Pete's — Restaurant in Town of Rhinebeck

Disgusting! Dirty! Don't Eat Here! Hey everyone so my husband I decided to stop here for breakfast yesterday morning. At first glance the place looks very clean. The server came right over she was polite and really good at her job. After being here for a bit my husband and I noticed that we had a few flies going us well I get it one fly 2 flies maybe but when we end up with more then that I say gross. They have fly paper hanging were guests can see it. The vent in the breeze going to the kitchen is caked with dirt. This restaurant is Disgusting. Do not eat unless you want a stomach ache later. IT IS TO BAD THAT THIS PLACE IS THIS DIRTY BECAUSE THEY HAVE GREAT STAFF BUT I WILL NOT EAT IN A DIRTY PLACE. As for the food we'll the eggs Benedict my husband said was ok not the best but ok as for my spinach and feta omelet. All I can say is we're in the feta Lol. I would much rather had been able to give an outstanding review but, have to be real and tell you this is not were you want to eat. It's not safe to eat here with the insect problem and the dirt on the vents. GROSS! Remember have fun with with what your doing and keep it real because you know I do with each and every review.

Your truly The...

First off, to all those individuals complaining about atmosphere: what do you expect? It's a classic diner experience: loud, rowdy, and your favorite regulars. Next, to the people ordering steak, fruit bowls, and other high-brow items: you realize it's a diner, right? Stick with coffee, eggs, and maybe the burgers and quesadillas. But what can you expect from those living in the wealthy village of Rhinebeck? You could take them to the tastiest disheveled food truck, and they'd still complain.

I come here often with friends and family, and it has never let me down. Pete's Famous Omelette is to die for. Home fries within the omelette plus more home fries on the side? Perfection. Coffee is coffee, so no complaints there. The chocolate chip pancakes are a great addition when I'm feeling a bit more gluttonous. Plus, the price is still reasonable despite other diners serving lower quality food for more money.

But most importantly, the staff are wonderful. Some of them are moody and complain while others are cracking jokes with their tables. Either way, it's that old time diner experience I miss from when I lived further south. Dee is absolutely wonderful and always makes sure I'm all set. Never...

Went for lunch. The place was busy. Two waitresses and they were hustling. The cook in the kitchen was ringing the bell for the food to be picked up angrily. The bell was ringing so many times every time an order was up, a few other customers and myself complained to our server. She went back and said the way he was pounding on the bell was annoying the customers. He proceeded to scream and holler at her so loud we could hear every word out front. He really verbally attacked her and yelled for a few minutes. She was trying to tell him she is seating guests, taking cash, taking orders etc that she is ignoring the call bell and that made him big out even more. I asked if the owner was around and she sent him out to talk to me but he approached the wrong guest. She told him what had occurred and he just said the cook was having a bad day. He didn't care about what happened or how the customers felt about it. He turned and walked away as if nobody said a word and the bell ringing continued. The food was pretty good, a little expensive but good. I will not go back again after how this cook behaved toward the servers and indirectly to...
