant. The inside is cute, with a homely and warm ambiance, with a general quiet feeling that makes it comfortable to sit and chat while eating. The staff was friendly and got everythingnout to us quick. We were very happy to come here and would suggest it to visitors to this town. TL;DR: A good town diner.

Americana burger with bacon aioli
Mandie V.

It's easy to miss, if you don't know what you're looking for, but PLEASE don't overlook the Windham Diner!! The portions are enormous. The interior is dated. But the food is all homemade and DELICIOUS. We met my parents there for Mother's Day dinner, and everyone took some home. The dinner specials were roast pork loin stuffed with spinach, roasted red peppers, bacon and stuffing - my brother ordered this, got soup, potatoes and a vegetable with it - if his portion of meat wasn't 2 lbs I'll be dipped. His vegetable was butternut squash - a half of a roasted squash. His coffee cup barely had a sip or two out of it before they topped him up. I got the turkey dinner special - I think they gave me half the turkey!! Light and dark meat, stuffing, mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli, cranberry sauce, and soup or salad. I ate mostly the mashed potatoes because they were DELISH, and brought almost all the rest home. A ham and pear panini? Gorgeous, and incredible. The Americana burger with bacon aioli?! I'm pretty sure my husband would leave me for the aioli.... Also, the kindest, most attentive waitstaff - from the man who did continuous laps clearing plates and filling coffee, to the gentleman (maybe a cook?) you offered up a booth to lay our sleeping toddler in so we didn't have to hold album and eat, to the waitress who offered to make our toddler a to go order. Lastly, the price was beyond reasonable - and they gave the moms a rose and heart balloon, but had them hidden in the back so you got to see the genuine surprise from each woman! I can't wait to go back! If only to attempt dessert...there was just no way it was happening this trip!

I always leave here satisfied and happy with the experience! The Windham Diner, previously Michael's Diner, has been a reliable "go to" for any meal whether it's breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Their prices are reasonable and the food always comes out fast and hot! The staff are very attentive and friendly, willing to cater to you.

Large plate of Shrimp Athenian with pasta, stuffed shrimp with mash potatoes and butternut squash

One of the better diners I've visited. The staff was pleasant even though they were busy. Prices were quite reasonable with good special combo deals that included a large soup. My wife actually loved the stuffed shrimp and the shrimp Athenian pasta was quite pleasing. The menu is large and the portions are quite bountiful. Not a bad place to grab some casual grub.

Chicken Run Family Restaurant and Steak House

Since opening its doors in 2012, Chicken Run has become the de facto "living room" for the Northern…read moreCatskills. Whether you're coming off a long day at Hunter Mountain or just passing through Windham, this spot perfectly balances a rustic, family-friendly atmosphere with a menu that doesn't cut corners. The Butcher Steaks: This isn't just a "chicken joint." They take their beef seriously, offering fresh-cut, flame-grilled steaks like the 24oz Ribeye and NY Strip. They even age their own steaks in-house when available, resulting in a tender, seasoned-to-perfection cut that rivals high-end steakhouses but at much friendlier "mountain prices." The Signature Fried Chicken: This is the restaurant's namesake for a reason. The chicken is consistently hot, crispy, and juicy. Pro tip: Get the combo that comes with their special honey sauce and "cornbread cake." Dipping the savory, salty skin into that honey is a game-changer. BBQ Ribs: If you're looking for "fall-off-the-bone," you found it. Their ribs are slow-cooked and slathered in a rich, tangy sauce that requires a stack of napkins and zero regrets. Save room--or just admit you're having a second dinner--for the homemade desserts. Their dessert bar and soft-serve ice cream are staples, but the real magic happens in the summer (or around the outdoor firepits) with their S'mores kits. It's the perfect way to cap off a mountain day. With a massive backyard featuring a firepit, live music on the weekends, and a "come as you are" dress code, it's easily the best spot for big groups. The service is fast, the portions are massive, and the "old-school country" energy makes you feel like a local the moment you walk in.

I got the breakfast wrap and the avocado was not ripe at all. There was also a lack of flavor. The pancakes were raw as well. I will give this place the benefit of the doubt because I arrived 30 mins before closing, but I was still very disappointed.

Sometimes these country establishments are hit or miss. I am happy to report back that this diner…read morewas a hit. I visited, hubs in tow, this past rainy Sunday. They had sold out of the Country Girl, which was the fried chicken and biscuits, so I opted for the sausage and biscuits with eggs, and hubs tried the lemon ricotta pancake with homemade blueberry jam. The eggs in the savory dish featured the creamy bright orange yolk I love from locally farmed chicken. Biscuit was a nice size and the gravy was meaty and tasty. I could have used a couple more spoonfuls though. The large pancakes were perfectly fluffy, and the jam (though they could have been more generous with the topping) was a perfect match. Good, solid, stick to your ribs food. Service was friendly and quick. Only miss was the acidic stale coffee that was likely sitting around for a couple of hours). I'd say prices are on the higher side, but still, a better deal and quality than the brunch at Babbler nearby, for example. I did some digging after lunch and learned that The Wildair/Contra team from NYC opened this place. So I'm not surprised that this place made a good impression. Will certainly be back!

Service throughout the meal was painfully slow. There were only two waitresses working the entire restaurant, including an outdoor patio area. They were doing their absolute best, but it was just too much for two people. One of the waitresses didn't seem too familiar with the table identification system. Whenever a dish came out from the kitchen, she'd ask several different tables if the dish was what they ordered, seemingly having no idea which food belonged to which party. This was pretty bizarre and inefficient. They apparently forgot about our order. We ordered nachos as an appetizer, but they didn't come out until after our entrees arrived so we didn't end up keeping them. They did provide complimentary chips and black bean dip, so we at least had something to munch on during the long wait. We saw several tables that received no service at all, and folks had to get up to ask for their check and pay, because the waitresses were just too busy to stop by the tables. For an entree, I had the veggie tacos. The veggies included squash, zucchini, and onions. An order came with three tacos, as well as red and green salsa, black bean dip, and rice. The rice was mushy and the black bean dip wasn't super flavorful. The tacos were okay, but made better by a dousing of habanero hot sauce. My husband also got a horchata beverage and enjoyed it. I felt bad for the waitresses, as there was only so much they could do. In addition to serving, they bussed the tables, prepared the drinks, and served as hostesses. The food could've been better, but the service really tanked the experience.

My son had a burger and fries but it wasn't so great but I guess thats what you expect at a mexican place; its what he wanted. I had the shrimp fajitas and I loved the overall meal and taste but I was a little disappointed it only had 5 shrimp; 6 wouldve been better, 7 would've great for 20 bucks. In any case, again there are very limited options especially at this price point in the area so in all likelihood, i'll be back here when i'm in the area.

I would like to go back but they have so few options it's not fun or interesting. Yes the food is good. I wish I could get the "full" menu at the bar. I like the fact that you see food you don't see anywhere else up here and it is quality and well prepared. What really bothers us is that you must order everything up front. This is really unacceptable. My wife and I like to order appetizers with appropriate wine and then see which way we are going. Yes I understand it's easier on the kitchen but comm on: you only have three entrees!!!!! The bartending couple that work there are knowledgeable and professional. The wine is not kept behind the bar bit strangely kept on a table outside the kitchen. Really awkward. That being said we would like to go back but will not due to the aforementioned reasons. It's a shame this place could be great.

We tried the prefixe menu and added on bread and tuna compote which were not a part of the prefixe. The bread was great and the tuna compote was lacking - I feel like it was just two crackers with tuna overpriced. The whiskey business was my favorite drink- it reminded me of the secret menu item, whiskey business from dear Irving, an amazing bar in nyc. They had interesting wines and they didn't have any open bottles for us to try so when we did buy a bottle it was much said that we would need to pay for it even if it would be bad so we just bought the bottle without having an option to try. Usually in fine dining restaurants you'd be able to try it regardless and see if you want the whole bottle. Prefixe time A few of us ordered the Wagyu steak and the Amish chicken (recommended by the staff). The only pescatarian who was also the birthday girl got the fish! The fish wasn't bad but had bones and was cold. One of our friends also had a cold chicken dish when mine was hot. We had a very interesting mix of temperatures going on as there was only one chef that night so some of our food turned out really cold which we did not expect. We brought it up to the waiter but nothing was done after we mentioned it so I feel like this definitely is not fine dining at all. We ended up heating up our Amish chicken over the candle and I feel like nobody really paid attention or cared that the food was cold. The Wagyu steak was over salted but I definitely think the Amish chicken was the best thing we got but it was not like worth the price point we paid. We also ordered dessert and I think that part tasted pretty good. Overall it's just ok. I feel like they could do better on service and their food temperatures. Their cocktails are great!
