The Gem restaurant offers an exceptional dining experience. With a mixology bar and a menu featuring the best BBQ in upstate NY, every aspect of the meal is a delight. The pulled pork, smoked chicken, and brisket are standouts, with the chicken wings and 3-meat combo being popular choices. The sides, such as potato salad, are also exceptional. The outdoor seating area with a fire-pit adds to the cozy atmosphere. The restaurant also offers a creative and delicious menu, including shrimp & grits and stuffed French toast, which are highly praised. The cocktails are uniquely delicious, with scrumptious sauces and amazing smoked wings. The staff and service contribute to the inviting environment, enhanced by cozy modern cabin vibes. The Gem provides a friendly, cozy, and memorable place for a great meal. Customer reviews highlight fantastic drinks, with a Moscow Mule made with fresh lime juice and homemade ginger syrup being excellent. The food is fantastic, with wings being a must-have, the pulled pork platter great, and even the pickled onions on point. The brisket, ribs, and wings are described as world-class elite, and the brisket is considered the best outside of Texas. The restaurant offers 4 different creative BBQ sauces for the pork and wings. Customers note the high quality of food and great service.
