We were bicycling from Albany to Hudson in the rail trail and stopped here for lunch and the next day for breakfast.We got the tuna salad plate. It was HUGE and tasty. The next day, on our return trip, we got omletes that were done very well.We shared a fruit plate which was wonderful. It seemed like there was a half pint of fresh blueberries!I down-graded the service because both times we had to flag down the waitress to get refills on our coffees and the coffees cooled down quickly in the thick mugs.A great local restaurant in a cute little downtown area.Vegetarian options: Has egg, cheese and fish dishes. I don't think any were labeled vegetarian. The fruit plate is vegan.

First visit impressions. Stopped for dinner on our drive back to Albany from visiting family. The menu selection is quite large for a diner. The atmosphere was clean and welcoming. Our server was friendly and attentive. Our meals (turkey club and a reuben) and appetizer (cauliflower wings) came out quick and were tasty. Will certainly visit again.

This was ladies' choice for lunch after shopping at a local gift store. Not only were there lunch items to choose from but there were breakfast items as well. As we walked in there was also a sandwich board with delicious sounding specials for the day. Two of us opted for breakfast while the other lady chose a corned beef sandwich. The food was outstanding. The waitstaff was attentive and friendly. All menu items were reasonably priced. If they had offered speciality coffees we would have stayed for those. Instead we went further down Rte 9 for those.On the way out, I opted for one of the specials to bring home for the hubby....the Thanksgiving Dinner Wrap. He thought it was a really great sandwich. It also came with one of the soups of the day, Cream of Broccoli.We will definitely try this again for lunch.

Or breakfast was good but not much better than that. I think the service is what gives this place the lower mark. My wife had the corn egg hash breakfast and she liked it, but our waitress never came back to see if things were ok. My wife wanted jelly but ate dry toast instead. I had the vegetable omelet. I specifically asked if there was asparagus or broccoli in it and she said no. When it came, I showed my wife all the broccoli in it. Hmmmm. Also I could not tell which side of my toast was actually buttered. Halfway through my meal, my glass of water was empty and so was my coffee cup. I set them on the edge so she could see and refill. By the time she came back, we were both done. Mind you, they were not busy. She gave me a cup of coffee on the first time/last time to our table. She didn’t even ask about the water. Really bad service here. Not sure if it’s always like that. I look for small mom and pop diners and cafes. I was really disappointed in this one. Unfortunately it would be one I would probably not recommend by the service we had. You might have better luck. I would not give a great rating and suggest a place to have someone would go to this place from my review and be upset on my good rating. This one doesn’t get it, at least not from me.Also,I know it’s just a painting, but I wouldn’t want a younger child to go into the men’s room and start asking questions about what they saw in the men’s room. See last photo. It seems too odd to display In a public, all ages bathroom.Not recommended

I grew up in Valatie and came here several times over the years. This time the service wasn't the best. I took my mother and my 5 and 3 years old daughters. They sat us with the kids in a high traffic area where they were highly distracted. My 5 year old saw a picture of a chocolate milkshake on the kids menu and asked if she could have one. The server said, "you can't, you're going to need to pay for it." Obviously not a family restaurant and the food wasn't the greatest.Kid-friendliness: Not very accommodating to children.

Great staff- always smiling and so kind to everyone. The food is just comfy and yummy! Great portions, delicious, and not expensive! It looks small from the outside but is perfect inside. We looked into other places in the area.. but we decided we wanted breakfast for dinner! Watched others get the dinners and my mouth was watering- even though I couldn't finish all of my delicious French toast! The food is amazing... not typical diner food..this is homemade and local!Parking: Town parking lot across the street, we didn't have any trouble finding parking.Kid-friendliness: Amazing .. able to make my picky eater food to her liking.

We met up with friends for a birthday lunch and they recommended this local restaurant as one of their regular favorites. It didn’t disappoint in any way. We all had seafood dishes; stuffed shrimp; fish fry with macaroni and cheese; broiled seafood platter and New England clam chowder. Plenty of food and then some. Well prepared and delicious. We’re a ways from the area, but it’s some of the best food we’ve had so it’s worth a trip!
