This place is a must  even if you're not in the High Falls, NY area. It's worth the trip. The food was not only delicious but you can tell it had all fresh ingredients. And if you're looking for an "interesting" atmosphere, The Egg's Nest meets that description. It reminds you of a time when you were young and anything and everything is up for grabs. You can tell there's been a lot of heart and love put into the decor!! I'll be back again.
Review Source:Cluttered but cozy stop to relax, have some flavorful comfort food and good conversation. The tempeh Reuben was awesome (I'm not vegetarian but always like to try new things). Cash only but ATM on site. The servers are very down to earth and attentive. If you're about good food and can overlook some aesthetics this place is definitely worth the stop!
Review Source:I've been going there since BEFORE it first opened. Richard said we're not opened yet. We asked if he had anything to drink and then he showed us around. We stayed for hours while he and then Linday kept plastering the walls. Â Since then I've had everything on the menu and some items that were never on the menu. There is not a better nor more friendly place to eat on this earth. Â That you can bet your farm on !
Review Source:This place is going to warrant additional trips out to New Paltz simply because it's amazing. Great fare, and awesome service. The decor alone is mindblowing and would be worth a recommendation alone.
Now, the food.
Amazing. Simply delicious. I had a hard time deciding what I wanted to eat, simply because of all the awesome things one the menu. I'm a vegetarian, but my friends wasn't. I ultimately decided on the Tempeh Reuben. It was amazing. So flavorful and filling. I wasn't planning on eating the whole thing... But I did. We also shared the Sweet Potato fries with a wasabe dipping sauce as a starter and split the fried cheese cake. SO full, but so amazing.
Go for the decor. Stay for the noms.
We yelped local restaurants and drove here after a long day of driving, touring and hiking. We decided this was the place when we saw all the cars out front. Luckily we were immediately seated, waters and beers were delivered quickly and we perused the large and varied menu. (Beer selection not large, but there was a good variety. )
We chose the "#1" Thanksgiving turkey sandwich and a reuben. Â Both sandwiches were pleasant, but nothing stellar. My husband thought the turkey sandwich was a bit bland. Â My reuben was quite moist and flavorful. I was surprised that the "chips" served with the reuben were some rather stale and boring tortilla chips. Why bother? Â
Our server was very nice and we enjoyed conversing with the owner who has owned it for 40 years. (He is the painter behind the rather flamboyant decor.).
While i think they might benefit by narrowing and shrinking the menu, when in the neighborhood, I would likely visit again.
I took my wife here for dinner in the summer of 2012. Â We had ordered the fish n chips with malt vinegar, and took a loaf of their homemade cranberry bread home, too. Â This is delicious! Â If you love fish n chips, I highly recommend theirs. Â Anything you order here is wonderful. Â It is a cozy little place and it is rustic and uniquely decorated, including busy artwork and painting all over the walls. Â There is so much to look at in there while waiting for your food to arrive. In the summertime, there are usually people from England, Ireland and other parts of the world who frequent here while they work in the U.S. Â and they also enjoy the food here. Â We've all had many great summer nights here together over the years.
Review Source:The Egg's nest is unique, and pretty good. The outside of the building is adorned with all sorts of colorful handcrafted moldings and doo-dads The inside, festooned with garlands of plastic flowers, statues of all manor of demon, angel and deity, and the loads of ever-changing crazy collages, looks like something Martha Stewart would have done after ingesting a fist full of LSD.( If she"d had the courage). They've since removed some of the potentially dangerous nicknacks. A tall friend of mine practically knocked himself unconscious on a hanging toaster as he stood up to leave. Whatever,
The food is still pretty good. My complaints are that they never change the menu and the only items that don't have cheese in them are the drinks and deserts. Oh yeah, and don't order a martini in this place, unless you drink like a nine year old. They simply cannot do it. They might just as well add cheese to this too, it certainly couldn't make it worse. All and all though, The Egg's Nest is pretty good. Also open 7 days a week, nice to have in the neighborhood.
The picturesque drive one takes that brings them to the tiny hamlet of High Falls, enhances the atmosphere of this 'cute', 'artsy cafe' on 'Main'. Although the price is a little deep in the pocket for it's portion size, the food is better than you might expect and elevates the experience to 'that was nice...'
If you somehow find yourself around these parts, venture here, it's another notch in your culinary cap.
Food was pretty good. Â Decor is unique and clean. Â We had soups and sandwiches and all were fine and portions were good. Â The prices were ok and the service was very good. Â Why only three stars? Â I tried to sit at three different tables and didn't fit comfortably anywhere. Â This has never happened to me in my 63 years. Â I am 6' 1" and 210 lbs.. on the large side but not too out of the ordinary. Â If you're comfy in cramped chairs at small tables, this is a nice place, especially for lunches.
Review Source:This place was a nice surprise in this beautiful area of rural NY. We ordered the vegetarian enchiladas, fish and chips, onion "straws" (basically rings cut in half) and the quesedillas. Very well prepared and surprisingly good. Entrees run about $10-12. My only knock is that they used American cheese in the quesedillas. Horseradish sauce for onion straws was excellent. Would definitely eat here again. Fun atmosphere, friendly staff. Vast menu, something for everyone.
Review Source:The "Thanksgiving" sandwich is one of the best sandwiches I've ever had and I love the components of it: turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce and a side of gravy to dip the sandwich in!
It is truly a unique experience and I go there just to order the Thanksgiving.
I also enjoy the eclectic and colorful décor in the restaurant.
Four Stars!!!
Super funky decor and chunky ATM(cash only here)welcome you to a High Falls institution that has seen other restaurants and trends come and go in this narrow village of high-end furnishings, antiques and a pleasant Sunday morning flea market. I've ranged cross the menu and the food is consistently good and plentiful. Excellent fries(a major food group for me,)and a decent beer selection. This place has a lot of regular local trade and the service can get a bit ragged when it is full - which is often. Personally I like cash, others(like my bro in law Ned) go ballistic and find this very inconvenient. Tough.
Review Source:The Eggs Nest is truly an experience, and believe me, it is not worth missing. Favorite items off the menu include: Nachos, corn bread, pray-sue, kaiser roll, and spicy chicken arizona. The service is sometimes better than others, but we have never had a BAD experience. The owner, Richard, is very attentive. He redecorates, doing all his own art work to make the place so unique. It is delicious, and the scenery alone is worth the trip.
Review Source:We are visiting the Woodstock and surrounding areas this weekend and found this to live up to our expectations of the 60s and 70s culture. Â It is a very eclectic culmination of art all made by the proprietor over the course of 40 years. Â It is spectacular. Â We were greeted by the owner when we came in who invited us to look around and take pictures. Â The food was ok - some of the other dishes looked better than what I had - I would not order a burger or veggie burger, the salads seemed much better. Â If you are in the area - this is a really something to experience.
Review Source:In visiting Kingston, NY with my family for Easter I asked my wife to bring me to some place that was an Ulster County 'institution' and she decided on The Egg's Nest. Â Having never been there, just walking through the door was a bit of a shock as it has the most eclectic decor I have ever seen. Â
Most importantly, however, was the delicious meal we enjoyed.  My wife had the Spicy Chicken Arizona and she absolutely LOVED it, though she would have preferred it to be just a bit spicier.  I ordered "The Thanksgiving" which is like Thanksgiving leftovers on a sandwich.  Now, I've enjoyed good food up and down the East Coast, and this was the best turkey sandwich I have EVER eaten in my life-and that includes sandwiches I've made myself.  The the apple walnut dressing  truly MAKES this sandwich and when you add the cranberry and gravy it it is absolutely a slice of heaven on wheat bread.  There's a reason this is their #1 seller.  The next time I come up here I won't even need a menu.
I've eaten here a handful of times; I find the quality of the food tends to be uneven but I've had some really great meals. The rueben, the french onion soup and the peanut butter pie were all excellent, and the chicken quesadilla was pretty good. The burger and the chili...not so much.
I love the decor and the weird layout. Hilarious.
4+ stars for food
1 star for frozen margerita
5 for decor
1 for cleanliness
4+ for pricing
$14.95 will get you a hefty portion of artistically presented tilapia tortilla, with rice and a dressed salad mixed with black beans and corn. Very good.
$12.95 for tasty looking eggplant burrito with tapenade, spinach, & mozzarella.
I was too full to try "Mom's Apple Cobbler" which sounded great. Desserts are $5.95. Wines by the glass are reasonable. The atmosphere is fun filled with more kitsch than you can imagine. I just wished that the tables were cleaner and that the dusty old wool hand made Indian hanging thingy was not so old and dusty-musty-in-my-face. Literally, my head was next to it and lightly touching it- YUCK.
The place is fabulous from the colorful outside and even more so inside, now if they could just perfect a dynamite margarita......
As everyone else has mentioned, you go here for the decor. Seriously. It's amazing. It's as if a giant ate an entire city and then threw up all over the walls. Or like taking an entire restaurant, whipping it up in a huge blender and then splattering it all over the walls. Basically, it's an ever-changing multidimensional collage that incorporates old images from magazines, hubcaps, fake flowers, Christmas bows and so much more.
The food is good, simple and affordable. Plenty of straight-forward salads with alfafa sprouts, sunflower seeds and other old-world hippie stuffs. Good veggie chile, tasty veggie quesadillas and flat-piza like things called prexous (spelling?) is accompanied by a few meat items too and some simple sandwiches.
It's not a place you go to specifically for the food, but rather for the experience. The town of High Falls is quite cute to boot.
The reason to go here is the decor. Â It's like walking into someone's crazy dream. Â There's fascinating eye-candy, trinkets and painting covering every inch of the inside of this little establishment. Â It's difficult even to find the bathroom door...
The food is also really good, fresh, basic comfort food. Â All the ingredients are super fresh from local farmers in the area. Â The best pickle I've ever eaten in my entire life came from here. Â Burgers, Nachos and Salads are good and so are their dinner plates.
I haven't been to the Egg's Nest for a while but I Â have enjoyed it on the three or four occassions i did visit.
The interior is a funky collection of sixties hippy kitsch. The menu is pretty straightforward mixtures of beans , sprouts and other veggie heavy dishes but there is meat available when required.
It wont be to everybodies taste but its a solid place.
Walking into this restaurant is like stepping through the looking-glass. The decor can only be described as kitsch, the food, amazing.
An inventive menu with a substantial vegetarian selection makes this place a must try for anyone in the Stone Ridge/High Falls area.
EDIT: If you do go, ask for the Honey n' Nuts dessert - its not on the menu anymore but they'll still make it if you make the special request. Vanilla ice cream rolled in honey and nuts then topped with real whipped cream? Heaven.
