The Yum Yum Shack is a wonderful restaurant and always on our dining out list whenever our travel takes us to Cooperstown. A warm welcome upon arrival and friendly, efficient service. The dinners are consistently excellent. My favourites are the exceptional fish dishes and one can always choose an interesting entree from the daily specials offered. mh, ny more

My family and I ate there because several people gave the place a good review. These people really must not have high standards. The food was horrible. The steak was tasteless, the salmon really dry and when we asked for bread we were told they had no more poppers but would bring out faccacia, well they brought out dry old... more

My son and I spent the day at the Baseball Hall of Fame and afterward began looking for a place to have dinner. Not knowing anything about Cooperstown, we had no idea what we might find. Traveling south out of town we passed by the Yum Yum Shack and decided to turn around and check it out. We were very... more

We ate here a few weeks ago, when in town for the Dreams Park baseball tournament. There are a lot of choices when you're only in town for 5 nights, but we actually ate the Yum Yum Shack twice! The food was fabulous, and the owners (Chef Dave and Donabeth Neil) were as hospitable as you an imagine. We had... more

They should call this place the Yuck-Yuck shack! We waited an hour and half for greasy overpriced food. The meals all came out at different times (some 1/2 hour apart) The kids meals were $10 each and were overcooked and extremely small portions. We actually had to stop at McDonalds because the kids were all still hungry! The poor waitress... more

Dinner at the Yum Yum Shack last evening was a disappointment after having read all the reviews here. It was OK. We started with calamari, which was good. I had a duck special that turned out to be a few very fatty pieces of duck over a very, very large bed of greens. My wife had salmon, which was fine,... more

Our last night in Cooperstown we found this wonderful little resturant off the main road. The food was amazing and so was the service. It was sun down when we were there and we ate outside, the view was very nice. They had torches and small candles all over. There was bugs, but the food and service was so great,... more
