Pete's Famous Restaurant in Rhinebeck, NY: Trust me, it's worth the visit!

Rhinebeck, New York: quaint, home of America's oldest working inn and also the site of Pete's Famous Restaurant - all worth a visit!
Pete's Famous Restaurant is a food home-run!


On a visit to Rhinebeck, my sister stopped off at Pete's Famous Restaurant with me to have a bite to eat and we were pleasantly surprised with not only our lunch meal but with the cheery, well-maintained village this restaurant was set within.

TheThe Beekman Arms and Delamater Inn, and a speckling of the cutest antique shops, restaurants and local businesses you ever did see.
area contains the oldest working inn found in America,

Our meal was served to us quickly, was every bit as tasty as any diner-style meal should be and was of super value; my sister had a submarine sandwich and I had a greek pita wrap along with a shared plate of french fries (see photograph below), all of which cost only $24.00 (including tip) - what a bargain!

The interior of Pete's Famous Restaurant is diner-style with eclectic bits an bobs like a train-platform style vintage-looking clock hanging from the side of the upper ceiling area, a ceiling painted as though it were the sky and a small diner section complete with the traditional bar stools and a counter replete with pastries - a requisite for any diner.  All of the decorating pieces and feel of the place makes you feel like you are truly in a small-town environment which is fun and unique as a visitor or a local.

I would be the first to recommend this location for anyone looking a little weekend break or a slight weekend day trip.  You'll feel as though you've stepped onto the Gilmore Girls TV set, it is an excellent way to spend your Saturday or Sunday!  And don't forget to stop at Pete's Famous Restaurant!
