It was a Monday and most restaurants around this beautiful rural area of Western New York were closed. The one place close to us was the Stockton Hotel, an historic roadhouse that's been around since 1899. The place was crowded with other guests also looking for an open restaurant. The food and service was good despite the crowd. We would certainly go back when we visit the area. read more

Today we went in for a late lunch and were the only table in the dining room, yet we still had a very disappointing experience. We all ordered appetizers, but it took about 20 minutes for everything to arrive because the dishes came out one at a time instead of together. The same issue happened with the salads and entrees -- no one at our table received their food at the same time. One couple ordered the beef on weck sandwiches. The beef was extremely dry and overcooked. Being from Buffalo, I know what a good beef on weck should be, and this definitely was not it. My wife ordered the scallop dinner, which came with only five very small scallops that were overcooked. I ordered the beef tips, and they were so overcooked they were almost like jerky. I sent them back, and while they did remake the dish, it took another 15 minutes. Because of the delay, everyone else at the table had already finished eating before my replacement meal arrived. Our server was around, but overall was not very attentive throughout the meal. read more

Terrible experience. Four of us sat down and ordered food and drinks. I ordered a water with my beer, it took the waitress 45 minutes to even remember after I asked her 3 separate times. I had to go to the bar myself for the water. We waited an hour and fifteen minutes and never got our food. We decided to pay for the drinks and leave. Service was terrible. Only exception was one woman I spoke with who was obviously running around busy taking care of her customers. I asked her about my order and she was kind but my patience had worn thin. read more

Not our first time here, came back cuz we knew it was good. Sat at the bar because we like the interaction with the staff. Saw a number of things that sounded good on the menu. House made chips, Onion rings and French onion soup originally caught my eye. Saw the people behind us get the mussels. We love mussels if they're done right. So I asked them if they liked them. They said they were outstanding. Would not have ordered otherwise. This is out in the country, what do they know about cooking mussels? Obviously, everything. These were the best damn mussels I've ever had! I've had them at Sunset Grill, I've had them at bonefish Grill, I've tried to make them at home... I'd come back here tomorrow to get the muscles again. They were made in a butter garlic sauce and let me tell you, so good! We actually even thought about taking an order home. We didn't get served silverware and we ate them right out of the shell scooping up the sauce and then dipping the garlic bread they were served with. Besides that, we ordered the blue cheese burger. Got that with the onion rings. The burger was really good, as well. They had two decent IPA's on draft. Full bar and restaurant. Clean bathrooms. The parking lot was full. Restaurant and bar hopping, but I don't think anyone waited more than ten minutes. Go get the mussels! Did I say they were good? No, wait...they were great. read more

first time here, had the filet tips and my husband had the prime rib! cooked perfect and amazing flavor! we'll be back. service was fantastic too read more

A woman at the Dollar General said the Stockton Inn was the place to go for dinner. Perhaps this was my first mistake. The person with me said the grilled haddock was good. But the Greek salad had brown lettuce and instead of tomatoes or cucumbers, had sliced banana peppers. I love peppers, but not pickled banana peppers. The service was adequate but far from friendly. The woman behind the bar was almost hostile. read more

My husband and I come here and the food and service is always. The atmosphere is welcoming and comforting like a warm hug. We always have a great experience with everyone and will continue to come back. Thank you very much for all your hard work and always making a great experience for people. You are all such an amazing group of people and you deserve a huge applause. read more

Best. Onion rings. Ever. Great beef on weck. Great service. Will go again. Wife says the cheeseburger was great and the "best hamburger bun". read more

Not gonna lie, we came here for the first time thinking it would be a little more upscale (I guess it was the name?). But, as soon as you walk in there are funny signs, Bills gear, and lots of camo, so we knew we had misjudged. Even though we were hoping for a mid-rare steak with some sort of bougie glaze, we were not disappointed. We sat at the bar and had a local wine. It was dry enough for us and pretty good. The wine choices weren't huge, but did the trick. Carla, the bartender was awesome and she and our fellow diners made the trip out there a top notch experience. We ordered the black and blue burger, mid rare. Let me tell you--it was the bougie bite we were hoping for! omg. The blue cheese was chosen perfectly--it melted and wasn't too bitter. The bun held it all together beautifully. But, the meat, woah. So freaking good. It had that nice char, juicy, cooked perfectly and just every bite had us ready for the next bite. I usually like fixin's and sauces but this burger didn't need a thing more than the perfectly seasoned meat, the cheese, and the bun. We'll be back for sure. read more

Sat at the bar with my wife and got some great food, cold drinks, and a damn good time. Bartender was super friendly and she chatted it up with us. Will be back next time I'm in town. Great spot. read more

Their sampler BOW and 5 chicken wing s is great. The second time I made sure to ask for the wings to be cooked crispy! Side salads are inexpensive and adequate enough to remedy guilt Sometimes there is live music in the bar The restaurant is loud when it is full. read more

The food was delicious with lots of options and fresh seasoned vegetables served with entrees. Great service and nice casual atmosphere.

My wife and I went there on a Sunday for lunch. When we arrived, the main dining area was closed but there were tables in the bar. The bartender was very polite and asked us what we wanted to drink. I ordered a Makers Old Fashioned, when she brought it over she was very adamant that I tasted it and made sure it was too my liking. She had used the bottom of the bottle and there was more than one shot of Bourbon in it. Before tasting it, I informed her that there's no such thing as too much bourbon. She smiled and laughed making me feel right at home. The drink was perfect. Both my wife and I had the hot roast beef sandwich. I have never had one when the bread was toasted, but it made the sandwich taste better by not getting all soggy. I had fries with gravy on them, they were ok but they were thin cut fries and they didn't hold up to the gravy it would have been better with steak fries. Overall, was a very good meal at a fair and decent price. We will have to try it at night sometime for dinner. We will be back!!! read more

This truly is my favorite place first the service is impeccable. I have been going here for 30+ years and I have never had a problem to service the bartenders brandy. Carla. Morgan hats off the food delicious the atmosphere and the people it's just a wonderful good aura. Cheers. Here's to the next 30 years thank you I'm on my way for dinner now read more

WNY sampler was excellent, service is outstanding Brandi is awesome will be back next time in Stockton

After living in the area my entire life, we finally had a chance to check this place out today. We ate in the bar area as it was only after 3:00, but they were serving pub food and the wings were on special for $.65. Sold! The service was friendly and the wings were done perfectly. If you're looking for humongous jumbo wings, one might be disappointed...but if you like crispy, medium sized wings (as I do), these wings are for you. I ordered one of the specials - black cherry whiskey and while I didn't really detect that in the flavor (more of a seasoned dry rub) a requested cup of hot sauce spiced them up nicely. Sig other got the Glazed Teriyaki and they honestly tasted better than mine! Looking forward to going back to try more flavors in the future. Couple that with a great selection of Southern Tier drafts and a handful of decent domestics/imports with a full bar, and you have a great combination that just works! read more

We got take out here twice this year when in Cassadaga- fresh and delicious! Salads are fresh and chicken fingers and chicken very good. Reasonable priced! read more

Great food, wonderful atmosphere, very good service... will return for more. I enjoyed the shrimp Alfredo and my friend enjoyed the prime rib. read more

I was not impressed with this place at all, but I shall return to ensure this first trip wasn't a "on-off"! We had heard good things about this place and it certainly was busy and reservations are best, but the staff has no real idea how to greet or take care of guests! I hope that they succeed in this business, but the really need to figure things out better! The bartender as always was great and the true asset here! read more

Thought we'd take a ride out here and have a drink and a snack. The bartender could not have been more unfriendly. When she finally acknowledged us, it was more of a grunt than a greeting. We ordered three appetizers, and although they had an empty dining room, after 45 minutes they were delivered cold. We watched her smoking a cigarette on the porch, presumably while our apps sat in the kitchen getting cold. We will never go back. read more

Every time I go here I leave very happy. I have had everything from burgers and wings to scallops and steak. The steak is always cooked perfect and everything has always been good. I do miss the steamed clams on the menu. I wish they would bring those back!!! The staff is always very friendly and we have never had to wait too little long. read more

Nice, friendly place. The dining rooms are small, but very clean and nicely decorated. Our waitress was very welcoming and attentive. The food was tasty, well proportioned, the fresh cut fries were excellent. The menu was varied with lots of choIces. The bar area was comfy with a nice selection of drink specials. The bartender was friendly and professional. read more

Fresh cut fries here were really good! Felt very bad for the one waitress who had to cover the whole restaurant and bar. She definitely needed back up. She did her best though, that's for sure! read more

First of all it is out in the boonies and the food and service is amazing - the vibe is totally positive. I am have yet to go there without having a great time. A lot of time the owners attitude is reflected in the staff and these must be amazing people. Food is great - people are civilized - service wonderful and bill is surprising on the light side. Go there and it will restore your faith there are still places to eat that aren't just assembly line freak shows. read more

I write this review with a heavy heart, as this was one of our favorite joints in recent years on the occasion that we got a night out. We haven't been in a while and our first visit back to the Stockton Grill was vastly disappointing. One of my other half's favorite dishes here was the blackened cod and mashed potatoes. This time around the fish almost tasted as if it had been reheated from a prior cooking. It was rubbery in that awful way fish gets when it is cooked more than once. The garlic mashed potatoes were a horrendous texture and tasted as if they had raw minced garlic in them. There is no way they were tasted before sending them out to the dining room. I ordered the scallops over wild mushroom risotto. The scallops were done well enough, but the risotto was bland and again tasted as if it had been made in advance and reheated. I know that some restaurants pre-cook the rice to speed up cooking time in the kitchen when firing dinner orders, but this tasted as if the whole side dish was made in an advance and reheated on the stove or in a microwave. We sat at the bar for our meal and the bar tender was great. He was attentive and knowledgable about his drink selections, from beer to bourbon. He is the reason they are getting 2 stars and not just one. read more

Love this place! My husband & I stopped in here late Saturday night on our way home from a wedding. We live about an hour away from where this wedding was and we needed a snack before making the long drive home. It was about 10:15pm when we drove by and noticed this nice restaurant on the corner! I turned the car around praying that they were still serving food!! When we walked in there were a few people at the bar and we asked is your kitchen still open? They kindly said yes but only a limited menu. No problem with us! I quickly looked and saw that they had a pulled pork sandwich on the menu and I didn't even think twice! I ordered that which came with fries and my husband ordered a dozen wings. Our food came our about 15 minutes later, which I was super happy about since I was pretty hungry! The pulled pork sandwich was seriously the BEST PULLED PORK I have EVER HAD! Huge pile of pork on a very soft roll! I topped it off with some additional bbq sauce...oooh finger licking good!! The fries were hot, homemade and fried just perfectly to have a little crunch on the outside and nice and soft centers, just the way I like them! The wings were hot, spicy & delicious too! The hot sauce was very tasty with just enough kick to it! After we finished eating, we moved up to the bar to pay our tab and ended up staying for a nightcap! Great service & everyone was so friendly!! We were so thankful that they made us food even when their kitchen was pretty much closed. We ended up meeting the owners, Jim & his wife too! You can tell that the owners take much pride in their food and service and it shows! If we live closer, we would be regulars here for sure! read more

OK I get it now food is absolutely out of this world I understand Steinberg get some extra bartenders it's the Stockton hotel you will be busy from now on we love this place it need two bartenders Fridays and Saturdays read more

Delicious lunch!! I loved my Reuben and my friends really enjoyed the Cuban, Roast Beef, and Burger. Great service too. Carla was great!

I have been stopping at this restaurant for 4 years in a row for opening day of hunting. I totally look forward to getting my burger. And this year didn't disappoint. Mushroom and Swiss burger has to be the best I've had. Great job, great atmosphere read more

I came here and I was really just in the mood for desert. The waitress didn't know how to explain what I wanted when I asked for further detail, so I guessed with the options she gave me. The chocolate cake was ok and if I knew it had little nuts inside, I'd kinda of would have select the salted caramel instead. This restaurant seems family oriented and I liked that it had history, because of the pictures displayed inside the eating area. read more

On a cold rainy night I had a fantastic dinner at the Stockton Hotel. It's a local joint with warm and friendly patrons. I had the filet tips with onions and mushrooms and everything was prepared and served perfectly. Overall a very, very positive experience. read more

HORRIBLE. Place was practically empty on a Saturday afternoon and it took 2 HOURS to get our food- burgers & sandwiches & and fries. When the food did come, it was only half of it and the rest took a half hour more, and it was mediocre. Literally would not recommend to anyone. read more

We were so lucky to find the Stockton Hotel during our visit to the area. They have a great menu with something for everyone that includes a children's menu. The service is friendly and efficient and the prices are great! read more

If you want to enjoy a great dinner with great service in a building that's a beautiful piece of history you should try this place in Stockton. We went there last weekend and had prime rib dinner everything was fresh and excellent. Their new kitchen manager is presenting a lot of homemade items which is a huge bonus. read more

Nice little bar with locals and tourists. Great Black and Bleu burger - hot, big and juicy with great bacon on it. Is the beef in this burger local, because it sure tastes better than what I get at the Giant Eagle! Service was great. Friendly and fast. read more

Nicely restored country hotel. I started with onion soup, which was all it should be. Beef-on-weck followed. Lots of thinly sliced, tender beef - a very nice portion. The shortcomings were the horseradish, which was not even close to being fresh or even noticeable, and the roll - a softish bun with caraway and kosher to be sure, but NOT a kummelweck. It had no body, and quickly turned to mush. Still, that beef was good! The service was friendly and attentive. The local country music station competed with conversation, but that's OK. It's Stockton. No need to remove your truckers cap here. read more

We've eaten dinner 3 X since they re-opened as the Stockton Grille. The food and service is great. We prefer eating in the bar as the menu is more varied and they still offer several of the dining room selections. The salmon is fantastic, crab cakes are fantastic, beef on weck also fantastic. Only complaint is that the A/C vents on the floor can be excruciating when they are blowing on your legs. Keep up the great work! read more

Maybe we ordered the wrong thing, but the beef on weck was terrible. It wasn't real beef but some kind of processed product with a great deal of sodium in it and it had no taste to speak of. I would have thought that a place serving prime rib would have had real roast beef in their sandwiches. Wishing I would have gotten a burger instead. That would have had to be real ground beef - wouldn't it? read more
