Liberty Diner
About This Spot
Stepping into Liberty Diner feels like coming home to a bright, welcoming space where familiar faces and warm hospitality set a comforting tone. Spread across a generous, well-lit interior, there’s an inviting calmness here amidst the quiet hum of conversations and the occasional clatter of plates. The pace is relaxed, perfect for settling into a leisurely breakfast or catching up with friends, whether you’re a traveler passing through the Catskills or a local carving out your weekend morning ritual.
This is the kind of diner where kindness is woven into the atmosphere—as if the staff genuinely want you to feel part of their extended family. From the friendly greetings at the door to the effortless way servers connect with guests, there’s a sincere attention to making everyone comfortable and cared for.
The heart of the experience is, of course, the food. While this place has all the staples you expect from a diner, there’s a certain thoughtfulness in each dish that elevates it beyond everyday fare. Whether it’s a breakfast combo filling the table with golden pancakes and rich home fries, or the tempting array of house-baked cakes and pastries you glimpse upon entering, the menu offers both comforting classics and unexpected highlights that invite discovery. The ease of finding something for every appetite—from hearty chicken fried steak to fresh Mediterranean-inspired paninis—adds to the approachable spirit here.
What stands out is how the Liberty Diner manages to feel spacious without losing its intimate charm. It’s lively but never rushed, making it a place where moments linger—whether that’s sharing strawberry shortcake over coffee or savoring a quiet bowl of clam chowder on a cooler day. The mixture of families, locals, and visitors sharing this space reflects the diner’s role as a gentle anchor in the community’s everyday rhythm.
In essence, Liberty Diner is less about flashy trends and more about the small, meaningful details: warm welcomes, thoughtful service, and a menu that feels like it’s been lovingly crafted to satisfy both cravings and comfort. It’s a spot where breakfast turns into late-night meals, where each visit feels like a quiet celebration of good food and genuine togetherness.

My husband and I were in the Catskills for a weekend and we absolutely loved the Liberty Diner. We enjoyed it so much that we went twice. This family owned restaurant treats everyone as if they are family. They strive to make everyone feel at home with their kindness, delicious food and their sincere interest in the customer. They are one of the only restaurants in the Catskills that you can actually go to and get served at 11 PM during the week and midnight on the weekend. We never felt rushed. As a matter of fact, one night we were there past midnight and were never made to feel as if they were closing and we needed to leave. Kudos to the Liberty Diner!

After two disappointing encounters with Diners on the trip, I have to say we were third time, lucky. Although this is a diner, the food here is a notch above your typical diner food. The space itself is huge with a lot of different seating areas. as you enter you are welcome by shelf full of cakes and pastries, and it was very hard for me to resist ordering a couple of them, but I had no space after the breakfast. We ordered a bunch of breakfast item, and I got the eggs. Benedict over crabcakes while my friends got the French toast and the omelettes. Everything tasted great. Although the crabcake was not very crabby, and I am sure they used some form of imitation crab, but given the price, it was still pretty good. The omelettes were very well made with a lot of fillings and the house potatoes to go with, that were very good as well. I loved the French toast with the Nutella, and it was gone in minutes. The only let down was the coffee and it was a very bad quality of coffee. I wish they invested in better coffee beans. Overall, a really good breakfast place.

Very good experience here day before Thanksgiving—stopped on way down to visit family on Long Island. Food was very good. I think the mashed potatoes were instant, but the environment made up for it. The waitress was very friendly—she had a child that was our son's age, so she was very patient with us which means a lot. When we were walking on the door, the maître d' was very nice and handed our son a rubber ducky from behind the counter—they have a rubber ducky machine in the foyer, which our 4 year old son wanted to play, we kept insisting that it's not worth it to play—because it won't guarantee you the rubber duck—didn't want to see my 4 year old sad in melt down mode because he didn't get a ducky. So, whether they knew it or not, they taught my son a lesson "good things come to those who wait"/"have patience". Anyway, the swiss-mushroom burger I had was great!—My husband had the gyro, which came with zuchini fries which was a fun twist on the gyro which he said was very good. Our son had the pasta with meatball and marinara, but didn't eat because he was worked up over the ducky machine in the foyer, but as I mentioned was worth the lesson learned. Experiences like this should be made intentional in establishments like this to teach children learned lessons... maybe I'll write a book about all of the possible encorporations we can adopt into restaurants and other stores and stuff—which can be disclosed to parents so they can be made aware that this lesson is available to them for their child, if they wish to guide their child on identifying the moral of the story. I'm a mom with ADHD who has a vendetta for modern children's books—they don't offer the depth in lessons offered in the books my mother and grandmother read to me. I'm trying to brainstorm ways to fill the void so I can raise my child to be perceptive, cognizant and aware of the world around them. The digital age has made parenting very difficult, as far as your guidance being impeded by technology/screens—even if you limit screentime, the exposure they've ever had has already wired their brain for what level of excitement is worth their attention(dopamine). So you need to outcompete that level of excitement to get the child's attention to teach them things. What a better way than real life experience in the world around them to teach them things—can't get anymore in-your-face than that.

Clean, bright, and a huge menu. Food was delayed however, the waitress was apologetic and explained there was a new chef training. Food was delicious. I am vegetarian and had no difficulty finding a meal. My partner loved his breakfast at 8 O'clock in the evening. Would definitely recommend.

As our family was leaving the Catskills we wanted to stop for breakfast. Liberty diner was the perfect stop that was enroute to NYC. The diner is very festive, upbeat, and lively. Loved that they are one of the very few places in the Catskills opened late hours. Large variety of choices on the menu, the food is very good, coffee was great. Service was excellent. Loved that they serve cocktails if your in the mood for a glass of wine after a long road trip, or other spirits. When visiting the area this will definitely be a place I visit for a sit down, bite to eat.

On our way back from NYC, we stopped by this lovely diner. The food was fresh and delicious. The portions were enormous! The service was quick. Our waitress was extremely nice and very accommodating. We had a great meal and an excellent time there.
