Sunday brunch is a special meal. Of all the commercial experiences it's the least necessary, and…read moreyou hope to have a very pleasurable meal in a comfortable, relaxed experience. Opened on December 3rd, Patocka's Gastropub is one of the few restaurants in the greater Binghamton area to offer Sunday Brunch. We love Sunday brunches so it was a no brainer to go to Greene, NY to sample the fare. The outside has been renovated, and provided the venerable building with a tasteful front. Inside, it's neat, clean, and tastefully though sparsely decorated. It has a welcoming and comfortable feel. We were greeted warmly and seated immediately. We opted for a booth, and Meg's upholstered bench was firm and comfy. I sunk into my bench enough to make the table uncomfortably high. I rolled my coat up to pad the seat, and came up to a roughly normal dining level. Menus, water, cloth napkins, and black tableware were brought right away. Drink orders were taken, and our drinks sat on the bar for over five minutes before our server brought them. It was another five minutes before our meal orders were taken. Our orders arrived in a reasonable time, and looked amazing. Meg's Eggs Benedict was done as she ordered but she'd have liked it a bit warmer. My French Toast, bacon, and Home Fries were all cold. I ate the bacon and toast, but was surprised by my home fries. They were tiny, over cooked, and surprisingly, a mix of white and sweet potatoes. They were not on the menu as such. I enjoy yams on occasion, but the occasion is not for breakfast. And, not cold and hard. Our server offered to get me some white home fries, but the cook told her it was not possible. No other substitution was offered, but she took them off the cheque. The ambient temperature was chilly. Meg wore her coat, I wore a sweater, so we were fairly comfortable. It's a very old building, so I anticipated that, and wore a sweater just in case. The staff were all cordial and friendly, and the pub was very nice inside and out. We were two of only a handful of diners, so the slow pace of service with two servers on duty seemed excessive. The cold food was a problem. I credit the fact that it is a rural village for the pace, but can't think of an excuse for cold meals. I will say that the dishes and the black tableware were epic. Loved them! Will we be going back to Patocka's? You bet. We'll stop by for a weekday lunch or maybe a weekend evening meal to give them another shot. Brunch may have to be mastered, but how is their regular menu? We'll see.

Burger was well-seasoned and I really liked the burger sauce, asked for extra sauce and there was no charge. Chicken sandwich was very flavorful, crispy and we liked that they use chicken thighs. Onion rings were crispy and tasty. I usually dunk onion rings in ketchup but they tasted perfect just as they were. The garden salad was fresh and a generous portion; balsamic vinaigrette had a nice flavor.

We like to fill our plastic jugs there, and the road to free H2O runs past Riverview Diner. We've passed it countless times over the years, but not at mealtime. Today the stars aligned and we stopped for lunch. Quaint, homey, and user friendly, we immediately got a warm and fuzzy feeling. Meg had a hamburger, I had a cheeseburger. My burger was delicious. The fresh bun came apart and I had to use a knife and fork. Our fries were perfect for us. Golden on the outside, soft inside. The owner/server was friendly and efficient. Not a glitch, and all together we had a great lunch experience. We recommend you try it out when passing Whitney Point on I-81 or US-79.

This restaurant is in an old building reconfigured into a bar and grill. The menu was actually quite extensive. We ordered several appetizers to go along with our drinks, mostly beer. They were very good even though small portions. Next it was time to order our dinners. Most had actual burgers, but I ordered the ahi tuna. This came on a roll with an Asian slaw. It was very good. Service was good. We were fairly early, but the place was filling up when we left. Our grandson picked this place. As a college senior I can see why. Inauspicious and relatively inexpensive. A perfect place for a college kid to eat and drink.

Never got to try the food because we waited 45 minutes after ordering with no food in sight. We asked the waitress and she told us it would be another 15-20 minutes, so over an hour total, for our food to arrive. All we were getting was burgers/sliders. As I looked around there was 10+ tables just like us in the same situation. One of the few tables that did get food immediately boxed it up and left, saying it was all cold already. My party had to pack up and leave without any food because we would've been late to the show. The one shining light was the waitress, she was fine. Will not be returning again.

Huckleberry is a more-tart relative of the blueberry, and is notoriously difficult to farm. There was so much fruit here that we couldn't really say it was the dominant flavor. Quite nice. Nice red hue, too. Wait ... "Berry Man"-ilow? Not sure of the intended implications. It seems to get sweeter as it warms up. I still don't get the name. Wachusett Blueberry Ale was a less-tart and more malty brew. This to us was more beer that fruit-punch. So one of liked the first, and the other liked this. There were maybe a dozen more drafts to choose from. The bar was pleasant, bright, and relaxing.

Definitely will come back. Place was hopping but we didn't have to wait, food was really quick to come out too! Only negative which I've seen other reviewers mention ... was the drinks. (I'd suggest ordering your drink in a bottle, or bringing a drink from home...) our drinks tasted really awful. (Soda, water; etc) we narrowed it down that we think it was the ice. I wonder if the ice machine needs a cleaning. Something was not right about it. We ended up ordering bottled root-beers for $4 each because we couldn't drink the water. I won't give it a less rating for this- just something to note. Definitely will come again!
