And then there were 7: Upstate NY’s classic Mountain View diners (Taghkanic: restaurants, prices)

Another list from NYUpstate.com: https://www.newyorkupstate.com/resta...ew-diners.html

Are there any that you would add or take away?

Not a classic Mountain View diner, but a similarly restored Silk City diner, also built in New Jersey, recently opened near Blue Mountain Lake in the Adirondacks: Chef Darrell’s Mountain Diner

You can enjoy mountain views from this diner.

Great thread, ckhthankgod! I have to spread some reps before getting to you again, but you really do share great info on this forum!

I've been to Gibbys and West Taghkanic but will have to check out the others on the list, especially chuck wagon. I never heard of the Mountain Top diners, but wonder if the Creekside Cafe near Grand Gorge would cut it?

It's pretty hard for me to hate any diner, because really - how can any breakfast ever be bad? What I love & remember about a really good diner, what gets me going back, is the ambiance. The customers that you can tell are regulars ...and have that worn-in, familiar, friendly back & forth with the staff....that's what I like. The kind of place, where if you walked in as a stranger, had breakfast, then walked out and your car wouldn't start...you'd have 3 or more patrons beat feet to get outside and help you. (Yep, first hand experience.)

Not a Mountain View diner, but certainly a mountain view diner, one that is nestled in the heart of Keene Valley in the ADK: Noon Mark Diner

Enjoyed a nice post-hike meal there, in a cozy, homey, friendly setting. Highly recommend.
