Food was amazing! The chicken riggies were not too spicy, it was medium which was perfect for me. The brussel sprouts were amazing! My mocktail "berry bliss" was really good as well. 100/10 for food. The ambience was really nice, mellow, dim lights and not too loud, the atmosphere was calm. Tables were all spaced out perfectly so everyone had room and was not too crowded. Our waitress was amazing, checking in with us and being very attentive. I would recommend this place to others and definitely go back read more

I've visited several times. There's not many fancy upscale places to stay near there nor eat. This place is a treat. The smell of cedar makes you feel as if you're in a log cabin. Plenty of parking for snowmobiles. Their food is delicious, service is great ! I believe Taylah was our server absolutely adorable . It's a small town... be easy. Enjoy and definitely visit. read more

The pool table and dart board area was very nice. But they really need a new dart board as it is old and off center. The ambiance with music playing and bar area is very nice. But the food was not very good at all. The smash burger was overly oily and truely awful. The bread was ok as it was warm and cinnamon butter was tasty The potato soup was the only good item. The salmon and vegetables was just ok. The 1911 cider was great. Food was overall very disappointing. It's a shame as the atmosphere was great. read more

Great service and friendly greeting. Seated promptly. Because of an allergy they were able to change the shrimp dish to over greens. Nice salads and cool decor. read more

Excellent food, wonderful service and a nice, comfortable atmosphere. We stayed at the Lodge for a few nights but only ate there for dinner once and breakfast once. We wanted to try other food venues in the area. Also, the prices were a bit steep for us to eat there every meal, so we were selective. We thoroughly enjoyed the meals we had. The only regret that we couldn't try everything we wanted. Perhaps next time. read more

The food was excellent, I got the elk burger and was advised to get it medium rare which was on point as there is so little fat and it tends to be dry. My husband ordered the venison chops and loved them. Service was fast and efficient but a little lacking for being our first time there, the server could have mentioned the jalapeño jelly when she dropped off the bread because that jalapeño jelly was amazing!! When asked what her favorite menu item was she deferred to " well everybody has different tastes" and didn't answer my question. The ambience was good except for the baby crying and the dog in the hallway barking (odd!!) read more

Ordered a crème brûlée for $9.75 and it tasted amazing but was thin as paper. I honestly don't think the picture does it justice. This was by far the thinnest dessert I've ever had. Was not worth the price. I've had this exact dessert here in the past and it was nothing like this. Otherwise my dinner was good and drinks were good as well read more

Beautiful ambiance and good service make this restaurant a good find. We started with cocktails, expertly made and reasonably priced. I ordered French onion soup and a lobster roll platter for a main, served with oodles of piping hot sweet potato fries ($2.00 upcharge). I needed my husband to share the fries since the serving was so large. The lobster roll was good and it came with a small dish of pickled carrots and cucumber. Our waitress Gabby was very busy, but checked on us regularly to ensure we were happy. Great find in a rural part of Oswego County. read more

I recently stayed at the Tailwater Lodge for a wedding, and we had a great experience with the food and service here. The restaurant definitely gives you that cozy lodge feel with the wood elements and decor. I had breakfast, lunch and dinner here, although dinner was provided at the wedding. For breakfast I had a really great cup of coffee and the avocado toast with eggs on the side. The avocado toast had interesting toppings on it that I wouldn't normally think to put on it, but it was very tasty. I came back for a quick lunch before the wedding I got a glass of wine and ceaser salad and french onion soup. Both were very good. The soup had good flavor and the salad was well dressed. Both of my servers were exceptional, extremely attentive and friendly. Our dinner which was served at the wedding was great. It was buffet style with lots of options. Mashed potatoes, rolls, two types of pasta, prime rib or salmon, it was great! I definitely recommend the Tailwater Lodge restaurant if you're ever in the area. read more

Stopped in for drinks and dinner. Very nice ambiance and decor. Bartender made great drinks. Sat at the bar until our table was prepped. We had a party of 7. We got 2 orders of their Soft Pretzels with Cheese. Pretzels were good but the cheese sauce shines! Additional app was the Pulled Pork Poutine. A++ on that. Side salads were VERY fresh. 3 of us got their broiled North Atlantic Haddock with bread crumb breading. Again A++. The Garlic fries were amazing. Other members of our party got the NY Fried Chicken and they raved about it. Sherry (was our server). She was very attentive with drink refills and checked on us every few minutes. Definitely will be back! read more

I made a reservation for 2 at 6:30 on a Saturday. When we arrived they took us to the back room next to a table with a baby. We ordered drinks and 30 minutes later are told the beer ordered is out and we ordered something else... it took 45 minutes to get our drinks. I ordered filet and one piece was cooked fine the other was very raw and they took it back to cook it longer. They put a solid cold puck of some herb butter over my medium warm food, it was weird and I put it to the side. We were filling our own water with a pitcher left out on the counter. For the prices I was very disappointed. The service was poor, the back room ambiance wasn't great, the food was not that good. I was really disappointed. read more

Went here for dinner during a quick overnight trip at the Tailwater Lodge. We sat at the bar and quickly had drinks ordered! The speciality holiday drinks were great. The bartender was quick and personable. We had dinner reservations, but the place wasn't very full, so we probably could have done without them. It's also pretty spacious inside with several tables. First, we ordered an appetizer which was fantastic. It was the Salmon River Signature Sampler. This included chicken quesadilla bites, sweet corn fritters, pretzels and cheese, and crispy thai shrimp. The sweet corn fritters OMG. They were sweet (not too sweet) and so delicious. We ended up ordering dinner right at the bar and it came pretty quick as well. I ordered the special for the night, salmon Alfredo pasta, and my husband ordered the half pound cheeseburger. He said the burger was just okay. He also said the fries were bland. I however, thought the salmon dish was cooked perfectly. We were going to have breakfast at the Tailwater also, but decided the menu didn't have many options. read more

Great meal! We had the lobster roll, quesadillas, and the angus burger for lunch today. Everything was very good but the lobster roll was really delicious. Very nice upscale hunting lodge type atmosphere. Excellent service from our waitress Michelle! We finished it off with a piece of carrot cake that must be repeated. Great meal overall. This is one corner of upstate we have to come to more often! read more

Great food and service the ambiance is what you would expect in a good restaurant , always enjoy going to eat there !

I was really surprised how much I loved the spot. The food was awesome. The service- outstanding. This is a hot spot for snowmobiling and along with a wedding they were busy. We came in several times during our stay. The French dip is amazing. I loved the sampler. The food came out quickly and almost everything was perfect. The real star here was Madison the host. She made an adjustment to our reservations so we could watch the playoffs. She even came by our table to check on us. One gripe- they could use some sound buffering. It was super loud- this is the only place to eat/drink on the property. I appreciate that it is lively but this is more of an upscale/cool vibe then quiet/romantic. Just something to keep in mind. read more

My cousin and I went here for steelhead fishing. We loved it. Nicely appointed rooms. The great restaurant fills up fast, and it has a fantastic menu with delicious food and beers. We enjoyed the energy in the place, it was fantastic. We met nice people, bought a few gifts at the gift store and had an incredible experience. We will be back to make more great memories sometime soon! read more

My filet mignon was cooked perfect. And then they smothered it in some absurd salty brown "demi glaze" and I honestly would like the district attorney to press charges. Honestly, the poor chef who cooked that steak and had to murder his own baby with the sauce. It's so sad. The food is cooked fine, but way too salty. Way too junked up. I was expecting a lot better. My waitress was fine: the bartender seemed much more friendly and interested in her work. If this is the best restaurant in the area, ... we're in trouble. read more

My in-laws took my wife and I up to Pulaski and Altmar on a day trip and we ate at Tailwater Lodge Restaurant & Bar for dinner.

OK this is the fifth time we have gone to this restaurant and have been totally blown away every single solitary time. The food is absolutely amazing the chef is a real true chef and my fiancé is vegan and every time he has made her things from his own creativity that she absolutely loves. I can choose things off the menu and one of my favorites is the shrimp.. that is so delicious and now my most favorite is the two fillets with the demi-glaze. And I've had demi-glaze before but I've never had anything like this. Our Favorite servers are Keyshawn and Jenny they are the most personable friendliest servers. We have not had everyone there yet. LOL but eventually we will and I'm sure that we will have the same experience with them as we had with Keyshawn and Jenny. This is a very unique place as it's more geared to salmon fisherman and trout fisherman but also they can bring their wives to this five-star spa and hotel we haven't stayed here yet but we are definitely going to in the near future. This place appears to be out of nowhere in the middle of nowhere. LOL It is such a treasure it is definitely worth the trip. We go to Skaneateles and Cazenovia a lot and I decided from Cazenovia what it would be like to drive to Altmar and it was only about an hour from there. Totally worth the trip in every way read more

The best restaurant in and around the Pulaski area! The restaurant is large, has a nice rustic feel, and there's never a wait. The prices are a bit steep, but totally worth it! From the service, to the dessert, everything is amazing!!! You have to try the fried chicken and the crab fritters. The drinks are always perfect. I would love to attend a wedding at this venue one day. read more

We enjoyed lunch here one weekday and ate at the bar. The bartender was friendly and attentive, she took our orders and the food came out quick and hot. The decor is nice too- whether you're there for dinner or watching the game on their oversized TV this place accommodates everyone. We ordered the pretzel appetizer and the chicken sandwich - both tasted great! The pretzel had a unique homemade dipping sauce which was a nice touch. read more

We visited this establishment last week. It's fairly close to Rt 81 but set back off the road on a fair amount of property. They have a huge outdoor, shaded venue and a wedding was going on that day. They have a large indoor venue with a lot of windows and a patio outside. I did not get to see it due to the wedding. There is also a fire pit. The establishment looks like it was added to an old school which I guess are the guest rooms. We went for dinner and we were pleasantly surprised. The room was tastefully rustic with a fairly big bar, maybe 40 seats in main area then two other rooms off that. There was a draft list of maybe 10 beers, about the same in bottles and wine by class and bottle. The house pino was 6.00 a glass and my draft swallow wit was 5.50. The menu had a variety of appetizers, meat dishes, pasta dishes. We had the poutine with beef, cheese curds and gravy. The fries were the double crunch and the curds were yummy. The gravy tasted like a pot roast. Very good though. I decided to try the fried chicken based on the description of the greens, garlic mashed potatoes and crystallized orange corn bread. The chicken was moist, the sides were beyond flavorful. It also came with a side salad of mixed greens, tomatoes with a good balsamic dressing and crumbled blue cheese. My husband had a chicken, shrimp and pasta dish with various veggies. He loved it. The only thing they need to do is add some light as it's fairly dark in there and no windows in main room. For 4 drinks, 1 appetizer and 2 entrees I think it was around 85.00 before tip. read more

We went back again for our third visit and,much to my dismay, they had completely changed their menu. Gone was the delicious tri-tip and lodge potatoes. The waitress said that they tend to switch it up a little bit every season. This visit I tried the chicken and shrimp penne with artichoke hearts and it was a little disappointing. The new England clam chowder had a spice and I couldn't identify and it was a little weird. Flatbread pizza appetizer was pretty good with chicken and bacon. We probably won't be back in the season but will try again in the winter hopefully they'll have tri-tip back on the menu by then. read more

First time visitor and will be back. Stayed on a Sunday evening during a business trip at the hotel, on a sunny warm May afternoon, and had a great time.

Incredible place. A slice of heaven in Pulaski. Amazing food, rooms, views and people. Can't wait to come back again soon.

My wife and I spent 3 nights for our 50th anniversary in December. Cannot rate Tailwater higher than a 5, would easily be higher! Suite was amazing, recognizing us in the restaurant was an unexpected delight. Anything extra, more coffee, extra pillows and towels, were delivered to our room post haste. You don't need to fish to experience a wonderful time. read more
