This is the second time we have been there. 2 years ago it was AMAZING. No issues and food was great. I like the location but there are many things I didn't like.-the knats/flies were everywhere. A server did try to help us by putting a small fan on us but I went to the car to get out bug spray.-they need a sign on either side of the beach side of the property saying private home owners property. Stay off. My son went to feed the ducks and we got yelled at. We had no idea it would be a huge issue.-the server was nice enough but told us way too much information about why our food was taking so long, why I only had one scallop in my seafood dish and why the steak salad was over cooked and light little lettuce.- did she get us 10% off the bill which was nice but honestly I will not go back after this experience.

Stopped in for lunch.Typical Greasy spoon fair. It was good. Hit the spot / filled the need at the time. Good location in the lake.The overall experience at the bar did not wow us, but I can see the attraction to this location.

Awesome place on the lake. We had a tire blowout and had to stay overnight while the car was being fixed. I called late in the afternoon and they were able to rent us a room. Mary Alice was the best host. The room was clean and recently renovated. Very quiet location with views of the lake. Down the hill is a full outdoor bar, outdoor food, and an indoor restaurant. The food was great, and the service from the bartenders Leighann, Chris, and the owner Mary Alice was on point and couldnt ask for anything better. We would definitely visit again.Food & drinks: Large menu between both restaurants. They have something for everybody.

A 3-night visit to The Beachcomber on Conesus Lake was such a treat - and only 1.5 hours from the Canadian border crossing at Niagara Falls. The owners Mary Alice and Tom are excellent hosts and really care about their overnight customers and their regular visitors and boaters and have no problem addressing dietary requests (always appreciated!). There are so many indoor and outdoor areas to enjoy delicious F&B, music and atmosphere. A lovely place to visit - definitely will be back.

We dined at the beachcomber at the crab shack. The location is ideal and sits on canesus lake. The covered patio is spacious and provides shade. There's also seating inside the crab shack and two other places to dine outside another inside the bar. We went to hear the live band which was excellent. Service was excellent and the server was friendly kind professional and loved her recommendation which was the chicken resling entree which I'd highly reccomed. Crispy tasty pieces of chicken strips ( plentiful) along with a creamy pasta sauce with ham chunks. Delicious warm fresh rolls and a nice arugula salad completed the meal. 2 salmon cakes were our pick for an appetizer Accompained with a creamy dipping sayce.Again highly reccomended. Lemon blueberry cocktail was wonderful! A nice blueberry lemon tangy twist. So good I ordered 2. Not alot of parking at the resturant. On street parking and be prepared for a walk. You get down to the resturants in front climbing down stairs which has a hand rail.

Fornofbus ladies planned monthsnin advance to have dinner and drinks together there, and surprise: a few weeks before the date approached, Beachcomber announced they were having a Halloween Party after regular hours. The girls and I had a lovely dinner, followed by a night of dancing and singing under glowlights with a DJ playing all the old good jams from the 90s. Bonfire outside beside the lake, it was PEEFECT!Food & drinks: Great cocktails were only $7each!Jack n CokeTitos n CranberryAwesome night!!

Had a really pleasant experience here. The staff is really helpful and friendly, and that's not always the case with a lot places these days. We visited on a Saturday evening, without a reservation, but we were seated quickly. We sat at a table which gave us a nice view of the lake and the boats. Our server couldn't have done a better job; we never waited long for anything and she checked on us throughout the meal. The menu is good, there's a lot of good options, something for everyone. Our meal was served quickly and everything was delicious. Everyone around us seemed to be having a good time, just like us. Recommend this place, we'll come back for sure!

We lucked out and it was a perfect day, beautiful sunshine, not too cold and not too warm.The food was cooked perfectly, we had at our table; fish, crab cakes, and steak. The crab cakes were really good... maybe not Maryland crab cakes with the huge chunks, but very good, nonetheless. The steak was a good portion and cooked exactly how it was ordered. The seafood stuffed haddock was also very good and the vegetables were cooked right, but could have used a little more flavor.We'd definitely recommend this place to anybody looking for something different with a nice view of the lake!!

We were here for live music on a beautiful Sunday evening for Memorial Day weekend. Lively crowd. The 80s hairmetal tribute band was pretty good. They were really not prepared for the crowd, food wise. The grill did their best, but not big enough to handle this crowd. One of the few-perhaps only places to eat on Conesus Lake. Parking is probably adequate on most nights, but abysmal for this occasion. I will go back and try out the main restaurant the next time. Prices looked reasonable. Not a very good beer selection on tap. We enjoyed ourselves regardless.

Myself and two others are traveling from Oklahoma to Massachusetts. Mary Alice May has gone over and beyond to make our three night stay comfortable. I commend Amy the housekeeper and Chris the bartender forattending to our needs. Chris gave us directions to Letchworth Park which was a most wonderful experience. I give BEACHCOMBER INN AT LAKE CONESUS A SUPERIOR RATING

Decided to give this place a chance once again and it wasn't great. Our food was all very disappointing and when we asked our waitress for a drink menu, she promptly responded "there's a full bar so they can make whatever" How about provide a drink menu to your outside dinning guests like you do for the guests dinning inside. It could be so much better with attention to detail.

Took family to dinner and waited 2 hours for food. 3 parties that came in after us got their food before us. The owner gave every excuse in the book instead of owning up to the mistake and was rude about it. We got 25% off the bill which was hardly anything. She gave us no reason to go back. This owner will not last if she does not improve customer service. Terrible customer service. Terrible experience. Very disappointed.

Smallest clams I've ever seen. We never got everything we ordered. They tried to make it right and in all fairness it was quite busy. The "Crab shack" doesn't open until 4pm. The menu is limited until then. Descent bar inside & outside dinning available.

Drove an hour to go because of the description of the seafood stuffed haddock and it was awful. There was no seafood. It was all breading. The waitress said she has had many complaints ta but it is that the chef or should I say cook he is not Chef, cuts everything fine. Nice excuse. The place had dead flies on the windowsill near our table. I don’t recommend this place and especially not the seafood stuffed haddock. It was suppose to have crab, shrimp etc it had nothing.

We had a great dinner at Beachcomber. The restaurant and grill menu offered a terrific combination for the adults and kids. Prices were very reasonable, and the service was fantastic. Our waiter hustled and did a fantastic job taking care of all his tables. He took the time to chat with our kids, made great recommendations, and was very friendly. Our kids loved their food, my surf and turf was perfect, and my wife’s eggplant parm was delicious. Add all that to a fantastic view of the Lake. Really happy we were able to get a table!

We went here for dinner at 6pm on a Saturday night. Was not busy, but we did make a reservation just in case. The bar was well stocked (the beer was nice and cold!) and the bartender was friendly. We had a choice of seating in the main dining room with a lake view (which we chose) or we could sit by the fireplace. Very friendly staff and we were even visited by the owner. There was live music which was nice. The food was cooked as we asked....Husband does not like zucchini which was the side mixed vegetable. We will ask for different options next time. The atmosphere was very relaxing. Bit of an old building aroma when we walked in but it was not unbearable. Great food, great experience and when the weather stays warm it will be nice to sit outside. There is plenty of seating outside. I am not sure if they serve outside in nice weather. It's a 'must stop' place!!!

My Father in-law and I stopped in for Lunch on Sunday and decided to get the Brunch. I ordered the breakfast burger and home fries and my father got the eggs and toast. When the order came the waitress forgot the silverware and took about 5 minutes to come back. My burger was raw in the middle. Home fries were decent. We asked for coffee with cream. She brought the coffee with no cream. Again waited like 5 minutes to get that too. After 20 minutes waiting to get the check I walked inside to get my waitress and she said she will find her for me? I’m like you are my waitress? Not the greatest or the most organized on the lake for sure. Good place for a quick beer and a view of the lake.

We had 2 of the most expensive Items on the brunch menu. Our brunch was good, though the home fries were luke warm at best. The waitress was told so when she asked how our meal was and did not apologize or offer any comp/discount. Poor beer selection. The chef and waitress complained when another group of 7 came in 10 minutes before brunch ended, like they didn't want their money because they shut down the restaurant between brunch and dinner. I would think a group of 7 would be welcomed no matter This is a restaurant on a lake with a dock. One would think the place would be open all day on a weekend day with beautiful, sunny weather. They did have a small food stand that does stay open for burgers and fries, but was overwhelmed when half of the 7 decided to order from them instead of the restaurant. Guessing they are more interested in serving dinner than brunch or the food stand. There were no customers in the dining areas when we arrived at 12:45 and only 1 table on the food stand and 3 customers in the bar area.

They put a large party of us there celebrating at 85th birthday right next to the band/stage. No one could converse. Short-staffed and the food, although good, took a really long time. Overall, not very impressed.

Fun place to get drinks and food. Indoor and outdoor seating. Outdoor seating can have annoying gnats that bother you while eating. Can have a drink and put you feet in the water. Live music...

Amazing views and atmosphere!The whole property is great although my favorite has to be the outside dining and beach area. It feels like a laid-back resort. My co-workers and I had great service and the grilled chicken i had was perfect. A nice summer day trip I plan on taking again.

It does well for a lake bar and restaurant. I have only ate inside a few times, it was pretty good. The grill outside is also pretty good for bar/lakeside food. Most of the staff is friendly. It is hard to get to the bar at night, especially since it's been redesigned. The service is quick during the day. The have some pretty good bands, and some kind if live music almost daily in the summer.This is a seasonal establishment.

My family and I have gone to this restaurant/bar several times. Never once did we have a positive experience with the staff, however we always brushed it off as it is a busy time of year. Food always takes a long time, waitresses are always inattentive, staff is blatantly rude to your face, all obviously without consequences. Several times we have gone and eaten dinner and tried to order drinks while eating. Each time we tried our waitress would say she would be right back and never take our drink order. This has happened even during nights we were the only people around. Our last visit however the staff showed and uglier side than I thought possible. I couldn’t believe it but a bouncer blatantly displayed his homophobic opinions towards a gay couple who asked for help after being harassed by another person. They requested a manager, who, to my surprise, sided with the homophobic bouncer. Sad to see in 2019. Don’t give these people your money. Definitely not worth it. My husband and I will definitely not be returning now.

Expect a long wait for a table on a Saturday in the summer - this is not a negative, just a fact. Bartender seemed less-than-amused to be doing her job, but was admittedly swamped and moving as fast as she could. Best to make reservations for dinner, or call before you leave the house... and drive slowly.If you're looking for a quiet table at the lake this weekend, go elsewhere. Live music Friday and Saturday nights on the outdoor venue makes conversation a challenge. Indoor seating was an option, but the weather was too good to pass up "patio seating" when we went.It seemed like the big party behind us was sapping resources, and our server took forever to take our order tonight. Had to collar another server to get things moving. After that, she was pretty attentive.Food was delicious - we shared the gnocchi with shrimp and it was outstanding. No offer of a pepper mill with my Caesar salad, but the dressing was tangy and the quantity was quality. The place is pricey, but you'll get what you pay for.Would consider returning during the week for that quiet table at the lake and a tasty beverage in a short glass.
