    We had lunch at the bar. The server was very friendly and helpful. Ambiance was very much Cooperstown. I had an egg salad sandwich and would happily eat another anytime!

    Side of corned beef hash

    Took the kid here before a game at Dreamspark. We got lucky and were seated right away. Very clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Bonus... Bathrooms were very clean as well. I got the special which was the breakfast quesadilla. As always, I also got a side of corned beef hash. Breakfast quesadilla was out of this world. Perfect portion for breakfast. Good amount of cheese, egg and sausage. Must try if they have it. Corned beef hash, I wouldn't get again. Average at best. Just seemed very dry and "crumbly" is the best that I can explain it. Great place to stop and eat when spending time in town.

    Strawberry yogurt parfait

    Nothing fancy, but for a small cafe, it provided a solid breakfast option. The name is a fun reference to the purported inventor of baseball. It's not a very big space, but we didn't have any issues getting a table. The prices are good, and the service was great. We shared a yogurt parfait that featured a ton of strawberry slices and honeyed granola chunks. They have some combo meals, and the French toast, bacon and eggs were all satisfactory. We got the food quickly as well. It's nothing fancy, but it gave us what we needed: a tasty and reasonably priced breakfast.

    Juicy burger with chips, we also got one with fries, the fries were good.

    Great food, great service. Wasn't expecting anything spectacular but the Cuban sandwich special was phenomenal! Kids got burgers which were excellent. Wife had a creamy chicken soup which was also great. Close walk to HOF, perfect lunch spot before, during, or after a visit. Cool vibe inside with the old school baseball decor. AND for the adults, excellent selection of drafts and spirits at the bar. Check them out.

    Reese's ice cream pie which

    This place is so quaint! I came here with my boyfriend (also known as my date in my other reviews) and my date got the goddess sandwich. He says it wasn't bad. I got the butternut squash and bean enchiladas which was absolutely delicious. I also had the Reese's ice cream pie which was overwhelming. Definitely good if you like chocolate and Reese's. The service was speedy and friendly. I would go back here and get the enchiladas again. They have some decent vegetarian options.

    It's a really cute cafe walkable from the HOF. Lots of memorabilia. It was completely full I think little leagues were in town but we were seated right away. It's small inside but quaint. Staff were very nice. Food came out very fast like immediately after getting our drinks. Everything was yummy. Their fries dipped in their honey mustard - delicious. Prices were normal except kids meals I thought too much and doesn't include a drink. $60 for 2 adults and 2 kids.

    This was a great spot for our families and 12U ball players to have lunch. Great food and amazing service. Our waitress Rebecca was superb and loved to talk with us and teaching us the proper names of the local towns. Even entertained us on our weird request for fry sauce. The service and food was so good we went back again on a different day.

We also know great service when we see it and always love to give credit where it's deserved! We called ahead with a large team of about 30 people and were told they could get us in. When we arrived, they were very transparent that they were working with a small crew, just two girls out front and one guy in the kitchen. With a group our size, we were a little nervous at first, but we had absolutely nothing to worry about! Zoey was our server and she was amazing. She handled our entire group with so much grace and professionalism. She kept everything organized, made sure the kids' food went in first, stayed on top of drinks and orders, and somehow managed to get all 30 of us taken care of and on our way in great time. The bartender was also incredibly nice and helpful, and together they kept everything running smoothly despite being short-staffed. The food did not disappoint either! The Reuben, burger, and Reuben burger were all fantastic, and of course the boys loved the wings and boneless wings. If you're visiting Cooperstown or heading to the Baseball Hall of Fame, definitely make Cooley's Stone House Tavern one of your stops. Great food, great service, and a hardworking staff that made sure we were taken care of. We'll definitely be back!

She offered to bring out a couple dipping sauces for our fries, and I asked for the bourbon jelly, which she was willing to do. That initial interaction set a great tone. The food itself was very good--both burgers were delicious. Unfortunately, after we placed our order, the service dropped off completely. We waited about an hour for our food, with no check-ins, no water refills, and no acknowledgment of the delay, even though our server walked past our table multiple times. At one point, I had to get up and find someone to talk to. I asked a man near the front for a manager, explained we had been waiting an hour, and pointed out our table. No one ever came over afterward to follow up. We were later told there was a large party, which is understandable--but that's not something customers or servers can control. A simple check-in or acknowledgment would have made a big difference. Instead, we were told we "should have said something," despite no one coming to the table. At the end, we waited again for the check, and when my daughter calmly tried to explain our frustration, the server spoke over her and said, "I'm almost 50--I've been doing this since I was 17," which came across as rude and unprofessional. The food was good, but the lack of communication, attentiveness, and management involvement made this a disappointing experience.

After paying $9 per drink for a captain coke and a vodka soda, (most expensive drinks we found all the way from Cleveland to Lake Placid) we hit the c-store and sat at the hotel instead.

I had always been scared to go to the Happen Inn, as it's in the basement and one can't see much of it from the street. There aren't a lot of options in Little Falls, so we decided to take a chance and are thrilled that we did. The staff was really friendly and the other people in the bar didn't stare at us (like some local people do). There's a pool table and lots of tv's. It's light enough to not be sketchy, but not too bright. There was also jukebox music playing, but it wasn't so loud that we couldn't hear ourselves talk. They have lots of beer options and cheap prices. The food was also delicious (if cooked on a visible, greasy stove) and inexpensive. We had a steak quesadilla that easily weighed five pounds, full of cheese, steak, fresh mushrooms and griled onions, and a thick burger, topped with onion petals, cheese and sauce. They have daily specials and an interesting bar top. If you have to be in Little Falls, this is the place to go.
