He was very unattentive Never got a refill - after an hour and 15 minutes of waiting for a meal ( smash burger) our food was delivered to us cold All the waiter had to say was that he was sorry for the wait They were not that busy to justify how long it took The ambience of the place is nice The service is very lacking And the food is below average

Once for a bonfire! Lol It's a local thing. They have a wonderful casual deck. I love sitting out there. On this last visit, we skipped the beers, and went straight for Babe's burgers. They are stationed on the deck. I ordered their burger with carmelized onions, tomatoes, and lettuce. Pickle on the side. The tomato was a farm fresh Tomato which is AWESOME! It was a local farm grown tomato, and the burger was delish. We ordered a small fries, and 3 of us shared them, and still threw some out. Yes, a small is that large. They don't sell drinks at the babes burger window. We got those at the bar. They had a free water jug, with plastic cups. I ordered a Waterloo sparking water, one friend had regular water, and the last had a soda. Because the owner makes their own beer there. I highly recommend checking them out, for beers and burgers. We didn't order any this time, because we were getting ready to go on a long drive. But....Since I live there, I can confirm their beer is worth it! I love their casual atmosphere, it's a great place to go to talk and dine. It's a local place, so it wouldn't be awkward to see go there and run into friends and start combining tables. Everyone is super friendly, so if you're ever lonely or bored, it's a great place to stop by, and hang out, you're almost guaranteed to make new friends. Parking can be tricky if they are busy, but people park on the street as long as they don't block any cars from getting by. I also love that they allow dogs, on leash, and they can't beg. Common sense rules, so don't leave your dog at home. Bring them out!

There is good music playing and the bartenders are amazing. Very friendly, good humored, and very knowledgeable not only about the drinks/booze, but about the surrounding area.  The menu is a leather bound book containing pages of bourbons from hard to find to every day favorites. In addition to the bourbons they also have a nice selection of Tequila, vodka, scotch and wines.  They also have an amazing craft cocktail list. Every drink we've sampled from the list has been amazing and reflects positively on the talent of the bartenders.  These are truly craft cocktails that are perfectly balanced and flavorful.  If you are looking for a place to relax and have amazing drinks, 29 Neat is the best place around.

The place has an extensive menu and even beer on tap. We did not order food because we had just eaten a large dinner. They have a wide variety of bourbons at different price ranges and their menu cocktails are reasonably priced. Go there now if you want a great experience in Watkins Glen.

We went on a Thursday night and as one would expect, it wasn't all too busy in the early evening. The brewery is located in a refurbished barn, and there's plenty of space inside and out. We had pretty much any choice of seating and started with their Festbier & Altbier. For food we shared their Bavarian Pretzel Bites, Pork Schnitzel & their Beer Brat. All of it was excellent - days later and we're still talking about their coleslaw. In a world where breweries have opted for serving pizza, it was a fun change to have German food. If it was closer to where we lived, we'd definitely go back! I'd love to try their smoke brisket sandwich.

For the dinner, we had scallops for appetitizer, seared salmon, fish tacos and chicken parmesan. For dessert, we had bread pudding and cheesecake. All delicious and cooked to perfection.

I don't even know where to begin, this place was excellent. When planning our trip to Seneca Lake,…read moreSmoking Petes was the one restaurant that came up time and time again. It's a fan favorite on Reddit, and our hotel recommended the restaurant as well. When you drive past, there's always a parking lot full of cars for good reason. When you enter Smokin Petes, you place your order and they give you a pager. You can sit at the bar, there's plenty of indoor seating, but I definitely recommend taking advantage of their outdoor seating if the weather permits. Just based on the vibes indoors and out, you know you're in for a treat. Considering it was a Friday, the line to order and amount of cars coming in and out of the lot, our food was ready surprisingly quickly. For a starter we order wings in Alabama white. For our entrees we ordered their two meat combos, both opting for their brisket and ribs. For our sides we tried their mac & cheese, coleslaw, tater tots & garlic parmesan salt potatoes. Everything was excellent. The meat was cooked to perfection - the seasoning. On the ribs had a nice kick. The sides were fresh and definitely not diet friendly. The portions were decent, and we ended up taking home leftovers that made their way back to Long Island. By far one of the best, casual, places I've gone to eat.

The kids tried broccoli salad had a nice flavor but I had mostly the hard parts and not much the flurets. Mac and cheese was good, salt potatoes are assume. My husband liked the slaw, thou he likes it with pineapple. He was not overly thrilled with mac salad. Drinks I tried were the blueberry smash. Very tasty. Not that thrilled with the peach drink that was 25 dollars. But I drank it. Tastes more like a Ice tea drink. Service is good. They take your order at the bar with a designated area to wait in line. Give you a buzzer to pick it up at the window. They have a condiment area to get soda, utensils, sauce sides and so on. They have seating inside and out side. You can play with games they have set up. Inside it decorated with old and new signage. They have a book of bourbon selection. Bar stools chairs and tables,booths and high top tables. People clean up after themselves. Kid friendly. People are friendly. Most of the times we went they were busy or at least a steady flow of customers. If you get a chance to stop here to eat you will not ve disappointed!!

This was our first time to The Nest. We were interested in checking out their outdoor concert…read morearea. We arrived just as a local band was getting ready for a three hour set (4-7pm) on a Sunday afternoon. Cover charge was $5.00 each. There were quite a few people there, but there was still room to sit in the spacious outdoor deck/stage area. There's also an outside bar area to grab a drink, instead of having to run inside to the regular bar. Food was available, but we did not try anything. The indoor vathrooms were pretty small, but served the purpose. The music was very good, the sound was loud enough, without blaring out of the speakers. There's a roof over the outside deck, but it's in different sections, so the sun does shine though in areas, making it a little hot when it's hitting you. Our only complaint would be the amount of people that were smoking. There is no way to get away from the cigarette smoke wafting in your face. Other than that, it seems like a great venue to enjoy some live music, a drink and a bite to eat. We definitely plan on going back.

I ponder the menu, it's a decent sized menu, with a good amount of items I decided to go for my old standby, the poutine. I put in my order, and he brings it back quick. It was a decent portion. The fries were well seasoned, crispy on the outside, yet tender on the inside. They were very good. The gravy. Was just the right texture. Not too thin, and not too thick. It was a good quality gravy. It had a deep rich flavor. The one problem, is that there was a very small amount of the cheese curds. They were basically not even the full cheese curds, just little chunks here and there. What cheese curd I got was good, there just was hardly any of it. Let's face it. Poutine without cheese curds is just "gravy fries." Even though there was hardly any of the cheese, curds, overall, it was still a good meal. I left stuffed. Poutine and a soda, the price was reasonable. I would like to try some of the other items on the menu. Thanks.
