8714 State Route 434 • Apalachin NY





Hello again my phellow phood phanatics ... today we are looking at a GREAT little place just over the county line in Apalachin, NY. The Chat-A-Wyle Restaurant (The old Fox Farm) on Rt. 434 has been on our radar for years and is due a review.

From the outside it's a big old farm house with a full length enclosed front porch. As you walk through the door you are hit with a the familiar warmth of being at a good friend's home.  The rooms with the exception of the kitchen have all been converted to dinning areas with a variety of antique wood and metal tables & chairs.


 Today Alonnie and I went after the 1/2 Sandwich and Soup Combo.  Alonnie got the Portabella on ciabatta w/the Autumn Bisque Soup.  While I had the Chicken Marsala on ciabatta w/Autumn Bisque Soup.

The menu is small and uncomplicated which makes for a very consistent and tasty meal every time you visit.  There are some seasonal changes from time to time ... but the folks here do not try to reinvent the wheel, what works on the menu ...stays on the menu. FOOD is home made and always tasty.  PRICES are reasonable and affordable for most. The STAFF is friendly and helpful. SERVICE is quick and courteous.

Barnaby's Pub



Hello all ...
it's been a while but I am back with a WINNER ... BARNABY'S PUB in Endwell.  The Wife & I were looking for somewhere new for a lunch and found Barnaby's. 

We ordered the Big Boy Blue Burger for me and Alonnie got the Philly cheesesteak and an appetizer of chili cheese fries. Service was quick and friendly with the food arriving in a timely fashion.

 
The cheesesteak was REAL Steak shaved and not the thin, processed, frozen steak'ums that are often found in these sandwiches. The sides of coleslaw and pickles were a treat, especially the pickles, old style "Icebox" sweet chips that were reminiscent of Great-Grandma's own recipe.

 
The Big Boy Blue Burger was a double patty freshly made and cooked to order.  The sides of pasta salad and pickles were as fresh and delicious as the burger.
 
The Menu is a manageable size but has enough variety for folks to find something they like. We felt that the prices are reasonable and that with the food quality makes a meal at Barnaby's a great value.
