Y-Knot Country Store & Eatery

This is NOT your typical pizza, wings and sub shop - it offers the best Keuka Lake daily “specials” that most recently served sea bass, sirloin medallions, scallops, pork chops, crab cakes, chicken and broccoli Alfredo, and soups like gumbo, New England clam chowder and lamb stew. Don’t forget the garlic knots. And if you need help selecting a wine, just ask. Brian and Johanna are the best around - amazing food, fair, affordable pricing and you will leave very happy!

WOW! My husband and I stopped here by chance to grab a bite between wine tastings. We were blown away by how delicious and creative the food was at this unassuming little eatery. The chef and staff have a clear passion for quality and delicious food. Places like this are a diamond in the rough. If you are in the area you HAVE to come here! An added bonus they are gluten and vegan friendly. The best place we ate on our vacation.

Fantastic dinner and service here at Y-Knot the other night. Chicken Picatta was delicious and the Crab Cakes are always outstanding. Crab cakes were served over the best Rice Pilaf we have ever had. Thanks Brian and Jo for a terrific meal!!

Great little store and cafe. The food was delicious and freshly made. We had Mahi Mahi with corn and bean salad which was so tasty and fresh, the prices are really reasonable too. The children’s chicken tenders were really tasty, not greasy and homemade. The servers and owners are also friendly and welcoming.
We sat on the veranda which had beautiful views across the fields and down to Keuka Lake.

Went here for dinner with a family group of 9 people ranging in age from 2-70+. This place was perfect. The menu isn’t huge but had something for everyone…from a sirloin steak special, salad and crab cakes for the adults (all amazingly good) to chicken tenders and pizza for the kids (also really good and had the adults nibbling on the food the kids inevitably didn’t eat). You can tell they use fresh ingredients and don’t take shortcuts with their food. Plus they had an outdoor deck with picnic tables that was great for the kids to run around and play games on (fortunately it wasn’t busy). And there is a playground and library within walking distance with lake views. Plus they have a resident (outdoor) cat named Meowmeow who sleeps in a box on the porch…does it get any better? :-)

This is our favorite restaurant and place to visit when we are in the area. The owners are so friendly and welcoming to us and our dog, and the quality and taste of the food is top notch. They strive to use local ingredients and every dish is made to order with love and care. Try their rotating specials if you can. We also love their shrimp pizza. While you’re there, you can pick up some pantry staples, dairy, beer, wine, t-shirts, local jewelry, and other goods from their store. The space is immaculately clean and homely. You can also eat outside on the back covered deck if you prefer. Prices are so reasonable for the quality of food you are getting. During the growing season, they also have fresh local produce out front for purchase. A must visit when you are in the area to get a real feel for local hospitality.

If you are driving by you need to stop and get a bite or buy a six pack of craft beer. Neat local place. Cool merchandise. Lego decorations!

We were surprised by the elevated quality of our meals. The staff were friendly, down to earth, and helpful! The salmon was the best by boyfriend has ever had (and he is super picky). Don't let the outside fool you... this is a super find!

Amazing food and great team!
We have dined in Hammonsport, Henrico and Watkins Glens and this was by far the most superior meal of our FLX trip. We tried Y-Knot's pizzas, salmon dish and pasta dish and they were all fabulous 👌 Clearly the owners use only high quality fresh ingredients.
Also, great selection of snacks.

Absolutely amazing local place! Think of a general store combined with a deli/pizzeria! Run by a local couple and very unassuming from the outside but the food is fresh and delicious with lots of local options. Plenty of seating inside and out back! Would highly recommend if you need a great lunch between wine tastings.

Thank you so much for your great hospitality and food was out of this world! Large assortment of drinks and snacks. Eat in or take out. Great local establishment! Thumbs up. Highly recommend. Signed, broken down car girls!

Excellent pizza and wings, we were impressed!

This place has frankly no right to be this good. We stopped here on a whim for lunch in the middle of a wine tour and it was by far the highlight of the trip. We had the mahi mahi and the pork chop and they could have easily charged twice the price for them they were so delicious.

You can never fail with this small, delicious family owned business. Last time I came I had the Hoagie and it was generously filled with every ingredient you may ask for. This time I had their pizza and it was amazing. Very tasteful and again very generous with the toppings. This place is 10/10 no doubt. Next time I think I need to try the wings!

A great place for someone who has a lot of dietary restrictions. There are a lot of vegetarian and vegan options and the cook will work with you to get a delicious meal. 😋

WOW, we had two recommendations to drop in this local diner/store from local wineries
We had two Hoagie sandwiches. Very good, fresh toppings and made with care. A must if you are in the area.

Wow. What a gem! Boutique restaurant with amazing specials. Attention to detail and real chef inspired meals. Everything we had was great and we’ll be back!

Food is excellent. I had the pizza and my wife had Ragu. Meals were also reasonably priced.

We ate here and had takeout on 3 consecutive days in Summer 2022. The food was great, atmosphere fun, and folks behind the counter very friendly. The highland wine trail pizza, subs, pork chop special - all fantastic! And, the views from the back orchard are quite nice. Would definitely recommend this place as a nice, casual place to unwind, enjoy some great food, and a glass of local wine.

Cute little country convenient store that has really come in handy. Not a wide selection of things but most convenient store basic necessities. They have some really good food too! A nice seating area inside and seating on the back deck outside. Very nice people.
