Definitely will come back. Place was hopping but we didn't have to wait, food was really quick to come out too! Only negative which I've seen other reviewers mention ... was the drinks. (I'd suggest ordering your drink in a bottle, or bringing a drink from home...) our drinks tasted really awful. (Soda, water; etc) we narrowed it down that we think it was the ice. I wonder if the ice machine needs a cleaning. Something was not right about it. We ended up ordering bottled root-beers for $4 each because we couldn't drink the water. I won't give it a less rating for this- just something to note. Definitely will come again!

While we waited, we grabbed drinks at the bar. I had the spicy jalapeño marg, which was solid. For appetizers, we got the deviled eggs and a sample of the macaroni salad. The deviled eggs were so good, I was shocked. For dinner, we had catfish, brisket, turkey collard greens, mac & cheese, jerk wings, and cornbread. The greens, catfish, and wings were fantastic. I was extremely impressed. The brisket was a little tough, but that wasn't a deal breaker. We grabbed the cheesecake for dessert, and enjoyed every bite. The service was great, and the food was delicious!

It looked like they only had two waitresses to cover all of the tables. The food is typically diner selections you'd find outside of NJ.

We made the mistake of sitting at a table near the right entrance as every time someone opened the door, we were hit with the chilly air from outside.

I stop here whenever I'm in upstate NY to pick up bottles of this scrumptious sauce to bring home. This trip, I was delighted to find they had deep-sixed the "meh" buffet & now offered a full menu, including appetizers & desserts. A half chicken dinner ($19) includes their salad bar, a loaf of their homemade bread & one side. If you're not into chicken, which is what they're known for, they also offer ribs, brisket & other charbroiled meats. The salad bar had a good selection & everything tasted fresh & crisp. Their bread loaf is soft, white & served warm with whipped butter. We also ordered an appetizer of hush puppies, which were delicious with the whipped cinnamon butter that came with them. I chose baked beans for my side dish. Tasty & a good complement to the chicken. The chicken... perfectly charred, smoky, tender... wow!!! So delicious. Now for the weird part... we had leftovers & asked for take away containers. Our server brought us each a plastic box for the chicken. I asked for a small covered cup to take the rest of the beans & was told they don't give those out in the dining room. That was part of the meal I was paying for, so I asked her to please ask management if I could have a container. She came back with one but said, "We made an exception this time, but don't let it happen again." What?!? If it hadn't been for this, I would have rated it 5 stars.

Will definitely be back to try their other menu items.

We were in Oneonta for a week for Cooperstown All-Star Village tournament. We attempted to go here 3 times. Twice, we drove up and it was totally empty even though their hours said they were open online. When we came up, they were closed for a reservation. Once, we got in line and waited for 30 minutes and the line moved about 10ft total. We were still 20ft from the window. This is not a joke. If you want to try it, I would suggest checking their social media or calling in advance. There is no real schedule during baseball season and it can be an extremely frustrating experience. Good luck!

We started with an order of hush puppies and fried green tomatoes. The hush puppies were delicious, and the cinnamon sauce it came with was the star of the show. We weren't huge on the fried green tomatoes; I think it needed a little more seasoning. My friend got the Alabama chicken sandwich and enjoyed it. I got the pulled pork plate with salt potatoes and mac and cheese. I thought the pork was good, but the sides were great! I liked that the sauces were on the table so I could sample several of them (I ended up liking the Texas sauce best). We ended the night saying we'd love to come back on a night with live music!
