Restaurants in Watkins Glen

“Good bbq”

“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.”

“Orlando and staff provide outstanding food and service but they all make you feel like your part of their family.”

“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!”

“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.”

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

“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”

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

“Very cool bartender let my coworker and I inside a little early. He was very nice about us not realizing and then blew us out of the water with our drinks. I got the cosmopolitan, my friends got some different ones. It turned out wonderful. If you feel like getting a really good beverage”

“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!!!”

“My husband and I were there and stopped in for breakfast. Best egg sandwhich we ever had. It was the 3 H sandwhich. Ham , Havarti, and hollandaioli. The owner and his staff were very friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend The Franklin Street Market.”

“Working in the area on local sheriff's cars, was recommended highly by a few officers and they absolutely knew what they were talking about. Couldn't recommend more.”

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

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

“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.”

“Best Ice Cream in Watkins Glen !”

“Los desayunos 🍳 están súper con más de 65 años me aprecio súper bien contando los años que tiene este lugar wow fenomenal pedí jamón con huevo y queso y pan tostado súper rico”

“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!”

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

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

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

“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”

“Best bagels I've ever had! Every time I visit a new location I check out the local bagel places and this one is hands down the best. The customer service is also excellent! highly recommend”

“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.”

“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.”

“Uninhabitable. Whoever runs, or doesn't run the air conditioning, is an actual insane person. I should mention that I've been to this location multiple times and it's always an inferno; this is just one time they caught me in a bad mood. Food's fine; to Arby's standards.”

“Honestly one of my favorite restaurants / experiences anywhere. I’ve been here 3 times over the last 5 years and each time I’m there, the flavor of the pizza (especially the sauce and the slightly burnt ends of the crust) is amazing. I have a lot of love for this place. The vibe and location right next to Watkins Glen State Park is amazing. Thanks to the owners for creating this warm establishment.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“despite all the negative reviews, we had a great stay at the inn! our room was renovated and very clean with only a 5 min walk to the watkins glen park entrance! the ice cream was also yummy and you get a 25% discount if you’re staying at the inn. highly recommend staying here if you’re visiting the state park!”

“I ordered the shrimp with mixed vegetables which was a very generous portion. A friend ordered Mongolian Beef and said it was the best she'd had. Service was attentive. I liked that they had fortune cookies too”

“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”

“We had fun! Drinks were good and reasonably priced. Owner and bartender were very friendly. We will definitely be back next time we're in town!”
