Grist Iron Brewing Company - Burdett

After a hike at Watkins Glen State Park, we stopped at this restaurant. The staff was extremely friendly and the atmosphere was great! We ordered pizza, salad, mac and cheese, and a flight of drinks. The mac and cheese were outstanding! The salad was good, but a bit pricey for the portion size.

We stopped at this restaurant a few times during our trip and decided to check it out again on our way back. As we entered, we noticed a beautiful outdoor seating area. We were greeted by a friendly young man who asked if it was our first visit, then told us about the food specials for the day - TATER-TOT Tuesdays! It is a self-seating place, but we were too hungry to choose a seat, so we went straight to the bar to place our orders. I ordered the cheese pizza and mac n cheese with brisket, while the rest of my group ordered nachos and beer flights. The flights were ready before we even made it back to the bar - the service was quick and efficient. About 10 minutes later, our food arrived. The pizza was delicious, the mac n cheese was creamy and the other dishes at the table were also very tasty. I didn't try any of the beer flights, but my group enjoyed them and said they would definitely come back. The outdoor seating area has a magnificent view and even a corn hole for extra fun.

This restaurant felt like a homecoming for us! The selection of craft beers was fantastic. I usually stick to a specific brand, but I discovered a new favorite here. The food was incredibly tasty and I highly recommend trying the bomber pizza. The staff was friendly and the views of the lake were spectacular. There were plenty of seating options both indoors and outdoors, and they even had cornhole games to play. The sunset here is flawless!

The bbq and beer were good! Overall, it was very expensive 60-$70) for two dinners and two beers. I would be fine with this amount but the sides with the bbq were not good. The slaw and Mac salad were very bland. Pulled pork nachos and pizza were decent. Wouldn’t be somewhere that I need to revisit.

A beautiful day with friends, great beers, food and music! And a view of the lake?!…. Who could ask for more?
