Pandais

Always solid dependable food here. Prices are reasonable and the staff is wonderful.

Great food and drinks, friendly service in a perfect location. My family has loved dining here for many years!

I haven't been to the White Stone Cafe in over 10 years because I kept hearing bad stuff about it. I was in town and decided to get to-go with my sister. So glad I did! The food was sooo good and the cocktail to-go came in a huge container at a great price. Tasted great too! She got the prime rib, I got a bacon cheeseburger, and we shared some boneless wings. Service was great too when we called/picked up. I'll definitely be going back.

You know those places where you're greeted with a smile, given your choice of seating, and asked if you'd like a coffee when sat at your table? This is one of them, and I love it.
This was my first meal out since March. Wow. What a long strange road it's been. We sat outside, disinfected often with the restaurant-provided sanitizer, and socially distanced. The server was observant of the situation, and was welcoming as can be.
Belgian waffle - how fitting for the town of Ghent. Perfectly cooked.
Country gravy & biscuits - delicious gravy, potatoes could've been cooked a bit more for extra crispiness

This food is like Truck Stop food. So if you want good old uninspired American Food in the middle of nowhere, this is the place for you. Nice waitress, hostess or owner was a bit of a KAREN - if ya know what I mean....
Upstate New York doesn't have much going for it right now in the middle of a pandemic -

Nice diner for breakfast. I'm sure they have other meals, too. We asked as we came in whether breakfast was still being served and the kind waitress informed us that they serve breakfast all day.
My husband had 3 eggs, sausage and pumpkin pancake. I had their veggie omelette with American fries (hash browns) and a pumpkin pancake. Both were very good.
I like the atmosphere here. Lots of wood, Tiffany style lighting and pretty upholstery. Country music is playing on their overhead speakers.
Good, quaint place with good quality food.

We stopped just for a take-out dessert and found a dessert bar, with a huge assortment of tiny yummyv homemade desserts - brownies, lemon bars, blueberry cake, pie, etc. Just what a didn't know I needed! One birthday candle and it's a perfect treat. We'll try them again for the rest of their repertoire.

Breakfast buffet great too! I had dinner buffet last night here and it was best buffet I've ever had. Ate breakfast Sunday morning and loved the breakfast buffet just as much. Tons of selections, good fruit and delicious apple crumble. Great place!

The buffet was pretty poor quality. The butter (and everything cooked in it) tasted vaguely of blue cheese. My sister-in-law had difficulty cutting her prime rib. The waitstaff were passable, though. I don't think I'll be going back without a major upgrade in the quality of food.

Fresh cooked dinner, clean surroundings, very nice staff. Very comfortable atmosphere. Definitely going back often when eating out.
No $25 burgers on the menu but then again I did not have to wear a tuxedo to eat there.
Great comfortable eating.

This is quite possibly the worst restaurant I have ever been to. The buffet and salad bar food looked terrible so I chose to order off the actual menu. BUT then the power went out. Like literally the entire restaurant lost all power. On a 90 degree day, they had only small ceiling fans which of course stopped working with the power outage. As a result we were informed that they couldnt cook us any food without power (???????) So we could either eat from the buffet bar or eat nothing. Having an issue with diverticulitis, I chose the least horrible options of potatoes and a plain hamburger patty

Actually, 2.5 stars. I read the reviews, and, although I'm not fond of buffets or restaurants that seem sub-par, we decided to try it. It's been around in Ghent for almost twenty years, so there must be something viable and enticing about the place.

The salad bar was very fresh when we went on Friday night. The hot entrees included thinly sliced roast beef au jus, which was fine, chicken, which was bland, and seafood. The stuffed clams were okay, but, like the chicken, nothing especially appealing. The cocktail shrimp was good, but the broiled haddock was tough. My partner had a

3 of us went there yesterday. Great ride to get there on the Harleys and we were ready to eat. First off the waitresses were wonderful and very pleasant. If you needed something they were more than happy to get it for you. I was going to get the liver and my wife the turkey dinner. Our buddy eats breakfast all day. We seen their buffet and looked at everything and we got that instead of the dinners. The food looked great. Yankee pot roast, ham, turkey, piles of shrimp, stuffing, mashed potatoes (these and the stuffing were to die for), chicken in mushrooms, broiled haddock, countless deserts

DO NOT ORDER A TAKE OUT MEAL FROM THIS PLACE, UNLESS YOU INSPECT IT FIRST. This is the last time I am giving this place a try. I have ordered take out three times in the past (should have learned my lesson already) and have ALWAYS been disappointed. When I opened my breakfast today (I ordered Eggs Benedict) there were poached eggs, English muffins and Hollandaise sauce (no ham or bacon). When you look up the recipe it says "Eggs Benedict is a breakfast or brunch dish that consists of two halves of an English muffin, topped with ham, bacon or back bacon; poached eggs, and hollandaise sauce

It has very nice and pleasant atmosphere but the food tasted just too commercial. Nothing tastes homemade. They did have plenty for the Buffett but I think it sat too long in the streamers so the pork was dried out. Maybe I would try it again but order off the menu.

Confirming Cassandra M's review. The fried food tasted like clams, which I can only assume they fry everything in the same vat of oil. This is VERY DANGEROUS and could ABSOLUTELY KILL AN ALLERGIC PERSON.

My friends chicken pesto panini was PATHETIC precooked rectangle of rubbery "all white meat" chicken, the pesto was actually just dried basil flakes mixed with a mystery oil, the bread was institutional grade "focaccia" which wasn't pressed, grilled, or even toasted, just plain and cold. Tomatoes we're sorry little slices of misery, as were the pickles.

The

We had some time to pass before a play. So we decided to get some beverages and dessert. First, it took a while for someone to come over. Then, she listed teas flavors for us. One in our party had coffee. We ordered our teas and asked for the dessert menu. Took over 10 minutes for her to come back. Apparently they did not have earl gray. The problems only would get worse. I ordered cheesecake. When it came time, the waitress brought desserts over, but mine was missing. The cheesecake was frozen, and she was trying to defrost it. When she finally brought my cheesecake, it was quite frozen and

I only eat here couple times a month when I'm upstate. New too this whole internet review thing but hearing about lawsuits on yelp for negative reviews being posted unless businesses pay monthly is really starting to show haha (let's see if my review makes it) This place is a basic diner but with the plus of a buffet not seen to often interesting combo in my opinion. I order eggs over light I get them over light bacon crisp was actually not thrown in the fryer. Only had buffet couple times but was good not dried out. Don't get me wrong its a local small town place (reminded me of

Went for the lunch buffet with my parents. It was a Saturday, the day this review was posted, in fact (17th May 2014). Everyone ate well and left satisfied.

The salad bar was cold, fresh, and offered a diverse assortment of veggies, pre-made salads, pickles, fruits, cottage cheese, pudding, and more. Items were slow to be replenished.

The hot side of the buffet was limited in selection: Spaghetti with alfredo/marinara; pork stirfry; chicken cordon bleu; fried clam strips; white rice; mixed roasted vegetables; hot dogs w/ chili & sauerkraut; mashed potatoes w/ chicken or beef gravy. Chicken

This was the worst buffet I have ever eaten at. The food looked like it was left over from the previous nights dinner. Everything had either a skin formed over it or the grease and oil had separated from the hot things, on no wait nothing was hot and warm was only an option on a few things. I thought for sure we would all be sick the next day. The macaroni and cheese tasted like it was stored in the basement, I warned my son not to eat it. The waitress seemed preoccupied with other things. Thank god we survived, the bathrooms were a filthy mess, would hate to see the condition of the kitchen.

I like buffets, almost any buffet. This one is just about inedible. It used to be just mediocre, but it got worse and worse. The hot side has items that are oily, smelly, old, dried out, the cold side is not good, limp lettuce. I saw a couple, one had only the salad side, but at checkout, the owner did not believe them, and interrogated the waitress loudly in front of the couple"are you sure he didn't have any meat"?
