Gracie's Luncheonette

Was driving between the ADKs and NYC and placed an online order for a turkey sandwich and hoped there would still be some donuts available at 4pm on a Saturday. Online order was ready in less than 10 minutes, and we got lucky with the donuts! Donuts were great (don’t skip the fritter, so good), but the turkey sandwich and fries were outstanding (even the ketchup was homemade). Already looking forward to returning soon.

Gracie’s is a great spot no matter the time of day — we went for a Saturday brunch and ordered the country fried steak and eggs, chicken and waffles, and a side of hashbrowns. Some of the best breakfast we’ve had! The hasbrowns are super crispy rounds with a super creamy inside, and the homemade hot sauce and ketchup are to die for. Highly recommend coming here!

Visited this spot on the way back from a wedding, oh my god couldn't have been more pleased stumbling upon it. Very friendly staff who were happy to give me recommendations, and apparently everything is made in house. Was given a donut to try as it was late in the evening, and even not fresh it was great. Got the Gracie burger, and buffalo chicken Mac and cheese (off menu) and their homemade sodas. Everything was amazing, couldn't recommend enough

What a lovely and unknowing location! My husband and I seeked out a drivable brunch place so here we were and it was great. We got seated right away, staff were pleasant and the location was ultimate. The Bloody Marys were spicy and decently strong. I had the chicken fried steak and asked for poached eggs. Unfortunately this was where they lost the star as the eggs were basically hard boiled and I look forward to runny eggs. My husband had the brisket hash and ate every bite. We also got 4 large donuts on the way out. Wish they gave us 2 boxes as the donuts are so big they smeared the frosting all over the inner lid of the box. Will definitely return!

I’m honestly in shock at how fresh and delicious the food tasted. I ordered the egg, cheese, and avocado roll with a side of tomato soup, and it was truly one of the best I’ve ever had. Every single ingredient tasted fresh, wholesome, and thoughtfully prepared. My husband ordered the chicken sandwich with fries, and it was exceptionally delicious as well. Even the presentation stood out—the exterior and signage are so picturesque and inviting. I highly recommend visiting this restaurant. We’ll definitely be back!

A solid diner with an excellent atmosphere. The views are great, the inside is spacious and nice. We enjoyed our meal here. We got a full breakfast and the big Joe - both were good, but didn’t quite live up to the hype. The has browns were more like latkes, almost like fried mashed potatoes in the centre, and the sausage was quite plain, odd texture. Eggs were cooked to perfection and the toast was superb. The big Joe was quite good but maybe just a touch dry. We’d definitely come back to try other items - the donuts looked excellent, as did the stuffed pretzel and the poutine we saw someone order. Old-school diner vibe in the Catskills, even if you only wanted a cup of coffee and a doughnut I’d probably stop.

Best breakfast / brunch in the area. We were staying at camp town down the road and on a quiet Tuesday morning happened upon Gracie’s. Super chill beautiful morning here. Our server (Delaney) was awesome. Started with a golden pineapple turmeric sparkling drink that brought us back to life. After a couple recs from our server we had eggs and hash some french toast sticks, coffee I can’t remember we loved everything. So serene staring out into the green hillside. If you are sat in the back you can see the river churning down below. Def coming back as we didn’t even get into all the donuts and treats they had at the counter.

Since we've visited there 4 out of 4 times passing by (from Roch NY to Fairfield CT or back) we rate it a 5 (exceeds expectations). There are some niggles and plaudits. - takes a while to prepare your food. THATS A GOOD THING. - only sugary soda, no diet. I can see that being a good thing, though. The iced tea was excellent. - no wifi. I can understand in a way. - portions tend to o be American-size. Have to make a second meal from them. - it's right off the ThruWay, where a BK meal will set you back, say, $18. So will Gracie's. But, OH the difference in food, service, ambiance. - they have good adult drinks We will keep coming back

Pleasantly surprised by this adorable roadside "diner" type of restaurant Gracie's Luncheonette. Very clean, fresh flowers on the tables, views of a huge stream and forest. Service was very friendly. We loved the avocado toast, the burger sliders, the tuna melt and the house made sodas! The food was fresh and you could tell it was made with care. Both tables and bar seating available. Plus they have a nice selection of beer!

Gracie's is a great place for breakfast near Hudson! We wctually started with dessert (doughnuts) and the homemade doughnuts were so fresh. The Pecan Toffee Crunch was perfectly crisp and sweet and the Sweet Potato Pie was spiced and filled with this jammy sweet potato. Both were delicious! We had the monte cristo (French toast, ham, turkey, Swiss, honey mustard, and jam) which was sweet and savory. In addition, we had the chicken biscuit which had crispy chicken, honey butter, and hot sauce. Tasted more like buffalo sauce. We left feeling stuffed after carb loading for our hike.

We were on our way home and needed to stop for breakfast. Gracie's Luncheonette came up as close by. It turned out to be a great call to stop and eat there. They gave us a window seat with an amazing view. The food was really good and the service was great. My husband had the full breakfast and I had the waffle with berries and bananas. Before we left, we bought donuts that they sell as well. Amazing!

Wow, just wow. Gracie's Luncheonette is a gem of a restaurant. With a super fun and innovative menu--and food that delivers on incredible flavor, I was super impressed. The French toast sticks are 9 out of 10-crispy and absolutely delicious. The hash browns with roe and crème fraiche and a side of lox was also super tasty from 8 out of 10. So so so good. Can't wait to go back and try more items.

This review is for take-out donuts. Wow, totally worth the price and visit. Are they hipstery? Are they too much? Well, I live in Brooklyn, so I guess to me, they are regular donuts! Anyway, the family selected chocolate sea salt, strawberry sprinkles, cookie dough, and apple fritter (for me - I was trying to decide between that, the classic Boston Cream, and a maple bacon long john. The gentleman doling out the donuts said - do the apple fritter. Super fresh and will melt in your mouth.) I did not taste the kids donuts, but I loved my fritter and a bite of the sea salt (spouse choice) was quite tasty. The fritter had a lot of apple in it, so it felt 5% more healthy. :) They are also pretty big, so it took the kids three attempts to finish them. We will definitely visit again - and maybe try real food next time!

Stopped in for a lunch on the way home from Vermont on President's Day. The service was painfully slow. Server was great, but food (three sandwiches) took almost an hour. The food itself was very good, but a Luncheonette should be getting lunches out quicker. The bathrooms also need a very deep clean. An exposed DIRTY toilet brush is nauseating as well as black buildup all over the sink and floors.

What a lovely and unknowing location! My husband and I seeked out a drivable brunch place so here we were and it was great. We got seated right away, staff were pleasant and the location was ultimate. The Bloody Marys were spicy and decently strong. I had the chicken fried steak and asked for poached eggs. Unfortunately this was where they lost the star as the eggs were basically hard boiled and I look forward to runny eggs. My husband had the brisket hash and ate every bite. We also got 4 large donuts on the way out. Wish they gave us 2 boxes as the donuts are so big they smeared the frosting all over the inner lid of the box. Will definitely return!

I've been wanting to visit Gracie's forever and I finally got the chance! Needless to say, it totally lived up to the hype. I went on a Sunday morning with my boyfriend and we were sat immediately. It's such a cute spot and looks like a classic soda fountain. Their bakery case is the first thing you see when you walk in and it's filled to the brim with delicious donuts and baked goods. We started with a hot coffee and an iced coffee with their pumpkin cold foam. Both were fantastic! For our meals, I ordered the brisket hash with a homemade biscuit and my boyfriend got the full breakfast with an everything bagel. Both dishes were incredible! The hash was absolutely delicious. Our waitress was so kind and attentive - literally everything about our visit was perfect. I also ordered a slice of their pumpkin cake to go and that was incredible too. Highly recommend!

Really liked this place! This isn't just a diner. You can tell the effort, care, and creativity that go into the dishes. My wife had the Cobb salad. It was fresh, and you can check the photo. It's pretty much what you'd expect. I had the Gracie's burger, which was two patties, lots of carmelized onions, pickles, and "truck sauce." It came with nice, crispy shoestring French fries and ketchup. You might find it weird that I mention the ketchup. But it's homemade ketchup and it just might be the highlight of the meal! I am not a fan of ketchup, but this actually tasted like fresh tomatoes, and was pulpy. It just might be what the Barenaked Ladies call "Dijon ketchup." Check out the drinks list because there is a lot of interesting options. The sodas are also made in-house. I had the root beer, and my wife had something called coffee fizz. Root beer was good, the coffee fizz (strong coffee with seltzer) was very weird at first, but by the end of the meal, she had come around to it. I would definitely come back to check out more dishes.

Vibe: 8.5/10 - beautiful views and very clean! Service: 7/10 Value: 7.5/10 Full breakfast: 9/10 Breakfast burger: 9/10 Milkshake: 9/10 Overall: 8.3/10 (4.2/5) [To clarify our review system: 10 = we'll never have anything else as good as this in our lives (we use 10 very sparingly!) 9 = extraordinary 8 = great 7 = above average 6 = average Anything below 6 is being critical]

We stopped at Gracie's on a trip upstate on a whim. It was delicious. The place is so cute, very well taken care of and the food was all delicious! They have unique items like a cherry rickey drink- house baked cookies and sweets and delicious food options. The service was good and the ambiance was very nice. I would certainly stop by again if I was in the area- and recommend to anyone in the area!

What an amazing find! Truly enjoyed our experience and Gracie's. Beautifully decorated inside with a large pick of bfast items and donuts. What else can you ask for. Quaint view of the landscape towards the back of the restaurant. Seats large groups. Had the full bfast and #3 Buttermilk pancakes. Big farm-to-table feel. Tatsy indulgence without the inevitable crash you get at other places. Favorites were the biscuit and waffle, although wished the waffle could've been a bit crispier but thats just personal preference. We also took a maple donut to go-- so good. Staff on floor and bakery were very nice. Only qualm was that there was too much ice in the iced coffee with minimal pumpkin flavor. Otherwise, fantastic find!

Lindsay's is so much better!! Part of the problem, admittedly, was my high expectations. But, Gracie's was dirty, the people were virtually mean (I think it was the owner), and some of the food was a 4 out of 10, the rest worse. There's so many great local options, I won't be back.

Despite recommendations from friends, I was underwhelmed by my breakfast choice and the service on recent chilly December Saturday. I ordered the waffles with fruit. My friend ordered the avocado toast with eggs and liked it. The place was too crowded. My waffles were ordinary and with coffee and tax and gratuity totaled around $26. I enjoyed the McDonalds hot cakes with coffee better and lot cheaper up the road.

I really love Gracie's and am so glad it exists. The food is fantastic and, from what I can tell, almost everything is made in house - the bread, pastries, etc. And meats are sourced as locally as possible. The staff are super sweet and the ambiance is quite nice - like a somewhat old school diner that's been classed up a bit. The views from the back tables are beautiful. And the food is always excellent and reliably delicious. It also helps that it's always served with a smile AND they have fantastic cocktails. I love their Bloody Marys. They have definitely saved some mornings for me. This place is also perfect for families with children. They have top notch milkshakes, ice cream and super tasty burgers. Plus the addition of house made donuts, cookies and fritters really help make it a wonderful place to eat. Warning: it is not cheap. Despite the laid back old diner feel, the prices are not. But, honestly, you get what you pay for here. And I believe it's worth it - hence why Gracie's gets the 5 stars from me.

Vibes 10. Service 10. Food 10. Ambiance 10. It's perfect for a fun brunch with 20 people or a romantic haven for 2. Their burgers are banging, and their spicy chicken sandwich will blow your mind. Grab a donut before you sit-b/c by the time you come back to buy em, they're sold out. This is THE spot that will hit THE SPOT.

Visited this after a wedding and after hunting for gems at the Livingstonville Creekside Market. This was based off the bride and groom's recommendation and they didn't miss! The donuts I got were fine, nothing mind-blowing. But the fried chicken sandwich was great. Really juicy and tender. Everything you could want out of a fried chicken sandwich. I'd love to comeback because they apparently do a lot of the butchering in-house which is always cool to hear. This isn't a destination spot, but it is a spot worth dropping by if you're looking for lunch and you're in a 30 minute radius. These kind of places are a god-send on road trips where your only options are gas stations and questionable road-side restaurants.

After a few pastries from @catskillmountainbakery, I had a lunch date for a post holiday, gut-busting lunch as usual. Gracie's is a great option when you are in the Catskill or Cairo area. Particularly, their donuts but I'm here for lunch today. Hipster trendy diner feel with hipster trendy food, where everything is delicious and made in house. Expect to pay more for the quality of preparation and ingredients. Lazy Devils (deviled eggs), a hot-stuffed pretzel (artichoke and spinach), shrimp & grit fritters, mashed potatoes with gravy, and a tuna melt with poutine: $81 including a few drinks and tip. Tuna is made in house not from a can. Definitely grab a few donuts on the way out as they are the best around. They do take the Ulster Eateries VIP Card for 10% off.

I love this spot! A cute diner with a great view out back, Gracie's has wonderful milkshakes, meals, and don't forget the donuts! I really enjoyed the Gracie's burger and took a few donuts to go, and they were not too sweet and yeasty. Highly recommended the stop!

Super cute breakfast or lunch spot! We had a bigger group so got to try a little of everything which I much enjoyed! The donuts and the special daily hot stuffed pretzel (spinach artichoke) were out of this world and a perfect little sharing appetizer. I had the veggie burger which came looking a little deflated honestly but was absolutely delicious and flavorful. I loved the fresh skinny french fries, too! Also heard very positive things about the breakfast hash and the chicken biscuit! Service was a bit lackluster but the food spoke for itself. Gracie's is great cozy spot with something for everyone!

Love this place. It has a pretty comprehensive breakfast and lunch menu with am amazing arrays of donuts. I love their hot jelly wings, a bit southern and the hot jelly gives is a "thai" twist of sweet and spicy like sauce but not blatantly Asian. The loaded potato soup was superb and the elevated hash brown with smoked trout and salmon roe was delicious. Their chicken biscuit sandwich is always the right choice and I loved their version of fish and chips. More tempura airy battered fish than crumbly deep fried. Always get an array of donuts and share. Love their pistachio and the toasted coconut cream. They also had spinach and artichoke stuffed pretzel, which was perfectly for breakfast the next day. They have an area with a bar diner feel where you can eat alone and a big open and light filled dining area for bigger groups. The service has always been amazing. They are friendly, efficient and honest about the menu and their current favorites. Always great to have servers that know the menu.

Decent brunch place! They also sell baked goods at the front. The staff is nice and the restaurant is simple yet cute. Would come again if I'm in the area.

OMG!!! One of the best breakfasts I have ever had! Such a creative menu. This breakfast hash was phenomenal. They smoke the brisket for 36 hours. Homage brisket, they make their own hot sauce, local honey, and local products. Their tuna salad is made fresh from a tuna steak. The smoked fish salad is locally sourced & great smoky taste. They bake on premises and what a selection at the counter. The service was incredibly attentive. My waitress Gloria really pointed out things I would enjoy intuitively she really reflects that hometown hospitality. This place was packed when I got there and never stopped, yet they made you feel as if you were the only one in the place. The atmosphere is diner like with a counter, seats available, and a scenic comfortable modern dining room. I highly recommend.

Always terrific food and service. Every Time. They make everything inhouse! Full menu available at all times. Always fresh and always whole food, thoughtfully and carefully prepared. Recommend their Gracie's burger, the turkey sambo (actual turkey from a bird), veggie burger, and honestly, everything else. Shout out to the fish n chips! Don't sleep on the breakfast offerings. Donuts are the stuff of legend. Staff is amazing and vibe is exactly what you want for a casual meal overlooking the creek.

ORIGIN: Gracie's Luncheonette started off as a food truck and in 2016 expanded to a rooted location thanks to the acquisition and renovation of a once popular German-American diner (Koch's). Gracie's is led by two graduates of nearby Culinary Institute of America -- Allyson Merritt and Andrew Spielberg. CONCEPT: Given their background, it is not surprising to find Gracie's to be an elevated American diner experience, where condiments, beverages, and baked goods are made in house, and many ingredients are super fresh and locally sourced. LOCATION: Adding to the experience, Gracie's is off a country road in rural Leeds (population 377), and perched high above a creek. Despite this rural setting, Gracie's is a short swing off of interstate 87. AMBIANCE: A renovated neon sign draws passing travelers and residents to the diner. Inside, white walls display artwork, but the real attention grabber is what can be seen from the large south-facing windows. Here guests can get a picturesque scene worthy of depiction by one of the 19th century Hudson River School painters who once lived and worked in the region. SERVICE: With two car-stopping features, Gracie's is a popular destination. However, like many restaurants Gracie's has struggled with recruiting and retaining kitchen and service workers -- especially challenging in a rural town. A sign at the entrance (and their web site) called for applicants. During our visit, fifteen minutes after their 10 o'clock opening on a holiday Monday morning, there were only two servers, one of whom was also managing the growing number of customers waiting to be seated. As a result it took 40 minutes to receive our order. At that point, the interior of beef was tepid and not juicy, suggesting the dishes had been waiting for pick up for some time. FOOD: Thankfully it was possible to curb hunger with Gracie's donuts, which can be purchased separately at a counter dedicated to take out. These donuts were tall and yeasty, with significant flavor provided by the unique icings. I especially liked the lemon poppy seed and brown butter hazelnut donuts. Eager to compare a brunch dish I recently enjoyed at Norwalk's Tap Root, I ordered the brisket hash. My husband ventured to try country fried steak and eggs, something neither of us had experienced before. The brisket was cut into small rectangles and mixed with a similarly sliced preparation of potatoes, peppers, and onions, with two eggs crowning the dish. It was good, but not as flavorful nor generously proportioned as what I had experienced at Tap Root, perhaps it could be described as a dainty iteration. My husband's steak was a bit dry and chewy, but we both enjoyed trying the house-made biscuit that accompanied it. Strangely the sausage gravy that traditionally envelopes the dish was reportedly not available that morning, but the dish was offered nonetheless. To my surprise, my husband had scouted out information about the restaurant and knew to look out for house-made condiments. As a result he noticed that catsup was among the items not on our table and requested a taste. The catsup had a fresh, vinegary flavor. I look forward to experiencing Gracie's again and will look to arrive during a non-holiday weekday. Although our experience was not ideal, there were many indicators that suggest it was due to being understaffed during our visit. TIPS: Gracie's is closed on Tuesdays. Open through 3 PM other days, with extended hours on Fridays and Saturdays (closes at 7 PM). Local beer and cider are available, as are wine and cocktails. I look forward to trying the Orange Creamsicle on a summer evening. Breakfast items are available all day.

An elevated diner experience but you cannot deny the good food and the even better vibes

We were on a trip and stopped at Gracie's for dinner at 5:30 on a Saturday (they close at 7). They weren't super busy, but we also weren't the only people there. It has a cute diner vibe. They serve breakfast and lunch all day, which is nice! They recently changed their menu, and no longer have the two items I wanted to try from seeing photos on Yelp - the poutine and French toast sticks. We ordered the loaded fries, which were delicious. I ordered a grilled pimento cheese sandwich with a tomato, and my husband ordered the chicken biscuit. Their donuts and milkshakes look delicious, but we were full.

The donuts are worth a drive. Their texture is perfection. It is like a mad scientist successfully combined sugar with a cloud. And the donuts break apart as easily as a middle school romance, but with none of the drama. Our group split a dozen of these sugar glazed delights over a long weekend. After much research, our consensus favorite was Strawberry. It is the highest form of the medium, an apotheosis of breakfast pastry. Our most skippable is the Red Velvet--still excellent but it is a cake donut and not a yeast donut, so it lacks the airiness and lightness that set apart the others. Just add the stop into your GPS now. You can thank me later.

This is horrible I had the easiest item to eat I order a fruit cup. A FUIRT CUP and everyone else had the burgers and soup and it took 45 minutes and they can't even get ketchup my item was the easiest and came out last. unexceptional I hate this now my day is ruined

We all understand food prices currently and the egg issue but this is when you wish you had some warning so you could stop and get a gas station breakfast sandwich

Food is good, waitresses are friendly and accommodating. I will return!! Clean which is important.

After all the written hype this Chef and Companion took the ride to see for ourselves. Breakfast at 9am with a smile from our waitress. Coffee and tea in a jiff. On to the orders. Companion had the Avocado Toast with 2 sunny side ups and chili crisps (chili oil with deep fried garlic bits). The Toast, I believe was from 2 heels of fresh baked farmers bread but were toasted to a rock (Companion had to use a serrated knife to cut it). Two perfectly cooked eggs and the sliced avocado was spotless and vibrant. The chili oil was pedestrian. On the side, my Companion ordered Maple Sausage that where about 6 inches long and barley a pinky in circumference. The maple flavor was there but the herb(s) were too pronounced and not in a good way. Her entree was $14. and the side of Sausage was $8. (that's pricey). I ordered the Fried Steak and Eggs with Sausage Gravy, I was so looking forward to this.......The "Steak" was a slice of Top Round (I can't say 100% but it wasn't cubed steak) and a little tough with no seasoning and the breading was falling off. This was accompanied by 2 perfect "in & out" eggs. As far as the sausage gravy goes, I really don't know. There was maybe a tablespoons at the most on the plate. One slice of brown rye bread was sliced in half on the plate as well. My breakfast entree in my opinion was to small for the price ($18). This is just our experience. Yours could be different. I rate the food at a 3/5. Service was 4.5/5 and the Ambience was a solid 5/5 (The view out the window was superb). Go and make your own opinion My review is only my opinion. My knowledge comes from being Certified Executive Chef with a 4 year degree from the C.I.A. and a Masters in Food Science from Cornell.

Located in the middle of nowhere and it's packed! Brunch was awesome...even better with their bloody Mary. Definitely going back.

Today we stopped in with our visiting niece so she could enjoy one of the places we've really enjoyed eating since we moved out of Brooklyn. As COVID rates are on the rise again, and as one of us has a genetic immune deficiency that requires we be very careful, we masked up before coming in. It was after 2:00, and the counter was completely empty, so we thought we'd risk eating inside instead of wasting the disposables needed for a take-out order to sit outside. Half-way though our meal, people came in and sat on either side of us. After quick consultation, we said the person waiting on us at the counter, "Okay if we take these outside to a picnic table? We'll bring everything back in." She said, "No problem!" Apparently she was mistaken. When my dear spouse took things back in, a different employee took it upon themselves to b*tch him out for taking dishes outside. Prices are high, but quality of food has always been really good, and we've not thought it is out of line. In fact, we've never had food we disliked here. However, whoever it was who was so rude to my husband has undone all the good food. We're not coming here again.

Food was perfect, especially the waffles! Our server was quick and friendly. Wish we could come every day!

Service is great and so is the ambience. The donuts are to die for. I cannot say the same for the food we ate. I had the meatloaf sandwich which had literally no taste whatsoever. Blind would make it tasty, which it was not. Took it home and after cutting it up noticed it was not seasoned. Ground beef pounded into a rectangle block. I didn't even taste salt. Well I salted garlic, tomato, onion with oregano, salt, pepper ... and I made an a,zing meatloaf sandwich. Gracie's needs to rethink and reconstruct its meatloaf. Otherwise it should be advertised as your " ground beef...and that's it." We'll be back to try other dishes because the setting rocks, the staff is the best and the donuts....WHOA!

Stopped here on my way to Kaaterskills Falls. There was a short line to get in as they had just opened. Everyone in front of me was dining in so I told the host that I just wanted to order donuts and coffee and she said I can wait in front of the donuts. Stood there for a few minutes without any acknowledgment from the 2 girls working that area. Was a little confused if I was standing the right area to order the donuts. Eventually a different girl came to take my order but that was a strange encounter. Anyways, I got the Passionfruit with Cocoa Nibs and Cinnamon Apple Cheesecake donuts and hot coffee. The hot coffee tasted burnt so that was disappointing. The donuts were pretty good. Never had a passionfruit donut before.

Easily 5 stars all around! Worth the drive or if you are passing by - a must stop. Gracie's just hits it out of the park on all fronts. Yummy bakery items, filling and fresh breakfast and brunch plates. Great lemonade & coffee and drinks! Clean airy bright dining room with breakfast counter on other side. Service is hard working and ensures satisfaction. The View from outdoors is nice. The portions and value and flavor is on point. I never leave hungry. Easily the highest recommendation to eat here!

Gracie's Luncheonette is a very cool concept and the building itself is beautiful. The food was amazing. I had the Brisket with Mac & Cheese and Coleslaw. It reminded me of my ventures down south. The service left much to be desired. Long waits in a half full restaurant and an inattentive waitstaff are the reason for three stars. Assuming they can fix this issues it would be an easy five stars based on the quality, flavor, and execution of the dishes.

Everything is homemade and super flavorful. The Turkey sandwich with fries was delicious, and they have the thin shoestring fries that taste so good. The chicken and biscuit could have been a little bigger, but was the chicken was super tender with the right amount of sauce and the biscuit was not dry at all. Their sodas are homemade, so it's not quite as sweet as store-bought, but still taste good especially the ice cream floats. The staff was friendly and quick to help, and asked if we wanted to buy a doughnut while we were waiting. This spot has a pretty view of the river and very much a diner-feel.

French toast, waffles, coffee, homemade lemon lime soda and donuts were delicious. Will definitely return to this gem.

You can drive past this place a dozen times and not even take notice. If you did notice you would assume it's a old fashion small town diner that is mostly filled with locals and serves stale coffee. However none of that is true. Inside you will find the modern version of what diners should be. Clean, sleek and welcoming. First I must mention the doughnuts. Seriously look away. One won't be enough. You must try at least two maybe three. Then take two more to go. Calories don't count if you are on a weekend getaway is what they say..right? You are going for a hike or a kayak ride so you deserve to indulge in these treats is what they say...right? The menu has a good amount of choices but not overwhelming. Fried chicken, various breakfast choices and unique sandwiches as well as a few classic style diner choices. Overall a great spot not in a busy area but definitely worth the detour if you are passing through the area.

All day breakfast! I liked my Turkey club but it was very dry. Their waffles were great. I got the Irish Coffee Shake and the alcohol was strong. Their vanilla malt was very yummy. Loved their shakes. Cute restaurant - it was pretty empty when we arrived around 5pm and the service was great. We went back the next morning for pastries since they were all out by the evening. The Strawberry Shortcake was fantastic!!!!! Sadly no photo to share, ate it too quickly. 5/5 just for their pastries.

I've heard about Gracie's for a few years now and I found myself in the area so I couldn't wait to stop in and try the food. First off the table was dirty after seeing us, the person I was with had a dirty coffee mug with lipstick all over it. And I couldn't help it over here a table right next to us also had a glass that was dirty. So that didn't start out so well. I'm sorry to say that I felt that the price was overpriced and the food was not that great. Maybe I would've been better off just having a coffee and a doughnut.

Great, authentic and classic ! Friendly staff, diverse menu and the wait is worth it!

This place is five or ten stars all around, perfect in every way, wouldn't change a thing good. Cute, casual atmosphere, attentive & friendly service ..... and the food? To die for! Comfort food at its finest, wish I could order everything in the menu good! I ordered the spicy chicken sandwich which was a good call. I got an upgrade to poutine fries because I could. Wish I could have tried the Mac & cheese & cheeseburger but that's for next time! Got donuts to go and the maple bacon was just the right amount of sweet & salty.... I'm sure the others will be great as well.

Fried Chicken Breakfast Biscuit Sandwich! Crispy and juicy. Excellent. A little gem in the middle of nowhere.

Winner winner chicken dinner!!! Service was great. Our lunch was fantastic! Delicious fried chicken with mashed potatoes and slaw. The slaw was tangy and just right without being too heavy on the dressing/mayo. Would plan my trips north to hit them up again.

Was on the road - out of cell signal - when we passed by here and figured it would be a good rest stop. My expectations honestly were a little low, thinking that this may just be another greasy American diner, but was happily surprised to be completely wrong! First of all, inside is CLEAN and CUTE!!! I could see the staff constantly making sure everything was immaculate, even as I ate. If you're lucky with a window seat, you can get a great view of the river behind this restaurant I had the ALT - Avocado Lettuce Tomato with poached eggs. That fried tomato was excellent! Also couldn't help myself to a Maple Bacon donut- which was also delicious. I've had a maple bacon cookie before and the tastes couldn't balance out as well as this donut. Yum!!!!
