Really special place with the perfect mix of modern and mountain vibe. Pictures of the food don't this place justice. What looks simple is surprisingly sophisticated (even the saltines crackers were elevated ). Small menu but everything is excellent. Burger (which didn't look like much) was a 10 out of 10. Drinks were equally excellent and creative. read more

The Junction - Pimento cheese and fried artichokes. Looks simple but blew us away. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Roscoe, New York

I go to The Junction often and it never disappoints. The food is consistently great, the ingredients always fresh and high quality, and the staff is wonderful every time we visit. I've worked my way through most of the menu and everything is delicious. The Smash-burger, whipped feta appetizer, and kale Caesar salad are some of my favorites. Definitely recommend. read more

I had been dying to come here since my mom lives in the area. She's so picky about food so she had no interest. Once I had my husband up in the area we finally came here for a nice date night out. Service was great, ambiance was nice, food was delicious. read more

Such a great space, so laid-back and chill and everything was fantastic. Service was so friendly and amazing... Made sure that we were completely comfortable. Had everything we needed many times but not overbearing. Food and drinks were delicious. We loved the smoked trout spread and the green bowl was just fantastic. read more

The Junction was a great time!! We came to Roscoe on a cold rainy weekend and this place ended up being the PERFECT warm cozy retreat we were looking for! The food was excellent, the service was fast and friendly, and they had a variety of beers from local breweries!!! read more

This might just be my new favorite restaurant in Sullivan County. Came for dinner on a Monday night and it was popping - of course, it's just about the only game in town, but it also happens to be great. (One of the owners worked at Employees Only, which is one of the better bars in NYC.) My party of 4 waited about 20 mins for a table, and I tried: + Frozen dark and stormy cocktail + Fried artichoke hearts + Smoked trout spread + Junction burger + Fried chicken sandwich dipped in honey + Venison ragu + Blue plate special (Mondays only) - shepherds pie + Chocolate mousse The drink was amazing, and the top dishes were the trout spread, burger and ragu. Dessert was also great. Definitely will be back! read more

Cool place in a neat little Catskill town. Small, simple menu - but really good options. I think any place that sells pimento cheese with fried crackers is legit. We got the whipped goat cheese app and the chicken grain bowl. Both were really good and hit the spot. Service was a bit slow, we waited a bit for our food. read more

We stopped here for dinner mostly because it was walking distance from the hotel we stayed at after visiting the site of the Woodstock Music Festival (groovy!). Menu was limited, but what they did have was inventive and delicious! For example, I had a fried green tomato BLT. The tomatoes were coated in a wonderfully spicy crust with a ramp remoulade. Yum! Also a decent selection of draft beers and specialty cocktails. Prices were quite reasonable and the service was good. read more

This was a tough call as there there was only two people working both the bar and the restaurant the night we were there, despite the fact that it was the night before a holiday weekend. The two women were really hustling but it was frustrating not having a dedicated bar person. We sat at the bar and had to wait quite a long time for the bar to be cleaned and for someone to take our drinks/food order. The food also took some time to arrive. On the other hand, they have an interesting cocktail list and the food was excellent when it arrived. I can particularly recommend the trout grain bowl. It was perfectly balanced with lots of flavors. I was also coveting the trout dip someone beside me was eating. After all, what else would you eat in Trout Town but trout! read more

What an amazing addition to Roscoe's food scene! Congrats to Misty on the opening of this inviting and cool atmosphere restaurant with a small but wonderful menu with creative fun cocktails to boot! Had the trout dip with fried saltines, the fried chicken sandwich (fantastic) and the grain bowl (also fantastic)! Looking forward to many, many more memorable meals at The Junction! read more

The Junction - Acid factory - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Roscoe, New York

My partner and i were in Roscoe, and found The Junction on Yelp. I'm so glad that we happened upon it and gave it a try! The dining area is not huge, but they make great usage of the space. We were in on a Monday and the bar area was full of happy patrons while the dining room stayed steady. We each had a drink and enjoyed them. I had the Boot Scootin' Boogie while my partner preferred the Acid Factory. Our food came out relatively quickly. He had the blue plate special - a Caesar wrap with their housemade fried chicken and waffle fries. I opted for the veggie burger with cheese. The burger fell apart a little but it tasted amazing - easily my favorite local veggie burger. The fries were crisp and the perfect amount of salty. The menu may feel a little smaller, but the food is all amazing. We capped off our evening with the bread pudding, which was an excellent choice. Dense and chewy without being overwhelming sweet, I would happily eat this every Monday night. The service was also excellent. Our server was helpful, friendly, but without being intrusive. It sounded Iike a local table came in often and had good rapport with the staff. read more

Wow! You do not feel like you are Roscoe once you step inside, but feel free to take your drink back on Main Street and sit on the patio. Came in for Father's Day and shared the smoked trout dip and pickled seasonal veggies, both could have been reordered and eaten as our main course. Upward Brewry on tap and the cocktail list to cover anyone's liking. I had the chicken sandwich and my brother went with the burger. Honestly unless I am driving back to NYC this is the place for dinner before or after hitting the river. read more

SO happy to see some new life added to Roscoe! A bit expensive considering the area but to me it wasnt pricey and so worth it. Owners are such hard workers and try to chat with most tables. Inside is adorable and food was so tasty! Total bill for us came to $130. Including tax, tip, and our full meal. We each had a cocktail, 3 apps and split the chicken sandwich. Everything had great flavor and definitely the tastiest food in town. If id say anything negative, i wish the chicken on the chicken sandwich was thicker and a little more toppings-it was fried to perfection though. And no egg shell for beef tartar even though its fun and interactive for guests. 1000% will be somewhere we stop every time were in town. Highly recommend!!!! read more

Jewel in a junk yard? The entire stretch of NY Highway 17 has seen better days. No idea why NYC money has not discovered this area. Better for it. Sort of. You could tear down 95% of a 50 mile stretch and start over. Obviously, there was a "hey-day," as broken-down gems are all over, alas way past saving. Then you stroll into Roscoe and find the Orvis shop, Trout Town Flies, two breweries, a Trader Joe's like market, and the Junction (among other local fare). There is also a boutique distillery in town. The Junction is very nice. Small town rustic meets big town quality. Friendly staff. Small but amazing menu. Craft cocktails. Locally brewed beer of course. I had the Pimento Cheese with Crackers and the Mussels. Insanely good after a day on the river. Washed it down with a local brew. What could be better. read more

Put them on your must go to destination! They exemplify great food, drink and what you will just love about their hospitality and that of Roscoe! Awarding app fried artichokes and chicken thigh sandwich both capped with hot honey! This wife and husband duo are friendly and you become family after your fist conversation. I'd say run don't walk and discover your new happy place read more

The Junction - The Dry Dropper - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Roscoe, New York

I'll start by saying that I am a recent transplant to this area from the Philly region, and I am now a local here. I prefer mountains and peace and quiet, but I'm still grateful for a good place to eat once in a while. Of the 5 or 6 times I've been to The Junction, I only have one complaint and one complaint alone, but it's a complaint I have every visit: their customers are egocentric, self-important tourists from New York who think their oversized flannel shirts and Carhartt beanie hats make them woodsmen...and we all know that people from New York city glom on to any possible identity that mimics a lifestyle they could never create for themselves, and then they ruin it for everyone else who actually lives that way for real. I digress... the restaurant itself is a cool little bar and food establishment, with a concise normal menu of great local foods: venison ragout, a terrific Caesar salad, and some good drinks and deserts. Tight but cozy setting, wood stove, dark wood floors- the whole shit. But tonight, there was a "pop-up" led by some lazy shlub who lives in Brooklyn and who, by the looks of this pop-up menu, seems to have ZERO original culinary ideas in his head at all. I paid $24 for a f*cking fried Chicken cutlet on a bed of shredded iceberg lettuce which had some capers and "milanese" sauce on it. That was the whole dish. This tactic of ripping off the concepts that Anthony Bourdain talked about for 20 years, and that Dave Chang already did 15 years ago is so f*cking rapacious and tired and it really needs to go away. This place clearly doesn't want the locals in the area to enjoy their establishment- only the entitled, spoiled rich kids from New York would ever accept paying that price for something I've been making just as well as this pop-up moron did since I was 7 years old. "Tastykake Chocolate Kandy Kakes are SO GOOD MAN, I DONT CARE WHAT MICHELAN STARRED CHEFS ARE DOING, THEY'LL NEVER BE BETTER THAN TASTYKAKE!...Chang and I are the same, man, I LOVE KFC MAC AND CHEESE TOO! So that's why I'm gonna BLOW PEOPLE'S MINDS and make my version of a Chocolate Kandy Kake and sell it for $12. So what if they can get a box of them at the gas station for $4.99, these stupid bumpkins just don't get, like, the MEMORIES that a Tatstykake evokes." I could keep going like this for a while but the bottom line is I like this place normally, but I don't know why they brought this "pop-up" to sell his average food for stupid prices. New York people suck, always and forever- its not my opinion, it's just a fact that everyone else in the country knows to be true. Hopefully the restaurant will be back to normal soon... read more

1 star for no experience because they turned our party of 8 away. We walked in excited to eat here as the menu looked delicious but they were not thrilled to serve a large party. read more

Amazing little place in Roscoe!! We sampled almost everything on the menu and were not disappointed. Craft cocktails and local beers were also exceptional. The smoked trout spread and pimento cheese were a great starting point, served with deep fried saltines...you can't go wrong. We also tried the beef tartare, the fried green tomato BLT, the fried chicken sandwich and the grain bowl, all of which are highly recommended. Can't wait to get back again, Aaron and Misty have a great thing going here!! read more

Burger is always fantastic and the go to. Great hospitality and lovely people behind the bar. Always enjoy visiting the Junction.

We were ten hungry gentlemen and they turned us away! They wouldn't serve us! We wanted to crush dozens of burgers and beers and they said "no thanks" to our dollars. We even tried to split into two parties of five and that wouldn't work either. Disheartening to be told our money wasn't green... read more

Excellent food, crafted cocktails, hospitality professionals, cozy, Monday Blue Plate specials

First time here - was highly recommended by my son (their burger) which did not disappoint as well as their chicken sandwich - both were delicious! The special starter, Shishitu Pepper was outrageous! Service is friendly. Our only complaint? It was a "packed house" & when we got there no outside tables available; no one wearing masks and with no need to show our vaccine documentation (we are fully vaccinated) we felt very exposed with a group seated inches from us. We're used to NYC standards, and the virus is at 1.1% vs. the 4% in the rest of the state. We will put off coming back for the time being. read more

Great burger. Delicious fried chicken dipped in hot honey. Get the smoked trout dip with fried saltines. Cool spot. Will certainly be back.

What a gem this place is. Great atmosphere. The hosts are super friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Also a fantastic crowd They serve food until 10:30pm which is great for the fishers. Their burger is to die for. Small menu as they have just opened (June 2021). It will expand apparently. The chef is a genius and loves what he does. If there were a six star option I would give that rating. I can't speak too highly about this new place read more

Great dinner, trout spread was delicious. Loved the hot honey chicken sandwich. Burger hit the spot

This is a real gem in Roscoe, which has some really great new spots these days. The menu was excellent, as was the ambiance. The owners are fun and chatty, and have really nailed it. read more

Had a wonderful meal here on last Saturday evening. We shared the Shrimp and Buffalo Mozzerella appetizer. For dinner I have the Fried Green Tomato BLT and my son and our guest had the Burger. Everything was delicious. Our waitress was extremely helpful. The atmosphere in the restaurant is great. It's a wonderful addition to Roscoe! read more

Roscoe needed this spot as badly as I needed a great spot for cocktails and delicious grub. The junction boasts of charm, character and the perfect touch of catskill local culture. Hospitality from Misty and Aaron showcase their love for Trout Town USA and bringing some of their fun traditions of Brooklyn. Like the restaurant's name - it's the perfect junction of the two. Highly recommend the Acid Factory cocktail which is the best spicy margarita I have ever had in the Catskills. It does not disappoint! Also thrilled to find healthy and tasty options on the menu. The salad bowl is great in portion size - doesn't skip out on the greens or the fixings. And if you're into trying something more protein oriented - Don't miss the fried chicken sandwich (to die for ) Thank you for this amazing experience. Can't wait to be back ! read more

This place caught our eye on the way back to the finger lakes. It's almost brand new and clearly has a strong local following The menu is small, which to us means they are to do it well. And they do! The local smoked trout spread was great and the fried spiced saltines were unique and an excellent accompaniment. We both had the burger, which was crispy and tasty. Folks next to us had the chicken sandwich & salads. Those got 2 thumbs up too! Because we were still a couple of hours from home,we did not sample the cocktails, but again they looked good and other patrons assured us they were wonderful. It's a small place with limited porch seating, but it's a great stop along highway 17 in trout country! Definitely will recommend and stop in again! read more

So pro's - nice bartender, good drink, ambiance. We liked the fried artichokes and fries. Con - I asked the waitress if the chicken sandwich was spicy. She said she didn't think so and I ate a sandwich filled with a jar of cayenne. It was inedible! And when I told her - she laughed, rolled her eyes and was dismissive. How incredibly RUDE! Ruined the entire experience. To add, the flat burger had chunks of black pepper. I couldn't tell her that bec she walked away! Coarse black pepper should not be on a thin flat burger. A thick burger - yes - not on a flat one. It tasted fresh but I couldn't eat it. I love black pepper but it should only be coarse on a big burger or steak. My friends liked the spicy chicken but also said it wasn't for someone who asks if it's spicy and the waitress didn't even care that I order two entrees and couldn't eat them. The waitress needs an attitude adjustment and was the only person who was unkind in that town read more

Delicious food! Lovely and lively atmosphere. Hope they will add vegetarian dishes to the menu. Great new business!
