Every single time I come back home, dining at Colden Country Inn is non-negotiable. Located just a few miles from our homestead, it's an absolute diamond in the rough that never, ever disappoints. The food is always fresh and prepared absolutely perfectly. You truly can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but a few standout favorites are: Chicken Wings: Outstanding crunch, flavor, and execution--some of the best you'll find in town. Fish Fry: Golden, crisp, and fresh every time, with excellent sides that are all homemade. Cheese Steaks are made with thier shaved prime rib and is incredible, great portions of beef, onions and mushrooms. The Chicken Parm: was much bigger and tastier than I thought. My parents could've split one order, however, they now have a second full meal at home- the noodles from the pasta are homemade. The Daily Specials are always incredible and ever changing. Chef has it going on, and is building a helluva reputation for his business. To top it all off, they have a fantastic beer selection that pairs brilliantly with the menu. Also, they have an INCREDIBLE Bourbon menu as well. Colden Country Inn is just outstanding across the board. If you're anywhere near Colden, do yourself a favor and check it out no matter the time of year. In the winter they have dining igloos on the outdoor deck, that are heated. Such a cool concept! This restaurant is becoming a main stay for every trip home to visit my parents. I've been here at least once for the past four years, and I will be coming back again! ;) read more

So yeah wow. This place is....great?! We went hiking at Sprague brook and we were hungry and ready for some cheap easy simple bar food. Stopped into this place with that expectation and were met with a real menu with lots of different options at a good price. The food was excellent they've got real chefs and the staff and prices were fantastic. The building itself is super cool too I loved the pictures and decoration all over and the history of this 1850s building. We really enjoyed it and I'd come back here any time for sure! read more

Went for taco Tuesday and was pleasantly surprised. The deep fried taco was 9.95 ( compared to 18 at the local county fair) and it was delicous! The waitress was friendly and on top of drinks. The only weird thing I'll mention was the smell of sulfur as you walk in the door. I'm assuming it's because of the water wells but once I got past the door the smell went away. read more

Colden Country Inn - Deep fried taco - American Near Me - Colden, New York

Amazing hotel, lovely rooms. I highly recommend free breakfast always attentive staff in a lovely Boston Hills, New York.

First time, won't be the last. I really liked this place. Parking lot next to the building is snug, but there is a municipal lot across the street. Front bar area has a few tables, and a packed bar at 5:30pm on a Wednesday, but there was a nearly empty dining room in the back, so we sat there. This is a very casual atmosphere, there were even a couple of families with little kids. The host and server were both prompt and friendly. There were some really interesting historical photos of the building on different walls. The food was very good, and enough for leftovers for lunch tomorrow. This was a win. read more

The food was not good. Beef was gray, no taste like it was boiled, sauce was watered down, and pizza was terrible. Hard to ruin pizza. Heard so many good things from locals but guessing they don't have much to compare it too to know what good food is. read more

I ordered a gluten free blackened prime rib. I told them I do not want the sauce it contains gluten . I waited over an hour for my meal to come out. The sauce was on my black and prime rib. I was extremely hungry and upset. The retribution was I am sorry. So I left extremely disappointed and hungry ! I did not want to wait another hour for a meal . read more

It was very enjoyable! I love old restaurants that make you take a step back in time! Fun seeing photos they have displayed from long ago. We went for Taco Tuesday and tried the deep fried tacos. They happily customized the contents to our preference and the tacos were so good! Crunchy outside coating and not greasy (which I was assuming they would be)! Prices were really reasonable , too! It was a nice drive to Colden and a perfect little "date night"! The staff were super friendly and helpful, too! It was our first time there, and will not be our last! read more

The deep fried taco was huge and delicious! It was full of flavor and came out piping hot. The homemade creme brule was creamy and delicious. The entire staff, to include the owners, were very welcoming and friendly. The restaurant maintains most of the original decor and structure which lended itself a very relaxed atmosphere. The craft beer menu is excellent with a lot of thought that went into the selection. read more

Love, love, love this place. We go very frequently, and the chef has never disappointed! So good!

Always good food and good service. The menu varies so there is always something different to try. Everything is tasty! Great Friday night fish fry with choice of fish and how it is prepared. We enjoy going there often. read more

Mike and Tracy have owned Colden Inn for about 10 to 15 years now. Mike has always been an excellent cook. Eager to learn and try new things and always coming up with some really delicious surprises. Even if you told me he was making a mud pie with rocks I would try it if Mike made it. I moved away a while ago so I haven't been there but hopefully in a few weeks I can go back. Make my stomach growl yum! read more

Brian and I have been coming to Colden Country Inn for the past 8 years so we knew EXACTLY where we wanted to have our wedding reception. Mike and Tracy are amazing, along with the food. Our family and friends could not get over how incredible the food was!  Some would expect the food to be not as good as table side service,  but definitely not in this case! Even with the covid the service and staffing was seamless, all the food was put on time hot and fresh and truly mouth watering. FIVE STARS is not enough to rate Chef Mike, Tracy and the amazing staff. We Thank you whole heartedly, Laurie & Brian Greiner read more

A very nice place. We eat in the bar. The beers on tap are fantastic. They actually had an Old Rasputin Imperial Stout on tap. Our dinners were very good and the service was as well. The only reason I didn't give them five stars is because it was sooooooo cold inside. My wife wore a sweater. Unfortunately I didn't have a coat. It's June not December. I will come back and bring a jacket. read more

Incredible place with an always rotating progressive menu and top tier beer list. Cannot say enough about the quality of food and nice staff. read more

Great Food! Lots to choose from! The burgers and flatbreads are great, and they have the best French onion soup!

We really enjoyed our visit ...server was excellent ! Highlights were the garlic parm wings , pizza and elk chili . Lots of great beers on tap and reasonably priced mixed drinks . Lowlights were ( literally it is really dark in dining room ) the stuffed jalapeno was really lacking salt and thier "signature " steak sub was sliced roast beef not steak and also missing spice . We would for sure go back for the wings which were perfectly cooked. read more

Everything I ever had here was outstanding!!!. Been coming to this place for 8 years almost. They usually have a really good tap list. Staff is great read more

I hope my exuberance for just being able to find a restaurant to eat at does not affect my scoring for this restaurant. Four guests were at the table - we shared a tater tot appetizer while sipping on martinis and a dirty bastard IPA. The beer selection is good. Dinners were; lobster rolls, burger, philly cheese steak, and a quesadilla. No complaints from anyone, and my burger was wonderful. This is by no means a gourmet restaurant, but the food is simple, good, plenty of it and very reasonably priced. I will say - the desserts were upper scale in presentation and taste. CCI is a local joint that keeps the locals very happy - my guess is it will make you happy too. If it's tavern food you crave - get soma dat. read more

I tried this place over 5 years ago (I took the the outside night shots) and EVERY time I'm back in NY to visit, this is my go to place. I have been there over a dozen times and all but one time it was phenomenal. (The owner/chef was off). BUT it was still great. Last Saturday did not let me down. The Elk Meatloaf with a bourbon gravy, garlic potatoes and sautéed mixed veggies with something on them. I pritt near picked the plate up to lick it. (A slice of bread would be a good idea). It's got just enough game flavor for you to know it's not beef, but not enough for the palette timid to be put off. And the shrimp bisque soup, off the hook great. Which, FYI for the non cooks, to get shrimp in a soup that's not over cooked is a pretty good trick. No chewy rubber shrimp in that soup. Desserts? I don't know. As a matter of fact I have never had dessert here because I'm full. The portions are ample and the price is more than in line. It's got a great vibe too. You just wouldn't drive by this place and think it is as cool inside with the awesome food. read more

What a great find out in Colden. A great place to have a high value meal. Good food for great prices how can you go wrong? On Tuesday they have a special menu with deep fried pizza and tacos. I tried both and they were great. I highly recommend a visit to the Colden Country Inn. Also have a look at the pictures in the walls. I love looking at the history of this building. read more

Best food in the area! The owner/chef is great with a great selection of beer as well. Our favorite place to go in the area by far!!

Great food- awesome cocktails & chill atmosphere! Second time here while in town & it did not disappoint. This will be a favorite when in town! read more

I read the reviews and they all seemed favorable so decided to eat here after my husband and friend finished running the Tough Mudder. There wasn't many cars in the lot so plenty of parking. We walked in and there was several regulars sitting at the bar, who all turned and looked surprised to see strangers. The appearance of the place was not what i would have thought. It just looked like a bar, not a restaurant and I had second thoughts about eating there. We stayed and I will say, one of the best decisions ever! The food was out of bounds. We ate at a high end steak house the night before that didn't even come close to being as good as this place. No one was disappointed with their food. The portions were huge. The service was decent. If I'm ever up that way again, i will definitely eat there again! read more

Colden Country Inn - This was the Flat Iron steak with a mushroom demi glace, mixed veggies and mashed potatoes. Fantastic! - American Near Me - Colden, New York

Colden Country Inn is a small bar/restaurant with outstanding food, and many surprises. I would almost call it a "gastropub". Sure, there are subs, wings, and pizza, and the pizza is among the best in the region. But you might be surprised by Elk Kielbasa. You never know what specials might be on the menu. They also have an awesome beer selection for such a small bar. If you ever find yourself down in Colden for skiing, hiking, camping, or just a casual drive, check out Colden Country Inn. read more

I would've never thought to stop here if the bartender at the Kissing Bridge bar hadn't recommended it. Thank goodness he had! We ordered wings and pizza, and they were all great! The wings are up there with some of the best I've had. The pizza was great, the edges of the pepperoni were crispy/burnt, which I love!!!! Can't forget the huge selection of beer which was awesome!!!! read more

Love this place! Taco Tuesday for the deep-fried tacos are awesome. Can't wait for the weather so you can sit out on the patio

Fabulous food, friendly bartenders (funny and informative)! Reubens and fries are perfect! Flank steak is impossible scrumptious! Don't wait, take a drive through the gorgeous Colden roads and visit this gem of natural perfection! Don't forget to check out the draft beer list, you will not be dissatisfied! Very thorough! read more

Yes We frequent this place at least once a month. Beware, today I had a specialty beer cost $7.00. Great beer but wasnt aware of the price until the bill came. read more

I grew up in Colden, so I may be bias. But love this place. As a kid, it was known as the Colden Hotel. Great food-nice people-small town folks. Good place to go also if you want to just drink. read more

I was ok with the increased food prices but when portion sizes and quality goes down as well as not even getting certain side orders enough is enough. It's tough for all businesses right now especially restaurants, I get it but if you can't keep up the quality and quantity with your prices raised it's time to cut back and scale back the focus of the restaurant. My money will be spent else where from now on. read more

Met some friends for dinner a couple nights ago. The food was very good. I had a bowl of mushroom soup, which was excellent, and we shared some appetizers. The menu items were very interesting, but we didn't have much time or a big appetite. Will definately be back soon. Server was also very friendly and helpful. read more

Best French onion soup on the planet. Wings are terrific too (best in the area unless you want to trudge all the way down to downtown Buffalo). In fact, for what on the surface appears to be a country/dive bar, the food is phenomenal. People are friendly, beers are cheap, and the music is plentiful to boot. What's not to love?? read more

The food is always good and they always have good specials. The BLT is the best I've had, same goes for the Ruben. Great beers on tap too!
