Fancy Farmer - Italian buffet

Located in the center of Sharon Springs, Fancy Farmer is a local restaurant and bar which was…read morerenovated completely from the former Brookfield Laundromat, Brookfield Studio, Coffee House, and US Gas & Deli (gas pumps removed). They are still going through their soft opening period with an abbreviated food menu at the time of this posting. A larger menu is upcoming. The food menu offerings include appetizers, salads, burger & sandwich plates, bowls, chicken entrees, pork tenderloin, coconut shrimp, pierogies & kielbasa, filet mignon, ribeye steak, kids menu, and desserts. The pricing seems pretty fair, most entrees in the $12-$21 range with a few in the $26-$40 range. The place has a laid back rustic barnhouse atmosphere with dim lighting with seating up at the center bar in front surrounded by high top tables and booths, flat screen TVs on the walls, and a back dining area with regular tables. The bar offers 6 beers on tap, wine and mixed drinks. While driving along US 20 through the farm country of Schoharie County, I stopped in for dinner at Fancy Farmer in Sharon Springs. The place was moderately busy on a hot Saturday evening. I headed up to the bar and took a seat. The bartender gave me a food menu and I requested ice water as I made choices. I started out with Pierogies (4 for $6.50 plus tax) which came out hot, 4 pan fried potato filled Polish dumplings with sauteed onions & sauerkraut and sour cream. These oily firm pierogies were really great and I enjoyed each bite. Next, the Low Country Shrimp & Grits ($17.95 plus tax) was a modest portion with soft stone ground grits smothered with a creole sauce, Gouda cheese, andoulle sausage slices and three grilled very firm seasoned shrimp, no tail and cleaned. This Southern style dish had a nice spicy flavors and the grits were not too hot. I was all set after finishing my food and got the check which was $26.41 with tax and before tip. Overall, I really enjoyed my meal with good service. The bartender checked up on me asking how the food was and offered refills on the ice water. I would definitely return to Fancy Farmer once their menu is expanded and can't wait to taste what they'll have to offer.

Hello Fancy Farmer! Long time listener, first time caller…read more Heard about this place many of times. Finally got to experience this buffet. I'm mixed about this review. Arrived about 6pm. Food was very tasty and well prepared. It was not hot. I didn't really mind so much because it was good. And I was hungry. Salad bar potion of the buffet was mostly empty. Little disappointed in that. Service to our table and bar tender were very friendly and on point. The restaurant itself was very nice and had a great atmosphere. I will be back and hopefully have a five star experience and review to follow.

Cute bar/restaurant in Roxbury, NY which is a small town with only a handful of eateries. Cool vibe…read morein there, with a decent local beer selection. Unfortunately, the food left us feeling ripped off. I ordered the buffalo chicken wrap (but received the chicken bacon wrap instead). Not a big deal though- I was hungry, food took a while to come out so didn't want to wait for it to be rectified, and I was able to just pick out the bacon. My wrap had 2 pieces of frozen chicken tenders in it. This was really sad, considering it was $17. My husband had one of the skillets, which also clearly included some frozen food (i.e. the potatoes). We made the best of it, but definitely hope the food situation improves here. I wouldn't not recommend, especially if you're in a pinch, and given the limited options on the area. Also a nice place to come for a beer! They have outdoor seating as well.

Slow service. The lady was on another planet…read more They were out of the drink I wanted and then out of my backup Cab. My friends ordered their beers that came after two to four reminders. I ordered the chicken sandwich special. It was decent. Not amazing. But good enough. Best part was that she thought she was waiting for us to pay, but we hadn't even asked for the bill. We were waiting to order the dessert she gave us the menu for. When she brought out the dessert she looked at the one I ordered and legit said "I don't know what this is...." That one sentence was the way the whole meal could be described. But overall a fun experience because of the company that we kept.

This is a home style, comfort food, small restaurant in the town of Scheneves named after an Indian…read morechief .The front and back of the menu display information about the Indian chief , his daughter and legends of their life . Everything is homemade,many dishes cooked to order . Pastries, pies, cakes, breads are attractively displayed. The menu is not fancy and features homemade soups, chili, salads, breakfast and lunch dishes, burgers, wraps, sandwiches, etc. I opted for the chili and was told it was mild and if I prefer more heat the chef would add more spice to the recipe when served. I enjoyed my chili ,topped it with onions and cheese which cost a bit extra with sour cream on the side . It was most delicious . My dining made ordered the California Reuben a sandwich of turkey swiss cheese , sauerkraut on Kimmel rye He said it was very tasty. His came with a side, many choices but he ordered the potatoe salad which was very creamy and tasty. Portions were good, food plated nicely. Hot food came out hot . Prices very reasonable. The restaurant was filled with customers, and was clean and neat. The restaurant is closed mid December to mid March and normally closed on Tuesdays. We think a great little find on our way to Albany.

I had a Cuban, very well prepared, especially being so far from Hanava. The coleslaw was crisp and delicious, it appeared to be home made. A real dill pickle, and my wife had an equally delicious grilled hame and cheese on sourdough. After coming out of the restroom she commented they were spotless. I said "I know, I took a picture", haha. Skip MacDonald's and stop at Chief Schenevus Bakery and be delighted

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.
