17 Best American Restaurants near Fonda

“My wife and I stopped in as we traveled on the NY Thruway. The atmosphere was active but not noisy--just people enjoying a Friday night, June 27. Our food was basic as we wanted (a burger and a turkey sandwich with fries, smothered with gravy), and tasty! The mozzarella wheels and marinara were excellent! Our server was prompt and pleasant. If we're in the area again, we will stop in to enjoy it once again. Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5“

“Found this place by accident on our adventures yesterday for the 4th . Loved every minute I was there . Atmosphere is welcoming and laid back. The bartender was solo and running the bar, as well as cooking and serving all the food. She handled it so well and we got our drinks and food quickly. Thanks for the great wings and hope to make it back that way again .“

“Tonight was our first time trying your food and it was awesome. We will definitely be coming back.“

“At least a half a dozen great meals in a row now. Outstanding chef and outstanding service. Best kept secret in the southern Adirondacks.“

“The Hot Dog Hut catering service in Johnstown, NY is top-notch from start to finish. I have used them numerous times and the food is always fresh, hot, and delicious with all the fixings, tasty sides, and plenty of options to please everyone. The staff was friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to make sure our event was a success. Everything was set up beautifully and served right on time. On my last event the attendees couldn’t stop raving about how good the food was. If you want stress-free catering with fantastic flavor, the Hot Dog Hut is the way to go!“

“Waitress was great,“

“Everything. Always good, great service and food.“

“The big freezer blocks view, and they don't know people are at the door. Often you wait several minutes to be acknowledged. 1 couple came in and said the sun was too warm and they left. Then the AC came on and froze us out. Food was good and our server was polite. 2 other servers had a disagreement, and you could sense the tension. Just not like it used to be, but we like Friendly's overall.“

“I’m staying at the hotel and I have to say that the restaurant has excellent food and the atmosphere is decent. Most dinner meals come with a soup or salad (French onion is wonderful) and fresh made rolls. It is a pretty quiet place with a fireplace and lots of tables. Good for large groups or work dinners.“

“Went here on a Saturday night and it was busy. They have a nice menu, and the waitress reads the specials to you. I was torn between ordering baby back ribs, stuffed shells with sausage or their pork chop special which was sage and Parmesan crusted. My partner and I both ordered the pork chop.
Originally we were going to do an app of their breaded mushrooms, but when the waitress reads that today’s soup with cream of mushroom we both decided we would do that as an appetizer instead.
However these dinners come fully loaded. With your dinner plate, you get bread, soup, salad AND potato and then your meal.
We ate the cream of mushroom soup and it was tasty. Had large slices of mushrooms. The fresh bread was soft. The salad was small but perfect size for the amount of food you were getting. When dinner was plated it included TWO pork chops with your baked potato or steak fries and apple sauce. The pork chop was sooo juicy and tasty. Baked potato was normal and the steak fries were the same. Fries needed seasoning. But overall it was good. We ordered a slice of the coconut cream pie to share and it was huge but also very good.
Would 100% return. Prices fair!“

“Everyone is friendly and amazing people. They all go above and beyond for their customers. Super efficient and awesome food. Love being able to text to order and pick up. They're breakfast was absolutely amazing and I highly recommend the corn fritters. (My first time ever having them was here. )“

“This is the place where regulars can feel like family or new customers can become regulars. Very friendly, great service, great atmosphere. It's just one of those places where everybody can feel at home. Like the show "cheers".“

“Things are changing in this place! New people serving and new specials!!! Anyone reading this should REALLY give it a shot!
