Thirty-Two Lunch

Just a mile away in Rosendale proper are a bunch of granola, vegan, free-​range, farm-​to-​whatever, hippie type places, which is fine if you’re into that sort of thing. If you want a burger and fries, you come here. The menu isn’t huge but what they do have is good. There are specials as well, so look at the board or ask. The burger is served on a nice chewy hard roll, not that generic bun you get at most diners. Breakfast is served all day and they do a bang-​up job on it. An order of waffles came with a huge mound of bacon, and again it was a good quality bacon, not that thin stuff you sometimes get.
32 Lunch is a throwback to an earlier era and I hope they stay in business forever.

This place isn’t a place to bring your girlfriend/​wife and kids. It’s more of a trucker’s lunch spot that serves diner style foods.
I’m guessing this place has its crowd of regulars. I got some «who is this guy?» looks from the people sitting at the counter as I walked in to have a seat. The booth I was sitting in had a tear in the seat that was solved with a little duct tape.
I ordered a bacon cheeseburger with fries. The grill is in sight of the dining area so you can actually watch your food get prepared. The burger was very delicious and served up quickly. Prices are great. The cheeseburger deluxe was under $ 10 and came with lettuce, tomato, onions, mayo, and fries.
There was the occasional F bomb dropped here and there in conversation between the owner and other customers. Not in a violent way, but if you’re one of those people who doesn’t like hearing that sort of thing, then I suggest you go elsewhere. Like I said before, this isn’t a a place to bring your family.

Good, solid, plentiful food entertainingly made and served in a friendly manner. Good value and definitely worth going to when in the area.

Good alternative in the area to the sometimes over-​health-​conscious fare elsewhere. This is a small diner with friendly staff. When I was there, the owner was engaged with one of the customers in a prolonged political conversation (which his sister felt compelled to apologize for).

Great diner food and great company a local gem. Have the turkey sand for lunch Also his breakfast foods are really great. Also he will banter at length if you want
