DBs buffalo chicken wrap
Thomas C.

Out in the Cato/Weefsport area, there isn't a ton of choice as far as food goes. You'll find more farmland than houses and people, so the choices are slim pickings. DBs is a small, seasonal drive in located on the Erie Canal Bike Trail, and I was pleasantly surprised with their food. My wife and I moved to Cato a couple years ago. As I said, slim pickings for food options. There's 3 or 4 places to eat, otherwise, you're driving a half hour to a closer city for some food. I'd passed by DBs a handful of times and kept saying I had to try them. I've lived in small towns in Upstate before, and they all have a version of a drive in type place for food and ice cream, and they are either amazing or terrible. I finally decided to go to DBs probably a year or so after I moved to the area, and now I'm a loyal customer of theirs. The staff is always friendly and professional and everything I've eaten from them has been great, far beyond what I expected. My favorite dish from them is a buffalo chicken wrap. Wraps can be difficult, some people aren't very good at putting them together, but DBs always nails it. They have great fries and my wife loves their fish sandwiches. They are seasonal, like a lot of these drive in are, so you gotta get your fix in during the spring-early fall seasons. Prices are more than fair and they give you a ton of food. Definitely recommend giving them your business if you're in the area during their season.

a sign for lunch and ice cream

This place is pure Americana. Good old fashioned food at amazingly good prices. The haddock sandwich was great. Good fries and friendly service. We were there on a busy Saturday and they were a little slow getting customers through the line. After I ordered, I wasn't sure if I should go sit down or wait by the counter for my food. There was no number or receipt given. We sat outside and they brought the food to us. Great food, good ice cream, reasonable prices. Definitely worth jumping off the Thruway for lunch if you have a little extra time. I'll be back next summer.

Huge fresh haddock sandwich with two sides.

Good for ice cream. Not a lot of seating available. Food (other than ice cream) seems a little bland. Servers are always working hard.

Everyone that works here either is legally identified as being mentally disabled, or they're all…read morejust completely dumb and lack the brain capacity to do anything more than work at this place. It's McDonald's, so you know what to generally expect and you know how garbage it is for your body, that's obvious. This all started with a double quarter pounder meal with a Coke Zero sugar. I get the food through a delivery service so I didn't see the inside of the place at this time, but it's pretty disorganized and tables have always been filthy. Bathrooms are the same story. The coke I got wasn't my Coke, it was actually a root beer, and also without a straw. So already I was frustrated. Then came the undercooked fries. Nowhere close to being the golden crispy that you'd anticipate. Everytime I've come to this location it's always been the same story with the fries. Always undercooked. Always. Then the burger. It was warm which I'd expect from delivery, but it was also... UNDERCOOKED! So somehow they managed to mess up my whole meal. Fries awful, drink wasn't what I ordered and lacked a straw, and the burger should've been used as a way to torture. The location has been awful for years, and it's clear there has yet to be any improvement, let alone the quality and such staying the same. It's actually gotten worse. This is one of the few times where everyone from the GM, all the way down to the window licker in the back doing dishes and taking out the trash needs to be fired and replaced. Save yourself the headache and frustration and find a less awful McDonald's at the nearby Victor location, the mediocre Farmington location, or somewhere else.

We only utilized the drive-through at this location, and things for the most part went very slow…read more Making it really reasonable, it's located right off the Thruway, which makes total sense of why it's slow while traffic is building up. That's one thing, but also maybe they're short staff for the majority of it, who knows? The staff though was very friendly and we didn't have any issues with ordering, but it did take some time for the food to come out, mainly because of the frappe. The person told us it would be a minute, but took longer than anticipated. No major issues, but an apology for waiting would have been nice. Our orders came out right, and by surprise, we got medium fries without ordering them, but I looked at it as a treat.

It took a bit of time to get our food, but once I realized that it was cooked to order I understood the wait. Then once I saw the portions I thought..."bonus". Then once I took my first bite I forgot about the wait time and was like oh hell yea!!!! Large crispy moist and FULL of flavor chicken. I did not specifically drive here from Marcellus to eat here...but as good as it was I could see making the drive from Marcellus just for this chicken. Total FAN... Totally a Friends and Family recommendation and Yelp Bookmark.

When it first opened, I went opening day and the line was wrapped around the plaza and people said they had been waiting 3 hours! I decided to go back a few weeks later and there was a very small line but the wait was quite long. My first impression was good - god quality chicken, good fries, good flavor, but not much spice. I recently wanted to try again but this time I ordered take out. I tried the medium chicken sandwich and there was almost no flavor this time? I should've gotten spicier but there wasn't anything there at all.. It did come with a lot of their Daves sauce but I was expecting more flavor from that as well. I think it's fun to have every once in a while - a good new chain to have nearby!
