    The fun decor
    Bob K.

    I stopped in here with my sons during a trip to the MLB HOF. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place has the coolest vibe with a bunch of retro lunch boxes, diecast cars and tin posters amongst the neat decor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had the mushroom Swiss burger and onion rings. Thumbs up, good food and fast service.

    Yum those home made chips! Stellar sausage and peppers, tasty Chicken Cesar
    Caroline K.

    A real home run right outside of Cooperstown![[HIGHLIGHT]]Jerry's Place is a classic roadside restaurant, with great service, bright decor, delicious burgers, fries, grilled chicken sandwiches, sausage and peppers, and veggie burgers (hard to find in the menu) and the best Hershey's ice cream (which locals know isn't made by the chocolate company).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I feel instantly happy whenever I drop by Jerry's. It's probably the lunch boxes bringing back childhood memories. I bet kids will remember visiting Jerry's always. They always have a blast there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Nice little place had a burger with fries well done they were excellent and a caramel shake my friend got a banana split would definitely go back can't wait till they reopen. I wish the burgers were a little thicker. I just found this place at the end of the season wish I knew about it in May.

    Overall it was ok. We came here over Memorial Day Weekend while visiting Cooperstown and expected…read moreit to be packed, but it was a little dead inside. The whole bar area was closed and they only had one small section of tables open. No kids menu but luckily my son is ten and was able to polish off a regular sized burger. The smoked brisket sandwich was pretty good, and my girlfriend enjoyed her Mac and cheese with brisket. Both decent but nothing to rave about. The beer selection was rough. Almost no local beers available, no prices listed, no indication if a beer was available on draft or in cans/bottles. I was surprised that with a world class brewery right in their backyard (Ommegang) they only had one beer from them available, and it was a can pour. Prices are on the higher end as well. $15 for a plain hamburger with fries and $16 for plain Mac and cheese before you add any toppings. It was a decent dinner, but if we are ever in the area again we would probably seek out other options before coming back here.

    I'm not sure why Rusty Bison doesn't have better reviews because their BBQ was excellent,…read moreespecially considering the local options. I ordered the brisket plate, and it was delicious tender, flavorful, and with a perfect bark. We also tried the smoked brisket ravioli, which were more like gyoza but absolutely fantastic nonetheless! The fried pickles were homemade and deliciously crisp. Plus, they have ice-cold beer to top it all off. Honestly, what's not to like? Highly recommended!

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.

We arrived before our reservation, and they were unable to seat us much earlier (they did though, we just waited, no problem) and they turned people away, so definitely get a reservation. Inside there is a nice few of the lake. Service was really great. Because we were there at the start of dinner, we had to wait a bit for the bread, but it was worth the wait. Both the soft roll and the fruity bread were so tasty, and the salty butter spread nicely on them. I had the prime rib, which was tender and flavorful, paired with asparagus and a baked potato. He had a NY strip. Both were perfectly cooked. We were so full and satisfied at the end of the meal that we didn't have room for dessert, but we loved the food so much. It's also pretty reasonably-priced for a nice restaurant. Highly recommend!

    This review probably shouldn't be a solid 5 stars but you have to grade on a curve, because who…read morewould expect Indian food this good in a place like Cooperstown? So much Indian food outside major metropolitan centers in the US is either terribly underflavored, in a sad attempt to level down to provincial palates, or by contrast overspiced, in the equally ridiculous assumption that you convey authenticity via sheer capsicum, that one approaches a place like this warily. And yet what you have here is delicately-calibrated sauces, food in which you can actually taste individual seasonings and savor their interactions, the way it's supposed to be! Samosas are fresh, crunchy crispy crust rather than the doughy glop for which we so frequently settle, and rice is perfectly fluffy. Lunch servings are just the right size - not the gargantuan american portions that let you know how dubious is the quality of the meat (margins can only be maintained on those stupid portion sizes by sacrificing quality). I won't say this place would get 5 stars in London or Chicago but it's well worth your time if you're in Cooperstown instead.
