Kayuta Drive In — Restaurant in Town of Remsen

I was vacationing in Rome, and on my way to Pixley Falls State Park, I needed something to eat. This was one of the restaurants that showed up on Google, restaurants near me. Since I'm traveling with 2 little dogs, the "drive thru" stood out. I ended up parking and walking in. I ordered the fried fish sandwich and fries that the man at the counter suggested. I wished the fried chicken meal was available in all dark meal; it came with both dark and white meat. I ended up getting the sampler that has chicken tenders, fried mushrooms and mozzarella cheese sticks with fries. The food took 10 mins to cook, so I decided to have dessert first. I ordered the strawberry soft serve. They didn't have any hard ice cream. The strawberry topping coated the vanilla soft serve. Amazingly, my finicky dog loved the ice cream. My other pup loves ice cream period! 😋 When I went back into the store, the lady saw me walk in and she went to get my food. She was very friendly, and commented that she looks forward to reading my reviews. 😁 The fried fish was a nice cut of fish, lightly breaded. The buns was a bit heavy for me that when eating with the fish, I could hardly taste the fish. I ended up skipping the bun, and the fish was delicious, and flaky which is what I love. The cold slaw was interesting. The cabbage and other veggies in it were diced into small pieces. It tasted good, but because everything was in small pieces that has a texture that I didn't care for. One of my dogs, the brown and white one, is sooooo finicky who won't even eat filet mignon. To my surprise, she liked the chicken tenders. The chicken tenders were very tasty, lightly breaded, and juicy! The fried mushrooms were in variety of sizes. The mozzarella cheese sticks were a nice size, not too skinny. The fries were cooked to my liking. They were softer, not crunchy, and the inside was not cooked all the way. They were harder in the inside. I like my fries very soft in the inside and slightly crunchy on the outside. The restaurant and ladies restroom were very clean. Overall, I would come back if I'm in the area again... I want to try their seafood platter with fish, shrimp and scallops. I missed it on the menu until I looked at the picture of the...

So, so, so many flies! Workers seemed so uninterested in being there and even left our food uncovered on the counter (with all the flies, for who knows how many minutes) because they made no effort to let us know our order was up; even though we were sitting at the table closest to the door and “drive thru” window. And, no, it wasn’t busy when we ordered or got our food—the ladies working were literally eating ice cream cones and talking behind the counter when we left. All of that and the food wasn’t even good! We got burgers and cheese/chili fries: the burgers were decent but the fries were soggy n unsalted and the cheese was gross and obviously cheap. Overall, it didn’t match the pricing. This place has potential, but, unfortunately, the cute and quirky clown diner theme can’t carry the health code questionable cooking situation and subpar,...

Tried supporting a small buisness but was quite displeased. Ice cream tasted chalky, coating barely stuck to it, half the menu items were out, hamburger was disgusting-no taste really runny, bread tasted like it was buttered- there was an abundance of watery stuff in bottom of container. They were very pushy and seemed to rush you when you asked questions. The owner i believe was behind window with girls and didnt seem to friendly or appologetic when something was said. I understand that alot of things are out of stock do to covid but mark it on menu or something. If they hadnt started my ice cream i would of gone someplace else as really wanted a decent dinner to. For almost $40 i was...
