Kookalaroc's Bar and Grill

Let me start by saying I never leave negative reviews. Ever. But we waited over an hour for food and it was pretty dead. We had to go to the bar to get drinks because our server would disappear. They must use their fryer for seafood and regular food items together because everything tasted like fish. It really made me nauseous. There was 6 of us and not one of us loved our meals. Really disappointed with the fact that most of the food was left on our plate and when she asked if we liked it we told her no and she didn’t bother comping our meal or offering something else. Its a great location itself with potential but the food was terrible and service was terrible.😞

Fun atmosphere, unique decor. The staff and owner are friendly. We stop whenever traveling through the Glen, and it's always enjoyable. $9.00 for a Hendricks and tonic is a bit pricey though.

Great service , engaging employees , good atmosphere. But… very high prices for what you get . I probably would go back but just for drinks , food is way too much . I’m a local and this is probably the most expensive place right in town considering what you get .

This place was very fun, and very busy today for football Sunday. Unfortunately the amount of food you get for the price is pretty wild, prices are quite high and portions are limited. We enjoyed the food, nonetheless .

Had Alfredo. Ick. Was not good at all for the price they charged. Was like Alfredo from a jar watered down. No seasoning, just bland. Three of us had it none liked it. Tried to pay at the bar only to be told very rudely after standing there for five minutes they can't take payments only the waitress can. Also wait staff need to ask with a large group if it is separate checks. Don't assume it is all on one like our waitress did then she had to go back and split it up. unfortunately we won't be going back.

Cool place but they don’t have vegetarian options except for their $18 spaghetti plate which was box pasta and jar sauce that was not good at all. Besides that everyone else seemed to like their burger.

Out in wine country and needed a place to stop and watch the Bills game. We were nervous about the reviews but decided to give it a try. We cannot express how much of a great time we had. We sat at the bar and enjoyed the food and the drinks. The bartender was great as well. We will definitely come back the next time we are in the area.

It looks like a nice place

Had a great stop in at Kookalaroc's. We were quickly seated for lunch and there is a great beer selection. Everyone at the table thoroughly enjoyed their food and portions were right on. Will definitely be back the next time we come through Watkins Glen!

I am angry with myself for not sending the food back the moment it arrived. Shrimp Po Boy was 4 tiny freezer burned shrimp on a pita with inedible tomato and a pile of lettuce. Chips were stale. $19 for something that cost the kitchen maybe $2 and it was disgusting. Friend Calamari must have been in the freezer for a year before hitting the deep fryer. Also spongy and stale and inedible with old jarred tomato sauce as a dip. $16.
Me and my friend couldn’t eat it and we couldn’t believe we tried to. Again, angry with myself for not sending it back. Kitchen should be embarrassed and servers should be mortified.
How anyone has any self respect serving that and calling it food is beyond me.
