This Restaurant has comfortable seating and a pleasant atmosphere. The South wall of mostly windows, overlooks the golf course. The restaurant is carpeted, with plush furniture, inviting diners to enjoy intimate conversation; a rare dining pleasure in many restaurants these days. I don't recommend the Thai noodles (don't get this), but I highly recommend the chicken piccata. It's fabulous! Unfortunately it's not on the menu every day. The French onion soup and shrimp tacos are also very good. Especially when they have the Thai chili sauce version. I will be back for the chicken piccata! But unless they put it on the menu I'll need to call ahead first to find out if it's featured as a special. I will also be back for the comfortable enjoyable atmosphere. read more

County Seat Restaurant & Lounge - Golf course view from my table - American Near Me - Canton, New York

Unfortunately, during our visit to this area our last meal was here and compared to everything else we had it just did not really impress us. Now compared to many places this general area does not have world class dining so comparing quality needs to be factored in. It also needs to be said that this is a hotel restaurant so if you are staying here and don't want to leave for a meal then give it a try. I can only speak to breakfast, maybe they are far better for lunch or dinner. The inside is kinda what you expect from an outdated hotel restaurant and could use some sprucing up. The highlight of the overall vibe is the window view of the golf course. Staff was friendly but speed wise of how long our food took was extremely slow especially considering so few tables were taken the day we went. Lastly, the food was forgettable and breakfast wise would be a skip if you were to ask me. Menu is also quite small and limited, look elsewhere before deciding to dine here. read more

Food was very good for takeout, but hard to stomach a $56.64 bill for this meal. They need to update their website with current menu items as well as pricing, keep in mind they add a 10% service gratuity to take away orders as of recently. Overall meal was good, but there are plenty of other places local where one can eat for much less. Can't speak for the ambience other than it being in a hotel and looking like it could use a refresh. read more

We didn't stay at the Best Western, but we met with some family in the area for a breakfast. They easily accommodated our group of around 12. We sat with a nice view of the golf course. The staff was prompt and friendly, the inside needed a bit of cleaning (especially the windows), but overall it wasn't terrible. We all ordered breakfast, I went with - The North Country - two eggs any style | home fries | choice of meat and toast $9 - Had my eggs over easy with bacon. It was your regular average breakfast. Nothing bad, just simple. Others in our party had French Toast and Pancakes. My boys each had the Kids Pancake which is in the shape of Mickey Mouse (one larger round for the face and two smaller for the ears) with chocolate chips. The coffee was ok. One note their menu says they proudly serve Sweeter Creations Maple Syrup from nearby Waddington, NY. I thought that was pretty cool! Another note - make sure you ask for Buffalo sauce if you want it with your eggs instead of hot sauce. They brought me Texas Pete, meanwhile a family member asked for Buffalo and got much better sauce! There isn't much else in town breakfast wise and for bigger groups so this isn't a bad choice. read more

McKenzie was the best bartender ever . Food was always good. Spent 6 months here in the last 2 years and have never had a single complain. Highly recommend read more

Have been going here for five years through business travel and it has its ups and downs. Food used to be great and good quantity and bar was same now, not so. When I get there from hard days work, I like to go and drink and eat, so I'm not that picky, last few visits were not good at all, so so service and average at best food. They used to have popcorn who was nice with a couple of cold beers, that's gone, really in my opinion, they need new mgmt. new menu. It's convenient because of hotel but that's it, sorry, I want to continue going there but you pushing me away, and I leave the restaurant, I'm not going to hotel either read more

I have been to this restaurant several times over the years and found it good, this time, however, it was not. We were seated quickly as they were not busy at all. Upon being seated the waitress asked if we wanted water and drinks. I replied water and a Coke/Pepsi. The water arrived but the beverage never came. About 15 minutes later our order was taken. I ordered a French Dip with Au jus and a salad with ranch dressing while my wife ordered clam chowder and a Caesar salad. The waitress asked if we would like our salads first. We said, "yes." Forty-five minutes later our entire order arrived. Well, minus salad dressing, Au jus and a spoon for my wife's soup. After this was rectified we did not see our waitress again until the bill was handed to me. The salads were adequate. The soup was a strange mixture with a heavy dose of potatoes. My French Dip had soggy bread, more than likely microwaved with over cooked beef. All in all a sub par experience. read more

Staff were super friendly. Food was ok. Restaurant very outdated. Convenient if your staying at Best Western. read more

I didn't even get a chance to try this place. As I walked into the room, I was abruptly met by someone saying "you guys can just go to the Lounge. I can't take anymore." Mind you, he only had 3 tables currently, one was leaving, and we were far from coming in close to close. I walked to the lounge, and there was more than double the tables filled, with 1 bartender running the show. Dude was a jerk. Business should know he's dragging things down. read more

I had the Turkey maple something sandwich and it was good, but the bread to turkey ratio was way off. The bread was great, there was just a lot of it. Beer battered fries were fantastic and so were the mozzarella sticks. read more

Covid compliant. I apologize ahead of time for the half eaten photos, but the food was that good. Our group also had chicken Caesar salad, bbq wings and butternut maple turkey sandwich. All were devoured. The only drawback was the very under whelming French onion soup. It did not have much taste or onions. Also had breakfast in morning. It was good but nothing special. read more

Had lunch here. The place was clean and very friendly staff. The salad bar was very small. The price was okay but could have had some more fixin's. Friend had a burger and loved it. read more

Just buy a block of salt and lick the block of salt until you die. You'll essentially experience the same quality of food but save yourself the time and money wasted here. There's nothing worse than a cheap hotel trying to pass itself off as dining superior to fast food chains. read more

Was in town for business and stayed at the Best Western and was happy to see that they had an attached restaurant and bar. I tried lunch and dinner. Lunch was chicken tenders and tater tots. They were my favorite kind of chicken tenders so I appreciated the flavor. The presentation was in one of those appetizer cone things and I wish it would have been on a plate because they needed to be cut; the way it was served I could only use my fingers until I asked for a plate. For dinner I had a pepper jack burger and it had good flavor. Because it was a long day, I tried the Irish Cream Cheescake and it was delicious! Best part of both meals! Prices were good, service was good, would come back read more

County Seat Restaurant & Lounge - Irish Cream Cheesecake was delicious! - American Near Me - Canton, New York

0 star. My husband and I have gone here many times. However the last fee times it has gotten worse and more expensive with a very limited menu. I was bot feeling great and wanted just a grilled cheese sandwich and a cup of soup. My husband ordered buffalo chicken tenders and salad bar. I need up with a $9.35 grilled cheese and a $6 cup of soup. Our bill was $48!!!!! I am still not sure how or why it was so much, when we asked the waitress she did not have an answer. She offered no help and I felt she was rude. I'm sorry but my business will go else where.... I had to select 1 star because it made me. read more

I was brought here by a local who talked it up as the best restaurant in the planet. I ordered a burger, it was actually good and then I washed them down with some sweet potato fries. I know that isn't much to go on, but based on this experience for lunch, I would go back the next time I find myself in the area. It was clean and the staff was friendly, only thing is the air conditioner was on "meat locker" setting. read more

I've had pretty good meals in town on previous visits, but it was cold enough that I decided it was worth staying at the hotel and giving County Seat Restaurant a try. I wish I'd looked at the other Yelp reviews before making my decision, as I definitely wish I'd gone somewhere else. I trusted the waitress to let me know what was good, and ordered the dish she recommended the most, a salmon dish with a honey glaze. The salmon was a poorly cooked, previously frozen filet of sub-par quality. I wasn't expecting fresh or amazingly cooked, but I was still let down. The mashed potatoes it was served on were bland, instant mashed potatoes that I wouldn't expect anywhere but the cheapest of buffets. The honey glaze was overly sweet, and the vegetables were previously frozen, but tasted fine. I also chose soup instead of salad after being told the soup was freshly made in the kitchen. It was acceptable. Not something I'd ever want to order again, but one of the better parts of the meal. I was also served two warmed slices of white bread with margarine. I asked if they had butter, but they did not, and I wasn't that interested in filling up on slices of bread anyway, so I didn't eat more than a few bites of one slice. The other item, other than the soup, that was reasonable was the order of onion petals, which I actually enjoyed. They are the main reason for two stars. The waitress, on one of her few visits to my booth, asked how things were, and I told her my honest opinion. She said, "Oh, that's too bad," as if she's used to the feedback and didn't offer to replace the potatoes or any other option to make the meal more palatable. After deciding I didn't want any more unappetizing fish or mashed potatoes, I did decide to give the desert menu a try, as I wanted to at least leave the restaurant full. I ordered the chocolate cake which was overpoweringly sweet, dry and had hard icing. Again, very disappointing and I ate less than half. During all of this, the restaurant had only a handful of tables that were full, yet my glass of iced tea spent more time empty than full. You can eat here if you need to, but I would highly recommend locals and visitors take their business elsewhere. read more

Just ate there for dinner and I'm not happy. Just because I am the only customer doesn't mean I want to hear the employees conversations. I have heard them yelling at each other from across the room, swearing, and talking about things that should be mentioned off the clock. Waste of money and my time and the management probably wouldn't care if I complained to them. read more

Had breakfast twice and room service for dinner while I was staying at the Best Western. The host and servers were all very helpful and professional. I had the veggie eggs Benedict and it was amazing! The basil hollandaise was phenomenal, eggs poached perfectly, and the avocado adds to the creamy flavors of the dish. The homemade veggie burger was very generous and well flavored. Small setting but nice decor. read more

Service was quick enough but the food is nothing special. What really bothered me was the flies constantly buzzing around our food, even landing on it! Totally unsanitary on my opinion. read more

I can't believe that the first review I read here mentions flies!! We had two meals here, solid "ugh" For a university town, it's completely devoid of restaurants, it's almost spooky. Anyway, as the poster below indicated...the place is SWARMING with FLIES! it's comically disgusting! If you're there in the morning, with sunlight spilling in through the dirty windows, you can make out hundreds of flies buzzing around inside the restaurant. I hope my kid gets into a better school so I'm not obligated to spend a dozen nights a year at this hotel/restaurant. read more

The North Country Breakfast was tepid at best ( not much heat left in content). Bacon was over cooked, home fries contained mainly snipped end cuts of potatoes, and the "homemade toast" was out of a Mrs. Friehofer (or similar brand) bag. The waitress was very accommodating and cordial. BUT that does not cover up a very disappointing meal for the 5 of us. read more

I brought my 6 year old autistic son to this venue last night for dinner. It is a quiet, comfy place to go for a good meal. Sports on the TVs if you want to watch the game. Good drink specials. I got a buffalo shrimp flatbread that was pretty tasty and a cobb salad with avocado and house made blue cheese dressing. The kids menu was pretty standard, although my son thought that the "Peanut Butter and Jelly Panini" was fun! He stuck with the cheeseburger and tater tots (which came in a little "fry basket"-super cute! He called it the tater tot jail!) hahaha. Service was quick. My water stayed refilled (and I drink fast) and my son's lemonade stayed refilled as well. My son said "I like Mikayla!" (And so did I). She was very professional, professionally dressed, and kind. The restaurant was clean and there was a small sitting area in front of a fireplace that my son and I enjoyed after our dinner. There is a bar for folks wanting to meet friends for drinks after work. Thank you County Seat Restaurant and Mikayla for a wonderful dinner experience. :) read more

Ate here because staying at hotel and too late for anywhere else. Scallops were tasty but served atop bland spaghetti and the side of clam chowder was more water than anything else. BTW, hotel is pretty sketchy. I'd suggest a B&B in town. read more

We were two for dinner and started with the spinach artichoke dip, it was delicious. Our main courses were the Thai chein chicken and the butternut chèvre with bow tie pasta. Both entrees were good, but the chicken was a little too hot, for our taste. The Chef, Kevin, came out and gave us lots of detailed information on the menu especially the entrees. The personal attention was very nice. Our server Erica was wonderful, she was prompt, attentive and helpful. We highly recommend the County Seat Restaurant and Lounge. read more

Noon reservations were made for the three of us at the county seat restaurant for the Thanksgiving Buffet. Big disappointment and yes a waste of money. The two tossed green salad bins were near empty. Prime rib was sliced in 2X4 pieces, well done, not the medium rare that was requested and so tough, it could not be chewed. The turkey was bland and dried out. Fisherman scampi was devoid of any flavor and so far everything was either cold or luke warm. No sign of the seafood newburgh that was advertised on the menu. Mashed potatoes were a hit or miss. frozen squash,,runny and devoid of any taste. Desserts were frozen and also lacked any flavour. Our service was sporadic. As we left the lobby, there were several attendants standing around, but not one soul asked about our dining experience. I give it a one star, only because the coffee was good and hot. Sad isn't it?

We had been long time customers and obviously locals. It's been very disappointing since management changed. We have not returned since March. The meal was horrible. All the burgers were well over cooked to the point if no real taste. Furthermore, the bartender was flat out rude. The majority of the clientele were hockey fans watching hockey playoffs. The channel on the main TV kept being changed off the game. We requested it be changed back to the game (that all the patrons were watching) and we were told by the bartender that HE wanted to watch the basketball game. Our bill surpassed $100.00; for bad food and a punk bartender. Our waiter attempted to accommodate us and was very apologetic. Our complaints expressed to the manager have gone without response. Later we have learned this bartender is a friend of the manager. We have gone from frequent loyal costumers to not having returned with no intention of doing so. read more
