Dad's Copake Diner

Dad's celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, and the first day of construction back in 2000 also happens to be the current owner's birthday. Brian Peacock started as a dishwasher (it was his first-ever job) at Dad's Diner and worked his way up in the kitchen, went to school and returned to eventually purchase the restaurant from the original Dad, John Edge, who retired in 2021. Classic diner fare with comfort-food specials, such as crispy Buffalo chicken mac and cheese and French onion dip. Comfy Key: Dining • Comfort Food • Daytime Cozy • Family Friendly
