Restaurants in Watkins Glen

“Absolutely delightful! The vegan options bring more focus to the flavors of the dish. We cannot wait to go here again. The pineapple curry was fantastic and Elephant Summer Rolls perfect too!”

“Really enjoyed our stay! Clean, well-kept, up-to-date rooms were very comfortable and private. We enjoyed our breakfast as well. Dog friendly is a huge plus. highly recommend and we will definitely be back!”

“Bar tender was amazing! Outworked the lazy, clueless bartenders next door!”

“This place is the Cheers of Watkins Glen.
Clean, well established, dive bar. Burger was great! Wings were ok too. The rockstar bar tender, Taylor, runs the full bar herself. Had a great night, hanging out and talking to people. Just an FYI, cash only!”

“Friendly staff, Ian was very personable and friendly. He made us feel welcomed. The cheese selection from local cheese farms were plentiful. Definitely a destination stop.”

“By chance we parked in front of the Micro Diner in Watkins Glen, NY…the Worlds Smallest Diner!! My husband, whose favorite vice is a cheeseburger said…I need one of those!! ? A $3 cheeseburger with pickles and fried onions. How can you beat that!!? And…it was D-LISH-OUS!!! The owner was a sweet man who clearly knows his way around a small…very small- grill! As tiny as it is…you may miss it. DON’T!! Enjoy!”

“There is so much more we could recommend. We have eaten here several times and we’ve not been disappointed! But something that touched us just yesterday, 2/2/25, was our waiter Shawn! We took our daughter, who has special needs, to Jerlando’s for lunch and Shawn was amazing. Not only was he an excellent waiter, but our daughter wanted a hug and Shawn never skipped a beat and leaned right in and let our daughter hug him!! His kindness toward her touched our hearts deeply! Thank you Jerlando’s for another fine meal and thank you so much Shawn for your extremely friendly attitude and your heart touching kindness to our special girl!”

“Good pricing, calm atmosphere, reasonable service, nice folks to talk to.
I had the 1/4 cheeseburger and it was excellent.

“Visited this restaurant on a whim based on reviews last night after hiking Watkins Glen State Park. IT WAS PHENOMENAL!!!! My husband had the duck and I had the trout. We split the mussels and green salad. The wine the beer everything was fantastic and the staff is very attentive. Definitely going back again!!!!”

“Great freshly roasted beans. Clean. Great service. Check out lunch specials, tend to be delicious.”

“Whenever they’re doing pizza and I’m back in town I always try to get a slice!”

“I've been wanting to stop and try out this local spot but haven't taken the opportunity until today. Storm was so inviting, kind, and comfortable to talk to. I was ordering to-go and was really focused on one of their advertised beverages. Storm helped me choose the peppermint frappe with chocolate added. Delicious! She also made me a tuna melt that was fresh and delicious as well. I will definitely be stopping again to try more of their caffinated drinks! Thank you for being so sweet Storm, and I hope your family & you have a Merry Christmas!🎄”

“Kendra is Greta to work with! She makes your vision come to life. Her work is beautiful and tastes amazing! Our daughter absolutely loved her birthday cake and we will certainly use Kendra in the future ☺️”

“Have visited too many times to count since its opening and have been so happy with their delicious, fairly priced food and great customer service. Just stopped in a few days ago and had the chance to try their Seneca Fries— don’t miss those! Or their rotating seasonal cocktails. Family friendly and beautiful views!”

“"Surprisingly good chicken burgers at an affordable price. Their value deal with 2 burgers for 6 dollars is cheap. The staff member was very friendly and accommodating."”

“We have been planning a trip to Watkins Glen to ride the Catharine Valley Trail and came across this Facebook page. I knew it would be the perfect reward at the end of our ride, and I was not wrong. I had the daily special: a GIANT juicy burger with cheese, melt in your mouth PULLED PORK and zippy jalapenos. A+! Hubby had the PULLED CHICKEN sandwich with the amazingly salty and delicious French fries. Just the right amount of sauce, A+ again! Mac salad was delicious and I don't want to diminish the mains, but the CORN SALAD is something you should NOT skip. Suffice it to say I drank the last few drops of dressing from the cup at the end. GREAT RECIPE! As I contemplated death on the final hill back to the campground, I was completely satisfied to have had Prisebox BBQ for my last meal. Highly recommend! A++++”

“Simply the best. We've stayed at Seneca Lodge for the Annual Vintage event for over a decade. We've been very happy with them.”

“The only game in town for atmosphere and food. Probably marking the food harshly but the swordfish was hugely overcooked and my dinner was cold. The food on a less crowded Sunday was far better. Lots of high tops outside looking at the lake with multiple firepits. Like everything in WG, they are short of help so things can be slow.
They do mean well. Compared to what else is on offer around town, Blue Point is the best I have found. Be prepared to pay up.

Wheelchair accessibility: Fully compliant”

“Excellent service from the nice bartender with green hair and green glasses. she is such a a nice and fun lady, the view is gorgeous and right by the lake so it's a little cooler down there.”

“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.”

“We didn’t stay here but my wife and I got ice cream one afternoon during our trip to Watkins Glen. It is a great place to get good homemade ice cream! Way better than the Ben & Jerry’s that is nearby. Skip the national name brand and get this ice cream. You won’t regret it!”

“Service is excellent and very friendly staff”

“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.”

“What a great place! Live music and indoor or outdoor dining! Was in town so stopped by to see a friend. Had heard a lot of buzz about it. It did disappoint!! Was impressed by the atmosphere and music (Brian Hughes). Received great friendly service as well. Wonderful to see local musicians supported like they are here! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 stars”
