Sweet Sue's

The smell of the juicy pancakes wafted into my nose as I stood under the aging sign for Sweet Sue's.  As I entered the restaurant, I noticed immediately how loud it was.  I was not surprised however, as I had already visited this prominent restaurant many times with my grandfather, who absolutely loves the restaurant and its pancakes.   It took the waitress a little bit of time to seat us, so we just seated ourselves.  The service was not exceptional at all but the food was absolutely delicious.  I ordered a banana-chocolate chip pancake and some fries.  The  fries were delicious, but the pancake was the best pancake I have ever eaten.  It was enormous, and usually large pancakes are doughy and lumpy, but this pancake was juicy and delicious.  The decor was definitely nothing special, but there were reviews scattered everywhere explaining in depth how good Sweet Sue's was.  In fact, it won an award for the best pancakes in the entire Catskill mountain region.  The decor was relaxing, the food was amazing, but the service was mediocre.  I give Sweet Sue's a 8.8/10.

Yeah, the service always seem lousy there. The staff is nice but spread too thin.

You know that this is my favorite "dining" experience. If it were in SA, I would eat there daily!!!! However, it is nice to have it as a special eating experience on my trips to Woodstock.

You are right: there are no better pancakes. But I love the corned beef hash. The bet is driving there and back to Woodstock and sometimes seeing bear cubs! Dotblock
