    Cheese Burger

    Boondocks is a great place to go when you wanna get out of the house! When you walk into the restaurant it looks exactly like a Adirondack forest. They have all this decoration to add to the feel. Including a waterfall! The service is great, the hostess sends us right to our table, and our waiter was very nice! It only took about 20-30 Minutes for our food to get here which is a decent time. I ordered the Mac and Cheese and it was pretty good.

    The food was fantastic. The restaurant itself felt like a Adirondack themed "Rainforest Cafe". There was a tree, a river, and a rock feature inside the main dining area. It was super unexpected and fun, and I loved it. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. We ordered a LOT of food, and it was all fresh and delicious.

    Great, family friendly place to enjoy comfort food. We enjoyed the prime rib and chicken masala (though there wasn't that much chicken in the masala). The Pumpkin Pie cocktail was yummy but the Pumpkin Lava Cake didn't have any lava :(

    I have never been in this small town before. We are like ten miles from Canada and the locals preferred method of travel is a snow mobile. So, to find this gem of a restaurant was an amazing happenstance. It's wonderful lot and very attractive from the outside. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by a delightful young woman that seated quickly and politely. Our witness Deanna and she was amazing all evening. This place looks like a rain forest inside and it's really cool. It's all very clean and the tables are sturdy real wood pieces of furniture. Not flimsy junk. Our drink orders were taken immediately followed by our food order. I ordered stuffed shells and my girlfriend ordered a veggie burger. We also shared a bow of seafood chowder and a side of Mac and cheese. They were extremely tasty, hot and well prepared. The main courses was first rate all the way. We shared a apple tart with ice cream for dessert and was yummy. A perfect way to end the evening. I would highly recommend this place to any traveler looking for something great. I suspect the locals already know it's awesome.

    Stopped in this way last night for dinner for the first time. Solid restaurant with a fun wing challenge if you dare. My husband sampled the hot sauce that they use for the challenge and decided it was too hot for him. Ended up getting the appetizer sampler plate and the over the edge chicken sandwich. The sampler platter was good. The potato twisters were the standout. Wish the onion rings were more crunchy. The boneless wings and the mozzarella sticks were your average run of the mill. The over the edge Sandwich was yummy. Liked the crispy onion tangles but wish there was more kick to the sauce. Also a toasted bun would have just added to the sandwich! Great service by our waitress and will return if in the area to try out other sandwiches. Could use a little update to their decor inside.

    Food mediocre and pricey. The bill is normally just as much as if you went to the steak and brew. Food here is nothing fancy.

I enjoyed their table side Caesar and Steak Diane, both of which were great. The 8oz steak was a nice cut, the sauce was very tasty and it was fun to see it cooked table side. The Caesar was made from scratch - including egg whites - together with a story about where the salad originated. Service was warm. One caution is that the restaurant is great for a slow dinner experience. I saw a few long dates that seemed to be going well. If you need to have a quick dinner, I would make that clear when you walk in. However it really stands out in the area.

Everything from taking drink orders to the amazing story and table side Caesar salad preparation was performed with great efficiency, yet left us all not feeling rushed. Many dishes were orders and no ok e complained. I had a dish called Triple play, it was lobster tail, filet mignon and duck breast. Everything g was cooked to perfection. My favorite was the table side Banana Foster! Once again there was a story and interaction with all table guests. Oddly and ironically the restaurant was decorated with nothing but images of cows. Various pictures and paintings but it seemed odd since prime rib is a well advertised specialty. I would highly recommend a visit to this place. A personal favorite was receiving sorbet just prior to the main entrees being served. A simple but nice detail that isn't found in many places. Give this place a shot if you are in the area

Upon entering we found a really cute place with tables and some bar seating. It has a cute and casual atmosphere with popular songs playing but in blue grass style. It wasn't busy because they just opened for the day so we were seated immediately. We were happy to see they carried beer from Wayland, a local brewery from our area. We ordered drinks and food and it came out quickly. Our server was attentive and was able to speak to all our menu questions to ensure we got what we needed. I ordered a class of Pinot Grigio and the Martha salad with grilled chicken. It was absolutely delicious, very flavorful and tasty. The cilantro and dates were a nice add on to a salad. The dates were a nice sweet contrast to the salty goat cheese. I was impressed that they had a lot of healthy and gf options that were wonderful and didn't feel like an afterthought on the menu. I am told the blackstrap bbq chicken sandwich was wonderful. The chicken and onion straws were nice and crispy. The bbq sauce wasn't overpowering but added a nice addition to the sandwich. The onion ring on top was a huge bonus and the fries were perfection, possibly the star of the show. I'd highly recommend if you are in the area. We hope to be able to come back another time soon.

Any place with free refills on fountain drinks and homemade onions is always tops in my book, but my wrap was excellent.

The dipping sauce was hard to not just dip everything on my plate in, (I did it anyways)! Our server was so nice and made sure we had coffees and waters filled and love the at home vibe of the place.

They give us time to order and when we do, they bring it to our table in at least 15 minutes. Which is pretty fast! My personal favorite foods at Jebs are the Grilled Cheese, and the Patty Melt! Our family thinks that all the food here is amazing no matter what they order. Then we have to order the Desserts and their ice cream is the best Ive ever had. The Atmosphere has a very Adirondack feel to it which adds even more incredibleness to Jebs!!

Any other time, if you are not a regular, this place might not be for you. I've been here several times with mixed experiences. The last time I was there was a Thursday in the summer of 2024. My husband, brother and I were excited to find seats at the bar and order dinner. The bartender was a short blonde woman and there was a male bar back. The bartender did not acknowledge us for over 15 minutes. We were actively looking at the menu on our phones and talking about what we wanted to try and attempted to make eye contact with her as she walked by us with no luck. She didn't even say "I will be right with you", literally no interaction. She was very friendly with everyone else around us seeming to know exactly what they were drinking and happy to get it for them. We left as we felt very unwelcome there and ended up having excellent service down the street at Lukin's.
