12 Best American Restaurants in Watkins Glen

“The staff was professional. First time dining here on 10-11-2025 very relaxing and quiet! People were respectful and it was quiet. We loved it! Usually you go out and it’s loud and rowdy but this place is Exceptional! The food was very delicious! I’ve never had strawberry champagne vinaigrette on my salad which went great with the cheese! 😋“

“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!“

“We stopped here for morning donuts before going to the park. I consider myself quite the donut connoisseur and boy oh boy these babies did not disappoint! Some of the best around! We are from Ohio and we will definitely be back the next time we come to New York.❤❤❤🍩🍩🍩“

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!“
