Robin, Jean’s Diner

by Jon Katz

On Saturday mornings, we sleep late if we can, and then head out to Jean’s Diner in Hoosick Falls, N.Y. We both love the oatbran pancakes there. Jean’s is the kind of place where everybody call you “hon,” and where my decaf coffee and Maria’s herbal tea are waiting for us when we sit down.

Robin is a superb waitress. She memorizes what everybody likes to drink and brings it as people are taking their jackets off. The service is lightning quick and  friendly, the oat bran pancakes are exceptional. I also loved the whole belly clams I got there a couple of weeks ago, and I am serious about my clams.

I think we will be regulars there. We might even get a regular table. The diner is iconic, I imagine it hasn’t changed a bit in 40 years.

  1. “Hon,” that must be a northern version of Baltimore, Maryland. Did Jean move there from Baltimore?

  2. Thank you so much ☺️ This is awesome to read about my diner.. Jean was my mom, my rock ❤️… she’s been gone for 27 years… Robin, and many have been here for years, (my family) keeping JEANS name shining. ❤️❤️❤️
