The Junction

Didn’t expect much when walking in, it’s like a cute dive bar vibe but two dishes blew me away! Whipped feta - so much flavor (not in picture). Chicken thigh grain bowl - WOW. The chicken was perfectly crispy and juicy, and the other ingredients including crispy chick peas and beets tasted so fresh! Also got fried green tomato sandwich, nothing special, but still great experience. Waitress was super sweet as well. Went at 5 pm, no wait, no problem.

Went for dinner tonight and had the chicken bowl which had seasoned edamame, kimchi, pickled cucumber and daikon and fried chicken with a tonkatsu sauce. The chicken was cooked so well and was pleasantly surprised there was no fat on it for being a chicken thigh. The sauce added a nice flavor that went well with the other ingredients. Go in hungry cause this bowl has a lot of rice in it. I would definitely order this again!

Was told this was a BURGER place in a review. Just to find out they had a grand total of 2 burgers. But that wasnt really their fault. What was their fault was the WAIT TIME. 50 mins before the waiter uttered a word other than taking our orders. She then said the chef is working on it now. What was he doing the other 49 mins?? Waited so long my nan’s hip gave out sitting in those high rise chairs. One waiter was kind and understanding but our waiter kept complaining since my nan needed to sit in a normal chair (apparently she was blocking another party from merging the tables) Had to do takeout as soon as the food arrived at the hour mark. FOOD was solid, BURGER was great and so was the chicken sandwich. Though the chicken was a bit smaller then expected. still tasted great but I would NOT come again. Heres a pic of the burger.

Went there with the recommendation from northern farmhouse pasta. Everything was fabulous! The staff was wonderful! The next time I need a pitcher of “walking on sunshine”! And omg the choc mouse and bread pudding were amazing! If you’re in Roscoe definitely stop there!!

The Junction in Roscoe is a must visit bar & restaurant that will keep you coming back with their delicious food and creative tasty cocktails. With NYC just a short 2 hour drive away we came up for the weekend and were lucky enough to get the chance to visit this brand new family run hot spot. Owners Aaron and Misty with chef Evan made us feel especially welcome, and catered to all our groups needs throughout the night. The bar has a nice chilled vibe and a really great atmosphere with high quality furnishings. The food menu caters for everyone's needs with a special call out to the Trout dip starter and the really tasty chicken sandwich. Be sure to sample as many of the cocktails as you have time for since each one of the 6 available are delicious and with Aaron mixing behind the bar you won't be waiting long for your order. Stop by the hottest place in town and be ready to have a brill time and enjoy great company.

This is our favorite place in the area for amazing cocktails, great food, and good times! Best kale salad, best trout dip, best frozen drinks, best servers! Love sitting on the deck in the summer and by the fire in the winter. Cozy cozy!

was pleasantly surprised by my time at the junction. Had wonderful service, excellent food and a delightful time. Can’t wait to go back with friends and family. don’t sleep on the trout dip- warmed saltines are life changing!

We drove 30 minutes here based on the good reviews and had a terrible experience. 30 minute wait for food, unwillingness to accommodate older parent.with hip injury seating request for a regular table instead of tabletop seating. Series of excuses. Lower table has only 4 seats but we were part of 5. We asked if they could add a chair due to limited mobility of parent. They answered they had no extra chairs but there was an empty two seater table that remained empty the entire time. It took 30-40 minutes to get food. After 25 minutes had past and we inquired about delay, the dismissive waitress explained that the kitchen was busy with large tables and the kitchen was now working on our burger and sandwich order. No apologies just strange empty stares from her as if she was apprised we were impatient. Even though we arrived at 8:30 and we ordered in the first 5 minutes with the drinks, we didn’t get food until 9:10. For context there were people seated outside, there were people ordering take out and there was one other larger party ahead in mid dinner with food in the rear. There was a 4 seater table open and a two seater open aside from our tabletop and the 6 person table that has been there. . Sad to say but it was hard to look past that we were the only family of color in the establishment and the only table without food. When the food finally arrived, kids started to eat and I asked senior to sit at the lower table to eat since she was in pain. PS Senior mom is an older Black woman. Waitress immediately came over and said she couldn’t sit there since a party was waiting for the table. Literally no one was there and she made no attempt to offer an alternative even though I explained she was in pain. Finally realizing that we were not welcome or “deserving” of accommodation, I immediately asked for to go containers so that we could eat in peace elsewhere. Then the “manager” came over and said that our senior could actually sit at the table we first asked about and that she would figure it out with the other party. We decided to leave nonetheless as my patience has run out. Suffice it to say this was our first and last time here and in Roscoe in general. Callicoon and Jeffersonville have been great. Very disappointing and disheartening experience on our annual family trek to the Catskills. Never to dine at Junction. Please be warned.

Cool place in a neat little Catskill town. Small, simple menu - but really good options. I think any place that sells pimento cheese with fried crackers is legit. We got the whipped goat cheese app and the chicken grain bowl. Both were really good and hit the spot. Service was a bit slow, we waited a bit for our food.

Awesome place, great staff, delicious food. Highly recommend. We will definitely go back soon.

This might just be my new favorite restaurant in Sullivan County. Came for dinner on a Monday night and it was popping - of course, it's just about the only game in town, but it also happens to be great. (One of the owners worked at Employees Only, which is one of the better bars in NYC.) My party of 4 waited about 20 mins for a table, and I tried: + Frozen dark and stormy cocktail + Fried artichoke hearts + Smoked trout spread + Junction burger + Fried chicken sandwich dipped in honey + Venison ragu + Blue plate special (Mondays only) - shepherds pie + Chocolate mousse The drink was amazing, and the top dishes were the trout spread, burger and ragu. Dessert was also great. Definitely will be back!

Everything was delicious, I had the acid factory cocktail, started with whipped feta, the hubs & and shared the chicken sandwich with hot honey of course. Give them try you will not be disappointed!

1 star for no experience because they turned our party of 8 away. We walked in excited to eat here as the menu looked delicious but they were not thrilled to serve a large party.

My partner and i were in Roscoe, and found The Junction on Yelp. I'm so glad that we happened upon it and gave it a try! The dining area is not huge, but they make great usage of the space. We were in on a Monday and the bar area was full of happy patrons while the dining room stayed steady. We each had a drink and enjoyed them. I had the Boot Scootin' Boogie while my partner preferred the Acid Factory. Our food came out relatively quickly. He had the blue plate special - a Caesar wrap with their housemade fried chicken and waffle fries. I opted for the veggie burger with cheese. The burger fell apart a little but it tasted amazing - easily my favorite local veggie burger. The fries were crisp and the perfect amount of salty. The menu may feel a little smaller, but the food is all amazing. We capped off our evening with the bread pudding, which was an excellent choice. Dense and chewy without being overwhelming sweet, I would happily eat this every Monday night. The service was also excellent. Our server was helpful, friendly, but without being intrusive. It sounded Iike a local table came in often and had good rapport with the staff.

The Junction is what my dreams are made of: flawless drinks, amazing food, solid music choices, awesome service and the perfect decor. I want to live off their fried saltines and martinis.

Put them on your must go to destination! They exemplify great food, drink and what you will just love about their hospitality and that of Roscoe! Awarding app fried artichokes and chicken thigh sandwich both capped with hot honey! This wife and husband duo are friendly and you become family after your fist conversation. I'd say run don't walk and discover your new happy place

SO happy to see some new life added to Roscoe! A bit expensive considering the area but to me it wasnt pricey and so worth it. Owners are such hard workers and try to chat with most tables. Inside is adorable and food was so tasty! Total bill for us came to $130. Including tax, tip, and our full meal. We each had a cocktail, 3 apps and split the chicken sandwich. Everything had great flavor and definitely the tastiest food in town. If id say anything negative, i wish the chicken on the chicken sandwich was thicker and a little more toppings-it was fried to perfection though. And no egg shell for beef tartar even though its fun and interactive for guests. 1000% will be somewhere we stop every time were in town. Highly recommend!!!!

Jewel in a junk yard? The entire stretch of NY Highway 17 has seen better days. No idea why NYC money has not discovered this area. Better for it. Sort of. You could tear down 95% of a 50 mile stretch and start over. Obviously, there was a "hey-day," as broken-down gems are all over, alas way past saving. Then you stroll into Roscoe and find the Orvis shop, Trout Town Flies, two breweries, a Trader Joe's like market, and the Junction (among other local fare). There is also a boutique distillery in town. The Junction is very nice. Small town rustic meets big town quality. Friendly staff. Small but amazing menu. Craft cocktails. Locally brewed beer of course. I had the Pimento Cheese with Crackers and the Mussels. Insanely good after a day on the river. Washed it down with a local brew. What could be better.

What an amazing addition to Roscoe's food scene! Congrats to Misty on the opening of this inviting and cool atmosphere restaurant with a small but wonderful menu with creative fun cocktails to boot! Had the trout dip with fried saltines, the fried chicken sandwich (fantastic) and the grain bowl (also fantastic)! Looking forward to many, many more memorable meals at The Junction!

I'll start by saying that I am a recent transplant to this area from the Philly region, and I am now a local here. I prefer mountains and peace and quiet, but I'm still grateful for a good place to eat once in a while. Of the 5 or 6 times I've been to The Junction, I only have one complaint and one complaint alone, but it's a complaint I have every visit: their customers are egocentric, self-important tourists from New York who think their oversized flannel shirts and Carhartt beanie hats make them woodsmen...and we all know that people from New York city glom on to any possible identity that mimics a lifestyle they could never create for themselves, and then they ruin it for everyone else who actually lives that way for real. I digress... the restaurant itself is a cool little bar and food establishment, with a concise normal menu of great local foods: venison ragout, a terrific Caesar salad, and some good drinks and deserts. Tight but cozy setting, wood stove, dark wood floors- the whole shit. But tonight, there was a "pop-up" led by some lazy shlub who lives in Brooklyn and who, by the looks of this pop-up menu, seems to have ZERO original culinary ideas in his head at all. I paid $24 for a f*cking fried Chicken cutlet on a bed of shredded iceberg lettuce which had some capers and "milanese" sauce on it. That was the whole dish. This tactic of ripping off the concepts that Anthony Bourdain talked about for 20 years, and that Dave Chang already did 15 years ago is so f*cking rapacious and tired and it really needs to go away. This place clearly doesn't want the locals in the area to enjoy their establishment- only the entitled, spoiled rich kids from New York would ever accept paying that price for something I've been making just as well as this pop-up moron did since I was 7 years old. "Tastykake Chocolate Kandy Kakes are SO GOOD MAN, I DONT CARE WHAT MICHELAN STARRED CHEFS ARE DOING, THEY'LL NEVER BE BETTER THAN TASTYKAKE!...Chang and I are the same, man, I LOVE KFC MAC AND CHEESE TOO! So that's why I'm gonna BLOW PEOPLE'S MINDS and make my version of a Chocolate Kandy Kake and sell it for $12. So what if they can get a box of them at the gas station for $4.99, these stupid bumpkins just don't get, like, the MEMORIES that a Tatstykake evokes." I could keep going like this for a while but the bottom line is I like this place normally, but I don't know why they brought this "pop-up" to sell his average food for stupid prices. New York people suck, always and forever- its not my opinion, it's just a fact that everyone else in the country knows to be true. Hopefully the restaurant will be back to normal soon...

Wow! You do not feel like you are Roscoe once you step inside, but feel free to take your drink back on Main Street and sit on the patio. Came in for Father's Day and shared the smoked trout dip and pickled seasonal veggies, both could have been reordered and eaten as our main course. Upward Brewry on tap and the cocktail list to cover anyone's liking. I had the chicken sandwich and my brother went with the burger. Honestly unless I am driving back to NYC this is the place for dinner before or after hitting the river.

Love how there is always something different on menu. That always suggests to me what your getting is fresh! Awesome staff. Rustic and relaxing.

Service was impeccable from the moment we walked through the door. Must try the smoked trout dip! Bar selection is varied for every palate. Go for local beer if possible.

Burger is always fantastic and the go to. Great hospitality and lovely people behind the bar. Always enjoy visiting the Junction.

We were ten hungry gentlemen and they turned us away! They wouldn't serve us! We wanted to crush dozens of burgers and beers and they said "no thanks" to our dollars. We even tried to split into two parties of five and that wouldn't work either. Disheartening to be told our money wasn't green...

Amazing little place in Roscoe!! We sampled almost everything on the menu and were not disappointed. Craft cocktails and local beers were also exceptional. The smoked trout spread and pimento cheese were a great starting point, served with deep fried saltines...you can't go wrong. We also tried the beef tartare, the fried green tomato BLT, the fried chicken sandwich and the grain bowl, all of which are highly recommended. Can't wait to get back again, Aaron and Misty have a great thing going here!!

This place is exceptional, menu is great to pick and mix and you can tell everyone from staff to chef care. The quality and just the friendliness of the place it is an enjoyable experience. Need to find another excuse to be in the area.

Great burger. Delicious fried chicken dipped in hot honey. Get the smoked trout dip with fried saltines. Cool spot. Will certainly be back.

WOW! what a great place! staff, food, beverages are ALL on point. Had the benefit of having Aaron serve us and everything was amazing! Great place and I'm sure this place will be around for a LONG time! It's a can miss place in Roscoe!

Great dinner, trout spread was delicious. Loved the hot honey chicken sandwich. Burger hit the spot

Excellent food, crafted cocktails, hospitality professionals, cozy, Monday Blue Plate specials

First time here - was highly recommended by my son (their burger) which did not disappoint as well as their chicken sandwich - both were delicious! The special starter, Shishitu Pepper was outrageous! Service is friendly. Our only complaint? It was a "packed house" & when we got there no outside tables available; no one wearing masks and with no need to show our vaccine documentation (we are fully vaccinated) we felt very exposed with a group seated inches from us. We're used to NYC standards, and the virus is at 1.1% vs. the 4% in the rest of the state. We will put off coming back for the time being.

What a gem this place is. Great atmosphere. The hosts are super friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Also a fantastic crowd They serve food until 10:30pm which is great for the fishers. Their burger is to die for. Small menu as they have just opened (June 2021). It will expand apparently. The chef is a genius and loves what he does. If there were a six star option I would give that rating. I can't speak too highly about this new place

This is a real gem in Roscoe, which has some really great new spots these days. The menu was excellent, as was the ambiance. The owners are fun and chatty, and have really nailed it.

Had a wonderful meal here on last Saturday evening. We shared the Shrimp and Buffalo Mozzerella appetizer. For dinner I have the Fried Green Tomato BLT and my son and our guest had the Burger. Everything was delicious. Our waitress was extremely helpful. The atmosphere in the restaurant is great. It's a wonderful addition to Roscoe!

Roscoe needed this spot as badly as I needed a great spot for cocktails and delicious grub. The junction boasts of charm, character and the perfect touch of catskill local culture. Hospitality from Misty and Aaron showcase their love for Trout Town USA and bringing some of their fun traditions of Brooklyn. Like the restaurant's name - it's the perfect junction of the two. Highly recommend the Acid Factory cocktail which is the best spicy margarita I have ever had in the Catskills. It does not disappoint! Also thrilled to find healthy and tasty options on the menu. The salad bowl is great in portion size - doesn't skip out on the greens or the fixings. And if you're into trying something more protein oriented - Don't miss the fried chicken sandwich (to die for ) Thank you for this amazing experience. Can't wait to be back !

This place caught our eye on the way back to the finger lakes. It's almost brand new and clearly has a strong local following The menu is small, which to us means they are to do it well. And they do! The local smoked trout spread was great and the fried spiced saltines were unique and an excellent accompaniment. We both had the burger, which was crispy and tasty. Folks next to us had the chicken sandwich & salads. Those got 2 thumbs up too! Because we were still a couple of hours from home,we did not sample the cocktails, but again they looked good and other patrons assured us they were wonderful. It's a small place with limited porch seating, but it's a great stop along highway 17 in trout country! Definitely will recommend and stop in again!

Dreaming about those fried saltines and smoked trout spread. Probably the best appetizer I've ever had. Loved the cocktail menu as well. The Boot Scootin' Boogie was my favorite. I had to try the fried Chicken Sandwich too and it was soo good. I can't wait to return.

So pro's - nice bartender, good drink, ambiance. We liked the fried artichokes and fries. Con - I asked the waitress if the chicken sandwich was spicy. She said she didn't think so and I ate a sandwich filled with a jar of cayenne. It was inedible! And when I told her - she laughed, rolled her eyes and was dismissive. How incredibly RUDE! Ruined the entire experience. To add, the flat burger had chunks of black pepper. I couldn't tell her that bec she walked away! Coarse black pepper should not be on a thin flat burger. A thick burger - yes - not on a flat one. It tasted fresh but I couldn't eat it. I love black pepper but it should only be coarse on a big burger or steak. My friends liked the spicy chicken but also said it wasn't for someone who asks if it's spicy and the waitress didn't even care that I order two entrees and couldn't eat them. The waitress needs an attitude adjustment and was the only person who was unkind in that town

The food was delicious. 1000%chance of Mr coming back to eat here again. Until next time yall

Had a cocktail here a few weeks ago and it was amazing. The decor and vibe are great as well. Excited to try some of the food soon and update this review!

Delicious food! Lovely and lively atmosphere. Hope they will add vegetarian dishes to the menu. Great new business!
