Restaurants in Watkins Glen

“This is a really good BBQ place right in Watkins Glen. It has an old garage atmosphere. The place is well done and clean. The food is outstanding. We enjoyed our meal here and highly recommend the place.”

“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.”

“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”

“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!”

Highly recommend for any occasion that calls for something sweet and memorable!”

“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!!!!”

“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!”

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

“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!”

“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.”

“I’m in the area for NASCAR weekend and I just wanted to give you guys a shout out because that was quite literally the best Arby’s sandwich I ever had! And I thought all the ladies working were all so friendly and nice! Thank you guys so much!!”

“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.”

“This was the perfect quick lunch stop after visiting Watkins Glen. You can wait for the wood fired pizza under the shade of a nice tree on the stone patio. Service was great and the sparkling lemonade is highly recommended on a warm day.”

“Service was excellent, staff was very nice and took their time, not rushing us. Their recommendations were all winners. All the food came perfect. I had the crab soup and seared Ahi,, both were fresh and tasty. Nice outside seating overlooking the harbor”
