Barbeque Restaurants near Ilion

“This is an Upstate NY classic summer time eatery! They are an outdoor only restaurant with either takeout or outdoor dining, so they are only open in the summer into early fall when the weather is nice. This location does have a pavilion to eat under and a small enclosed area you can eat in, but it does get extremely hot in that room with no a/c. Their burgers and hotdogs are classic, with their buttered and toasted buns. They are a smaller “smashburger” style patty, but the prices are very low and affordable, so it’s not expensive for a smaller burger. Their crinkle fries are absolutely amazing, I’ve never had a fry like it that is as crispy as theirs! The ice cream isn’t my favorite so I normally skip that and just get soda or bring a bottle of water with me. I definitely recommend this place to anyone new to Upstate ny or traveling through in the summertime!“

“Great food nice, atmosphere and very pleasant waitresses. I’ve never been to McGill’s started going a month ago and now it’s one of my favorite places“

“This MF cooks the sh out of barbecue. Solid portions and meal options for all ages. Rare that he is actually open at this location though so look for him at events like the Herkimer Downtown ChowdownKid-friendliness: Earned a nickname from my kids.“
