Good food, nice staff, and a cool old building. Great selection of beers on tap. Would recommend the fish tacos.
Kevlar was a fun, creative bartender. I was there solo and he got all the patrons interacting and having a great time.
Great salad and burger spot right on a main street in Watkins Glen. It was perfect for lunch. Good food and attentive service.
Very chill vibe. We sat in the window and enjoyed watching the passersby. Nice sized garden salad. We both ordered the Rachel. Tasty but the a little too much bread to filling ratio. Our waiter was very nice when something spilled...no big deal. Yeah, we'd go back! Keep up the good work!
Six of us visited on a Saturday evening with reservations. We were seated immediately and our drink order was taken. They have their list of beers on a chalkboard on the wall. I ordered a dish called Chicken Tanga and it was delicious! It had rice, chicken, black beans, chipotle ranch dressing, kale, tortilla chips (and maybe a few other ingredients that I'm having trouble recalling). Everyone at the table commented on how good it looked and our server said it was his favorite thing on the menu. My husband enjoyed his burger and our friends were happy with their food as well. The wings were good, just your basic buffalo sauce. Two of the couples we were with ordered the poutine (French fries, a ton of gravy and cheese curds) - one couple devoured it and the other didn't care too much for it - so it depends on your taste, I guess. Overall, I would visit again when in the area.
