What a lovely way to end a day of skiing with my family! We were worried we wouldn't find any open restaurants because it's Christmas Day. Luckily, we came across Windham Diner (also known as Michael's Diner) and called to confirm they're open til 8pm. We were seated immediately upon arrival and had fun coloring on the provided activity papers while we waited for our food. Here's what we ordered: The Drunken Sailor Sandwich Grilled Cheese Mozzarella Sticks BLT Lentil Soup Boneless Buffalo Chicken Tenders Root Beer Float. Each of us enjoyed the meal and we were pleased with our waitress, Vicki's sweet temperament. We were especially surprised and excited when she served each of us large slices of cake - on the house! I was facing the counter and had been eyeing the cake on the counter as she sliced it - completely oblivious to the fact that she was cutting it for us. She brought it out to us just as we finished our meal and started discussing if we had "room for dessert." (We always do!) It was delicious and made our day that much sweeter! We didn't feel rushed to pay the check when we were done. We especially appreciated Vicki's great service because it is a holiday. Thank you! read more

Missed this place so much the past few years after refusing to go back due to the original abrupt, rude owner, Nick. So happy I heard it was sold to the Chef and I'm thrilled, and will be back regularly! Already did some take out, and as always, never disappointing! The food was always good, it was the attitude I had no palette for! Wishing the best of luck to the new owners, and looking forward to a long happy dining relationship! read more

We had an average experience here at Windham Diner. It was kind of busy so giving grace for that, but the atmosphere was that of stress and angst which really didn't add to our experience. The food was ok, the drunken sailor was very greasy and the fries served with it were equally greasy so it was a little difficult to eat. My husband enjoyed his burger and our daughter enjoyed her pizza. Maybe a quieter moment would have given us a better experience. read more

We were looking for something fast near Zions park. And the food turned out to be great :) Place was clean and service was quick. Mango salsa on the fish was bomb! read more

This review is based on the take-out experience at Windham Diner. We called a couple of times first to understand the menu, and then to order and then again to make changes to our order and they folks taking our call were super friendly throughout and very accommodating of our multiple questions and changes. They were ready for us to pick up our food in 15 minutes! The portions were generous - we had enough leftovers for at least another meal!. And moreover, the dishes were very tasty - of course, their classic diner fare such as burgers and chicken fingers were done well, very much to the enjoyment of my children. We also ordered some higher degree of difficulty dishes, such as the seared chicken over Greek salad and the caprese salad, both of which were also very well prepared - the salad dressing was very subtle and neither too acidic nor too heavy - very well balanced overall. To top it off, as we were leaving, my wife spied some very delicious looking cake behind the counter and went back to purchase some for our meal, only to find out that they already provided us 4 pieces for free! It was such a nice treat and definitely added to the experience. All in all, we found the Windham diner to be a great local diner for takeout with the customer service, portion size and overall food quality to be excellent. Definitely recommended. read more

Knowing that several yelps contained comments about the service, we still settled on stopping in here before the annual Independence Day parade and fireworks held in town. A lesson here before continuing, opinions are like...well you know. Everyone has one. Sometimes you have to go for it and make your own decision as to whether it's good. Should a place be great 100% of the time? Yes, but are they ever? Certainly not. On this day, Michael's was pretty damn great. We had chosen two specials for dinner. First, the Veggie Mediterranean Delight. A veggie patty topped with roasted red peppers and melted mozzarella cheese, sitting on a whole wheat pita. Served with a side of a fantastic raw shredded vegetable salad with a vinaigrette and a bit of feta. Excellent, in a word. Also, we asked for a drunken sailor...and the server said she needed one, too! (Awesome!) It was three pieces of beer battered cod, Cole slaw, and wasabi tartar sauce on a German hefeweiser roll, accompanied by the same great salad mentioned above, but in a light mayo instead. This was a real winner, as you could actually taste the beer in the batter that was fried crisp, clinging to each piece of flaky, moist fish. Topping off the meal, we were brought a couple of pieces of Independence Day cake on the house. Yellow cake with lemon filling, whipped cream topping, fresh strawberries...all looking like the flag of the USA. A very cool, old school, nice touch. Service was great, experienced, friendly, helpful, and worthy of a nice tip. I'm holding back a star for not taking credit cards. We will definitely be back the next time we're in the area. read more

For an upstate diner, this place has to be one of the better ones. In fact, calling it a diner is probably an understatement. I've been here quite a few times over the years and have been pleasantly surprised with a bunch of their dinner specials. Try the fresh roast turkey with apple stuffing and gravy..........it's da bomb diggity! Breakfasts are really good too. The staff is friendly and the service is fast. If you come on the weekend, arrive early because it can get crowded. I would definitely recommend visiting here if you're in the Windham area. It's also family friendly and a pretty decent value. read more

The best place for breakfast on the mountain! The food is hearty and delicious, the service is friendly, efficient and quick. We've been coming here for years and have never been disappointed. Highly recommend. read more

This is one of the best diners I've been too. The food is excellent especially when they do Mexican food on Thursdays. The staff is so friendly and I just love their food. read more

Food all around was below mediocre. The owner didn't have a good attitude either to say the least. Also doesn't take credit cards in 2020. Honestly felt like that place wasn't even trying. Great location, should get replaced by a business that tries. read more

Love this place. We go a couple times a month for dinner. I usually order the chicken bruschetta. it is the best I've ever had and it's a huge portion . It is clean with efficient friendly service . The bonus is dessert comes with dinner. read more

We ordered chopped steak two times. The portion is very generous and the meat is very juicy. The mashed potatoes on the side is very creamy. If you are a meat lover, you have to try it out. We also had fried chicken basket. I would say it's the best fried chicken I've ever had, and even the chicken breast is very flavorful. In all, the food is far beyond the standard of a typical diner. read more

I came in with friends for dinner and we had the worst experience ever!!! The waiter was so RUDE and IMPOLITE when we said we were ready to order our food and he said he wasn't ready for us. After that, he told us to leave the table cause he needed it. We had to go find another place to have dinner. I don't recommend this place!! read more

Food was excellent and service was friendly. Hearty portions and all delicious. Great owner operated business with super friendly staff.

Worst food, worst service, loaded with oil. Inedible meal. Disgusting in total. The waitress was even worst then the terrible meal. I will never return and will spread this around how you treat your customers! read more

The service is friendly. The menu is interesting and extensive. My mil had the biggest, juiciest pork chops I've ever seen and they were delicious. I got the Cajun chicken and pork and it was great and the portion was unbelievable. I come here every couple of years and then wonder why I haven't been in so long. It's the most reliable restaurant in town and it's possibly the best food. My soda was served in a giant cup and they sent us home with complimentary cake, maybe it's a Christmas thing. read more

Excellent diner! Ordered takeout while visiting Catskills. Service was great. Restaurant following COVID-19 social distancing restrictions by offering take-out only. Food was prepared quickly and was delicious. Portions are generous and the burgers are awesome-- cheese, regular, and turkey! If you are visiting Windham, definitely order from this place. You won't regret it! P.S. The diner is now called Windham Diner read more

We love coming to this diner when we visit Windham. It doesn't look like much, but it's the perfect classic diner experience every time. The pancakes are huge, light and fluffy- and the omelettes are also huge, light and fluffy. Always hits the spot. Five stars!!! read more

Not many places to eat in this town, but I'm glad we found this diner. The Carolina Pulled Pork was amazing. as I sit here, I'm still trying to get their recipe. on top of that, the Wait Staff is very attentive. Highly Recommend. read more

We were surprised and delighted by this random stop on our drive home through the Catskills! We loved our mini smorgasbord of a Tuna Melt, Buffalo cauliflower, fried green beans with bacon aioli and pretzel sticks with some truly awesome beer cheese! Topped off with a fantastic coffee milkshake! Yum! Place was empty, but service was very quick and with a smile!! Great little place to cool off in the heat! Would return! read more

Love this place! You definitely won't leave hungry. Very generous portions with plenty for leftovers. Free dessert for everyone at our table. The kids liked their cheeseburgers and chicken fingers. I ordered the Chicken Bruschetta and it was Amazing! We came another night and I tried the Philly Cheesesteak sandwich- delicious! Everything I've had at this place has been outstanding. Highly recommended! read more

I often forget why I'm less than fond of (most) diners and am often rudely reminded why. Now I merely have a tingling warning sensation. This experience will reinforce it. The service was OK on average, with the big exception that it took them longer to get our check than for us to order and eat our dinner. They were pretty understaffed, so that might have been it - but it seemed like only one person was handling checks, and we saw several other tables waiting for checks as well. The food itself was really pretty measly. The nachos were something of a joke, with questionable ground beef, canned salsa and 'nachos' - some cross between fried tortillas and... not sure what. The meatloaf was OK, the wings were pretty sub-par, and the steak and eggs were OK. The chicken fingers were probably the best. But not by a lot. Maybe just avoid this place and wait it out for some of the other restaurants in the area. read more

Service was great! Food was delicious! Definitely recommend to those in the area looking for a bite to eat!

So, what can I say about this family owned diner on main street? Well...its the only one in town, their menu is super cheap for all meals of the day, and the portion sizes are decent. Oh yeah...their lack of good service was worse than the lack of good flavors in their food. The slow and often clueless wait staff at Michael's Diner, makes the service at IHOP look like a Ruth's Chris Steak House instead. Listen, we understand that (you're) the only diner in town, but would it kill you to smile, hand us menus, fill our waters/coffees, and remember our orders? Oh yeah, and you expect a large tip afterwards? Haha. Overall, yes, this place is a pathetic "Meh"...but I had no other choice in this small ski town, and they clearly show you how much they know that as soon as you walk through the front door. What's even crazier is that I will most likely return to this place since I love Windham so much...what a vicious cycle. read more

Went for dinner with a group of 8 after a fun day at Windham Mountain. They served huge portion of good food with good price. Marsala chicken on pasta - 4 stars, $14 - chicken was very tender eggs on corn beef hash - 4 stars - eggs cooked perfectly and huge portion of corn beef hash orange creme soda root beer float Will definitely come back again...... read more

It's a diner...nothing special going on. Not bad, not good. They don't really have anything on the menu that stands out. Breakfast served all day is a plus! Nice owners, decent food, lots of parking. It's a worth a visit if you are in the area. read more

Coming from the Long Island/New York City Metro Area, where diners are plentiful - Michael's Diner still has to be one of my favorite diners. I went to this diner en route to Windham and Hunter mountain for a snowboarding trip with friends. Located seconds away from Windham Ski Resort and with an ample parking lot - Michael's Diner was a convenient meeting place for our group of 17+. Our group was quickly seated down together and the service was fast. The waitress especially left a great impression on me - such a warm personality that is an absolute necessity to any close-to-heart diner. I ordered the Chocolate Pancakes, a bowl of oatmeal, and the farmer's omelette. Other people in my group similarly ordered big breakfasts - with priority on Michael Diner's omelets. The food came reasonably fast and was truly delicious. The home fries "hit home", and I have to say this was one of the best breakfast/brunch combinations of my young life. The best part was the price of it all. A group so big, yet the check was unbelievably reasonable. It wasn't just affordable, but delivered a great (in a good way) shock! We returned once more (driving miles to Windham from Hunter Mountain) just for Michael's Diner before we left for New York City. I highly, highly recommend Michael's Diner for anybody in the area. It is located in a cute town on the bottom of Windham Ski Mountain. Parking is a definite plus! read more

This was my first time going here, they were very sweet. Even gave us a free piece of pie, the only problem I had was when the waitress gave us the bill she then informed us it was cash only. Very frustrating, should at least have an atm in the diner or tell us it was cash only before serving us. read more

My family and I stopped for lunch. My husband and father got gyros and my mother got souvlaki they all really enjoyed their meals. I got the turkey bacon club and it was delish. The 4 of us split the appetizer for two and we all left pleasantly full. The waitstaff were all very nice and we were promptly served and our drinks were never empty. We will def go again read more

Michael's Diner is amazing. I have never had anything that wasn't absolutely delicious. Last night I had stuffed tilapia with crabmeat and it was so so good. The waitress was very on top of things and attentive. My friend had the roast turkey with apple stuffing which was also delicious. I hope they will always be there! Keep up the good work. B.

Waited 20 minutes and didnt even get coffee or water. After the waitress passed by us for the 5th time without taking our order we decided to bail. Disappointing because the menu seemed pretty good. read more

Just ate the most delicious burger I've ever eaten in my life. I tour with a country band for a living and have eaten thousands of burgers.... Nothing comes close. The All American Burger (half pork belly and half ground beef w/ bacon, egg and aioli) will make your taste buds dance. It was worth it! read more

Very pleased with Michael 's Diner excellent Greek Spinach Pie, salads, huge breakfast platters, not much room on those huge plates of his they're so full of tasty morsels. Great beef and pork ribs, good crisp fries and speedy service by a well trained staff. Michael is usually there in the kitchen overseeing every dish being delivered to the dining area. He's fussy and will come over to you and ask if your happy with the meal, he really cares about his clientele. Atmosphere is local, relaxed and casual. Waitresses really know their stuff, very well informed. Most beautiful view of Greene County mountains surrounding Windham Ski Resort stunning views, excessive amount of parking. Always look forward to stopping in when I travel up to see my son in Prattsville. read more

This diner has a lot of options, and at the time we were there the veggie burger was dairy and egg free along with a handful of options that were also vegan. This place is FAR from veg friendly but during the Yoga Festival in October they had a few. The sweet potato fries were really good and the portions were huge. The server was amazingly helpful and very accommodating. http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g48902-d867020-r316160178-Michael_s_Diner-Windham_Catskill_Region_New_York.html# read more

This place is now called Windham Diner. The food was good, and the portions were on the large side, just as you would expect at a diner. The service was speedy and friendly, and the owner helped out when the waiters were busy with other customers. They serve beer, which is a plus. Everyone gets a free piece of cake at the end, which was a nice touch. The cake itself was light and tasty. CASH ONLY! read more

Their breakfasts are really good. Same waitresses are there since I've been coming to Windham for the past years. It's a diner.
