We were in the area and decided to check this place out. It's a cute little bar restaurant that looks like it could seat about 30ish people in the inside. We chose a table outside to enjoy the weather. The bartender seated our party of 7 and took our drink order. He was super personable and knowledgeable. Most of us ordered something from Coop Cocktails list, like the Ginger Snapple, Bourbon, A. Palmer, and Kentucky Mule. The drinks were delicious. I am sad that we weren't there to try the food. A lot of the food being served looked delicious. I would definitely come back to this place again if visiting the area.
Great food and drinks, mediocre service. Grabbed lunch here with my family on a toasty summer day. The good. The outdoor seating area is a nice spot to enjoy a summer day in the village downtown. The food was fun and tasty the corn fritters and Brussel sprouts were awesome starters and the Nashville hot chicken was seriously spicy. The cocktails were also really good, The bad. They don't allow dogs (other than service animals), which I understand but as a outdoor seated lunch spot in a small town it feels like the kind of place that would. The service was also a bit suspect. They put in the wrong order and came out with the wrong thing and despite the limited number of tables waitresses brought us food for another table on two occasions. The kitchen was quick to get the corrected order out and the staff were friendly and let us have the wrong order free of charge, but it was not a well oiled machine. I would go back on another light business day but I might think twice if the place looks crowded.
Phenomenal whiskey spot in beautiful downtown Sackets Harbor. Probably the biggest selection of Whiskey & Rye north of Albany, NY. We ventured in on a random Wednesday for some afternoon cocktails & were sure glad we did. There is a new menu (pictures attached to this review) with lots of indoor & outdoor seating. We didn't try the food but watched a flurry of it come out of the kitchen, each more tempting than the last. Patricia our bartender was pleasant & extremely attentive. We will be back for sure.
The place is a quaint little restaurant with a few tables inside and some more in a heated tent. We arrived and were greeted right away for a table and told they could seat us outside. I had noticed a couple tables inside were finishing up and requested an inside table and we could wait at the bar. Though the bar did seem a little busy not one of the four in our party were greeted by a bartender or told they'd be right with us. This lasted the entire time we waited for the table. One of the servers grabbed us for our table, gave us our menus, and said someone would be over shortly. After several minutes, and still no waitress/waiter the waitress who sat us noticed and went to tell someone. Eventually, someone was told they had our table, I noticed a disgust in her expression before she came over. Finally, after 20 minutes since arrival we were able to place our drink orders. Once they were delivered, the waitress took our orders and we never saw her again. My wife ordered the pork belly, and I ordered the hand breaded chicken tenders. The pork belly was ok, a bit under seasoned and probably could have cooked a little longer as it was not as tender as we had hoped. Overall, I'd give it a 3.75/5. If the chicken tenders were hand breaded then they have mastered both the frozen tenders look and taste. Score for the tenders... 3/5. Ambiance 4/5 Service 2.5/5 Food 3/5 Total 3.1/5 Disappointed enough that even my review is disappointing to read.
Our server was very pleasant and attentive. Great service and atmosphere. Nice outdoor seating area with accommodations to keep the birds away.
I honestly had high hopes because we've heard people talk up the Whiskey Coop, and I LOVE whiskey! But, my wife and I were thoroughly disappointed overall. The outdoor seating was nice, but the lack of service left us always having to flag down the servers. It took about 15-20 mins after we were seated to get drinks ordered. Additionally, it took about 45mins for our food to come out of the kitchen. I ordered the Nashville Hot chicken sandwich and sweet potato fries. The chicken was ok but the breading and buns were so soggy by the time it got to us. You can also see how burned the sweet potato fries came served to us as well. It was very disappointing. My wife originally ordered something else but received the chicken sandwich instead. She didn't want to wait another 45mins to get her correct order, so she ate it any way. She said the chicken and buns were also soggy and bland. For the price of what we paid for this meal, I expected higher quality of service and attention to detail with the food. We unfortunately will not be returning.
The vegan chicken is inedible. We had dinner there last year and I foolishly ordered the chicken and waffles. Both looked as though they were pulled out of the freezer and warmed. It was horrible. I let the staff know and it was removed from the bill. I decided not to post a review thinking it was a one off thing. When we returned to Sackets this year we ordered take out hoping for a better experience. The family really enjoyed their Wac Arnold burgers medium well. This time I ordered The Martha avoiding the vegan chicken. On The Martha there was very little of the ribbon cut Romaine, absolutely no cilantro or dates. The salad was so sad. One family member had a Vegan Dirty Bird and had the same experience. The vegan chicken was horrible. She described it as having been," in the freezer for 16 months and then being overcooked and thrown in a dehydrator. On the service side it isn't great. Last summer a manager was loudly complaining that a takeout order was missing their chicken and they wanted a refund. She went on and on it created a tense dining experience. This time it was likely the first day for the employee that helped us. They literally did not know where the bags where and did not pack the bags correctly. Literally if the bags were to be picked up the takeout containers would have been vertical. There were fries for all 4 burgers and yet no ketchup even with a 15% tip.
Headed back to the Whiskey Coop tonight for dinner with my hubs since he had never been there. I kept my original4 star rating but it was closer to a 3.5 this time around. Loved the service still and had a great waitress. The Whiskey sour and the bourbon flight my husband sampled were good. The flatbread with pickles and jalapeños was delicious. The sweet potato fries and regular fries also nicely prepared. Here is where a few things went wrong/were not impressed with: Husband ordered the Nashville hot chicken that I had gotten for him before to go and it came out as the regular. He got a side of the sauce but just wasn't the same. The cornbread was not good. I wish they would bring back the buttermilk biscuits! I got the Taj Chicken sandwich and was not impressed with the coconut curry sauce. Not thick and could have had more flavor.
Tasty food and cool interior. Service was quick and friendly as well. I will be back to try more.
Fried chicken diner with choice of boneless breast thigh or bone in leg I chose both boneless options which were moist ; and choice of 2 sides I chose the blue cheese coleslaw and mashed skinned in potatoes and chicken gravy. I've had blue cheese coleslaw before I can't say I tasted the blue cheese in this, wasn't bad just didn't taste it. The chicken was moist and flavorful; I did see that chicken and waffles was a very popular option. I had the guavarita as a cocktail very flavorful and throughly enjoyed it . Wednesdays are trivia night and a crowd was gathering. The service was slower and it took us about 20 minutes to even get a drink; so that took away from the experience as well as the waitress bringing a check out before we were done even thought there were plenty of free tables. In conclusion nice staff but lackadaisical.
The Berry Manilow sour. It is a fruited sour from Meier Creek and it is very good. Would highly recommend if you like sours. Joe was our server, and he was very attentive. It started raining while we were having our drinks outside, and Joe helped us bring our drinks in!enjoyed the background music as well.
Reviews are largely positive. People highlight the flavorful, varied food, generous portions, friendly staff, a welcoming atmosphere, and a strong drink selection.

We ended up here as a happy accident. We didn't realize the brewery was closed at this location and were thrilled to find this spot open instead. Upon entering we found a really cute place with tables and some bar seating. It has a cute and casual atmosphere with popular songs playing but in blue grass style. It wasn't busy because they just opened for the day so we were seated immediately. We were happy to see they carried beer from Wayland, a local brewery from our area. We ordered drinks and food and it came out quickly. Our server was attentive and was able to speak to all our menu questions to ensure we got what we needed. I ordered a class of Pinot Grigio and the Martha salad with grilled chicken. It was absolutely delicious, very flavorful and tasty. The cilantro and dates were a nice add on to a salad. The dates were a nice sweet contrast to the salty goat cheese. I was impressed that they had a lot of healthy and gf options that were wonderful and didn't feel like an afterthought on the menu. I am told the blackstrap bbq chicken sandwich was wonderful. The chicken and onion straws were nice and crispy. The bbq sauce wasn't overpowering but added a nice addition to the sandwich. The onion ring on top was a huge bonus and the fries were perfection, possibly the star of the show. I'd highly recommend if you are in the area. We hope to be able to come back another time soon. read more

Came on a Sunday in September, first day of their Fall brunch menu. We were completely satisfied with food, service and ambience. Being tourists to this part of the state, I have to rely on reviews and some were not that great. I beg to differ! We ordered chicken and waffles and were served two obviously homemade waffles and two extra crispy boneless chicken thighs (so, so good! And huge!), spicy Cajun butter and syrup. It was absolutely delicious! Also ordered the waffles with egg, bacon and ICE CREAM. Yea you heard me. A creamy delicious scoop of maple crunch ice cream on top of a waffle! The only thing I would suggest is to serve it with two eggs instead of the one. Oh, and bacon (2 strips, a 3rd would be great). Nice hot coffee and a vast selection of Bloody Mary's. Our server was delightful, serving our drinks and food properly. You should go. Watched other diners receive equally appetizing food and drinks. 5 stars!! read more

My wife and I traveled to check this place out because of the awesome vegan menu they have. I got the Vegan 5 Alarm, which was a yummy creamy delight. My wife got the normal Dirty Bird, which she enjoyed very much. The atmosphere was quaint and homey feeling. The servers were all very friendly and efficient. The only negative about this experience is that it gave me a tummy ache two days later. I did hear from other vegans that they potentially do not have a separate fryer for the vegan fries, so I'm thinking my tummy ache is from the fries (good tasting fries though). We shall return, but maybe I'll try another side instead. read more
Wow oh wow! This may be the best chicken I have ever had .... EVER ! I would come back JUST to have this meal again. Very calming atmosphere... lots of outdoor seating. HUGE Bourbon and Whiskey selection.... Large beer list as well. I went basic and just got the chicken tenders.... But it was so good !! read more

Okay, the food is AMAZING! Their chicken is juicy and delicious. Don't leave without tasting the chicken and waffles! Fried green tomatoes and fried pickle spears are perfect. Of course we had to try some whiskeys. They have vegan options as well read more
Wow! The Whiskey Coop is a welcomed change of pace for Sackets. The environment is cozy, and the list of whiskeys is endless. We ordered the Nashville chicken, popcorn chicken sandwich, flatbread, and goat cheese appetizer. Warning, the Nashville chicken is HOT. If you don't like very spicy, opt for something else. We love spicy, so we really enjoyed the sandwich. The fowl bird flatbread was great. I ordered it as my meal and it was more than enough. The goat cheese app had great taste. The red sauce was garlicky and delicious! We will be back! read more
