8 Best American Restaurants near Potsdam

“Definitely a hidden gem in Potsdam. My husband and I had several excellent and delicious lunches. This is THE place to buy steaks. The steaks are exceptional fresh or properly aged. We purchased aged delmonico which was half the cost from Wegmans. We’ve now had multiple purchases of picanha beef. These picanha beef are most yummy and inexpensive beef. I highly recommend the place for meal or purchase meats.“

“It's a very busy place, it's in a beautiful location, it's upscale, the service is good, and they use top quality fresh ingredients. I really just stopped in because I heard they had good Brick Oven Pizza and good pizza is hard to find in Northern New York. It was definitely good and it was light. I had their version of a Margherita Pizza with Pepperoni added to it and I had them cook it well done. I ate the whole pizza. Nothing else left to say but make reservations and stop in.“

“Went there about a week ago for the first time. food took almost hr to get..my appetizer (irish nachos i think they were called) was massive more like a meal but sooo good. For meal I got the turkey sandwich wasn't really for me. Husband got hot wings which were more mild..service was ok...had to ask another waitress for straw and napkins because didn't see ours for a good 30m but will definitely go back.“

“Great food and great prices. Two of us walked away from breakfast with a bill of less than $15. The maple syrup for the pancakes is the real deal, not an imitation. The coffee is a step up from most diners. This new diner in town is worth checking out.“

“Perfect place to grab a bagel in Potsdam NY! Service is fast, and the prices are decent for a bagel shop. The bagels are good, and the sandwiches are great. Makes coming here over dunkin or Stewart because they are super unique flavors.Recommend the chicken bacon ranch! It is super filling, I usually split it with another person. The portions sizes definitely make the prices better.Looking at 10-12 for a sandwich, so going rate. Under 5 for just a bagel with cream cheese.Warning, they do have limited selection mid day. We happen to come right after a rush, so they had some of the flavors missing. Once we left they had fresh bagels for the afternoon. So just don’t time if bad if you’re looking for the more popular flavors such as everything.“

“A hidden gem in Potsdam! Amazing list of draught beer along with an inspired menu and beautiful presentation. Ahi tuna Nicosie salad, Cajun seafood chowder, and a Meier's Creek Velvet Fog IPA made for an amazing lunch. The modernized rustic atmosphere was impressive!“

“The greatest Reuben sandwich I've eaten came from Eben's Hearth.Context: I had an obsession with Reuben sandwiches as a kid and into highschool. I would order them wherever I'd go if it was on the menu.I'd get one after school 5 days in a row if I had the money. Unfortunately I didn't know the superior sandwich was located here all along or my after school destination would've been Eben's Hearth.Things that make their Reuben the best:1) Swiss not provolone.2) Russian not Thousand Island.3) The marble rye is actually toasted with a light crunch to it and NOT soggy at any point during my meal (I'm looking at you arby's).4) The corned beef itself was the biggest surprise to me instead of multiple layers of deli-sliced corned beef it seemed like it was shredded perhaps even slow cooked corned beef roast pulled apart into small strands, which is perhaps the best alteration as it prevents you from accidently pulling half of your sandwich out on the first bite if you don't cleanly bite though it which is all too easy with corned beef.Staff:The waitress was great she could have set the standard of what a great waitress is.The cook/chef made everything perfectly no complaints on anything even minutely.The Atmosphere:It was excellent it wasn't trying to be anything it's not, I appreciated the decor it reminded me of restaurants I've been to and enjoyed in the south. I especially appreciated that the lights weren't blinding, and it was rather quiet and peaceful inside.“

“Our party of five loved each and every dish that we ordered. The server was excellent! He was very accommodating and we have a family member with a wheat allergy and he took great care to make sure she was safe. The sorbet palette cleanser and the chocolates at the end of the meal were a nice touch. The decor is very homey and comfortable. We have two children attending college in the North country and have found the dining choices in the area very limited. This place is a gem!“
