Odyssey Diner

Stopped on my way back home to NYC and what a little gem of a diner. It was empty at 8pm which was good for me. We were greeted right away and very pleasantly unlike some places you go and the person seems like they dont even want to escort you to your seats.

Server said sit anywhere you’d like.

Gave us water right away and he was very attentive to any of our needs.

Ordered a sunnyside burger with bacon and it was delicious along with waffle fries, if any complaint I can make but its more of a suggestion, cut the tomato slice way way thinner, this way the tomato doesnt overwhelm the burger. I found my tomato slice to be super thick and didnt eat it. Again, just a suggestion. Very happy with my burger.

Wife ordered steak quesadillas and what we liked is that he gave her the option of placing the veggies inside the quesadilla or just outside with the salad. She loved her quesadilla.

Overall impressed with everything, server was great, i am guessing the older man is the boss and he was great as well.

Recommended.

Very impressed with this diner. Doesn't look like much from the outside but has a nice parking lot. Inside is a nice comfy diner with very friendly courteous service. The owner is a very nice gentleman and looks out for his customers experiences. Food was very good with large portions. Highly recommend and will be back.

The Odyssey Diner is a very good Diner.

The food is always fresh, and the portions are more than generous.

Nine times out of ten the owner will greet you at the door. And the waitress are always very friendly.

This diner is an authentic family owned Greek diner. I been to many diners in this area and this has to be the best one by far. Took me twenty minutes to decide what to eat because there is just so many pages with different things to choose from. The prices were on point and their portions of food is insane. I had amazing service while here and the staff is so friendly. It was a clean and welcoming environment. When I walked in I noticed they had a tower of desserts that spin around. So I asked about them and was told that they make them all themselves. Again all different things you can choose from, from cheesecakes to pies. I asked my server about their background and they told me so much. They been in the business for a long time and their sauces, dressings, soups, and desserts are home made. I had the sunny side burger and it was an amazing burger and a very good price. I didn't have to wait long for my food to come out which was amazing. I had vanilla ice cream for dessert and yes it was basic but they have the best flavored ice cream. I even saw that they have a day during the week that kids eat free. I will be coming here more often, it is so worth it.

Quality food at fair prices. Fine selection of fresh desserts, and breakfast served even in the afternoon. Decent parking around the diner. Clean bathroom and friendly waitstaff. On February 13th, 2021 the Dutchess County Libertarian Party held an informal gathering at this location.

Friendly staff and the food is always delicious. Huge portions we always end up going home with doggy bags. Reasonably priced. If your looking for good food this is the place to go.

Delicious and affordable American food. Nice æsthetics. Parking galore! Friendly waitstaff, free wi-fi via Optimum, and clean bathroom. Narrow ingress from side street. In November 2021 the Dutchess County Libertarian Party convened here…

The quanity of food was amazing & the pan fried chicken was delicious along with the salads,potatoes and vegetables. We even were given free cake since it was Halloween.
Price was great too.

I was in complete shock of what a good find this was. The food was amazing and staff was very friendly. A must visit for single or family guests.

Excellent food and great service

Been coming to the Odyssey for several years now. The Odyssey is a true old fashioned Greek style diner. Great food, great service, clean, bright and airy.

The menu is quite extensive from simple breakfasts to elaborate and quite filling dinners. I go there only for dinner, the selection from pasta to chicken to steaks to seafood is great. Something for everyone. The portions are ginormous but the prices are quite reasonable. No need to take out a loan and it will not break the bank. All dinners include soup or salad, bread basket (fresh hallah bread), chopped vegetable platter, the entree (of course), fresh vegetable and starch. In addition, everyday there is a “Daily Tending Menu” that features some selections off the regular menu plus some daily specials not found on the regular menu. If its not on the menu, Jack will do his best to accommodate your request.

Wait - added special. ONLY on Wednesdays- the Odyssey features roasted lamb shanks. 2 humongous portions of lamb on the bone in a brown sauce, orzo, and vegetable. Jack the owner knows me and makes them a little different for me - lots of garlic and rosemary.

Service is outstanding. The Odyssey is family owned and operated. Jack personally instructs the wait staff to always be warm, friendly and courteous. Lately we’ve had Doreen or Jack Jr. to wait on us. Great service from both.

Make sure you leave room for dessert. Jack and the Odyssey make their own cheesecakes. My favorite is the Bavarian or raspberry cheesecake. They also have an outstanding to die for chocolate cake.

If you want “chain style” restaurants - there are plenty up and down Rt. 9. If you want good old fashioned home style meals, this is the place to come. Jack is a true restauranteur who knows the business, and knows his customers. He comes around and makes sure everything is to your liking.

Great place to go for a big and tasty breakfast. Great service, generous portions, reasonable price, and a clean airy atmosphere.

I have tried there dinner andunch before which was amazing. On the July 3th we decided to try breakfast which was very fulfilling.

Visiting from FL. When for dinner on 4th of July. Best Eggplant Parm I had in years. Very generous portions. My niece had Ravioli. The waitress was very professional, timing with serving food and drinks perfect . I have been to other diners in the area, but I highly recommend The Odyssey.

Stumbled on this place while here for a wedding. The food is amazing. Service is fast and friendly. Very warm and welcoming place. Our trip was a disaster until we got here. My daughter can't stop talking about how good her pancakes were.

Just so happened to stop by after an early appointment. Food was great, service was great. I will definitely stop by again when I'm in the area.

Haven’t had a bad meal here. Service is great too.

Arrived two hours early to get a bra fitting in a store behind their restaurant/diner. Had their coffee and pancakes, along with their cranberry juice. My waitress was outstanding with attentive service and the pancakes were fluffy. They were at a good value price. Came once before and I look forward to coming back again!

Had a wonderful time with my husband. The food was tasty. Teena provided excellent service. We will be back for sure!

They food is always fresh and so good.

Good food, very large servings for the price. Give it a try.
