We stopped in for breakfast. This is obviously a very popular spot, because it was busy. They have a smaller, indoor dining room, but they also have outdoor dining as well. Everyone was friendly. My partner had the cheese omelette with rye toast. The omelette did not come with potatoes, but she did not mind at all. She liked the omelette very much, and she said that the rye bread was fabulous! She gave me a small piece, and I agree. It was delicious! I had the breakfast burrito with scrambled eggs, potatoes, and bacon. It also came with salsa and sour cream on the side. The salsa was very good, it had just a tiny "zip" to hit. They were a great addition to the burrito. The only thing, I would say about the burrito, was that the tortilla was not heated at all. It was like they took the tortilla out of the wrapper, and just put it around the food. It was a little disappointing, but overall it was still very good. My friend had Earl Gray tea, and I had coffee, which was delicious. Plus, they kept my cup full. She said that they used a good brand tea Prices were very reasonable. One thing about the place, because it is so popular, when they get busy, it is best to have patience. From the time we walked into the time we got our food it was almost a half an hour. It wasn't bad, we just visited amongst ourselves. Also, my partner kept admiring all of the beautiful photographs on the wall. It's a nice space. Apparently, the person who supplies the food for the restaurant is the photographer that took the pictures. Overall, a good meal. Thank you. read more

Great service, food, and convenient to Wilmington. I was there a year ago and returned last week because I was happy with what I had last year. The waitress was very nice and cheerful. read more

Went there tonight for their lobster special. Chef Tim did not disappoint. Tender and sweet served with red potato,Cole slaw and corn rib. If you haven't tried corn ribs, you must try their delicious. Definitely more than a 5 star review. Definitely recommend read more

It was an okay place. It sucks that they are not open all day. Took a long time to sit us . We got there and we told we needed a reservation , even though place was empty the entire time we were there. People started coming in without being asked if they had reservation (they only asked us). Maybe they're locals and go there a lot, but if that's policy, it's should apply to everyone, but whatever. Food was okay. We were hungry and only place close by the cabin. read more

Stopped on our way to Whiteface, Great breakfast and the staff was very nice. I recommend

They are currently closed (this is January 13). No sign on website and the phone doesn't work either. We drove out hoping to grab breakfast before skiing at Whiteface and found it closed. Now assuming every restaurant along this road is currently closed because the Hungry Trout was closed for dinner Monday too without any info. read more

Decent breakfast - basic options for good prices in a no frills diner atmosphere. The staff and service are great and we applaud the management for assembling a great team. For a basic breakfast, you can't go wrong here. By the way, I didn't order the pancakes, but the members of our party who did raved about them. They were huge (the pancakes...not the other members of our party...). read more

We wanted a quick lunch and it was late in the afternoon! We stopped in and had a great lunch and fantastic service! Definitely recommend!

Pleasant little place for breakfast in Wilmington. We ate outside and were surprised by a sign on chalkboard inviting us to grab a coffee and menu. They have WiFi. It felt like we were welcomed old friends. Food was good. If you want to be treated like royalty, find a stuffy, overpriced place to eat in Lake Placid. If you want to feel like family and enjoy a relaxed atmosphere (dogs are welcome on the patio, too), eat here. read more

Up a Creek Restaurant - Quaint, tasty, will return! - American Near Me - Wilmington, New York

See all

Cute side of the road gift shop and restaurant. Service was good and they have food like tacos, chicken tenders, sandwiches and such. Open during COVID for outside seating (order inside). read more

I have to admit to being grumpy when I arrived at this restaurant. However, for a busy Black Friday weekend where most things were closed, we arrived to a busy but accommodating restaurant. There were 9 people in total in our party including 4 kids. Our orders ranged from the tuna melt, burger, shrimp basket, sandwich of the day, and some others. The sweet potato fries were fried to perfection. Everything tasted good and although it took awhile to get our orders, it was worth the wait. read more

I stopped here with my sister and her family. All of the workers just stared at us when we walked in. We waited an extremely long time for a couple of sandwiches, and the tiny restaurant only had eight other customers who already had their food. My sister got the French dip sandwich, and it looked like a roll with some dried up leather. read more

Up a Creek Restaurant - a half eaten sandwich and a cup of coffee - American Near Me - Wilmington, New York

Frenchfries were good and waitress was nice and that's the two stars. The food wasn't good! Hot turkey sandwich on non toasted bread made it soggy with the salty packaged brown gravy on it! The turkey was thin slices of sandwich meat! Not worth the money! read more

Food was good but you better not be in a hurry. Young waiter was pleasant but hadn't a clue!

Good food, local place. Didn't answer phone when called to see if open. Drove by and it was.

Fine place for a no-frills and very reasonably priced breakfast. Friendly service. Delicious and fluffy pancakes, but they deserved some real maple syrup (reason for 3 stars only). Attached gift shop for local goods. read more

Great spot on 86. The roasted cauliflower sub was a great idea. Raisins, onion in a great dressing on lightly toasted bun.

We wanted a place for breakfast that was open early so we could get started on our hike early. They open at 6:30 so we decided to give them a try. We were very satisfied with their food and service. We will go back when we are in the area. read more

Friendly, no-frills diner with a nice outdoor seating area, serving breakfast and lunch. Worth a stop if you're in the area.

Food is terrible. The place is cute and located on the side of the road with a gift shop attached. The server was friendly and for those 2 reason they get a star and I can't give less then 1 star. I do think atmosphere is important but the most crucial part of going out to eat is the eating part. The food was horrible. I hate to say that but it is true. The biscuit and gravy was canned gravy and my husband swears it was an English muffin But it was just a hard biscuit. The eggs appeared to be pre-packaged like A fast food place would get for their breakfast sandwiches it was round and ugh, a few of us ordered the eggs scrambled with cheese, which was a round bunch of pre cooked eggs and a slice of cheddar cheese barely melted microwaved on top. I mean they could have broken up the egg to make it seem like they were fresh. The absolute worst part of everyone's breakfast were the inedible hash browns they were practically raw and you could not even put a fork in them. I called the waitress over to tell her we did not want to wait for them to cook them because they were soo under cooked it would have taken a while and food was barely hot as it was. She offered to substitute but we declined so she comped our coffees and hot cocoa. I do not recommend this place unless that get a new cook and some fresh ingredients. There is potential because it is a cute place. Sadly sadly disappointed! read more

Friendly, attentive and quick staff. Food is home-cooked and delicious. Hours are uniquely generous compared to other offerings in town. Nice place. Family friendly. Homemade hash was great. Eggs Benedict was also super. Great gift shop next door. read more

Visiting from New Jersey, after our first night, my boyfriend and me ate there. I had a veggie-cauliflower​ sandwich. It was delicious, with raisins, garlic, and French dressing. The employees are just as nice as they can be. I had questions about area, and we're helpful. An older woman told me about a wildlife refuge around the corner, that had an event. I'm an animal lover, so I was happy to go!! I highly recommend going there if it's first time visiting this area, nice friendly locals! read more

We loved this place! We had breakfast 4 days here during the Presidents' Day weekend before hitting the mountain. The decor was outdoorsy which we love. They had a great gift shop to browse while we waited for our food. Breakfast was delicious every day. Nadine was so friendly and helpful and let us know about the wildlife rescue in the area- which was great to see! She even took a liking to our special needs son, which melted my heart! We will definitely come back in the future. Was a great find! read more

Really small portions, fries were greasy and almost burned. I would not recommend it.

We were on our way to Whiteface Mountain and decided to stop for lunch. I have to say we are very happy we did! The service was EXCELLENT as the owner and waiters were super friendly. The menu was well priced and had something for everyone. I was with a party of 6 and everyone enjoyed their food. Portions were not huge but were enough to fill you. Very pleased with this gem! This is a must go to. read more
