17 Best American Restaurants near Stanley

“Worth the drive off I-90!!My boss and I were driving back to Massachusetts from Buffalo. We were looking for a diner for breakfast, specifically. I saw the reviews for this place and pointed us in that direction. Halfway through the 15 or so minute drive, my boss asks "Where are you taking us?" I have to admit, I was wondering myself. It's a very "open" country. Lots of large fields and farms.We get to the place and we see a sign inside that says something to the effect of, "If you want fast, go to Denny's." That worried me a bit because my boss was already worried about our travel timeline but the place was packed, so I figured it had to be worth the wait.It took close to 10 mins to get someone to take our order but it was all absolutely worth it. Every single item we ordered was HOT off the griddle. My bacon was so hot (and I was so hungry) that I almost burned my tongue. The Belgian Waffle was perfectly cooked with just the right amount of strawberry topping. No more, no less. Everyone has their particular way of cooking home fries. Some places they're a bit soggy, others are over cooked. These were cooked to perfection. Crispy on the outside, soft in the middle, and well seasoned.The place isn't fast but hey, like they said, it's not Denny's. Their food blows the doors off anything I've ever gotten there. My boss declared "It was worth the drive off the highway! Our food was cooked where you could watch it being cooked and it was all excellent." She told me that if I wrote a review of the place to be sure to say it was worth the drive. Easily the best diner food I've had in some time and we spend a lot of time in diners.“

“Wow! I had heard a couple of people mention The Rusty Pig and how good their BBQ was. They were not lying. I had the bacon-wrapped brisket meatloaf and the bacon, and the meatloaf literally melted in your mouth and, at the same time, exploding with flavor. Kevin's famous chili was fantastic also. If you even like quality BBQ just a little bit, you will love this place and their high-quality food!“

“Stopped in for breakfast with family and was highly impressed! Best eggs benny I have had in a long time, seriously the best! The fried potato’s with peppers and onions hit the spot. All the food we had was excellent. 5 stars!!! We will be back. Check out Finger Lakes Plates. Great food, great service, our waitress was amazing. Finger Lakes Plates simply the best!!!“

“Kindred Fare is up there with the best meals we’ve ever had! The service was amazing, we had to ask for nothing. The menu was incredible with unique selections. We LOVED the pork rice bowl, poutine, and fish. Coming back here every time we are in the area and would recommend to anyone. Add this to your list!“

“Amazing place and awesome food“

“Beers are on point! Live music every week! Food menu great as well! Come down and grab a pint!“

“Great and quick service. My boss's husband owns the cafe :)“

“Patti, our server was engaging and funny. She made sure we had everything we needed, even spoons! She deserved a much larger tip than we left.“

“What a gem of a restaurant. Outstanding food and exceptional service from Ruby.Nice decor that was warm and intimate. There is a bar area and a large indoor seating area.There were so many choices on the menu but we decided to go with the specials. I selected the burnt brisket ends with mac & cheese and pickled veggies. Karen went with the flank steak and scallops.We both loved our dinner, well seasoned and cooked to perfection.If you are looking for fine dining with fresh ingredients, then this place is for you.I do recommend making a reservation. You wouldn't want to miss out.“

“One of my favorite places in Geneva, the drinks are so good and the bartends and security guard take really good care of you. This guy was really creepy the other night and they were so ready to step in and help out, so it’s very safe as well!“

“Everything is amazing. We love to stop whenever we are in the area. If you haven’t tried the strawberry shortcake sundae or seasonal apple crisp you need to. THE BEST!!!“

“One of the best places in town with an inviting, classy atmosphere, where locals Don and JoEllen Miller, the owners, have taken “family & friends” to a whole new level! They offer indoor seating in the bar area around a beautiful fireplace, or the front banquet room overlooking the beautiful Flint Creek waterfalls where many events take place. The tranquil outdoor patio and meandering seating under a canopy of trees is our favorite, where you can enjoy live music with dinner and friends. A great experience every time!“

“At Dana's Time Out you have an abundance of amazing food options too choose from, the wide spread menu is great tasting, great in presentation and suits all ages. The service is amazing as always, busy or not owner Dana Newman makes you her number one priority. The overall quality of this bar / restaurant is just excellent, nothing but great things too be said.“

“We love this place... it dosen't look great from the outside... but once you walk in, it still doesn't!! The people are great the customers and the staff alike and the food is fantastic!! It's a typical country townie bar with really really good food at reasonable prices just a great place to watch a game and just relax!! Definitely recommended and we will be back again and again!! And the turkey club sandwich is simply amazing!!“

“Very good food. Loved the atmosphere. Helpful and friendly staff. If you can serve a grilled cheese and soup lunch with a hot English breakfast tea I’m in“

“I want to say this place is a gem. It is super local type of a vibe but everyone was friendly. Stopped in after a day of wine drinking looking for a burger and fries. I was not disappointed by the food my partner and I got. The fries were the star of both our entrees. The bacon cheeseburger was perfect and tasted great. The tenders I got were cooked perfectly and the honey mustard with them was perfect for soaking up wine. As this is a local establishment it was not my vibe but do I regret stopping there for a meal hell no. I will definitely come back when I am in the area again.“

“Small dining room. Mystery prix fixe menu. Appetizer, 3 course main, followed by dessert. If there's something you just can't stand or are allergic to, you can specify when you make your reservation. Our menu was bread and vegetables and a variety of spreads/dips, stuffed squid, lentil soup, venison, and egg nog with just made cookies. I can't remember all the details of each but I thought everything was very good. My fiancée and I both thought the soup was the best dish. I selected the "baller" wine pairing. You can wait and add the wine pairing later, if you're unsure of what you want when you make the reservation. All of the wines were very good, but the Turley red Zinfandel was superb. I can't remember the name of the champagne but it was also excellent. Every prix fixe menu I've had has been terrific. This one was too. Highly recommend.“
