Food was excellent but a bit loud. We enjoyed our meal but the tin ceiling seemed to let off an echo. more

My husband and I were camping in the area and I was treated to a wonderful meal at the Yum Yum Shack for my birthday. The owner was VERY personable and accommodating from the moment he picked up the phone as we made our reservations till we left. The food was absolutely wonderful. Had a first time experience with special... more

My girlfriend and I enjoyed the whole experience. We stopped first for a late afternoon drink and we were charmed by the nice decor and warm staff. We returned later for dinner and it was truly amazing. From the appetizers to the pasta carbonara and then the salmon entree, it was truly a delicious and special dining experience. Take it... more

Some locals took us to this very modest little place in rather tacky industrial location because they raved about it. Evidently the appeal was that they knew the owners, who were friendly enough. But the food was third rate. We ordered steaks and three of us had to return them - as being over-cooked. So if you are a local... more

We were in Cooperstown from Chicago for a 12 year old baseball at the Dream Park and not expecting culinary delights. We were delighted to find YumYum Shack and discover the creative, inventive cuisine. The fish was very fresh with interesting preparation and presentation. The outdoor seating was a treat, lovely and relaxing. Service was great In all, a great... more

This place is fantastic - exceptional food and wonderful service. We started with a great salad - mozz, roasted red peppers, toasted walnuts, over greens - you'd think it common, but the balsamic dressing was out of this world. Fried calamari nicely done, again with an unusually good dipping sauce. But the main course stole the show - for me,... more

I came to this restaurant to get something to eat after a tour of the Ommegang Brewery. It's rated #1 on tripadvisor. It's a great place to eat. Make sure you sit outside, if the weather permits. It's a seafood restaurant, so make sure you try some of those dishes. Everything is fresh and tasty. The entrees are a bit... more

They Yum Yum Shack doesn't look like much from the outside, but since it was mentioned in the Rachel Ray magazine we decided to stop. We were so glad we did. This was by far one of the best meal my husband and I have ever had. I had the bone in pork chop with blue cheese and tarragon sauce.... more

I had the Pork chop with blue cheese terragon sauce and my husband had a seafood entree and for an appetizer we had the pesto shrimp. The food was amazing. The staff was wonderful and knowledgable. I was disappointed only with the fact that the cups where plastic and the napkins white washclothes. Overall, I am very glad the Yum... more
