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!Vegetarian options: Johanna is vegan - they know what they’re doing!

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!!

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.

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.Kid-friendliness: The children played in the field next to it and there was a swing, it was very idyllic.

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.

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.

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

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!

Every time I go away on vacation, I am always on the hunt for a great pizza place, which is not always the easiest thing to find. I decided to give Y-Knot Eatery a try based on the reviews. We tried the West Side Garlic pizza and were not disappointed. In fact, it was so good we went back the next day and ordered the Highland's Wine Trail pizza, also excellent! So, if you are thinking about trying this place out, don't hesitate- the food is great, and the people are really nice! I only wish this place was closer so that I could get their pizza all the time!

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.

Delicious food! We have been here several times for take out and we have never been disappointed. The Specials are scrumptious and the soups top knotch! Unique flavors and satisfying combinations. Last night’s Thai carrot bisque was so good that I only ate half so I could enjoy the rest today for lunch. Highly recommend! Thanks for sharing your cooking talents….. Greatly appreciated.

Found this little gem after a recommendation from Tambi at Point of the Bluff Winery. Don't let the looks decieve you, this is a wonderful place for a great meal. The owners are warm and welcoming and the food is outstanding. We also appreciate the nice selection of local wines (by the glass or bottle). They are even dog friendly! Would have liked to eat on the back deck but the weather wasn't cooperating today.We will look forward to our next trip to Keuka Lake and will be stopping for dinner again!For anyone interested, my wife had the Turkey/Apple Salad Wrap while I enjoyed the Flat Iron Steak and Roasted Potato dinner. Both meals were excellent!

This place is amazing. We stopped in to Y Knot between two wineries for a bite to eat. Brian and Johanna were so nice, the atmosphere was awesome. We ordered pizza and a salad and both were great. We ate on the back deck and enjoyed the weather and the view. The hoagies looked great too. I can't wait to come back!!!

This place is a hidden gem. Brian and Johanna are great! All the menu items are super solid - their wings are some of the best I’ve had - but what is truly incredible are Brian’s daily specials - which would stand up to meals I have had at some really great restaurants. So - yes, try some wings and pizza - but to unlock the secret to Y Knot - ask what the daily specials are. You won’t be disappointed.

We had one of their specialty pizza and the where very accommodating by switching the shrimp for chicken. My son said if we lived here he would get pizza there all the time. Great little place we nice owners and staff. If you are near by it is a must stop.

We stopped by after some wine tasting for some food (late lunch). The proprietors were SUCH nice people! And the food! Gluten free options are plentiful, and they have a great gluten free cauliflower crust! We ordered it with the CBR toppings and my non gluten free husband was also impressed and happy to eat it! The baked chicken wings (we got medium) were also awesome. Cute place, nice view out back and the interaction was just so positive. Wish we could find places like this everywhere we vacation. Wholeheartedly recommend, will definitely stop back when we are next in the area. You should visit them!!! They also habe a little convenience store section and a nice bathroom so even if you need a cold nonalcoholic beverage when in the area, it would be a great option.

Great food, great service! Super nice people! Their gluten free pizza and wings were the BEST!!! Want amazing fresh food at great prices? Look no further! We will absolutely be back many more times! Joanna and Brian are two people that you can tell right off of the bat that they are passionate about what they do, and it shows through every inch of their business!
