I went to Annie’s Ruff Cut last week and the experience was interesting in a good way. First thing, getting in can be a little confusing. The parking is in the back and the entrance is only from the back. At first I thought I missed the place, but then I noticed two doors back there, one for the kitchen and one for the bar, and realized that’s the main way in. Once inside, the vibe was great. It’s full of local, friendly people and feels very authentic, not fake or touristy. When I arrived, there was a live singer performing, which made the atmosphere even better. I ordered the chili and that was amazing, easily the highlight of the meal. I also got a burger. I ordered it medium but it came out well done. It was still good, just not exactly how I asked for it. One thing they absolutely get right is the beer. Bottled beer comes out ice cold, they keep it in a cooler packed with ice, and it’s perfectly chilled. Overall, solid local spot with good energy, great chili, cold beer, and live music. I’d definitely go back, especially for the vibe.

There’s a gem in the Borscht Belt called Annie’s Ruff Cut. The locals have known about it for decades and go for the quality and value. Whether it’s the vibe of great food, it’s a carnivore’s must-stop if you’re visiting. The roast beef is served perfectly, sliced so super thin, with that full-flavor juicy reduction for dipping. Order the beef cold, and it’ll be the rare. Or, order it warm, and it’ll be dipped in, just to cook it enough, Also a fan of the chicken wings, but get them when it’s not busy or early on wings night. Bourbon is my favorite. The burger is generously sized and does the trick—it’s delicious l. The Mac and Cheese isn’t worth it unless your kids ask for it.

This place is a staple of mine anytime I am in the area. Sometimes the food takes a little while to come out but its a different pace up there. Relax and enjoy it.
