The Eis House

Nestled in the charming town of Mexico, NY, The Eis House is much more than your typical dining spot — it’s a cherished local institution that seamlessly blends American comfort food with a warm, family-friendly atmosphere. Boasting a diverse menu that spans from classic burgers and seafood to fine dining staples, The Eis House caters to an eclectic crowd seeking both casual lunches and memorable celebratory dinners.

The culinary offerings here are a true delight for the senses. Imagine biting into their signature EIS EIS Burger, a masterpiece of perfectly seasoned Angus beef, crisp lettuce, and fresh tomatoes, all nestled within a softly toasted Kaiser roll. For those craving bold flavors, the Black & Bleu Burger delivers a tantalizing punch with its Cajun spices, crispy fried onions, tangy bleu cheese, and smoky bacon, creating a symphony of taste and texture that lingers delightfully. If comfort food is calling, the French Onion Burger stands out with a luscious reduction of caramelized onions and melty Swiss cheese that transforms a traditional burger into a gourmet treat.

Seafood lovers will find themselves at home with offerings like the New England Clam Chowder — a creamy, velvety bowl packed with tender clams and savory aromas — and the crisp, golden Fish and Chips, perfectly battered and served alongside fresh-cut sweet potato fries that strike the perfect balance of sweetness and crunch.

For lighter fare or a flavorful midday lift, sandwiches such as the Grilled Healthy Chicken Sandwich — packed with garlic hummus, spinach, roasted peppers, and grilled chicken — showcase the kitchen’s commitment to fresh, vibrant ingredients without sacrificing heartiness.

The drink menu is equally impressive, featuring a curated selection of refreshing beers and fine wines tailored to complement the menu’s robust flavors. Specialty cocktails like the Old Fashion Jack N Ginger or the playful Shirley Temple S add a spirited touch to any meal.
