The Watering Hole - Cortland (NY)

4 /5 Steven Arkwright: Now this is an out of the way local kinda place...but the staff is Super friendly. The food was rather good and service was good despite only 2 gals working out front and maybe two in the kitchen they did their best to keep everyone happy. Our food came out after a pretty long wait and it was Hot. My brothers drink was forgotten for a while, but when I told the gal waiting...she was mortified. She made it on the spot. I should probably be giving them 4 on the service...but rest assured I Would go there again.

4 /5 Aindrea Arkwright: The deck was around back, food took for ever but good... mix drink was great. Forgot to take pictures.. the band stared around 7. Nice little knook

4 /5 Brenda Dann: Typical bar food. The view makes up for the average food. The front door sticks, so we thought the place was closed. There are no signs that point to which door or where youre supposed to enter. It was very tricky getting into the place, as we ended up going around back and going through the back door. Regardless, well return. The setting is beautiful!!

5 /5 Carrie Christensen: Recalled seeing this place when heading to a bird walk a couple years back. Finally made it inside today. Delicious!! Friendly, quiet at that time, Thursday 1pmish, with a handful of folks having lunch at the very spacious bar. Menu overwhelms with a scrumptious offerings of every kind of comfort food imaginable! It happened to be wing day so we got a dozen of the rootbeer sauce because, wed never seen so had to try!! Appreciate our server (turned out to be the owner) not only described the wing sauce but mentioned as they are fresh made they would take about 25 minutes. Not sure they did, we were enjoying looking at Lake Como, trying to decide if it was frozen through (doubtful). My Mom got the Byrce, mac&cheese, delicious and large enough that she is enjoying the leftovers for dinner! After kindly answering my dozen or so questions, I was hungry & indecisive, I got one of the best burgers of my life! Its not even on the menu! Topped with a suculent spicy (bacon?) jam, bacon, jalapeños, LTO & cheese, it was cooked to medium rare perfection & the bun was grilled so as to sop up all the juices. Jam? On a burger? Just order it and thank me, them, later!! Our third ordered the perogis which turned out to be covered in minced garlic, not onions, shes a fan so all good. All came with fries which were crisp on the outside and fluffy inside. Cant wait to return to this family run off the beaten path slice of comfort food heaven!

5 /5 Aaron: Great place!! We had the (cordon) blue balls, fried pickles and wings to start, delicious!! They had a speedy chicken club sandwich special that was amazing they really know how to cook chicken. Service was fast and friendly. Really impressed since there isnt much of anything else in the area. Definitely will be returning when Im back in town.
