Erica O.

Very cute place with a nice concept. The choices for protein were Zweigle's red or white hot dogs, bratwurst, beef or chicken or black beans burgers. Then you pick the toppings. Some are unusual, some are traditional and you can have any combination you choose. The bratwurst I had was nicely seasoned, but it was a bit dry inside , I think it could have used some more fat in the mixture. I had it with the spicy brown mustard, sauerkraut and fried onions. The mustard was nice and spicy, but I found the sauerkraut a little bland. It didn't have that nicely fermented taste. The onions weren't a good choice for me. There were milkshakes, canned beer, wine and a really nice selection of bourbon and whiskey. We had something called kennebec potatoes with lemon, herbs, butter, garlic and parsley. It was smashed potatoes that tasted deep fried. It was a nice portion but none of the toppings listed were on our potatoes and underneath the top layer, it was mostly crispy bits of skin and just crispy shreds. It was a bit of a disappointment. I would go back and try something else, the service was good and everyone was very nice.

White hotdog Kraut style

Stopped in for a hotdog and beer! Fantastic food and ambiance. My husband especially enjoyed his vanilla malt milkshake! Will be back for sure!

To be fair, I only got one thing from here -- maybe other items would be better! The Kraut -- it was meh. Just a hot dog with lots of mustard seeds. I actually took out the mustard seeds because it was too much. Also had to wait an hour for one hot dog...

Fried onions on the side.

My wife's been talking about this place for years, and wow, now I see why. Zweigle's dogs (red and white) with great toppings, tasty sides, and a truly phenomenal beer and spirits selection. Nice view, too.

The Kimchi Weiner

Love, love, LOVE this place! It was conveniently located right by our Vrbo and a total accident finding this place. At first, I thought we were pulling into a winery - which I'm sure is no accident. I would describe FLX as a true 'Diner, Drive-in, and Dive'. A small unsuspecting "shack" in the middle of wine country. And what a great place to stop, recharge, and grab some carbs before you finish your wine tour. We visited twice in two days. The first time we ordered the K-Town hotdog. Not sure what to expect, so we decided to split the dog. I honestly can't remember the hotdog itself, but the layers are what makes everything so satisfying. Soft bun, egg, miso mayo, kimchi and cilantro -- just wow. I eat A LOT of kimchi and was surprised at how good this was. The cilantro added freshness and by the end, I knew we had to come back. And so we did! The next day we ordered the K-Town Fries, the Whole Hog and the K-Town dog again. Just perfect. The fries were fresh, not frozen like you find at many roadside stops, and the fried onion on the Whole Hog also made in-house. Each flavor component is very well thought out. And don't forget to checkout the beer selection. Both times we took our food to go and they let us take more than 32 oz. of draft beer with us. The selection in the fridge is also noteworthy. We took some of that with us too ;)

Fries royale
Aly W.

I'm so glad we were able to try this place. I've had it earmarked for years in hopes of visiting. My husband got a burger to go, and I got the fries royale. It's a cute roadside stop, and very clean. My husband's burger was medium rare to order and very good. The fries royale are truffle fries with foie gras. Very rich, decadent flavor. It's $9 but definitely a meal in and of itself. I had to save half to eat with my dinner that night. Service was great.

Interestingly enough, I don't think this is my first review of this place, I'm fairly certain I wrote one six or seven years ago, but it seems to be gone. Regardless, the food hasn't improved much in that period of time, sadly. Don't get me wrong, the people who work here are wonderful; Extremely friendly with great service. And they have an unexpectedly good selection of bourbon (did not expect to find pappy in a place like this) and beer from all over. Food though is meh at best. I lived in Rochester and I'm very familiar with zweigles hots, but these just didn't have the same snap I'm used to when biting in. The whole hog is just too much, and much of what is on the dog just falls off. The bun definitely gets soggy, too... Could definitely use a toasting, maybe with some butter. The fries royale were pretty good, though I would reco they mix it all together in a bowl before putting in the platter, then top off with more. The toppings are all on top, so eventually you end up with just fries. Burgers were okay, but nothing crazy. And you almost expect a place like this to have a garbage plate, but the whole hog is as close as they get. Then there was the bathroom, which was incredibly dirty and falling apart. Avoid. Bring hand sanitizer. Couldn't even properly wash my hands because the sink had such poor water pressure and the soap was nearly gone (which begs the question: how well could the staff wash their hands??). I legitimately feel bad writing a bad review given how nice the people there are, but unless you're planning to drop $55/oz for some Pappy, or you're desperate for food, find somewhere else. I did give this place an extra star for outdoor seating with dogs allowed (though only two umbrellas and one was broken), friendly staff, plus the top shelf spirits. Food was a hard two. If you're heading south, just continue to Watkins Glen.

Wanted to love the place, but found a hair in my food. Which totally turned me off. Up until then I would have given 4 stars for the food and would have recommended. They are very polite and helpful, but I can't get over the hair in my food. Sorry guys.

The wall of shame. Seems petty. I double hot dog dare you to put mine up there.

I was really stuck between 3 or 4 stars. 3.5 would be perfect, but that's not an option. The group of people in front of us blocked our view of how to order...the counter person had her back turned but the kiosk where the EMPLOYEES put your order in was facing the customers and I took it upon myself to put my order in not realizing that it just hadn't been flipped back after the people in front of me were done signing. The counter girl turned around and said oh! We do that for you! How embarrassing! We had a good laugh, let me tell you I gave myself great service and was hired on the spot! (I kid...but seriously...) When your order is ready they bellow out your name and I go up and the one thing that I ordered that I didn't put in myself was missing! It was on the ticket but not on my tray so I was standing there while they got my marshmallows. That was a bit irritating! I got a plain Jane red hot, the meat to bun ratio is very skewed. Too much bread and a skinny hot dog and for the prices they should be grilling the English style buns with butter on the outside. I got cheese curds which most of the cheese came out of so it was just mostly greasy breading and some small hard bits and you can see the stringy cheese clinging to the outside of the curds...it should be INSIDE. The marshmallows really saved the day, those were fantastic. Homemade, gooey and just charred perfectly. I also got a Fulkerson winery white grape juice. That was delicious, so juicy grape tasting, best grape juice I've had. My four items came to $20. To me for a plain hotdog that got lost in the bun, cheese curds minus the cheese, two marshmallows that I had to remind the grill masters about and grape juice that is TOO PRICEY!!! There is a wall of shame in the bathroom for bad reviews. It seems a bit petty although a little funny. Just have something printed on the bottom of the receipt about please address comments or complaints to (insert email address) I double hot dog dare you to put my review up there. Also the other bathroom is taped shut with masking tape and a sign that says the toilet is broken and directs you to the port a potty outside! Like what??? Super classy. Obviously if they have a porta potty outside it's been broken awhile. I doubt they just happen to have a porta potty handy. Just fix it!! With the prices being charged this should not be an issue.

Sitting outside for a hot dog or burger

What a different tasting! It's a place from Christopher Bates one of the few Master Sommelier of the world. You will get some good hot dogs and burgers here - and you can order a wine tasting at the same time. Never had it this style, easy going with some comfort food and the wines are just great. Good spot to rest, get some food and some good wines to taste on the Finger Lakes wine trail. Don't judge from the outside ;-).

GODDAM YUMMY!!!

First time in Finger Lakes and first food stop ... Great name ordered Whole Hog dog With Italian Sausage, egg bacon corn cheese curd chipotle mayo..... Heaven on a bun.... Fries are large and excellent too

Fries
Amy S.

This was the perfect lunch spot after a morning of kayaking and several wine tastings! I ordered the local burger (no Mayo, lettuce bun) with fries and my husband ordered the Kraut sausage with fries. Everything was delicious and portion sizes were great - we're both big eaters but agreed we probably could've split fries. I was so excited to see a goat cheese burger on the menu! There are indoor and outdoor (picnic tables) seating options.

Inside seating

Another wonderful lunch! We stopped here on the way to Watkins Glen and LOVE it! Service is always friendly and the menu has something for everyone. They also note if it's gluten green or vegan which is impressive for a "hot dog" joint!

This place was great! The property is huge, and they have an amazing patio. We stopped in on our…read moreway around the lake, to sit and have a few while taking in the views. They were not very busy, because it was mid-week. The bartender was having fun with us, joking around. He recommended so many beers for us to taste, that I had a tough time deciding what to buy, so I had one of each. He even convinced me to take a few 4-packs with me when we left. My favorite beer was the was a double IPA that has since been rotated off the menu. My wife had cans of some kind of seltzer that was like gatorade mixed with mountain dew? I don't remember, but she brought a bunch home. Definitely check this place out!

5 - I'd try to convince my wife to drive an hour just to come here Skip to the end to see my rating…read morescale. Although it's more of the modern feel than the earthy feel that I prefer, Tin Barn more than makes up for it with an awesome view of Seneca Lake, an expansive outdoor seating area, and friendly staff. Although we didn't eat while there, they do have a food menu, so Tin Barn really hits all the important aspects I look for in a brewery - good beer, welcoming and comfortable atmosphere, dog friendly outdoor seating, and availability to get some snacks. It all creates an inviting atmosphere that I'd be happy to visit again next time we're in the FLX Region, even if we stay on one of the other Lakes. My rating scale: 1 - Just don't 2 - You'll survive, but there are better choices close by 3 - Good choice if you're in the area 4 - I'd drive 30 minutes out of my way just to come here 5 - I'd try to convince my wife to drive an hour just to come here
