Came on a weekday and still had to wait 30+ mins for food, so you know it's a popular spot. Nothing fancy here, just straightforward food and a lovely view of the lake. The fried fish is excellent!

Great food and atmosphere! The breading on the onion rings and fried mushrooms was sooooo good. Glad we stopped here!

Incredible food, great beers, awesome atmosphere. Glenwood Pines was our harvest host for a night so we came in for lunch as well as dinner.
For lunch I went with the pineburger and wings combo. Wow. Every component of this plate stood out. Extremely fresh roll, juicy delicious burger, and 1000 island dressing is a new favorite burger sauce for me. The wings were perfect, juicy and tender, crispy on the outside, and they have an awesome smokey flavor.
Dinner was the fresh fish fry, also incredible. The fish was definitely fresh, cooked perfectly. Flakey on the inside, crispy batter. Same goes for the fries. Topped off with a great local IPA. Also, you cannot sleep on that slice of peanut butter pie for dessert.
Owner and staff were really great, service was excellent and friendly. Very relaxed and inviting atmosphere. Overall a really awesome place I wish I was closer to, and will go far out of the way to visit again.

A far cry from what this place used to be is realy all that can be said about the place. You come in, have to stand in line at the bar to order your food, have to wait around the area for a good 20 minutes to pick it up in a plastic box with a pair of plastic utensils.. McDonalds has a greater Restaurant feel, than this has now. COVID is just not an excuse anymore. It's been years. So quit cutting cost, on customers expense! Not serving people, no customer service to speak of, but sure willing to take a tip. Just to bad, we used to love to stop there when visiting. Won't happen again. Very dissapointing

Just a waste of good money. I just wanted a burger well done.
Burger was not well done and leaked red onto the bun. If your talking atmosphere the air was pleasant and clear. There is no service. You pick up the food in a throw-away container and go outside and throw it away. Cannot reccommend.

Good food at fair prices.
Kids menu was portions-appropriate for a kid
Wings were Smokey and tasty- the buffalo sauce didn’t have the vinegar zing that is typical but it was still good
Burger was cooked well and served on sub bread
Game room was neat— perfect for little kids to try out retro games - pinball, etc.
Funky decorations made this place really fun to be at.
Their solution for a burger bun made the burger so good. I had the bacon blue cheese and that was great.
The view is also great

Ordering is slow and laborious. Atmosphere is sad and screams of a business that cut costs in the name of profit and the customer service be damned. Everything is served in disposable containers and really diminishes the dining experience.

Good food, clean, lake view at some tables. I liked the fish fry and Cornell chicken salad, but the real standout was the smoked chicken wings.

Absolutely not. Waited 8 years to come to this place. Finally came for Father’s Day and it was massive let down. This had to have changed ownership or something? The “famous” burger, which is why we came, was overcooked and rubbery, had 2 small wilted fragments of iceberg lettuce on it, some wet tomatoes, a barely there speck of some special sauce. Had zero flavor. We actually all agreed we wish we would’ve just gotten the burgers at the concession stand at Taughannock. The food was like a lesser version of concession food. Also the juices and soda are all off and have a very weird flavor. Maybe an issue with their fountain machine.
