24 Best American Restaurants near Chautauqua

“We just had a phenomenal dinner at Intermezzo and we could not be more pleased. The service was the best we have experienced in Chautauqua ( and outside of CHQ). The specialty cocktails were all delicious and well crafted. We had an appetizer of tuna tacos that was huge and flavorful. One of us had the shrimp “cargots “ (also a app)which was accompanied by two huge slabs of bread for dipping. Two of us had the shrimp and grits which was divine. One person had the buratta on focaccia and it rocked. I had the pizza of marinara, truffle oil, mushrooms and cheese which melted in my mouth and it had cauliflower crust that was the best I have had. The wines were also great. To top it all off, it was comparatively inexpensive to other places on the ground. Totally worth a visit.“

“Stockton Hotel: A Wing Lover’s Paradise with Unbeatable Hospitality. Imagine stumbling upon a hidden gem that not only nails the art of the perfect chicken wing, but also wraps you up in the kind of warmth and friendliness that makes you feel like family. That’s exactly what we found at the Stockton Hotel on our first visit tonight. As a Buffalo, New York native, I don’t throw around compliments on wings lightly, but their Four Corners Sauce wings genuinely rank among the best I’ve ever had. And that’s saying a lot! Brandi (with an “i”) and Ginger, the wonderful owners, have created a space that’s both adorable and incredibly welcoming. Brandi herself served us, and she couldn’t have been more personable or hospitable. Before we even get to the rest of the feast, let’s talk about the unexpected bonus: a Buffalo Bills merch corner that had us stocking up on gear at fantastic prices. Yes, you can dine and score awesome Bills swag all in one go. As for the food itself: the French onion soup was rich and comforting, the eggplant parm and pork chop special were cooked to perfection, and even the simple things—like the dinner rolls and salads—were memorable. Everything from start to finish was just stellar. In short, if you’re anywhere near the Stockton Hotel, you owe it to yourself to drop in. It’s cute, it’s cozy, it’s absolutely delicious, and we can’t wait to come back. Highly, highly recommended!“

“Outstanding wine selection and phenomenal desserts, not to mention the fantastic service, I highly recommend a visit to a unique and worthwhile establishment. We were able to impress our out of town guests with delicious wine and delectable desserts. Thank you, Splash!“

“Cash only here however, the Maplewood Motel has an ATM in their Lobby.

The staff were very friendly and the fish fry was pretty good. The salad that I shared with my friend was nice and fresh, which can be hard to come by these days from a no frills restaurant. They generally have a variety of fried foods here. They have a pretty good beverage selection to choose from in the cooler.

They are a cross between a normal restaurant and a Cafe. The outdoor patio seating felt a bit like dining in a sunroom, which made it feel more comfortable and pressure or rush to finish my food and visit.“

“Great customer service price about right ght 46.00 dollars with 3% tip totaled
Video of store/restaurant very clean

Parking: You could even come there by boat at the marina

Kid-friendliness: Great place to take kids to eat well watching boat ⛵? come into the marina even rentals ask cashier about the rentals“

“Everything on the menu is fantastic!“

“My partner & I traveled to Lily Dale for the 4th of July & had a fantastic experience at the Lily Cafe & Restaurant! The atmosphere was welcoming & unique.

I ordered the Lily Dale Salad, which was one of the BEST salads I’ve ever had. We also shared both the apple pie sundae & the s’mores sundae, again—both were easily among the best sundaes I have ever had.

The service was warm, friendly, & quick. Would absolutely recommend the Lily Cafe & Restaurant to anyone visiting Lily Dale & will definitely be back during our next visit! 💕“

“This small restaurant in lakewood ny is great. I had a grilled chicken sandwich which was full of flavor. I dont normally get grilled but I have to say it was really good. The people here were super friendly and has like an old school diner feel. If you come here you won't be disappointed. They are only open till 2 I think. But I guess they are great for breakfast cus all I seen when I got here were people getting breakfast and it all look great. Can't wait to come back and try the breakfast. Price isn't to bad for the type of service you get.“

“Just had one of the best meals of the summer at Stella’s last night! 10/10/25. I ordered their special of stuffed haddock and was not disappointed. Thank you to your entire staff for another outstanding dining experience! Great date night thanks to ALL of you!!“

“The shrimp basket is my faveeee.“

“Went here for a quick 9 after work. It was easy to get a tee time and pace of play was great. My one criticism was that you went back and forth over the same creek a couple of times and the fairways were close together. Definitely some places where you can lose balls.“

“Have historical interest in old diners with this diner being the hometown diner. Could anyone tell me why the diner does not have its original green marble glass above each window?“

“We've been going to Guppy's for years. ALWAYS great food & service very attentive, the drinks are also good. We I've in Ohio but never miss Guppy's when we go to Chautauqua Lake, it's amazing.“
