No steak & eggs on the menu, and the homefries were the saddest and soggiest I had ever experienced.

First time I visited, and I've been living in Schenectady for 16 years! Food was great - poached eggs, potatoes, and oh! that thick sliced rye toast... My companion had an Irish Benedict, and was very very happy as well! My new favorite casuak breakfast place!

Hours should really be updated. Try going in a little bit before one and they said they close at 1:30 but they were already close. This was on a Tuesday. Doesn’t seem the same as grew up with…

I can't believe I drove past this place so many times. The food was excellent, service was excellent. Parking was the only issue otherwise definitely a 5 star experience.

The best breakfast I’ve had in years. Breakfast Burrito with sausage was amazing and my other half had The Dutchman’s Special 3 eggs, bacon, home fries and toast. He said he wouldn’t go anywhere else when we are in Schenectady!

I wish I had thought to take pictures, because this place was absolutely phenomenal.Breakfast Platter, $14... three eggs, toast, bacon, hash browns, and a short stack of fairly huge pancakes. Everything was just about perfect, though I wish they could have gotten the hash browns a tiny bit crispier.For $8 they have a cinnamon bun French toast, which is this enormous fat cinnamon bun sliced into thirds and then prepared frenchtoast style.The omelettes are fairly large too.Only three real gripes. Number one, they do not have a gluten-free bread or toast option. It d/n affect me, but did affect a couple of other people in the group I was with. Number two, a side of corned beef hash was $8. Maybe that's a really huge side, but that's a pretty steep price, an entree price for a side. I ended up not getting it. I would imagine, that had I goten it, it would have been excellent like everything else was. Number three, there's syrup is just regular National brand quote unquote pancake syrup, and while they do offer real maple syrup, it is a $3 upcharge.But those were relatively minor gripes. The food is great, the service was fantastic, extremely friendly, extremely helpful, and very accommodating of special dietary needs (aside from tbe lack of GF toast) and food allergies, and willing to make reasonable substitutions were possible.A very good experience. Five people ate more or less like happy pigs for only $81.

Peter Pause is one of the best, if not THE best, breakfast place in Schenectady! Good old fashion diner feel, HUGE portions of food and beyond reasonable prices. The staff is really down to earth, personable and always have a smile for you. I can't recommend this place enough ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Parking: There is street parking and you can usually park pretty close.
