Free cheesy garlic bread! Did that catch your attention?…read more Friendly service, an interesting interior with a somewhat "tropical vibe," and pretty decent food. I can understand why the reviews on TripAdvisor say that this is a local favorite. Why not a 5 rating, though? The food was okay. The waiter said that they won "Best Pizza" in New York a few years back, and when I asked which area of New York, he said it was for the entire state. So, naturally, that made my expectations for the food go up a notch. We got the burrata salad, a supreme pizza, and linguine with red clam sauce (which came with a side salad). The burrata salad was okay. The linguine with red clam sauce was also okay, but the side salad looked like one of those premade salads that might have been sitting in the fridge for a bit. The lettuce was on the verge of wilting, and the cucumbers looked dry. As for the pizza? Okay. Was it worthy of the title of "Best Pizza"? Sorry, I don't think so. Overall, though, if you're in the mood for Italian food in the area, check it out.

My wife and I both got subs. She got a meatball and I got a ham and turkey. My wife said the meatball didn't have a lot of flavor. But the ham and turkey tasted good. Fresh soft bread for the sub rolls. Definitely recommend stopping here for a quick bite if not just for the charm of the place off the beaten path.

We went for breakfast on a Sunday morning around 11am. They have very limited hours and close at…read more12pm on Sundays! They were super busy with two waitresses working the whole place. 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.

The sausage gravy was cooked really well. It was not salty like some gravy I've had in the past. The biscuits were nice, fluffy and buttery.

I was over my friend's house at Watkins Gleb figuring out what to eat at 8pm. My friend recommended…read morethis place and said it was bar food. My first reaction was: "bar food?!?!?!" Usually bar food is terrible. But she said this place actually makes great food. And I said OK, I'll give it a try. My friend's go-to order is Philly cheesesteak, so I ordered the same thing on a wrap. The sandwiches and wraps comes with chips and they add an extra charge if you substitute it for fries or onion rings. My friend's husband got the deal for a delmonico steak and 2 sides for $19. We also got chicken fingers and fries for her kids. We called in the order, and they said it would be about an hour. Which is fine since we were in no rush and they were probably busy. The food was ready when we went to pick it up an hour later. Our whole order came to around $66 with tip. The food was hot and came in these Styrofoam boxes. There was a very large generous portion of chicken tenders, and the fries looked good. The Philly cheesesteak looked interesting as they used ground beef instead of thinly sliced steak. The onion rings were huge, and the chips looked like fresh kettle cooked chips. The Philly cheesesteak tasted ok, I think it's better than a sandwich rather than a wrap. I only ate half but was still very full. The onion rings were very crispy, and tangy sauce that came with the onion rings reminds me of the Burger King onion ring sauce but better. It was pretty good. We ordered the delmonico steak with fries and Mac & cheese. The Mac & cheese was really good, it tasted fresh, and was made with sharp cheddar cheese, and it was really melty. The chicken tenders were amazing. I haven't had chicken tenders this good in years. They were not dry at all, and were flavorful. The only downside is my friend says sometimes depending on the chef, the food might not be that good. But it seems like for now if you go on a Saturday night you'll have amazing food!

The cashier who treats you like family always lets new customers try their filling on a spoon before buying. Highly recommend this spot after a days drive.

The place is inviting, with a large front area featuring outdoor seating that extends to and from the bar area. The interior has high ceilings with an industrial feel. Our server and the runners were super friendly and more than happy to answer any questions. Food-wise, we got the chili and cornbread along with the Pitmaster Combo with jalapeño mac & cheese and coleslaw. Getting the combo was definitely the right move since you got a taste of everything. My personal favorites from the combo were the burnt ends, followed by the wings (we got them with their dry rub), and then the ribs. The pulled pork and brisket were okay, but you definitely needed some sauce. The chili was solid, but the cornbread was awesome, especially with that cinnamon butter (similar to Texas Roadhouse). So, if you're in Watkins Glen and in the mood for BBQ after that state park hike or some adult beverage tasting, come check out Nickel's.
