Carpie's Grill - Cuba, New York

Last year I was on the fence and gave them a 3 star.This year all the bad about them is even worse.
They are literally just baking, microwaving, and air frying everything.
Portions are even smaller now and even more overpriced with even less quality.
I went with 8 family members all seated at different tables and none of us were even remotely impressed. My niece and nephew were so hungry after their tiny expensive meals that they begged us to take them for happy meals after.
The steak sandwich was literally 3 tiny pieces of steak on grilled cheese. How pathetic.
Not only that, but the lake was super littered with trash just floating around so we weren't even paying for a nice view.

2023 3 star: It's a fun casual place right on cuba lake ran by teenagers.
You can park on the street up the hill/stairs, park in a lot up the hill/stairs that's across the street, or dock your boat there.
It has open doors with fans (no ac so it's muggy), bar stools, and dock seating.
Ice cold beer, land shark was great.
The chicken Quesadilla was delicious, but $12 for a small with sparce chicken and no sides was too pricy.
The chicken pesto sandwich has great flavor, but it was tiny with hardly any chicken at all(only a few chunks). When we were there they ran out of chopped chicken so a waitress stopped serving and chopped chicken on the bar for the boys in the kitchen. I think that's why there was almost none in the sandwich and only a little in my Quesadilla. $16 for 4 little chunks of chicken each sandwich half and a handful of chips was EXTREMELY over priced.
We'll give it one more try to decide if we just got screwed over when the chicken ran out or if they really do just give scraps as a policy.

Whether you're on foot or on your boat this is a great little spot to stop in for cold beers and good food. Super friendly staff makes this place extremely pleasant and enjoyable. A go-to spot for Cuba Lake.

There’s a reason you can’t find food pictures when you search this place, was in the area trying to find somewhere to eat, and after trying to go to three different places that ended up not working out due to different reason, we ended up here. Very small menu, I got the steak sandwhich which wasn’t too bad but the quality of the food is just trash, we wanted fries but couldn’t up charge it to what we ordered had to order a whole basket, they came out and pretty sure they were cooked in an air fryer and pretty much. Most of their drinks are served in a can or bottle No fountain drinks available. The atmosphere was decent sitting by the water and soaking up the sun was nice. The waitress staff was decent but this place was just not something to write home about if I’m being honest. Not somewhere I would go back and give a second chance to.

It's a nice little place. You sit outside on the dock and the waiting staff are very nice. The French Fries were very good. I enjoyed the Cuba Burger as well. The kids fed the ducks that came up dockside. It was a very nice experience.

Nice place and nice waitress. The food was terrible and tripleover priced. Wife had a Italian steak sandwich. Which all in all was a grilled cheese with a couple beef strips with a couple peppers and onions almost 20.00 bucks . Had chicken strips which corn meal Perdue with chips 12.00 upgraded to fries another 8.00... Great views from there but the food was really bad.

Food is way over priced and very poor grade of food .. Everything is cooked in a microwave or a hot air cooked.. 8.00$ for hot air fries 1900 for a basic grill cheese with a couple of thin strips of beef TERRIBLE.. Service is good and A nice place for a drink but stop there food is unfit ..

This is a neat, casual place right down on the water. We had some drinks and some fries and onion rings to snack on, too. The girls working all were friendly and did a nice job and our server Megan took good care of the 5 of us. Nice variety of drinks and food available, and the prices weren’t too bad. We sat at the bar, but there’s also nice shady area around the side.

The fries are the nice sort of breaded ones and the onion rings came with sriracha mayo. We’ll be back before the summer is over! 😊
