“great place for a beer and some good bar food.. I guess they started opening at 3 on Sundays now that's third quarter of the early football games. We were enjoying going there for the bills games, and trying to convert Bob into a bills fan. Anyway, still a great place to stop and see Matt and Mary. Good people, and Harley riders besides. maybe hrs will change back in the summer for riding season“

“Our first time staying at the property. Check-in was super easy by text (since card was on file). We stayed in the stand-alone cabins which were awesome since we had a dog with us and planned to leave him in the cabin when we went to dinner, and he whines for a bit when left alone in a new place, so having a stand-alone cabin was helpful to not disturb other guests. The cabins were new, clean, nicely appointed, very comfortable bedding, good WiFi, easy parking right in front of the cabin, a full kitchenette. It was like a real one-bedroom house. Good location close to Watkins Glen and nearby wineries. Staff was very friendly. Will be happy to stay again in the future!“

“Sat on the covered patio with a light rain, So we were hooked early on, although it was still a tough decision, considering the interior was very cozy, and there was a excellent hostess that greeted us on 8/7/26… Cesar was good bang bang shrimp maybe a little over breaded than I would desire, porterhouse had interesting flavor, thinner cut than desired but I’ll give this place five stars thanks to our server Damon… too many young kids, lack personality and engagement but Damon had the perfect amount of tact & engagement and was witty… we are staying at the Watkins Glen Harbor Hotel as well, which is great location, clean nice place expensive but worth it.“

“Wow! We felt like we were treated as family. My daughter (V) has Celiac Disease and we very rarely eat out. Carey’s has a dedicated gluten free fryer- we loved the fried pickles and French fries! The owner was extremely knowledgeable and paid close attention to detail. V had special plates/dishes to indicate GF. Her food was brought out on a separate tray, and leftovers boxed and bagged up separately. Everyone else in our party (non GF/Celiac) agreed that all the food was delicious! (Huge juicy burgers were a hit!) We were even surprised with two Gluten Free desserts- cheesecake and chocolate cake. Great experience.“

“Our server Natalie was awesome! She was very friendly, approachable and attentive. She made sure we had everything we needed and checked back several times without hovering. Our food came out really quick and the support staff was friendly and helpful.

The survey timed out on the little payment screen but we wanted to make sure Natalie got the praise she deserves.

I visited previously with my daughter and had Natalie as our server. My daughter was very impressed with how quick the food came out and how attentive and sweet Natalie was.

When we visit again we’ll be asking to sit in Natalie’s section if it’s possible. She’s excellent at her job!“
