Eating in Upstate New York and Beyond, Funchal (2026)

18/08/2026

Tug Hill Rules! Today we ventured out on the For Sale (see pics) “General Lee”, our Polaris side-by-side, to one of our favorite locations on “The Hill”. This ATV/ Snowmobile stop is also accessible by car or truck, although you may need a car wash after you leave.

The duck wontons are a long-time local favorite. This Asian dish is made with duck breasts, minced ginger, chopped garlic, eggs, green onions, and more, wrapped in Wonton Wrappers. We had ours today with Sweet Baby Ray's sweet red chili, which complemented them perfectly.

The freshly sliced hot roast beef sandwich was the perfect trail-stop meal. Piled high and served on white bread (I had mine toasted), then smothered in a rich-tasting brown gravy with a hint of butter. What further enhanced the meal were the “potato flats”. It’s a crispy flattened (smashed) potato cooked to perfection. This thinly pressed potato dish is commonly called “potato pave~” (pronounced Pa-Vay).

They are known for their desserts made in Watertown by the pastry chefs (or pâtissier) at “Whipped Desserts and Catering”. Today they had from chocolate cream cheesecake to Snickers cheesecake. Lowville is the home of Kraft, makers of Philadelphia Cream Cheese, and home of the World's Largest Cheesecake.

The BLT (from a previous visit) was served on a butter-grilled dark rye with a respectable amount of marbling. Served crisp and hot, the sandwich was excellent.

Our bartender/server today was the multi-talented and always cheerful Kris. The place was packed, yet she still managed brief conversations while never missing a beat. The kitchen staff (your secret strength in the restaurant business) was terrific, too. While not on the front line, they deserve recognition too. Today the masters of the kitchen were the owner, Juanita, and her trustworthy sidekick, Randy.

The Tug Hill Inn (Hook and Ladder) is located at 6253 Salmon River Rd in Lowville (Montague). Call them at 315-376-4299 for hours and specials, or visit them on Facebook. They are open Wednesday – Sunday at 11. Kitchen closes at 9. On Friday and Saturday, the bar menu (fryer food) runs from 9 pm to midnight, and the bar stays open until 12:45 am. On weekdays, they close at 10 pm. See FB for their current hours.

Located in the heart of the Village of Lowville Jebs Restaurant offers some amazing meals and an opportunity to explore a community rich in culture and history. From small, quaint gift shops like, Marquerite’s to a public military museum located in the local Lowville American Legion, both are less than two blocks away. They also have a bakery next door ( Crumbs. Bakeshop), or for some amazing desserts, visit the Elm Diner across the street. You can even catch a movie at the Town Hall Theater.

The menu at Jeb’s far surpasses your normal restaurant, with a large number of meals to choose from. Today I went with a Cheesesteak wrap, prepared unlike those you find at most restaurants. When they asked how I wanted the steak cooked, I immediately said medium rare, never expecting to get it served that way on a wrap. It was cooked to a perfect medium rare, and my buddy who asked for medium got exactly what he ordered. It was served with sautéed onions, mushrooms, and a cheddar and jack cheese. Absolutely amazing! And the onion rings actually had onions, not that minced mixture of onions many restaurants use. The fact that the steak was cooked to order tells me the meat didn’t come out of a pre-prepared frozen bag; it had been cooked and then sliced.

The Fajita salad was huge. It was loaded with grilled chicken served with greens, cheese, tomatoes, black olives, sour cream, guacamole, green onions, ranch, and salsas served in a crunch tortilla bowl. It was unquestionably a huge hit.
Jeb’s is also a local favorite for breakfast. My favorite is the Santa Fe Egg Skillet served in a sizzling cast iron skillet, with a green field of Jalapeños smothered across the top, a mound of spicy ground beef, pico de gallo, jack and cheddar cheese, and then gently drizzled with a Mexican ranch sauce.

Our server today was the always attentive and cheerful Shauna (not pictured – she’s shy), as well as the equally charming and photogenic Jen. These girls epitomize why Jeb’s is as successful as it is. The never-seen kitchen staff should be commended as well, as should the dishwashers.

The atmosphere takes you back in time. Built in the 1920’s as a post office. It has had several businesses over the years, including a Kentucky Fried Chicken, a Grand Union Grocery Store, Verr’s Restaurant, Around the Corner Tavern, and Stoney’s II Tavern. The rooms have high, original tin ceilings, and Tiffany-style chandeliers to light the tables. Jeb’s Sports Bar is a must to watch your favorite team, with 5 big-screen TVs, a fireplace, cozy couches, juke box, pool table, and darts available.

They are located at 5403 N Shady Avenue in the heart of Lowville. They also offer to-go and catering. Call them at 315-376-6029. Their hours are Monday – Thursday 11-9, Friday 11-10, and Saturday and Sunday serving breakfast 8-11, then a full menu Saturday until 10 pm and Sunday until 8.

Just a side note: I will never post a negative; everyone has a bad day. Please Share and Like this page. My sole purpose is to support local, family owned restaurants. Any suggestions and comments are strongly encouraged! I am looking to venture out; suggestions?

Looking for something unique in Watertown? With the blues streaming in the background and the atmosphere of a h***y tonk, this downtown Watertown location is a must-stop for every Foodie. It’s a comfortable place to eat with an open atmosphere overlooking downtown.

While many restaurants may serve some forms of BBQ, Watertown's Holy Smokes BBQ and Catering serves smoked meat that is smoked in-house. Slowly smoked BBQ prepared on the premises far surpasses something out of the back of a food distributor's truck.

Today I went with the Beef Brisket Platter. I had the corn on the side, which had a flavorful, tangy twist (almost like Mexican street corn). The mac and cheese was rich and buttery. The beef brisket had been slowly roasted and was cooked to perfection. It came with a roll, although I pushed it to the side, wanting to savor just the meat.

The beef brisket is slowly smoked for 16 hours and the pork for 8 hours. “Smoked” meat is a process; it does not remotely mean it has a “smoky” flavor. It is simply a method of cooking meat that allows the wood's flavor to tenderize the meat and give it a distinctive character. They feature an authentic BBQ with an Ole Hickory Smoker Pit using only apple and hickory wood.

All of their sides are homemade and fresh daily. They include mac salad, potato salad, coleslaw, broccoli salad, fresh-cut fries, smoked mac & cheese, BBQ Beans, Creole corn (a Southern dish), and even salt potatoes!

I always encourage my readers to follow their server's recommendations with seven sauces to choose from. I also prefer something that is a signature, homemade dressing. Both the bourbon sauce (recommended for beef) and the sticky sweet (recommended for ribs) are made in-house. All sauces are made in-house. They have their most traditional molasses-based sticky-sweet sauce, a bourbon sauce, Carolina mustard, a smoked mustard-based sauce, and their signature mild and kick, which are vinegar-based sauces. They also have a jerk sauce and a vinegar-based pineapple and Jamaican jerk seasoning.

My server today was the charming and energetic Noele, with Kim nearby guiding the crew and ensuring perfection in every meal served. Randy has brought Watertown an amazing BBQ and a tremendous staff!

US Foods is their leading supplier.

They also offer catering with a large portable smoker delivered from the restaurant. SEE MENU

They are located at 32 Public Square in Watertown, NY. Reach them at 315-755-9991. They are open Tuesday – Saturday, 11-5

As always, please share and like my blog, and help me support local, family-owned restaurants.

****Also, please see my previous posting and help me support a United Way fundraiser for Lewis County. Lets support local families through the Cow Kissing Friday at the Lewis County Fair. If I win, I kiss a cow at the fair! There are only six of us in the running.****

From previous visits:

The pork Cubano. It was slow-roasted pork, swiss cheese, ham, dill pickle with mustard, mayonnaise, and a mild BBQ sauce. Served on a fresh roll with fresh-cut fries on the side, I was in food heaven. On a side note, eat the fries plan; they are so good that salt and ketchup will only kill the taste. In the future, I’ll get the sauce on the side; just a personal preference.

The Beef Brisket Philly. It was unquestionably one of the best sandwiches I have ever had and it was loaded with slowly smoked beef brisket smothered in melted cheeses, fresh onions, peppers, mayo, and sauce. I went with the homemade bourbon sauce, which perfectly complements the meat. I always try to follow the recommended sauce at a BBQ they have researched for us. The smoked mac & cheese was rich and creamy, and the smoking process only gave the flavor more depth.

The secret is in the sauce. 's Pizzeria - Watertown is as Italian as it gets. The owners are from the province of Palermo in Italy, from the small town of San Giuseppe Jato, Sicily and have brought their community to ours. As we know, in the U.S., all food in our country is regional, from southern cuisines to tomato pie in Utica or cheese curds in Lowville. The same holds true for Italy. Hence, the uniqueness of Tony’s family's "amazing sauce."

Authentic Italian sauce is remarkably simple, relying on the quality of the ingredients rather than a long list of spices. The foundation includes high-quality whole, peeled tomatoes like Alta Cucuna Pomodori A Pera (something you will only see in true Italian restaurants), extra-virgin olive oil, salt, fresh basil (hand-chopped, pictured), and generally dried oregano and minced garlic. It is simmered for hours then allowed to “rest” to further enhance the richness of its taste.

Today I went with the Stromboli, which is essentially a baked turnover made from pizza dough rolled with fillings. Interestingly enough, this originated in Philadelphia. Tony added pepperoni and Italian sausage to mine with a healthy amount of cheese. It was by far the best I have had, with the secret ingredient being their remarkable house-made sauce.

They are known for their Garlic Knots, freshly made daily and hand-rolled to perfection by Zoriana. Served in a small puddle of clarified butter and covered in fresh diced garlic. The freshness only added to their remarkable taste.

One of their most popular pizzas is made with a vodka sauce base (house-made), cup and char pepperoni, fresh ricotta, and hot honey. The name is still to be determined. Your thoughts after trying it?

This is a former OIP.

The rolls for their subs are made fresh daily and baked to a golden brown. Something on my list for my next visit.

The cannoli was creamy and not overly sweet. It was made with fresh ricotta cheese and powdered sugar, flavored with vanilla, cinnamon, and citrus zest. It served as the perfect complement to finish off my meal. They are also known for their almond cookies, fried dough served with Nutella, maple syrup, honey, and cinnamon sugar.

The staff is made up of family and friends, creating an atmosphere you will only find in a traditional Italian Pizzeria. It also had the feel of a Trattoria, which is a more casual, family-owned establishment featuring home-style cooking.
The staff included Italian pizza makers like the son and pizzaiolo Elia, as well as pizzaiolo Josh. The master dicer was Lorenzo. The family serving me is Tony, Viviana, and Elia. The day before, our server was the highly motivated Maya. This is truly a family business that makes you part of their family the minute you walk in the door.

They are located at 222 North Massey St in Watertown, NY. Call them at 315-786-0000. Hours are Tuesday-Saturday 11-9, Sunday 12-9, and closed on Mondays.

This is my most exciting time of the year, Food Truck Season. These mobile emporiums of culinary delights seem to pop up everywhere. They even gather in groups sometimes at events like Food Truck Fridays in Lewis County, New York.
Catering (Ninos Pizza) is a traveling pizza truck and catering service. Owner and pizzaiolo Tony was born and raised in Pozzallo, Italy, just outside of Sicily. With his wife, pizzaiola Cindy, by his side and Bella guiding the carriage, they have created an amazing meal, available on wheels.

The pizza was some of the best we have ever had. It was a classic New York–style thin–crust pie. Ours was loaded with bacon, mushrooms, and onions (my preferred pizza). It was loaded with fresh mozzarella cheese. On a previous visit, we went with the pepperoni pie. The pepperoni they use is not the standard non-flavorful,
cardboard-tasting meat. It was heavily flavored with paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, and fennel seeds, giving it its signature smoky kick and reddish hue. Now that’s a pepperoni!

The deep fried calzone was loaded with ham, ricotta and mozzarella cheese. So good!

But they don't stop at savory dishes. Their county fair-style fried dough and cinnamon knots are a sweet treat that will satisfy your cravings. The cannolis are amazing, and perhaps one of the highlights of the visit! Keeping the menu simple ensures that every dish is made with fresh ingredients and served at a reasonable price, making Nino's the perfect choice for any occasion.

They also offer a gluten-free crust option made with rice and potato flours.

When not traveling, Nino’s is sometimes set up at 7539 Snell Road in Lowville. They offer catering as well. Call them at 315-486-1445, write to them at [email protected], or follow them on Facebook.

With Crystal Pond, a local swimming and fishing hole just across the street, the longtime Pond Effects Bar & Grill continues to serve Pub Food with a home-prepared twist.

The clean kitchen with a small stove looks more like Grandma’s house than a commercial kitchen. Given the feeling of the kitchen, I was not surprised when the owner, Lori, and the master cook pulled out a small frying pan to prepare our hamburgers. I couldn’t remember the last time I had a burger out of a skillet, so it was a welcome change of pace. Throw some bacon and cheese on top, pop a cold one, and enjoy Pond Effects in Lowville.

The crispy, garlicky butter parmesan fries made this meal well worth the trip. They were loaded with flavor, fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. The potatoes, I believe, were russet (US), and the parmesan may have been freshly grated, given the way it stuck to the fries.

The Pub Menu offers a wide array of deep-fried options, from clam strips to jalapeño poppers to deep-fried shrimp. We tried a little of everything and were pleased with our appetizers. Wednesdays are wing day with eat-in only. The pickles were Bread-and-Butter Chips. As a pickle connoisseur, I found them to be amazing. They can also host events of up to 126 people.

They also offer options you won’t find on the menu, but are there for the asking. They will gladly cook a clam Po’ Boy (or shrimp) served on a Costanzo roll. This traditional Louisiana sandwich is served on a fresh roll, then “dressed” with lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, and onion. The presentation was excellent and the taste amazing. It was refreshing to see a pub menu with some variety as well. It originated in the 1920s to feed striking streetcar workers, hence the name “poor boy”.

On my radar is a Hofmann hot dog with cheese, bacon, and mayo. They also offer an array of pizzas and wings. Also pictured are breaded and deep-fried cheese curds (a local favorite) and a chicken sandwich.

The name Pond Effects is derived from the “Crystal Pond” located across the street. The snowmobile trails are groomed by the highly respected “Long Pond Sno Sled Club” (though they are currently addressing some access issues). ATV accessibility is questionable as well, although many do ride there following the tracks.

**** Soon, accessibility to Pond Effects and parts of downtown Lowville will be accessible through the Lewis County Rails to Trails initiative. It will be a multi-use 33-mile trail project converting former railroad corridors stretching from Lowville to Carthage and East to Croghan. The county officially acquired the land for $2.5 million and is actively developing a comprehensive master plan. This would be a financial boon to the economy in Lewis County. ****

The pub is located at 7575 Snell Road in Lowville. Call them at 315-874-4650. They are open Sun 12-8, Mon CLOSED, Tue 5-11, Wed and Thu 3-11, and Fri–Sat 12-Closed. The owners are Randall and Lori Turck. They opened on Jan 29th, 2021.
US Foods is their sole supplier. Burgers are Schweid & Sons, and the rolls are from a bakery in Buffalo called Costanzo’s.

The Veteran (Women)- owned “Empire Square,” located in Watertown’s Historic Public Square, offers “southern fusion food” and a Bourbon- and Prohibition-style cocktail bar. The owner and her chefs are formally trained culinary Chefs. Their cooking style is influenced by the school where they were trained. They honed their skills at the renowned Louisville Brown Hotel.

My meal today, though it looks more like a dessert in my photograph, truly delivered a southern fusion of flavors on my palate. The Chicken ‘n Biscuits, fried chicken, biscuit, poached egg, hot sauce, and a homemade cheese sauce were both tantalizing and a refreshing change of pace. I strongly encourage going with the hot sauce as they serve it, not on the side. The hot sauce's uniqueness gave off more flavor than kick. I highly recommend this meal.

From a previous visit, the Chicken and Waffles were among the best savory-and-sweet comfort foods I’ve had in our three-county region. This southern concoction consisted of waffles made from scratch with buttermilk and a heavy complement of sugar. The added sugar caramelizes the waffle, creating a crisp edge. It is then drizzled with local maple syrup.

Behind the scenes today was Aaron. Starting as a dishwasher at 17, he has moved his way up to Chef. His passion for what he had prepared only further enhanced my meal as he explained the preparation. Sarah, the bar manager, artist, and social media guru, is the one who drove me to this phenomenal establishment via some FB postings years ago. Master Chef Vonnette owns this historic establishment and will gladly offer a walk-through of its history. If she is available.

They locally source everything they possibly can. The meat comes from Red Barn, syrup from Zehr’s, cupcakes from Europe Cakes, and candy from Lindsey's Fine and Dandy Candy. Bread is from Alteri’s, cheese curd is from Bechaz Riverdale Cheese and Gelateria (Clayton), and more as available.

This restaurant is an art gallery in itself, worthy of a visit. The walls are adorned with artfully tasteful paintings by chef and artist, Sarah. She referenced her art as “abstract materialism”. She incorporates anything and everything she can find to create a unique and artful dining ambiance. The art alone is worth a visit. They are also for sale.

Perhaps their most famous customer of this historic venue is Charlie the ghost. He tends to throw bananas and break plates. Fortunately, he elected not to dine with us.

On my bucket list is a walking-and-eating tour of downtown Watertown and its rapidly growing restaurant scene. The diverse choice is sure to please any Foodie! The night scene seems vibrant as well. Downtown Watertown is a food mecca.

Here are some choices:

The Chrystal, Jonnys Ds Paddock Club, Vitos, Taste of the Philippines, Frosted Couture Sisters Candy, New Italian cafe under the Y, Bistro, Boots, Bad Apple, Holy Smokes, Friedes, Mos, Time Warp, Whisytlers.

They are open Wednesday 5 – midnight, Thursday 5-11, Friday 11-2 am, Saturday 10-2 am, and Sunday 9 2 pm. They are located at 63-65 Public Square in Watertown. Call them at 315-777-4114

I am Lee Hinkleman, your local Foodie Extraordinaire. My goal is to promote local family-owned restaurants. I will never write a negative review; everyone has a bad day. Please help me support local by sharing and promoting this page. Let’s eat!

The Cottage Inn, the home of the “Mac and Cheese Bake,” has once again taken life on the ATV/ road trail up a notch. With a diverse menu, available home-style lodging, and a new menu, the Cottage Inn is a must-try Foodie trail stop. Located in historic downtown Copenhagen along the Deer River.

New menu item! The Chicken Riggie Mac is served with a riggies sauce, smothered over fresh pasta, and tossed with chopped red onions and jalapenos. It was then topped with mozzarella cheese and baked to golden-brown perfection. I tasted the flavor of Utica-style riggies.

My all-time favorite is the butter-loaded, bacon cheeseburger mac and cheese bake. It's smothered in nacho cheese sauce, ground beef, crumbled bacon, and diced red tomatoes, topped with shredded cheddar and baked to a golden crisp. The serving was huge enough for two meals (for some of us). This meal far surpassed any of my previous meals, although they do make a mean Cottage Cuban sandwich. It is served with tender, roasted pork, sweet, smoky ham, pickles, spicy mustard, and Swiss cheese on fresh rye bread. With fries on the side, this gourmet sandwich is a must-try. I’m told that as a wrap, it is simply amazing!

New Menu item! The Buffalo Chicken mac and cheese bake came with your choice of a ranch or blue cheese sauce, grilled chicken, topped with shredded cheddar and blue cheese crumbles.

They offer a build-your-own burger with over 20 toppings to choose from, served with your choice of fries, Cajun Fries (absolutely amazing!), or house-made chips. You can also throw in a side order of their famous mac and cheese.

Today we went with a burger topped with tangy pepper jack cheese and sautéed mushrooms. The burger was served on a fresh roll with Cajun fries and a dill pickle.

One of our sides was fried cheese curd (a local favorite). The fresh cheese curds were battered and fried to perfection, resulting in a slight crisp on the outside and a soft, cheesy interior. Simply delectable. While they offer an array of dipping sauces, I prefer mine plain. Why would you have the taste of such an amazing cheese? The fried pickles were a perfect complement as well.

They should call the Mac and Cheese Bake the Mac and Cheese, Cheese, Cheese Bake! It is SO good!

Our server today was the able-bodied and smiling McKenna. Her cheerfulness only enhanced our amazing meal further. Working behind the scenes, slaving away in the kitchen was the master of the kitchen, Ben (not the owner Ben).

They offer .75-cent wings from 5-8 on Thursdays, Friday fish fry, and Prime Rib on Saturdays, the Beeny Brunch on Sundays.

Not only does this ATV stop offer great meals it also has some affordable lodging on the trail. The condo located on the second floor is perfect for a large group of riders. They can comfortably accommodate up to 8 riders. An indoor entrance is available during open bar hours, with a separate entrance available after hours.

They are located on Route 12 in Copenhagen and can be reached at 315-688-9797. The kitchen is open 10-10 daily, the bar is open Monday – Saturday 10-2 AM and Sunday 10-2 AM.

The ATV/UTV trail from “The Hill” to Brantingham is officially open for the season. Since many of the trails are on private land, they can change regularly. Please always carry a current map and do not purchase the heavy-duty ones (people who do tend to keep them for years, and they are outdated).

Today, the trail led to the Brantingham Inn and Motel, located directly on the county trail system, which is maintained by one of the premier ATV clubs in New York, the Black River Valley Four Wheeler Club, Inc. (join here). They do a great job! This is a complete stop, with comfortable rooms and a restaurant with a daily $8 special! Today's special was a unique and scrumptious. The “Blue OX” was a pile of roast beef, Swiss cheese, red onions, and blue cheese. It was served with a side of homemade mac salad and chips. Served on a roll or butter-grilled Italian bread. At $8, you couldn’t go wrong in today's market.

Nothing beats a flame-broiled burger; it creates a beautiful piece of meat that is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Served on a fresh, toasted bun with chips, lettuce, and tomato, and a generous portion of pickles, it comes in 4- or 8-oz. sizes. We both went with the grilled onion, with the smaller one served with grilled mushrooms. As always, we smothered them with mayonnaise and cheese, which oozed out of the bun. The fries were crispy on the outside and tender in the center. In Lewis County, I believe this is the only dining establishment that offers a flame-broiled burger (other than Elm Diner in Lowville).

Follow them on FB to see the band lineup that they will offer periodically throughout the season. On Friday, April 25th, they will have Jim Nostam and Chris Correll performing live.

Our master of the kitchen and bartender extraordinaire was the amazing Bobby. He easily prepared our meals while still serving those at the bar. Julie has owned this place for over 25 years and is known for hiring talented staff. She is also the master of the pancake that, interestingly, has the texture of French toast. While not currently offering breakfast, I think that could make an amazing pancake burger (served with an egg on top). Sorry, just my Foodie coming out.

The Inn offers a cozy sports feeling with some highly interesting paraphernalia. Take a moment to just walk around and look at the surroundings. They also have an assortment of TVs,s so that you can watch your local sports event of choice.

They are open at noon on Wednesday through Saturday and on Sundays at 1. They are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays and located at 7791 Brantingham Road in Greig, NY. Call at 315-348-8125.

As always, please share and like this page on FB. I do this only to support local, family-owned restaurants. My name is Lee Hinkleman, and I’m a Foodie Extraordinaire.
