I was over my friend's house at Watkins Gleb figuring out what to eat at 8pm. My friend recommended…read morethis place and said it was bar food. My first reaction was: "bar food?!?!?!" Usually bar food is terrible. But she said this place actually makes great food. And I said OK, I'll give it a try. My friend's go-to order is Philly cheesesteak, so I ordered the same thing on a wrap. The sandwiches and wraps comes with chips and they add an extra charge if you substitute it for fries or onion rings. My friend's husband got the deal for a delmonico steak and 2 sides for $19. We also got chicken fingers and fries for her kids. We called in the order, and they said it would be about an hour. Which is fine since we were in no rush and they were probably busy. The food was ready when we went to pick it up an hour later. Our whole order came to around $66 with tip. The food was hot and came in these Styrofoam boxes. There was a very large generous portion of chicken tenders, and the fries looked good. The Philly cheesesteak looked interesting as they used ground beef instead of thinly sliced steak. The onion rings were huge, and the chips looked like fresh kettle cooked chips. The Philly cheesesteak tasted ok, I think it's better than a sandwich rather than a wrap. I only ate half but was still very full. The onion rings were very crispy, and tangy sauce that came with the onion rings reminds me of the Burger King onion ring sauce but better. It was pretty good. We ordered the delmonico steak with fries and Mac & cheese. The Mac & cheese was really good, it tasted fresh, and was made with sharp cheddar cheese, and it was really melty. The chicken tenders were amazing. I haven't had chicken tenders this good in years. They were not dry at all, and were flavorful. The only downside is my friend says sometimes depending on the chef, the food might not be that good. But it seems like for now if you go on a Saturday night you'll have amazing food!

I'm not a prude and love dive bars, but the banter back and forth with customers at the bar was easily overheard at the tables and the number of F-bombs being dropped set the tone for the establishment. Unfortunately we did not stay after our first appetizer was served. We ordered the pierogies to start and drinks. The pierogies were small, hard, and were obviously freezer burned before being tossed in the fryer. After being served these we decided it would be best to head to a different establishment for dinner and to watch the game.

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.

There were 6 of us for dinner tonight and everyone raved about the food. Personally, I ordered a special consisting of a lobster/seafood roll. Roll was stuffed with fresh lobster and shrimp. The icing on the cake was when Loraine (owner) came to speak to me about their fresh seafood and how they prepare it. Blew me away! It's rare that an owner is on site, but when they take the time to spend a few minutes with a guest makes a huge difference. If you are a visitor to Watkins Glen or a local like me, you won't want to miss Kookalaroc's!!

We discussed what I wanted and then she recommended local wines to pair with my meal. Everything here is farm-to-table and the quality of the ingredients are what stood out in this experience. I started off with an order of the house sourdough bread. Nothing fancy, but everything I wanted. For an appetizer, I ordered the PEI Muscles as recommended by my waitress. These were Prince Edward Island mussels, cilantro and garlic in a red curry cream sauce served with warm baguettes. This was incredible. The flavors, the sauce, the crispy bread, it all went so well together. For my main I ordered the Duck Margaret. Dry rubbed duck breast, rosemary polenta, asparagus, pickled celeriac, and a side of ancho chili sauce. This dish was on their specials menu for the day however I have seen it listed on their website previously. The duck was tender and juicy, the asparagus cooked to perfection, and the polenta took this dish over the top. For me, I was not loving the ancho chili sauce, so I was very thankful to have this on the side. Graft is currently rated a 9.9 on my Beli and this is all thanks to their excellent service and the fresh high quality ingredients they use to prepare their food.

Didn't mind too much because we didn't have to be anywhere though so enjoyed savoring our drinks and people watching since we were on the sidewalk. Perfect fall night for just that. For cocktails, we got the Lakewood sparkling And a glass of red wine. The sparkling went great with the Mussels we got for our appetizer. Also enjoyed our entrées of Halibut and Chicken. The halibut was definitely better and more interesting. The chicken was fine just not as much flavor. Probably wouldn't order it again.

Right at the base of Seneca Lake, they have beautiful views of the lake (especially from their outside seating). The atmosphere is comfortable and casual, and the service was great. We enjoyed our beers (they had plenty to choose from), and the food menu is great. Unfortunately, they were out of a few things on the menu (the first beer I ordered and the salmon belly BLT), but we really enjoyed the shrimp burger (shrimp patty with lettuce, tomato, sliced avocado, and Thai chili guava jam on a brioche bun) and some wontons filled with cheese, chicken, spinach, and artichoke (I can't find them on their online menu, so can't remember what they were called). I really appreciated that they had some traditional brewery pub dishes with some less expected, fun (and seafood) dishes as well! With plenty of parking by the restaurant, this spot was a great choice for our lunch in Watkins Glen.
