Bradley Wilcox

Definitely a hidden gem of the capital region. Very cozy rustic atmosphere. Staff is welcoming and very attentive. The food was VERY reasonably priced and the portion sizes are generous to say the least. Food was delicious, western omelet and eggs benny were delicious. Definitely shot to the top of our list and is our favorite diner in the area and will be returning soon!

Great place to grab a bite to eat. Very friendly staff, highly recommended

Kevin

Not from the area and from out of state, came across this place recommended by my uncle. Been twice over different years. Great food and price as well and the amount of food is enough to fill you as well. I talk about this place often in restaurant conversations of places to go and I dont recommend places often. Keep up the good work and I will be back sometime.

Me and my boyfriend went here recently as a sorta get out of the house breakfast.. The food was delicious we both had pancakes and bacon, the people that worked there were very sweet and kind. I loved the atmosphere too! It's nice, small, cozy and everyone seemed to know everyone there. I'm gonna tell my friends about this place, This is definitely going to be my favorite spot for "get out of the house" breakfast days!! 😋✨

Great food. Great prices and great people.

Ralph Rio

Good food, nice people, and low prices (about half compared to a typical chain restaurant). Definitely not a fancy ambiance. But has a nostalgic charm that is very hard to find. Tip: behind the counter, to the left of the cash register, on the wall is a poster for a 'Dance Party' on February 2, 1959 - the list of bands that played is fantastic!😊 In July 2024 and July 2025, the lovely poster is still there!

Patrick

Breakfast was great. The coffee was a special blend - best diner coffee I have had. Annie our waitress was fast and friendly. I will definitely be going back.

Will Golden

For 25 years I've come here. For 25 years I've never left hungry, broke, or unloved. The food is not gourmet, it is family run, home cooked food, with love, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Love you guys like family. ❤️ 👍

Mercenary X

Amazing service, great food, great prices. Place is a bit run down but thats okay! It makes it a bit worn in and rustic looking. Gives it character! I wouldn't want them to change a thing!

Kerry Fitch

Very very relaxing, comfortable atmosphere, service is outstanding. Couldn't think of a better place to be. We love Don & Paul's wouldn't go anywhere else!!!

My favorite mom and pop type of diner. I love to have breakfast here. The food tastes great and prices are even better. I love the environment, it's a super family friendly place and very cozy. Friendly staff and attentive service. Can't recommend this little restaurant enough. ^_^

Ava Kovacs

Went for the first time today with my cousins, and it was amazing and super cheap! Staff there were so nice and patient. The only downside was the seats they were a bit uncomfortable but otherwise everything else was good!

Matthew Bastian

The food was great and not expensive. Is your typical low-key diner. The coffee was good but served in a paper cup. The cutlery was dispensed in a small paper bag. I will definitely eat here again.

Shawn Ballard

I first got here and ordered the drinks and was not very pleased with the size of the grapefruit cup for a large. Needless to say I thought from the beginning that I'm not going to like it here. Never judge a book by it's cover. Besides the drink I have nothing but praises for my breakfast. Very nice size omelette and rye toast was really pretty good. Not much contact from the waitresses but I won't complain. They weren't nasty. The price? Amazed. Without tip it came out to $20.84. I'll be back definitely.

This is definitely a definition of a dive diner. This place probably hasn't been upgraded since the '40s. It is quaint, service was excellent and the food was also. Just a little seedy looking as far as the interior goes. But then again, I'm not eating the interior.

Adam

Solid service, food, and price. But give me a break with the Fox News there’s enough politics in this day n age, gotta have it on both tv screens too? Glad I got a pickup order than have to sit and listen to propaganda, might go back for pickup orders but not to sit in which is too bad as a local.

Richard Squailia

Step back in time and have a meal here. I had a great time talking with patrons and my waitress. Very cute town with a marina on the Erie canal and junction of the Hudson River and Champlain canal. 2025 best cup of drip coffee I've ever had. Surprised me as a cappuccino drinker 😂

Doug Thomas

Used to be a great place but seems though they went downhill the food doesn't taste right and when I was eating kept smelling this awful smell and found a bucket catching toilet water from upstairs
