Maureen's theme comes from the family's heritage of owning a cow farm up in the town of Callicoon and is one of the region's most beloved restaurants. The restaurant moved to its current location back in 1997 and has continually been drawing in crowds ever since. With friendly service, homemade food and a whimsical theme that brings a smile to customers faces, it's hard not to see why people love this place so much.
