Seneca Farms in other cities:
Disappointed again no hot dogs. Been there 3x and always no hot dogs. Had Mushroom Swiss burger it was the best, But I love my hot dogs. Live in Penn Yan and a drive to get there its worth the trip. We meet family from Victor there, and bring friends with us to share the good food. We will be back!!!!!
Went for dinner.. Worst chicken Ive ever had. Extremely dry and hard to chew. Breading was bland and no flavor also hard to chew. Corn fritters had very little flavor. The ice cream was good.
I have enjoyed Seneca Farms chicken for years, but something has drastically changed. A month ago the chicken tenders were very small and disappointing and tonight the chicken was extremely greasy, cold and so not worth the money,, the fries were nothing more than dust, obviously sat for hours! We wont be back for chicken. Ice cream is always good. Im so sorry its gone for me after so many years of greatness.
Great food and service! Menu is full of options for all.
I didnt get pictures of my food but I had just a hamburger and fries with a chocolate peanut butter cup milkshake. The milkshake was amazing at times I could taste chuncks of the peanut butter cups. I came with my mom and my maid of honor and bridesmaid and just had a great time with some great food and ice cream. I highly recommend if you have never been it is so worth it you wo t be sorry.
I’ve been coming her for at least 15 years and I have always been satisfied with their food here. Their chicken is like no other in the region and the inside has a nice “classic” feel to it with a bunch of Coca-Cola retro stuff. There is a restroom inside, and has plenty of outdoor seating. Menu has a good variety of other food besides chicken. Prices are still reasonable even with the recent price increase on some of their products, but still satisfied with the food and service!
Known for their fried chicken but have lots of good stuff on the menu. Lots of outside seating. The chicken was quite good. They also have an ice cream stand that was SO good!Update/editWe went back.... I had to try their brownie sunday.... SO WORTH IT!!! It was so good.
Absolutely the best fried chicken I have ever had. Homemade ice cream to put you into ice cream bliss.Do not pass this place up.
Loved this place as a child my uncle would always take us. There prices are a bit much but the food is good. There ice cream is amazing
Been going here most of my life. Fantastic seasonal restaurant that all in the area and repeat visitors look forward to!Their ice cream and chicken are top notch!
Food is awesome and the staff are very friendly. Dont forget to try the ice cream and custard, it is the best I have ever had.
Chicken here was sooo delicious and they have such a diversity of ice cream to offer! Would definitely come back to eat!
Overall a great place to take the family for ice cream or a meal always busy but they move right along to get everyone waited on
The vegan chocolate ice cream is AWESOME! Delicious! Thank you! Love the drive through.
The hush puppies (corn fritters) were a wonderful treat, the fried chicken was delicious and the ice cream was amazing.the service was also excellent.Whats not to love?
Chicken is really good. Mac and cheese is the typical food service mac and cheese. But i like that mac and cheese anyhow. Beans are ok. Neither takes away from the rating. Service was quick and friendly. If youve got the time, eat here, it wont cost anymore than a fast food joint and youre supporting a local business.
Great service. Fabulous chicken. Had sides of potato and Mac salads. Excellent! Worth the trip.
Absolutely love Seneca Farms. Love the unique twist combinations. Delectable hard ice cream. Best around.
Have been there before. Excellent Chicken dinner. Everyone had a very good meal.
The ice cream is really good! Nice area with picnic tables to sit and enjoy ice cream.
Nothing like some amazing ice cream on a hot summer day. On the shores of a big lake in New York. Not much room on the inside, but the portions are big and the ice cream is awesome!
Oh my! The fried chicken was phenomenal. Try there homemade potato salad. It was so good we bought a second one to take home. Then we tried the raspberry ice cream with chocolate bits. Yummy!!
Great home made ice cream shop with more than just ice cream, and an old fashioned feel. Lots of coca cola memorabilia. Plenty of outdoor and indoor seating available. A great place for families on a rainy or sunny day
Fun with the family at Seneca Farms. I recommend the fried chicken. Oh. Dont forget the ice cream!
Cool little place! Delicious fried chicken and a great selection of ice cream for desert. Nice outdoor seating area. Drive-thru service for food available.
The corn fritters were top notch and the chicken was very good as well, although I wish I got different parts that included more meat. Mac salad was Mac salad, but the Mac and cheese was very tasty. The ice cream was pretty good, although the homemade soft serve isn’t as creamy as say Perry’s. Yet Perry’s doesn’t have different flavors of softserve like Seneca Farms. Overall a great place for dinner and desert!
The food is delicious! Definitely worth the 1hr drive from the other side of the lake. The service is slow for what appeared to be already made foods but they were busy + the staff was honest/apologetic as she was normally on the ice cream side. Cool Coca-Cola memorabilia to check out while waiting tho 🙂
One of my favorite places to visit in Penn Yan.. their food is amazing. If youve never been you should definitely put it on your list of places to go. They do get pretty busy around lunch time so if youre in a rush you should plan to order a head. However even when theyre busy, the wait is usually only about 10 minutes or so. Sometimes seating can be difficult as it is a small restaurant, but they have additional seating outside.In addition to their food the ice cream has made the list of one of the top ice cream dives in western New York. Again.. definitely worth checking out if youve never been
Delish fried chicken. Amazing Corn Fritters. Park like area for the kids.
Ice cream was amazing, we also got a “pup cup” and they put a bone on it for our dog! So sweet!
Somethings different. I dont know what it is, but something about the flavor of the fried chicken is different than its been in the past. Ive been eating here for 20 years, but it just wasnt as good today.
Excellent food, delicious ice cream, reasonable pricing. Limited seating so be prepared. However if needed you can sit on the ice cream side too and wait for your order there. More seating options during the spring/summer of course.
Love this local ice cream shop. They sell a lot of flavors of ice cream in hand dip as well as containers. One of our mist do things with the kids when we are in the area.
My favorite ice cream is the cappuccino crunch and triple chocolate dipped in chocolate with chocolate sprinkles! I cant get enough.. the white mountain raspberry and soft serve cookies and cream is also mouth-watering. Drumsticks, fries and the homemade lemonade mix are my go to for lunch. I love the cocoa-cola theme and super friendly staff. =]
Pretty expensive for what it is, but also good food. Ice cream is good with nice selection.
Visited my favorite local establishment while on Keuka Lake. Seneca Farms always bring a smile to my face, they have a HUGE selection of ice cream options, all that are delicious. I got my go to.. a large strawberry milkshake, simple but so great. The staff was nice and helpful when deciding between options. They’re always smiling!
If youre in the Pen Yan area,You Must stop here !Everything was great,Its hard to beat a place with delicious fried chicken on one side, and creamy ice cream on the other !!
One of my favorite summer stops. This place has great fried chicken that I cant get enough of. Their corn fritters are worth travelling for as well! Get your dinner in the back, then stroll around to the front and have dessert with some in house made ice cream. Fantastic flavors and great variety, there is something to try every visit. They also have a drive thru for ice cream if you dont feel like getting out of the car.
Wonderful ice cream, very clean, great servers.
During the dinner hour with Keuka College resuming classes tomorrow, it was BUSY! A good sign! Had heard great things, now I know why. Delicious chicken dinner with large pieces of chicken, tasty corn fritters (to be eaten with maple syrup), mashed with gravy and cole slaw. All very good, couldnt eat it all!!! Fun Coke memorabilia all in the red and white theme. Very fun! Will make a special trip to eat here again.
The fried chicken was as good as they say!Sides were so so. Fritter was interesting. Would come again.
Love the chicken, corn fritters and ice cream. A place you have to try.
The fried chicken is absolutely DELICIOUS and the varieties of the ice cream are AMAZING!!!
You cannot find better fried chicken anywhere in the Finger Lakes. On your way home from the Windmill Seneca Farms is an absolute must!!! The food is exemplary, the service, always with a welcoming smile and a warm hello. And after your meal, ya gotta have their ice cream! Did I say ice cream, I sure did. Treat yourself to the best place every - Seneca Farms!!
Great fried chicken. Prices are reasonable. Indoor seating as well as heated, covered outdoor seating for cool evenings. Best ice cream. The only problem is that they are not open year round.
The ice cream was just okay. It was within walking distance of where we stayed and was always crowded.
A beautiful little stop! Came to try the fried chicken but there were so many bees outside it made enjoying anything impossible. I know its hard to manage but seriously dozens of yellow jackets competing for your food has to be better dealt with.
I heard good things about the corn fritters and ice cream. I generally am dissuaded when mint ice cream is green, which it was here. The corn fritters were nothing special. They did have nice variety on the menu. Ive had much better homemade ice cream.
Id heard that this is a must visit place when in Penn Yan, I would agree. The chicken is not to be missed and the atmosphere is unique. Why go to some chain establishment when you can visit a one-of-a-kind gem like this. The service is good and speedy, the food is delicious, and the location is convenient. I left pleased with the decision to stop. Highly recommend.
Great tasting food. The fried chicken looks like what KFC would like to be. The Philly cheese steak for lunch was the right size and good flavor. They close Oct. 27
We went there and they said that one fryer was down. Our order took 1 hour to come. Our expectations were high.If you like any type of deep fried foods... they have it. The place seem popular enough so take this review with a grain of salt.I did not find their fried chicken or corn fritters special. The taste was mediocre, there was no crunch when you bite into them. I can say fried chicken from the colonel has better taste, fried chicken from Tops and Walmart has the crunch but at times can come as too salty.The same goes for the corn fritters. Fried dough in fairs had better taste. Their milkshake is also just your standard milk shake.I think as a local shop in the area of Penn Yan, there is an attraction to try it out because it is local. I felt I shouldnt have invested an hour of my time waiting for the food to come out.Service wise I would suggest telling people outright that there is a problem so they know why they are waiting for so long.
Great service, love the chicken and corn fritters. No room for ice cream today but I know how good that is. Expanded outdoor spaces to sit and eat. Some in a covered open air space and seating in the open to enjoy the sunshine and summer weather. Always meets and exceeds expectations!
Its always crowded. It means they serve good food and delicious icecream. Get their real pistachios icecream.
Always great chicken. The corn fritters are the stars of the show!
Nice atmosphere and polite workers. Good food with great service.
I got strawberry sundae and those coconut custard cupcakes. Everything was sooo good!!
Fantastic and right near the park down the road. Lots of outdoor seating
Need more than five stars to rate THIS place! Every week there is a new ice cream imagining!!! Outside space has expanded-- lots of fun kiddie spots, family seating and virtual carhop ( call ahead, they bring it to your car!) service!
Worth the wait. The BEST friend chicken and great icecream. Drive through the bomb and peanut safe for allergic son. Closes in a week.
Seneca Farms catered ice cream at our wedding and it was PERFECT. They came to set up quietly, worked great with the venue, the servers were so sweet, and the ice cream was DELICIOUS. Nitosha who helped to set everything up did so much to make it perfect. We absolutely recommend them for any needs you have!
Food was good not great. All sides fried or mixed with mayo. Hubby is gluten free, we told them. Got burger asked for gluten free bun, shake and french fries. Fries in with other gluten food which doesnt usually bother him. Something had gluten in it....
Yummy, rich ice cream. Worth every calorie. We had the triple chocolate which had fudgy brownie like pieces and black raspberry. Both were outstanding. We also had lunch, a burger and chicken sandwich, which were nothing to write home about, but the ice cream more than made up for it.
Best fried chicken Ive had!Sides were... Fine I suppose, but the chicken is the real star of the show here.Cant comment on the ice cream as I did not try any.Staff was pleasant.
Nice little place the food was really good.
Dine in or drive thru restaurant known for large variety of ice cream flavors. Also famous for fried chicken. Fun place to take the family. Closed for a few months every winter.
Good food and icecream. Definitely worth the stop.
Truly something special. The best ice cream Ive ever had and quick service.
We love Seneca Farms. Weve made the 2 1/2 hour drive just for their chicken dinner & ice cream more than once. Staff is always friendly. Premises always clean. And the new expanded outside seating area is very nice. A top favorite of ours since 2007.
Ordered cheeseburger, bacon wrap. Wrap was like rubber. Only ate fillings. Mash potatoes tasted like instant and mac and cheese was either frozen or canned. Almost $30 , not worth the money. Plastic silverware very cheap could not even cut salad up. Had to ask for a cloth to wash dirty table off. Very very dissatisfied.
Stayed on Kueka with friends who had fried chicken from Seneca Farms previously. Said it was the best fried chicken, mac n cheese, baked beans and hush puppies. We were super excited and placed our order. They were out of baked beans, not a deal breaker, well just get them next time. Picked up our order and took back to the cottage to eat. The hush puppies were awesome. The fried chicken was okay. Chicken was very dry. Mac n cheese taste exactly like the frozen kind at Walmart from Bob Evans. Overall, if I was hungry I would get food from another place 1st. Not a good first impression for a place that weve heard was amazing.
So my SO and I went here and made the mistake of not getting the fried chicken. We just got tender combos thinking they would have homemade to go with their chicken. Although the corn fritters were super fresh and delicious, everything else was purely sysco food. Purchased frozen and heated upon order. The barbeque sauce was so yucky, nothing like standard bbq. We also had dessert plans so didnt get the ice cream. If I visit again, I will definitely be ordering the fried chicken and ill be staying for ice cream. Food was not bad, just wasnt anything special. Drive thru is ONLY for ice cream, but the set up outdoors is very nice and comfortable for outdoor eating. I even saw heaters.
Local owners producing an all American experience. The hometown feel was real and very evident in all the staff interactions. Chicken is tops and the enormous list of homemade ice creams will blow you away. Great destination stop.
It was ok, very expensive for custard and not much flavor. Maybe the hard ice cream is better.As we were leaving 2 bus loads of school sports teams came in and the owner or manager was screaming for them to wait ✋outside and the door had to remain closed for shop!!She was so RUDE, Had I not purchase my ice cream at the time I wouldnt have because of her screaming. wont be returning
First time coming here. They have Corn fritters with there combos!!!! And low carb options! Very please. And milkshakes were the best I have had with lots of varieties of flavors!
If you are anywhere near Seneca farms homemade ice cream, then you have to stop in and get some really amazing ice cream
The food was excellent and our server was wonderful.
Nice staff with many flavors of ice cream. I got a flurry and it was okay. Nothing outstanding though. Thats perhaps because they were so busy when I was there. Would go back and give it a second shot.
Place is very kid oriented. The ice cream parlor is in the front of the building and the restaurant is in the back. Two separate entrances. Great pavilion area where you can eat and enjoy both.
By reputation one of the best ice cream stands in the area but keep in mind that like most ice cream locations, its pricey. The food is nothing to rave about. Standard fried fare.
Seneca Farms is literally the best ice cream ever!! Always worth the trip
Delicious, creamy ice cream as always. Got the chocolate mocha with peanut butter topping and ohh its to-die-for! Definitely stop by if your passing through town!
Order was messed up when we had dinner, correction for fries took over 15 mins. milkshakes were blah (pb, strawberry, vanilla and salted caramel) and came in tiny cups for the cost. Food tasted ok. Wouldn’t bother visiting again.
If you like fried chicken then this is place. Its a day trip for our family 2 times a summer. Fried chicken, corn fritters, and frozen custard are just incredible.
They have a bin full of $5 t-shirts.
This place has great food which I could tell was made fresh. The chicken and Ice cream I had was really really good! The staff was also friendly and kept things moving quickly on a busy day. The layout also is also nice and creates a good flow!
Could use a sign on front door that entrance is for ice cream only. Went for fried chicken which has an overly crispy batter coating. The meat was very juicy, even the white meat.
The kids enjoy Seneca Farms. The corn fritters are good! I have a hard time finding food to eat as a vegan, however I found out they do offer a Boca burger.Seneca Farms does make their own ice cream, and are famous locally for doing so. Im not sure if there is a vegan dessert option available though.
Great fried chicken & ice cream
Wish the salads had the option of no onions. The potato salad is one of the area’s best, however not everyone loves that much onion. I can’t stomach the macaroni salad. There must be vinegar or something sour in it along with the heavy onions. I know they are a cheap ingredient and makes it stretch farther but it’s a bit much.Also the prices skyrocketed last year and went up again this year. For example I love the flurry. Season end 2019 price was $5. It went up 50 cents at opening 2020. Mid way through the year, it went up another 50 cents and the container got smaller. This year, 2021, it’s still $6 for much less product. I won’t be going as often because I now feel cheated.
Delicious food!The chicken was amazing! So juicy. Will be going back!
Always a must! Their homemade ice cream is the best.
Hubby loved the thick chocolate shake ... his measurement of deliciousness. But those slender straws kept him waiting to melt a little bit more to slurp.
Terribly slow, ordered hot fudge brownie sundae today and by the time they finally handed it out the window , the icecream was all melted and only fudge and brownie left... will definitely be going to macs next time
Pumpkin & cinnamon was delicious. Cappuccino crunch was good too. Lots of great flavors & seating area to relax.
Our family stops here every year on vacation. The food and ice cream are both fantastic every single time! Highly recommend!
Love the ice cream here it is homemade and they have a selection of non dairy as well cool small town feel with fair prices and a huge selection a flavors and presentations I highly recommend this to anyone visiting the area
Chicken was excellent! Had a small dish of dark chocolate raspberry and almond joy ice cream that was also excellent! Highly recommend!!
Nice place to grab ice cream... good quality.Little pricey but its a seasonal thing. Would recommend.
They have fantastic baked beans and chicken
Love the ice cream, they had amazing service very nice and love that they have a drive thru window. Cant wait to try something of their menu. Peanut butter sundaes is fantastic. Overall great place to take family and friends.
Service was good, staff was friendly.However, I dont know if the ice cream wasnt as frozen as it should have been or if the hot fudge was hotter than it should have been but my sundae was soupy. Tasted good, though, so Ill be back.
From the homemade ice cream used for my milkshake, to the fried chicken....totally AWESOME!! Chicken super crispy, and fried to perfection. My sides were dynamite!! I had the mac salad, which tasted like it was just made 30 minutes prior, very fresh. Mac and cheese very good as well!! Cant wait to go back!!
Great ice cream and the employees are nice. Theres a reason this place was packed when we went.
The fried chicken is fantastic. We love the corn fritters(more of a hush puppy), and the ice cream is always delicious! Try the corn fritter Sunday if you like maple sweet and salt flavors. YUM!
Excellent Ice Cream with at least 25 flavors ( probably more). Great Fried chicken in restaurant out back.This place is a favorite for locals and tourists alike.At times EXTREMELY BUSY ( usually between 4and 6 pm) but service is very efficent.Has indoor and out door seating👍
Very nice place with friendly people, quick service and their chicken is as good if not better then KFC.
Great locally made ice cream (they even have vegan options) with an old school feel, they even sell merch inside (hoodies, shirts, onsies etc.) Staff was very friendly and helpful. They had covered seating outside. Place was very clean as well. On the back side they have a dinner that serves a wide variety of food options as well
Best ice cream on Keuka Lake!
Best ice cream in greater Penn Yan area and best fried chicken Ive ever tasted. My kids love their mashed potatoes!
Been loving this place sine my college days. It never disappoints.
The Peanut butter custard is my favorite ice cream they serve. Taco Salad is my favorite meal. Good food and ice cream.
Great place to get some fried chicken or just a dessert and enjoy time with your friends or family. Overall the food is good, although the sides are served in tiny containers and could be improved. The ice cream is fantastic!For some reason the drive thru goes right past the front door, so you can literally hit a car with the door as you walk out if someone happens to be driving through. Watch out!
Great place to stop, have a quick bite and some homemade ice cream. If the weather is nice, there is a nice shady area outside to eat and let the kids play.
Best friend chicken Ive ever had, and the ice cream is fantastic as well. A favorite spot of mine, Ive been coming here for over 30 years, and its always good. Its a special stop even when Ive lived thousands of miles away.
Awesome dinner. Friendly service.
Oh my goodness it was a delightful meal. They had so many choices. The chicken was awesome.the corn nuggets are to die for. They are huge. I definitely would recommend this to anybody in the area. The coke decorations are one of the best things about the place. I absolutely love that.the food was awesome, we had to get a box and take out leftovers home from our 2 piece chicken meal. Thanks for a great meal. We will be back!
They have fantastic icecream and their food is ok. However they are very expensive especially for their ice cream. It is good as its home made but not really a good value. Additionally they have now started to reduce their menu on the weekends, its a bit confusing as you start to order food and the counter worker has to point out which items they no longer carry on the weekend.
I just love this place!! Its my go to when Im in Penn Yan! Excellent food & ice cream!! Never disappoint!
Many flavors (approx. 25) of homemade hard ice cream. Average sized portions. Prices are reasonable. Clean, convenient, friendly service. Also has drive-thru.
The ice cream here is amazing. Everything else was mediocre at best. The burgers were absolutely awful. Overcooked tasteless patties with way too much mayo and anemic vegetables. The french fries were bland. And the corn fritters that everyone raved about? Were just bland lumps of dough with a few kernels of corn in them. Im told that theyre famous for their chicken. But I think Id rather have just had a larger scoop of ice cream and called that dinner.
The food here is always so finger licking good. The prices are very reasonable and the ice cream is all homemade and worth the 5 hour trip down from the north country to get. Highly recomended
Ice cream is the best you will find
I go to this place all the time during my breaks from work and it has never let me or my friends down. The ice cream is on another level with countless quirky flavors to choose from. I have never tried their warm food but all of the people I know say that it is superb as well.
Amazing!! Love the custard flavors and the amazing ice cream sundaes they offer!! They also offer gluten free cones and are careful to ask if its an allergy and they change their gloves!! The grape custard is amazing and so is the pumpkin, cinnamon and peanut butter!!
Stopped on vacation and got a milkshake. Fantastic!
Always delicious. Get the chicken & corn fritters. Follow it with the White Mountain Raspberry ice cream. You wont be sorry!
The place was very quaint and inviting..however the nice fresh hamburger advertised was not hot or made at time if order. It had little taste and was small.Ice cream was great!
If you dont have to wait in line here your doing good but that just means there that good. The homemade chicken and ice cream here is phenomenal. First have a fresh chicken meal with all sorts of extras and when your done you can have the best Ive cream around. All the stuff they make is fresh and homemade. Any time we go here its when we are passing thru the area of Penn Yan or Keuka lake. We make it a priority to stop and wait in any line they have for it. Definitely a highly recommended place to stop over and have a great bite and snack.
Delicious homemade ice cream and the best fried chicken ever.
Best fryed chicken in the area and beyond. Great place for a quick delicious meal. Get the corn fritters and thank yourself later.
Food was excellent and staff were pleasant and efficient despite the high volume of customers. Wait time was acceptable even with the number of patrons. We will go back again!
The food is very good. Many good choices. I hear that the ice cream is delicious, but I did not have any when I was there. The prices are very reasonable.
Got the banana split between two of us...may be a bit too much ice cream but deliciousthis place has an old school charm and quite a lot of outdoor space for socially distanced meals and ice cream. just be careful of the wasps/bees!
Love the ice cream - lots of flavors and choices of soft or hard - along with a menu of foods... Staple for Keuka Lake, Penn Yan area 😁
Good ice cream and generous scoops. Definitely a nice place on a hot summer day after a long day in the lake and the water.
The fried chicken cant be beat and the corn fritters are the best anywhere. Home-made ice cream is the perfect dessert. Next time Im going to try the corn fritter ice cream sundae!
Disappointing.....not nearly as fresh and crispy chicken as before. The corn fritters were greasy and heavy. The vanilla soft serve ice cream was grainy and coarse. This is the second time Ive been disappointed. Probably wont give it another chance.
I would give them five stars for their fantastic ice cream but 1 star for the terrible food. Our fried chicken was dry, overbreaded and overcooked, the corn fritters were not much more than flour and a few kernels of corn, and the gravy on the okay mashed potatoes was bland and gluey.
Amazing ice cream and a really nice area to sit outside to enjoy it. My toddler was very happy!
Really great food and even better desserts. This place is kind of old but the food in genuine and their famous chicken is delicious. They are fast friendly and do a great job at serving quality food. When better is there dessert and homemade ice cream. Try anything in there and I promise you wont be disappointed.
I love their Ice Cream! Theyre one of the only local ice cream places Ive been to with a drive through window! But be fair warned, Ive had a few instances of bad service at the drive through window, be careful and clear about what youre ordering.
One of the best ice cream places Ive ever had ice cream at! I ordered a heath bar milkshake and it was delicious! They have a myriad of flavors, and some change weekly!
We tried fried chicken, fried clams, and buffalo shrimp. The clams were very meaty. The shrimp was nice. The portions are big so be careful ordering.
Great place for sure locally owned I believe great food and amazing ice cream!
Stopped after running Peasant Man Tri. Good food. Mainly burgers and Fried Chicken, had the fingers they were good. Also have excellent homemade ice cream. Prices are reasonable. Can eat in, take out, or eat outside at tables.
My first visit, the establishment was neat and clean, the servers were very friendly and delivered a great quality product for a reasonable price in a timely manner. Nice outdoor area for eating as well as indoors. Definitely will be making a return visit.
Been probably 15 years since last time we were in this area. Nice to see somethings dont change. Still the best fried chicken you can find and an ice creamer lovers dream!
Good food, fair prices, courteous service, well organized Covid separation compliance and the finishing touch, great homemade ice cream !Down the street is Indian Pines Park overlooking Keuka Lake - nice place to eat the meal or ice cream you picked up at Seneca Farms.
Rated one of the best places in upstate New York for ice cream, and theres a good reason for that! Their ice cream is amazing and delicious, and the service is quick and efficient. Beware that there may be a line at busier times of day, because this spot is so popular!
What an incredible place , the fried chicken was the bomb , couldnt believe how good it was , then up front in the ice cream parlor . all home made ice cream , and the peach ice cream was out of this world I highly recommend Seneca Farms , five star comfort food.... I already told my brother and 5 friends
Great food. Great Ice cream. Great service. We have been regular customers for years.
Good if you know what to order - a disappointment otherwise. The chicken breasts are top notch. The chopped chicken with corn fritters drenched in maple syrup is not.
My experience was positive here. I bought ice cream and a 3 piece chicken dinner. The chicken was superb . I was told it was the best around. It was excellent though I actual prefer the chicken at the star diner and cracker barrel when the have. Ive ever tasted such good corn fritters.thd other items such as Mac and cheese and coke slaw were good maybe slightly above average. The ice cream was a disapointment. Ive been here for ice cream 3 times. My main issue was a medium cone was 5 dollars and every time I received a smaller portion than expected. I get it, a medium is two scoops really small scoops. If I werent told it was homemade I wouldnt be able to tell. It was good but not good enough to warrant the price. Good overall but I wont be buying ice cream again and wont be 45 minutes. If Im in area Ill definitely get the chicken again.
Prices are very high! Disappointed in the Chicken, had 2 piece meal and it was over cooked
Good food and the best ice cream in Yates county NY.Well trained workers and friendly.
Ordered the siracha chicken sandwich and it is a great lunch. They have plenty of outdoor seating that helps when the weather allows. Also, there is a pavilion for when it might rain.Im 65 and the place was there when I was a kid.
Wonderful ice cream here, many flavors. Nice seating area outside in nice weather. Small restaurant in back, with a pretty good crowd, but we didnt have any food.
Wonderful spot for Ice cream and fried chicken! My wife and I went there while honeymooning at Keuka and we went there every night of our stay.
Best ice cream around, great customer service. Fair prices. A hometown gem. Great flavors and overall specialty ice cream menu. I hear their dinners are excellent too.
Best ice cream available! All home made with lots of delicious flavors! Had white chocolate macadamia last night that was superb! Great spot, dont miss it!
The best ice cream I have ever had. The Fried chicken, while not the best Ive ever had is certainly delicious. The prices are resonable and the outdoor seeting is pretty nice. The lines may seem long, but they move along very fast and dont really take that long. Seneca Farms doesnt offer table service though, but the great food definitely makes up for it. Overall I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for some good food.
Best fried chicken around! Seneca Farms had been around for years and when I am in the area I always stop in for dinner. Varied menu, great ice cream too, and always great and friendly service))
Its a staple amd a must for some of the best ice cream, fried chicken, and corn fritters on the planet. There is nothing that a little Seneca Farms cant fix.
Food was hot, fast and delicious!
Great ice cream, good food, customer service is lacking. We asked for a low carb wrap instead of a roll. The answer was a flat no. No were sorry. No explanation. No customer service just no. This isnt the first customer experience like this but the strength of the no given spoke volumes.
Cant believe I havent rated this place earlier. Ive frequently visit Seneca farms during the summer and the fried chicken and ice cream are fantastic. Prices are good and worth the product they put out both in the chicken restaurant and the ice cream shop.
Fantastic fried chicken!!! Then go around bldg. For homemade ice cream in homemade waffle cone! The best ice cream. Outdoor seating area with fires, plenty indoor seating. Hurry they close end of October.
Seneca Farms was able to not only get a giant order completed in short time, but while helping other customers. The icecream was cold, but the staff warm and friendly. The retro icecream-mobile outside provided a lot of laughs and fun for the group. An awesome experience!
Loved it!!! Ice cream is so good and so many flavors. I even bought my own half gallon for under $10.
This place is in my home town, so I make sure to come here every time I come for a visit. Love the food. And the ice cream is fantastic. Definitely a place to check out if you are ever in Penn Yan.
Their ice cream is very good, but needs a few more flavors. Suggested flavors would include Cherry Chocolate Chip and Raspberry Chocolate Chip. Ive recently had both those flavors in Cincinnati and they were winners. Made in Cincinnati by company called Graeters.
So many flavors, sundaes and toppings. They offer seasonal fruit milkshakes.
Worst chicken in my life. Dont know what they tried to fry it in but it was not good. Same way for their signature side of corn fritters. Doughy and had nothing that tasted like corn in it. 10/10 would not recommend it and stave it if was my 9bly choice.
Best Ice cream Ive ever had, anywhere. Even the vanilla is a revelation. But the Strawberry Cheesecake...Id hurt someone I love to get it. Id vote Republican for the rest of my life if doing so would guarantee my access to it. It is an absolute triumph.
Good place for locals as well as tourists. Almost always full of people, not somewhere to go if you want a quiet meal. If you like vintage Coca-Cola decor youll love the decor. Pricier than some places, but not too bad, and worth it.
My favorite fried chicken...ever! The corn fritters are great dipped in maple syrup. Seneca Farms is a family tradition whenever were in the area during apple and grape harvest season.
Easily the best chicken in the area, and the side dishes are solid as well. Tons of outdoor seating, and the staff is taking things seriously and requiring masks, wiping things down and generally doing about all you can to keep customers safe. The corn fritters are a must-order item as well.
If youre considering going but dont know if you should... Oh trust me - you should! Best ice cream ever & not pricey at all! Worth every calorie filled bit of heaven.
Such yummy fried chicken! Homemade ice cream and the most silky frozen custard. We love it! Just dont expect anything healthy.
It used to be the place for chicken and ice cream. Their chicken has really gone way down hill in the past 5 years and way up in price. Which is sad. The ice cream prices are sky high. A medium twist and a regular Sunday will set you back almost $11!!!! Its a touristy place thats all. Locals go to Macs where you can get ice cream for a family of 3 for under $12 and they actually have good portions. If youre gonna pay their prices go to spotted duck youll get much better Ice cream.
Amazing 3pc chicken combo, the corn fritters were so good and the potato salad was top notch.
The ice cream and fried chicken are amazing here. Great lunch spot for a day on keuka lake.
Who doesnt love Seneca Farms? The fried chicken and homemade ice cream are totally worth the wait - in line during the summer or until March when they reopen. The customer service is exceptional and its family-run; an icon in the community for decades.
Ran out of chicken white meat. We arrived close to closing and the young staff was in a rush to close down. Took our ketchup and syrup from the table before our food arrived.
Best chicken in the Finger Lakes. Their ice cream is great, but the prices are a little steep for what you get in comparison to other local ice cream shops.
Good ice cream. However, we stopped in because the big sign outside said, Fresh Peach Sundaes which was so appealing on a hot summer night. I was about half way through the sundae when I knew I was disappointed in it but wasnt sure why. Then someone else in our group said, Hey, this isnt peach ice cream. Its vanilla! I went up to the counter and asked about the sundae and they said they always make it with vanilla unless the customer requests peach! Really? Wouldnt you think the other way around? We assumed a peach sundae would be peach ice cream with fresh peaches. Or shouldnt they ask if the customer prefers peach or vanilla ice cream? That was a disappointment. Customers reading this, be sure to specify what kind of ice cream you prefer in your sundae or you will automatically get vanilla.
Interesting combination of fried chicken in one side of the store and ice cream on the other, but great options
Love the ice cream and fish fry. Look forward to reopening every year. Always take grand kids and family out for dessert during warm weather
The ice cream is excellent. Even when the lines are long you get in and out quickly. The small is larger than youd expect. Two large scoops make up a small cone.

2021-07-23Sounds like a great place for fried chicken but the chicken tenders were big disappointment compared to the fried chicken legs and breast. Seems to me the the chicken tenders are more like run of the mill frozen tenders that are then dumped in the fryer. The highlight was certainty corn fritters which are a must try. The dipping sauces of honey mustard and blue cheese were on spot as well.

2022-06-17Very tasty frozen custard. Large portions for the price that theyre asking. On our second visit we had dinner. The Friday fish fry Haddock was excellent. Their fried Chicken left something To be desired.The breading had no flavor in the chicken was overcooked and dry. We were also very disappointed in the corn fritters.

2022-05-16First time here. Noticed friendly servers right away. Fried Chicken is the best Ive ever had and potato salad quite tasty. Homemade cappuccino crunch ice cream completed a fine meal.

2022-05-24We have been here in the past and our most recent visit was a huge disappointment.Had a 2 piece box with a chicken breast, leg and French fries, beans, and fritters. To go.The French fries cold and tasteless, the chicken was greasy and barely warm. We are the meals within 5 minutes after pickup. The food appeared to be sitting around for awhile instead of freshly prepared. Very disappointing!
