The diner had a variety of breakfast dishes, specials, juices, and lunch options, all for a very affordable price! My friends and I came in a Sunday morning around 10 a.m. and found seats for five along the counter after 10 minutes. We had pancakes, French toast, eggs, ham, home fries, and omelets. All the food was solid and it came under $10 for each of us! Service and fast and we got to see Dan’s son cook in front of us (who runs the diner now). Highly recommend!” — Angela Y.

They have a very nice menu, including some delicious salads, most notably the Greek and Wedge salads. And a medley of pasta dishes that we hope to try next time! They also have a nice seating area and great bar! Service was also very nice. All-in-all a great eatery on Route 66 just before entering lovely Chatham!” — John R.
6. Bartlett House

- Rated 4 out of 5 (109 reviews)
- Price: $$
- Address: 2258 Route 66 in Chatham
- Top review: “YES, it’s worth driving down here just for the Boston Cream donut, even though it’s not really a donut but a German berliner (boule de Berlin). The pastry is fresh, rich, and soft, but most importantly, the cream is not too sweet and the chocolate tastes like dark chocolate (and not like cocoa sugar). My husband called it the best doughnut he ever had in his life and I’m so glad to have found a piece of European nostalgia in the Catskills. We also had a sandwich which was delicious but not extraordinary. Worth mentioning that the bread was excellent though. Highly recommend picking up lunch here before heading to Art Omi or just enjoying it on their charming terrace.” — Patricia D.
