Once we got there we discovered that they didn't have the vegetarian selections that their Yelp menus had listed. Then on the way to a pizza place on Main St we walked by the cafe and decided to ignore the reviews that had scared us off - thank goodness that we did. We started with the Fries with gravy - hard to mess that up, and it was quite good. For entrees, The Famous Hot Open Veggie and Classic Reubens Tempeh were outstanding. Extremely flavorful (especially the open veggie). You would think they were a strictly vegan/vegetarian restaurant. Prices, including the bar tab were very reasonable. I'm not sure when I'll be in Oneonta again but I'll be making a beeline to The Autumn Cafe before my stay is over.

4 & 1/2 A singular American classic and great example of vanishing regional Upstate footways, I…read morewas thrilled to get a chance to revisit this place from my misspent youth after and find the place, and most importantly it's legendary chicken as fantastic as ever. This place on the outskirts of Oneonta was a favorite of myself and most every other college student at either of the towns schools. While we appreciated it as a down home and mercifully cheap purveyor of delicious Americana, I came to realize in the intervening years, and confirmed my realizations on my first return visit some 20-plus years later that it is much much more than that. This establishment in fact represents proof of a distinct style of American BBQ wholly different from the famous southern varieties all the way up in some of the northern most reaches of Appalachia, as well as perhaps the greatest masterpiece, yet lesser known creations of one of the 20th centuries most legendary chicken geniuses, as well as a wonderful representation of the overall greatness of Upstate NY's mighty and multifaceted cuisine. So as I have already suggested the chicken here must be the focal point of. Char grilled over direct heat (as opposed to the indirect smoking techniques that are the basis of Southern BBQ styles) on the glorious massive grill pit, the birds are marinated in a proprietary variation of the regionally legendary "Cornell Chicken" so named for it's creation at said university by poultry legend and Cornell professor Robert C. Baker. Baker is most widely known as the creator of the chicken nugget, but real heads know the vinegar based marinade is his true magnum opus. Somehow the alchemy of the reaction between the marinade and the bird and the char grilling process results and a what is likely the juiciest most deeply flavorful non-fried bird you'll ever experience, and frankly much more than most fried fowls. While a longtime local patron told me (pejoratively) that the recipe has been tweaked somewhat in recent years, I was unable to detect any differences or deficiencies and the sense memory came flooding back with my senses in delicious overloads. As is often the case with great bbq of any type, a random cold piece eaten in my car while driving downstate the next day might have been even more delicious it's juices and flavors congealing and revealing new delicious qualities. As I mentioned the chicken is the undisputed focal point. For my two meat combo I selected ribs as my other protein. They were...fine, though surely would leave any Kansas or Carolina BBQ authority underwhelmed if not aghast. Slathered in a thick sauce and lacking any of the fall off the bone qualities that result from indirect slow smoking, they were not only exactly as I remembered from college meals here but also very reminiscent of my childhood experience with ribs both grilled at backyard Long Island BBQs or served at spots like the defunct chain Ground Round in my childhood hometown, the nostalgia of which offset their mediocrity. The other meats on offer, which I do not believe were all on offer in the early aughts included pulled pork and brisket, surely added I the subsequent 2 decades as the popularity of southern, particularly Texas styles has exploded worldwide. As such I thought it would be prudent to avoid these options as it's straying further from this places true style and traditions. Now while the chicken, amazing char pit, incredible midcentury road sign, and gloriously un-renovated 50's era dining room were all exactly as I remember, there was one glaring change, that unsurprisingly proved to be the major basis for the places relatively low score currently here at time of this reviews drafting. Upon arrival I was immediately informed that the dining room was now fully set aside for a lunch buffet deal which for included a massive portion of the aformentioned two meat selection ($27) along with a nothing short of mind blowing Sizzlers style salad bar/buffet. In addition to a smattering of mediocre approximations of southern sides, the real draws for me were the delightfully archaic northern specialties such as chicken and dumplings, leaded yet delicious New England style biscuits which are about as far removed from flaky southern biscuits as imaginable. While the bounty of the salad bar was truly astounding and the portions of the meats enough for two full meals out of the leftovers the next two days, I couldn't help but think back to those college meals in the dining room so many years ago, when it was a real challenge to spend 10 dollars for a gut busting feast. Sadly this is no longer the case as the buffet format was added during Covid although apparently lower a la carte pricing can still be found at the takeout window, but I can certainly empathize with the disappointment of longtime patrons to this. Such is the pain of late capitalism even at wonderful local legends like this.
