New American Restaurants near Lansing, NY

“I stayed here at the Rogues Harbor Inn in a beautiful room in March with my daughter. We absolutely loved the place. The owner paid attention to detail with the pictures, furniture, room decor, etc. The place was so inviting! There was a most beautiful “ surprising” breakfast room when we opened the double doors to go in for breakfast! ( You will see when you go there… I don’t want to ruin the surprise)… Maybe my daughter and I are silly about things like this but our mouths dropped and we couldn’t stop smiling… Not to mention the best breakfast…Oh and there is a bar attached to the inn that you could only get back into the inn with your key card… The bar was a quiet bar, with great food and service, and we were so happy to get food after a long day of travel without getting back into the car! The history of this place was just so interesting, the place was impeccably clean and the owner was wonderful. We loved this place so much…5 stars all the way.. in fact we need to make another trip back soon!“

“We just had the best time! Capped off our Christmas Eve shopping at Rogues. Food was great! Crispy wings with mixed garlic parm and medium sauces and their steak fries! Nice beer selections and FANTASTIC service! Thanks for a great experience!“

“We came here during royal feast night and had an amazing experience!
The food was great, service was very professional and well trained, and the overall atmosphere created went further to enhance the culinary experience.
I really enjoyed how everything was organized and presented. From the table settings and menus to the plating of food, the care and attention to detail was evident.
Everyone did a great job to ensure we had a wonderful time.
I’ll definitely be back (if I can score a reservation ;))“

“Me and my boyfriend had a great time! Food was amazing“

“Fantastic Restaurant!! A must see and delicious healthy cuisine!!!“

“The Rook is always a must-visit whenever we’re in town! The menu is full of flavorful dishes, and their cocktails and beverages are equally impressive. The atmosphere is inviting and lively, making it a perfect spot for any occasion. The staff goes above and beyond - Manny in particular is friendly, attentive, and a joy to chat with. We can’t recommend The Rook enough for great food, drinks, and an unforgettable experience😍🙌“

“Quaint restaurant good for brunch breakfast and lunch. Interesting artifacts showing the history of coal being that this is an old coal weighing station. Order at the counter and they bring the food out to you right away. Park is a little tough as a lot of small and can only hold about six cars but we were lucky this time and parked in the small lot. Super friendly staff and very good food.“

“I drove down from Cape Vincent to meet one of my best friends from college who was in the area for a family wedding. I was completely blown away by my meal. The waitress was incredible. I had the Chilean sea bass and it literally melted in my mouth. The salad with fresh fruit and a raspberry vinaigrette was outstanding. We ordered coffee and I was brought a little tray with fresh whipped cream, as well as other delightful garnishes. Finally… the mile high carrot cake!! Pure bliss. Thank you for a truly memorable experience. And I was so grateful that we weren’t rushed. We don’t get to see each other frequently and it was a blessing to just spend time together.“

“We tried this restaurant tonight & I could not be more impressed!

Every item is, or is available, gluten-free. The only things not gluten-free is the pasta & rolls, but gluten-free is available. The fryer is gluten-free only so fries are safe for even Celiacs!

I personally had the fish & chips, which is fried gluten free cod, & was incredible! Other menu items (curry & fried rice special with GF fried tofu pictured) also looked amazing! There is no doubt that will be back again soon!!!! Need to try the mac & cheese and so many other menu options!!!!“

“Excellent place to eat food. They have a huge variety of foods. I actually like them better than the dining halls because the salad bar has more options and is more organized. They also pay by the lb for a lot of stuff, so you don't have to feel compelled to stuff yourself to get your money's worth. On the go snacks are available too.“

“The NYS Orchard Burger is beyond amazing! My go to when I’m in town!“

“Chef Joey has a gift for elevating meals both in flavors and textures. I wish I lived closer, I’d be here at least once a week…“

“It’s bread, pastry, and service!“

“We stayed at a nearby and wanted a real hot breakfast not one prepared and set out for everyone. This was not even a block away. We arrived right after they opened at 8:30 am so they were not busy. We were greeted immediately and told to sit where we wanted. Our drink orders were promptly taken. I ordered a latte and it was delicious. For breakfast my husband created a ham & mushroom omelette and I had the Farmhouse breakfast with fried eggs and sausage. The sausage was different I could definitely taste the herbs used, it was good. The breakfast potatoes were cooked just the way I like with skins on and browned. If we return to Ithaca I would definitely return for breakfast but they serve lunch as well.“
