Don't know where the people who rated this place terribly ended up eating but it couldn't be here! This place is wonderful. The food is amazing. There were 4 of us and we all got various types of pancakes. They were so big that they were hanging off the dish! Everything was delicious.

Sweet Sue's is a phenomenon. The pancakes are really what set this place apart. They are so good that sometimes we have to wait for a long time to get a table. But the food in general is really very good. I'm salivating thinking about it.

not worth the wait, long line outside , even longer wait for a server to get to you, then not friendly and still have to wait for coffee, forget the food, even though the pancakes were really good, I was fed up by that time, couldn't enjoy them.

Mr Breakfast is a hot babe but the food sucked major. DON'T GO HERE.The pancakes were a disappointment because they were frozen (despite how hot kid pancake was). Love Kristen and Kathleen.

I go to Sweet Sues everytime I visit my dear friends in the Catskills for quite a few years now. Often times in recent years I've waited patiently because the food is worth recommending and hence the lines have begun. That's ok by me because when I'm in Phonecia I'm in no hurry! It's true that the blueberry pancakes are tasty and belly bustin and any of their egg dishes with vegetables will leave a positive memory. Home fries aren't exactly a health food to begin with but if you don't mind the carbs & fat you might as well try Sweet Sues... very good with fried eggs and toast. The only thing I really haven't enjoyed there is the coffee. I wish they would serve Green Mountain, Pinot, or one of the Nicaraguan beans I get at Trader Joes! I've never had a problem with the service yet but I suppose someone might have had a bad day (either the waitress or the customer) considering some of the reviews left about that issue.

A yuppie magnet at it's finest. Portions are big however service lacks luster most of the time. Better management required to coincide with $9.00 pancakes.

We were there on 6/28/08 with 3 boys (10 yrs old), 2 dogs and ourselves. The food was great, the service was quite good and all in all it was a great place to have breakfast. Incredible pancakes, delicious coffee, we will be back!

Really expensive, really loud, really trendy. Food is nothing to write home about - dry pancakes, greasy potatoes, long long long wait.

Discovered this gem two years ago on a weekend getaway. About an hour and a half drive from home, have since made trips just to visit the restaurant! Well worth the drive...the naysayers can't be talking about the same food, staff or restaurant.

Double that rating for the pancakes alone. We drive almost three hours to have pancakes at Sweet Sues. In addition we ask our hunting and fishing friends who are in the area to bring us back some.

Sweet Sue's offers a refreshing mix of both classic and innovative pancakes, and is worth the 30 minute drive from Kingston (Exit 19 on NYS Thruway). The fresh squeezed orange juice also comes highly recommended.

Warning: No one but the hungriest can eat more than two of Sweet Sue's pancakes, so order conservatively. You can always ask for more!

If everyone ate breakfast at Sweet Sue's there would be no more wars. Everyone would be too happy and too full to even contemplate such things.

Sweet Sue, you put joy on the plate and peace in the mind.

Thanks Sweet Sue; wherever you are.

TEMPORARILY CLOSED BECAUSE OF A RECENT FIRE, SWEET SUE'S IS MISSED AND THERE WILL BE GREAT CELEBRATION WHEN IT REOPENS. WEEKENDS JUST ARE NOT THE SAME.

The BEST breakfast ever!!!! Best pancakes, omlettes, yogurt bowl with their homemade granola and FRESH fruit. They are by far the very best in the area. If ever your in Ulster County, you MUST go to Sweet Sue's, they rock!
