We have been customers for years. Maybe every six months. Take friends and family here when they join us because we know it will be good for everyone. So, it's no surprise we enjoyed our meal this weekend. What is a surprise is thay it exceeded expectations. We of course over-ordered a meal entirely from the specials menu. Truffle fries, lobster bisque, fried green tomato bruschetta, and a SoCal style mahi mahi - each of them were amazing. And not amazing for Ohio, NY; Just absolutely delicious food. Whomever is in the kitchen this summer is killing it. The Tavern is punching above its weight, even above its usual charm and fare. Keep it up!! read more

Another fantastic meal at the Ohio tavern. Dining room was full so we sat at a table in the bar area. Bartender/waitress brought menus and took our drink order while we pondered the possibilities. Opted for a special - the cape cod Reuben with a side of tots. Sandwich was excellent, large deep fried portion of haddock and the rest of the Reuben toppings on rye. Cold beer, great food and a relaxed atmosphere. What could be better! read more

Everything here is top notch!! The food is AMAZING! Service is fantastic! This place is a must stop when we are in the area!

Best place to eat!! Atmosphere is amazing, and food incredible!! may you have to wait a little bit ? Yes, (Certainly not "2+hours"!!!!) This isn't "fast food". It's a real restaurant. I'm sure you'll certainly enjoy your meal and the leftovers you'll most likely have!!! read more

Awesome experience. Boyfriend and I were in town from Syracuse and went here for dinner. We had such a fun time. Good atmosphere and full of locals, which was great! Very Big portions and reasonable prices! Utica ("ohio") greens (gluten free!!) were great. Great burger and tots. Yummy french onion soup (though, a tad salty). Homemade pickles were amazing--for $1 it's a must. They had many gluten free dessert options...this was unexpected and so appreciated! GF brownie was great! read more

Everything from start to finish was amazing! Fried green tomatoes were crispy, delicious and served with pimento cheese, so so good. I had the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich and my wife had the eggplant boat. We just kept eating until we couldn't any more, it was that good. read more

Friday night dinner with family. Ordered burgers with a 7 and 8 year old boys. Not busy really sat for 2+ hours waiting on Burgers. 5 tables came in after and were served first. We used to like going there. Will never go again!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ever. read more

Delicious home town restaurant/bar with a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The service is fabulous and each and every time we eat there the food is prepared exactly how we order it and it is delicious! Prepare to enjoy the best pickles "Ohio" style you've ever had, and you can purchase a container to take home (they're that amazing)! Friday fish fry can be prepared a few different ways, and their beef dishes are superb! Leave room for dessert! read more

Hidden gem in upstate NY, the food is delicious. They don't have draft beer but they have draft wine. Yes, draft wine.

Always an excellent place to go, always feels like home! If your looking for a homecooked style meal, this is the place for you. All of the food comes out hot, everything is made to order. On a busy night, you can expect to wait, but why not? If your with family and friends, you can certainly use a break to enjoy each others company. HOWEVER, always worth the wait to enjoy quality food with quality ingredients, made with the LOVE for cooking. If you want fast food? Stay home and make yourself a sandwich!! read more

Simply put, amazing food and a great staff to support the business. My family and I have eaten at this restaurant since they took over and ALWAY find great food, in generous portions served up promptly. Well done by the owners..... read more

Great local spot! Family orientated and the staff was great. The long hots appetizer dish was amazing. We never tried long hours so our first impression was great! My husband opted for the chicken and biscuits and they didn't disappoint. He said they were perfectly cooked. I chose the O.H. 10 sandwich which was ham, cheese, caramelized onions and there own spicy mustard dressing. The portions are very big so we had leftovers to take home. We would definitely eat here again when traveling in this area of NY again. read more

The Ohio Tavern & Restaurant - the menu and flowers - New American Near Me - Cold Brook, New York

This is an attractive and cozy place. Lots of varnished wood and taxidermy (in bar) or art (in dining area). The food is very good, maybe the best in the area, but pricey. The drawback is that there is too much waiting! Despite the 3 young women clustered between bar and dining areas, everything is a problem! You can't just go sit down, you have to be seated. They don't give you a printout of the daily specials - you have to go through a recitation by the waitress and then remember it. When it's time to go, add on another 10 minutes to get your bill. Be sure to check it too! The bill is done the hard way with no automation. And it is VERY LOUD, especially when there are large tables full. In that case, have some drinks because your food will be a LOOONG time coming. read more

Love this place. I eat here with my mother whenever I visit her up north. The food is really good. I had the stuffed burger and it was out of this world. If you are in the area you should go. read more

Off the beaten path but worth it. Mexican night on Wednesdays is awesome. Be sure to get the chips and guac! If you're from the north country, expect the dining room and bar to be full of your neighbors and familiar faces. It's like a high school reunion every time! read more

Fantastic home cooking, large variety menu. Everything made to order, so slight wait but more than worth it. Prices very reasonable . Very clean, great ambiance read more

I came in from out of town, staying close by in coldbrook. Seemed like we were out in the middle of nowhere so I didn't expect much of this place. Very pleasantly surprised. Homestyle atmosphere, great bar, excellent food, attentive staff. Came in on a busy Friday night and did not wait long for a seat. Had some cool/different apps, tried the fried pickles, very good and had the fish fry and also broiled Cajun fish. Very fresh! Too full for desert but it looked like they had some good options. We'll be back! Reasonably priced too!! Would highly recommend even if you are not in the area it's worth a drive!!! read more

We went here while we were heading to Lake George on our road trip. The service was amazing and they are very friendly. The meals has large portion and tastes very nice. The price is pocket friendly. We may not coming back again because we are coming from the Netherlands but i recommended this place for everyone! The best in town! read more

The steaks are tender, tasty, and prepared as ordered. Chicken Broccoli Alfredo has a special cheese that makes it unique and amazing. The dill pickles are so good - always glad to much on those until dinner comes. Atmosphere is homey with many locals eating there. Great snowmobile stop to warm up and grab a bite. Most importantly- save room for the dessert. So many great choices- apple cobbler, brownie sundae, blackberry bread pudding, peanut butter pie, cheesecake - I have trouble deciding... read more

Ok. First the positives, ordered one of the specials, chicken cordon bleu. It was superb! Not dry and the hollandaise was light and flavorful. My husband ordered the tavern steak, was ok. We shared the greens as an appetizer and they were ok. Here is the hard part. I ordered the fried pickles, was brought the signature pickles instead, they were good. Our salads were brought before the appetizer. Odd, but hey, there was a meeting going on and they were a little busy I guess. The service was extremely slow. One of the sides offered was macaroni salad, I asked our server if there were onions used to prepare the salad and she said no. There were onions on the macaroni salad. The tavern steak on the menu was listed as "market price". Our bad for not asking, but this was not Ruth Chris Steakhouse. The shock was when our bill arrived, the steak was $41.99!!! I suppose we should have have questioned that, but didn't. We have been at higher priced steak houses and that is their price for their very premium menu items. For a local tavern, we thought this price was way too high. Lesson learned to ask before ordering, guess "market price" can mean anything. Glad the server didn't bring the fried pickles, that would have added more to the bill. read more

Worst service ever... Waited 15 minutes at bar for drinks, finally got bartenders attention, she slammed plate on bar then walked away!!!! Then continued to stand at end of bar and talk about us.... Party of eight...sorry Ohio Tavern you lost big money ...no dinner and drinks for us...We left and will never go back...Stellar way to run a business!!! Does not deserve one star!!!! read more

nice quaint place to have dinner or lunch. service is good and food is good too! read more

i went there to get take out and ordered a burger and baked potato. after sitting for 20 minutes the barmaid announces to me there's no baked potatoes. in 45 years of going to restaurants i never had this happen. and the place was empty. plus there's just something about the atmosphere in there and some unfriendly barmaids too. and tipping well won't help. i've learned to avoid this place just to save the aggravation the staff gives you. read more
