Rooster's Old Forge…read more The fries were absolutely perfect, crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. The Figgy Burger was likely the best burger I've ever had at a restaurant. The bun alone was outstanding. Excellent fusion of flavors. Everyone else in our group ordered the Classic Burger, and every single person had great things to say about it. If you're in Old Forge or even passing through Utica, Rooster's is absolutely worth the stop.

The owner is…read moresuper friendly and you can tell he takes great pride in the business and the food they serve. While I am not the biggest burger fan, I always make exceptions for smash burgers so I was excited to try the classic combo. It was delicious and had just the right amount of everything. The fries are also excellent, with a great seasoning. I opted to dine in today; the dining area was quiet, well maintained, and clean. I was told to come back and try the brisket, and there are so many other things I want to try, so I'll be back soon!

We were greeted by Melissa, a co-owner of the establishment. Ambience was cozy, warm with nice pictures and setting on the wall and a good assortment of rock music ranging from Led Zeppelin to Fleetwood Mac. We ordered two appetizers of the steak fritters (highly recommend) and stuffed tots with bacon and cheddar (again, highly recommend). Both appetizers were incredibly delicious and would absolutely order again. Our main course consisted of a jam covered Gouda burger cooked perfectly with a side of lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles (pickles were VERY good!) and a side of FRESH CUT fries cooked perfectly! The charred bun was a nice touch. The food was a 10/10 as I can't review anything negative about it at all. Melissa did an amazing job balancing her servicing the tables as it was very busy, and made sure to constantly check in on us from time to time to make sure our water glasses were filled and if we needed anything. I give her and her staff a 10/10 for service. The ambience was great overall and was very comfortable. Music playing in the background was very romantic and settling. A great experience for a low key date spot. The owner Melissa said they offer bands sometimes on the weekends, typically a Saturday night. Melissa, if you and your husband happen to read this...keep doing what you're doing! Your food is VERY GOOD, some of the better burgers I've had in this area and your ingredients are outstanding. Was definitely happy to have had the opportunity to experience Cleveland House and we will definitely be back for more! Keep up the great work of

The onion rings were pretty good, too. I gotta say for a place that kinda screams "overpriced", it really isn't. Came to almost exactly 50 dollars for two burgers with fries, order of onion rings, and a soft drink. Honestly? In this economy? Pretty fair for the size and quality. 6 dollars for a shake kinda surprised me too, albeit I didn't order one. Server was nice. Place was probably overstaffed, but pretty great experience overall. Very pleasantly surprised. Check it out.

Double Cheese is the latest restaurant from Feast Coast Hospitality & Design, the minds behind XO…read moreTaco, the recently shuttered Original Grain, the Hot Stuff line of bottled hot sauces and Fly Bird, their brand of chicken tenders that coexists on the menus at both XO Taco and Double Cheese. The calm ambiance and muted, cinnamon-brown walls of the space's predecessor, Cafe at 407, which closed at the end of 2023, have been replaced with TVs in the dining area and bar, a wall-length mural and a little nook with a neon sign that reads "Say Cheese!" and Polaroids of satisfied customers pinned to the wall. The menu taps into childhood fast food nostalgia, with burgers, fries, onion rings and milkshakes -- plus beer, wine, cocktails and boozy sodas. With five burgers, two chicken sandwiches, two salads, a few shareable starters, Fly Bird chicken tenders, a Chicago-style glizzy and a fried fish sandwich served only on Fridays, the menu isn't long, but offers enough variation to appeal to most diners. The wife and I stopped in on a Saturday right at opening time. We were sat and given menus immediately. We decided to share a burger and fries and an order of tenders. We ordered the blue suede shoes - a burger topped with cheddar, bacon, lettuce, tomato, carmelized onions, pickles and house remoulade and an order of hot stuff buffalo tenders. Our food was brought relatively quickly and we enjoyed everything. Fries were fresh, crispy and seasoned, burger was cooker perfectly, the tenders were fresh, crispy, saucy and had just the slightest kick of heat to them. Our server was very friendly and helpful, prices were comparable to similar restaurants, and we has plenty of food to bring home. We'd definitely go again.

Burgers are smash burger-style which is not my favorite. There is a good array of toppings to choose from. It's a small place but they're very fast getting your order ready, even if you order from a computer. Perfectly good greasy spoon burger. I got the maple bacon burger which was 2 patties, sharp cheddar, bacon and maple aioli. The patties were overcooked and nothing really popped with flavor, but the bun was good and the whole was greater than the sum of its parts. Fries were really good too. Lack of shakes is a miss, although I understand them sticking to the pies they already have when folks can get shakes down the block. Would come here again for a burger, but probably would explore more of Lake Placid first.

While they also serve hot dogs and hamburgers the chicken tenders and chicken sandwich by far are the best. Chicken is tender and juicy which elevates this entree to the next level. Restaurant the minute you walk in reminds me of my high school years complete with school cafeteria chairs, pictures of Charlie's Angels on the wall, a tv with looped shows from the 70's and 80's...
