    The Stage Area
    Carol L.

    We really enjoyed our first visit- watching a local band play here. Beautiful woodwork throughout the place and stage. Good acoustics, not too horribly loud for a four piece band. We're good friends with the bass player. Normally we have our open mic night on Thursdays but needed a couple of days off to recuperate after the holidays. So this was a treat. Nice setting a inside and out . We were welcomed in by a friendly guest. Tables were left with drinks on them for too long. It didn't seem to be overly busy.

    Bar setup. Good local beer on tap...great selection

    Came here after backpacking, it was delicious…read more Food: the sandwiches were amazing and worth every penny. The turkey with apple and bacon was amazing. The schnitzel sandwich was also very good. The fries, at $8 as a side were not worth it, I would have rather ordered another sandwich than got two sides of fries. The chips were also almost flavorless, except that of 99% fresh oil. The kids grilled cheese was American cheese, and thus, imho, was not very good. One of my kids took a bite and didn't like it either. Ambiance: simple, nice view of the lake. Service: friendly staff. Tl;DR: I'll be back, but won't order sides or the grilled cheese.

    Grabbed lunch here after a hike. They have a great selection of sandwiches and some salads as well…read moreas and a good amount of seating inside and out back. You order your food and pay at the counter and then they call your name and you go to pick up the order at the window when it's ready. Food took longer than we expected to come out, but they were fairly busy when we dined in. I ordered the veggie panini (sans goat cheese) and my husband went for the muffalini with a side of sweet potato fries. The veggie panini was excellent - I especially enjoyed the housemade olive salad! My husband thought the muffalini was delicious too. The sweet potato fries were good, but not really worth the fairly exorbitant upcharge. A can of pop was $3+ as well. Overall the food was great but it felt like the extras were overpriced. That said, I would definitely go back for a sandwich. Thank you, The Elf in the Oak!

    Okay so I've been here a few times, and honestly I should stop more often because I live rather…read moreclose. They have what is in my opinion a better donut than Dunkin donuts down the road. (I'm still partial to Krispy Kreme however that's quite a drive from here.). The place is rather large, the dining area indoors looks like it's good for at least 30 people anyways and then the outdoor porch weather permitting is probably good for another 20. I arrived about 15 minutes after they opened and the line was forming pretty quickly however it also moved along pretty quickly. The person that takes your order is not the same person that gets your donuts and puts them in the box, so that seems to streamline things pretty well. There's a display up by the cash register with one of every donut that is currently being sold that morning/day so you can make your selection easier. The menu is a little more extensive than donuts, as they also have hoagies and shareables and of course coffee/ juices. For whatever reason, somebody decided to put donuts with beer... Yeah I don't know... But, if the mood strikes you they have a very fine selection that they rotate from time to time of draft beer. It's a pour your own kind of a thing and they also sell growlers. There's of course t-shirts and other random souvenirs that not only have the company logo/wording but Owego in general. Bottom of mind this place is definitely worth a visit.
