5 Best American Restaurants near Deruyter

“We stumbled upon Shelly's while out for a drive. What a gem! Huge menu - hard to decide! BEST hamburger, cooked to perfection! Homemade soup was dee-licious! Yummy Reuben sandwich! Waitress, Autumn, was super - friendly, informative, attentive. Hard to believe such a great restaurant would exist in the small town of DeRuyter. Highly recommend!“

“Clearly the first reviewer was living in some fantasy land. You get exactly what you expect from this cute lil country dive that's off the beaten path. Cheap beer and your basic low budget bar foods, served by a local bartender who will bend an ear, should you be so inclined. Sit and enjoy a single order of hot wings with you can of Genesee and listen to some live music.“

“Imagine a Dairy Queen that is older than your grandmother and is a local legend. The best soft serve ice cream found in the NY state. Sit and enjoy your ice cream, hot dogs, fries, or your choice while sitting on a picnic bench and looking out onto a field. Popular with locals and vacation visitors.“

“I can not say enough great things about this little gem of a place. Wish we knew about it sooner. The fresh homemade soups are amazing and the pies are unbelievable.For Thanksgiving my mother-in-law always makes the pies but due to health issues couldn't this year. We asked around and heard about this place taking homemade pie orders. Stopped in to check it out and ended enjoying homemade soup, a great breakfast sandwich and ended taking home a whole pie after placing our order.We ordered 9 pies and 8 were different types of pies and even special ordered one type of pie not on their extensive list. They were so accommodating about what we thought was a huge request and even let us pick up these pies on Wed afternoon before Thanksgiving and they were all FRESH!!! And while grabbing the pies we took advantage of that days homemade soup and had a fantastic dinner that evening with the soup.Talk about a hit on Thanksgiving!! Pies were fresh and delicious. Crust unbelievably flaky and tasty. the whipped cream on the cream pies were incredible and fresh. Not like you get in restaurants but like mom makes. The chocolate cream pie was the best we all had ever hadWe special ordered a custard pie which my mother-in-law always makes and it did not disappoint. It was mother-in-law approved as tasting like she had made it. The best comment from her was she was never making pies again and she wants us to order our Christmas pies from here too!!Truly a fantastic find and can't wait to try one of the fish dinners and their chili everyone talks about.“

I Wish I could give them more than 5 Stars! Highly Recommended!!!“
