Friday I checked out the newest restaurant in Herkimer, NY, Stone Soup American Bistro and Beer Garden. I had heard from friends that it was a good place to eat, and the outdoor seating area was lovely. It took me a couple of tries to be hungry at a time they were open, but then I had a great meal!
I had been watching with interest the work being done on the empty storefront. As soon as they had a Facebook presence, I followed that. The name was inspired by the children’s story “Stone Soup.” The lettering on the sign comes from different locations across the country.
I opted to sit out back, in the beer garden. I was early, so tables were not filled. I ordered a smash burger with homemade chips. I am a sucker for homemade chips!
This would be a great place for a group of friends to meet. I must gather a group of mine soon! In the meantime, perhaps I will go there for lunch and get a picture of the indoor seating. And sample more of the menu, of course.
Stone Soup American Bistro and Beer Garden is located at 148 Main St., Herkimer, NY. You can check their Facebook page for menu and hours.
