Lynch's

"There were not a lot of restaurant options in the area and so I guess this is probably a key reason why this golf course restaurant seems to be a popular choice. We were in a hurry looking for a place to eat and it wasn’t clear from the initial search online that this place was at a golf course so we were a bit surprised when we pulled in. It was pretty crowded partly from reservations and partly from a golf event that day, I think. The food was ok; the service was good."

"This place is super, super under the radar if you're not a local. It's not unusual for me to take a quick look at Google Maps by my office to scope out some potential lunch spots, but Lynch's wasn't on there - it took me almost a year to discover that it even existed, and it was only because it showed up in my nearby Yelp activity feed that I checked randomly one day. Part of the issue is that Lynch's apparently changed locations within the past year or so, but this is a lesson to keep your eyes open and your radar attuned. I did not expect to end up having a meal randomly at a golf course, but here we are. If you're coming from 202 and have never been here before, it's easy to miss the turn to the restaurant - the prominent signage for some reason is facing southbound drivers, so I actually drove past it the first time. I'd put something out for the northbound adventurers in the future. It also didn't occur to me until I was actually in the parking lot, but of course there's a slight risk to your car when you park next to a golf course. There was tons of nearby netting but I side-eyed the "Park At Your Own Risk" sign pretty hard as I drove by (a sign much easier to spot than the one for the restaurant). My car was perfectly fine; something tells me the gentleman on the nearby putting green was not much of a threat. The fall foliage was at absolute peak, so even if this had been a dumpster fire of an experience, at least I got to admire the scenery on the way in. The vibe is hard to explain, but my biggest takeaway is that the bar/restaurant isn't their bread and butter. You can see from the adjoining dining areas that this place is probably into catering events more than serving day-to-day customers; there were at least two banquet hall-type rooms, and it looked like you could sit down there for lunch, but it seemed more appropriate to me to either sit right at the bar or at one of the nearby high-tops. It's also interesting to be in a restaurant with prominent views of the trophy cases and golf pencils out in the main area of the club. This is not a golf course I'd describe as bougie compared to some others in the tristate area, but there were definitely a lot of old white guys namedropping Westchester and Manhattan in one part of the bar, while local Rockland old white guys were in a different section. It was an interesting non-diverse mix. The women at the bar were very nice and hospitable. I was given a menu immediately, and I had no issues tracking anyone down; they were nearby at all times, ready to assist. I went with a plain hamburger cooked medium rare with a side of fries. Honestly? Not great. The burger was not cooked evenly, and the vast majority of it was close to well done, which I consider to be pretty tasteless. The middle bites were by far the tastiest because they were actually more medium rare, but the entire burger was pretty greasy and I had to be careful in how I handled the bovine because the grease kept dripping onto my hands. Not something I'd get again, though I did like the automatic inclusion of the English muffin, which is an underrated cattle accompaniment, in my opinion. The fries were pretty good; they definitely needed ketchup for flavoring purposes, but by and large they were crispy (which is my preference) and did the job. It's hard to walk away from this thinking about a potential return visit, but the service and staff were very good - it makes me think again that this is more of a candidate for a birthday party, etc. than a Thursday afternoon bite."

"Friendly staff, very nice atmosphere and good food! I had the best french onion soup here, and the steak sandwich was delicious too."

"Food is okay, service is good, and the atmosphere is split between bad and okay since it's great for families and seniors but terrible for young couple dates."
