5 /5 Christopher DiFulvio: The Pioneer Cafe in Glenfield is a true culinary gem with a warm local vibe and cooking that rivals top New York City spots. The omelettes alone are worth the drive from anywhere in the state. If you are coming from Canada, it is absolutely worth crossing the border for what may be the best homemade English muffins you will ever have.
Everything is done right. The English muffins are perfectly fluffy, never over salted or over buttered. The omelettes are filled with fresh vegetables that are cooked just right and balanced beautifully. Nothing feels heavy or rushed. It is simple food done at a very high level.
If you find yourself anywhere near Lewis County, make the trip. The Pioneer Cafe is easily one of the best diners in New York State and a place that deserves to be sought out.
