This spot has had more name changes than a witness in a crime novel--Chef's, Classic Chef's, and…read morenow Chef's Gatherings--but whatever they're calling it these days, it's still serving up the kind of breakfast that fuels adventurers. We stopped in before tackling Shequaga Falls, Seneca Lake, and Taughannock Falls, because nothing says "ready to hike" like a plate of bacon, eggs, and hash browns that could double as a weighted vest. The coffee was strong enough to wake up even the laziest hiker, and the service was just the right mix of friendly and efficient--classic diner style. The pies in the case were eyeing us the whole time, whispering, "you'll regret not ordering me." Sadly, we stayed disciplined... but next time, those pies are mine. Bottom line: Chef's Gatherings may change names like it's in witness protection, but it's still a reliable, hearty, small-town diner. Perfect for loading up before chasing waterfalls.

It was run by an older couple and they had a sign on the door to announce how service would take a while .

As we were waiting for the lady to come over for our drinks and food order we noticed that no one in the place had food. A family of four came in and they were told it'd be about an hour for a seat. Finally we were able to have the lady come over for our order, I ordered home fries and the lady said they just sold out. She's asked if I wanted anything else and I proceeded to say no. She's like oh you don't like breakfast food, I said I just wanted home-fries. She did ask if I wanted lunch instead. I said no thank you. We needed up leaving in awe that a diner would have run out of home-fries by 11am when no one in the restaurant had appeared to have ate. Not sure how this is so highly rated. Very disappointing. Ended up driving 40 mins to another place.

Lots of parking but it gets pretty busy. The restaurant is fairly small so seating can be limited. There is additional outside seating. They also have a general grocery store with some unique items.

We ordered within 5-10 min of sitting down, but then waited 45 min - 1 hour for our food. We both ordered omelets, which were massive and tasty once they arrived. Turns out the waitress forgot to put our food order into the system. She apologized, but otherwise, nothing else was done. I was shocked since most places own up to their mistake and make it right to the customer by offering a free side dish, comping the meal or taking a percentage off the bill to recognize their mistake. This was not the case. There's MANY other breakfast spots in the area so I would skip this and look elsewhere.

I will definitely go back, and eat from their food menu, and take pics. I didn't take any pics, because our experience didn't seem to align with all the 4 and 5 star reviews. which signals to me, that our experience may not have been a normal experience. We had never been and had not heard much about it. I checked out their website first. Which is a fun looking website. It appeared to be a diner that also sold ice cream. We pulled in, there were outside tables set up under shaded canopies. Lots of space for kids to run around We noticed the front had a walk up and order Ice cream window. Past that was the door to the restaurant part. The restaurant inside area was small, The menu sounded amazing. Chili dogs, fried hot dogs, they had some interesting hot dog ideas, as well as Hamburgers, fish plates etc. shakes, Ice cream. Very laid back atmosphere. If you have kids, it will be a super, affordable win. It definitely has its place in Lodi, and I do see they are a big success with Ice Cream and take out. Which is what I wish we did. The first thing that hit us when we walked in was the smell of fish, it was a super strong offensive odor. I looked to my right and saw a few people at the table with fish baskets. I thought to myself, that must be where the odor was coming from. But wondered why they smelled so bad. We sat down, ooh'ed and ahhh'd over the menu, but still nose crinkled over the odor of fish. We decided that the kitchen must not have good ventilation either and we were smelling every fish fry they had cooked that day, and maybe even more days. I do not recommend eating inside. Then we noted the flies. We were swatting left and right. I know restaurants have flies, it is hard to keep them out of the kitchen, and they are expected in outdoor seating, but inside the restaurant. Nope! That's even a Big Nope for me. Little miss outdoors. We decided to leave the indoor seating area, skip lunch, and ordered Ice cream outside at the window. Dessert for lunch felt a bit naughty, in a fun way. Yes, I heard it too. I am an adult, that doesn't like adulting. Haha! We ordered soft serve twists. Our rational being that just the soft serve machine needed to be clean. So there was no chance of flys landing on it. We are not weird germaphobes, but once your brain starts down that rabbit hole, sometimes you just cannot find your way back, that was us. We were down the rabbit hole. The Ice cream was really good, ALL of the employees were very nice. We felt no judgement leaving the table and going outside to order Ice cream. While we were waiting for our ice cream, the wind shifted and the odor was just disgusting. This was outside, we took a look around and we found a Porto-potty on the side of the building. Just around the corner from the Ice cream pick up window, and next to that was a Dumpster. So take your pick on what caused the odor. While we were in our car we decided to play a game of what we would do differently, if we owned it. This what we came up with. 1) Deep clean the inside eating area 2) add ventilation to the kitchen and dining area. 3) add a mesh, magnetic fly door. 4) make sure employees are also swatting and disposing of flys. 5) move dumpster to front left side of parking lot. 6) buy a portable- potty trailer, those will need magnetic mesh fly doors on those as well.
