Fantastic experience. Patient and kind waiter. Large selection of food and drink options..reasonable prices. Street parking. Suggest to call ahead of you hand a party of 5 or more, especially during peek hours. Kids friendly. Everything we ordered from drinks to food was absolutely delicious. I cannot wait to come back.

Love the taproom. Great craft beer choices on tap.

*amazing* list of draught beers (like Toppling Goliath Mornin' Delight, Hill Farmstead IPAs, Mortalis smoothie sours, Drekker...) The tapminder was supersweet. Huge portions of really delish pub food. I especially liked the waffle fries (so crispy!) with beer cheese and loads of crumbled bacon

Had the best experience here with my sisters tonight for restaurant week! Alene (sorry if that’s wrong!) was our server and she was so sweet! We stayed an extra few minutes just to talk with her. The restaurant week menu itself was incredible!! There were 3 of us so we tried almost everything, the burrata salad was sooo good and needs to be on the regular menu asap! The mac and cheese and the burrata pesto chicken was so flavorful and the carrot cake was so good and moist I ate the whole slice even after stuffing myself with all those apps and entrees! Would definitely recommend- our server also told us about their new private banquet room upstairs as well and it looks gorgeous, would love to have the chance to see that sometime! Will 100% be back here

We stopped in here Friday afternoon our way from Syracuse to Latham for a bowling tournament. What an amazing decision, as we have never been here! My husband and I sat at the bar and we were instantly welcomed by the bartender who happened to be the owner. He was very knowledgeable with his taps and beer selections in general. Great local beer selections on tap and a small cooler on the side full of cans available for sale. The food… omg the food!!!! We started with the wings, they were crispy, juicy, fresh and slightly breaded. For our lunch we both got the taproom fried chicken sandwich, and let me tell you… I never eat my full sandwich and I woofed that thing down with no regrets! The fried chicken was tender and juicy, topped with a tangy coleslaw, bread and butter pickles with a sriracha aioli atop a brioche bun. Although I am not a french fry person, my husband loved the crispy fries! Phenomenal all around, atmosphere, food and drinks. The locals truly love this place also and were very knowledgeable with the surrounding areas great food/drink spots! Can’t wait to go back again!

This place is consistently fantastic. Myself and my family have had a whole lot of things on their menu and have never had a complaint or disappointment. For me, the burgers are the best. The Cooper Sharp burger or the Alpine are my favorites. Their Reuben is the best I’ve had in the area. I will continue to order from there and you should as well.

Food was really good. I mean really good. Was not like most eat out places wear food is good but kind of generic. This was like home made from scratch type of good food. I had the a-aron and the chicken was super crispy and super tender Inside. I usually don't do fried foods but I'm glad I did here. The fried string beans were really good as well. My cousin loved her Mac and cheese and her husband liked his Reuben. Drinks were good and service was great. Our waiter was very accommodating and attentive. Service was quick and everything came out perfect. Definitely going back next time I'm in the area.

Mohawk Taproom more than lived up to the wonderful things we had heard. To start, my husband loves good bourbon and the list of options made his day. His favorite of the 2 he sampled was a 15 year Knob Creek. And the food - oh my goodness! Crispy waffle fries sturdy enough to hold up to the most delicious beer cheese. I kept eating knowing I was risking having enough room for the meals we ordered. Next came the chicken bacon ranch quesadilla and the fried chicken sandwich. The husband loved the amount of bacon; some places put so little on, that the bacon is more of an afterthought. Not the case here. I would have liked a little more ranch perhaps, but it was seriously delicious. The fried chicken sandwich was also perfection; crisp, well cooked, and well seasoned. And the pickles! Definitely homemade and a little sweet with a little heat. My only sadness was that I couldn't finish the last few bites of my half. This place is seriously amazing- if you haven't already been, go now!
