15 Best American Restaurants in Cooperstown

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

“Excellent food. Noisy dining room.“

“We are only here for 1 night and this place is charming! We love older mid-century motels and this one is quaint yet updated. There are some negative Nellies commenting on things like the bathroom and TV size. For crying out loud, most of y'all watch TV on your phones anymore, so what does it matter if the room TV isn't gigantic? It's fine. As for there being no vanity in the bathroom for all of your toiletries, how much do you bring?! There is the back of the toilet, a shelf over the toilet, a corner shelf and the entire dresser top. Or rough it and live out of your ditty bag. We love this little place and our view is worth every penny! We are right on the lake and can watch the ducks eating. Maybe the price doesn't phase me because I live at the Jersey Shore and know all about seasonal lodgings. The price we paid for our room seems appropriate for the location and time of year. Additionally, this place, like many tourist area hotels and motels, is only open seasonally. People need to meet expenses and make a living in season and off. You want cheap, stay at a Motel 6. Highly recommend.“

“Delicious flatbreads! Amazing view, highly recommended!“

“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.“

“Great food and fast service! We sat outside by the water. We drove an hour away and would definitely go back!“

“I’ve been at the cafe for breakfast on multiple occasions; their food taste really delightful and fresh. The staff is super nice, and courteous.
Love their lemon slice cake ( they even gave me couple free slices on top of what I ordered).
Strongly recommend when visiting the Cooperstown area.“

“We absolutely love working with the team at The Otesaga Resort Hotel! As wedding planners, we’re always thrilled when couples choose this breathtaking lakeside venue. 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. Every event we’ve planned here has been seamless and memorable. Highly recommend this gem of a venue😍✨“

“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!“

“Great atmosphere! Fast and friendly service. Great food and drinks. Great option for lunch and dinner between games.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Came here after visiting the hall of fame, and we enjoyed the food. Our server was very pleasant. My wife had their tuna melt after someone said it's the best they've ever eaten, and my wife agreed. She said it was delicious. My son and I had their bison burgers, which were also very good.
We sat on the upper patio because a little league team had the lower section. We were told before we sat down that service would be a little slow due to the team being there. We didn't mind.“

“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.“
