Sat at the bar as I was alone but there were tables inside and picnic tables outside for a variety of seating options. I was offered water immediately with my menu. I sampled the Berry Sour Seltzer which tasted great. Not too fruity and too bitter. I ordered a glass. The food offerings were limited to one side of the menu, half being appetizers and half being meals. I was a bit surprised by the cost of the Elk Burger ($29) but made that my choice as I wanted more than an appetizer but good comfort food. It came with smoked gouda, lettuce, tomato, onion and mayo on a thick yet soft bun. Salad greens coated with balsamic dressing accompanied the burger (fries were available for an up charge). One bite told me I'd made the correct choice and the price was worth it. The burger (ordered medium well) was hot and juicy and the bun did a great job of balancing that without falling apart or getting soggy. The Gouda cheese had such great flavor and it was in the perfect state of warm but not melt-coated into the burger. My water was consistently refilled and I sat there and enjoyed every bite of that burger and salad while I drank my Seltzer.

Rooster's Old Forge…read more The fries were absolutely perfect, crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. The Figgy Burger was likely the best burger I've ever had at a restaurant. The bun alone was outstanding. Excellent fusion of flavors. Everyone else in our group ordered the Classic Burger, and every single person had great things to say about it. If you're in Old Forge or even passing through Utica, Rooster's is absolutely worth the stop.

The menu has something for everyone, whether you're looking for a fresh salad, an incredible sandwich, or a hearty meal.

The service is always quick and friendly, the restaurant is spotless, and it's just as great for takeout as it is for dining in. Madison Bistro will not disappoints and is an absolute must-visit!

Believe the bad reviews and just stay away. The owner is a complete man child that threw a temper…read moretantrum, was very rude to me and my family, and blatantly lied to us. A true embarrassment to himself and his businesses. My family and I were there to celebrate a birthday. Some of us were in line to order food while the others sat at a patio table. We were approached by a waitress who told us we had to leave because we had a kid under 18 with us. We were bummed and she said the owner was there and she would talk to him about it to see if he would allow an exception. We've been there before on the patio with kids since the signs for 18 and over were only on the doors beyond the patio. She came back a short time later and said no we had to leave. While we were walking back to the table to leave, the owner made a snarky comment to us about never coming back and leaving a negative review. We approached him because what business owner does that? He proceeded to raise his voice at us and have a meltdown when we were being level headed and asking about the policy and asking him to check on the multiple other tables that had kids under 18 sitting at them. He stated that he couldn't have anyone under 18 in the building because of his license. There is no such license in New York State so that was a complete lie. He then told us to just get the f*** out. It's totally fine if he wants to run his business with that policy (the only one in the area), but the manner he handled the situation was out of line and uncalled for. As per the owners request we will be leaving negative reviews and never going to a business associated with him ever again.

While they also serve hot dogs and hamburgers the chicken tenders and chicken sandwich by far are the best. Chicken is tender and juicy which elevates this entree to the next level. Restaurant the minute you walk in reminds me of my high school years complete with school cafeteria chairs, pictures of Charlie's Angels on the wall, a tv with looped shows from the 70's and 80's... Brings back a lot of nostalgic memories walking in. Only compliant is that serving sizes have gotten smaller but some really great food . Highly recommend this trip down memory lane

I've yet to try their soup but everyone says its bomb. Ya can never go wrong, they really make some killer food! Only reason why I gave 4 instead of 5 stars is because sometimes it takes a while for our food, even if were the only ones there. I think I come here too often now that I think about it....
