Seating was bad, broken chairs, people sitting in personal space, food was not great, over priced, service was slow.

Great place to grab a bite in Cooperstown! The food was fresh, flavorful, and came out quickly. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The atmosphere is fun, relaxed, and perfect after a day exploring town or watching baseball. Definitely recommend the burgers and appetizers. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in the area!

Beautiful all outdoor restaurants! Amazing staff which was very kind and always came and checked on us. The Reuben was one of the best Reuben’s I have ever had! Highly recommend!
