    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    We got an awesome booth with great views. Beer battered oysters and buffalo wings were on point, we had to have the oysters twice. Our main course ahi tuna tacos and poke bowls were good. The kids mac and cheese hit the tummy well. The best was the key lime torts! Really good! Thank you loved the experience!

    Pictured is a philly cheesesteak wrap with fries, and I have to say, it was super good. There was so much flavor in the wrap! Our server was so sweet. It definitely seemed like a good spot to hang out at.

    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.

    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 .

    ( 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.

Our Guinness even came with a thoughtfully drawn shamrock in the foam! We ordered wings with their Cooley's Sauce. It took a while for them to come out, but the flavor was great! I ordered a burger and my husband got the Reuben. Both were delicious! Looking forward to going to Cooley's again!

There is a bar as well as booth seating but no direction or indication of waiting to be seated or seating yourself. I didn't want to go unnoticed so I sat at the bar. (Most of the tables are past the entry way and bar area). There was a family group, a few couples and a group of guys playing darts off to the side. I sat there for more than five minutes before I was even acknowledged. I know this because I could see the Guinness Countdown to St Patrick's Day (down to the second) from my seat. There were 3 girls behind the bar but one seemed to be doing most of the bar work. As I put on my jacket to leave, I finally had the attention of one of the girls so I decided to take my chances and stick with my dinner plan. She got me a menu and asked for my drink order. There weren't any hard ciders on tap but they did have canned Awestruck (local). I noticed the fried pickle appetizer and asked her about it. She told me they were spears and very popular. I decided to take her recommendation and ordered them, along with a Cooley's Handmade Burger with sautéed mushrooms and swiss cheese. My pickle fries came out first since they were an app and I can tell you two things about them...the portion was huge and they were absolutely the best I've ever had! Not long afterward, my burger arrived and that was really tasty as well. I opted to bring the rest of my pickles home and I can tell you that even the next day, with the help of the air fryer, they were still tasting great! I am so glad I stayed!

MASSIVE disappointment. We won't come back. Their crust now is 1/3 the pizza. Too doughy, and thus not true NY pizza. Their pizza sauce is also now really bland. I ate a single slice and then said "meh, not worth eating more calories here because this pizza sucks". And every time before, I ate at least 4 slices of a large pizza. This visit almost ruined our trip to Cooperstown. It had been such an expected highlight, but now this is a crappy version of what it used to be under former management. Luckily we found another Cooperstown restaurant that satisfied us, or we wouldn't eat in town anymore. Sal's: your founder would be so sad to see what you've become. PS a full pizza charges $2.50 a slice. Your slices are $4.49. So you're ripping off your customer base. Raping your customers financially is not how you run a business.
