We are Canadian and we were traveling through to Kingston and came upon this restaurant. Our relatives were visiting from Italy and they loved the atmosphere! Very country! We played pool while waiting for our food (which came out fast). We ordered the Reuben sandwiches with French fries. The food was delicious! My cousin was impressed with how clean the restaurant was too! The waitress was super friendly and efficient. read more

Where else can you find a babbling brook in Lewis County? Dine and relax at the Boondocks Restaurant and Bar and event annnnd hotel. Big or small this place has a lot to offer. Conveniently located next to the trail network you can start your adventure here. If burgers are your thing they definitely have you covered here offering several options. There is also a good selection for dinner. I have to say I was intrigued by the Buffalo sauced ravioli appetizer. Very good and unique. Our server was very nice and attentive too. read more

Boondocks Restaurant & Bar - American Near Me - Lyons Falls, New York

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. read more

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. read more

Las Vegas in the sticks. This restaurant is extravagantly fitted, complete with a fake tree and a stream. The menu is extravagant as well full of entrees and sandwiches. My steak sandwich was excellent in its steak and toppings, my only critique is that the toasted roll could have been more substantial. My colleagues liked their salads and sandwiches as well. Good beer list. Boondocks has a separate bar area with a lot of local programming - I saw poker nights on advertisement but a lot more as well. In Lyon's Falls or Lowville area this is a quality option. Our server was very warm. Overall I would definitely return. In snowmobile season the Boondocks must be packed! read more

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 :( read more

This was our third time here and the food was great. We had chicken parm and taco salad. The salad could have been better presented with more protein and fixings with a bit less rabbit food. The environment is warm and clean. We have always had good service and definitely will return. read more

The food was amazing. We absolutely loved everything we got. The staff were very friendly.

Excellent menu choices and variety. Cozy ambiance and exemplary service. Unique Streaming beauty in the restaurant.

Stopped for lunch. Very friendly barmaid. But the food was just so-so. First, I ordered unsweetened ice tea. Noticed it came from a bar hose. You know the push button dispensers. Quite poor. No flavor. I just ordered a cup of chili. Hard to describe this. Consistency was sort of mushy. No meat/ bean/ differential. Low on chili flavor, although the cumin was dominant. I ordered onion rings, which were good ( frozen, pre-made). I refrained from the French fries because they were not fresh made. ( also frozen product ) with tip... $ 17.00 on the high side ! Should have ordered a burger, which I heard are very good. Maybe next time......? read more

Leaf peeping on a Saturday in September we had worked up an appetite for dinner and Yelp had this place about 15 minutes from us. 4:30 in the afternoon there were a lot of cars, trucks, side by sides, motorcycles, and a few 4 wheelers. Separate entrances for bar and restaurant. Bar side was really large too. We entered through the restaurant and were greeted right away. Entrance has an outdoor early evening feel with rock formations, a brook running through and a tree with lights very cool vibe. We chose a combo booth table as all booths were full. It was nestled in the back with one other table almost semi cave feel but full view of restaurant nice and peaceful. I ordered the salmon dinner which was tender perfectly cooked and seasoned with onion rings crispy and tender in the inside. This place rocks and might be on Tik Tok???!!! Love it we will go back and an hour is nothing to drive for the perfect prime rib IMO read more

Restaurant is very dark. Servers are not very friendly and not cooperative when it comes to giving you the wrong order. A person at our table told them the wings were cold and they argued with him when he said he didn't want another order of them. They brought them to him anyway and refused to comp the wings and instead took only 30% off the bill. Disappointed with the service and the food was subpar. Will not be coming back. read more

American grill cuisine with a nice vibe and good natured, attentive staff. Walk inside and there's a bar on the left styled like a bright, wood paneled mountain cabin with around a dozen beers on draft and a large open space for a band and dancing in select nights. Turn to the right when you walk in and it's a dining area with an Adirondack forest theme. I recommend burger and fries - the fries are slightly seasoned and very good. I'll also note that, I know a horde of notoriously finicky fans of medium-well / well-done steaks and they insist that this is the best kitchen in the area for producing a consistent medium well or well-done sirloin (if that's your thing) read more

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. read more

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. read more

We usually eat here whenever we are in the area. The food is well prepared and tasty! The staff is cheerful and knowledgeable about their menu. The interior is very cute. The little creek running through the dining room adds a nice ambiance. read more

Food was good as was the service! Price was reasonable, I would return when I'm in the area for lunch. Ambiance was nice too! No more to add at this time read more

Service was great this afternoon and the food was spot on. Great experience this time. Thank goodness.

Snowmobiles welcome. Stayed next door at the edge for our first night there. Had dinner at boondocks. Everything was amazing. Clean. Wasn't super packed like we thought it would be but we got there later so we missed the dinner rush I'm sure. Waitress was great. read more

While my kids love the nature theme inside, tonight's experience was quite disappointing. Let me first say, Garret, our server, was fantastic! And the food was trash much faster than anticipated! But my scallop and shrimp scampi had 2 scallops and 3 shrimp...which is very pathetic for the cost. And the scampi had virtually zero flavor to it. A good scampi should be so flavorful you hardly notice the butter that carries the flavor over the pasta....this has virtually zero flavor aside from butter. I had to add a ton of salt and pepper to get any flavor really. My niece ordered Alfredo and added the $9.99 shrimp and ended up with about 5 shrimp...that's nearly $2 each small shrimp!!! That is horrible! My dad ordered a salad and asked for extra blue cheese dressing...he was given a salad, which itself looked amazing, with two small side cups of crumbled STALE blue cheese and zero actual dressing. And his French onion soup was just about cheese less when it should have had a good bit on top. The childrens Mac and cheese was a good size portion which really made my 7yr old happy. And the other items were okay overall. But to pay so much and get so little and zero flavor, stale cheese...just not ok. read more

Everything I had here was awesome..great apps.. fried pickles @ pretzels.. good sandwiches and great burgers

If you are in the area and are looking for a place to eat, do not skip the opportunity to visit the Boondocks Restaurant. I came here expecting sub par food as it is quite remote and there isn't much else in the area. What I found were hand crafted appetizers that blew my mind and a 14oz strip steak cooked to absolute perfection. The exterior is rustic and filled with snowmobiles in the winter which may dissuade passersby from stopping, but please don't be put off. The staff is friendly, the wait for a table is short to non-existent, and the food is well above par for such a low-key establishment. Truly a NNY gem of a restaurant. read more

Stopped here to charge our car. The restaurant decorations are really cool. There is a little stream with a maple tree in the dining room with two cute little bridges over the stream. We got a basket of sweet potato fries as an app, and the sauce that Comes with them is very sweet like marshmallow fluff. The gluten free pasta was really good. The Portobello melt sandwich was also good. The kids homemade Mac and cheese was only so-so. Overall a great place to eat while charging the car. read more

The last few times that my boyfriend and I have been there, it took almost 15 minutes for the host/hostess to arrive and be seated. Most of the time we could see employees standing in the back of the restaurant staring but did not come over. It would have been understandable if we had been told someone was on their way to seat us instead of being stared at. Over the years, we've noticed an increase in $$ but the quality and quantity of food has not. Most of the servers are always polite but a few (younger) always seem distracted by their phones and other employees. The last time we were there, I ordered the Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap and it had mostly lettuce and two pieces of small chicken. My boyfriend ordered a Blue Cheese Burger but had very little blue cheese. A time before that I ordered the Pasta Annabella and it was a watery mess. It was not what I expected and ended up not eating very much. Asked the server if that was how it was supposed to be, and she said that other people had similar issues with that specific dish. The lighting is very minimal so it is hard to see the menu but the decor is very nice. read more

This is hands down my favorite restaurant of all time. The food is AMAZING, the atmosphere is great, and the servers I have had there have been awesome too. I wish it was closer to where I live, but it's probably good that it's not since I would spend all my money here - haha. read more

We stumbled upon Boondocks traveling through. A stream runs through the main dining room. The burgers were fantastic, high quality beef. The sides were bland. Wait staff friendly and enjoyable. For a small town joint, this is good pick. read more

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.

Went 1 time so far. I'm not sure if I'll be back. The service was just okay. Didn't really put much effort to a great service. And most servers really try to help out with the kids give them whatever to be good so you aka parents can enjoy meals. But this lady just didn't care about us or our kids mind you my sons are 2 1/2 and was 4 months. So they aren't much to deal but my 2 year old sometimes is a lot. All he wanted to do was try to go play in the water in the middle of the restaurant. Lol anyways the food was okay. The lobster chowder was the best. But the shrimp scampi I believe what it was. Was so plain. I had to ask for Alfredo sauce just to make it edible. But my husbands plate was good it was a steak so that's pretty easy. read more

I read in a previous review that said they deliver. I had no idea,since it's not advertised on the menu or in the building. I'd like to know their delivery areas/boundaries. My family dines there often ,and We've never had a bad meal. Our favorites are their steaks,which always come to the table a "real "med rare just the way we ordered them.,pasta ,burgers and the specials; which always show-off the chefs talent . Music nights are a real pleasure offering country music to pop. I'd recommend "Boondocks to anyone who enjoys great, food, music ,and weather permitting dining outdoors. . read more

We eat lunch here fairly often, the kids love the interior! Very cool ambience. Unfortunately, I don't think we'll be back. The salad I ordered for $22 was about a third of the size that I would expect for that price. I assumed that a mistake was made and that I was served a side salad instead of an entree salad, but was told that it was the right size. I brought up the issue, asked if there was a manager I could talk to, and waited at the table for about 10 minutes before being informed that the manager wasn't willing to talk about it. All in all we ended up spending over $50 on a kid's meal, a sandwich, and a tiny salad. Would have been about half that price anywhere else nearby. Bummer. read more

In town for a wedding and we were staying at the hotel directly behind it. We ate there Friday night and went back again on Saturday after the reception. There isn't a lot around and this place was a great find. It is deceiving as to it's size and how busy it is. There was only 2 cars out front Sat night but the place was packed. Patrons from the hotel I guess. Inside the restaurant is divided with the bar to the left and the dining room on the right. The restaurant was neat with a babbling brook that flowed through the dining rooms and the walls had images of forests. There were solid white trees with white lights, and even a woodpile was stacked in the corner. We probably had just under 20 for dinner on Friday night. The service was awesome and handled separate checks without a hassle. No one had a bad thing to say about their food and everyone seemed very happy. Don't be afraid if your in the area to check it out it is worth it! read more

We were visiting the area and decided to stop for dinner. We had the Thai Peanut Chicken Wings - a daily special - as an appetizer. They were delicious. My husband had the Pasta Annabella and I had the California burger. Both dishes were good. The service was professional and prompt. read more

It was 10 degrees out and we were on a 7 hour road trip to Canton NY to look at a college. I was with two HS kids. We were in the middle of remote upper state NY and were starving and there were no chain stores in sight. We came across "Boondocks Restaurant". The outside of the building looked inviting with the snowmobiles and ATVs up on top. Inside the restaurant is divided with the bar to the left and the dining room on the right. It was empty as it was early. The interior was interesting! A babbling brook went through the dining rooms and the walls had images of forests. There were solid wide trees with white lights. A woodpile was in the corner. The lighting in our booth was nice to read the menu by. We ordered a steak and cheese sandwich, pasta with marinara, onion soup, cheese sandwich (special request they said they could make it). The service was good -- the place had interesting decor and the food was generously portioned. On the way out a bunch of snowmobiles were descending on the place. Boondocks was a nice find and we may go back again when passing through. read more

We had a large family gathering nearby and were looking for a place that would accommodate our party (21 people). We were initially a little concerned when we could not make a reservation (it's first-come, first-served), but need not have worried. We gave them a call about 25 minutes before arriving, and they had moved some tables around and fit us all into two long tables. The food selection was good for our varying needs- we all had yummy meals. The staff was fantastic- very friendly and made us feel right at home! read more

Food was unseasoned and was served not in a timely manor. I had to wait near an hour to receive my order. This restaurant's meal type is constipation and food poisoning because that's what happened to me and a few members of my table after we ate from here. NOT RECOMMENDED for anyone who has taste buds and no patience. 0 STAR RATING. read more

Nice place! We stop here for take out when traveling back home from Adirondacks. Never disappointed.

Unique little restaurant we stumbled upon. Dining room has a little steam and lighted tree. Delmonico steaks were cooked just right and the service was quick and friendly. Wish it wasn't so far from home it wouldve easily become a regular read more

Just driving through and I was starving. We stopped at this place to eat. Atmosphere was welcoming. It was a comfortable temperature inside and not very loud at all, although it was pretty packed. The menu was simple. I didn't expect the food to be as amazing as it was. Boyfriend got the chicken parm sandwich and I got the anabella sandwich. We both were extremely impressed. I would definitely come here again. read more
