14 Best American Restaurants in Cooperstown

“We live about 30 minutes from Cooperstown and we’re feeling a bit cooped up due to the cold weather so we decided to go for a drive. We ended up in Cooperstown and, omg, the cutest town ever. As a Baltimore girl and an O’s fan, it was so cool just to walk around a bit. We saw the Double Day Cafe and went there for lunch. Honestly, I think we were just expecting the usual pub food touristy mediocre place (you know what I mean) But no. This place was SOOOO FREAKING GOOD! I had the veggie burger, it was really cool to see an old school homemade veggie burger on the menu. It was delish! And the avocado on top was perfection. How? I don’t know but it was. Also, the macaroni salad was the best I’ve had in a long time. Kind of smoky-ish flavor? So good My friend had a burger. He loved it It hit the spot. Our server, a young woman with glasses and light brown hair (I know, I’m horrible, I can’t believe I didn’t get her name) was awesome. Easy breezy, doing her thing, attentive to everyone, and just all around super cool. Made our day!“

“Excellent food. Noisy dining room.“

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

“Ive already posted this on google reviews so I’ll post it on Facebook as well! I haven’t been in Cooperstown in quite some time and having to wait for a bit for my wife’s surgery to be completed I went to Upstate bar and grill for the first time. With my mind being everywhere (even for a minor surgery that takes a bit to do) this place was literally wonderful. I don’t do many reviews if at all but I wanted to do one for here. Food was great and the service was SPOT ON! Most importantly so very polite and Nice. My servers name was heather and like I said she was wonderful and thoughtful. I wish most places were kinda like this. Thank you for the service and polite hospitality. I’ll be sure to bring my wife and son when I can!“

“Delicious flatbreads! Amazing view, highly recommended!“

“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 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.“

“Simply the best! Highly recommended!!“

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

“Good Food, Fair Price, and great atmosphere. Very Friendly!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Our entire baseball team came to eat here from Cooperstown. They were able to accommodate 40(ish) of us on the outside patio. We did call ahead a few hrs prior to reserve. Very close walk to Baseball Hall of Fame as well.

Lunch was great. Everyone loved their food. The Ruben is a must! The server recommended it, did not disappoint. Service was great and food was quick. They have a really good system for serving large groups. Inside is small, so expect to sit on the patio if you have a larger group.“
