    the intersection of a street with snow on the ground
    Thomas C.

    Nestled on the 4 corners of the Village of Cato intersection sits The Busted Yolk, a small, unassuming diner that you'd more than likely pass if you didn't know it was there. My wife and I recently moved to the Village and the Busted Yolk is a 30 second walk for us, so one weekend we headed over to grab some breakfast. It's a small little place, but clean and nicely decorated, and there were a good amount of people inside, but there were some open tables and we were sat relatively quickly. We were given our menus and looked 'em over. Typical stuff you'd see on diner menus. One of the cool things about the Busted Yolk though is they bake their own loaves of bread. I'm not a huge fan of eggs, so I went with ordering a bunch of sides of stuff to make my own plate, so I went with an order of bacon, sausage links, home fries and toast with their homemade Italian bread. The wife got The Big Four Breakfast along with a pancake. Food was brought quickly and everything was tasty. They had very good home fries with onions, bacon was nice and crispy, and their toast with their homemade bread was very good. Thick slices too. The wife also enjoyed hers. Service was good and all the employees were very friendly. Prices were pretty cheap and more than fair. The Busted Yolk does simple diner food, but they do it well and they do it friendly, so we'll definitely be back at some point.

    The food was a good portion. The service was very friendly and it was fast. Cute little place inside, a little chilly at first, but they close the one window.

    Came in for breakfast while in the area visiting my in laws for the holidays. On the scale of what I'm used to for the area, this place exceeded all expectations! It is adorable inside, with friendly welcoming staff. It's very clean and was decorated for the holidays. We got a sampling of menu items- sausage gravy and biscuits, Belgian waffle, eggs with bacon and homemade toast. Everything was wonderful! The quality of the food was outstanding. The homemade bread was drool-worthy. We will definitely be back! Also of note: free WiFi! A discounted day for seniors and also one for veterans!

    Nice country road stopover for us on the road trip to NYC…read more We had lunch here which was a burger and then sharing one of their sundaes for dessert. The burger was tasty and hit the spot, but that sundae gets the Oscar! Wow that was so good, with the brownie, ice cream, whipped cream complete with a cherry on top. Yum! Friendly service even though we were giddy with this little playground of a spot. The beautiful lush lawn, the edge of the corn field, and the cute spot under the tree to eat at the picnic table. There was also shade in the small parking lot so we hung out there too, taking a break and started talking to some local bicyclists. Recommended as a stop worth taking!

    Happy Days Drive In is a small, family owned food and ice cream stand that harkens back to a…read moresimpler time. Seems every little town here in Upstate NY has something like this, and this is Cato's resident version. They have a full dinner menu on top of a full Perry's ice cream menu. The wife and I moved to Cato late last year and drive by Happy Days every single day and have been meaning to go. We had a little drive in spot like this near our last home that we were a big fan of so we we're hoping we'd have the same luck with Happy Days. A friend of mine and I were hungry while working on a project recently and decided we would hit Happy Days for the first time this past weekend. There's a small little dining area for patrons to sit and there is table service as well, or you can order at the walk up windows where the big ice cream signs are. It's a simple, small building, decorated like similar drive in restaurants of the 50s. We had a seat and took a look at the menu and they have a surprisingly good amount of choices. I chose a buffalo chicken wrap, my buddy chose a cheesesteak and my wife got an order of loaded fries. Our food was brought quickly and was all very good. My wrap was made well, chunks of chicken throughout the entire wrap, sauce nicely with a decent spicy buffalo kick to it. My friend enjoyed his cheesesteak very much, and my wife enjoyed her fries. They have a thicker fry, which I'm not usually a fan of, but they were crispy and seasoned well. All the employees were extremely friendly as well. Now, this isn't mind blowing culinary creations here. These are simple, time tested American style dishes, but Happy Days does them well. My buddy also got a milkshake and my wife got an ice cream cone and they were both happy with them. For 2 meals, a side of loaded fries, 3 drinks, a milkshake and an ice cream cone was just under $40, and you DEFINITELY can't complain about the price! More than fair for everything we got. We'll definitely be regulars here.

    It had been many years if not decades since we had last visited the previous Jack's reef at their…read moreold location. We decided to take a road trip to check out the new Reef restaurant. The dining room was spacious and clean and bright as were the servers and the bartenders who expertly served us. They have a happy hour from 5 to 7 that varies each day so on this Thursday was half price on selected appetizers as well as $2.50 domestic select drafts. We got there about 10 after five and the bar quickly filled up, which seemed to be regulars, which was a good sign. We decided to linger a little bit over our first drinks and ordered deep fried cheese curds with a delicious margarita type tomato sauce. I had never had fried cheese curds and they were plentiful and came out steaming hot topped with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, unfortunately I did not take a picture as we were hungry and dove right in. When it was time for our second drink, I pondered over their wine list, but decided that with my Reuben and mac & cheese dinner a cold draft would suffice. My husband ordered the Philly cheesecake sandwich and onion rings. The mac & cheese and the onion rings were up charges of $2.50 and they were worth it. The cheesesteak sandwich was not shaved beef, but wonderfully thick pieces of beef on a perfectly toasted bun type with cheese and peppers. The onion rings were generous as well as crisp and not overly breaded. My Reuben was perfectly toasted on a delicious rye bread with just the right amount of sauce to not make it soggy. The star was their mac & cheese served in a steaming hot crock! It was creamy, not too cheesy, but cheesy enough to know that you were digging into a delicious bite of mac & cheese.. well done kitchen! All in all the meal was so large we could only eat half of it and brought it home for another day. We would certainly return as we enjoyed every bit of our evening. The patio looked invited and will be opening soon. They also have live entertainment to enjoy.

    We had an unexpected, last minute invite for dinner. We were greeted by the hostess and seated…read morepromptly. It was just a few minutes before our server came and got our drink orders. She came back pretty quickly and took our orders . The calamari was not a huge portion, but was beautifully crispy and seasoned nicely. The warm tomato sauce went nicely with the seasoning. Our wedge salads were huge, and there were a nice amount of toppings. My husband said his Reuben was very good and so were his his chips which tasted homemade. Our server was excellent and checked in periodically to make sure everything was good. It was starting to get busy but she was efficiently keeping up with all the tables.
