The Autumn Cafe

Eating here since it opened several decades ago. Not the same place. We have eaten a few times since it reopened, won't go back again. Limited menu and vegetarian dishes we could have lived with if quality was better, it wasn't.

Thanks for your response:
Last week I had the open veggie dish. It took over 45 minutes to arrive, the top was completely covered with carrots over brown rice. The waitress said there were problems with the vegetables, I guess broccoli, etc. so they basically left them out. Why didn't she come back and ask us (my friend had the same dish) if we would rather have another dish seeing that they couldn't fulfill this one? (He was also disappointed, neither of us finished the meal)

A few months ago I had this dish with fried tofu. I got 7 small pieces of tofu over lettuce for $11.00. I though they made a mistake and it was an appetizer - it wasn't!
At the same meal my wife got a veggie burger that was all over the plate. I ate my 7 tofu chunks, we laughed and left. I rated it as one of the worst meals I have ever eaten out.
I don't complain at restaurants, I go back just to make sure it's not just a bad day. After two or three bad days I stop going and write reviews.

6 of us had an awesome lunch here on 10/18. 3 had the best hamburger they ever had (really) and my chicken fajita was great. Our waitress, Erin, was perfect! A fun atmosphere, too. There seemed to be a steady stream of customers; yet we weren't rushed and didn't have to wait too long for service. Nice place!

You really get what you pay for. I was only briefly a vegetarian, but on that front their vegetarian/vegan selections are pretty solid and have plant-based protein. The vegetarian sandwiches in most places are just subs with the meat taken out of it, but at the Autumn their offerings are actually sustaining, filling, and TASTY.

Their regular menu offerings are pretty superb. The specials don't get too crazy, but they can introduce you to new and interesting flavors. It's the restaurant equivalent of having a foodie friend. You wouldn't think to try something until they offer it, but you know you can trust their judgement and that it's going to be good.

Great atmosphere/ vibe inside and out. Lotsa space. Nice bathrooms. Need to swap out "sling chairs" on outside patio for better seats. When I sat back in seat, I couldn't reach table. Had to sit on edge of seat to eat. Very uncomfortable. As far as food, very good salad / dressings but super small entree portion. We had bowl and fajita. Both very bland. Entree Portion sizes were closer to appetizer size. Waitress service was great! Would come back for drinks, appetizers only!

Very good food, intriguing menu and plenty of options on tap. They treat you well and the atmosphere is lovely with the new renovations. Outside area when its nice out and comfortable and warm on the inside. Great place to take someone you love and care about it Oneonta. Will continue to be a patron and the burger is AMAZZINNNG.

I have given here a few chances but normally leave underwhelmed. Recently, I came here with a reservation on the deck for brunch, and they didn't seat us at our table until 20 minutes after our reservation time. We ordered right away, but our food didn't come for 45 minutes after we were seated. They did not appear busy so I don't know why everything took so long. We got our food (the huevos ranchos and avocado toast special) which I found both to be just okay. The huevos ranchos mainly tasted like salsa to me - like jarred salsa. The avocado toast was also on the bland side and served on a poor choice of plate. They used a skinny, long cutting board which looked nice but was not functional at all for runny eggs. It made a mess and dripped all over my legs through the table when the yolk was pierced. I will say the cocktails are a plus here, though.

I heard everyone raving about this place so I decided to give it a try and boy I wish I hadn’t. This was the worst food I have ever have. I got the spring rolls and they were undercooked and mushy. We also got the big mac flat bread and that too, was meh at best. The cheese wasn’t even melted. We also got the Korean bbq bowl and the pork belly was hard as a rock. All in All I will not be back.

Horrible service. It literally took 45 minutes to get my food all I ordered was a burger and fries. It wasn’t even that busy either. The food wasn’t even good and the fries were soggy.

Did NOT enjoy the food at all! The pork in the Korean Bowl was so tough it broke the plastic utensils and the rice was just disgusting-, the kinchi a spicy hot mess that did nothing for the dish. the spring rolls were ice cold inside and gummy outside! The Big Mac Flatbread has potential.....no pickles on it, cold, cheese wasn't melted and a slight dab of special sauce...but it's a great idea! The young man at the podium on 5/1 at about 8:30pm was just mean to the couple in front of me and nasty to me....either retrain him or say good bye!

Great food, creatively made, featuring quality local ingredients, served with a smile. A must for locals and tourists alike. Great beer selection!
