The fried chicken really hit the spot. It was crispy on the outside and juicy once you bite into it. The ribs were on point as well and really good with the sweet yam side. I wasn't crazy about the potato salad but I normally don't eat potato salad so can't really compare it. Banana pudding was smooth a hit of vanilla and slightly warm which I loved. Will definitely be back to try their other menu items.

We were in Oneonta for a week for Cooperstown All-Star Village tournament. We attempted to go here 3 times. Twice, we drove up and it was totally empty even though their hours said they were open online. When we came up, they were closed for a reservation. Once, we got in line and waited for 30 minutes and the line moved about 10ft total. We were still 20ft from the window. This is not a joke. If you want to try it, I would suggest checking their social media or calling in advance. There is no real schedule during baseball season and it can be an extremely frustrating experience. Good luck!

Thanks to Jen and Ben (the owners) for keeping this place in my favorite spots with their friendliness, great service, and amazing food!

Would make day trips to come grab some chicken and sauces during the 2000's and 2010's. My recent experience left me a bit sad. While the chicken was good (not great), the rest of the visit was very confusing. On a Saturday afternoon there were multiple tables open, yet it took three people at the front kiosk about 10 minutes to even address us and seat us. Service was decent but the salad bar was a mess - nothing labeled, bins empty, and nothing like a hot wet plate to put it on. I grabbed some sauces and rubs on my way out and again...front kiosk folks just did not or could not figure out how to communicate. Like I said, chicken is still good, but something seemed off and the overall experience was lacking. Prob best if you call ahead and take out.

Full disclosure, the food's not bad and the guy making it was very friendly. That said, these are tacos so white I'm surprised they don't come slathered in mayonnaise. No Al Pastor. No Barria. No Barbacoa. Legit chorizo comes in a tube that costs like a dollar. Where's that? I ordered a BBQ Pulled Pork Taco thinking it might be Ty's answer to Carnitas, but it was just pulled pork on a tortilla. It was fine, but it wasn't a taco. It was decent pulled pork BBQ on a tortilla. No flavorfully Mexican take on pulled pork BBQ. I can't imagine what's in the Street Corn or Classic Beef, the only tacos masquerading as authentic Mexican food. Greek chicken or falafel? Are you kidding me? Why bother? A Greek chicken taco is called a Souvlaki, and a falafel is, well, a Falafel. Star Mix is right up the street, and if you're looking for a souvlaki or falafel, it's pretty great, and a lot cheaper. And that's my real beef with Ty's. Mediocre white-people-tacos are a common scourge of any college town, but $17 for three tacos? $6 to $6.50 for one? Who's buying these tacos with the regularity to keep this stand in business? Authentic Mexican restaurants around the country - sit-down restaurants with far more overhead - manage to offer guests free chips and salsa. Ty's charges $3 for salsa, and another $5 for the chips. That's like charging $3 for the cigarette and $5 for the light. And as those countless, authentic restaurants have proven, Ty's doesn't need it.

I ordered the Goat Cheese Honey Flatbread (I think that's what it was called), which was a delicious combination of creamy goat cheese, peppery arugula, savory crispy prosciutto, and sweet honey drizzle.

The service was friendly, the environment was clean and welcoming, and I left with a great impression of Awestruck Ciders. Unfortunately, my visit last weekend was a huge disappointment. The service was extremely slow, and the bartenders came across as dismissive and uninterested. They also didn't seem nearly as knowledgeable about the ciders or what they were serving. The overall environment was noticeably dirty and poorly maintained. Sitting in the bus honestly felt like sitting in a trash can, which made it difficult to enjoy the experience. The parking situation also needs attention. There are no clearly marked parking lines, and the entrance/exit has some very large potholes that make getting in and out feel hazardous. As for the ciders themselves, I was disappointed there as well. They all seemed to taste very similar, and I didn't notice much distinction between the different flavors. It's unfortunate because my first experience was so positive that I was excited to come back. Unfortunately, the difference between the two visits was significant, and based on my most recent experience, I wouldn't be in a hurry to return.
