Truss and Trestle

Very good breakfast and service. The steak and eggs were tender and delicious. Asked for my bacon crispy and they made it perfectly. Staff were friendly and nice, keep our coffee full and hot. Great place to stop to eat!

We were visiting the area and found this gem! The food was quintessential diner food and was delicious, we cleaned our 3 plates! The vibes are sweet, the staff and service was welcoming and we enjoyed our time!

awesome little diner off the beaten path. food (breakfast) was excellent! Had a number of things off the menu and everything was very nice

Food is great but the owner is another story. I hope anyone who reads this understands that they're going to be essentially dealing with someone who berates their staff and customers openly. Seek help asap or close the restaurant. You're clearly not cut out for the field.

True gem right off the highway. Took a break from the highway south to NYC and stopped to have some pastrami Rueben sandwich and fish and chips. Friendly wait staff, rustic but very clean, full bar but did not take advantage since we had more trip to go. We sat indoors but there was some outdoor seating. Food was hot, fresh and delicious!

cute little spot with outdoor and booth seats. Highly recommend the brisket tacos. Great atmosphere

We got off the highway to try this place because my husband wanted to try the gyro egg and cheese and it did not disappoint! The corned beef hash and breakfast tacos were also delicious. The style and decor is quite fun and thoughtful as well. Definitely worth the stop if you are passing through!

We went to the Truss & Trestle Diner in Rosendale for an early dinner tonight. It was our first visit, and after hearing several positive comments, I was looking forward to finally trying it. I’ll say right away: I will be returning — very soon. The interior looked just as I imagined from driving by: clean, well-done, and fully committed to the truss-and-trestle theme. It’s not a large space, but very comfortable, with booth seating up front, a few tables in the back room and a long countertop facing a full bar. I was especially pleased that the owners resisted the trend of hanging televisions on the walls. (I understand that in sports bars — but not when I’m trying to enjoy a meal) The Pulled Pork dinner I ordered exceeded expectations. The portion was large, and the pork was perfectly seasoned — flavorful without being drowned in sauce. It was served over hand-cut cheese fries that were crisp and not oily, clearly cooked in fresh oil. The dish was topped with fresh red cabbage and a few habanero slices. Everything was cooked perfectly and served hot and promptly. She had a chicken & bacon sandwich that came with the same hand cut fries. The meal was perfectly cooked and very hot. The taste, seasoning and size of the sandwich was very good. Service was great, but we were the only patrons at the time we were there, it was early for dinner. I would comment though - throughout our dinner a gentleman who appeared to be the owner using his loud “outside” voice was having a discussion with the waitress as he walked around behind the counter. The lengthy discussion was mostly about how annoying customers can be and the type of questions they ask. I wouldn’t want to hear my dentist complain about his patients as I’m in the chair, same holds for restaurant owners where I am currently dining. With the volume he was speaking at, and no other patrons in the place providing ambient noise we often had to pause our dinner conversation. I am chalking that up to a one-time thing, we were the only customers there for early dinner, maybe he wasn’t customer service focused right then. As more customers entered, he did go in the back. All that aside, the food, service, and atmosphere were excellent — and I’m not only planning to return; I’m genuinely eager to.

Everything is well made and delicious. I've tried Huevos Rancheros and the Turkey Club. Looking forward to trying some more. It's low key atmosphere and seat yourself, which is nice. A cute place for a meal.

Excellent food and wonderful service. I highly recommend this restaurant. The atmosphere is really nice.

I've lived here for so long and never stopped in for some reason... not sure why. First, the place was so cute indoors. The night I went, it was pretty full but still seats available. Service was very quick and friendly. The food though.. omg. I got the pastrami sandwich which was out of this world! You have to get it if you go. I had a mixed drink too, something similar to a tequila sunrise. Took a slice of chocolate torte to go. The food is delicious and so affordable. Next time, I'll be back for breakfast. Can't wait!

I wanted to love this place. Had a different vibe to it than other diners. Like they were trying to be upscale. Our server was really nice and attentive. I thought the food was under seasoned. But I am willing to go back and try a different menu option. They did have a great selection of beers, and I saw an apple cider margarita on their specials board that sounded tasty.

Fantastic food! Been a local for over a year and this is my favorite local spot... their Nachos are incredible. Breakfast is amazing. As good as any eatery in the restaurant "scene" in Hudson NY and would be welcome in Greenwich Village... their French Onion soup is that good!

Perhaps they had a bad day, but someone here does not know how to use a frier. Both the fries and the haddock were soggy with the fries being inedible and the haddock was edible but only bc it was in the fish tacos so the other items on the taco masked its taste. Yuk!

This was a great spot for lunch while visiting the area. Kind of a hidden gem since its not too big but easy to spot from the road! Our waitress was running the whole place by herself without issue - many thanks to her! It seems like locals frequent this place as well, and I'm not surprised from its hip but cozy interior combined with the great food. Their pulled pork and beef burger were one of the best I'd ever had. Definitely going back if we visit the area again!

I have been here numerous times over the years and was hesitant to write a review for two completely different reasons. I will explain. First reason is in certain Facebook local groups a bunch of Kyle and Karens seem to have taken a certain disliking to the owner and how he handles, reacts or comes off to customers. Now can he be loud? I would say boisterous is a better term. Can he be at times obnoxious? I suppose you can view him that way if you are an entitled narcissist. Does he come off as arrogant? Perhaps if you are hangry then that is a possibility. But is the food excellent? YES, YES, YES and again even a bigger YES!!! It's diner food but in the way where everything is painstakingly thought out and painstakingly executed. So when such attention to detail is given in the restaurant business occasionally the Chef/Owner might just have a Rockstar diva moment and tell someone who is being unreasonably difficult to go somewhere the sun doesn't shine. So with all that being said I wanted to have enough experiences to understand was it him or was it the Karen/Kyles being unreasonably unrealistic and arrogant and my overall conclusion is.......if you are considering going here with a Karen or a Kyle just don't. Do yourself a favor and go to Applebees or one of those average diners in Kingston. 2nd reason I was hesitant to write a review. It's one of my favorite places in all of Ulster county and the place is small and would prefer it to not become one of those trendy overhyped joints that all the Brooklynites/Citidiots flock to and ruin it for us loyal patrons. - Phoenicia Diner comes to mind. Speaking of the Phoenicia Diner the best way to describe this place is: think of the Phoenicia diner. Now think of the Phoenicia diner if the food actually lived up to its hype . As for the rest of the service here. They are always amazing and 5 star. Tip them well. Also the music playlists he usually has going tells me he definitely knows good music as well as he knows good food.

I've been here many times, the food tastes great but I leave hungry and broke everytime, the "double patty smash burgers" are sliders anywhere else, when you order wings you get 8 not 10 and pay the price of 20, great ambiance if you like watching a coked up drunk owner racing up and down the bar talking so loud you can hear him at dollar general, but if that's what you're into this is the spot for you

Awesome upscale "diner" in Rosendale, but it's quite much more than a diner! This place has a full bar, escalated menu which features custom in-house smoked brisket & other meats. They have daily specials, very friendly staff, & cool atmosphere. I'm kind of wondering why it is called a DINER because I've never seen a diner this interesting since..... never(?) Plenty of parking, it's right off of route 32 going north on the left in a small shopping area just after passing downtown Rosendale. Fun little hang w a great vibe. Stop in and be prepared for something casually eclectic. Maybe... A modern western watering hole infused w time%location travel from Casablanca via Texas???? Houston, WE DO NOT have a problem!!! Except I think the signage that says "BAR"should be lit up! Will be back for sure And good cocktail menu!!!

This place rocks. The food was great (diner food but everything is fresh & really well done), outdoor patio is beautiful & shaded, indoor bar is really cool, & our waitress was extremely nice. Came here on our yearly trip to the Catskills, will definitely return.

Wifey and I were up here with my sister and law and brother in law and they recommended Truss and Trestle. (Full disclosure- my nephew's girlfriend works here) First off - they have a very nice craft beer selection and a full bar. The owner, Gerard, smokes his meats on site and while I only tasted the pulled pork it was the best pulled pork I've had up here in the area. No lie, it is fantastic and my brother in law a burrito with brisket and he raved about it too. Wifey ordered the pulled pork and black bean quesadilla and I had the BBQ chicken and black bean quesadilla. I also ordered a KCBC Zoctoberfest and Wifey had a KCBC Superhero Sidekick IPA. Our quesadillas were freaking amazing. I mean, it's just a quesadilla, right? WRONG!!! There are lot's of great selections on this menu, but if you come here I 100% recommend these quesadillas! You won't walk away from this meal hungry...I'm a big guy and I was stuffed. For dessert we had some kind of cheesecake concoction that was OUT OF THIS WORLD! I can't say this loud enough...come try Truss and Trestle...you won't be disappointed. I can't wait to come back and try something else on the menu!

While visiting the area for the weekend, this place was recommended as an option by our host. We popped in on a Saturday morning for breakfast and loved the place. We sat at the counter and ordered a Bacon, Egg and Cheese and a breakfast burrito. Both were excellent. The staff was friendly, but service was a tad slow. No biggie as we weren't really in a rush. They have a full bar and my wife had a mimosa, which she loved. We enjoyed our meal so much, we returned the next day and tried the French toast and a Sausage, Egg and cheese. Very good again. Definitely worth coming here if you are in the area and looking for an easy, comfortable meal.

Was in the mood for a great diner breakfast passing through the area and this hit the spot. Excellent. And the hostess/waitress was great. Handled a decent sized crowd and was very friendly and skilled.

Thank you so much for fixing my mothers day after the bad experience at another eatery. Your food is delicious and staff are friendly and kind. I greatly appreciate you and will recommend to others.

Imagine if old school greasy spoon meets upstate cool. That's the best way I can describe Truss and Trestle Diner. I've driven by it on Rt. 32 for a little while now and we woke up this morning wanting an old school diner breakfast. It's what NY is all about so it goes hand in hand. The atmosphere is relaxed, modern but with a vintage Hudson Valley vibe. Walked in and was greeted by a friendly waitress who knew that I was in desperate need of coffee. The menu is a perfect mix for a diner who offers breakfast, lunch and dinner. There are so many options on there that look amazing and I know I'll be back for lunch and dinner. They even have a great cocktail list for a late night sip and bite. I got the Irish Hangover which is a three egg Swiss cheese omelette with corned beef. We also got the home made corned beef hash, which warms the soul. Their breakfast will absorb any of the previous nights fun and replace it will a slice of normalcy. I can't wait to come back and try the rest of menu and I highly recommend that if your in the Rosendale area, grab a booth or stool. You won't be disappointed.

Judging a book by its cover and all that... Stopped by on a whim, not expecting much from a roadside (literally) diner with no reviews, and was pleasantly surprised to find a cute, modern setting, a contemporary menu, and friendly, unhurried service. My parents report that their omelet and gyro were exactly as they'd hoped, my daughter's avocado toast was devoured in a matter of minutes. Highly recommend!

The tuna melt and tater tots were phenomenal! Really enjoyed this. The fish and chips were not the best... the fish was a bit over fried and didn't really have much flavor. We also ordered the Thai chicken wings, which were surprising good and crispy.

Ended up here on a whim after a trip to Albany and so glad we stopped in! Excellent ambiance! Wonderful service! Breakfast tacos rule! Don't sleep on the hash. Wish we lived closer so we could come back.

I just had supper at truss and trestle diner in Rosendale. It was delicious. I had the black bean tacos and an artisan beer. The server was prompt and efficient. The music was pleasant. I will definitely be back. I live right around the corner, so it's nice to have such a good eatery nearby.

Cool place with decent food. We loved everything we ordered and look forward to trying out more on their eclectic menu!

Food is always cooked to perfection, menu is diverse, something for everyone. The staff is amazing. My wife and i eat there often. Don't miss out.

The food was excellent, fast service and a nice atmosphere. You can tell the owners care about their establishment. Would definitely return! The side of corn beef hash was one of the better ones I've ever had. We had eggs, home fries and toast. Two others had omelettes and all enjoyed their meal.

Great food.. Perfectly mixed drinks.. Even better service.. A out of the way spot with a very desirable menu..

We were staying nearby and excited to tey this place. Tried to order take out and the manager was strangly rude and hostile. Disappointed but we ordered from Darlings instead!

Super cool diner! Food was great, atmosphere is very cool and great service! Great omelette and Bloody Mary!

One of the best diner I've been to. Me and my BFF's loved our food. Our waitress was awesome.

Inventive menu executed well. Great service. We sat outside in their enclosed patio and enjoyed the meal and ambiance.

Our server was so nice and the food was DELISH. I also liked the cozy atmosphere. I don't live anywhere near here but I will definitely come back!

This place is terrible. 32 Lunch blows it away. We've been here a few times and each time we hope it gets better but it gets worse. The place smells terrible and like throw up or dirty sour rags. The staff has no personality, the food is awful and the service is terrible too. Burger was like a hockey puck, fries were soggy, pancake was dry and flat, no fluff, brisket is so fatty, we'll never be back. Only nice thing is the decor. Cute place inside. Step it up a few notches.

Food quality has gone downhill since it first opened a few years ago. Originally the pastrami sandwich was piled with meat and fantastic. Now...not so much. Ditto for fish and chips which were dry and very thin. I guess you have to attribute it to the economy and pandemic. Service remains very good but in the absence of great food it is of little consolation...

On our way to Mohonk and found this gem. Great food and service. Very reasonably priced. Would definitely come back if in the area again.

Stopped for lunch and spent $27.00 on the worst salad I ever had in my life. Advertised as 'romaine heart salad' - anything but. Lettuce right out of the bag, a few tiny tomatoes, diced purple onions so small they were lost at the bottom of the plate, and tough strips of overdone chicken. On top of which I waited 20 minutes to be served. A big disappointment.

Excellent food, excellent service, excellent ambiance. Rosendale mainstay. T&T is a great place for a meal.

A gem of a diner with ambiance as well as tasty dishes. The place is clean and cozy. The brisket Rueben was succulent and the haddock tacos a work of art.

We went for our birthday dinner last night and it was pretty decent. Some meals were super good and some were ok, but very oily. The French onion soup had lots of onions and very good flavor. Cauliflower wings were super yummy but very thickly breaded. Brisket also had good flavor but was very greasy, as was the Mac and cheese. My club sandwich was really good. Large portions and we were able to eat enough of the food to overlook the oily parts. Crab cake sandwich was to die for, though--a definite highlight. I'd return and maybe try the salads.

Really loved this little spot. We're hoping to move in this area, and this spot helps my enthusiasm to move! Great food and so charming.

I've been going here about 1x a week since they've opened & haven't been disappointed yet! I love the salmon BLT sandwich (can also get with a crab cake), the Fireworks bagel, chili, the Whole Trestle Mess, pulled pork dinner: it's all been delicious! Serving sizes are perfect, "just right" I'd say. I rarely have leftovers, but I never leave unsatisfied. Coffee is good. Staff is always helpful & pleasant and the space is clean and nice.

BBQ!! If you can't get to Texas for brisket or pulled pork, go to the Truss & Trestle. We had both and it was decadence on a plate. Also, the key lime pie was really good.

Amazing diner style restaurant . The brisket is perfectly smoked and absolutely delicious! Service is friendly and helpful. I got the Reuben tacos . heaven ! we added a side of coleslaw which like everything else is home made and so good. can't leave out the best bloody mary . major thumbs up. the owner is a really nice guy and we had a great conversation with him Make sure to check this place out !

We've been going to the truss and trestle Diner for about 2 years now. This place was an A+ in our book. They had amazing smoked meat dishes, delicious tacos, breakfast, Reuben's.. pirogies and a really great drink selection. The flavor explosions in some of their dishes was amazing! We were probably going here 2-3 times a week and telling everyone to try it! Then About 6 months ago it changed. The smoked meat was just ehh, different flavors and the food wasn't the same. We stopped going, but decided to give it another chance. I ordered a salad the was missing 3 of the 5 ingredients in it, ok not a big deal I could live with this... until I pulled a massive hair out of my mouth!! I didn't finish the food and we just decided to never come back. I did politely tell the waitress and she was more than accommodating and took it off the bill. So disappointed about this.

We had a great experience. Three of us tried pulled pork, a burger platter and cheese steak sandwich. all came nicely presented, fresh lettuce, two tomatoes and three pickle slices on my platter with fresh cut fries. my burger was topped with crispy bacon and Swiss ( I skipped the jalapeño avocado on top). $14 platter, comparable with all the other local places and it was fresh and perfect. my husbands pulled pork sandwich came with fresh cabbage slaw and jalapeños. A nice selection of drafts and cold brews. the restaurant was very clean and nicely decorated. the owner was outback loading firewood into the smoker. I have been curious about the Truss and Trestle and wondered about the menu and prices. We were not disappointed and will return for another Friday night or lunch after a hike. Thanks!

My son and I stopped here to grab a bite to eat before heading to the Rosendale Theatre for a movie. My son had a burger, which he said was delicious and I had the smoked brisket tacos, which were also delicious! They had some drink specials so I decided to try their Mint Margarita and it was yummy! The place is small with a large bar and several booths to sit in. The waitress was very nice, but since she was servicing the entire place by herself, the service was a little slow.

The pastrami sandwich was perfection on a plate--juicy, flavorful, and wrapped in a warm hug of nostalgia. A must-try for anyone craving a slice of deli heaven. The service from our bartender Lisa was top notch. It's super cute no matter what time of the day (open for breakfast, dinner, lunch, which is impressive!) and they have cute cocktails. Fun combo for a place you think may just be a diner

The place is very clean and the staff is nice but the food was flavorless. We've only been for breakfast so maybe lunch and dinner are better but the home fries were dry and not crispy, the pancake tasted boxed. Everything needed salt. The breakfast tacos were a huge portion but were bland other than the smoky brisket which was dry. Unfortunately, the tastiest thing I ate was the ketchup.

Menu sounded good but not a single thing we ate even approached that--it was actually all really REALLY bad. Soup tasted like it was out a can... Tacos were a total joke... Salad tasted like it came out of a bag kit. Frankly, i don't think they make any actual food there. It all wreaks of some cheap hacks that they try to pass off as house made. Final thought and a good rule of thumb, if a restaurant puts cheap pink soap into a higher quality hand soap container you should leave that establishment immediately. Undoubtedly they don't respect you, the food quality and preparation or the industry that they represent. Ps We both got sick shortly after. I'm assuming it was the pierogis and the 1/4 inch of oil that was sitting at the bottom of the plate.

Excellent lunch waitress, handles the whole place with aplomb ... cute design also Excellent lunch waitress, handles the whole place with aplomb ... cute design also Excellent lunch waitress, handles the whole place with aplomb ... cute design also

Food was good but price is twice what it should be for what we had. $170 for four people at a diner, with one drink each? Food wasn't twice as good as 32 Lunch (the previous diner at this location) and not half as much character. The staff was friendly.

On 8.28.2021 went and ordered their 'flagship' $ 18.00 !! pastrami, way over peppery sandwich.The server later mumbled something about the pepper aioli wtf ! But the answer I got when i asked my server to ask why the whole tasteless sandwich had thin pieces of maybe one whole slice of something-that might have been pastrami? on it. The kitchen's answer was unsatisfactory to say the least-when it should have been no charge! It shows the owners lack of culinary & managerial and yes, customer service skills which is the backbone of any good eatery imho. Their trying much too hard here to make everything look 3 star pretty and presentable with no subsistence to back it up. Hey, but its the proverbal greasy spoon, if you like grease this is the place to go! I ordered the 'homemade' $ 6.00 onion rings-homemade my ass! and they came well done too boot, should have never left the kitchen. Not much taste there either, why just like their 'flagship' what a joke-pastrami sandwich. But if you look at the picture of the 'flagship' I posted, i'm sure your gonna avoid this one, just like me
