Restaurants in Watkins Glen

“My husband and I drove an hour and a half for our anniversary dinner and the food was excellent. The service? Not so much. The pad Thai with mock duck was our favorite, the golden bags were also super good. Our waitress never asked if we wanted drinks other than water, we asked. Never asked if we wanted appetizers. The gentleman that ran food seemed to be working very hard, but he brought my husband’s entree out five minutes before mine. No one ever checked in with us. Had to ask for the check. Again, the food was great, and we’d come back again, but wouldn’t make the trip just for it again. As someone in the customer service industry for many years, I get being busy or overwhelmed or whatever, it just wasn’t the best experience.”

“Great food and service. I was excited to see they served locally distilled liquors, too. Check out their menu online which shows highlighted food sensitivities for ease of ordering safe food options!”

The prices were surprisingly low for the amount of alcohol they gove ya!!! I recommend the specialty drinks. Everyone there made us feel so welcome and we danced and sang the night away!!! Thanks for a wonderful night!!!”

“Today I was really in the mood for swamp fries. So I packed the family and headed out to prisebox. we got there and the owner handed my daughter the pad of paper to take orders and had her right it down and the prices and then add the total up. This is fantastic in my eyes and the whole crew of people are always so friendly and caring. I love going and eating there when we can. I highly recommend the Prisebox where your prise is in the box as they say on their sign. Keep up the great work and will be back again soon. God bless you all”

“5 Stars – Beautiful, Delicious, and Perfectly Customized! Sugar Mountain Bakery’s dessert cups were a decadent highlight of our Spring Fundraiser! Each one was delicious, beautifully presented, and tailored perfectly to our event. The team was flexible, creative, and a joy to work with. Highly recommend for any occasion that calls for something sweet and memorable!”

“Visited for a quick bite to eat before heading back on the road after watching the IMSA race in June. We wanted something quick but somewhere with a nicer dining room, as we drove multiple cars and wanted to dine together. The restaurant was very busy considering the occasion, and the staff was very friendly and efficient despite being slammed. The food was excellent and came out fresh and cooked to perfection. They have a large condiment bar that offers tons of sauces to try with your meal! All in all, a great fast food experience!”

“She really delicious food great service wonderful people very clean restaurant I give him a five star rating”

“We had an impromptu stay in Watkins Glen on our way home to NC. We absolutely loved the hospitality of the staff at Seneca Lodge. The room was quaint and clean. The food at the Lodge restaurant was amazing, both for supper and breakfast. Can't recommend the cinnamon raisin French toast enough! Our server, Joyce, was attentive and friendly. We will definitely be back!”

“We had a great time at the Lucky Hare last week. The staff made such an impression…so warm, friendly and fun! And the food was delicious! Trey makes phenomenal chili, and sent us home with some Manhattan clam chowder that was the best we’ve ever had! Can’t wait to visit again.”

“Awesome lunch, fries were delicious and a sweet treat at the end. Thanks Heather!

Update: we came back for dinner and had a lovely time. It’s a wonderful hotel and restaurant.”

“This is one of my top favorite bars ever. It's secluded & right on the lake. Food was great. The bar tender was alone and she gave an amazing service to a group of 35 people. They had a joke box and some fun games. The view was just perfect. Drinks, fun and games all night. Highly recommend it.”

“Their food is good, service is fast, and it’s pretty cheap! The cheese pizza and buffalo chicken pizza were both flavorful and good sized slices. They had two almost full cases of pizzas and calzones to choose slices from and we were served right away. Three slices and a drink came out to $14. The only minor complaint is that it’s a little too greasy, but nothing out of the ordinary for chain pizza.”

“Rather spartan room, but very clean. Manager was VERY helpful. Off season, but made sure heat worked, TV worked, and we had extra blankets. Emergency stop in the middle of an ice storm. What a lifesaver!”

“this guy Steven at Kookalaroc makes the best Philly I've ever had and its not even close! I will not be needing to look at the menu ever again. you could start a Cult with this Philly. get the philly”

“Great service and amazing, authentic food. My go-to is the chicken tacos. The soup of the week was chicken and potato and it was incredible. So glad this place is so close to home.”

“Great food and great service”
