Westwinds - Preston Hollow, NY

[Webmaster]

Located on NY Route 145 in Preston Hollow, NY, it's a little hard to characterize this place. It bills itself as a truck stop, but to me it seems more like a gas station / convenience store that has a grill. They serve the usual burgers, fries, and so forth that any number of other rural roadside eateries serve.

It's also hard to characterize the feel of the place. The food was okay, the rest rooms were clean, the service was quick enough, and the orders were delivered accurately. But the place has a feeling like something out of "Deliverance." Both the "regulars" and the wait staff just kind of staring blankly at newcomers, and the check is delivered a bit too quickly -- as if they're just as happy that you leave.

Nonetheless, the food was decent (if not particularly memorable), the prices were reasonable, and the service acceptable (though not especially cheerful).
