Papa's Diner Queensbury

We stopped here for a quick breakfast on our way to Hadley on a Sunday morning. It was quite busy and most of the tables were taken. Seems like a lot of people were locals. We were seated right away and our orders were promptly taken by our waitress. She was manning the people at the bar as well. Not the warmest of service and but the two waitresses were taking care of a full restaurant. Prices were reasonable and good diner food options.

Place is always hopping and busy but once you come in you will know why. The staff is really on the ball and focused on make you the best food and service that's hard to find anyplace these days. The wonderful smells from the parking lot will tell you that ur about to have great food and as you open the door your givin the best welcome and unbeatable service from start to finish. Even the regulars are a wonderful people. Not a single thing needs improvement and for me this is a first so let's just hope it stays this way. My new fav place.

Stopped here randomly on our way home from Lake George since the Ambrosia Diner was closed. It was very crowded but hey it was 11:30 am on a Sunday, that’s to be expected. Staff was very friendly and service was super quick. The food was delicious. I ordered The Rachel and was not disappointed. Their house-made turkey is incredibly delicious. I also subbed home fries in place of the french fries - they were also fantastic. The place has a cozy, down home feel to it. We will absolutely be back next time we are upstate.

The food was good. However, the service needs some improvements. I understand being busy but we ordered coffee and asked for creamer and never got it. I finally got up and went to another table and asked for some. I ordered the taco salad and the menu said it came with sour cream and salsa yet there wasn't any on it. I had asked for ranch but sat there 10 mins waiting. I believe they were probably short staffed but at least put the items where patrons can help themselves instead of having to sit and wait or not get it at all.

Tried the Eggs Benedict here and it was solid. Nothing crazy fancy, but definitely hit the spot. The hollandaise was creamy without being too heavy, and the eggs were poached just right – nice runny yolks. English muffin was toasted well and held everything together. Overall, a decent take on a classic. I liked it, and I’d probably recommend it to other tourists.
