Top Restaurants 15 Open Saturday near you in Watkins Glen, New York

Melanie Lewis My husband and I were visiting from Lancaster, PA and we enjoy a laid back sports bar environment. From the moment we walked in our bartender Savanna welcome us with a warm greeting and smile. It was so refreshing because we have had not so great experiences while traveling where the bartenders only talk to their regulars. She took care of us the entire evening and put the Eagles game on for my husband to watch. We didn’t have food there but the service was great!

Maya Reyes Bellavia This was the perfect spot for a mini winter getaway. The view of the lake from the cabin with the hills covered in snow was spectacular. Yes the region is much quieter in the winter but that creates a unique charm. I was wowed by the cleanliness and spaciousness of the cabin. Despite being right off of the highway, I found the area very quiet and peaceful. It was very simple in a zen-like way, and cozy. Two minor suggestions: the soap dispenser in the shower could be closer to the actual shower area, and smart tv would be a nice replacement for cable tv - I would’ve loved to put on a fireplace stream from YouTube to enhance the winter coziness! As for the bistro, I was sincerely impressed by the quality of the food. The burger and breakfast burritos are particularly delicious! The hours are accommodating. Also, nice wine by the glass list with local options :) As for the location - it’s very convenient to Watkins glen (but be aware many places are closed in the winter) and close to other cute towns like Geneva and Hammondsport, as well as proximate to the best winery in the area. Major bonus is the gorgeous trails on the resort property. I can’t wait to come back with my dog!

JitkaKac Fast and attentive staff, they bring your choice of donuts to the table when dining in ($2.10 per donut). We savored cheese omelettes and a French creme donut (really good European style donut). Clean restrooms, parking on the street.

paul tonkay Was up in the finger legs, region for a weekend was looking for a place to watch a NFL game. (Go Birds!) Set at the bar, they had the games. We wanted to see on the bartenders were great. Had the chicken wings were excellent. The service was great. Look forward to going back.

Laurasa Nielsen We followed our noses to the pizza. It was delicious. The veggie was my favorite.

Karen Yang Absolutely delicious! My family came to Taichi Bubble Tea before our hike and ordered 3 bowls and the Ma La Ramen, which were all super customizable and fresh. We also had the bubble teas which were all to our liking. A must visit in the area!

Joan Chen Food is authentic. Large portion and fair price. A Buffalo Uni alumni waited on us, who was really friendly and efficient. All these experiences deserve a 5-star rating.

Nataliia Palamarchuk Stopped here on our long way trip. I forgot to take pics of food but it was tasty, huge portions, quite atmosphere.

Siddhesh Went for dinner on Christmas eve. The ambience had a very peaceful vibe. Food was overall nice. Tom Yum soup had proper spicy and sour flavor to it. Crispy spring rolls were very crispy, loved it. They serve some sweet sauce with it, instead we tried it with the spicy (prik pao) sauce from our main course and that made it even better. Drunken noodles were nice. Prik Pao sauce with mock duck were quite tasty. If youre Asian (or used to spicy food), Ill recommend ordering hot to get the taste of flavors. Best service, very accommodating. They quickly changed the order according to our needs.

Canh Vo My wife and I have been coming here for the past 7-8 year and it’s become out go-to Italian spot whenever we visit Watkins Glen. Back when we first came with friends, then as a couple dating, later engaged and now married, this place has always been a part of our trips. The food never disappoints. Even with a wait that can stretch close to an hour, it’s always been worth it. The service has been consistently excellent in our experience- friendly, attentive and welcoming. Every meal feels thoughtfully presented and tastes just as good as it looks. My wife is all about their pizzas and garlic knots while I lean toward the pasta dishes and arancini. No matter what we order, it’s clear the kitchen takes pride in their craft. If you’re visiting Watkins Glen, stop in. Whether it’s pizza, pasta or just the warm atmosphere, you won’t regret it. Highly recommend!

Lauren Larocca Walked in on a Thursday around 7:30p and we able to be seated right away at the bar or countertop. They have a great selection of beer, wine, and cider - all locally sourced. I order the duck special and I thought it was excellent. My partner and I split the tomato salad which was also delightful. We ordered a bottle of Pet-Nat from Atwater which was also delicious. I think this is an excellent date night spot or somewhere to celebrate a special occasion while in Watkins Glen. Would absolutely return.

Elizabeth Gillies Came here for dinner and some brews! Highly recommend the Oktoberfest this time of year! It was delicious! We also got the crab dip appetizer that was so absolutely delicious (would highly recommend!) We also got burgers and they were delightful too! We went on a Wednesday night and the place was packed! There was one server and one bartender and they held the place down like champions! We were very impressed with the atmosphere and establishment itself but even more impressed with the wait staff! Highly recommend eating/drinking here!

Nicole Loboschefski I cant remember ever having better BBQ than I ate at Nickels! The meat was so incredibly tender and the sauce with molasses was amazing! Drinks were tasty and our bartender Chris was awesome! She was super friendly and added to our experience.

Hali Sowle Great bagels and service! The food was incredibly good. No matter how busy they are they always greet you with a smile. Well worth any wait you might have.

Sarah Olson This place was an AMAZING little roadside BBQ. Got half a chicken - and the flavor was out this world. Unique, marinated, charcoal grilled perfection. Note: CASH ONLY
