South Troy Diner — Restaurant in New York

Nice looking small diner. The waitresses were very friendly, the place was clean, and the prices on the menu were quite low. The specials were even lower, and included some interesting menu options including a southwestern omelet and a southern Benny, an eggs Benedict style dish with sausage gravy.

I ordered the southwestern omelet, but the waitress accidentally wrote down "southern" instead of "southwestern". When I got my southern omelet she immediately apologized and offered to bring me the right omelet, but I was pretty happy once I saw the sausage gravy. It was delicious, and loaded with bits of sausage. The omelet itself had a serious amount of sausage mixed in. I also had the deep fried home fries, which I think were probably just frozen home fries thrown in the fryer. I'll try the non-deep fried version next time. We also got a Reuben, which had some great corned beef and heavily pickled sauerkraut. The country fried steak was excellent, with really tasty breading.

We'll definitely be back.

Second Trip Edit: We indeed went back the following week. My usual breakfast friend was apparently dreaming about their country fried steak all week. This time we went with a party of 6 which was no trouble. They were quite busy, so drink refills were slow, but otherwise service was spot on. I tried the South Troy Special this time, and the sandwich was delicious. Deli ham and deli turkey, both fried on the grill, with cole slaw, cheese, russian, and then the whole sandwich fried on rye bread. It was delicious and generously portioned. Definitely our new breakfast spot for tasty diner fair at the lowest prices I've...

Having driven by this older building with unique coffee cup on the roof many times, I checked the reviews, which were largely excellent, and decided to stop in. This is an old-school diner, smallish in size and simply decorated. The vibe very chill and the staff is very personable and friendly. Our server was attentive, helpful and funny. I asked for hot sauce and she brought over a huge bottle of Red Hot. I jokingly said, "hmm, I don't think this will be enough." Without missing a beat, she said, "I've got more in the back if you need it." I definitely appreciated the quick-witted retort, couple with the great service.

Food was very tasty. My wife liked her Greek omlette and I had a Greek skillet, basically the same thing except larger and all mixed together. Both were nicely prepared and tasty. We would definitely get them again.

We passed a couple of other diners to get here, but it was totally worth the trip. If you're nearby, give South Troy...

What a great place. Simple, fast food for at great prices. The diner is situated at the corner and parking is in the rear. Locals love this place and it seems like a diner that had served generation after generation. The menu is straight forward and had just enough variety to satisfy all four in our breakfast party. I always go simple with eggs, toast and home fries. Others in our party ordered the pancakes, French toast, Greek omelets and sausage. Everyone admired the classic diner decor and raved about the fast service and amazing food taste. Really, this is a must visit diner if your ever in the area. While small, turnover is quick enough that even on a busy day, you get seated and feed quickly. Overall this was a great experience and I'd honestly have to rate an A+. Will visit again when...
