Good amount of cheese, egg and sausage. Must try if they have it. Corned beef hash, I wouldn't get again. Average at best. Just seemed very dry and "crumbly" is the best that I can explain it.

We took our son for breakfast as he stayed with us overnight as he needed a break from the barracks at Dreamspark. He is 13 now and we are there not only last year,, but 12 years ago as well and it still hasn't changed. Very casual, just how I like it. Quarters are tight but enough room to be comfortable. Service was quick and friendly. I got the Georgia eggs which was on a biscuit with sausage gravy. A meal that will keep you full until dinner. I also got a side of corned beef hash. My son went with pancakes and eggs which he said was "good. " He is a child of very few words and would never survive on Yelp. The sausage gravy was very good. Eggs were cooked exactly how I ordered them (over easy). Corned beef hash was average. It's a must go to when in town. Soak it up and be a part of history. If you have to wait, be patient. It's worth it.

She offered to bring out a couple dipping sauces for our fries, and I asked for the bourbon jelly, which she was willing to do. That initial interaction set a great tone. The food itself was very good--both burgers were delicious. Unfortunately, after we placed our order, the service dropped off completely. We waited about an hour for our food, with no check-ins, no water refills, and no acknowledgment of the delay, even though our server walked past our table multiple times. At one point, I had to get up and find someone to talk to. I asked a man near the front for a manager, explained we had been waiting an hour, and pointed out our table. No one ever came over afterward to follow up. We were later told there was a large party, which is understandable--but that's not something customers or servers can control. A simple check-in or acknowledgment would have made a big difference. Instead, we were told we "should have said something," despite no one coming to the table. At the end, we waited again for the check, and when my daughter calmly tried to explain our frustration, the server spoke over her and said, "I'm almost 50--I've been doing this since I was 17," which came across as rude and unprofessional. The food was good, but the lack of communication, attentiveness, and management involvement made this a disappointing experience.

The store had lots of their local items to purchase. I picked up a pumpkin mix, sweet vadalia onion dressing. My husband and I got wine slushies (strawberry bliss & apple raspberry both delicious). We went outside and grab lunch ( Ray's brother BBQ didn't open until 4p). My husband got Jamaica jerk chicken sandwich and I got the hot pot roast with horseradish sauce. We made it a meal and upgraded to mac n cheese, drink and slice pie of choice( apple or strawberry rhubarb). The food was surprisingly good, my husband enjoyed his sandwich and my pot roast was flavorful before I put the horseradish on it. The Mac n cheese was good, made with their Mill-Aged, Extra-Sharp NYS Cheddar. Overall it was a decent find, not too much in the area. The store is worth it to stop in.

There is a bar as well as booth seating but no direction or indication of waiting to be seated or seating yourself. I didn't want to go unnoticed so I sat at the bar. (Most of the tables are past the entry way and bar area). There was a family group, a few couples and a group of guys playing darts off to the side. I sat there for more than five minutes before I was even acknowledged. I know this because I could see the Guinness Countdown to St Patrick's Day (down to the second) from my seat. There were 3 girls behind the bar but one seemed to be doing most of the bar work. As I put on my jacket to leave, I finally had the attention of one of the girls so I decided to take my chances and stick with my dinner plan. She got me a menu and asked for my drink order. There weren't any hard ciders on tap but they did have canned Awestruck (local). I noticed the fried pickle appetizer and asked her about it. She told me they were spears and very popular. I decided to take her recommendation and ordered them, along with a Cooley's Handmade Burger with sautéed mushrooms and swiss cheese. My pickle fries came out first since they were an app and I can tell you two things about them...the portion was huge and they were absolutely the best I've ever had! Not long afterward, my burger arrived and that was really tasty as well. I opted to bring the rest of my pickles home and I can tell you that even the next day, with the help of the air fryer, they were still tasting great! I am so glad I stayed!

Nothing says autumn like a "Frozen Mango Breeze" while watching your breath fog up indoors. The soundtrack was off-brand Doors covers featuring an enthusiastic bongo player who was clearly paid by the beat. The volume fluctuated like the tavern's Wi-Fi signal -- one minute it was a whisper, the next it was like being trapped in a drum circle during a Jim Morrison séance. Inside the "non-smoking" bar, a delightful smoky haze drifted through the air thanks to the staff's decision to use the ashtray as a doorstop. It's like they wanted to recreate the authentic 1980s bowling alley experience. The single bathroom door doesn't lock, which adds a fun new twist to your visit -- the thrill of potentially making a new friend while washing your hands. After 25 minutes of waiting for our high-stakes order (boneless wings and a salad), our server cheerfully reported that it was "gettin' there." We decided our patience wasn't, so we paid for our drinks and told her our tip was gettin' there too. Five stars for unintentional comedy. One star for everything else.

I'll admit it, I was skeptical. We stopped in here for lunch after our second day at the Hall of Fame. We were seated immediately and had a drink order in before we were even settled. Wifey and I were really hungry so we may have overdone it a bit, but it was vacation! We ordered and Eel cucumber hand roll, Angel roll (spicy tuna and cucumber insider with eel and avocado on top), Mt Fuji roll (shrimp tempura and cucumber inside with spicy Kanu on top), Cooperstown roll (shrimp tempura cucumber spicy tuna on top), an Alaska Roll (salmon cucumber avocado), Vegetable tempura, and Wasabi Shumai - pork dumplings. Or service was great because they didn't just dump a pile of sushi on our table...they brought the food in stages which made for pleasant surprises with each stop. While we were here at lunchtime they only seemed to be offering sushi and the appetizers. The only negative I can provide was that it was a rainy humid day so the floor in this place was a bit slippery. Other than that I'd come back in a heartbeat.
