Up North Wood Fire Bar & Grill

My husband and I stopped in for take out before reaching our campsite. NEVER AGAIN! I ordered plantains, as I am Puerto Rican, I was extremely disappointed. At $7.50, they were dry as dirt,because they didn't have any garlic sauce, or salt, and every puerto rican knows that plantains come with sauce and plenty of it. Waste of money. My husband ordered the sausage and peppers, which consisted of 1 sausage cut in half,on a hamburger bun and a few pieces of peppers. Fries were average, $14.50. I had the chicken quesadilla, $17.50. Ordered 1 margarita and double Jim Bean for hubby, I believe they were $15.00 each because the entire bill was a bit over $72.00, and being the person that I am, I left a $10 tip, not knowing what the food looked like until we got back to our campsite. Needless to say, much of it got tossed.
If I could give it a negative star. review, I would. WASTE OF MONEY

Sorry, my last review was under my business account (Says Amy Gillette). But I meant every word I said, could not have had a more pleasant experience than I had today. Will 100% be returning every time I'm up here. Truly fell in love with this place!! And thank you all for your hospitality!!

Absolutely love it here!! Been going to Old Forge area since I was a kid and just stopped here for the first time and so glad I did. The atmosphere is really nice and comfortable but what was far more important to me was the people and how they treated me/interacted with me. Nama was AMAZING, very approachable and easy to have a conversation with. She made my visit there one I'll never forget with the stories and laughs. The owner Sue was a riot, high energy, super outgoing, friendly and funny AF. I even spoke with the cook Rob who was very friendly, we swapped some stories for a bit and seems like a good dude. I went there for wings and ended up getting a great experience! 10/10 great place. Hope you love it like I now do.
Many thank yous,

I took my family here after going to water safari. We should have bought food at the park. It would have been better quality and value. A $9 kids spaghetti was served in a small soup cup. Our “wood fired pizza” was premade frozen crust that looked like someone torched the edges and was burned and was barely cooked on the bottom. The fountain drinks for kids and adults were $3 and did not come with refills. We left hungry after spending $60 on dinner for 2 adults and 2 children. We will never go back.

My hubby and I took a day trip up north. We decided on this spot for a quick bite. I must say, we had a very nice time. Staff were friendly, our server, Arley was sweet and careful to get our order correctly. The food... well that is something that I need to sample more of the menu to give a full taste of. I can say that the wings, the sauce, the yucca balls and the empanandas were so tasty. Definitely a destination spot for some tasty snacks. I am dying to try the chicken and rice... if they season empanandas like that, you're damn straight they know how to season those meats. Will be back.
Thanks Arley!

Great meal last night at Up North on 28 in Eagle Bay! We were a big table of 10 that came to try the Puerto Rican menu items and it was fantastic. Loved the friendly staff especially our server Arley!

Food was great! Arley our server was top notch!! We asked him for recommendation and his suggestions were perfect!! Would recommend Up North Wood Fire Bar and Grill !

The food was wonderful! Arley was a great server, kind quick and patient with our bigger group. The chicken wings are top tier!

Breakfast food was poor; should not open for breakfast unless someone makes an effort to improve.
