40 Best American Restaurants near Mohegan Lake

“I moved out of town to Duchess County and I drove down to Mohegan Lake just to go to the Applebee’s. The kitchen manager Will was amazing. He helped with my grandchildren’s specific dietary needs. Our server Anna was so knowledgeable and helpful also. I lived in Cortlandt manor for 25 years and loved going there.“

“It was Thanksgiving 2025 and my mom had passed away September 2025 so it was very rough mentally/emotionally…The team at the Mohegan IHOP(which is now 24hrs) were exceptional!!! After a matinee movie I stopped for my son’s favorite, the Cinnamon Stack pancakes with bacon and it was hot, fresh and DELICIOUS as my son said! I want to thank them from the bottom of my heart because I left in tears after a very kind gesture from the hostess(unfortunately I didn’t get her name), Sam(my previous server) and team! They definitely displayed empathy, love and compassion! I can’t wait to dine in again, it’s always top tier! Thank you again Team Mohegan Lake and see you soon<3“

The owner and his wife are also very helpful with food allergies and making sure the food is safe.“

“Absolutely excellent dinner location for Thanksgiving. Authentic Revolutionary War Era Inn setting with phenomenal dinner menu for Thanksgiving. 4 of us came here for Thanksgiving- my wife, me and her parents, we all got something different and this place did not disappoint on anything. The chateubriand filet mignon and New Zealand rack of lamb were on point in every way. The side vegetables- the sweet potatoes, the stuffing, the arugula, the green beans, and the carrots were all perfectly cooked to an optimome composition and coloring. The popovers were a nice throwback a little dry but the strawberry butter more than made up for them. The dessert the Belgian chocolate mousse was impeccable. The overall ambiance and atmosphere of this place was very Yankee in a great way, it reminded me of Olde New England Inns and Taverns. Pricing wise it was not the most economical menu but doing Thanksgiving at home with guests wouldn’t have been cheaper. I definitely recommend anyone slightly interested in a place like this come here as they will fully enjoy. We did not reside here but if their hotel accommodations are on par with their dining accommodations, you will get what you pay for and then some.“
