    DELICIOUS!!! Stopped by for lunch on a drizzly afternoon of our vacation, on the way to do a couple of errands. The amazing smell of BBQ gets you right as you open the door and I was not the only person to enter and immediately say out loud IT SMELLS SO GOOD IN HERE. Staff were extremely sweet and we got to chat with the owner of this small local business. They used to make donuts but then took over the adjacent BBQ place and then shifted to only BBQ (and AMAZING fries and a slew of other sides). DH and I each got a sandwich and side combo - he got brisket I got pulled chicken. I got coleslaw. He shared his fries with me. Lunch combo included a bottled drink from the fridge. Everything was outstanding but special h/t to the fresh cut fries- and to call them out in the company of the brisket is saying something. I couldn't have managed another morsel after such a tremendously filling lunch so I wasn't sad about the donut situation. After lunch we ran a couple of errands then stopped back at the BBQ shack again to get lunch to go for our teenagers who were back at the house. I couldn't get photos fast enough - all gone and now they are happily in a meat-induced stupor and not looking for more food for a blessed minute

    It's literally a shack. And kind of hard to spot as you're driving. It was not very apparent from the road. And we didn't know where to park upon seeing it. We circled around to the back, parked in what we hoped was their parking lot, and then saw the entrance on the side of the shack. But that's the hardest part. The rest is just simply delicious food, reasonable prices, and great service. We ordered their brisket, pulled pork, ribs, beans, and then some donuts from the other counter. We got our orders with friendly smiles, took it all back to the B and B, and couldn't wait to dig in. The brisket was super tender and moist. The ribs were falling off the bone. The pulled pork was likewise very tender. Everything had a nice smoky flavor like it came right out of the pit. And it all came with their bbq sauce. I could've eaten it all without the sauce and it would've been delicious. But the sauce added another dimension to it all. Really really good. The beans were also very flavorful. The donuts came right out of the fryer, and were then hand dipped right in front of us in the flavors that we chose. Pretty great to see. And even better to eat. Awesome place!!

    After a long day of traveling, wine tasting, and squeezing in a hike, we were famished. And having read so much about the delicious chicken, we decided to stop by the BBQ Shack to pick up some for dinner. As we parked the car, we noticed the sign "Andy's BBQ" outside, which was a little misleading, but don't worry, this is the right place. Unfortunately, they were all out of the chicken, which was disappointing, but also confirms how delicious and popular it is. We went ahead and ordered the brisket, half a rack of ribs, mac and cheese and coleslaw to go. Everything was delicious. The brisket was tender and had the right amount of fat and meat ratio to it. The ribs were served in a half slab, which annoyed me a little at first, since we only had plasticware, but to my surprise, it cut very easily with the plastic knife. The ribs were not fall off the bone, but was still very tender and smoky. The sides were both on point too. Mac & cheese and coleslaw were both simply made, but good. Overall it was exactly the dinner we needed to recharge.

    HOT FRESH DONUTS. Owners are so sweet and made sure my kids got to watch the donuts going through the fryer and conveyer. We went twice and both times the donuts barely made it out of the parking lot. So good.

    This place was surprisingly good. We love a good BBQ spot. We ordered 2 Whole Rack of Ribs, 4 Chickens, 1lb of Brisket. It was all good! We also had 3 sides; Beans, coleslaw, and the pasta salad (forgot to take a picture). They were also very good! We wanted the Mac & Cheese but they sold out. *(they do sell out of meats and sides so order early). We were a party of 7 and it more than fed all of us perfectly (but we should have ordered more sides they are served in small containers). Some members in our group are avid BBQ lovers and compared this spot to some of the good places in Texas. A must try if in Penn Yan! Will order again while in Penn Yan this summer.

    We got the sampler--ribs, chicken, pulled pork BBQ sliders, beef brisket sliders, salt potatoes, cornbread, and cole slaw. Everything was superb!

    Stopped here for lunch during my vacation in October. Quick service with the most hospitable staff. Pulled pork was so flavorful and the Mac and cheese to die for!

    Yummmy to the last bite!

    Very friendly owners! Donuts are made on the spot to your liking. Only had the donuts because we were there in the am. Will be back to try lunch!

    Warm doughy batter with whatever toppings your little heart desires!!!

    A very cute place near Seneca lake. While it does not have a lake view, its close enough to the…read moremain road. They are one of the few wineries that also serve food, so its a great place to grab lunch. The sandwiches we got were amazing (the Brooklyn and the Cuban). I would give the deli and bakery a 5/5. The attached winery was okay. They only do tastings at the bar, not at the table (at least when we were there). It was pretty empty.

    Our next winery stop was Tabora, nestled along Seneca Lake. We were fortunate to have Keith as our…read moreserver, and he may have been one of the most remarkable people I've met in quite some time. His deep knowledge and passion shone through as he shared the rich history of the winery. The owners originally purchased land in Bucks County for farming but later moved to the Finger Lakes region, where they expanded into winemaking, a bakery, and a deli--a true craft-driven endeavor. Tabora was offering a special deal: buy one tasting flight, get the second free. Normally, I gravitate toward the drier the better, but the Winemaker's Jam caught my eye. My flight included: 1. 2021 Pinot Noir 2. 2021 Cabernet Franc 3. N.V. Heritage Noir 4. 2021 Maréchal Foch I started with the Pinot Noir, a light-bodied wine with aromas of cherry blossoms, strawberries, and dried fruit--absolutely sensational. Keith explained that all of Tabora's wines age in used French oak barrels but never for more than 18 months. Instead of prolonged oak aging, they transition the wine to stainless steel, preserving freshness while imparting just a touch of oak influence. Next up was the Cabernet Franc, which had soft tannins, a light body, and notes of raspberry and green bell pepper, with a slight oak finish--and wow, it was good. Then came my hands-down favorite: the Heritage Noir, a blend of different wines that was dry yet bursting with layered fruit flavors. It was truly an incredible experience on the palate. Finally, I sampled the Maréchal Foch, a sensational, jammy wine with hints of blackberry and pomegranate and a beautifully smooth finish. But Keith wasn't done yet--he had me try a few more, including an unoaked Cabernet Franc, which became another favorite. Aged 100% in stainless steel, it was bright with red fruit, hints of cherry, vanilla, and a touch of chocolate on the finish. Beyond the wines, Keith himself was a standout. As we sipped, he shared his life journey--from New York to Hawaii, a path shaped by his mother and sister. His stories were captivating, and if he ever writes a book, I'd be the first in line to read it. Cheers to Keith and Tabora for an unforgettable experience! #fingerlakes
