Restaurants near Beaver Dams

“Good food, nice atmosphere. Good music.”

“Sat at the bar and the bartender was just so welcoming and friendly. She took my order right away. My food didn't take long as well. Overall. Great place to visit.”

“When I come in, all the staff is very polite and welcoming. I like the atmosphere along with the great food. Kara Tillotson will do whatever possible to make your visit a enjoyable one.”

“My husband and I drove an hour and a half for our anniversary dinner and the food was excellent. The service? Not so much. The pad Thai with mock duck was our favorite, the golden bags were also super good. Our waitress never asked if we wanted drinks other than water, we asked. Never asked if we wanted appetizers. The gentleman that ran food seemed to be working very hard, but he brought my husband’s entree out five minutes before mine. No one ever checked in with us. Had to ask for the check. Again, the food was great, and we’d come back again, but wouldn’t make the trip just for it again. As someone in the customer service industry for many years, I get being busy or overwhelmed or whatever, it just wasn’t the best experience.”

“Great coffee just around the corner from the beautiful waterfalls. In what has to be a historic building, this shop has a laid-back atmosphere. Clearly connected to the community and working to improve it. We had an iced mocha and an iced chai. The mocha had just the right amount of sweetness. Ditto the chai - good taste without the overpowering pepper taste out some chais.”

“Our second year staying in the cabins. Lovely accommodations, wonderful staff. View of the lake is gorgeous! Highly recommend!”

“This is the best pizza we have had in a LONG time. Quick & great service. The desserts are to die for! Especlly the cannolis! It is worth the trip if you aren’t in Watkins! Will be coming back. :)”

“The owner is welcoming and very attentive to customer service and the chef is amazing. Althea's has a carefully selected variety of local wines and beers that give you a chance to taste test in one location. The liquor selection encompasses every taste and the food menu has something for everyone. Will definitely be visiting here on a regular basis.”

“My wife and I had a great meal and our server, Christina, was also great.”

“I've been wanting to stop and try out this local spot but haven't taken the opportunity until today. Storm was so inviting, kind, and comfortable to talk to. I was ordering to-go and was really focused on one of their advertised beverages. Storm helped me choose the peppermint frappe with chocolate added. Delicious! She also made me a tuna melt that was fresh and delicious as well. I will definitely be stopping again to try more of their caffinated drinks! Thank you for being so sweet Storm, and I hope your family & you have a Merry Christmas!🎄”

“Mother’s Day breakfast was delicious! Generous portions, quick service, yummy food and reasonable prices. Highly recommend!”

“best place on planet earth for coffee, ice cream and breakfast. all of the staff are wonderful, considerate and great at what they do. we love the last stand.”

“I personally was not completely satisfied with the service. The food was ok but I've had better. I wanted guacamole, on my burritos, and I had to pay extra
And it wasn't even on the burrito, it came in a little container, it cost me $2.50
The servers were very heavy accented which made it hard to communicate.”

“Love Nick's. Great atmosphere, good food and clean! Katherine is the best! She knows how to take care of her customers, very attentive. Fun place to go.”

“That had to be the best egg sandwich I ever had. Randomly picked this place from a google search. It was a great choice.”

“We had Ben and Jerry’s cater desert at our wedding. Jamie, Allyson, and the crew were great! They were so helpful arranging the event, did at great job scooping for us, and were so nice!”

“They are always accommodating with special orders. I ordered a sheet pizza for my grandson's birthday to take to school and wanted it cut in smaller pieces. They made sure that the toppings were evenly divided by the smaller pieces and everything was exactly as ordered and on time. As always it was DELICIOUS!”

“There is so much more we could recommend. We have eaten here several times and we’ve not been disappointed! But something that touched us just yesterday, 2/2/25, was our waiter Shawn! We took our daughter, who has special needs, to Jerlando’s for lunch and Shawn was amazing. Not only was he an excellent waiter, but our daughter wanted a hug and Shawn never skipped a beat and leaned right in and let our daughter hug him!! His kindness toward her touched our hearts deeply! Thank you Jerlando’s for another fine meal and thank you so much Shawn for your extremely friendly attitude and your heart touching kindness to our special girl!”

“Fantastic place! Great atmosphere, nice view and courteous staff. The pulled pork was delicious! Smashing Smash Burger. Chips were a great side to both. Both the Red & Rose and White & Rose flights were nice. I enjoyed the Blanc de Noir and Barn Rose, both had great flavor and enjoyable to drink.”

“Friendly staff, Ian was very personable and friendly. He made us feel welcomed. The cheese selection from local cheese farms were plentiful. Definitely a destination stop.”

“This place is the Cheers of Watkins Glen.
Clean, well established, dive bar. Burger was great! Wings were ok too. The rockstar bar tender, Taylor, runs the full bar herself. Had a great night, hanging out and talking to people. Just an FYI, cash only!”

“Prices have raised , Food was OK. Not as good as the past.”

“First time there for breakfast and it was delicious. The sourdough toast was the best!!! Seemed adequately staffed and we were well-attended to. Good coffee, which I find many diners don’t have great coffee. We’ll be back!!”
