Stopped here for a bite to eat after hiking a mountain in the Adirondacks. A nice location, right across the street from the lake. A solid, but nothing special bar and grill. I had wings, which were pretty good and fries which were meh. I washed them down with an ice cold Utica Club. If you need to grab a bite to eat don't be afraid to stop at this rustic restaurant, just don't expect being blown away by it.

Any business that refuses to serve customers based on the color of their skin isn't worth my time or money. How shameful that in 2019, small minded, racist people are still in business! Personally, I hope this story goes viral and you see just how quickly word spreads that this business refuses to serve people of color.
You should hang your heads in shame as you hang your "out of business sign!"Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Aliyah R.NY, NY01Dec 30, 2022
Terrible service. 2 hour wait for food while we were the only table in the whole restaurant.

Cold beer and ok food. Was up for a week and decided to check it out. It was a Saturday around 9pm. The place looked closed until we saw the door opened around the side and the closer we got we could here music.
Seems to be a local hang out. I came to this conclusion by the amount of cars outside and the 3x the amount of people in the bar. The bar was on probably 15 total in the bar. Talk with a local and said it's a slamming hang out in the winter for snowmobiling. Well unfortanly it is summer.
The food was ok. I ordered wings. They were very chewy or rubbery or stretchy. Don't know just not what I'm used to.
The reason for 3 stars is because I could not tell if they were open and the lack of taste. And the locals did not care if u were playing darts they would walk in front as you shot your darts. Maybe they had to many to drink or maybe people don't play darts there and there not used to it.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Crimson C.Troy, NY02Jul 24, 2021
worst dining experience ever. came in with my family a few saturdays ago and was served by a blasé waitress who stood by the door talking with her coworkers the whole time instead of taking our orders. food took way too long to come out - an hour wait for some greasy crap. the establishment itself was dirty and musty. do not recommend!!

Pizza Joe........ what can be said. Doesn't matter what time you order, what time you're told, it's never ready!!!!! Ordered 2 hours in advance, and still 40 minutes late! I was informed Joe got started late... what a surprise
It's old now, Joe being constantly late opening up, and showing up...... pretty disrespectful for all the people that make the effort and drive out to him.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jennifer D.Batavia, NY5811May 29, 2017
Visited this place twice while on vacation.
Once I ate in the restaurant, Very casual. The fish fry was typical but good. Simple salad bar was an accompaniment. Roast beef was good comfort food
The second time we takeout pizza. This was very disappointing. We called ahead, was given 1/2 hour wait time. We arrived at that time, and the waitress was abrupt, and didn't know about the order. Was told to pay at the bar- which was hopping at 5pm, which took about 5 minutes. Returned to aforementioned waitress, and was told to wait. Grabbed a couple of drinks (again with a wait) ,and settled in.
I noticed 3 pizzas leave the one kitchen (our order) but no one came to her us. After 10 minutes I hunted down the pizzas waiting in the other kitchen. I was a bit taken aback, at this point.
The pizza was very dissapointing. The crust was like a frozen one. Sauce was mediocre.
When I ordered, at 4:30, I was told that Pizza Joe's wasn't there until 5, but White Lake did do pizza, when I asked the difference, there was no clarity. Will never order it again!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Joseph C.Utica, NY6521Jul 8, 2020
Never again. Waited over an hour and a half for some fried garbage food with barely anyone in the dining room. Half the stuff we ordered they didn't have. The water had dirt at the bottom of the cups. Food sucked beer was over priced. Absolutely awful.

Absolutely terrible service. Food was good for those who actually received their orders. Did I mentioned the service was terrible? Seemed like a nice place but we were disappointed. Reasonably price if you get your order. Did I mentioned the service was terrible? Our waitress, was rude, forgot orders, never returned to see if everyone got their orders or needed anything else and appeared to need improvement in every area including personal hygiene. I am sure by the time we visit the area again she will have been fired so we will try it once more. Did I mention the service was terrible?
