Phoenicia Diner

Best breakfast we've found within 20mi of anywhere. The Bloody Marys are top notch and the skillets are epic. ProTip: start with the breakfast tacos as an appetizer !

You could say this place is specifically catering to Brooklyn hipsters on holiday, but - damnit - hipsters know how to brunch . Serves typical diner fare with a locally sourced lean. Not to be missed.

This is potentially the best diner I've ever been to. Definitely get fries and if chicken chili is on the menu, combine them...the kitchen won't do it in the back, but best chili cheese fries ever

A favorite with locals and visitors to Hunter mountain . Phoenicia has friendly service with classic diner menu filled with seasonal and local ingredients . The pan fried trout is one of my favorites.

No Bloody Marys served 'till noon, but when the clock strikes, hoo-doggy they are good. Miglorelli Farm Tomato Juice + Catskills Peace Vodka + some weird root thing = $8!

Quintessential brunch spot in the Catskills . Excellent Bloody Mary . Gets crowded but service is fast. Great for people watching .

Everything is delicious. Kid friendly , bourbon shakes , and incredible food. Reuben was excellent, pancakes were a dream, and the kale salad was fabulous.

It is all good here, but you can't beat the wild hive polenta skillet , topped with two perfect poached eggs . A homemade Bloody Mary with local vodka doesn't hurt either.

The breakfast tacos were everything I've dreamed of and more. Best Mexican breakfast fusion outside of California.

The bloody Mary is amazing. The biscuits and gravy are amazing. The cell service on t-mobile is nonexistent and I'm pretty sure the free WiFi is a farse, but that's OK, pay attention to your friends

Usually a wait but the bar scene compensates. For food, all of the skillets are great, especially the one with duck . Order a side of mac n cheese .

Best Mexican breakfast in the Catskills . Great pancakes and local ingredients . Wonderful people. Great representation of the best of the Catskills .

A real keeper. On Route 28 just south of Phoenicia, NY. Another stop on the two lane to Cooperstown. Everything is very fresh. Hardly a dinner menu . Meatloaf lunch is plentiful and delish!

Fuel up for a day upstate by stopping by the Phoenicia Diner, a landmark eatery serving “farm-to-counter” diner-style food, just off Route 28, otherwise known as the Catskill Mountains Scenic Byway. Read more

The Bloody Mary is fantastic! It's made with a local vodka , which makes it taste better just because...

They are weird about letting you take food to go. Only can be done w/ certain items. Apparently their hot food will "melt" the container? Anyway, food is good. Try the sandwiches or watermelon salad .

Everything on the menu is delicious. Their bread is really good and baked in-house.

The best (and only) diner for miles around. The skillets are great. Expect a wait.

If you want to avoid major crowds, go early in the morning or later in the afternoon. Avoid Sunday all together if possible - however, the food is well worth the wait. I love the omelets and skillets !

This diner is a jewel of the restaurants . Breakfast served all day. Vegetarian alternatives. Delicious food, a real american atmosphere and a friendly service .

Amazing! I hear there's always a crowd but ended up not having to wait too long for a counter seat . Chicken and waffles was some of the best I've tasted.

Best diner to stop by during a camping trip . Everything is great here. Choose from a special or try a local brew !

The food comes out quick like a typical diner but the quality and taste is way better weather you’re having breakfast or lunch ! The crispy chix sammie is delicious but way too big for 1 person..share!

Get a skillet - you won't regret it. While you're at it, their Bloody Mary is made with locally sourced tomato juice & vodka ????

The best pancakes I've ever had at a restaurant are here. Fluffy on the inside, crisp on the outside, and delicious local maple syrup !

Biscuit sandwich is lovely .. Great bacon biscuit had maybe a pepper and rosemary hint .. Himself lived the Chorizo omelet .. Service great ! These people work hard! .. Easy choice

One of the best diners !!! Good quality food. Portion is a bit too big but very testy. Loved my Veggie Quesadilla .

My coffee was never empty and for me, that is a good diner . Plus fluffy pancakes and a tasty breakfast burrito .

Staff that gives a damn and food made with the good local stuff. Many reasons to go back. Corned beef sandwich and trout skillet are two.

A perfect diner experience. Don’t miss the fresh squeezed juices . I recommend trying the local smoked trout ????

Skillets are legit. Locally sourced food . It's a calculated cast of diner grunge and hipster appeal.

Chorizo sandwich was a chopped up cheeseburger with taco seasoning, bread didn’t make it to the first bite and French fries were soggy. Onion rings gave me heartburn for the rest of the day, terrible.

This place has never let me down. Consistent and delicious food, sweet and knowledgable servers ... A seriously beautiful establishment.

Worth the trip - cool setup. Higher quality breakfast fare . Duck dish had limited meat and was a little dry but great flavors.

Everything is good here. You can't go wrong. This is my favorite place.

One of the best diners EVER. The skillets are divine. The pancakes are perfect. The ambiance can't be beat.

Golden Paloma cocktail is awesome. Pairs well with the vegetarian breakfast burrito . A favorite spot!

Farmers skillet is awesome!! This is an awesome diner , awesome restaurant in general!

Tortilla soup is the perfect way to warm up after a brisk fall day of hiking .

Awesome old diner turned hipster hang out. Polenta and eggs was delicious.

The goat cheese in this salad is incredible

Order 5 dishes, split with 3 people.

The food is good, but a bit pricey since they focus on quality ingredients. The bourbon milkshake was a great treat! I was a little disappointed with the service level. I felt ignored at times.

Pancakes - Buckwheat are crazy good or Buttermilk which are impossibly light and airy. Pour on the local maple syrup and enjoy

The pancakes were really good!! And they have a lot of outdoor seatings .

Skillets are great, and they make a great Bloody Mary . The menu is really well designed too!

bloody marys are delicious-- any of the skillets are great too.

Omg! Generous portions , good food, friendly staff . A little wait but expected when the food is so good!

Fried chix waffle sandwich was great! As were the onion rings !

Delicious food in charming old school diner , en route to or from Catskills . Word to the wise, check your bill on the way out.
