We have always had great meals at the Tavern in the past. This time we noticed the portions were much smaller for the same price. The beef on weck was on a small bun and the large wedge salad was not large at all. I was also disappointed that the chop salad was no longer on the menu. Why the changes? If it isn’t broken don’t fix it.

STEALING AND DECEITFUL BUSINESS PRACTICES.. Added a drink on my tab, when I ordered food to go and 1 drink. No apology at all. They then charged me what I was supposed to be charged before they even refunded my other monies. WATCH YOUR BILL

The service was great but we were VERY disappointed that our $16 boozy milkshake didn’t taste boozy at all, all the toppings on it were very bland, & the friggin cup was HALF FILLED WITH WHIPPED CREAM AT THE BOTTOM 😤

Very disappointed in the establishment..they have this huge menu and a bout 5 gluten friendly options. A $20 burger that was under cooked and fries were cold. Service was not great either. If you have food allergies don't bother not worth the $$$

On 10/09, I visited Upstate Tavern with three family members, and we had a wonderful time! I would like to acknowledge our server, Armin, for his outstanding service and his excellent recommendation of the Steak Frites. To the rest of the team, thank you for preparing our meals and drinks perfectly! We also greatly appreciate the gluten-free options on the menu—a family member with a gluten allergy ordered and enjoyed the New York Maple Glazed Salmon without any issues.

Overpriced and underwhelmed…those boozy shakes sound and look so good and are so tempting but at $16 each with very little milkshake and a whole lot of whipped cream, beware! Only a third of the glass was milkshake, the rest was whipped cream. The chocolate with sprinkles on the glass is hard chocolate and couldn’t even be chiseled off with a fork or knife to enjoy so it went to waste. The embellishments are a nice touch and are all edible but the Oreos were stale.
The Tavern burger is $22 and it comes with fries. The fries were good (nice and crispy) but the burger was dry. It cost us $78 (with tip) for two burgers and one milkshake. We each had water. The ambience is nice but the food is not very good. You are better off going to the buffet just down the stairs for the same price and it is much more satisfying. Do better Upstate Tavern!

Upstate Tavern is always our go-to for food and drinks! We usually go on a Saturday during lunch and request Sonya as a server. She is also the bartender and always provides amazing service. She is very friendly, quick, efficient and makes great drinks. My boyfriend has celiac and she is very good at making recommendations for GF items he can eat. Sonya is one of the reasons we keep coming back!!
We were at Turning Stone for a concert and decided to dine here. And so glad we did. Everything about our experience was top notch. We selected this option because it looked fun and we weren't in the mood for anything fancy. There was a wait, about an hour, to get a table. The gentleman who took our information was welcoming and knowledgeable. They texted us when our table was ready and the same gentleman quickly seated us. This establishment has a fun and warm atmosphere, a sports bar feel. But we felt it was nicer than your typical sports bar. And I will say this very clearly: loved how clean this place was. That says a lot about a place, and, sadly, these days you don't always get that everywhere. Our server was excellent! She left us waiting for nothing! And, again, we appreciated that because great service is not that common these days. But our server was on it. Her recommendations were great, she knew the specials well and was able to offer informed opinions.
The food: we started with the poutine as an appetizer and it was delicious! The portion was so generous that we probably could have just had that as our meal. For our main selections, my wife had the Cobb Salad and I had the Shaved Beef on Weck. Both were excellent, both were very generous portions. We would have loved dessert, because the ones we saw other diners enjoying looked great, but we were full.
Something that really stood out: towards the end of our meal, a well dressed gentleman approached us and politely asked how everything was. I'm assuming he was the manager. We told him we were pleased with everything and he thanked us. Now, we really appreciated that, because that doesn't happen at most other establishments. That is a sign that a place really cares about, and works hard to please, its customers.
To sum up: this place is great, delivered in all the ways we value, and is fairly priced to boot! Highly recommend!
