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.”

“I've been there twice, the last time we made a 200+ mile detour so we could have dinner at Nickel's Pit. That should tell you something about how good the food is!”

“Great, friendly service even though they were extremely busy. The food is the best of the best of Thai cuisine.”

“Our first time staying at the property. Check-in was super easy by text (since card was on file). We stayed in the stand-alone cabins which were awesome since we had a dog with us and planned to leave him in the cabin when we went to dinner, and he whines for a bit when left alone in a new place, so having a stand-alone cabin was helpful to not disturb other guests. The cabins were new, clean, nicely appointed, very comfortable bedding, good WiFi, easy parking right in front of the cabin, a full kitchenette. It was like a real one-bedroom house. Good location close to Watkins Glen and nearby wineries. Staff was very friendly. Will be happy to stay again in the future!”

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

“Great food, good service! Would definitely go back if I'm in the area!”

“The best wings in the area! a great local watering hole with a lot of small town charm. friendly patrons and staff make for a comfy atmosphere. highly recommend”

“Cozy, quaint little restaurant. My breakfast was great, and fast. The place is very clean. Atmosphere was a little simple but nice. Service was great, even the cook! Lotta locals here. Prices were good. This is our go-to when in town. Recommended.”

“One of our absolute favorite places!! Delicious food, HUGE portions,, reasonable prices, great service, very friendly staff.”

“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!”

“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”

“we popped in for some karokee on ours girls trip to Watkins Glen. the night was amazing and so much fun! The bartenders were fabulous and know how to make a drink! 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!!!”

“We tried the wings out and they are the best we have ever had! They make their own sauce and wings are huge. Very good prices! Our new go to place!”

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

“So good! Best food and coffee I’ve ever had. Great find!”

“New owners recently (local!), same great ice cream (Hershey's and their own). Highly recommend.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“We went early for Valentine's Day and thought we could get in. They were booked with no room. We understood and we're going to try somewhere else. They hostess said wait. Went and found a place to squeeze us in. So great. Best customer service I've ever experienced. The food was excellent and our server was very pleasant. Definitely would go back.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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 food and great service”

“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!”
