12 Best American Restaurants in Watkins Glen

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

“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.❤❤❤🍩🍩🍩“

“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!“

“Sat on the covered patio with a light rain, So we were hooked early on, although it was still a tough decision, considering the interior was very cozy, and there was a excellent hostess that greeted us on 8/7/26… Cesar was good bang bang shrimp maybe a little over breaded than I would desire, porterhouse had interesting flavor, thinner cut than desired but I’ll give this place five stars thanks to our server Damon… too many young kids, lack personality and engagement but Damon had the perfect amount of tact & engagement and was witty… we are staying at the Watkins Glen Harbor Hotel as well, which is great location, clean nice place expensive but worth it.“

“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“

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

“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“

“Had the pleasure of speaking and meeting with Marian to help launch my 🚤 for a week vacation up on Seneca Lake. Gary worked the docks and was instrumental in helping me to launch my boat safely without a scratch. Wonderful people, and a nice little area to hang out there with the Lucky Hare Brewery 🍺 right there as well. Would 100% recommend this spot!“

“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!“
