Restaurants near Athens

“Yummy & Friendly. I attended the Greene County Chamber breakfast this morning at The Athens Rooster. It was my first visit. The food was delicious, the service/hospitality fabulous and I was genuinely impressed by how clean and fresh the place both looked and felt.The aesthetics of the Rooster coupled with the great food and service are an tremendous combo.”

“Wonderful local Pizzeria. The penne with vodka sauce is a king’s feast! The first time we came in was the weekend we moved up the lake and the waitress was incredibly kind to our daughter. Afterwards our daughter said “that’s my favorite person I’ve met so far.” They also helped us take care of a delivery mix up from the Hudson Stella’s super quickly and graciously. Definitely a community staple!”

“On a Sunday afternoon during our weekend stay in Hudson we ware lucky enough to get a table here and what a treat that was!We got some appetisers and threes different mains for us to try. For a moment it felt like we are in Tuscany and not in Hudson.A definite recommend!It may be our favourite Gem!!!”

“You have to visit this special place! They put a lot of thoughts into making each dish. The cafe is bustling for Sunday brunch. Everyone was very friendly and food came out quick. If you’re feeling adventurous their specials include some bold dishes! I truly love this place and it made Hudson such a cool town too. I prefer this restaurant to lots of Michelins. This is where you get food with a soul.We especially enjoyed the pig foot rice (it’s boneless and you don’t really see the shape of the pig foot) and stuffed duck neck (it was nothing like what we imagined; it’s kind of like a sausage. The dish has chestnut which is very special!!)Can’t wait to go back and try more dishes!!”

“Fantastic food and drinks. Very fresh and carefully crafted. Very nice restaurant inside with good acoustics and lighting. The menu can be a bit difficult to decipher if you’re not familiar with Spanish but the waiters are great at explaining each item, if necessary. We felt a bit bad because we were asking the waiter about everything because we had no idea what we were reading. Overall we had a great experience and would return if we came back to the area again.”

“We stopped by this cool little cafe in Cairo on our way back home to NYC after a quick weekend in Windham. The people who work there are so warm and friendly.We ended up getting an iced latte and some of their delicious pastries, the chocolate croissant, ham and cheese croissant, and a pack of their salted chocolate chip cookies.They were kind enough to include a small madeleine on top of my latte. Everything tasted so good, it’s a shame they’re so far away. Definitely worth a stop if you’re ever in that area! :-)”

“Don't be fooled... Although the "VV" designation on the menu means that the dish is vegan, there are many more things on the menu that can be veganized! Tamale? ✅ Loaded fries? ✅. Food is quite delicious! Staff is really nice but the place can get overloaded and a touch slow at peak times.”

“Vibe , food, pastries ... outstanding! The people who run this .. outstanding! Fresh ingredients and great options! Love the avocado pesto toast and the pumpkin muffin was the best i ever had!”

“I was away for the weekend with my wife in the area. I had heard so much about this place so I decided to give it a try. I assume the person that took my order was the owner and he was very friendly and pleasant. My sandwiches were made fairly quickly and I brought them back to where I was staying. We had two bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches on a bagel and they were wonderful and the coffee was delicious as well.”

“We got married at Vanderbilt Lakeside in August 2023 and had a wonderful experience working with Henrietta and Matt after stumbling upon the venue on Airbnb. It was meant to be because we later figured out that we had frequented Henrietta’s bar, Night of Joy, in Brooklyn when we first started dating and her amazing aesthetic really comes through. We had our closest friends stay with us at the house for the weekend and hosted 100 guests.The look and feel of the space is uniquely chic and quirky all at once with beautiful modern and vintage accents. It's quite whimsical which makes for awesome wedding photos - we didn’t need any additional decor, except for flowers. The backyard/deck space and lakeside views were exquisite in late summer sunshine. The day of our wedding the rain held out for us and we were able to have our ceremony on the lawn, facing the lake and had dinner under a tent on the deck with additional seating in the adjacent room with the sliding doors fully open, and dancing in the bar room under the disco ball. The lawn games and pool table added to the summery and fun atmosphere.Henrietta was very clear in her communication, very responsive, patient throughout our planning process from beginning to end, and offered recommendations for other vendors and services, which were really helpful to us. Henrietta and Matt were also super helpful and flexible in assisting us with our food and beverage selections, answering our many many questions, and providing staff (who were all friendly and professional) when needed. All of the food was truly excellent and everything was served on time. The grilled cheese sandwiches and handcut fries we had as afterparty snacks were a massive hit. Henrietta was also around and available to assist throughout our wedding weekend, which we really appreciated and she communicated well with all of our vendors.We’re so grateful that we found Vanderbilt Lakeside and will forever cherish the memories of our wedding there. We highly recommend it!”

“Celebrated the New Year at an event hosted here, and enjoyed the great Korean cuisine, the bartenders were amazing, and the bathrooms were amazing works of art with glow iridescent paint.”

“Cute little coffee shop with store and gallery. Coffee is pretty good and they have packed snacks and pastries but only in morning because it sells fast. Only a couple of tables to sit.”

“Don't walk, run to See and Be. Best sourdough bread you've ever had. Gluten intolerant? Not with this bread, honey! I ate a whole loaf and felt nothing but satisfaction.”

“One of our favorite places, if you’re in the area and like cinnamon rolls look no further! Nina’s cinnamon rolls are some of the BEST. We’re so excited to work with her for our wedding cake!Dietary restrictions: Nina does offer a selection of gluten and dairy free desserts that are delicious!”

“What a gem! Was visiting from NYC and stopped by for brunch. Loved George and his team, they were so welcoming and accommodating. Food was delicious. Recommend coming here a thousand times over.”

“Recommended by Kerri at Owls Hoot Barn (my Airbnb host who I also recommend!). Definitely worth going to check out if you’re up here — sandwich was amazing and Mate Latte with oat was great too. The servers and mission of the deli puts a cherry on top of the cozy experience going in. Definitely recommend if you’re in or out of town for breakfast or lunch.”

“Relaxing lowkey spot with some major grandma vibes. Classic American breakfast food done right. Fluffy ENORMOUS pancakes, perfect home fries, and tasty crispy bacon. Service was quick and the owners are lovely. Don't be surprised if you have to wait up to 10 minutes to be seated, it's small and clearly word has gotten out about this gem. Highly recommend!”

“I know being I was a past waitress at the original Piccolo’s and then a general manager until retired 11/1 many will say my review is biased but being that I have had the opportunity of being in the kitchen while the food is prepared I can 100% tell you the food and sauce is made from the best of ingredients following past recipes of Chef Rodrigo and Chef Daniel. The sauce is homemade and is authentic Italian. The specials that are posted daily are made from the talents of Chef Daniel and his staff as they pride themselves on delighting the public . The staff goes above and beyond to make sure your dining experience is pleasurable. ?”

“The food was ?? amazing!The Cafe is so welcoming, great decor and just fits!The owner is the sweetest and instantly made us feel like we belonged!From the moment we walked in, I knew we would be there a while because we didn't want to leave!Amazing food, amazing service and staff, amazing atmosphere, amazing music.Just loved this Cafe and plan to make it a repeat location of our girls lunch dates!”

“I was in Catskill for work, and I was surprised to see a Dominican restaurant. I'm so glad I went in. Serving size was huge. Price is very reasonable. The food was fantastic. I felt like I was back in the Bronx. Restaurant was clean and service was friendly. I'll definitely return.”

“I was looking for a coffee-ish shop with good food and stumbled upon Quinnie’s. It’s a little bit outside of Hudson but worth it to ditch the overwhelming crowds on Warren Street. The food was delicious, counter service is always a plus and they have delicious coffee. It’s a great place to hang out in the nicer weather too because they have a little patio area AND they sell cocktails!!Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian optionsKid-friendliness: Outside area for kids not a lot of food options unless your kid’s bougieWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair ramp”

“The most amazing cinnamon rolls and breakfast in general! Stopped here 2 days in a row while in town for the weekend and both days we had an amazing brunch (sour cream pancakes, breakfast burrito, egg sandwich, maple latte) - I’m obsessed and can’t wait to come back. Inside is dog friendly ?”

“This review is long overdue. Bar Bene is our favorite spot to come to when we are in Hudson. They have a beautiful backyard firepit and a great wine/charcuterie menu, which combined make the perfect relaxing evening. The owner and employees are all so friendly and warm. What a fabulous place!”

“We came here based on the reviews after a day of skiing at Hunter mountain. The owner Elise was amazing, helpful even though it was busy! Food was definitely fresh and ”

“Met friends for breakfast, fantastic breakfast sandwich (out of avocado :/) but the GF waffle was amazing for my friends with celiac. Great coffee, attentive staff, and the atmosphere is adorable! Bought fresh flowers as we were leaving, highly recommend for breakfast/brunch!”

“Got an espresso to stay. Came with a little cookie which was a nice touch. My pics don't include the spoon cause i left it at the pickup station. Friendly staff and unique environment. Smells like leather and machine oil so if you like that then it's the coffee shop for you.”

“Terrific place. Cozy lunch in the rain. Minor miscommunication about my order which was my fault and staff super graciously comped order. Really appreciate them!”

“Lives up to is name, adorable, fun and friendly old time ice cream parlor feel. Nice selection of ice cream flavors and sundae and shake selections. Good prices, highly recommend!”

“Ordered the duo platter with brisket and jerk chicken it was amazing the pickles and garlic mashed potatoes were awesome we will definitely be back.Parking: Convenient”

“Their veggie rice bowl was the perfect lunch, and I really appreciate all the fun (and gluten free) condiment options to customize your meal! The spicy pickled garlic and house-made kimchi are sooooo good. I’ll definitely be coming back!!”
