Restaurants in Old Forge

“This place is absolutely incredible. From the atmosphere to the people inside - I can’t say enough positive things. Our bartender Roy and David were so incredibly welcoming and kind. We came from mass and drove about 4.5 hours - I can confidently say I would make that drive JUST to come here again. Please make sure to make this part of your stay - this place is so cozy, intimate, and full of wonderful conversations. The pups are a HUGE PLUS. My new favorite spot. Thank you Roy and David ”

“I own the properties in the area and just discovered the Dog House last summer.I stop there everytime I drive from Rochester to Inlet. While up in Inlet have lunch there most of the time. Great owner and great food.”

“Mountainside catered our wedding and they did a wonderful job! Brian was easy to work with, he made sure everything was made on time and that we had enough food for everyone. He communicated with me by phone and e-mail leading up to the big day. Everyone loved the food and we highly recommend Mountainside!”

“Best bar in OF by miles. Good selection of beer, great drinks and fun bartenders. Want to watch a game--they'll have it on. Want popcorn with your beer--they got you. Want to tip one with your friends or a stranger--check. Or sit outside at a table or Ride the Pine.”

“My daughter and I stopped in, for the 1st time, Saturday 3/16/2024 for lunch before going to the View Art Center. We had driven a long distance and were ready for lunch. We had deliciously grilled burgers with nice crispy potatoes wedges, a hot cup of tea and an ice tea. The waitress (I didn't get her name, long light brown hair, neatly tied back, pleasant smile) was quick in greeting us, was pleasant serving us & asking us how everything was.The diner was so nicely kept. The menu variety was terrific & atmosphere friendly. What a nice experience.I wish everyone a Blessed day!”

“During my summer visits through Old Forge I would pass this funky little restaurant called Toka Bocca. Each pass I would be going on their webpage to checkout their eclectic menu. Their menu is a fun read with unique food options names such as "Everyday I'm Trufflin'", "Bong Bong Shrimp" and "Dazed and Confused Sliders" As you can see these names and the vibe of the restaurant has a THC/cannabis theme. Please don't take this place as a dispensary or stoner hangout. Other than the punny names and chill aesthetic there is NO CBC,THC or cannabis in the actual menu items. My wife and I finally made the stop and we were so happy we did! As soon as we walked in we were welcomed by one of the waitstaff who asked if we would like to sit inside or in their side patio. We chose an inside booth. They also had high top tables and chairs along with normal sized tables throughout the smallish sized restaurant which offered a bit more warmth and intimacy than a bigger restaurant with more table selection. The menu is pretty extensive. Entrées ranger from Tacos, burritos, flatbreads, sliders, pasta, rice bowls along with chicken and tuna dishes. Though much is on the menu, I can assure you that everything is freshly prepared and cooked in house while the taste and presentation was spot on. My wife and I decided to order something completely different than what we do after an exhausting but rewarding Adirondack hike. We decided on tacos! I am a HUGE pork belly fan so I opted for the Notorious P.I.G Taco. The pork belly had some crispness along with its flavorful, tender meat. The cucumber and pineapple added a delicious lightness to each bite. Their Tokabocca sauce did not overpower the taco but was more of a compliment. The highlight was definitely the pork belly! My wife enjoyed her chicken tacos as well. I had a couple bites and the chicken was marinated well and cooked perfect. Their Mexican crème was such a delightful topping along with the fresh pico de gallo. The chicken and toppings were between both between hard taco shell and an outer soft shell. This actually made the taco a bit more easier to eat without it falling apart everywhere! I also recommend ordering one of their appetizers. We ordered the Cat Cow. It was fantastic! Fried cauliflower and Brussel sprouts tossed in their Tokabocca sauce, cotija and green onions. Toka Bocca has now become my number one restaurant in the Old Forge region of the Adirondacks. Their menu is mouthwatering and service was attentive. Toka Bocca is actually a newer restaurant to its sister Toka Bocca in Herkimer, NY. Though I haven't visited the Herkimer location the menus are similar with a slight difference in some extra options in Herkimer. We will definitely be back next spring and throughout the summer when are ADK trips take us to or through Old Forge.”

“Stopped in for lunch, best cole slaw I've had in a while. Service was excellent, friendly wait staff. If you're in Old Forge, definitely stop in, you won't be disappointed.”

“⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️ We’ve been a few times since Julian and Kendall took over. WOW! Top notch service and the food is to die for. Good job guys! Julian and kitchen crew- if you keep that quality (I know you will) there will be a line out the door for the next 30 years. Can’t wait to come back!!!!!!”

“This is a must stop while your in the Eagle Bay area of the Adirondacks, plus a great space upstairs for the kids to play and relax while you have a drink and some great food.”

“Most other joints were closed on a Sunday afternoon in the winter, and we’re glad we stumbled upon this cozy place! We had fish and chip and their cheese curds. Fresh, hot out of the fryer, and delicious!”

“Update, returned in 2023 on a Saturday evening for their prime rib, mashed potatoes, green beans, and it was delicious. So glad...would definitely go again, but still wish they had the homemade turkey soup as an ”

“We always look forward to eating at Keyes every year. Friendly service, Best pancakes, and our granddaughter loved her teddy bear pancake made especially for her!”

“Friendly place. Decor is fitting. Bigger place than you think. Wings (buffalo mild) are excellent and not too spicy. Decent variety of brews. Learned something new, breweries in NY can have alcohol but they must be from NY. Cool. Saw a Bourbon Cream with root beer, said it tastes like a root beer float. Plenty of merch.”

“I just stopped here while waiting for my coffee from blue line not expecting much. There was a sign on the door that stated new management. Anyways, I got two cheese slices and was pleasantly surprised!! I personally don’t like my pizza too saucy and whatever recipe they use, I loved it! Was not overpowering. Very thin NYC style pizza. Not super well done which I prefer but I know NYC pizza lovers like that charred crust. 5 stars from me !”
