Love their beet burgers!! My go to selection also their staff is friendly and professional. Great choice for some eating pleasure read more

We were seated quickly, and our server started off strong--she was friendly, attentive while taking our order, and offered great suggestions. She offered to bring out a couple dipping sauces for our fries, and I asked for the bourbon jelly, which she was willing to do. That initial interaction set a great tone. The food itself was very good--both burgers were delicious. Unfortunately, after we placed our order, the service dropped off completely. We waited about an hour for our food, with no check-ins, no water refills, and no acknowledgment of the delay, even though our server walked past our table multiple times. At one point, I had to get up and find someone to talk to. I asked a man near the front for a manager, explained we had been waiting an hour, and pointed out our table. No one ever came over afterward to follow up. We were later told there was a large party, which is understandable--but that's not something customers or servers can control. A simple check-in or acknowledgment would have made a big difference. Instead, we were told we "should have said something," despite no one coming to the table. At the end, we waited again for the check, and when my daughter calmly tried to explain our frustration, the server spoke over her and said, "I'm almost 50--I've been doing this since I was 17," which came across as rude and unprofessional. The food was good, but the lack of communication, attentiveness, and management involvement made this a disappointing experience. read more

Excellent service, our waitress was a hoot! Very good food. We all had some kind of steak, no complaints. Prob will go back again this week. Def put it on your list! read more

This place was great! A very cool environment, and perfect for teams and larger parties. The food was good, but the service was outstanding. This place is a machine, food and drinks were timely despite a full house and many large parties, including ours. Definitely worth a little longer drive from the Dreams park to bring a group here. read more

Fun atmosphere with a good selection of American favorites. I had the club sandwich, the break was crispy and the turkey, cheese and bacon were fresh. Hayley was our server and she was amazing. It's a great spot to grab a bit or a drink and watch a game. read more

The food was ok and the service was flat out, nonexistent. The bussers were there more than the server. I would say more, but there is nothing nice to say... read more

Our first night after check in at Dreamspark landed us here. I figured with the week just starting, it shouldn't be crazy. As we pulled in and there was ample parking, I know I was correct. Service was friendly and fast and everything was very clean. All the places around are very causal as they know you're most likely coming from a baseball game. We started with the chicken quesadilla and for dinner, I got the prime rib and my wife got a NY Strip. Quesadilla was a great start. Loaded up and prepared perfectly. The prime rib was nice and tender the the au juis paired perfectly. I also got a side of horseradish which pushed the whole meal over the edge in perfection. There was no room for dessert. A short drive from the complex. This needs to be on your radar. I had to send the kid a picture of me eating since this was his 2nd year in a row going because of his age and he knew what he was getting into, food wise. read more

Nice big restaurant, with area themes, baseball. We were seated quickly even though we were a group of 7. They are prepared for larger groups. Our server took our drink orders then our food orders. Giant Pretzel for appetizer was wonderful. Considering the large number of people at the restaurant, our meals came fairly quickly. Plate portions were large. Burger, Chicken and Fish sandwiches were thick and juicy. The only negative thing I have to say, although the nachos were good, they were also cold. Cheese had already cooled down. Still a very good experience. read more

We came on a Saturday, was sat right away around 8pm when went. They have onsite parking. The night prior we drive past and they were packed and had people in an overflow parking lot. They have outdoor seats to enjoy a beer or a drink if you'd like. Our server was nice, but not very attentive. The table next to us waited over 15 mins just to get their check and the restaurant was not busy. The food was just okay. The burger had potential, but it was SO salty. It was so salty I couldn't even finish it. It was like eating a salt lick (or what I imagine that would be like). The cauliflower bites were okay. They had a sweet and sour type sauce on them that was good, would try with the buffalo next time. Would come back, but would try something else. They had a nice selection of salads I'd probably choose from next time. read more

We stopped at Upstate Bar and Grill on our way to the Baseball Hall of Fame Museum in Cooperstown and had an excellent lunch. Our group ordered ribs, a chicken Cobb salad, a French dip roast beef sandwich, and four specialty hamburgers. Everything was delicious, and the food quality was outstanding. What really impressed us was our waiter. He carefully listened to everyone's dietary needs, knew the menu well, and explained what each person could eat. He also followed up to make sure all of our orders were prepared correctly. The atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming. The manager and several staff members stopped by our table to check on us and make sure we were enjoying our meal, which made us feel genuinely appreciated. Everyone in our family thoroughly enjoyed their food. The biggest compliment we can give is that we would definitely return the next time we're in Cooperstown. In fact, if we make it back, I'm planning to order one of the steaks--they looked absolutely delicious. As someone from the city, I was also pleasantly surprised by how reasonable the prices were. Great food, friendly service, fair prices, and an enjoyable dining experience overall! read more

Visiting on a weekend, we were looking for someplace to watch football. Lucky enough to find the Upstate Bar and Grill. Bar seats 20 with 4 TVs, a large space outside, a pool table and dartboard area with TVs, and a huge dining area with a large TV. Bartender had a good sense of humor. Food was bar worthy although the folks sitting next to us got the prime rib, looked amazing. Had a great time. We would come back if we are the area. read more

Upstate Bar and Grill can get REALLY busy during peak season and times, but my friends and I were fortunate to have gone on a relatively quiet Thursday night. Our group is easy to please, but I have food allergies. The change of energy as I let our waitress know, Lynn was ready for war- openly admitted serving people with dietary restrictions is terrifying for her. She brainstormed with me, was patient with my questions, looked up ingredients AND helped me explain my allergy going forward. (Lynn also suggested getting business sized cards made for future restaurants.) So, for anyone with food restrictions, you WILL find food you can have. Gluten free options and substitutions are available. Veggie burgers are vegan, plus they have a burger option with a beet patty already offered on menu. (I got that without the bun.) Everyone else enjoyed their meals. Great selection of beer on tap was crisp. My partner got the maple bacon bourbon burger & our friend got the prime rib- delicious! read more

Nice bar and grill in town that can definitely get busy. Cool bar ambiance with fire pits out front for some drinks while waiting for a table, and a nice big bar with live music. It can definitely get busy on the weekends. We came in and were sat right away. Our sever treated us took our drink order and was back shortly for our order. The food came out pretty quick. The cauliflower bits were good, but could use a bit more flavor in the batter. The burgers were good, perfectly cooked but just a tad over seasoned. They were definitely a bit more on the salty side. Also my girlfriend wanted some range for both the fried and cauliflower, but after the food was dropped it was hard getting our server back to the table. Sure he was busy but didn't check back and the table next to us had dinner and finished as we were getting out dinner and waited for a while and we finished our dinner and they still hadn't seen our sever. The gentleman had to get up and get him and I took the chance to ask for our check as well. He was definitely busy but doesn't take much to just come by and see how everything was. read more

Upon walking in i was greeting with great service, we had a large party and they took us with ease. Tatiana was our server along with another gentleman and she was amazing! Out of all the places we've been she was the best waitress out of all the places. We were week 1 dreams park, and i would tell you to ask for her if you come in the next few weeks!! Food was good, service was better. Thanks Tatiana :) read more

Applebees of Cooperstown The service and the atmosphere was nice and clean. Bathrooms were also clean. The food though... The burger was great and the fries were also good. But the nachos were not blackened chicken nachos, the chicken was like microwaved chicken, definitely not what was advertised on the menu. The steak had no flavor but on a high note was cut great and cooked good. The beer draft list was fine. The $14 old fashioned was okay but they did add a cherry on top that DID HAVE A PIT INSIDE. I almost broke my tooth eating the cherry because of the cherry pit. Lastly I did pay with a credit card which they did add additional charge for using a credit card on the bill. Overall I would say it's the Applebees of Cooperstown. If you have nothing else it's not a bad choice but if you're a resident I definitely wouldn't make this a regular dinner spot. Definitely stick to having burgers and sandwiches when eating here. read more

( 3.5 Stars) Very casual all round restaurant & bar ( dates, couples, family, sports watching). Friendly enough staff. Plenty of parking. Located on the major road not far from the Baseball Hall of Fame. Typical burgers, salads, wraps, entrees. Average stuff. Large draft beer list. Not much in the area. Safe bet. Decent prices. read more

After a long and hot day at the baseball fields, we decided to try Upstate because we had seen their parking lot full every day...and now we know why!! The staff are friendly and the host was very welcoming of our large group. It is very family-friendly but also perfect for a date night. The food was absolutely amazing, I had the steak poke bowl, definitely a 10/10, and just could not stop raving about the flavors and how great it was...even the next day! I definitely will be visiting again before we head back to Florida. read more

Update is fun! The are great for big groups, the staff is well prepared. We were just a table of three, and we were seated very promptly during a gap in games at Dreams Park. The staff knows the deal, gets the baseball traffic, and for that reason alone, I highly recommend. The food just missed in a couple instance. Kids meals get five stars. The Buffalo chicken flatbread was just eh. Not a sweet potato crust like the menu advertises and too much sauce to enjoy the other toppings. I would not recommend the chicken tacos. They were decent, but it was a bad order. The salsa did not live up to menu advertised expectations. The summer salad was missing an ingredient from the menu, the protein-eggs, but if was fine. Our group would go back and recommend to try it when in Copperstown, but we would all order differently. Go for the staff and the service and just order a burger or sando. I bet you will be happy! read more

Super busy place but you seem to get seated right away . Ordered a bottle of reasonably priced wine and it was ok. Hubby ordered burger and fries and that seemed good. I like the brand that they put in the bun . I ordered Buffalo wings . They were good size not jumbo which is what I like . The wings were more Buffalo seasoned with no sauce and super greasy . I also ordered the drunken clams and they were good but the broth was super bland . I had no idea what was going on with that broth lol . The bread that came with it was good , kind of a charbroiled taste. For dessert, I got the strawberry cake and that was the highlight of my meal and I'm wondering if it's because it's not made there. Hmmm. Unfortunately, this place did not wow me enough for a second visit . read more

Good food. Terrible loud music. Dont eat here unless you like generic pop-country blasting your whole meal...

Completely taken by surprise at how good everything was on a dead weekday afternoon! The chef was on point, the waitress was so nice and attentive and the food was delicious- what else can you ask for. We ordered the bbq wings to start and it was so crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside. I would have honestly been happy eating it all by myself. My dad had the loaded chili and thoroughly enjoyed it. My mom ordered the salmon and said it was really good and I did a make your own burger. The portions were big and I didn't think I was going to be able to finish my burger but it was so good I ate every bite. I can't wait to go back when they have live music! The atmosphere is nice and I like the decor and quality seating that doesn't hurt my ass when I finally leave. Highly recommend! read more

We came with a giant group of families and they were very accommodating. They handled the whole group with great service. The steak was made to order and had a great flavor with the mashed potatoes. The Mac and cheese had a good flavor. Was not a fan of the ranch. read more

The ABSOLUTE WORST resturant visit I have EVER EVER had. Server Jessica was the biggest C U Next Tuesday. Started off fine, but then a table of 20 or so came in sat next to us. Jessica completely forgot about us. We had to stop her to even put in our entree order In. But tables next to us who sat 25min AFTER got round after round after round of drinks and apps. 1hr and 20min later and fairly annoyed we asked about our food. "Let me check on it". As we walked ourselves to find the manager. We decided to take it all to go as we didn't want to sit anymore. Jessica then mumbled something as she walked away calling us "Assholes" and that's when it went down hill. Thats when I turned and wouldnt ignore her entitled attitude anymore. Manager was made aware, blonde fat lady wearing a yellow shirt. She could care less but kept saying calm down. Then server Jessica then decided to slam the check onto the table while staring at my Brothers Girlfriend trying either intimidate her or fight her. Until my brother stepped in and told her to back off. Again, manager does nothing (fat blonde lady at the front doors). That was the icing on the cake. I could sit here and write an in depth detailed book about what happened, but it would bore most of you. After taking the food to go on a $200 check. Made sure Jessica knew she wasn't getting a single cent for a tip, the food was so OVER COOKED and bland for a $36 steak dinner. Most pathetic experience i have ever had. 2 of us are from out of town and 1 diner was local. Considering we are in the area 10 times a year. You just lost customers and will make sure anyone we know will never go there. As for the other reviews. The owner likes to say " all these negatives are from the same group of people". Well I wasn't with a grp so don't try to cover this it. Go back and check your cameras to see how much an "asshole" your server Jessica was with her attitude and entitlement. read more

Came here for dinner, and food was delicious. It's peak tourist season in cooperStown, but we didn't have to wait for a table. Service was great. My husbands burger was like a steak he said. Very flavorful and good. Fries were really good. I enjoyed my buffalo chicken wrap. Only con was the atmosphere was really busy. We were there for our anniversary and our seats were not private at all, we were seated next to families with kids. read more
