It was great. The parking was easy. The restaurant is bright, big, and clean. There are nice fall decorations. The food tastes fantastic. The people who work there are nice and professional. We couldn't hope for better. And it was a beautiful day!

This place is a diamond in the rough. Truly never disappointed - someone in the kitchen definitely knows what they are doing. We have high expectations of restaurants and this is one of the best in the area. Deserves way more stars.

A very lovely restaurant in a beautiful town of Bath. The food is freshly prepared and extremely yummy. The portion size is really generous. The customer service is outstanding and the place is pretty huge and clean. I tried their “Rachel” sandwich with homemade chips. Their house made chips are worth having. I wish I could give them more than 5 stars for food. Everything is beyond expectation. Highly recommend this restaurant.

We had a wonderful experience with our evening meal here. My wife and I each had salads with grilled chicken, both of which were excellent in presentation and flavor. I had a small side of brussel sprouts that tasted so good. We would highly recommend this gem of a diner. It was classy!

Such a great down-home atmosphere with decorations of the season. The food has never EVER disappointed. Today got appetizer of cranberry, turkey, apple sandwich with sweet potato fries. Our 2 meals were: beef on weck with homemade potato chips! OMG! The service is fast, efficient and friendly. You must go here for your next meal. Seriously. What a hometown treat! Oh kahlua cheesecake to boot. Trust me.

Came here for breakfast during the Corning marathon. Cute restaurant. Great service. Got the chicken and waffles and it was delicious.

My absolute favorite restaurant in the area! I recommend this spot to everyone who comes through the bar I work at. The cracked potatoes are a must! Their dessert case is worth the stop on your way out—especially their homemade sticky buns! We usually go for brunch but wanted to try their prime rib since breakfast is always so good. The prime rib was AMAZING Cannot say enough good things about the place

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a fantastic experience at The Chat-A-Whyle! The seasonal menu was full of fresh, creative dishes that really stood out, and the fish fry was one of the best I’ve had—perfectly cooked, crispy, and full of flavor. The service was equally impressive; the staff was friendly, attentive, and made the whole meal feel relaxed and enjoyable. Highly recommend stopping in if you’re in the area!
