Realizing that COVID has changed a lot of places, guess was hoping here would be relatively the same. Nope. We were a large party, & sat ourselves outside on the porch so we could visit, etc. Orders had to be placed individually inside however, there...was no service outside except delivery of the order. In to-go boxes. We even bussed our trash. My breakfast was ok. Had some problems finding things I could eat with diet restrictions. My brother's sandwich was huge. He couldn't finish it. My niece, who is vegan, had salads to choose from. She settled on "Asian". A lot of lettuce, & since they'd run out of cranberries (on an "Asian" salad), they substituted raisins. Hmmmm We ate a number of their pies over the 3 days we were there. Very good generally. It's the kind of place you go because it's what you do, tradition. But it just isn't any more.More

We live in Albany and always make at least two visits a year to the Noon Mark Diner. The food and service are legendary. And in recent years, they've upped their currency with an amazing gluten-free menu. Our first clue this wouldn't be the usual...experience was when we pulled into the parking lot and were met with surly glares by kitchen staff slouching on the back steps smoking. Not a pleasant welcome, especially when we said hello to them and they glared at us. We put that unpleasantness behind us, eager for another good meal at one of our favorite places. Our second clue: it was a gorgeous Saturday in the Keene Valley yet there was many an empty table within. Normally it's chock-a-block with people and the overflow spills onto the porch. Third clue: there were few of their signature pies for sale. Normally, there are garrisons of pies in their white cardboard boxes piled floor-to-ceiling and plenty of gluten-free varieties. Plus, always more frozen pie to be found in the freezer. For the first time in my 30+ years of visiting, the freezer was broken. Not a good sign or look. The hostess was brusque and unfriendly but our waitress was kind. We were very disappointed to see the gluten-free menu had been done away with and the menu was slashed by 2/3 of its former opulence. We reluctantly placed an order for things we hadn't planned on eating. The food was mediocre at best. The fries were cardboard sticks. The Fried Fish OK, but definitely frozen-dinner vibes. My husband's order was wrong and he politely sent it back. He was served two poached eggs with his hash instead of soft-scrambled. The dish was returned to us with rock-hard scrambled eggs, presumably as a rebuke for having the temerity to send the eggs back to the kitchen. I can only conclude, quite sadly, that this once-outstanding establishment is under new ownership. R.I.P. the Noon Mark of yesteryear. :(More

You have to stop at this diner when you enter Keene NY to experience classic diner food. The home made pies are a MUST. Ask for Nicolle....she is exceptional.

My friends and I headed up to Lake Placid last Fall and as we drove by the Noon Mark Diner, all 4 of us said "We HAVE to stop there!". We had never been to the area but the look of the diner was so...charming. We are SO glad we stopped! We all enjoyed delicious diner fare (hot dog with special sauce was a fav!) but the best was yet to come! The PIES!! So many flavors/varieties but the raspberry crumb was the best pie I have ever had! We even stopped on our way home to get more pies to go!More

The Chicken Corn Chowder (with bacon) was filling. The serving size for the Spinach Lasagna was small, but good and homemade that day. Comes with two slices of buttered Texas Toast. Apparently the restaurant is known for their homemade pies and quiches.

In the Covid world it is difficult to fairly rate a restaurant. They are only open this year for takeout but you can eat on the patio. However, we have been there several times before. It’s a friendly little place with good diner food. However,...their real claim to fame is their outstanding homemade pies and breads. Their peach crumb pie is to die for. Best we have had anywhere and we always get a pie and a couple of loaves of bread to take home with us.More

We came here after hearing about all of the amazing pies only to be dissatisfied. The pies were just ok. I personally think that it was over hyped. Nothing really stood out. It was all just average.

In the age of Covid 19, they are only open for takeout. Having left a hotel that no longer served breakfast in Saranac Lake we were intent on some normalcy-we never skip breakfast. We passed several places along the way that were closed. The lady...behind the plastic screen was cheerful and took our order of one breakfast sandwich, one order of pancakes and two black coffees. It was a lovely day, and we took advantage of their outdoor tables behind the diner. While we were waiting for our order to be processed a local stopped by and picked up a pie. There is a sign that suggests this is a source of pride and a few other customers nodded approvingly. The breakfast was OK, nothing special. We were grateful to be able to use clean restrooms and get back on the road. Styrofoam and plastic and a plastic bag don't enhance the culinary ambiance. Perhaps a higher rating would be justified in another time.More

Apparently a local landmark, the Noon Mark provides an ideal oasis for those who are enjoying the beautiful Adirondacks. Stopped for breakfast and made sure that we stopped in the next day as well. Great food, good service. Highly recommended!

Heading out of lake placid we tripped over this diner. Stopped in for breakfast and found out they make all their breads, pies, jellyies etc. Had a great breakfast, waitress was friendly and food came fast. Picked up one of their strawberries rhubarb crumb pie.....can't...wait to try!! The place was adorable and very clean bathrooms.More

We enjoyed a couple meals at Noon Mark Dinner! We stopped for lunch one day and breakfast the next before some serious hiking. The service was great. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive to refills of drinks. The food hit the spot and made...us feel we were eating good old fashion comfort food that had some homemade love added to it. Definitely will eat here again if we get a chance to come back to the Keene Valley area!More

If you just have a meal and no dessert you’ve missed the best part of eating here. Pie choices to make everyone happy - better yet take home a pie or two from there selection of pies to go!
