So every year for the last few years we've taken our vacation up this way to visit family...and one…read moreof the things that I look forward to the most about the trip is being able to go to the Iron Horse! 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

Food is not bad,expensive though! Service isn't the…read moregreatest, it depends on who's working at the bar or in the kitchen. 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.

Enjoyed a lovely lunch at Smuggler's Cafe today! The weather was stunning & their outdoor patio is…read moregorgeous! Our waitress was super friendly & the service was amazing! The food came so fast, which was great cuz I was hungry lol I ordered fried mushrooms basket & they were absolutely delicious! We also ordered 2 burgers: Black & Bleu Burger (1/3 lb Burger with Lettuce, Tomato, Red Onion smothered in Crumbly Bleu Cheese) Avocado Burger (1/3 lb Burger with American Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato, Onion & Avocado) The burgers were OK, they lacked seasoning & they were a bit bland for my liking. Ended the meal with American coffee while enjoying the river view.

The only thing keeping me from a better review is what I call the curse of the single diner. Groups got water, I didn't. The server never asked if I wanted a second drink or dessert.

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.

My wife and I came up to this neck of the woods while visiting family and had a great meal here…read more The location is beautifully located on the water (unfortunately our visit was more gray and gloomy outside). All of the staff we interacted with were great and friendly. Our family from this area raved about their poutine, but a recent menu change got rid of it. Despite that they had a variety of starters/apps, sandwiches, pizzas, steaks, plus other entrees including some specials on a separate little menu. Included on that was two cocktails that we tried, I had two of their Strawberry Rhubarb Collins that was light and easy to drink with just enough strawberry and rhubarb flavor. My wife had their special sangria which had tons of flavor. Both fantastic drinks! As a group we split some pretzel sticks as well as some bang bang shrimp. With both being great bites before our meals with the beer cheese and mustard for the pretzels along with the shrimp sweet chili aioli being perfect dips. Lastly for the main event my wife and I were on the same wavelength and got their Vodka Chicken Parm, that originally was to come on top rice pilaf but both substituted for house made pasta. Everything from the vodka sauce, to the house made pasta, to the chicken were fantastic! Would gladly get it again. If we lived around here I would picture this being a regular stop for us! Friendly and welcoming staff with well made drinks and delicious food! Give it a try!

Unfortunately just moved away from Carthage and I miss this place already. I realized I never left…read morea review but this place is a gem. You can't go wrong with the food, the atmosphere, or the service. If more people on Fort Drum knew about it, I feel like it would hold a lot more going away dinners. If you're on Drum consider doing one here--they have a shot ski! I'll be back every time I visit and can't wait to have the wings and Hall Pass fries again.

Anyway I ordered chicken parm off the regular menu with a posted price $16.95 and requested spaghetti instead of angel hair was told no problem. asked if there were any rolls or italIan bread. Waitress said no but I can butter a piece of white bread if you want. Declined her offer. Meal came out with angel hair instead of spaghetti. Sauce looked and tasted like chef boy a Dee. Bill came and was charged $18.95. Questioned the waitress and said she would find out why. came back and pointed to the bottom of the menu where it said that menu items and prices are subject to change. I understand that but one should be told that the price you see on the menu is not the actual price of the meal. What made it worse was the tone in her voice as she was saying it-very degrading. Last year when we visited they were adding a service charge to the bill which turned out to be a server gratuity but if you didn't check your bill and seen it you would have still left a tip on top of that. I noticed that it was no longer on the bill this time around so there must have been complaints. I won't be going back to this restaurant again. Buyer beware

Hubby ordered Ruben which is his favorite sandwich and he loved it! Best he had ever had. He could taste the love in every bite. I chose the Haddock Fish Fry, perfect! Not too much breading...delish. Granddaughter ordered cheese sticks and cheese quesadilla, loved it.. all gone! Kudos to the chef and staff for making our evening the best dinner experience ever. We will definitely be back and will bring more family members and friends. Maybe even some Togo orders. Place is clean. Outdoor seating available but have to get there early as all the spots were taken. Music was a little loud inside for us. Two member band was playing outside at 6pm so the music was turned off inside so we could hear them... great music! It was an enjoyable experience to hear them even though we were not outside.

Ordered the Buf Cauliflower App, It was tasty, cauliflower was soft inside. The blue cheese was tasty had nice texture. Steak and potato soup had a zing to it. Was different and hot and flavorful. Had Chicken Carbonara- tasty, missing the bacon had peppers and onions mixed in with pasta. Pulled onions and peppers out little to big for us. Mac n Cheese app that was suppose to have pulled pork on it but no pulled pork had few tasty crispy onions on top with jalapeño chunks mixed in. Def different, it was tasty.
