Reviews for Sugar Loaf Taphouse in Chester, NY
Hostess was obviously annoyed by having to sear a party of three in an otherwise empty dining room. Table was filthy and... swarming with flies. Chicken was fried more than once and dry. Burger was overcooked. Horrible experience. Read more
This was my first visit. Parking is plentiful (on a Tuesday). I imagine that weekends would be a bit more congested as Sugar... Loaf cranks up the weekend Artisan exhibits and stores. Either way and whatever day you are passing through, check out theTaphouse. Ambiance was very rustic and inviting. They have the same barnsiding on the walls as I have in my home, so it is anice motif in my opinion. The service was timely and very professional. No mishaps were noted. The food is a blend of Americanfood kicked up a notch. We ordered the crab cakes appetizer. They were delicious but did not have the typical lumps of crab Iam accustomed to. Not a deal breaker but rather a constructive criticism. Hello Chef! Main entrees were Horshradish CrustedWild Salmon with veggies and rice pilaf, and Fish & Chips. My wife claims it was one of the better cooked and seasoned piecesof salmon she has had (except mine, of course ????). It was also a decent sized piece. Veggies were cooked to a very nice snap.Pilaf was very tasty but a little on the cold side. Again, not a deal breaker. The Fish & Chips was a treat. A really nice crispto the batter and not soggy like in some places. The fish was cooked perfectly, white, lite and fluffy. The chips (aka fries)were really good. Not grease soaked and they were seasoned perfectly. If you are there during the Ocktoberfest season, try theOcktoberfest Lager. I thought it was a pretty good compliment to the Fish & Chips. A point worth noting; cash paying patronssave 4.5% credit card fees. The menu prices are the cash prices. It was interesting to read some of the older posts that claimeda 1 star rating. Not sure if it was the staff, chef or a combination of both on those days. It behooves the owner to verify whowas on shift those days and have a heart to heart with them. Anyway, we give them a 5 star rating ths time, my first time. Younever get a second chance to make a first impression. This one was great! Visit the Taphou Read more
Great little roadside stop, peaceful, friendly, great food. Will definitely be back on my weekend rides????
Great food, friendly service Had no problem accommodating our reservation for 8 people even with a last minute change. Loved... this place as the Barn Sider so I was a little skeptical about the new place, but I was not disappointed at all. Huge menu,great beer, something for everyone. Reasonable prices. Well definitely go back. Read more

Excellent food! They have a great selection of food on the menu and the service is incredible. The place itself seems to be... always clean and well put together. Can get a little busy during lunchtime but it is worth the wait, not to mention the serversare super sweet and friendly! Read more

This was our first time visiting the restaurant. We were going to a concert and decided to stop in for some drinks and some... dinner. The atmosphere was fine and we were seated quickly. The food was absolutely awful. No one received what they ordered...Items were either missing or wrong. A side dish error that was supposed to be switched came 45 minutes later. We had filetmignon sliders and they were extremely tough and tasteless. Unfortunately the rolls were stale. They might have just had an offnight. The staff really tried to help but in the end it was just a bad experience. Read more
