    In town staying at an air BnB for All Star Village Cooperstown. Needed to find a quick bite to eat…read morebefore I could check in at the air BnB. Sat at the bar - had a delicious watermelon, beet and feta salad. Citrus vinaigrette was delicious and just the right amount. Nice size salad as well. You could walk by and never really know it was there - but it is worth the visit. Easy parking behind the building in the city parking lot.

    So disappointed. I have been telling everyone that The Autumn has the best vegetarian food of any…read morerestaurant I've ever experienced since the early 1990's. The new owners have turned it into something totally different, as I discovered earlier this month. The only original menu item that has survived is the "famous" Hot Open Veggie, which is more or less the same except you can't add tofu or tempeh without paying for the full side order. Also, they ditched the amazing tofu marinade for... no marinade? It had no flavor, and the tempeh was cut into skinny triangles and all dried out. It used to come in cubes, and was an awesome addition to Hot Open Veggie. I couldn't eat it. Where is the tempeh burger? It used to be so delicious. I was going to come twice in one day to get both. I ended up leaving after my disappointing meal, the first one I've ever had at The Autumn. Can someone pay some attention to what has kept that place open for like forty years? I guess not.

    Brooks' BBQ chicken is some of the best I've ever had. It tastes very much like "Cornell chicken",…read morewhich has a vinegar based marinade & is very popular in the Ithaca/Lansing, NY area. 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.

    This place is huge and casual atmosphere. Great for big…read moregroups. Our service was slow. The salad was not monitored constantly. O had to ask whether it will be refilled or not and only then they hustled to fill it up.A lot of people then got up and got their all you can eat salad bar as part of your ordered meal. I ordered a salmon dish and it was dry. The mash potatoes that came with it were not very good.
