Classic comfort food with modern twists; famed fluffy pancakes
"A roadside classic that’s genuinely bustling—arrive hungry for the patty melt on rye." - Mark Ellwood
"Tucked in the Catskills, I always gush about the picturesque Phoenicia Diner — yes, the same spot where they filmed scenes for Severance — for its cult-fave buttermilk pancakes, which are famously fluffy with a subtly caramelized flavor thanks to malted milk powder; you can now make them at home with the diner's handsomely packaged pancake mix, complete with classy cloth string ties." - Francky Knapp
"I was thrilled to find the home just a few minutes' drive from Phoenicia Diner, an old-school spot that people line up for on weekends and even buy merch from to wear back home; on a Thursday morning it was busy but without a wait, which I appreciated as a pro for heading Upstate midweek." - Madison Flager
"Known for its famed pancakes, the restaurant is making those stacks available in Brooklyn next month, with servings at Kellogg’s Diner in Williamsburg and Montague Diner in Brooklyn Heights on Saturday, September 6, and Sunday, September 7." - Nadia Chaudhury
"A Catskills mainstay since the early ’80s, this classic diner blends hearty comfort with a cool, Brooklyn‑adjacent vibe; it’s open Thursday through Tuesday and even popped up in the Apple TV series Severance." - Mitchell Friedman
