    This is definitely one of my favorite places to stop at when I'm in Watkins Glen. Their breakfast specials are perfect and they come with a lot of food. The service is always great and food comes out quick. It is cash only but they have an atm at the front.

    Eggs and home fries
    Sharma J.

    Really good food. The staff were kind and friendly. The biscuit and gravy looked heavy but was very light and tasted great. The pancakes were nice and fluffy and you can't really go wrong with over easy eggs and home fries. The place itself needs some updating and tidying a little. But not too bad overall.

    Breakfast

    Been coming here for years during hunting seasons. The food is amazing. Service is great and the staff are always so nice. Its Very clean including the restrooms. I order The rubbish its a lot of food which I can never finish but has a little bit of everything. Eggs, potatoes, sausage, bacon, sausage gravy and hollandaise sauce with a side of toast or English muffin. Definitely a great place to enjoy great food. Always such a pleasure.

    This was a great little diner to grab inexpensive (like, less than $10 for an entree) food in an area where most things are touristy and expensive! It has a nice local feel and the service was great. Our waitress was exceptionally nice and patient with a large group sitting next to us. I got the liver and onions and bacon, with home fries. It was the best liver I've ever had. Yum! Portion sizes and large and they have a huge menu. Lots of sandwiches, burgers, dinners, a nice little salad bar that was very fresh. I'm glad we chose this place over a more touristy location in Watkins Glen. It's only about 3 minutes down the road from the state park.

    Ambiance is quaint with old diner charm. Chocolate chip Pancakes, bacon, western omelet and hash browns were great tasting. Eggs Benedict was good. Waitress was friendly and service was quick. Price for a resort town were surprisingly cheap. Don't let the people outside fool you to think there is a long wait. The place is big inside and we got seated right away. Cheap; good eats - can't beat it while on vacation!

    Good diner food, fair price. Clean and easy to find. Friendly wait staff, a local gathering place. Friday fish fry is awesome.

    We went here breakfast. The food was below average. The home fries were just boiled potatoes cooked on the grill. Decor was average.

    We had excellent service here and a nice meal…read more We chose: - Butternut Squash Cream Soup - Strawberry Salad with Mandarin Orange and Salmon -Cobb Salad The bread bowl was stellar and the interior is nice and cozy. Some tables have water views. My friend has a soy allergy and our server was really good about checking items for her. That allergy can be tough.

    When we travel, we always treat ourselves to a 'fancy' dinner where we splurge a little bit more…read morethan we would normally. After a not so great experience at Sapalta, we were a bit rushed to find a place for dinner on a Saturday night, which is no easy feat on a summer night. Considering the yelp reviews missed the mark with Sapalta, we figured we'd take a chance on Blue Pointe Grille and as soon as we walked in, we knew we had made the right decision. Firstly the wait staff were so kind and attentive. I wish I knew the name of our waitress, but right away she made us feel welcomed. She started us off with a bread basket and we had a couple of cocktails. For an appetizer we tried the fried calamari, mainly because I'm a sucker for banana peppers (or cherry peppers) with calamari. The calamari came with a pepperoncini and caper lemon aioli, which it didn't need but it was a nice twist considering most places will serve calamari with marinara. For dinner we split a bottle of wine, and opted for their catfish special and their chargrilled frenched pork chop. I was advised that the pork chop was a large cut of meat and would take some time to cook through which was fine because we had opted to sit outside and were delighted to watch the sunset. The entrees were excellent, and came out quicker than we expected. Overall, we had a great experience. If you have the chance to sit out on their patio, I definitely recommend it as you'll get beautiful views of Seneca Lake, and the boats coming into dock. Afterwards, I recommend taking a stroll down the pier to take in the sights. I'm glad we ignored the yelp reviews and opted to dine at Blue Pointe Grille.
