Restaurants near Black River

“First visit was this past Thursday & we had a blast, the staff was so friendly & a good time was had & memories were made.”

“The ladies that work here are absolutely AWESOME! The food snd atmosphere is GREAT! The Cooks are excellent!!! This business is a huge asset to the area!”

“If cocktail magic had a home address, it would be The Craft 836, where the bartender wasn’t just a drink-slinger—oh no—this professional mixology wizard seemed to craft beverages with the finesse of someone who may or may not have trained with celestial beings. Every glass that left the bar glowed with the promise of happiness, good decisions, and possibly better posture. And then… the Craft and Jamaican dry rub chicken wings. Scrumptious doesn’t even begin to describe them. These wings strutted onto the table like they knew they were the star of the show—juicy, spicy, and seasoned so perfectly you’d swear they had their own PR team. Meanwhile, everything coming out of the kitchen looked so jaw-droppingly delicious it made me question every life choice that led me to not ordering that, that, and definitely that. Even the ordering app was a delight. A simple QR scan and—voilà!—this sixty-something woman was tapping, selecting, and paying with the grace of a digital native. No confusion. No panic. No accidentally ordering seventeen sides of fries. (Though honestly, that might not have been the worst fate.) Kudos to the staff and management—this place runs like a well–garlic-oiled machine: smooth, flavorful, and leaving you wanting more. Five stars, a happy belly, and a newfound confidence in QR codes. Cheers!”

“The food was absolutely amazing and the atmosphere was great—such a nice place to enjoy a meal. Unfortunately, the service was just mediocre and didn’t match the quality of everything else. With better service, this would easily be a 10/10 experience. Still definitely worth visiting for the food alone!”

“We ordered the bandeja paisa and the ropa vieja woth tamarind juice. The food was delicious, absolutely to die for. The food was super authentic and tasted very fresh. The service was excellent, and our waiter made sure we had everything we needed. I will definitely be back! I recommend this to anyone in the area and even further!”

“This was a very nice place for dinner. Our waiter was prompt, considerate, and helpful. Dinner was delicious. We will definitely be back when we return to the area.”

“the watertown location is my girlfriend and i’s favorite spot for coffee and brunch! the brunch burger is insanely good. the past two times we’ve been we’ve gotten that and whatever pastry is speaking to us that day because they’re all always incredible. i feel bad that i had a bad first impression with the coffee here. i got a regular drip coffee my first visit in and wasn’t impressed at all, but i really think it was a fluke because every other drink i’ve had has been off the charts! always a great atmosphere, timely service, and reasonable prices for the high quality.”

“If you want authentic boba drinks, this is the place to go! I'm a big boba drinker since 7 years old! Being born and raised in Cali, I had my fair share of boba drinks. Moving to fort drum due to military life and for some odd reason I decided to stay, there were really no good boba drinks. Ju Ju and the boba store in Syracuse mall were my go-tos for quite a while, but O-OH is absolutely the best! They meet my tasting standards I had from the west side! Also they are the most caring and sweetest people! O-OH customer service is always excellent and they really value their customers! They greet everyone with a friendly smile on their face! Even when I come in upset or angry, they always change my mood and I go back to being happy! The store is literally a happy atmosphere!”

“I was a little disappointed with last night's visit (2/3/24), which is truly a first. We arrived shortly after 5:00 pm. When my wife ordered the steak sandwich she was informed that they were out of that, so she changed her order to the Reuben. I then ordered the roast pork. Five minutes later our server returned and informed me that they were out of the roast pork as well. A restaurant shouldn't be out of 2 menu items at 5:15 pm - that's a problem. That said, the food we received was delicious and our server was excellent. I've never had a bad meal or poor service here and probably never will - I will definitely be back and I can still recommend the Crystal without reservation.”

“Absolutely the best food in the area! Whoever was in the kitchen today nailed it. Best hot basil fried rice ever. The Tom Kha Gai was perfect! And the red curry is a favorite.”

“Miz Betty and crew were a joy to work with. My dad loved his 70th birthday cake. It wS beautiful AND delicious! We will definitely be visiting Miz Betty again.”

“Vito’s for the win like always! Our vet clinic gets a large lunch order and it’s always great ! Thank you guys ! -Valley Vet”

“stopped in for a bit yesterday and absolutely loved the atmosphere inside. I had the pleasure of speaking with owner and manager both truly caring and talented women. the pasta salad was delicious 🤤. my boys loved the cookies as well. I look forward to becoming a frequent customer... Thank you so much.”

“We ordered pizza, wings and an antipasto salad and it was all FANTASTIC!! It was easy to order online and the food was hot and perfect when it arrived. We haven't been to the establishment in person yet but we are definitely planning on it now!!”

“Great little place to go to. The food was good I wish I got something else. The burger was probably not the best choice. Still good just not great. The chili was awesome!”

“Fun, friendly and slightly insane. we are from out of town and we're treated as old friends. Food was fantastic. BTW, Hannah is the best (She told me to say that).”

“Food was delicious but they need to send people home when they are sick some guy that was working there was begging to leave cause he didn’t feel good they wouldn’t let him leave until the shift was over. He went to the bathroom multiple times vomiting his brains out. So my first experience at this place I had to hear puking sounds while I was eating it was very disturbing.”

“Best restaurant in Fakenham- cannot recommend this place enough! It is a staple for meet up with friends and birthday celebrations! Amazing vegan options and meat options! Lovely service from a small family run business! Beautiful and charismatic interior! Food next to none- best Thai in north Norfolk ♥️”

“Finally got some gelato this week and it was so worth it! We tried Pumpkin Pie and Fior Di Latte. Both equally delicious, the perfect sweet treat! I will definitely be stopping in for more!”

“Just tried Friede’s Diner in Watertown today and WOW. The eggs were perfect dippy eggs, the bacon was cooked to perfection, and the homemade Italian bread was absolutely top tier. The sausage links were to die for. Everything came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor. On top of that, the staff was amazing and made the whole experience even better. If you're in Watertown, NY, don’t sleep on this diner you’ll definitely be missing out!”

“great food well worth the price portion size is great and the staff are awesome will be going again”

“A legit Korean restaurant! The ramen is definitely good—they use Shin Ramyun and enhance it with extra meat and vegetables. The kimchi fried rice is also really tasty. The side dishes are solid as well, just what you’d expect, including the pickled radish. However, I do think the bulgogi could be better.”

“Love their sheet pizzas. They are perfect for larger gatherings. Also, try their Garlic & Parmesan wings. Yum!”

“Friendly service, good ice cream and Great ice cream pies”

“Great staff and high quality ingredients”

“Favorite pizza place! We typically go once a week and never have any issues.”

“Always great food and the manager is super helpful! Never had an issue.”

“I ordered the Cottage corned beef and was I ever surprised to see how big it was. Not only was it huge but it was the tastiest Reuben I’ve ever had. I swear there was at least a pound of corned beef on it and it had the perfect ingredient ratio. A lot of Reuben’s I’ve had they were overpowered by either the sauerkraut or thousand islands dressing. But this sandwich you could taste everything on the sandwich equally I am thoroughly impressed. I highly recommend the cottage Inn.”

“Ricardo’s food is amazing and the proprietor is amazing. Salt of the Earth !”
