I ate EVERY bit of it. When I drove home to NE Ohio, a three hour trip, I debated whether the leftovers had been out too long but the food was so good that I ate the rest of it anyway. I'm a foodie and it's the best meal I've had in the area-hands down. My Future mother-in-law got the French onion soup and the chicken and biscuits and she loved it too!

My niece got a pasta dish which I believe she liked, my sister got the fish fry what she didn't particularly like. The dish I had wanted to order they were out of, which was kind of a bummer. They have plenty of parking and lots of seating as well as a bar. Service was nice. Talking about those fried cheddar cheese sticks is making me crave them!

Back then it was so much better. We sat at the bar and the very friendly bartender told us about the specials that weren't on the menu. One appetizer was bacon wrapped shrimp. That's all she said, no other details about that, so we assumed that was all it was. We also wanted a salad bar. $24.95 for the soup and salad bar only, or $6.95 or $7.95 if you ordered food as well. So we ordered the bacon wrapped shrimp and 2 salad bars, 2 beers on tap. I was served my porter but it was about 2 inches short from the top . I was going to ask her to fill the pint but she disappeared. So I stayed silent. We got our salads, and then she brought out the shrimp but it was swimming in some red creamy hot sauce, you could hardly see the shrimp. We asked her what it was, she told us, we said we couldn't eat hot spicy sauce, and she offered to wrap it up to go. Seriously? My husband asked her to take it back, she said "oh I'm bad, I didn't mention the sauce". They took it off our check. 2 salad bars, 2 beers and $80. So NOT WORTH IT. The salad bar was ok. However I got food poisoning from it. Burped and gas that smelled like eggs (yes I put chopped eggs on my salad) for 5 days. Nausea. Never going back.

McGuire, in the 1800s when it was the Genesee Hotel - this restaurant has about a century and a half of history in the area and deserves to be classified as an historic landmark. It is also one my grandmother's favorite restaurants, and she's eaten there for decades. Last night, she turned 95 and we put the old YoA to the test, booking a dinner party for roughly 20 people, in the restaurant's private room. Our waitress was absolutely on her game, getting orders for drinks, appetizers, meals and dessert out as promptly as she could given the size of our party with no mistakes or fumbling of people's orders. I ordered the stuffed mushrooms as an appetizer and the Tournados (steak fillets with seafood stuffing and hollandaise sauce) with rice pilaf as my main course, and both were delicious. The kitchen will do steak all the way down to rare but won't serve it blue, probably for safety reasons since they're not a dedicated steakhouse. For dinner I got the NY cheesecake with wild strawberries and sauce, and it was wonderful. A five course meal (bread, appetizer, salad, main, dessert) plus drinks cost me a little shy of $90, so I thought the price was more than fair. The wine list is limited (I asked for a dry white wine and got a choice between a sauvignon blanc and a pinot grigio. I went with the blanc and it was light, crisp, and delicious with a lot of pear notes - a good choice on the part of whoever on the YoA's staff handles sommelier duty. I didn't get a chance to ask the waitress for a snapshot of the bottle and I wish I had. For a cocktail, I ordered an old fashioned, and this is the kind of place where you can go up to the bar and order a cocktail like that and the bartender won't bat an eye before getting out the muddler. If it's your birthday, be sure to tell the waitress - I believe that they give you a free lava cake dessert for your birthday. If you order a dish like the chicken parm here the portion they serve you will be massive - two or three breaded chicken cutlets covered with mozz over pasta and sauce. This is not a restaurant that does haute cuisine portions; the old roadside inn sensibilities remain in place in places like the YoA, you expect to be fed and feed you they will. Now that I've said all that, remember, de gustibus - but if you're visiting Letchworth Park or otherwise out in Livingston County I recommend you call and book a table. And you should absolutely call ahead, the locals tend to pack the place.

The food came out extremely slow. We waited for 45 minutes, for a table of 5. There were only a few people there at the time. She offered to box up the food since we spent so much time waiting we had to leave. The next problem was our food was very inconsistent. My sister had the junk plate and my son had the junk fries and they both loved their food. My sister said it was one of the better "garbage plate" type meals she's had. Me and my mom not as good. My mom said the soup was lacking any flavor and was not good at all. The main problem with our meals was we both had the egg and olive sandwich. Tasted good until at different times we both bit into egg shells. Happened more than once to the point I didn't want to eat anymore because I didn't know to expect an eggshell. Therefore both me and my mom could not finish our meals. I posted a pic so you can see it's a big piece of shell.
