Had a good experience with the fish fry and fried mushrooms. As others have said, their reliance on single use plastic prevents me from wanting to go often, but I'm excited to stop by in the summer and sit by the lake. The crowd was a lot more college/frat oriented than I expected, but everyone was respectful. There were families there as well.

This place serves its burgers on fresh French bread, which is a subtle, yet excellent twist on a standard burger. For that reason, myself and everyone I know always loves it here. Since Covid, you pick up your food at the bar, and bring it back to your table, but it works. Overall, their burgers (even the burger salad) has been consistently outstanding for as long as I can remember.

I've been here many times over the years and always had great food and good times. However, in November 2023, the food was great, the service was good, BUT I was very disappointed in the atmosphere. All the food and drink is served in disposable containers, that you have to retrieve yourself at the bar yourself. There is absolutely no wait service at your table. It's like going to Burger King, but more expensive. Why would I want to eat my food out of a white to-go box and my drink out of a plastic disposable cup while looking out at the beautiful lake? I can't even imagine the amount of trash created by severing everything with disposables. Maybe I'm old and grumpy, but I like to eat my food off a real plate and not feel like I'm at a Fast-Food joint.

Dinner/lunch with a view. The best burger in the finger lakes. Can take a while to get food so order ahead or grab a beer and enjoy the view.Kid-friendliness: Great game room and delicious food.

Once a cozy , friendly place I often went to for decades.This time I asked for a table for myself and two visitors. The guy at the counter rudely said "the menu is on the wall, order and pick up here". Can we sit downstairs? "The menu is on the wall, order and pick up here". Turns out there is no longer waitstaff, you find or share a table, everything is plastic (utensils, cups, dinner boxes), the salad is soggy and dressing terrible, the food not close to its previous incarnation and they don't even inform you when your order in the plastic bag is ready. I was embarrassed I took friends there and will never return. The only good thing at this fast food location was that they didn't ask if everything was O.K. I miss the Pines!

If you want a sit down dining experience, you won't find it here...We stopped in for dinner and found a table sit at to wait for a server. We waited for awhile and finally went up to the bar and asked the female bartender, "Are we supposed to order here?" She snidely replied, "Umm...yeah!" Then asked, "What do you want??" I replied, "Idk...What do you have?" She then rolled her eyes and said, "The menu is over there!", while pointing to the wall. So, we looked at the "wall" menu and then, put in our order. Finally, they called my name, so we had to go back up to the bar, and our order was in to-go containers and we found a table to sit at, but didn't have any silverware or napkins. So, my Husband went back up and she told him where they were. The food was mediocre and the service was practically non existent...Honestly, you would get better service from a cafeteria. We will never spend another dollar at this establishment!

What a great little find we sat outside on a beautiful day with views of the lake had a wonderful steak sandwich and my wife had a crab sandwich. Nice selection of beer friendly staff very reasonable prices nice people to sit with as well. Beer was served in their own special plastic glasses, which we were allowed to keep a very nice souvenir.
