36 Best American Restaurants near Colden

“I stopped in on a whim. Very friendly atmosphere the bartender recommended a burger because I wasn’t sure what to order. It was by far one of the best burgers I’ve had in years. If you have a chance to go there go and enjoy some delicious food and great conversation with the local people there. Highly recommended!“

“I wasn’t sure what to expect- I found the place on google while I was searching for a fun place to take my wife on Valentine’s Day that we’ve never been to. Looked cute in the pictures, so figured would give it a shot…and I am so so so happy we did! It has an incredible rustic feel (being an actual old Mill that’s almost 200 years old) and a warm a cozy vibe. The hostess was very kind, and sat us immediately, even though we were a tad early for our reservation. My wife was super excited because there was a working wood-burning stove right next to our table and it was so calming and toasty! The waitress was a delight, and incredibly kind and knowledgeable. Since it was V-Day they had a special menu for the night, and I promise every option looked incredible- it was really hard to choose! Needless to say, the Steak I ordered was truly one of the best I’ve ever had. It was cooked to perfection. The drink menu has some delicious options as well, and fit the vibe perfectly! For desert I got this insane Apple Fritter + ice cream bowl that really blew me away. If I wasn’t so full, I would’ve ordered a second it was so good! Such an awesome place. I’m very excited to go back again. It is easily the best Google search I’ve ever made for a restaurant!“

“Excellent pasta dish and very generous portions!“

“Charlie The Butcher continues to be the premier Beef on Weck of Western New York! Thank you for all you do for the community as well! Merry Christmas!“

“Old Orchard Inn is a bit hard to find even for GPS. Be prepared to not find it on the first try if you have never been here before. The entrance road is hidden, barely paved and rough. Parking is free though. Be prepared to drive slowly when you do enter the driveway. There is a steep upward climb when you walk to the front door. If you are elderly, infirmed or handicapped, a boy with a golf cart will come get you and transport you to and from if you encounter difficulty or simply require mobility assistance. I only know this because I saw it with my own eyes. The wait was a bit long (about 30 minutes). Judy was the waitress; I see reviews with her name from 2012. She must be a lifer. Nothing wrong with that, just an observation. She is in command and can handle any customer no matter what happens. She is a good photographer if you need that service as well. Later she brought more menus and took our orders. Although she is not bashful about giving orders as well. I had the grilled lamb salad. A "hard to get" at most places for sure. It was a grilled half rack of New Zealand lamb. Crisp spring greens, goat cheese, roasted red pepper, red onion and lemon chive dressing. Highly recommend this! The sides are served family style to everyone at your table. We had summer squash and carrots, and herb roasted red potatoes. Judy will not do substitutes! The blood orange creme Brule is splendid for dessert. The restroom was a bit silly. The towel dispenser was hung from the ceiling, also just enough room to turn around in there. So, no need to be concerned about sharing it with anyone, you will have plenty of privacy. There is outdoor seating and a duck pond when the weather is nice. There is also a fireplace if the weather is cool. Certainly, memorable and will never be forgotten. In the event you are looking for something very unique with a flair for charm, the Old Orchard Inn may be just your ticket for elegance, relaxation and fun. Caveat Emptor.“

“From beginning to end, everything was top notch. The waiter was very attentive, and the owner was very pleasant. The food was delicious. From the deviled eggs, calamari, chicken Milanese, and the scallops on tomato based risotto, everything was delicious! And to top it all off was two different kinds of cakes. Both were big and wonderful. We will definitely be going back!“

“If you want to go where everyone knows your name, it’s Kipps and the food is amazing. The service is fantastic, out of this world and you’re pretty much served within five minutes!“

“Ordered pancakes only. They weren't on the menu alone without sides but she said they had them. Pancakes were $13.95 with a side so I never expected the pancakes alone would be $12.95. They were good but thought it was kind high with no meat or eggs or anything else. I wouldn't have ordered them if I knew it would be so much for just pancakes. Menu was nice, varried. Service was good .“

“Have not been to the restaurant side since Anthony took over ownership. It has a completely different vibe! The food may seem like what you have seen on a menu before, but their take on it is absolutely fabulous! I have never had a clam chowder like the one served here. It is amazing! I would return for the clam chowder alone. The sweet potato fries may look typical, but their taste-like nothing I have ever had before. Not sure what their secret seasoning is. The wings rock. We left with doggy bags because we didn’t want to waste any of the delicious food! The chicken piccata, chicken Parmesan- might want to consider sharing! If you have been here before 2023 and been disappointed, you need to revisit! Trust me! And bring even the most finicky of your teens! They will be happy as well!“

“I have not played a round of golf yet this year, but since the opening of Nora’s on 9 I have eaten here several times. I’ve enjoyed the Hotdog with chili sauce to the smash burger. Onion rings or fries or even the Tots. To this point the food has been spot on, and always served with a smile. Highly recommended“

“My husband was given a gift certificate to Taste so we tried it out for the first time and had been routinely coming since! We love the atmosphere. Rustic building, hip coffee shop vibe. They offer tea and coffee options including seasonal features. Soup and Mac n cheese sides, breakfast, sandwiches, salads, comfort food like pot roast, and desserts displayed so you can make a choice. They have a cooler with drinks like pop, water, juices, and such, and beer selections including NA. We tend to park in the lot behind the building, walk up the stairs through the little pedestrian alley, and enter through the side door. Staff are always pleasant, food has been consistent, and the coffee is delicious. Restroom was clean when I've used it, but the tables have always needed to be wiped down the several times we've visited. There is the expectation guests will clear their trash, but perhaps adding the ability for patrons to wipe their table would be helpful. We wouldn't mind wiping it down before we leave or grabbing something from the station area to clean a dirty table before we sit as compared to not having a place to sit.“

“I recommend having the Apple Bourbon Burger with salted fries- both were absolutely delicious!! The burger was perfectly cooked, had incredible flavor, served with apple slices, bacon and a savory sauce and then the fries were both crispy and salty. The atmosphere was just as impressive; their Christmas decorations made the whole place feel warm, festive, and inviting. Had an amazing experience and will be back soon!“

“Didn’t go in but I did tailgate here on the 28’th of December before the Bills game. Thanks again for opening up the lot earlier then everyone else and letting us fans get the tailgate started good and early. Had 2 outdoor out houses for going to the washroom and they were clean for at least the begging of the day. Will defiantly be back to tail gate again.“

“Always great food. I have been a customer since they opened and have never had a bad meal.“

“First time - not the last . New to the area - everyone told me to go For their fish fry . It’s a slammed Friday and they were pumping meals out and got my food 1/2 the time they told me . The owner and staff are awesome and friendly! So I Got a fish fry and took it home - still crispy and hot . Honestly a 10/10 - and I’m picky with fish fries. Best anywhere around Elma / EA !“

“Wonderful, laid back place. After a day of walking around the village; my man and I stopped in for bowling, drinks, and some video games. Very enjoyable. Good drafts. The bar staff was very hospitable and friendly. Shoutout to Dominic and Kirstin, you all are awesome!“

“very pricey and small portions..coworker got steak in the grass sandwich and sweet potato fries and with tax and takeout fee it was 24 dollars..souvlaki wrap and fries was 17 dollars..a super basic cold tuna sandwich with fries was 16 dollars..this place used to be great but has went downhill the past few years..they've lost my business“

“Stopped in this evening after a day on the slopes with my son the service and atmosphere was amazing. Food was delicious and just what we wanted after being out in the cold. We would recommend this place for a family dinner or casual outing“

“The food and service was good. Be aware! The prices on the menu are different from what they charge you. My meal in the menu was $18.99. I was charged $23.99 for shrimp scampi and much smaller portion from past order. Fish fry was listed as $15.99 was charged 21.99. They need to let you know the prices are higher than what is listed in their menu. ?‍♀️“
