Came through town on a Monday on a cycling trip and this spot was right up the street from our…read morehotel. Cozy little dive bar with some food options. We were thrilled! Unfortunately, the drinks were extremely over-priced. After paying $9 per drink for a captain coke and a vodka soda, (most expensive drinks we found all the way from Cleveland to Lake Placid) we hit the c-store and sat at the hotel instead. Steer clear unless you like to overpay.

We were traveling through the area on the way to Cooperstown and stopped in Little Falls (where my…read moregrandparents used to live). I had always been scared to go to the Happen Inn, as it's in the basement and one can't see much of it from the street. There aren't a lot of options in Little Falls, so we decided to take a chance and are thrilled that we did. The staff was really friendly and the other people in the bar didn't stare at us (like some local people do). There's a pool table and lots of tv's. It's light enough to not be sketchy, but not too bright. There was also jukebox music playing, but it wasn't so loud that we couldn't hear ourselves talk. They have lots of beer options and cheap prices. The food was also delicious (if cooked on a visible, greasy stove) and inexpensive. We had a steak quesadilla that easily weighed five pounds, full of cheese, steak, fresh mushrooms and griled onions, and a thick burger, topped with onion petals, cheese and sauce. They have daily specials and an interesting bar top. If you have to be in Little Falls, this is the place to go.

The main thing to remember here is don't sit outside if you can help it…read more When we got there, there were just a few seats at the counter. It was a nice day so we chose one of the two outside tables. It was about 10:15 when we placed our order. We got our drinks reasonably quick. They came by to refresh coffee once. And then we didn't see them for about a half hour. I'm sure it was busy and they're a small staff. But we were sitting outside feeling neglected. Meanwhile I'm certain everyone inside got what they were needing. I believe it was a case of out of sight, out of mind. Close to 11 I got up from my seat and went inside to inquire. The exact answer I got from one of the waitstaff was "We'll bring it out when it's ready." Not one acknowledgment of the wait. Not even one apology for the wait. I'd say the total wait was 50 minutes. We got our food about 10 minutes after that. Perhaps they got the hint. And then we finally got some attention to our drinks. But yet again, not one acknowledgement of the wait. Now the saving grace. The food we got was actually excellent. I enjoyed my breakfast sandwich. Everyone was happy with their food. Yet again I had to go inside just to ask for the bill. I didn't even get a "how was everything?" Maybe they were afraid to ask? Let me be clear. I understand waiting for food. I understand the kitchen may be busy. I'm not unreasonable. But feeling neglected should never happen. They seemed nice enough and I don't think they did it on purpose. I honestly believe that once you sit outside here you become out of sight, out of mind. You become the last priority and everyone inside gets their undivided attention. If I'm ever back in town I would come back because the food was that good. But I know where I'm sitting next time.

Little falls has a breakfast place. Small cute little place. Not impressed at all. Not thinking…read morethat it's the goal to impress people though. Locals mostly I believe. If I was to rename this gem, I would rename it " The Wait and See ". Wait to sit. Wait for to place your order. Wait and wait for your food. Then wait and wait for your drink. Then see if they bring you something to drink. Hopefully you'll get it before or with your breakfast so you don't have to dry throat your meal. I wasn't that fortunate. Asked twice even. Anyway , I'm sure it was just this one time. I'm not sure if I want to wait 2 hours to have the same experience again. Good luck to you or hopefully you already had/ have a better experience.

First off, I love pizza. Good pizza especially, but I can tolerate almost any pizza. This is…read moreliterally the worst pizza in the area. I couldn't eat it. Threw it in the garbage after giving the dogs the cheese. If Ed's and Mangia are a 5 star (which they are) then this is a negative one star, literally below the pizza at the Walmart in Herkimer. The dough is crap. Why can't they use a good 00 pizza flour like Ed's uses? The cheese - that has to be the driest cheese I've ever tried to eat. The toppings we bad. The sausage - we also got a sausage grinder. No way thats real meat. Freeze dried crumples ARE NOT Italian sausage. How is this place even in business? Are the patrons people who've never had pizza in NYC, Chicago, Detroit, New Haven, or Italy? Just horrible. Save your money. Buy a Totinos for 2 bucks at Hannaford before you try to choke down this excuse for pizza.

Green Acres looked perfect at 40mph so I pulled in for a late lunch on a Friday, somewhat surprised by the mostly full parking lot. Upstate NY hamburgers are strange, in that they usually come AB - Absolutely Bare - without tomato, onion, ketchup, or any other condiment, vegetable, or accessory. Maybe a pickle or two. This always catches me when I order, so be sure to specify your hammie when you order here. Besides this minor hiccup, my burger and fries arrived, after a loooong enough delay to have been prepared fresh - but instead were victims of the warming bin. Cool-ish hamburger patty, served AB (see above) along with a scant order of not-fresh french fries along with a not-bottomless (but priced as-if) diet Pepsi. Service was indifferent, food average, upstate premium pricing fully engaged.

I am so impressed with the redo of all the service plazas making them a cool, comfortable place to rest and eat. They definitely stepped up the game by adding these new retaurants.. Chick Fil-A, Panera, Dunkin, Starbucks, Burger King and sometimes Asian and Popeyes. I am not sure that everyone realized that Chick Fil-A would be closed on Sundays. But there are still many options. There are many places to sit and relax with tables to eat and they even have a row of message chairs if you need one. The bathrooms were clean and roomy with plenty of stalls. I do not usually buy gas here but there are plenty of pumps to help move the cars along They now have charging stations which is really a plus. These new rest stops are a magnificent improvement of what we used to have along the Thruway. I am glad that their finally complete - big and bright.

When you're at a rest stop, the goal isn't to have something worth of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives…read more Plus, BK isn't known for having something deserving of a visit from Fieri. I was in the middle of an 8 hour road trip, and needed to put something in my stomach. Ordered a coffee with cream and sugar and and impossible egg and cheese. The impossible egg and cheese was nothing remarkable, yet solid. I didn't expect an artisan croissant, nor did I get one. Sandwich was fairly well put together, no complaints on that front. The coffee was an absolute disgrace. If there's something that goes well with road trips, it's caffeine, preferably in at least a moderately tasty suspension. To call this stuff coffee though is an insult to coffees in office break rooms across the country. It was brown water that alledgedly contains caffeine, and maybe the tiniest amount of bitterness and acidity so as to minimize complains about why they are serving water with food coloring. I know BK isn't an artisan cafe, though, at least getting basic coffee right for the massesses embarked on a road trip worthy of a rest stop shouldn't be this difficult.
