Excellent food and drinks..great specials.. server and bartender was awesome!!

We drove out to Herkimer last night for our son’s travel basketball practice and needed a place to grab dinner and relax while we waited for him to finish. We were hoping to find something decent… and ended up finding a gem instead. Asteroga Ale House was exactly what we were looking for. The service was fantastic, the atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable, and the portions were huge. I ordered the prime rib sandwich, and it was absolutely perfect. We also got the beef nachos, and when they brought them out, they basically covered the entire plate. They tasted just as good as they looked. This place checked every box for us. Great food, great service, and plenty of it. Safe to say we’ll definitely be coming back again… and probably bringing friends next time. Tip for anyone going: bring your appetite!

Absolutely love this place. Jessica was our server and she is the best! Couldn't ask for better, more friendly service from someone. I'd give her 10 stars.

I frequently visit this little bar restaurant whenever I’m in town. The food is delicious, the bar is clean and the staff is always friendly kind and curious. Every time i go there to eat they are always busy yet somehow Jess never seems to miss a beat. It’s really quite impressive because she manages to work the bar and wait tables running back and forth without letting your drink go empty. The food is delivered as soon as it hits the end of the bar and you’re never left waiting. The kitchen staff is always fast and on point, a never a disappointment. Hands down I would highly recommend this diamond in the rough for some American bistro style eats.

We had several dishes from the Calamari to the Italian Burger to the Bacon Cheddar Burger, Roasted Red pepper Gouda bisque, Tuscan chicken panini, Buffalo Mac and Cheese,the Everything Wings were to die for BTW and the taco salad. The guys had some craft beers and the blackberry strawberry cider. Great atmosphere and place to stop while traveling through..... Service top notch, food even better!

Asteroga. A very fine establishment that is a bit of a hidden gem in Herkimer. I have visited here countless times now. I strive to see consistency in a restaurant environment, of which Asteroga delivers. They come up with very unique specials that are always delicious. I love me a good burger and Asteroga has many different ones. One visit I tried their "sliders" which were really three smash burgers packed full of brilliant flavor and talk about juicy!! Another burger I tried was the Cowboy Burger I believe they called it which was a burger, onion rings, fried pickles, and pulled pork all one sandwich. I could hardly smash it down enough to fit in my mouth. The flavor of it was phenomenal, everything blended together perfectly and melted in your mouth. One of their weekly specials is Taco Tuesday where they offer $3 tacos for dine in customers at a certain time on Tuesdays. Let me tell you, for cheaper than you can get a taco from Taco Bell, you can get one at Asterga which is astronomically better. Wonderful flavor and packed full of meat with some lettuce, tomatoes and other toppings. Let's get to the wings. You want some amazing wings at below market price? Head down to Asteroga on thursday wing nights where they have 75cent wings or on Sundays during football season. The wings are so delicious I will order them even if it not during these days because I am craving them. The only thing I wish they had was fresh cut fries. The fries they have now are pretty good, but nothing beats fresh cut and if anyone could make them really well, it would be Asteroga. Despite having a bar, Asteroga is sill an amazing spot for the family. I go there a lot because of the inviting atmosphere they have every time I walk in. I can sit down, put my stresses aside and enjoy an amazing meal with amazing service. I have gone there both with my family as well as with buddies at the bar and every single time I go in, I have an experience that makes me want to come back time and time again.
