Bacon, Egg, & cheese in a plain bagel
Jennifer C.

After multiple days of hotel complimentary breakfast, we were ready for something new and came across this wonderful local little dive. My son and I love bacon, egg, and cheese, and Jive Cafe knows how to do it right. The bagel was crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside, it was also the ideal thickness. My husband ordered the Ruben Egg and it was delicious, the corn beef was tender, and the tangy sauerkraut and dressing made it come together for an explosion of flavor (his words exactly, lol). It is a small little dive with a local family feel. The service was quick and staff were very friendly!

Walked in for a quick bite between games at Dreams. Veggie and cheese sandwich was freshly made and delicious. Egg, bacon and cheese with toast was very good and filling. Iced coffee and raspberry latte were good tasting. The food options are just right. Enjoyed our dining experience. Highly recommend if in th

Rueben Egg Sandwich

My son and I both loved out breakfast sandwiches. Got the rueben & egg (unreal) as well as a bacon, egg & cheese. Great little dive!

Nice place just outside of Cooperstown. Alot of locals visit this place for good reason. My jalapeño bacon and egg sandwich was great. The bread really made it. The pancakes were really good with local maple syrup. Grab some coffee as well super fresh. Enjoy

We really enjoyed our breakfast here! Great and friendly customer service along with tasty food where it is clear they appreciate both their 'regular' customers, greeting them by name, and first timers like us. Highly recommend the egg breakfast sandwiches on ciabatta!

The decaf here is very bitter and I could not find the sourkraut. COB salad was good. Serving staff was very helpful.

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.

A little "brunch diner" that was a pleasant surprise. After touring the National Baseball Hall of…read moreFame, we decided to get some lunch. After checking out the menus, we decided on The Cooperstown Diner. Upon entering, this restaurant is SMALL. Twenty five seats are available. The decor is old and the restaurant could use some work. To use the restroom, a person has to walk through the kitchen. I have to take a point off for this. The food, how ever, was most excellent! The hamburgers are made with fresh ground beef and made by hand patties. Make sure you give a temp on the burgers or they arrive at a medium temp. The small burger is seven ounces of beef and sets high on the toasted bun. The chicken salad is house made and is seasoned with an Italian blend of spices. It was served as a melt on toasted, buttered sour dough bread. A very good sandwich. The other meal was the steak sandwich. The roll was toasted and piled high with beef and cheese. The French Fries and Tater Tots are from frozen but prepared well. The menu has a very strong breakfast variety but we didn't see or order a breakfast item. The price is very reasonable for the amount and quality of the food. If something out of the norm is something you like, give this place a chance. You will be pleasantly surprised!!!

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!

The Glimmerglass at the Otesaga Hotel in Resort in Cooperstown is a throwback to the old style…read moreelite hotel dining. Unfortunately, it is no longer appreciated for it's greatness as times have changed. As a Resort Guest, I had the breakfast option which was a great choice to enjoy such elite dining on premises. Convenient and top notch. In the times I visited (July 2021) it was trailing to the end of the COVID nightmare (but before Delta) and the buffet was open and full quality was there. About all a guest could notice was the diligent wearing of masks by staff. The buffet was as good as you can get. Full fruit and Continental options, or hot eggs, meats, potatoes, biscuits, and gravy. And eggs/omelets made to order. The only drawback was that I didn't want to over eat to start the day. needed a second stomach. Upon sitting the wait staff gets any drink you need (coffee/juices) as part of my breakfast included price. I was only brought a check at the end for a gratuity. Some uneven service getting to drinks quickly but it wasn't hard to get their attention if needed. There is a fancy dining room (I dropped a couple of photos) and a nice outdoor patio facing the lake. The outdoor seemed to fill up first albeit the weather was near perfect so can't blame. A point of confusion was logistics and dress code. Upon check in, the desk clerk let me know where it was and strongly advised a reservation and let me know it was fine dining and dress code was appreciated. Not knowing what time I wanted to eat I called late and no answer. I called restaurant services when I woke up and was forwarded to the casual dinner restaurant. I called the desk and had them transfer me, same as just calling, forwarded to casual not answered. No worry, I arrived and they had the guests on a list and it wasn't crowded enough to be an issue. Other thing was dress code. Some things I'd read in the literature was no sports gear, no hats, etc. Since most of the patrons were at the hotel for recreation (kids baseball tournaments, Hall of Fame, etc.) I didn't think wearing a T-shirt and tennis shoes would be an issue. It wasn't. Just don't wear swimwear. At the time I went it was breakfast only. If and when it opens for dinner do not listen to this advice and discuss with the management. Really nothing wrong here, can't withhold even a star. If you stay here, eat here. If the cost is too much, then find a place in your range but you won't beat the quality. This buffet was as good as it gets.
