The food is always so delicious, no matter what you get. Get the warm pretzels with the beer cheese, so good. Service is on point; they make sure you have what you need and your drinks will rarely ever be empty. The place does fill up quickly and sounds like from their Facebook they do a decent takeout business also. Cant go wrong going to the Iron Horse

Stuck up people with bad attitudes that come off mean but depends how much money you have to spend i guess. It's a small place some people stand up at the bar and drink while family's try to sit and eat sometimes everyone bumps into one another. Maybe take out is better than eating in. Not a bad place though, but not for me but that's just my opinion others might like.

My family and I had dinner at Jake's on the Water during our recent trip to Potsdam. Unfortunately,…read morewe couldn't sit outside because of the rain, but our table inside still offered a great view of the water. The restaurant wasn't crowded, but there were enough guests to give it a nice atmosphere. It felt comfortable, relaxed, and not noisy at all. We started with the Kung Pao Cauliflower, which was excellent. Even my kids, who don't usually enjoy vegetables, ate every bite. For their meals, both kids ordered brick oven pizzas. My older child had the Labrador and finished the entire pizza by himself, while my younger child ordered the Authentic with pepperoni and really enjoyed it. My wife ordered the fish of the day, and I chose the scallop special. Overall, the food was very good, the service was pleasant, and the waterfront setting made for an enjoyable dining experience. I would definitely return the next time I'm in the area.

We stopped at Hoof and Horn for lunch during our recent visit to Potsdam. Based on what I had…read moreheard, I was expecting a more refined dining experience, but the restaurant felt a bit worn and run-down when we arrived. That said, our server was very attentive and took our orders promptly. My two kids both ordered the special of the day, a short rib ramen, while my wife chose the chicken salad sandwich. I ordered their take on a French dip sandwich. The food was good overall, certainly enjoyable and well-prepared, but nothing really stood out as particularly memorable. While I appreciated the friendly service, the overall experience didn't leave a strong impression on me. It was a decent lunch, but I'm not sure I would make a point of returning on a future visit to the area.

The space is minimalist and gives old fashioned turn of the 20th century vibes. There's obviously a lot of pride and a commitment to local foods here. We ordered the night's cocktail special the New York Sipper -yum- the Raquette salad, two of the small (not small at all) plates that were on special that night: the creamy barley risotto and the butternut squash and mushroom parpadella. As a main course, we shared the house-made mushroom burger, savory and flavorful. Everything was fantastic, with many earthy, fresh and delicious flavors and a variety of textures. We clearly ordered too much food, since the small plates were actually full portion-size. Skipped dessert, although the special was tiramisu. They're under a lot of pressure to compete in Potsdam, but they're doing something that shows classical training and a commitment to quality. Several Finger Lakes wines on the list. Prices are astonishingly low for such an excellent meal. Note: tip is included and there were no "lighter" meats like poultry or fish on the menu. Thus the great vegetarian options, I assume.

No bar to sit at so I went to the only open table but it had a coffee tumbler on it. I looked around and a gentleman said can I help you and I said yes I was going to sit here but wasn't sure if someone was already here - he said "that's mine" and please go ahead (I guess he might be the owner). He asked if I wanted coffee and immediately brought me a cup and a menu. A couple minutes later the waitress asked if I was ready to order... I was and the order was placed and immediately was dropped off in the kitchen. I couldn't get over how everyone there treated everyone in the place like a friend. Pretty unique, and cool in my book. Ordered two eggs, meat (sausage links) home fries and toast. $11. Bill with coffee and tax just over $15. Great meal, excellent service, clean place and they know how to handle a crowd.

Jessica is the best hostess and makes everyone feel like they are guests in her home. Be advised they are very strict on the Covid regulations. Masks are worn properly at all times, I even overheard a patron being told socializing was not permitted. Hands must be sanitized upon each entry. I was just there for this event, the band was fantastic!! It was difficult not to sing and dance on the premises. My boyfriend was warned of this. It's not Jessica and Andy's rules they are just abiding by what they have been told. They are doing the best they can with what they have to work with and are making concerted efforts to provide some much needed normalcy in these troubled times. They need support NOT judgement. Keep up the great work Jessica!!
