“Awesome place! Great food & the Staff is so nice!“

“Excellent food. Noisy dining room.“

“A thousand, thousand thank you-s to the staff at The Lake Front, especially James. We had wedding reservation changes that they handled with professionalism, patience, and charm. We have international guests as well as folks coming from the East and West coasts ... we will sleep better tonight knowing that the accommodations have been flawlessly arranged.“

“Beautiful View. Good Service. Good Food. They had parking in front of the restaurant, although small. Indoor and Outdoor seating.

Wish they had more options for kids but other than that, it was good.

They also just need to wipe down their menus. Overall, it was good.“

“I love this place, used to get breakfast here every day before work and the employees even started remembering me and preparing my drink/food before I even ordered. Would recommend this to everyone over the other breakfast places in Cooperstown. Also their ham egg and cheese is the best I've ever had, I've never been able to find one that can compare, to the extent that I now get bacon egg and cheeses from other breakfast spots so that I'm not disappointed by their ham egg and cheese.“

“Food was really good. I had the fish and chips, my wife ordered the shrimp tacos, and we shared the ahi tuna nachos. Everything was so good! The staff was awesome! Everyone had a great attitude which added to the experience. The entire restaurant is full of people enjoying good food, laughing, and having a good time. Well worth the money!“

“The food and atmosphere was so good that I left with a hoodie. 10/10 💚“

From the stunning views and historic charm to the exceptional food and flawless execution, it’s everything you could want in a wedding location. Brooke and Taylor, along with the rest of the team, are incredibly professional, helpful, and kind. They truly understand the meaning of hospitality.

“Today I had their bakery pizza. Wow!! It was just great!! Some of the best, I have had in a very look time, bread and donuts are great too. Just a really good old fashion bakery.“

“Great atmosphere, friendly people made this west coast family visit fun as we watched the SF 49ers play the Cleveland Browns on the big tv.“

“We ate breakfast at Cooperstown Diner October 28. It is tiny but don’t let size fool ya! It was delicious!! My husband’s pancakes were so fluffy. My French toast were some of the best I’ve ever had. The bacon cooked to perfection. Visiting the “Hall” from ATL, we wanted to soak up as much local culture as possible. I had found this diner online. I’m so glad we decided to eat there. If you are in Cooperstown… don’t miss this gem.“

“My wife and I passed through Coopertowns in the summer to check out the Hall of Fame during the induction weekend. It was a hot and busy day with myself, my wife, our newborn and our dog. The owner of the restaurant accommodated us and ensured we were all cared for. He went out of his way to ensure we were all fed and comfortable. Ive never forgotten the kindness he showed us that day. The people of Cooperstown are wonderful, it felt like home.“

“Laid back market/deli in Cooperstown. They make good subs and are friendly. I would consider stopping in if you need something on the go or for the ride home!

Parking: Street parking

Kid-friendliness: Of course lots of booths and tables as well to sit“

“Sometimes the dives impress. Came for the arcade to occupy the kids. Food and service were shockingly awesome. Hands down best pulled pork on the planet and their BBQ sauce is the bomb. Burgers great, fish tacos great and the lemon blueberry dessert. Wow! If you've never had a deep fried biscuit you are denying yourself one of life's pleasures. You guys rock.“
