Recently I visited the Wurtsboro Diner at 60 Sullivan Street in Wurtsboro for dinner with my parents, and it was quite the experience. When we entered, we were immediately brought to a booth where we were given menus and the waitress asked for our drink orders right away.

While waiting for our food, I learned that the restaurant was under new ownership. It has all of the same great cooks – the only change is there are new people in charge. Our food came out fairly quickly, and it looked delicious. I ordered the baked ziti; my dad had spaghetti and meatballs; and my mom ordered the French dip sandwich.

I am happy to say this was the most delicious baked ziti I have ever had. It wasn’t too saucy and was super flavorful – I would return to the diner just to have this dish again. My mom said her food was “super delicious,” and my dad agreed his was too.

The restaurant’s decor wasn’t of the most up-to-date design, but it was definitely clean and very homey. Once we finished our food, we were offered either a choice of chocolate or rice pudding for dessert. I chose the chocolate pudding and it was extremely good, with lots of flavor and a portion that wasn’t too large. My mom wanted the rice pudding which she described as “excellent” and claimed it tasted homemade, which is always a great thing to hear.

All of the staff were super friendly and caring, and didn’t mind having a quick conversation with you to make you more comfortable. They were also quick to fix any issues you might have.

Going to the Wurtsboro Diner was like visiting distant family members for the first time in a while. The environment is very welcoming and sociable. The restaurant is a great place to go with the family for any meal throughout the day. The Diner is half-a-mile from Rte. 209 and is a few miles away from Exit 113 on Rte. 17, so it’s also a great place to go if you’re on the road and just passing by. Just stop in and have a great meal.
