True, there isn't much else around to compare to or compete with but, all in all Dad's does a fine job with their food prep and service. Â Their wings have received raves and I have enjoyed many hearty breakfasts there (the Hungry Man special works best for me).
Everything else offered seems just fine but not outstanding. Â Dad's is a wonderful touch of local diner experience with an extra touch of the 50's theme.
Seasonally they offer outdoor/take out ice cream service in the rear of the restaurant which deservingly draws a lot of business. Â When they run out of stock in the early fall that window is closed until spring.
If you find yourself in Copake don't hesitate to stop in at Dad's for a meal any time of the day. Â Leave room for ice cream if it is still warm out!
