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.”

“My wife and I had a great meal and our server, Christina, was also great.”

“Good bbq”

“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!”

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

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

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

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 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 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 like Arby's and we're pleasantly surprised Watkins Glen had one while we in the area. We dined in and had the latest promotion of 5he box meal and it was very good. The service was very friendly and quick with the food being hot and fresh. We liked!”

“A favorite spot for my brother and I. We drove by after 9 tonight and the owner turned the lights back on and made sure we got our ice cream fix. 10/10 recommend. Good ice cream and even better people. And a fraction of the cost compared to other places.”

“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”

“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.”

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

“Delicious, soft wood fired pizza! Not over cooked or dried out. The fresh mozzarella is very tasty as well. Reasonable prices and friendly cook. We went July 4, 2026 and appreciated sitting under the large tree for shade.”

“Great place! Not much parking, but the atmosphere makes up for it. Food was really good; recommend the pulled pork sandwich. They have slushies, wine, and a nice selection of beer on tap. Views of the lake are incredible and the service is spectacular! Wonderful bartender!”

“Fantastic location in what seemed like a really good resort hotel. We sat outside and could see the Seneca Lake marina and park. Food was good, above average. Service was friendly and prompt.”

“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.”

“Great food and great service”

“I've been eating here for years and it was good. A couple weeks ago the new HUNG let me down. They tried using vegetable oil or something. Tonight I gave it another chance and it's the best beef and broccoli I've ever had. No doubt. The velvetting on the meat was fantastic!”

“We got milkshakes here. Excellent, they make their own ice cream. It was worth the $10 they charged for each one. They also have off street parking which is a huge plus in Watkins Glen.”

“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”
