Disappointing

I tried the brussel sprouts which are not vegan as posted to menu. I asked that they be prepared vegan due to reviews on HC and they came out fried with no sauce or seasoning of any kind. I love brussel sprouts but these were terrible. When I didn't eat them, the waitress didn't even question why.

Pros: Beer

Not clear what is vegan

Menu doesn't mark vegan options. When asked what vegan options they had, they said they weren't sure but cauliflower wings probably were.

Pros: Server was kind

Food was not good

The food was not good, the place was super loud. So, a guy who was cleaning and picking up dirty dishes was extremely loud and it was not pleasant to eat with such noise. I would not recommend this place.

It’s All About The Fried Brussels Sprouts!

Decent pub fare all the way around. Had the Cauliflower Tacos, and my wife had the Beyond Burger. Both were solid, but it was the Fried Brussels Sprouts that stole the show….truly an amazing appetizer! Pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff. Would definitely head here again!

Pros: Fried Brussels Sprouts!!!, Cauliflower Tacos, Nice atmosphere & friendly staff

Cons: Not fully vegan, Could use a few more vegan menu options

No Vegan Menu as Stated

Came because website said there was a vegan menu…there isn’t. They had one already-vegan option -cauliflower tacos which were cold pieces of cauliflower drenched in store bought salsa served with cold fries. Table was sticky and I had to cover it with a napkin. Bay breeze was like a giant glass of fruity drink.

Pros: Some vegan options, Vegan dessert option

Cons: No vegan menu as stated on website , Food was cold, Cauliflower tacos drenched in store bought salsa

Nope. Warm beer, separate vegan menu does not exist, what was vegan not good.

Website menu has a comment “ask for separate vegan menu”. It doesn’t exist.

Pros: A couple of options

Cons: Not very good , Even French fries were not fresh, Misleading comment on the menu from website

Great for a Brew Pub

Wish there were more vegan option but what they have is great, staff is awesome and there's live music on the weekends.

Good food.

We knew there were limited options, but everything was clearly labeled. My wife and I had the Cauliflower Tacos which were amazing.

Good food

Lots of options for an area that is not too vegan friendly. Cauliflower tacos were very filling and delicious.

Pros: Lots of options

Enjoyed it

I’m giving it extra points because of the number of options available in a town I wouldn’t expect to have vegan options. We ordered a Beyond burger, cauliflower tacos (sautéed not fried), sweet potato fries, and fried Brussels sprouts. The Beyond burger was predictably good. The cauliflower tacos were very good. The verdict has not yet been deliberated on the fried Brussels sprouts. I expected pan fried, but these were like deep/deep friend to the point when they became dry. I felt like they were WAY overcooked by my husband thinks it was done on purpose.

They had so many options on the menu that I *might* go back and try other stuff.

Super yummy!

Because of Covid, the service was a little slow but the food was absolutely FANTASTIC! I definitely recommend the hummus if it’s an option during their seasonal menu!

Pros: Vegan friendly Options , Creative food

Food was good!

The poutine was great - mushroom gravy and cheese curds, what’s not to like? The portobello mushroom sandwich was ok, too much bread to mushroom ratio. Cauliflower tacos were amazing, def recommend them over the mushroom. They also do a cauliflower wing which I’m sure is amazing and they have vegan aioli.

Pros: Vegan options, Great local beer

Great beyond burger

I got the beyond burger here and was not disappointed. The burger sauce was 💯. The steak fries were also really tasty. I left feeling satisfied!

Seiten Taco with no Seiten?

Ordered the Seiten tacos, got home, there was no Seiten oh pico and avocado. I was super excited to try here, but now I'm just mad I wasted $12.

Inconsistent

This place USED to have great vegan options. The menu and recipes have changed and not for the better. Seriously disappointed!

Seitan tacos!

The restaurant has recently changed names to "Rooster Fish Brewing Pub" and still has the same great homemade seitan tacos that other reviewers mentioned (prompting our visit). We also got the pretzel and the staff put the "special sauce" made for the vegan Beyond Meat burger on the side. Everything was delicious! We visited here as part of our stay at the nearby Farm Sanctuary.

Great for lunch/dinner

Went for breakfast during recent trip to Watkins Glen and discovered they recently changed their menu and no longer offer breakfast. Went back later and had the delicious seitan tacos. Went back another day to have them again since they were so good. We tried the onion rings, which are made with pickled onions, and didn't care for them. They also have a beyond meat Burger on the menu, which my sister enjoyed.

Pros: Delicious vegan options, Friendly staff, Good location

Cons: No longer serves breakfast, Could use more vegan options

In Love

I am absolutely in love with The Wildflower Cafe - the seitan tacos and onion rings are to die for. I've been here multiple times, and the staff are always accommodating, and willing to change up menu items to make them vegan - for example, the soft pretzel appetizer is vegan without the butter or cheese! (Just ask for the spicy vegan spread as a replacement.) The desserts I've had are delicious, and the building itself has a great aesthetic, ultimately deeming this place a favorite among my family and friends. Aside from the park, I would go to Watkins Glen just for this cafe.

Pros: onion rings, staff, place

Cons: could be more vegan options

love this place

My hubby whom is not vegan (but eats mostly vegan) and I went here on our 10th anniversary and he got a black bean burger and I got the jackfruit tacos. Everything tasted wonderful and we love the atmosphere and the wait staff. Would definitely be going back. Beer and wine selection is great!

Seitan Tacos

If I could give a 5 I would! They had a handful of veggie/vegan options. Ask your server and they'll be able to tell you!

I went with the seitan tacos. This was my first time eating seitan and I have to say it has left a high mark to meet. Very flavorful, and huge portions. Everything tasted very fresh. I went with onion straws for a side but they have other options.

They recently started doing vegan dessert specials. My husband and I split an apple cobbler that was out of this world! They didn't have vegan ice cream yet but they're working with a local place to get that soon.

Pros: great service , knowledgeable staff

Cons: a drive if you're not from Watkins

delicious tacos!

Yummy seitan tacos with a nice slice of avocado & fried onions on top. Whatta combo! The seitan was a bit soft and spongey. The only thing that could make these better was shredding the seitan into smaller pieces and sautéing them before drenching in the yummy BBQ sauce. Super friendly staff here.
