Stopped in for a late lunch on a beautiful fall day. The diner sits on a hill overlooking the Catskills creek, so with the fall foliage at its peak, it was a lovely setting. The food is delicious - I had the Dave's BLT for $18: fried green tomatoes, bacon, lettuce, mayo, toasted white bread. Recommended main plates include the fried chicken and fish fry. Looks like they also have a nice selection of pies and desserts to go along with a soda fountain. I’ll definitely be back!

Gracie's has a traditional diner / lunch counter menu but with an elevated twist. The food is truly delicious with so many menu items that I truly love. The tuna melt may be the best I've ever had! Other favorites are the ALT egg sandwich, the poutine fries and the veggie burger. This is the perfect brunch spot because you can get everything from waffles to brisket all at the same time. If you like sweets, Gracie's always has a full donuts menu with unique concoctions like maple bacon. Gracie's also has plenty of veggie options plus a good kids menu (in fact, it seems like a popular location for families). The restaurant is located right on the Catskill creek with great views of the wooded areas around it. There is a big parking lot out front and it is located just down the street from the cute downtown Leeds or less than 10 minutes from Catskill proper. The only warning is that this place can really full up on the weekend's during tourist season so be prepared to wait, arrive early or allow at least 30 minutes for takeout.

This place is amazing. Just a quick turn off the NY thruway and you will find this amazing spot. Great food and service. I had Gracies’s burger w/ fries. It was classic. The donuts are amazing too as well as their homemade ketchup.

Stopped in here for brunch before hiking and I knew right away this place was a gem. Excellent decor, friendly staff, and an aroma of the most delicious food wafting from the kitchen. Big open windows to take in the fall foliage (or whatever time of year you find yourself here) and a cozy atmosphere. Plenty of parking outside. Menu is small but covers all of the good stuff, the coffee was solid, both hot and iced. We went with an egg platter, Greek yogurt, and banana muffin. The egg platter was standard but very well made. The Greek yogurt was fantastic, very fluffy with fresh fruit and granola, definitely good fuel for a long day of hiking. The banana muffin was killer, I should have gotten 5 more. Best breakfast we had on our Catskill trip, will definitely be back!

Quaint little lunch place over looking Catskill Creek. Everything was fabulous. Split a burger and fries with my wife and there was plenty of food. Great views of the creek.

Food and drinks, everything, AMAZING!
We were from out of town so I picked a place according to the reviews, which were great. We were very disappointed. My hamburger was literally "two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun." The patties were 1/4" thick each. They didn't ask how I wanted it cooked, and I realized why when I saw it. All of the diners and restaurants we go to where we live (1-1/2hrs from there) serve a big, fat, juicy, cooked-to-order burger -- and it's hot. There were a lot of fries, but they were also like McDonald's - very thin and many of them were only 1/2 to 1" long. In fact, McDonald's are better. And the ketchup wasn't ketchup. It was plain tomato sauce. My husband said his fish sandwich was ok. My burger and fries was $17 and all the great burgers and fries near us are $13-16.
I also asked for no sauce on my burger, but it was on there anyway. They offered to make me another one, but my fries weren't hot when they brought them, so I said it was fine, but he should at least tell the kitchen about their mistake. They gave me a free donut, which was delicious, and their fresh squeezed lemonade was also delicious.
While we were eating a couple walked by our table leaving and I heard the woman say, "I picked a place close to 87 and this one had great reviews." You don't say that unless you are trying to defend yourself for picking the wrong place.
The service was great, and the restaurant, including restrooms, was very clean, and parking was very convenient.

Gracie's made our wedding cake and desserts and they were absolutely DELICIOUS!! We got a small cutting cake, glazed donuts and cupcakes and everyone was having about how delicious they were. There must be some special recipe for the cupcakes because they were far beyond you're average cupcakes you would make at home. So flavorful and chocolatey! I had showed them our inspo pics for the cake and they absolutely nailed it. So easy to work with and reasonably priced. Will be back for breakfast and treats 100 more times!
We stopped here on a whim and we are soooo glad we did. Gracie's was the culinary highlight of our Catskills vacation. Firstly.. the service was outstanding. We ordered the house made cream soda and cherry-lime ricky and oh my goodness - these beverages were phenomenal. We ordered the turkey sandwich and corned beef hash breakfast and they exceeded expectations! I cannot emphasize enough just how great the food was. We plan to come back for yummy grub and to get our hands on some of the amazing looking donuts in the front display
