The 50 best breakfast and brunch in Finger Lakes

Ithaca Bakery is a beloved local gem, blending decades-long tradition with creative, fresh offerings—from artisan breads and bagel sandwiches to comforting soups and café fare. Its laid-back, indoor/outdoor vibes make it a perfect morning hangout or casual lunch spot. While some menu items lean pricey and lunch hours can get busy, the quality, friendly service, and community-driven spirit keep people coming back. Just double-check your order—and maybe try the cake if you’re feeling adventurous!

There are so many options from bagels to beverages, hot sandwiches to a cold case full of goodies. So many baked goods, and a great selection of oils and hot sauces that would make great gifts. Our food was great, everyone was friendly, and we’ll definitely stop in again when we visit the lakes.

We visited here multiple times over last weekend. Food, coffee, the Mexican bagel, and ended up buying 10 different marmalade flavors to gift to friends. This 100 year old bakery has something to offer to everyone. You can spend a quality time here growing the menu, their merchandise too.

Lots of options! Ordered the reuben and it was soo good!!! Place was very busy around 1030. Place has some parking. People are in and out so you should not have problem looking for a spot. Met some locals and were very nice to give us recommendation and tips for our hiking trip! A must visit if you are in town!

What a great place to get breakfast or lunch! Lots of vegan and vegetarian options which is a huge plus. Cheryl is super friendly at the cash register! She is such a sweet person! Would highly recommend this place.

Very yummy plain gluten free bagel with chicken sausage, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and egg. I didn’t have time to make breakfast and I’d never eaten here before. It was conveniently nearby my route to work after dropping off my rental car. It hit the spot. I’d definitely go back when I’m in Ithaca.

Excellent bakery/coffee shop/grocery store/sandwich shop with their own parking lot. Amazing people working here! We enjoyed mocchachino (they make decaf as well), croissants and grabbed fresh sourdough bread.

Cool place, with a neat vibe. Service was great. But, food was just OK. I had the corned beef eggs Benedict, and my wife poblano avocado omelet, both on their "breakfast specialty" menu. The hash was super salty, and tasted like it came out of a can. The dish was good...just not great. Wife reports the omelet was good as well, just nothing to write home about.

Large quaint small-town diner reminiscent of the Gilmore Girls, but nicer. It's an easygoing family-friendly diner with great attentive service. The staff would check in periodically to offer coffee/tea refills, etc, at just the right times. We had the perfect leisurely brunch on Saturday. The experience was so nice we returned the next day. It was a great way to round out our trip to Rochester before driving back to NYC. PS: love the non-gendered bathrooms! Both were spacious, comfortable, and clean. Thanks again!

I was visiting family in Rochester, and we all met for breakfast at Jines Restaurant. It took me a while to decide what to order, as they have a very large breakfast menu. I ordered the spinach, bacon, and cheese omelet, and it was delicious. The staff is very friendly and the service was great.

Great restaurant! So delicious. Banana bread french toast (with diced walnuts). Home-made corned beef hash and Greek dishes. Fantastic customer service. Highly recommend. Ladies, use the 1st bathroom.

We love making time to stop in for breakfast or lunch. It’s even better where the weather is right and we can sit outside! Service staff is always friendly and food quality and portions are great. Love the local vibe in Rochester, NY my favorite are the pancakes..🥞 Randy Spurling On the Spot Cleaners

Great service! Food is good and love to be able to sit outside! All park ave restaurants should have heated outdoor areas like they do in NYC. So you can eat outside all year.

I have been to Jines maybe 5 to 10 times in the last 10 years. I've always had a good experience. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Place is clean. The atmosphere is cozy especially with the natural light coming inside dining area. There is outdoor seating. I've mostly had the breakfast food and it's always delicious and prepared well. They also have GF pancakes that are way better than others I've had around the area. And other GF options. Including using separate cooking areas for those most sensitive. If they make a mistake they promptly make it right. If you think it seems pricey, the quality is bumped up compared to a typical diner and very good portions. It's comparable to eateries in the area that are similar in quality.

I tried to go here for breakfast on a Saturday at 9am was told there was no open table until 1245pm. The website says walkins welcome but they were not on 3/30. We made reservations for dinner on 4/18. It was crowded. I didn't realize that it was so small inside. The bar is like a kitchen and not accessible by patrons. The kitchen is open which is fun if you had a table that you could see it. The service was great. I got a chicken sandwich which was good. I was unimpressed by the side choices. The appetizer came out with our entrees which was not expected. The drinks were good. It was very warm inside and no windows were open. I'd try it again for breakfast, but will make reservations first.

Some hits and misses. The breakfast sandwich and lemon raspberry crepes were absolutely delicious — definitely the highlight of the meal. On the other hand, the breakfast tacos and chicken & waffles were underwhelming. The waffles were drenched in syrup, making the dish overly sweet. Drinks were mixed: the latte was watery, but the cappuccino was solid. The strawberry shake was too sweet for my taste. Service was a bit slow, but not terrible. Overall, I’d probably come back to try more from the menu, especially for those crepes!

Service was great, Gabrielle was wonderful! Food was delicious! Drinks were amazing! We got the breakfast crepe with bacon and added avocado, it was very good and the avocado was perfect! We also got the Berry Grulee and it was delicious as well, we liked the fact that you could add the crepe to the bite so it wasn’t overly sweet.

The food was impeccable. The pumpkin smoothies hit all the fall spice cravings and the delectable banana crème crepe was very well balanced and not overly sweet. The Roasted potatoes were very well seasoned and crispy and the burger was dripping with cheese. The wait staff were also very polite, professional and friendly.

I stop by Simply Crêpes in Pittsford every time I visit Rochester, and it’s always amazing! The savory crêpes are my favorite, especially the Chicken Tarragon and Thai Curry. The food is fresh and flavorful, and the service is always friendly and welcoming. Definitely a go-to spot!

Had a great time here for Sunday Brunch. Despite the busy period the service was prompt and food super delicious. Had the Breakfast Taco which had a layered flavor being savory (especially with the bacon) with a tint of sweetness. Portion was just right to leave some space for me to try the Oatmeal Crème Brulee, which was also superb. The 30 min wait for my table was definitely worth it!

Simply Crepes lives up to its name with its simple crepes. Several options ranging from savory to sweet, breakfast options, dinner options, and non-crepe goods. A fairly long drink and coffee menu as well. However, wait times are long and not worth it. The other location near Eastview mall is generally a better experience.

I had high hopes, but in the end, i was drastically disappointed. We went in as a group of 5 and only 1 of us had an enticing meal. The chocolate chip pancakes: dry and bland batter. The side for those pancakes were turkey sausages for $5.99… more like two mini pinky toe sausages… so not worth it, they were tasteless. The chicken and waffles: small, cheap chicken (they were chicken tenders) and one dry, bland waffle… for $16… what a joke. The highland skillet: the seasoning didn’t exist… salt and pepper doesn’t come to mind at this diner i guess, and the gravy was flavored so peculiar. The steak and egg sandwich: also unseasoned, but once it was drowned in ketchup it was edible. the breakfast burger: the only meal worth the price and was moderately seasoned. Overall the food was just underwhelming, but let’s get to the drinks… the milk was in a smaller cup and was priced at $3.99 and i didn’t even get a refill. the iced coffee, which was in a larger cup, was priced at $3… and the milk was barely cold. I was crying inside. I left still hungry and sad… I expected more. See pictures as proof.

All around excellent diner! So many choices and the food was delicious! The owner very gracious and our server was so nice too!!

As locals, we surprisingly haven't tried this restaurant until earlier today, and though it's cute and the service was prompt, the reviews had us hopeful for far more than what we received. With the purchase including a Dr. Pepper, a vanilla milkshake, a burger (medium) with fries, and a vegetable skillet with medium poached eggs, the total came out to ~$42 before tip. Unfortunately, I have to agree with the customer who found the flavor to be lacking, as did my spice-averse companion. Though each table comes equipped with salt, pepper, mustard, ketchup, red hot, cream, sugar, butter, and jam packets, the food itself... did not seem to be seasoned at all. The burger was juicy, but lacked any real flavor, the fries were okay but lackluster, the milkshake barely tasted of more than cold frothed milk, the home fries didn't seem to have any flavor beyond oil and potato, the vegetables tasted only of the lightly-sautéed veggies and oil (with a little bit of vinegar from the artichokes and red peppers), the eggs were soft poached and fresh, but flavorless - the only real seasoning flavor in the skillet was Asiago cheese, and frankly the white bread with grape jam was the most flavorful part of the experience, even after liberal salt, pepper, and hot sauce. The saving graces were that the diner was clean, service was prompt, the atmosphere was cute, and everyone was marginally friendly. Still, it isn’t someplace I would visit again barring someone else taking me, and it isn't someplace I'd recommend to friends or family. If seasoning isn't really your thing, though, this would probably be - unironically - great for you. I don't fault staff in the least, and frankly think everyone there likely deserves a pay raise for the efficiency they displayed - we tipped > 20% because of the staff alone, and because we don't feel that decisions made by the owner oe management should impact the staff's take home pay. The experience was just lackluster overall. Something I'd be okay with from a 3 star location, but not so much from a diner rated close to 5 stars.

Good classic diner with healthy breakfast portions. Service is good and old style car atmosphere.

Fairly old diner old style diner so inside is kind of a retro. It's old so it looks old but there's no cleanliness issues that I saw the bathroom. There's two bathrooms but they are small but there are two. At least I'm on to the food. I would be like to get the smoked salmon which comes with a bagel. Very good smoked salmon and a decent amount where you can put it on the bagel with the cream cheese and then we still had extra. So I would keep the lettuce to wrap up the rest of the salmon and eat the rest of it so you get a pretty good amount of salmon for. I think it was like 13 something. I also had some some other omelet dish that was gyro or something with feta cheese which is good and my wife had pancakes once and some other item I don't remember. But again, we've been back at least two or three times and we enjoyed the food. Each time. The milkshake was very expensive at like $89 and it was just okay so I would say maybe don't get it unless you really want a flavor

Best Monte Cristo I've had in years. Great coffee and skillet breakfast as well.

This diner is amazing. Housed in a authentic dining car. The menu is monstrous with amazing selections. The restaurants cleanliness was a 10 plus and also the rest rooms. Potato pancakes were delishious and home fries were real potatoes with skins cooked to perfection. Highly, highly recommended!!!

I ate here based on Google reviews. I was not impressed. When I arrived at 9:30 am it was not busy but the service was very slow. My server was inattentive and didn’t express any interest in my wellbeing. My food was delivered so slowly that I had to rush to eat and then hustled to the register to pay because I knew that my one-hour parking meter was nearly expired. I was parked less than five minutes from the cafe, so you can see it took me 50 minutes to get my meal, pay and rush to my vehicle. I had three minutes spare. Google directions are inadequate. The photo shows there is no signage only for the cafe. When you go through the entrance you need to take the stairs down and then walk ahead. There is a funny smell in the lower level where the cafe is.

Wonderful staff, cool location and general vibes (love the fish tanks), and delicious food. The Kai omlette with sourdough toast was excellent. The kitchen easily and effectively handled my wife's dietary demands around celiac disease. Reasonably priced to boot! Will absolutely return. Great job all around! Thanks!

Oatmeal was loaded with pecans and currents, delicious cinnamon spicy layer between bowl and oatmeal. If you like oatmeal I would highly recommend this. Arrived at opening time (8:30), but they were off to a slow start. Specials not available until 10. Woman at checkout was pleasant and helpful. Waitress was somewhat efficient but didn't seem happy to be there.

Great place. Everything was delicious, especially the tomato chutney. The drip coffee was much better than you’d expect from a diner. They buy it from a local roaster. Great experience. Very friendly.

Had a delicious brunch with friends on a Sunday morning. Staff was fantastic and attentive. Food was excellent and fast. We had a group six and everything was spot on! I ordered the pecan waffle special. This waffle was wonderful...made with browned butter, topped with chantilly cream, toasted pecans, and drizzled with maple syrup! Yummy! Featured in the photos are items that our table ordered: Waffle Special, Eggs Benedict, and the Omelet Special. Will definitely return! What a gem. FYI - cash or check only.

I live right nearby and love their service and locally-sourced food. Food is good, selection nothing too amazing, but just really solid. Free coffee refills are a plus! It's no wonder there's always a huge line during weekends. Staff are friendly, though service is not very fast. Plan for a little extra time to finish up a meal here.

Got "The Denny" takeaway here today and highly recommend. Brekky sandwich was perfectly made with fresh ingredients, soft yummy bread and the flavors were yum. Absolutely will be going back to sit down and try the rest of the menu.

Great overall experience. Flavorful dishes down to the coffee had a very present grounded beans flavor compared to typical watered down diner or as I would call it ‘gas station’ coffee. Had steak and eggs and it was perfect! My family’s dishes were just as enjoyable.

Delicious food, atmosphere and the prices are reasonable. I had the rattlesnake pasta and that lasted me for days. You get a lot for what you pay for.

A classic American diner. Freshly made food pretty fast! Hearty breakfasts. Stellar service! Friendly all the time! It has been in SYR forever. Constantly busy but they manage it all well. Free parking.

This is a diner with yummy breakfast choices! Had a basic scrambled eggs with sausage and hash browns and toast. I enjoyed it with the bottomless coffee refills. There was quite a a wait as it was Sunday morning but they turned over the tables quickly so it was only a fifteen or twenty minute wait. Not bad at all. Service was pleasant. They got out the food quickly. Decor is basic diner, clean, a great place for diner food. No complaints! If you don't mind sitting at the counter when a stool becomes available, then there is no wait at all.

Went to Stella's Diner by chance as we were looking for a place close by to have breakfast before getting back on the road. Waitress was pleasant and attentive. She made sure that our food was served hot and our coffee cups were full. We were surprised with sizable portions that tasted good 😊

Classic diner, fast and friendly service. Great food with lots of options. If you don’t like waiting, I would suggest getting there early morning.

Very nice breakfast with the fam. Went at 11am and the place was absolutely packed. Despite that, the wait time wasn't horrible and neither was the wait for the food itself. The workers were very efficient in keeping things moving and the service we got from this older woman was excellent. Overall a good spot and would definitely go back.

The atmosphere was delightful, clean and decorations on point. We had some ricotta cheese toast to kick off our dinner along with some cordon bleu chicken and rugby crepe dishes. All our plates were amazing– from portion size, flavor and consistency to pricing. The reason I’m giving this place 4 stars is how rushed the whole interaction with our waitress Ashley felt. Don’t get me wrong, she was fast and attentive to our needs, but it felt as if we were being pushed out the door before we were ready. She brought us takeout boxes while we were still in the middle of our plates, then had a check ready when we wanted to move on with dessert. Not five minutes after our dessert was out she came by with a handheld computer to check us out. It caught me off guard, I was again still working on my dish and taking in how good my strawberry crepe was. She earned her tip, but uncomfortably managed with speed and a strange rush to end our meal. We’ll absolutely be back though. Their crepes were amazing lol.

The Chicken & Waffles Crepe is likely the most pleasant culinary mouth experience I have had. The hot, crispy, juicy, savory chicken... sweet maple bourbon sauce... crispy salty bacon... a beautifully tender crepe... Perfection! I have had it both with and without the bacon cream sauce, and I find it too rich with the sauce. Ashley K helped us out today and made our visit extra wonderful - thank you!

Excellent place to go for breakfast. Great breakfast food options, specialty drinks, and a great atmosphere in a great little town. Food was delicious, atmosphere was great, service was excellent. I ordered the make your own omelet and it was cooked to perfection. A friend ordered the banana ans strawberry crepe and that looked amazing. If you are anywhere near this place, I would recommend stopping in and ordering something.

Great food, excellent service, wonderful atmosphere. I love Canandaigua and all the shops on Main Street. It is always a joy to stop in and reserve a table (because it’s always a 40 minute wait) and then walk around to the different shops. My wife tried the fall turkey crepe and it was honestly the best thing we’ve had here. It was delicious. We ended up splitting her food because there was so much and we both loved it. The turkey is juicy and delicious, the crepe wraps together this delightful turkey dinner that includes bacon and cranberry cream cheese. It was perfect. Meanwhile I ordered the breakfast crepe, which was honestly a mistake. It was dry and needed maple syrup or something. It just didn’t compare and I regretted getting it. I ordered some toast on the side, which was okay. We also ordered some crepe chips, but most of them were burnt or soggy. The ones that weren’t were delicious and paired perfectly with the cream cheese frosting dip stuff. Honestly I wouldn’t get them again. I will definitely bring my wife back here, but probably not frequently. There are other solid brunch spots in Canandaigua.

Architecture and ambience is absolutely unique and beautiful. Servers are friendly & efficient. Meals were far more unique and gourmet than expected - a really nice experience. We tried the Nutella Crepes with strawberry & banana ... exquisite. Chicken & Waffles Crepes - excellent texture & fabulously unique sauces. Crepes Madame - tantalizing and unexpected flavor combinations! Maple Stackers - classic comfort food with high quality sausage. Only negatives - server did not offer refills on the bottomless coffees, until we asked for them at the very end of the meal. Cream & sugar would be so much nicer if served with a pitcher/pourer instead of all the messy containers and packets. Coffees are delicious! Thanks for the special brunch!

We got the chicken and waffles (crepes) and an omlette. Food was just average (chicken was dry) and not presented very well, serving size pretty small for the price. The server was nice, but it took quite a while for us to get our food (about 30 min). It wasn’t that busy either - lots of empty tables at the time. Maybe people go here for the dessert crepes or something else more popular.

Delicious food and friendly staff. When we arrived we had to wait just a few minutes before we were shown a table outside at the back of the restaurant. It was quiet and peaceful. We inquired with the staff on places to visit and other potential meal choices, since we were visiting the area. The staff where very knowledgeable and full of recommendations. Excellent food. We particularly like the Cordon Bleu for a savory dish and the caramelized banana crêpes for our desert.

Sure! Here's a 3-star review based on your ratings: ★★★☆☆ – Mixed Experience at Horizons Restaurant and Lounge We visited Horizons Restaurant and Lounge in Geneva-on-the-Lake with high hopes. The atmosphere was definitely the highlight—relaxing, with beautiful views and a welcoming ambiance that made for a great setting. For the price, we expected better food. Overall, it’s a nice place to enjoy a drink and the view, but if you’re going for the food, you might leave disappointed.

Ee stopped in at Horizons Restaurant & Lounge to find something for breakfast. Two of the four of us decided to eat at the buffet style breakfast. We got there and had to wait quite a while to be seated. So two of us just had coffee only. (After finally being seated. And food I mention, the place was not crowded! ) The two that ate said the food was bland. The service was almost nonexistent. And at the end they tried to charge for four meals! We had to get that addressed before the bill got adjusted to reflect the correct amounts. Not the best place to go, but it was one of the only places open, unfortunately.

My review is based solely on the location and the views from the hotel. We stopped for lunch but it was closed. We sat in the back and recorded a few songs enjoying the magnificent views. We had the luck of catching an eagle flying by.

I just wanted to say this place was wonderful. We were definitely a little under dressed for this place and was still treated with so much class and respect. I have to give a huge shout out to our waitress Jacqi. She was absolutely fantastic. She was so nice. So professional. She spoke with so much class and tbh when she spoke she reminded me so much of Drew Berrymore who is my favorite actress. I’d highly recommend this restaurant and to request her as your waitress. You won’t be disappointed!

We had a large party of 13. The atmosphere was nice and beautiful at sunset. There wasn’t that many other tables, maybe 4 tables and the food seemed to take a while to be served. 5 of us had the Geneva Burger. 3 hours later, we all had stomach issues and vomited. The burger was so-so; 3 cooked medium and 2 cooked well done.

Had the buffet breakfast on Sunday morning. Food was nothing special but the service was great & the views of the lake and the landscaped property were priceless.

I was actually surprised by some of the low ratings. We had our breakfast there this morning and it was absolutely wonderful. The buffet was awesome. They even have a build your own omelette station.

Loved the food and they do a great job serving fast and taking care of everyone. We liked it so much went back for breakfast. Got so much food had enough for next day. Great food and good prices. Wish we had found it earlier so could have went more.

Old school diner with everything that you would want from a retro feel diner. Portions are huge and the specialty shakes are absolutely insane! Wait staff is friendly and fun, and the atmosphere is perfect for that burger and shakes old school diner.

Stopped on a whim, hungry. Very busy on a Friday afternoon about 5pm but we found a seat at the counter. Immediately waited on & food came quickly. Hot, fresh, abundant & a excellent fish fry supper at a great price. Cool place, lots to look at, quite popular. Cash only with atm in entry way. No alcohol, ice cream fountain available.

Visited Connie’s Diner for the first time and was not let down! Small place, seems like it gets pretty busy, but I didn’t have to wait long before getting a table. Service and food were great! Had to get a loaded milkshake, even though it was 9 am! They serve the whole menu all day too. They are cash only, but I read that they have an ATM on site. Will definitely visit again!

A beautiful American diner located in Upstate NY, in the heart of the Finger Lakes region. I had the most delicious club sandwich I’ve had in years, along with a small fudge sundae. The beautiful décor and amazing service deserve 5 stars. I’ll definitely visit again when I’m in the area — well worth the 5-hour drive from Manhattan

Went to celebrate a friend's birthday 🎂 🥳. There was maybe a 5-10 minute wait, not bad at all. Food was amazing, same with the service and atmosphere. There were 3 other birthdays and they came out to sing for each one. Can't wait to go back!!

Arrived at 930am on a Wednesday morning. Full parking lot was a good sign and as we expected food, service and atmosphere were exceptional. Just the breakfast we needed before our day of hiking.

The drinks were served quickly, they were delicious, and the prices are good. However wasn’t impressed with the Caprese salad and grilled cheese I ordered. Took them forever to make and the flavor was just not there. Save your money for their drink menu

After roaming the sunny but cool autumn streets of skaeneatlas it was time for coffee and some treats at the bakery. The Viennese swirl was amazing. The pastries simply crumbled and melted in the mouth. The cream with the raspberry jam just added to the deliciousness. The coconut covered donut was fresh. As was the drip coffee. Awesome experience. Wish they had kept the handwritten boards instead of the tv panels. Have taken off some points from the service as my better half had asked for a cookie to be warmed up which could have been just zapped in the microwave but a firm no nixed that. Would a 15s zap been that bad?

The Diner Breakfast Sandwich was the best I’ve had. Incredibly fresh, soft ciabatta roll. Heavenly aioli. Wife loved the blueberry scone. We’ll be back!

Very friendly staff and cozy place. The donuts are delicious and the chocolate croissants to die for. Recommendation: go early morning before the lines gets longer and longer

Had the bakery club and it was very good. The bread was delyand toasted to perfection. All the ingredients tasted fresh and the bacon was nice and crispy!

Fast service, delicious hot fresh-made cake donuts, delectable pastries, and great coffee! Great location right in the heart of the downtown area. 5/5 stars!

I am stating the obvious to anyone who lives in town, but the Skaneateles bakery is AWESOME! I eat there at least three times a week and it is always consistently excellent. Great breakfast and lunch sandwiches, I am eating one as I write this. The bake goods are also excellent and the staff and owner Chris, who is usually there , are always very efficient and friendly. They are never understaffed and always smiling. We are very lucky to have such a great place in our village! Shout out to Alicia, and all the staff for always being so friendly no matter how busy they are! Looking forward to my next visit!!

Amazing breakfast with friends. Sat outside on a perfect morning. Great selection of food with fair prices. Staff were amazing and accommodating with our group of 8. Food was very fresh and tasty. Service is top notch. Be sure to buy a few of their hand made coffee mugs.

Having had a highly satisfactory lunch here, the six of us understood why Water Street Cafe was full of diners. Luckily, we spotted it on the map in Geneva. During our five-day Finger Lakes vacation, my roasted pepper chicken soup in this Cafe is the one that stands out! Their balsamic vinaigrette dressing on their green salad with chicken, avocado, cucumber and tomatoes was equally delicious. Our friends were all happy about their chosen lunch. Their staff are attentive, pleasant and accommodating of our request for three separate checks. To give you an idea how reasonable lunch is here, my bowl of creamy, tasty, tender chicken soup and my hubby’s salad described above cost us $17. Our friends’ checks were a bit more or less than ours. All of us were full.

Fantastic French toast! If you can snag a table outside, definitely do it… otherwise, consider getting your order to go, as the indoor atmosphere and seating are pretty underwhelming. That said, the food was excellent and a great value!

So this is a great little hole in the wall spot. It is a little tight inside with space but overall it comfortable. The portions are large and very reasonably priced. I made the mistake of getting the half portion of the biscuits and gravy along with half a fritata and it was an immense meal. My wife went with the omelet and it didnt disappoint either. The sausage gravy was delicious and the biscuits were a nice consistency, not too dense. They were very diligent on their coffee service sport some very nice mugs for sale. All in all a very family friendly spot to grab a good breakfast in the area.

I've only had breakfast here but it was great! The service was fast and friendly and the coffee was fresh and hot. I hear it gets a little busy but I highly recommend it.

Visiting area with friends we were looking for a good breakfast place early. Found this one open and since we like diner style restaurants, we took a chance. They were very busy but we got seated quickly and also waited on quickly. Great value for the breakfast options and so delicious! Found out we could purchase the breads so since we enjoyed the raisin bread we both bought a loaf to take home. We loved the good size coffee mugs and the frequent refills. Highly recommend this place if you're in Geneva.

Service was not good. Four at the table ... two breakfast were delivered and then nothing. Had to hunt down where the food was. How does a server not notice two people do not have their food ... and that server took the orders. No apologies given . Some food good (farmer omelet) others not (BLT etc). Can not recommend this place.

As it was my first time going to this restaurant, I was optimistic to go and buy and try their fresh juice as it is in their menu. As soon as I went to them to take my order, I asked her where the mango and pineapple were in my juice. I did not see their source in the juice I ordered. The cashier told me that it lost the cranberries, which loses all the colors of the other things added to the berries. I told her that this is something convincing. I paid the full expensive amount without giving her a tip because I suspected that the juice might be adulterated. So I took the juice and left because they would close at 6 pm. As soon as I arrived home, I did not drink it immediately because I was fasting, and I decided that the fresh juice would be my breakfast for fasting. As a biology student and researcher of living materials and sources that cannot be seen with the naked eye, I decided to add a sample of the juice that I bought for a huge amount and use my electric microscope to make sure that the source of the mango and pineapple was added to my juice. The surprise was that my juice did not contain any sources. For mango and pineapple according to my request and according to the huge amount that I paid, this is a big deception as this is my first time going to this site, and as long as others are satisfied with the deception that their juice is made up of everything they asked for, then it is okay as long as they will pay a high price for fraud and deception, but I will recover my right peacefully and the deceivers will pay a high price for their audacity to deceive customers by not adding the sources of the buried order and as the cashier went far away fleeing from the reality of the deceitful deception that she is skilled at as soon as I asked her about the source of the mango and pineapple that I paid for in my requested juice and the price of which was buried high, as long as this is their audacity with deceit and deception it will not last , if there where options to not give them any star I would choose zero star according to their scams

CTB is a great place to have a quick bite when in Ithaca. The bagels and the sandwiches are good. Prices are also very reasonable. There are no table service, and the line to order could be quite long at peak times. However, the line does move fairly quickly as the staff taking the orders and the staff preparing the food are very efficient.

College town bagels is what it sounds like-but top of class. Shown by the fact that I think there are at least 3 locations- downtown Ithaca, one right "on" Cornell U. campus, and one in a mall on East Hill in all in Ithaca. Efficient system of huge variety of bagel breakfast hot sandwiches, regular sandwiches, chips, etc. Great coffee, teas, at a pretty good price. Also prepared to go meals, salads etc. My fav bagel is the rosemary salt- so good- they often run out! Try the Bronx or Brooklyn, varieties of egg (real) with bacon or ham or cheese... Vegan options as well- with faux meats etc. Usually great service-occasionally young staff can be spacey but overall like I said "efficient" system of ordering at counter and getting it called to pick up when done.

They've had the best bagels in Ithaca since they opened. Wide variety of toppings and sandwiches. High quality coffee, snacks and drinks. Quality candies and chocolates as well. This location could use a larger bar for 1/2 & 1/2, sugar, lids etc. But the place is well maintained, has indoor and outdoor seating. Young, friendly staff who pay attention to you. Food was well prepared and came out quick.

True to it's name. Warm and friendly staff with plenty of options for breakfast.

Great bagels! The menu was overwhelming and I didn’t know where to look first to figure out my order. Ended up with a great plain bagel. The turkey panini was very large and fit for two people. Overall nice atmosphere and good seating. The staff were very helpful too. Hope this helps!

Good food and coffee, nothing mind blowing but tons of options so that’s good. Service is kinda eh. Was my first time and the lady got annoyed and snappy when I tried to pay at the first register not knowing there’s a second line to pay. She was older with white hair.

CASH ONLY!!! I admire that they got the best tax rate discount you can get. It would be nice if they offered credit card payment…other than that, one of the best breakfast places.

Large portions. Food was ok. Biscuits & gravy was all gravy. Could hardly find a biscuit. Exceptional service. Waitress was excellent

This place was absolutely amazing. The food was delicious, the staff were friendly and fast. Truly enjoyed ourselves. We bought some of their cinnamon bread before leaving and it was incredible. Highly recommended this restaurant.

We had a great experience here at Wade's. The food and service is outstanding! The portions are great. And it's awesome to see people lined up to get in. We were lucky to get a seat at the counter (which sometimes I love more than a booth) to watch the work. As out of towners, we look forward to coming back here in the future. I wish them continued success!

Nothing like a small town dinner. Wade's Dinner is a excellent place for breakfast. The staff was very nice and even gave me a behind the scenes tour of where the make their delicious raisen bread. I am very impressed with the small town dinner.👍

Wonderful little diner in Oswego. The seats could use an upgrade but overall the interior is good enough for comfortable seating and while the establishment is small, the layout is done well so they can fit plenty of parties. Outside seating is also an added bonus when the weather cooperates. The food was excellent and served quickly, hot, and accurate. Coffee carafé on the table! An accomodation that has been lost on many other diners and restaurants. The staff was friendly, helpful, and non-instrusive. They stayed busy and worked hard the entire time my party was there. Excellent service! Highly recommend!

Wades is a small old fashion diner in Oswego NY which is well known for breakfast. The locals all visit and the word has gotten out because when we visited on a Thursday there was a line out the door. Definitely worth the wait. Wades serves breakfast and is only open until noon. Raisen bread is a signature on the menu. And you may also buy a loaf to bring home. Home made nice thick slices filled with rasin and cinnamon soft and delicious. I highly reccomed it. If your a coffee lover you will love the fact that Wades provides a full craft of coffee at the table.( just like the old days) Wades starts out with water and proceeds with your order. Unless you order a small juice be prepared for a large glass of ice cold juice accompanied with a straw for slirping. I ordered the bacon and cheese omlett. Which I highly recommend. Breakfast omlett comes with home fries and your choice of toast which of course was the raisen. The bacon was not at all greasy cut up into small pieces and was accompanied with the right amount of cheese. It didn't ooze out into the plate. Homefries were delicious. A nice crust on the sides but potatoes melted in your mouth with full flavor of a potatoe. Not at all overly seasoned. This was our first visit to Wades but won't be our last

Had a great breakfast! Hubby loves the BVille fritta which is a huge Italian frittata including pepperoni and sausage, peppers, and onions, and lots of cheese, good bread. You will not leave hungry portions are huge. Server quick and upbeat, and absolutely great.

Road tripping around upstate NY isn't complete without stops at diners and this one's as legit as they come! Would highly recommend their shakes with whipped cream (I got the chocolate one and added peanut butter 🤤). Partner had one of the steak options and licked the plate clean and they were super accommodating with making me a delicious egg burger with all the fixins since I'm a lacto-ovo vegetarian.

Amazing place with amazing food it was very busy at the time i went in but the waitress was amazing and attentive I can't wait to go back!!

Go for the grilled cheese stay for the Ryan Gosling. No joke Gosling is there. If you want to be authentic get a white hot dog, with meatloaf and salt potatoes. Or just get diner food. Don’t order salmon. Just be cool. Can’t give it a five. Diners can’t get to 5⭐️s. Grew up here. Can’t knock it. Half the staff went to HS with me or their kids, grandkids, grandparents or parents did.

The staff is very friendly. Service is quick and food is great. Kitchen staff does a great job getting orders out fast. Happy to see the kitchen staff wearing nets to cover their beards while they are cooking.

I enjoyed our meal here. Love the atmosphere of a real diner. I ordered one of their house meals. A meatloaf club sandwich. It was good but I think I'll stick with the more traditional turkey club or just a meatloaf dinner with mashed and gravy. But hey, that's on me for going off the tracks. Otherwise a good place to eat. Although I didn't get one this time, be advised they make awesome milkshakes! See the receipt for pricing and the pictures.

Fantastic burgers. Incredible Monte Cristo. Hard to believe the chili won awards. Great battered fries. Very attentive service. Cool vibe. Definitely will go again.

Such a nice diner. Very good food. We did the fish fry and the sassy chicken sandwich (which my husband LOVED). the fish was huge and crispy. The onion rings were perfect. Very decent pricing as well. Fantastic staff that worked like a well oiled machine together. If we are in the area again, we would definitely visit again.

Purely by accident we stumbled upon this delightful spot. Diner-esque, they server breakfast all day. Friendly staff, Debbie was terrific and efficient, kept the delicious coffee flowing. I had the corned beef hash omelet which was superb. My bride had the breakfast burger which is a burger with just about anything you can think of on it - surprisingly she dubbed this the BEST BURGER of her LIFE. Daughter had the same and thought it was terrific. The menu had many more options that caught our eye and it would be great to be in the area more often to be able to frequent this establishment. And yes... they do sell jelly beans.

Best homemade breakfast. Just passing through. Happened to stop in. Had the corn beef hash and eggs. Everything tasted like made from scratch. Wife had the scrambled. Nice portions.Reasonably priced. Excellent service. Thx Melissa.👍🏼 Place was a bit cool for a cloudy day. Bring a jacket.

wanted sit down breakfast at a small business with my husband, had a rough time somewhere else and left before being sat. came to Jelly Beans as we have never sat in there before. immediately greeted despite being busy. we came at 1:15ish and asked if that was too late as they close at 2. Debbie was amazing and made us feel so welcomed. got to admire how cute it is inside. staff all worked together and we got our food quickly and it was perfect. got to enjoy our breakfast. we did run a couple minutes over but Debbie and other staff out on the floor (also amazing) still checked on us and made sure we were good. we enjoyed our experience so much and it really has set the tone for a great day. thank you so much to Jelly Beans for having us and giving us beyond top notch experience. it was what we wanted and more. will be returning. you guys are blessed to have the staff representing your business. again - shout out to Debbie and thanks for serving us!

This was hands down the best meal I had on my trip to the fingers lake area. The food is very affordable and very good. The lady that served us was very nice as well. I loved the cream of broccoli soup. I highly recommend eating here!

Great for breakfast or lunch. Huge portions - pancakes are full plate size (about 10") so 2 were plenty. Can add on sides (e.g , bacon etc) to main entrees for less than the a la carte cost. I had 2 pancakes and 2 eggs with a side of bacon. One pancake was slightly overcooked on one side but that was the only dowside. Sandwiches we saw at other tables were huge. Can be busy but wait was short. Clean restaurant with friendly staff. We're in town for the Wineglass marathon and they had a sign welcoming runners - and the large portions fit the bill

Came here to have lunch with a couple of friends after shopping. There was plenty of parking and we didn't wait to be seated. The server was very nice and she was prompt with everything. I wasn't impressed with my food. I guess maybe it was my fault for not asking some question. I got a chicken Ceasar pita. It tasted more like a chicken speedie wrap made with a pita shell. I was anticipating it tasting it like chicken Ceasars salad. I can't eat onions and there were onions in the wrap. It didn't list them. I guess I should have asked, but I have never had onions in my chicken Ceasars salad. The fries could have been crisper. But then again maybe that is just my preference. The restaurant is handicap accessible. They have tables and booths. The bathrooms are also handicap accessible. They take cash, credit card or debit for payments. You take your bill to the cash register at the front of the building.

The service was outstanding. The coffee was excellent. We had a late lunch of burgers and fries. The burgers were cooked perfectly but we had two issues with the burger buns. They seemed a bit stale and they were much too fragile for the burgers. After just one bite they were breaking up. The regular and the sweet potato fries were both delicious. We finished with a slice each of cherry and blueberry pie. A great finish with our second cups of coffee.

A nice spot for breakfast and diner food! The food here was bare bones, no frills, very simple. Each dish was prepared well and fair. Although nothing too outstanding, it was quite enjoyable! The service was great.

Last day of our last minute getaway before we hit the road on a 3 hour drive back home. The staff was friendly, the food was delicious. In a previous review somewhere else I stated that we love small family diners and this one did not disappoint. So yummy!!

We were searching an American breakfast and we find it at Curly’s Family Restaurant. Excellent service and good cooked.

“Great local spot in Watkins Glen! Friendly service, tasty food, and a relaxed atmosphere. Perfect stop if you’re in town

Very friendly family restaurant. Moderately busy on the day we ordered. Will Definitely recommend the omelette (western omelette - it contains ham but if you don’t want that there are multiple options like turkey and bacon ). Waffles and french toast are not as expected and strawberries are not so fresh. Coffee has a nice taste and can be refilled multiple times. Would recommend a Cappuccino.

Nice little family owned restaurant. They serve lunch and breakfast. Come have a seat in one of their booths or tables and let the servers here pamper you. They are very friendly and efficient. The place and bathrooms are clean. There is a pretty decent sized parking lot. The parking lot and the building are wheelchair and walker friendly. It is within walking distance to several motels and Airbnb's. They take cash, credit or debit cards. Family friendly so bring your kids.

I arrived shortly before nine along with 3 other people and even though they were closing at nine they took care of us. Great Customer Service

Halloween and Fall has hit the shelves at Cracker Barrel’s Country store! Mid July May seem early if you are not a Holiday enthusiast, but now is the time to shop! They have Cracker Barrel exclusive decor. I found it hard to resist some of the new items. The store is packed with merchandise and though I did not dine there this trip, it smelled amazing! I have previously had brunches and Easter Dinner at this location. I’ll definitely be back to shop and dine. Update I brought my kids as a post Easter late lunch early dinner. Service was efficient, and friendly. The food came out pretty quickly, it was a Monday afternoon so not busy. My son had steak and eggs, which he enjoyed but the steak was unevenly cooked and extremely rare. Teenage boys aren't very picky and the steak was consumed before I could even comment! My daughter had the Oreo Stuffed Cheesecake Pancakes. We each tried a bite as well. Pure sinful chocolate cheesecake delight! I recommend sharing as a dessert. They are so rich, my daughter could only eat one. I had the Saucy Chicken Sandwich with Tennessee Hot sauce with steak fries. I should have tried the sauce before pouring over the chicken, it hits you Smokey, bbq, then the hot! I love spicy and hot but this was different, and has the highest calories of the sauces. Chicken hand breaded with the perfect crunch to chicken ratio. Loved the sandwich pick with iconic barrel on top! Steak fries served hot and crisp added some pepper to give them a bit more flavor. Love the old fashioned ambiance and the Cracker Barrel store! They still have the checker boards my kids used to play as children. I hope with many Cracker Barrel's being modernized they keep the old fashioned feel, keep the nostalgia alive! It's code orange Ghoulies at CB! Halloween is in full swing on display! They have the sold out online vintage blow molds in stock! So run don't wait the blow molds are highly sought after, and are predicted to be heirlooms for us holiday haunters! Always love the nostalgic vibe of the classic store with oodles of merchandise! Tons of summer novelties as well. I didn't eat this visit as I already broke the bank with my hauntingly amazing Halloween purchases! But I did sign up for the rewards membership and scored a complimentary shareable appetizer as my first reward, good for thirty days! I'll be back to cash in on that and the summer menu looks delectable! The staff was very friendly and retrieved the huge haunted house blow mold from stock and delivered to check out.

The store is nice to walk around and look at things. They have lots of old fashion candy (like Lifesavers cream and coconut candy bars). The server was so nice and sweet. The fried catfish was unseasoned and bland, even with hot sauce. I got over medium eggs and the eggs were Sunnyside up. I ate what I can because my server was nice. This place has "The best pancakes" crispy edges and buttery and soft in middle. Perfect. It did seem like the cooks do not listen to the server and forget items. Overall okay meal.

My visit to this cracker barrel was amazing! My waitress, I am not sure of her name, she had blue glasses, very kind. We ordered the chicken tender meal, w/ mac and cheese, fries, chicken noodle soup, and the waitress brought us the best cornbread and biscuits. A not so good day, turned great with the deliciousness of this establishment. Food was 10/10 would highly recommend this location. Absolutely no complaints for dinner around 5:30 pm. No wait, comfortable, enjoyed the games at the table, and was really warmed by the staff’s presence. Was even convinced to buy candy on the way out by our waitress, which 3/$5.99 bagged candies was a great way to end the night!!!! Also- gift shop is a must even just to peruse.

I've always loved Cracker Barrel! Never a bad experience or food. The staff have always been warm, friendly and helpful. My meal this time was the Fresh Strawberries pancakes(with real maple syrup), scrambled eggs, crisp bacon and iced tea. Everything was delicious! There was just enough food to give me a 2nd meal for home. The store always fascinates me with all the variety. Colorful, nicely arranged displays with holiday items tucked in.

The tour bus pulled into The Cracker Barrel in Cicero NY last night for dinner. What a great place, huge menu, a variety of meals basically down home, country cooking. You know mac and cheese, shepherds pie, meatloaf. All the stuff you grew up eating. Fancy.. nope, but big portions, delicious and not expensive. Friendly waiters and served fast to get us back on the tour bus. You leave through the gift shop, also amazing with great prices.

Delicious food served efficiently by friendly, helpful staff. Good portions at a fair price. I love this place!

We had the breakfast sandwich with home fries - real potatoes, not frozen. Breakfast was great. Coffee was very good. Excellent service and a great dining experience in this authentic retro diner!

Food was great and everyone working there was wonderful! We over ordered because we couldn't decide. She had "the Sean" which was 2 eggs, bacon, French toast and potatoes. Also ordered 1/2 order biscuits and gravy - sooooo good! He ordered the eggs Benedict with side order of 1 sweet cream pancake. Everything was delicious! We'll come back again.

All the dishes we had were outstanding! The server was attentive as well. It's a retro diner as advertised and I thought it was well done and cozy. I would have taken a few pictures inside but it was a little too intrusive with all the patrons.

They had gluten free bread they used to substitute eggs Benedict. The hollandaise was yum & the eggs cooked perfectly. Also a good serving of hollandaise! The gluten free bread was pretty good. Their gluten free Belgian waffle with ice cream, ugh so good!!! A must try especially if you're Gluten intolerant. Gluten free pancakes also were really good. Sausage links were not best but not worst, bacon not best either. And home fries weren't really how most home fries are, needed more cooking. Coffee was good! Such a cute place BTW. Staff were nice but they were understaffed both times so service a bit slower than other places. So if you're in a hurry, not sure how well it would go. Also they were very aware of gluten allergies. Highly recommend!! It was packed both times FYI.

Pretty good “home cooked” food server here. Quite funny… sign outside says “4th best chili in PY!” Mid century look with Formica counters; yellow and turquoise. Great bar seats up front, although this is a family diner. Also, first time for us - pay using a unique QR code - no cashier needed

Got the Banana Crunch French Toast, food and service was excellent. There was a debate among the locals on what was better The Diner or The Wagner across the street, they’re both great but when I’m back out here the diner is my favorite!

A wonderful bit of old fashioned Americana right smack in the middle of the computer age! It was Sunday morning, we went in, they took my cell number and texted me when we could be served. We waited about 20 minutes. We sat at the end of the counter where all the cooking action takes place. You use your phone camera to snap the QR code and your menu appears on your phone! Pancakes, buckwheats, waffles, French toast, eggs, bacon, sausage, corned beef hash, hot coffee and decaf too! Lunch items, French onion soup. You want it, they got it in a 1925 dining car. It's a meal and a show all at once. Great buckwheat pancakes. If I lived in Penn Yan, I'd eat there every weekend! Great food and lots of nostalgia and just plain FUN!

First time here. Went for Mothers Day breakfast and got the mixed berries and creme french toast. It was delicious. Didn't even use the syrup. Would go back again.

Very fun place on downtown square with really good ice cream. Service was excellent.

this is such a cozy cafe and lunch place. I loved the iced latte. I remember throwing away a latte that we bought in one of the other small town cafes so I was hesitant. But it was the best coffee ı had in long time!!!

Very cute place and I had a nice affogato over my double espresso. The bar area has a nice seating area. The place is busy and seems to be one of the few places in the area that are consistently open.

Really great burger! Friendly service! Ice cream is pricey. PLEASE put a hook in the bathrooms to hang up backpacks. There was no space in the bathroom to put a purse/bag down, etc.

Great service, friendly, good recommendation. I can only speak for the ice cream; it was really good.

Cute little shop for delicious and refreshing ice cream. Location is great since it’s in the square of Hammondsport town. Staff wasn’t sociable or appeared friendly but they did their job well. Service is good. Menu is great. Lots of delicious flavors. Prices are expensive. Cleanliness is on par. Overall it’s a place to try if you want delicious treats.

Ordered a turkey BLT as a crepe with a side of potato casserole at exactly 9:39 a.m. After waiting 30 minutes, I received a stone-cold crepe that seemed to be prepackaged instead of made fresh like typical crepe places. Meanwhile, the “potato casserole” looked suspiciously like a scoop from a crockpot. To top it all off, this masterpiece was served on flimsy paper plates, the kind you find at family potlucks. Not exactly the “artisan cafe” experience I had in mind. And let’s not forget the kitchen ambiance: constant door slams and beeps from what was clearly microwaves. When the forgot our bacon, we watched through the kitchen opening the bacon being reheated in the microwave. The baked items in the case looked good and seemed fresh. There was a constant line for cookies, etc. Final verdict? Left disappointed about my breakfast. Would go back and try the baked goods. Hopefully, they will be a better option.

What a special treat to eat here! Try the lavender lemonade! And the crepes! They have fig/bourbon crepes!

The unique thing about this cafe is its large of savory crepes. I ordered a spinach crepe with eggs, feta cheese, tomatoes, almonds, and basil mayo. The dish was well-presented and tasty. This place also serves patinas, bagels, and a few gluten free options. There's a separate bubble tea menu with about two dozen flavor options. I did not try their coffee.

Wow! Love, love love. The options on the menu were fantastic. It's such a cute place. Great vibe and atmosphere. I think the service could have been better, like a greeting upon entry or at least saying I'll be with you in a second. We ordered the spinach crepe, bacon egg and cheese croissant sandwich, and bagel with cream cheese. They were absolutely delicious. I was amazed at the smell and taste of the crepe. Perfection. I love cute little cafe's like this one. It was also nice that they refer customers to soulful coffee cafe, because we had stopped there for some lattes. It's good to know that local businesses support the others. This place is known for their bubble teas. Although they did have some coffee/tea drinks. The waitress recommended the cheesy potatoes and it was fantastic. Mind blown at all the flavors. It's also very kid friendly. My daughter had a blast and was able to color and enjoyed her food.

Very sweet little café and bakery that offers breakfast and lunch all day. The quiches are a gluten-free hash brown crust which I have to say is absolutely awesome and satisfying. We got the tomato spinach feta and almond quiche. A side of fruit. A cold brew and a hot coffee. Everything was excellent the service was cheerful and efficient. The place was clean and well decorated

An absolute wonderful place! Baked goods that will bring sunshine to the rainiest days ... Excellent staff! Excellent food! And a venue that is warm, inviting and full of charm. If you're looking for a quick-bite or an even larger order for an office luncheon, this is your spot! Shop local. Shop loyal. Shop the Gaffer District. Shop POPPLETON BAKERY, you're sure to tantalize your taste buds.

We were looking for a mid-afternoon gluten free treat and stopped in. We were pleased to discover about a dozen GF items including cakes, cake pops, brownies, fruit breads, cup cakes and bars. We chose a piece of the GF Carrot Cake and it was the best we've ever had; was moist and flavorful and with fresh coconut throughout. The classic cream cheese icing screamed more. And the price was very reasonable. We also had a cup of coffee that was delicious. We won't hesitate to stop here the next time we're in town.

The food was great. My son got the pancakes with lucky charms and he loved them. My wife got the Irish skillet and she raved about it. My daughter got a breakfast sandwich and loved it. I got the classic breakfast and it didn't disappoint! 😁

Have been stopping by this excellent diner whenever we drive through Mt Morris area. Never disappoints - consistent quality, attentive service. Keep going the great job.

Update: You were our waitress yourself not someone else I only know that because I asked for the manager. Also you never asked if I wanted it remade you argued with me when I said it wasn't right. A good owner at least would have discounted our meal. You only do good because you are right in front of a trailer park (nothing against trailer parks I used to live in one) We walked in it looked like a cute little diner! Got seated quickly. But then it went downhill 😔 it took the waitress almost 5 minutes to even come to our table we got our drinks immediately that we asked for thank you. The cranberry juice was watered down and the apple juice was so thick that my husband did not even want to drink it, but choked some down anyway to wash down the nasty food. I ordered eggs benedict traditional style. The eggs were cooked good, but the English muffin with soggy and she does not know what Canadian bacon is you get a thick piece of ham instead. Oh and the hash browns looked really good until you tasted them and they were cold and undercooked. My husband got some type of breakfast goulash and if it wasn't for the sausage gravy being hot the whole thing would have been cold and again the hash browns undercooked. The two pictures are the food that we left and I told her I would send her a picture of what eggs benedict is supposed to look like. When I asked for the manager she said it was her and even with leaving over half our plates she's still charged us full price. Unfortunately now I'm going someplace else to find some food

Discovered this wonderful diner while driving by and noticing the packed parking lot. Turned around and checked it out ourselves. Wow! This was now our third visit and each time, meals have been really good. Home cooked, daily soup (very favourite is the Cheeseburger soup), generous portions and reasonable prices. No wonder the place was hopping. Meatloaf was good, mashed potatoes AWESOME, really enjoy the Best Dam Chicken Sandwich. The breakfasts look great so will try that next time! Desserts also look so delicious - especially their Hershey’s ice cream!

Called this morning to order takeout breakfast. #1 2 eggs, hf, meat, tst. The menu above shows that it is $8. Went into pay and it was $14.04! I left it and did not pay. For that kind of money, I can purchase a dozen eggs, potatoes, meat and tst, cook it at home and eat it for at least 6 meals. Sorry, Brians but I got the same breakfast at a restaurant equivalent to yours for six bucks and some change. Left the Lady at the counter the difference to make it $10 as a tip on a carryout. I told her what happened and she said her parents just visited and they will not be returning due to high pricing. I understand full well the restaurant business as I waited tables for years. The woman who claimed to take my call, came out of the kitchen and said she never told me it was $8. She was very condesending and rude! I asked when I phoned and she said it was that why I ordered it. And now she wants to gaslight me and say she didn't confirm the price? Nice try! I left the bag and left. Even at $8 its a bit steep but I hadn't ate in days so I needed to eat on a very limited budget. I see how often its open and closed. It seems that it closed more often than not. If you want to make money to survive, you've gotta work. It doesnt mean you charge more to make your bills. I wont be returning anytime ever.

The food is fairly typical diner stuff. Although running out of roast beef by 2 on a Sunday was a sign of poor order management. They have some garbage plate menu items that are not seen in my area. The waitress was very sweet!

Tastes like home cooking it was amazing. It was busy and the wait wasn't to bad.

The place was beautiful. We went on a Saturday with a reservation. We had four of the signature dishes. They all were pretty good. If you are looking for American cuisine this is a good place. The waitress who served us was a bit grumpy and we thought may be that because we were Asian. But I think she was not smiling with any of her customers.

This restaurant is inside the hotel. The service was pretty good except the waitress accidentally threw out our order. So though it’s cool she took accountability, it definitely prolonged the stay unfortunately. The food, or at least what I tried, wasn’t anything to RAVE about but everything was good.

We usually have a flawless meal here, but last night, it was lacking a little. The soup was just ok, and the beet salad, which was overdressed in balsamic vinegar, now only has 1 goat cheese medallion 😔 My husband ordered a filet MW, and it was very pink inside, but it was still delicious. The chips with onion dip are simple but fabulous.

Bottomline: Quality, ambiance and reasonably priced. A gem waiting to be discovered. During a recent family outing, we had the pleasure of dining at Erie Grill for breakfast. The experience was nothing short of wonderful. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance set the stage for a delightful meal. The decor is tasteful and inviting, offering a serene atmosphere that's a cut above the typical chain restaurant. The breakfast options were varied and delicious. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared, and the quality was evident in every bite. The service was attentive and friendly, contributing to an overall enjoyable dining experience. One of the standout features of Erie Grill is the stunning view. Overlooking the serene river, the restaurant offers a picturesque setting that's perfect for a relaxing meal. It's a refreshing change from the generic ambiance of chain eateries. Overall, Erie Grill delivers exceptional quality and ambiance at a price comparable to IHOP. We would definitely go back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a superior dining experience without breaking the bank. Staff was pleasant too.

Nice! Here’s an updated version of your review that includes the burger highlight: --- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Perfect experience all around! We had an incredible time here—the food, atmosphere, and service were all outstanding. I had the perfect burger—juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right. Everything we ordered was spot on. Highly recommend!

I love this place as someone who enjoys delicious but simple and not too heavy food. Absolutely amazing service every time I’m here. It is nice and quiet atmosphere and I’m always treated nicely! Please never close!

Wow!! This place is a secret. Tucked behind a hotel is this five star delight. The menu has so many incredible options we had a difficult time deciding. We ended up ordering the specials (lamb wellington and seabass) so we could come back and enjoy the regular menu options. Everything from the appetizers to drinks was perfection. Excellent pairing of flavors. So impressed! If you're a foodie, give this place a chance!

Special this past Saturday, French Toast with cream cheese and fresh berries, and of course whipped cream to top it off, very good, no need for syrup either.

Restaurant nice and clean. Staff great. Food not so good. Ordered eggs over easy, there was no yolk probably because they were small or medium eggs. Pancakes were super dry and heavy and cold. Omly thing good was my sausage. Server took pancakes off my bill. Was just disappointing. Had never had a bad meal prior to today. Won't go back.

Very good breakfast food. I can tell they use high end fresh ingredients. The bacon and toast is thick and delicious. The wait time can be long, for a table and to be served, so don't go if you are in a hurry. My only issue is the cost, it's almost 2x more expensive than a typical breakfast diner.

T's Restaurant is a hidden gem. Nestled somewhere between Ollie's and Dollar Tree in Webster, it looks unspectacular. But once you enter, you get a homey feeling of warm welcome, good mood, a jewel of a host, great, caring staff, and phenomenal breakfast. The booths are a bit old fashioned and so are the carpets and walls, but it seems, that's part of the restaurant's charm, and everything is clean and well taken care of. I was there for a while. At times it could be a bit loud, but we know how people scream at each other unnecessarily... nobody's fault! Reasonable prices, for a good portioned meal! I might not have been here the last time!!

My daughter and I stopped here for lunch after the sunflower festival. The food is absolutely amazing and very reasonably priced! Everybody was so friendly! I would highly recommend and I plan on visiting again.

You can't go wrong with this restaurant! Everything is always good and service is always stellar!!! We did eggs Benedict on this particular day and it was way more food than we could eat!! We could have split an order me and my husband!

Excellent little diner. Good hearty food, great price, relaxed pleasant service. What a way to start the day! It's what diners were when I was growing up in small town life!

First time stopping in for a little snacks snack! I love vegan Mac and cheese and I enjoy trying every vegan restaurant’s “cheese” offerings. This place has excellent shell pasta Mac and cheese it was super creamy and had a nice flavor. The atmosphere was bright and it had ample outdoor seating. I also got a coconut “milk” shake which hit the spot! The baker cabinet looked amazing but ai was already so full from the Mac! Definitely a great spot to check out in Syracuse. Also has a very nice and outgoing staff! I felt welcome right away!

very friendly staff and amazing food! even my dad who isn’t vegan really enjoyed this place. also love the queer friendly atmosphere and free tampons, pads, and water. They also took my nut allergies seriously! highly recommend this place and can’t say enough good things about them :-) (i also love the art done by local artists!)❤️

Visited from out of town and glad we did. Parking can be a challenge. We ordered the reuben, parm wings, barbecue wings, cupcakes, oreo cheesecake, pb shake, onion rings, and chicken bacon ranch sandwich. Everything was amazing. Most places use sugar cane for the bone in the wings, I notice they use wood sticks. I def plan on returning when I return to Buffalo.

As a meat and cheese lover (trying to eat less of both), I’m so glad I tried this place- it’s delicious! I also felt more full after just half my meal, which usually doesn’t happen. Will definitely be back!! I got the sassy chicken sandwich with truffle fries and it was all so good!!!

Needed a quick bite while driving through Syracuse. This restaurant nailed it. Amazing salads that you would not believe are vegan. We go the southwest chicken salad and the Thai tofu salad. We don’t even like tofu and this was delicious.

Amazing vegan restaurant!! They’ve been in the game for a long time and it shows. I love their menu and portion sizes. The milkshakes are a menu highlight- definitely a must try.

I’ve been coming here for years and I’m not even vegan. Every single time the food is absolutely outstanding. Not one time has anything been bad. Everything is so fresh and perfectly cooked. If you’re coming here for the first time def try the garlic parm wings. Nachos are always perfect. I love the BLT and any of the fried chicken sandwiches. The shakes are amazing I love the Malcolm X. Corn chowder is amazing when they have it. Absolutely love the southwest chicken salad and their desserts are heavenly. Seriously vegan or not this restaurant is absolutely consistent.

Visiting the area, wanted good Italian food, this place had good reviews. We were unimpressed.Noel did a nice job, the place is cute, but the food didn’t match. We order the meatball app. 7 out of 10. He got the eggplant pram. sauce was bland 3 out of 10. I got the Haddock cristo fish was done well, but the “cristo” had way too many crackers. Just ordered soft drinks which were over priced.

The cafe is nicely furnished, well-kept, clean, and light-flooded with big windows. I arrived for a late lunch, and got a window table in response to my question. The service, host, and staff were very nice and friendly! I had a breaded chicken sandwich on brioche with house made chips and a spiced pickle. It looked wonderful. And it wasn't bad... it was filling, and that was about it... Everything was ok., but not more. The chicken was cooked to perfection, the breading was good. But the entire sandwich was as bland as it can be. The chips were not bad for home made, a bit too oily though, and a tad too wide, but for a restaurant not classy enough. The restaurant is surprisingly big. Since I took a break from wok I enjoyed the quiet atmosphere... which was over, when later additional customers came in. Why on Earth it's necessary to place everybody at the same spot and increase the noise-level to 'unbearable' if 7/8 of the restaurant is empty remains a mystery to me.

We searched for a place for breakfast and found this great restaurant. The food was plentiful and tasted delicious. The service was very fast and friendly. Don't be fooled by the small looking exterior. There is a lot of seating inside and an enclosed outdoor seating area.

Visiting family. Very clean, very friendly and very attentive staff, prompt service. We ordered French onion soup, special soup of the day, tuna panini, fries, tea and hot cocoa. Food was hot and tasty. Definitely recommend, if you are in the area a must stop and enjoy. You too will be happy you stopped.

Very thankful for this small town feel that this venue has. I love stopping in with family for brunch or to visit Leah for a Thursday night happy hour. Always such a welcoming place that makes both bright days and rainy shine a little brighter. Amazing selection or rotating foods and an enjoyably mix of beverages on tap. So thankful to have this place up the road and recommend it for almost any occasion!!

The food at Mama Lor's is so good!! This was our first time going and we were very pleased with every dish that came out!! We will definitely be back and want to try their breakfast next!

Wonderful meal!! Passing through on our way home, looked at Google reviews and decided to stop. Didn't disappoint. Had the Mini panco fish fry w/Union Spuds, & side salad. Glad I went with the mini, can't imagine what the Monster looks like. My husband had the Lumberjack Breakfast with a side of hash & toast. We're both very satisfied, and the portions were large.

Walked here from our hotel for breakfast during a short overnight stay on our way to Niagara Falls. Classic don't judge a book by its cover place. Our server was awesome. Food was very good. Pretty typical diner food, but on the good side of that range. Very interesting seats!

traditional American style family restaurant, not a modern fancy environment but “traditional, old time” like the place in 70’s movies. 9am already lots of people there. Quickly seated with big welcome smile. Food delivery fast, tasty fresh and yummy. refill coffee every minute. Good place for breakfast .

A true classic diner gem! Stopped in and was blown away by the quality of the food and the cozy, nostalgic atmosphere. The place has that perfect old-school diner vibe — warm, welcoming, and authentic. I had the omelette, which was cooked to perfection, and the pancakes were absolutely amazing — fluffy, buttery, and melt-in-your-mouth good. Definitely coming back. Highly recommend if you’re in the area and craving a great breakfast or brunch spot!

Very generous portion sizes. The chicken wrap was very good, and the breakfast food is what you’d expect from your local diner. Overall, very solid.

It’s always great to eat in an independent restaurant, not a chain place, and even better if it’s a diner. Extra points for being a really old diner. The vegetable omelette was tasty, and waitress was friendly and accommodating. Just one minor complaint: mushrooms should always be fresh, and never canned.

A Classic Diner Experience with a Twist On our drive home from the Finger Lakes Region, my wife and I stopped at the State Diner in Ithaca for a late breakfast/early lunch on a Sunday — and we’re glad we did. The interior is exactly what you’d expect from a classic American diner: lots of cozy booths, shiny metal accents, and mirrors that give it a nostalgic feel. Everything looked clean and well cared for. We were seated in a corner booth with fold-down seats — something neither of us had seen before. It was a fun, quirky touch that added to the experience, though it may not be the best option for those with mobility issues or anyone who might find it tricky to get in and out of tighter spaces. As for the food, it was exactly what we hoped for: simple, satisfying diner fare. My wife had a cheese omelet, and I went with the Western. Both were well-prepared and hit the spot. The coffee was solid too — always a must at a diner. Bonus points for clean and well-maintained restrooms, which is always appreciated when you’re on the road. All in all, if you’re in Ithaca and craving a classic diner meal, the State Diner is definitely worth a stop. We’d happily return.

This is a classic diner with all that one should expect: a variety of food including classics, and decent coffee. Got in and out before the parking meter expired.

Denny’s has delicious food but I usually hesitate due to bad service. This location had excellent service. The server was attentive, responsive, speedy and refilled drinks before they finished. They have turkey to sub pork which is a plus. The only con was the coffee…. Unfortunately tasted burnt

My experience at Denny’s this past week has been probably one of the most enjoying engaging experience. I’ve had in a restaurant in a long time. I haven’t been in the Denny’s restaurant in over 20 years. It’s because of Tiffany my waitress I’ve had the same waitress the past three days I’ve come to eat.. She smiles she’s engaging. She’s funny she’s knowledgeable. She’s efficient and she has a beautiful spirit. She keeps me coming back. Customer service is all about food will speak for itself. Quality really hasn’t dropped. It could be tweaked in a few places, but that’s expected pleased, but it’s really Tiffany who makes the experience for me with the rest of the team, but she used the crown jewel. Thank you for allowing me to dine in here. Sincerely, Christopher Foster.

Denny's is Denny's, you know what you're going to get. Waitress was nice and attentive. Could have done without hearing all about the sexual adventures of the kitchen staff while I was eating in the dining room. I guess I received dinner and a show

Our server, Theresa W., was an extremely friendly and attentive individual who provided excellent service throughout our dining experience. She consistently checked on us to ensure that all our needs were met. I believe that Theresa's exceptional service is worthy of recognition by the management. Regarding the food, it was satisfactory overall. There was a slight mix-up with our order during our first visit, but we decided to proceed with the meal as it was. On our second visit, our orders were fulfilled accurately. In summary, I would gladly revisit the establishment if I am in the area again, primarily due to the exceptional hospitality provided by Theresa.

I recently visited Denny’s in East Syracuse and had a great experience. The staff was friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in. My server was attentive, making sure my coffee was always topped up and that everything was to my liking. The menu had plenty of classic diner options, and my meal was served hot and fresh. The eggs were cooked the way I liked it🍳 , and the bacon 🥓 was perfectly crispy . The atmosphere was comfortable, making it a great spot for a relaxed meal. I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in the area!

Great pancake! Way better than ihop. Their portions are a bit small then most diner’s I’ve been to. My onion rings were burnt and my medium-rare t-bone steak came out as close to well-done. Overall, great customer service so I gave them 4 star.

Ty so much to Sara , she always does an amazing job, always smiling & friendly. Takes good care of us every time. 😊 She deserves a good 👍 raise. Food was absolutely DELICIOUS!!! Plates came out fantastic Thanks again

Delicious food, wonderful service, fun, family atmosphere!

Unbelievable. Had a gyro but heard others talk about the turkey plates. Clean restaurant, happy people, great food.

Whenever guests come to visit I love taking them to Riki's. The owner is present and active and clearly has a lot of pride in the business. I've never been there when it's slow, the place is always popping with locals. Great service and fantastic food, if you're only coming into Fairport for the weekend, put this destination at the top of your list.

This is a local favorite, often quite busy for breakfast. But typically not a really long wait. The staff is super nice and knows what they're doing. Overall, I don't think I've ever had to wait and wonder when I was going to get served. Which in my book is a sign of a well oil machine. Our food came out fairly fast and everything tasted delicious. I will be back.

Super clean restaurant with very friendly efficient staff. The French fries 🍟 were amazing! Several people were commenting on them when I arrived so I had to try them. The bacon cheeseburger soup was recommended by the waitres and it was a great recommendation.

Went in on Sunday morning at 1100am and was promptly seated. Menu isn't extensive more diner-centric than eclectic. Decisions were made, the farmers omelet and chicken and waffles were decided on. The chicken and waffles was a nice sized slab of country fried steak sandwiched betwixt 2 perfectly crispy and yet fluffy waffles. I opted to not get the sausage gravy in order to partake of syrup. The farmers omelet had ham, sausage, onions, peppers, tomatoes and cheese. Home fries had a delicious sear to them and were hot. Coffee was fantastic and our server was attentive without being intrusive. We will go back for more! Great place in downtown Fairport.

Very fast and friendly service. I would definitely come back for breakfast.If I am visiting the Fairport/ Rochester area

It's one of the chain restaurants where we would choose to go whenever we're not in NYC. Reliable. Good service. Nostalgic. Food is good & you choose what you have from their menu. You can always ask if there's something else you want.

Cracker Barrel: where nostalgia meets corporate America in a delightful collision of plaid and knickknacks! Every time I walk in, I’m hit with a wave of “old-timey” vibes, or maybe it’s just the smell of fried food mingling with the scent of a million identical wall hangings. Seriously, it’s like dining inside a theme park designed by someone who’s only ever seen “vintage” in a catalog! I've around a dozen Cracker Barrel’s in different states, and I still can’t decide if I’m there for the food or the whimsical decor that screams, “We promise this is what your grandma’s house looked like!” But let’s be honest, I’ve never strayed from breakfast. And in the great breakfast showdown, Cracker Barrel takes the crown over hotel food and Denny’s any day. Plus, their service is always top-notch, and who can resist that warm syrup? It’s like a hug from a pancake! So, while I can't quite figure out why I keep coming back, I guess I’m just a sucker for eating breakfast in a corporate time capsule!

First time at this location passing through traveling with my husband. Our waitress was so friendly and nice. The food came out and quick and delicious. We tried the iced lattes for the first time, it was made just right.

We were in town for a couple of nights and had brunch 2 days in a row. Yesterday's was fine. Could have been better, could have been worse. When we went back this morning we knew exactly what we enjoyed and started ordering a la carte (4 scrambled eggs, side of ham, side of hashbrowns...) Our Sweet server, Morgan wrote down everything that we wanted but, what she came back with was perfect. She definitely saw our vision. And she had magically made it into a meal! Everything about this brunch was perfect! And we ended up with leftovers. We aren't sure what the stars mean on the server's aprons or why Morgan only has 3. She was definitely 5 star in our eyes!

Customer service was beyond great! All the food was wonderful, and the waitress I had was super kind. I ate pancakes with eggs, and bacon. The one egg tasted sweet, but other than that it was delicious 😋

A fun place to eat. The food is solid and tasty. The wait staff was fun and personable. The items in the store are fun and being back memories.

I went with my family to Cracker Barrel Old Country Store this past Saturday for breakfast, and honestly, it was one of the worst dining experiences we’ve had in a long time. The food was terrible—cheap quality, bland, and nowhere near what Cracker Barrel used to be known for. To make things worse, they’ve changed the menu, and it’s now confusing and misleading with the pricing. For a simple breakfast for three people, without ordering anything special, the bill came to $71. Absolutely outrageous for the level of food and service we received. Nothing tasted fresh, and the value is completely gone. Cracker Barrel used to be a reliable spot for a hearty, reasonably priced breakfast, but those days are clearly over. We left feeling disappointed and ripped off. Sadly, we won’t be coming back.

We went the day before my open heart surgery. The amount of food you get for little price is amazing! Everything was delicious. We wish there was one closer to us. So we can go again! Highly recommend 👌 Great amazing food, everyone friendly.

Such a nice place! We went on a Tuesday for lunch with our daughter, and it wasn’t very crowded. The waitress was very kind and attentive, taking great care of the customers. We ordered the Cajun pasta (which came with a salad), hot chocolate, and the chicken bacon melt sandwich. They also have a separate kids’ menu. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back.

This is a very nicely kept restaurant. The decorations fit the restaurant. When you walk in you need to wait to be seated but looking around everyone has their own job and the restaurant is run smoothly. When we were sat down at our table the waitress came right over to greet us. She was very nice and welcoming. She took our drink order which came out right away and then took our food order. The food came out in about 10 minutes hot and fresh! Very delicious! She filled our coffee and checked on us twice. The experience did not feel rushed even though it was a busy Saturday morning and there was constantly a line at the door. I highly recommend coming to this restaurant if you haven't before!

Stopped for a lunch and had great service and their version of the famous Rochester garbage plate. Food, service and atmosphere were all great. We will come back.

My family came for a fish fry on Friday. We ended up sick? You could taste on the fish and french fries that the deep fryer oil has not been changed for some time. We left are food on the table paid are bill and left. We ended up sick all night.

It has been several years since we have been to Peppermints for breakfast. We were seated right away and the restaurant was about 25% full. The server waited on us shortly after being seated. We ordered corned beef hash with scrambled eggs and also 2 eggs over easy with sausage and toast. The corned beef hash was not crispy neither were the home fries. Both seemed to just heated up. The over easy eggs were done correctly, but when our orders were brought out we both only had 1 jelly for 2 slices of toast. You can't put jelly on the table? Also you also dictated what flavors I can have. The server only came around one time with coffee and the was shortly after our order was brought to the table. I guess it will be awhile again before we come back here.

1st time going here for breakfast and really happy we did. Food was great! Good selection, service was wonderful and we will definitely be going back. Well priced and worth it. All day breakfast too 😉

First - cash only, bank with inside ATM practically across street. Second but should be first- Delicious!!!! It is a must visit! My Biscuits and sausage gravy and home fries with onion = Delicious. If you’re a sandwich person, the MacMother is the best sausage egg cheese on bun I’ve ever tasted. Prices are reasonable, total was $20.75 not including tip. I was greeted upon entry and politely helped. Seating is very very limited inside. We ate outside because we had the dog but there are trees at edge of parking lot for some shade. I felt safe here and will definitely come back next time in town. Spouse has been coming here for 20 years and it’s always been good and delicious.

Very Chill Atmosphere! Everyone is welcoming and the waiters are friendly. They'll make small talk and share a compliment. You don't feel like an outsider here. Feels like family!

Absolutely amazing! This best breakfast spot I’ve been to! Great service and what seems like a staple of the community! Classic diner vibe with portions the size of your head!

This lil hole in the wall diner served me the best breakfast I’ve ever had. I saw a whole frittata and asked which size it was. I thought half that size would be good. Boy was I wrong! Half a frittata was still 3 pounds! I should’ve ordered a 1/4. And wow is it affordable! 3 pound frittata was $15! It was soooo good! I’ll be planning trips to NY just to come back here. It’s one man cooking everything behind the counter and he’s a master! We watched him in amazement as we waited for our food. The place is very tiny and a little cramped but they make it work. It adds to the charm. The staff didn’t miss a beat. It was like they were dancing as they ducked under eachother and twirled around people to avoid knocking them down. These people are experts at their trade. Tip well and bring cash!

We ordered food to go we got it in15 minutes. The food was delicious. The prices were phenomenal, the service was wonderful. I would highly recommend this place. 👌

If you want a greasy diner with amazing food & service…..this is it. The BEST breakfast I ever had! I had the Western Omlette. It was like the peppers were roasted! Delicious! Staff so friendly & bustling. I cannot wait to come back to Syracuse so I can eat here again!

This place is magnificent. We enjoyed a wonderful breakfast here on August 22; great coffee, home fries, omelettes. Friendly service and extremely skilled cooks. My friend and I cannot think of anything negative to say; as soon as we're near Syracuse again we will be back for more.

Steve's is a hit or miss for me. The thing they are known for: pancakes, are always amazing. And our kids love going there for them. The rest of their breakfast (Only ever done breakfast here) is a mixed bag. More positive than negative. Let me start with the inside is cozy and nice. And the staff is amazingly friendly. They make sure you're taken care of and feel welcomed. I'm not big into sweet for breakfast, so I always go for eggs and typical fare. This last visit I tried the Full English Frittata. It was under seasoned, and nothing stood out. The previous time was corned beef hash. It was decent, but a bit dry. My wife had the pear & Gouda omelette. She said it was dry and lacking flavor as well. As I said, this was just one visit. Usually things are decent enough. We mainly go when the kids want a ridiculous sized pancake. Our daughter got the M&M pancake and lived it. Our son was thrilled with his peanut butter cup pancake as well. Overall, the breakfast is good. Much better than Billy's Homestead; but I highly dislike that place and have never enjoyed a meal at Billy's. I do like Steve's, it is good enough. Just sometimes it is less than stellar.

Very busy, food took awhile to come out but it was delicious and worth the wait. If you have never been to Steve’s the Love Cakes/Pancakes are huge, size of a large plate. The NY Cheesecake one is rolled up with fresh fruit, very good.

Great: -Canolli pancakes! And yes, they are delicious! -Good-sized menu with plenty of options, even for my gluten-free wife -Above average selections/options in condiments and extras like jellies, jams, coffee creamer, etc. Average: -The interior is average breakfast diner. Not bad at all, but nothing that stands out. -It can get quite crowded at times you would expect, like Sunday morning. But they do a good job of moving things along. Wait times were very tolerable. -Service. I thought of adding this to the great section, because anymore even average service seems great. Wait staff was friendly and orders came out quickly and correctly. As I mentioned, sometimes you had to wait a bit but you could tell staff was hustling along. No one was being lazy here. - Some of the prices seemed a little high but were actually good considering the portion sizes. The canolli pancakes are an example but they were enough for 2.5 meals, so maybe not pricey in the end. We will definitely come back whenever we are visiting our kid at RIT.

I've been coming here at least once a month for the past 2 years, it is one of my two favorite restaurants. Great service and great food. I always get the Greek Salad or the Country Breakfast. Portions are great. The gravy is homemade. You can't beat it. A+++

Check this place out for some outrageously large, ridiculous, and delicious pancakes! I got the Cannoli and could only eat about half. It was really pretty amazing.

This was our first visit to a diner since arriving in Rochester a few weeks ago. I definitely got to scratch an itch I was having for a diner visit. The food was really good--I loved that the green peppers in my Benedict were not cooked to mush and still had some crunch 👌🏽 the atmosphere was cozy, the restroom was clean, and the music was at an acceptable volume. Everyone was super friendly and helpful, especially Gabbie. She was so sweet and patient with my indecisiveness 😂 We'll be back to try some pancakes!

I have visited Steve's on numerous occasions over the years and the breakfast options have always been excellent. However, every time I've ordered a lunch or dinner item, there has been some issue with it. Most recently, I ordered a patty melt cooked medium-well, but what I received was closer to rare or medium-rare. Given this recurring issue, I am unlikely to order anything other than a breakfast item in the future, if I choose to return at all.

I wish I had had my phone to take pictures! Donna's was wonderful! Anytime you walk into a restaurant and the locals immediately include you in their general conversation, you know you've got a winner! Two very good breakfasts (eggs with amazing rye toast, and one of us had sausage patties, as well) and coffee with free refills, pleasantly and quickly served, for about $15...Total! They don't take cards, but there's an ATM at another restaurant, so no worries! Donna's is definitely worth it!

Not sure what happened when I went. I saw all the great reviews. I ordered eggs with bacon and home fries. Bacon was tissue paper thin (looked like the precooked microwave type). Home fries were white looking like they were afraid of the grill or seasonings. The color you see is hot sauce and pepper I added. My wife got the steak bagel sandwich, bagel was cold and if you look hard enough you can spot some pieces of the meat.

This was a really fun place to get breakfast! Loved all the old Pyrex. People were friendly, food was good, and the price was amazing!

Before going to the restaurant, we ensured we had money because we saw on the website that they only accepted cash. So please if you are going to have breakfast here make sure to bring cash or you can get cash at the ATM in the pizzeria next door to the restaurant. My family and I had a great experience. The ambience was very homey. I felt like I stepped into my grandma's house for breakfast. The waitress was very friendly and kind. The breakfast was at a very reasonable price and delicious. If you're in town I would recommend this place. It is welcoming and family-friendly.

Very good food at an affordable price. The omelette set and the coffee cinnamon cake were delicious and the service was excellent. Everyone was very friendly and it’s a nice place to grab breakfast. Side note, there’s an awesome display of the owner’s Pyrex collection which was cool to look at! (Cash Only)

I went there very early and enjoyed my breakfast. People were very friendly. The homemade corned beef was a little different than I expected but it was good. Very nice old-timey atmosphere.

What a great experience. The service was amazing. I had the French toast and it was every bit as good as they say it. I was watching other orders as they came out trying to figure out what to try next time.

This is a pretty cool place on the inside. They have a diner counter area that most places don’t have though no one was seated there when we were there. We took the family here for lunch. The girls got burger plates, my wife got the cheeseburger club and I got the fish fry. The plates were good. The burgers you can tell are hand pressed and the home fries were well cooked. Not crispy but not under done like some places do. The macaroni salad was very good and my daughter ate hers and took half of my eldest daughters. It wasn’t just all mayo and noodles and it appears to have a tough of mustard in it. My wife liked the cheeseburger club the hand made patties were a good size and not overly greasy. My wife commented that she likes clubs after eating this sandwich so that says something. The fish fry was average. Nothing special but still good. I had it battered and it was a light crisp. The fries were crinkle cut. I don’t like coleslaw and I was able to substitute cottage cheese for that which I do like. This place was fairly busy when we were here but there was some open tables. It did take a long time to get food but we weren’t in any hurry. The staff was very nice. It’s a nice place to go and enjoy a meal. Just remember cash only…

We got the Friday fish dinner, burger, and shake. The fish dinner was decent but was more expensive and smaller than other Rochester fish fry's. The milkshake had a nice malt flavor. Service was great. It is a nice unfancy place to eat, with a great canalside location. Heads up, its cash only.

Good food and quick service. But bring your cash or a check, as they don't take cards. We had a variety of items off the lunch menu and everyone in our party was satisfied. I'll be getting those delicious fried green beans again. Who knew fries green beans could create such a tasty snack.

Really good breakfast, like having breakfast on the grill if that was a thing. Service was great, delicious food. Cash only but they do have an ATM. Really nice quaint area too.

Good restaurant for breakfast. The food was really good. The waitress helped out a lot. It is in a great location because when you are done eating you can go outside and look at the water or even look at some geese and ducks (that’s what I did ). Would definitely recommend. Also strange smell in the restaurant smelled really weird but it was probably something just that morning.

The food was delicious. We had two toddlers with us and they were great with them. It is expensive but I'd pay it again for a good meal like that.

Food was wonderful, but the member of the wait staff didn't seem completely locked in. Forgot about us or something once or twice. But the location is great.

This was worth the hour drive. The only issue, there were to many great things to try them all. The French toast was amazing with many different flavors. The maple bacon was so flavorful. The build your own breakfast sandwich was delicious and gave you many different options. Also, the cinnamon roll is a must. So delicious! They also have lots of fresh breads and samples. Many coffee options!

Stopped in for lunch with the family. I've been to the Victor location, but this is the first time I've been to the Pittsford location. Food is great, place is bustling, and has a very community forward feel. If you are really hungry, I suggest a sandwich and a side, as one sandwich might not fully satiate. But from all of the sandwiches I've had- they are all really good and tasty.

Wow! Nothing but great things to say about this bakery and coffee shop! Beautifully designed shop interior, lovely friendly staff, delicious coffee, great breakfast and lunch sandwiches and salads from the menu or design your own. Indoor and outdoor seating. Reasonably priced and extremely fresh food and freshly made bakery items, cookies, rolls, croissants! Don’t pass this place by!

I’ve been to Village Bakery multiple times and always walk away impressed. The service is consistently great, and the space has that perfect clean-but-cozy, modern vibe. Whether you’re into sweet novelty drinks or more classic espresso options, they’ve got something for everyone—including third-wave snobs like me 😉. The oat milk latte is my go-to—easily one of my favorite coffee spots in Rochester.

This is my favorite cafe! My favorites are the BYO egg sandwich, basil chicken salad sandwich, tomato soup, croissants and french toast latte. It’s also really close to the canal, so I sometimes bike here on the weekend for a French toast latte and croissant.

The last time I was there on a Wednesday, which I always ride my bike from Scottsville to Pittsford bakery I was kind of disappointed when you had two people behind the counter wasn’t busy at all. One was messing with the coffee beans, and the other one was messing with the water. They both seen me. Nobody wanted to take care of me so I left came back the next day, but I didn’t go in the day after that day I did go in and I got served, but it was two different people. I always get the avocado toast and a large lemonade 😔

Get the Betsy. It’s so delicious! We really love it here. It’s our go-to spot for breakfast. Really good coffee and food! Kid friendly options and high chairs are available. There’s plenty of seating inside and out, and maybe 10 parking spots. I’ve never had an issue finding parking, but we go early so that might be why. There’s a lot of public parking next door behind the library if you can’t find anything.

The photos made this place look like they had great options. This is more for sandwiches and soups. I wouldn’t run here specifically for their bakery items. We went out of our way to come to a bakery and this is just another poor example of a place called a bakery but focusing on too many other things to take their baking seriously. The cakes looked alright, I came for the linzer cookie. It was overcooked and overly sweet. Sure, I’m spoiled being from an area where you’d find Italian bakeries, Hungarian bakeries, Polish bakeries, Austrian and more. This is a sandwich shop with soups, pantry items, and as an aside they have some desserts and bread. Perhaps their bread is the bigger focus. Don’t bother with the sweets at all.

Ithaca Bakery (Triphammer Rd) is my go-to spot on this side of Ithaca. It’s really the only solid sit-down coffee shop around here. They’ve got a great selection of sandwiches, cakes, and even fun merchandise. My favorite order is the steak & eggs paired with a mochaccino. The internet is reliable, and there’s plenty of space to sit and work or relax. I also love that one side of the shop features rotating displays of photography and artwork — always inspiring as a photographer myself. Service is quick, friendly, and you can even order ahead for pickup if you’re in a rush. A gem for both food and atmosphere.

Loved the vibe of the place, stopped by for some sandwiches for the family. Ended up with a mistake. When I returned they promptly fixed the mistake and took care of us. We actually got a few butter cookies thrown in.

We stopped here to get some breakfast sandwiches. It was a cool place and they had lots of goodies to offer, but when it came to ordering a breakfast a young man just couldn't seem to get or understand what we were asking for. It was a very basic sandwich we were just asking for the croissant that are egg and sausage was on to be toasted buttered and then put hot sauce on our sandwich, well that didn't really happen, what happened was we got our sandwiches and yes there was butter on the croissant but we got no hot sauce or ketchup and when we went to the bag we realized that we had an extra croissant each one had ketchup and one had hot sauce on it and toasted. It was bizarre but I will say it was a good sandwich I think he just didn't understand

I come here often because there is a lot that I can do here. I can always find a space to eat brunch with a friend. I can always get a table to do some work. The food is decent, but it is consistently decent. It's not going to be the best bagel you've ever had, but it will never ne a bad bagel. The atmosphere is always pleasant, and the staff are always nice.

Excellent selection of food, great service, fantastic pastry, bagels are exceptional. Highly recommend! My only issue was with an espresso I ordered. It was watery, no crema, and not at all an espresso! I could have brewed a “coffee” of similar quality with my Keurig at home. It was NOT an espresso!

A typical sandwich and breakfast place with a bakery component built into it. Known for their bagels for many years as well as great hearty sandwiches with think sliced fresh breads and stuffed with plentiful amounts of ingredients and especially delightful was the turkey sandwich. So here is the issue thigh I rate this a 4 star and not a five is based on the value proposition. Where once they provided good quality food, good portions and pricing that was not only very competitive, but also made you feel that the owners do not have their hands in your pocket/wallet. Turn to present day, this combination is no longer except for good quality product and decent - not good, decent portions that really don’t wow you and are therefor no longer creating a real point of differentiation except for the fact of bakery freshness. And this is where they likely justify beyond reasonable pricing. Companies need to make money and pay staff well. Price by and costs have increased - but this is beyond. Example. Super small homemade cookie $1.25, turkey sandwichs over $10 plus tax - yes creative and maybe appearing gourmet - but not justifying the price at all. So, the value is if you don’t care about the price and/or portion and seek a local hangout to eat and be merry with good quality product and a clean but average environment - go to this place and you’ll be happy. There are some products in the pastry area that are decently priced but on the whole most are beyond overpriced and being intimately familiar with the foodservice industry for more that three decades am quite familiar with what I am seeing. No knock to ownership it’s their prerogative to charge what they want and yield the margins they do according to their business plan such as higher profit, more money or the same with less customer as an example - power to them and who am I to tell these people who appear to be running a successful business for some time, what to do - right?? Of course. For me it’s about informing you the customer of what you need to know before you decide to spend your cash so you know what you’re going to receive and if this works then all is good. Enjoy and again, happy eating.

Great service and amazing atmosphere! Finally Ours is a wonderful little diner with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. Your cup will never go empty with this kind of service. The food was good and reasonably priced. I would recommend their pancakes and garbage plate. If you're looking for a friendly, comfortable place for breakfast or lunch, this is a great choice. I’d definitely come back!

I've been wanting to stop in here and try the food. A little out of my way to work but when I got out of bed I was craving some breakfast food. Having been told recently how good this place was I had to stop by and try it for myself. After looking at the menu I decided to try the homemade hash with an order of eggs and side of Bacon. The portion size was unreal the hash was amazing. I ate what I could of it and was forced to box up the rest. With large parking there's plenty of room to pack people in. Walking inside the decor is clean and fresh with plenty of seats to accommodate a large number of guests. The price was fair considering you get what you pay for. Large portions. Good food. Good service. I'm looking forward to coming back and exploring more of the menu.

WOW. What a gem of a place. The menus on the TV screen don't tell half the story. We came per recommendation of a friend and I ordered a stuffed French toast (savory with sausage and cheese). Friend ordered frittata with sausage and my dad ordered some Mano Loco egg dish with hash browns. The coffee refills were free and much needed. We left so stuffed. We all agreed the service was top notch. The staff was very attentive and actively looking to see if anyone needed more coffee or water. We arrived at 9am and were seated in the overflow room which was empty. By 10am the entire place was full, so go early! FIVE STARS 🤩

Delicious food, huge portions, comfortable and welcoming atmosphere and incredibly fast, and attentive staff. The owner is lovely and takes great pride in her restaurant. It shows. She works right beside her staff!!! I will be back. Lovely place.

Saw all the positive reviews for this diner, and it's well earned. The Cinnamon Swirl French Toast is amazing.

I went there today to have breakfast with a friend of mine. The service was really fast, we got seated as so as we got through the doors. The food was even really good and was delivered to our table even faster. We both ordered 2 eggs over easy with toast and bacon. It was perfect. The server was very attentive and polite. I used their bathroom and the bathrooms were absolutely spotless. You don't find bathrooms very clean anymore. Nowadays, nobody wants to clean them. I rate this restaurant 5 star. All the way across the board, I recommend it for anyone with a large family to call ahead. Service with a smile is what really stood out.

There’s nothing like a Saturday brunch with your friends and this place was the perfect fit for us! There was plenty of people waiting to be seated when we arrived, but they sat us in less than 10 minutes, which shows how much they care to offer great service. Menu has plenty of options and food was great!

Didn’t even know this place existed. Definitely worth a visit if you’re anywhere nearby!

As staple of Victor/Farmington residents I always stop here when I’m in town. The breakfast is always delicious, the coffee hot and filled to the brim. They have a great lunch and dinner item menu as well. Just a great neighborhood spot where you’re likely to run into an old friend and have a great meal. Definitely check it out.

The food was delicious. We ordered breakfast and it came out very quick and hot. There are many options for breakfast and the portion sizes are worth the money. The staff are very nice, attentive and pleasant. The parking lot is a little odd with diagonal parking, but it is easy to figure out. I would definitely come here again

My husband and I stopped by on our way through and had a delicious breakfast. As soon as we sat down we were handed menus, asked if we wanted drinks and had our coffee in our hands within two minutes! Very efficient use of wait staff and bussers to keep everything clean and patrons comfortable and satisfied. I had the French toast with bacon and my husband had peanut butter chip pancakes. The food was tasty and hot. Also nice to get refills on coffee without having to ask. Great stop, we highly recommend!

Great little diner! Breakfast was plentiful and tasty! Can't wait to go back, if only for the Italian toast!!!

This place has the best breakfast!!! The service is great and the food comes out fast, hot and with generous portions. I don't live in Upstate NY anymore but everytime I come home I make sure to go to Park Place as much as I can. The biscuits and gravy are my absolute fave!!!

Food and service were decent. Atmosphere was the problem: I had to sit there and listen to a group at an adjacent table talk about how liberals were ruining the country, how they're a terrorist group, etc. It made enjoying my breakfast impossible.

Brunch stuff was good. I liked all the flights of food you can get. We got the Soup Flight and the Pancake Flight and the Eggs Benedict Flight, so we could try all the food. The vibe is very welcoming atmosphere for all peoples. The booths were not comfortable, But overall the place was very good.

Great breakfast. Many options for sweet treats. Good options available for vegetarian diet, and their tea is good. I recommend this place for a special breakfast occasion here in Rochester. Definitely not your typical diner food! It’s great quality and servers seem happy to be there.

Three of us went. We had the Pesto Chicken sandwich, the tuna melt, and the Eggs Benedict. Pesto Chicken had too much pesto, and the chicken was dry. The tuna melt was loved. The Eggs Benedict were perfectly cooked, and the potatoes were okay (could have been crispier), but cooked well. Mimosa flights were good as well. Service is spectacular and everyone was very friendly.

Amazing food! Delectable interesting dishes with a wide variety of teas and coffee drinks. Loved the vibe!

I always meet my friends here for Holiday brunch and I wanted some really good tea and pancakes so I ended up at The Mad Hatter. My fav place to go. Service is always kind and friendly. Music was playing. Very relaxing. Love the choices.

the place feels very homey. the menu is interesting as i've never tried most of the dishes they had on there. I got a dish that came with eggs, bacon, pancakes, french toast, and potatoes. it had really delicious gravy on the side. the server was great as well. will be coming back

Burrito was AMPLE. And delicious. Coffee was rich. Also got hatters potatoes. Omg fantastic! Decor is amazing and perfectly on theme

Do not get the fish 😒 was just looking for a quick bite while in the area hiking. Saw tons of people in the morning there so decided to stop in for late lunch. Not what we expected on the inside. Bar area was the only spot open to eat, the regular dining area was closed off. The bar area has a dark dirty atmosphere, very different from the rest of the restaurant. The fish and chips was disgusting, burnt geasy hockey pucks with very little fish and a ton of greasy breaded coating. Cousin loved the macaroni salad tho. Ladies were nice, just not attentive to customers. I wouldn't be back

Falls Restaurant is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warm hospitality and a cozy atmosphere. The menu offers a fantastic variety, and every dish we tried was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Service was prompt and attentive without ever feeling rushed, which made the whole experience even better. The attention to detail, from presentation to taste, truly sets this place apart. Whether you’re stopping in for a casual meal or a special occasion, Falls Restaurant delivers every time. Highly recommend!

Nice diner type restaurant. Homemade bread looked very good on the sandwiches. My mother-in-law ordered the carrot cake which she liked. I did not see nor were we offered kids menus. The waitress did bring a coloring book and crayons for the kids to color in which was nice but not everyone would appreciate that it was already colored on most pages. But the restaurant was cozy and clean, wait staff was friendly and food was good enough.

We stopped here for breakfast before hiking to the falls. Great food, but the best was our waitress, Denise. Wonderful sense of humor and she gave us some info about the falls.

Good basic American cuisine! Went here for lunch and I definitely recommend the fried mushrooms, the cheesesteak, the fish sandwich and strawberry rhubarb! The service was good. The prices were affordable. Check this place out!!

Always great food and good service. The specials are always great, so check the board on the way to the table.

Always good, homemade food. Reasonably priced. Friendly service. Just watch out for the lunch rush, it gets very packed.

We had a very good experience here. It was a Sunday morning, and it was packed. We got in and out in less than an hour. All the waitresses were nice and friendly and helped us with any questions we had. Food came quickly as well. The only issue I had was i couldn't tell if my pancakes were done all the way as they felt cakey in the middle, but I imagine the blueberrys had something to do with it. The homefries had no seasoning as well. The bananas were super fresh. Overall, we would come again.

Smelled funny in there, service wasn’t the worst; but it’s a Tuesday lunch at 10 in the morning and it’s dead, didnt pre bud as much as they could’ve. To top it off we found a spider in our butter!!! Told service they went omg and took it, showed the other servers they yelled oh no, was gone for a little so we were thinking they were showing a manager and getting a discount for the inconvenience. Nope, came back, no apologies no manager just our bill, We paid in full, left 15% tip and was extremely disappointed . Food was mediocre, paid a lot for nothing, 3 upcharge for onion rings to only get 6? Do better.

Great, affordable breakfast. We experienced a minor problem which our waitress quickly rectified. The staff at this location went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied. I would highly recommend this place of business.

I’ve been to a few Bob Evans. This one isn’t as nice. I had a burger for the first time. It wasn’t particularly good. Neither was the cheesecake for dessert. Just like with many restaurants these days, quality and portions are going down.

Enjoyed a pleasant dining experience at Bob Evans. The food was good, prices fair, and the waitress provided warm hospitality. While the coffee was average, the family-friendly atmosphere made for a comfortable stop while on a family road trip.

Our Waitress Vicki was just the best, worked her section and our table of 7 like a pro!! Good food great service and made extra special being seated in her section as a ‘blast from the past’. We have known each other since middle school and great to see an old friend again!!

Ordered dinner for my coworkers and myself. The farmhouse chicken sandwich was suppose to have no onions or pickles. They did not have onions or pickles on it, but they also did not put the tomato, provolone cheese or bacon on it. They did put a piece of blackish lettuce on it though. I was not impressed by it. I also ordered coleslaw with the chicken sandwich. I had pieces of shredded cheese and 3 pieces of corn in it. Glad I'm not allergic to those items. Ordered a kids meal that was suppose to have fries.- No fries. Rest of order (3 meals) were correct. I'll stick with dine-in breakfast from now on.

A kitschy little diner with solid food and service. My boyfriend and I stopped there for breakfast and the service was quick and the food was great. The staff were super quick with coffee refills and were refreshingly not overly friendly or peppy. I had a Western omelette and he had a cheesesteak breakfast sandwich. Both were appropriate size and cooked well.

Amazing. In town, looking for breakfast. This popped up, took a chance..what can I say it was amazing. Busy, and as a Englishman in New York surprised as to how busy. Got a seat at the counter ( bucket list ) and was served by friendly and attentive staff. The accent caused a bit of a stir and spent most of the time chatting to an ex Veteran. Oh and the food was amazing.

When my dad was younger, his dad owned part of this diner, so I always heard stories about them eating there. We were seating fairly quickly upon arriving and given adequate time to order. It felt like a true classic diner, with families all around and workers who had formed relationships with the usual customers. The place was very busy, so it did take a while for us to order, but our waitress did come by to apologize for the wait and let us know it would be out soon. We both ordered 2 eggs, rye toast, and home fries. My boyfriend got bacon as well on the side. I ordered my eggs overeasy, testing if they would come as true overeasy eggs or slightly uncooked, because I have unfortunately had that experience at other diners. My eggs came out PERFECTLY, I was so excited. Everything tasted perfect and it was a great breakfast to have before our drive home. I understand why my family spent so much time here and im proud to have a connection to it.

Was a cute place. Nothing really made it stand out from other "diners." Was nice and clean - that was good. Two dishes ordered were simple eggs, meat, pancakes with water. They were good. My husband wasn't thrilled about his. Said the chicken fried steak was the smallest he'd seen, and definitely a frozen item. He wasn't happy about a $4.50 soda either (I do not know if it was provided on the menu and he missed it, or what). Overall was a nice one-time "mom n pop" experience. I ate it quick enough, I forgot to take a picture.

We were really pleased with our breakfast at this diner. The service was amazing. The diner was busy even for a slightly off time (10:30 on Sunday morning) but there was plenty of parking and seating. We had a small wait for the food, but it was well worth it. We each got a variety of different things to try out (pancakes, French toast, omelet, bacon, hash browns, French fries) and everything was delicious. We felt the price point was really good for what we got and we loved the atmosphere as well.

Omelette tasted OK but nothing stand out. Was a simple American cheese and spinach omelette. There is a lot of advertising in this place coffee cups, menu, and seats.

Its been awhile since I've eaten here....and the food was Very Good! The staff is just great, very kind and helpful. And, the prices are pretty average across the line. So, Go there and enjoy good food, and good atmosphere !

Found out this exciting news breakfast place in Rochester. Very affordable and remix of modern and old looking Resturant. The hostess is very sweet and explain each dishes nicely. I tried French toast, home fries, and frittata. The taste is good. Resturant accepts cash. They do accept bank cards (credit and debit) with a minimal charge depending on your bill.

From the outside you might wonder if it's worth going in. I found the curb appeal lacking but when you enter you are greeted with a comfortable and homey sight. Menus are located on the wall at each seat. The service was fast and friendly. Coffee was sub par but I was blown away with the food and was able to try several things. Nutella stuffed French toast, eggs Benedict (of which they have 100 different varieties that rotate weekly), eggs and home fries, and one of their signature sandwiches called a MoFo. This is a sandwich in which the bun is actually two grilled cheese sandwiches on Texas toast. Incredible food. I highly recommend looking past the unfriendly outside and entering for a delicious meal.

Nice, small and cozy diner to pop in and grab some breakfast to start off your day. The setting diner gives you a very old school vibe. The staff was very friendly. The menu is freaking loaded with tons of options where even the pickiest of individuals could find something. The food was good and filling, they give out a good amount of food. Everything is very affordable as well.

I was excited to come back to this place when they started offering vegan options. It’s an entire menu with vegan pancakes, French toast, benedicts, omelette and frittatas. Can’t wait to try everything!! Bonus points for good service and friendly staff!!!

Ordered the Funky plate. I have never eaten something so Greasy and bland in my life. This would make a decent hangover meal, but I don't recommend ordering it while sober.

My family loves this place, the friendly atmosphere and great food. If you weren't there this Sunday you missed out! How many owners do you see cooking on the line?

This is an excellent greasy spoon type of place. If you go here expecting anything different then you'll be disappointed. But if you go here knowing you're going to get some delicious, probably unhealthy food straight off the griddle then you'll be satisfied. The staff are always friendly and easily available for any needs you have.

Very popular diner with an extensive menu and is very affordable. The diner had a nice charm to it and service was overall okay. Our waitress seemed overworked and seemed easily annoyed when we asked for a soda refill. The Charbroil Special is a very good value for what you get. The food is average and they use real eggs. When you get the bill, you bring it to the front to pay.

I like their tuna sandwich with melted cheese. Every time I go there, they are always packed. The service is still awesome even though they are very busy. Highly recommended!

I ordered 3 breakfast plates thru door dash for my family. Food looked great in the pictures. All 3 plates was the same, scrambled eggs with cheese 2 sausage 2 bacon and tater tots. The scrambled eggs was super crunchy. We were literally pulling shells out the eggs. I have pics. And the tator tots was over cooked and was also un edible.

Amazing restaurant! The service and staff were awesome, and the prices were good. The main focus would be the amount of food and drink options that are given. The drinks surprised me. (Hot chocolate, cappuccinos, root beer float, etc.) People obviously like it here since the place is packed with customers. We didn't have a problem with seating at all though. An overall great experience.

Stopped by with my kids for some lunch. Restaurant was packed but we only waited a few minutes to be seated. Food was delicious. Service was quick and very friendly. We'll definitely be back again!

I don’t like diners because they feel kind of trashy. This diner finally does what other diners can’t. This diner is classy and clean. It feels like a very nice restaurant however, the final bill remains low like you would expect at a diner. 10 out of 10 I highly recommend. One of the best diners I’ve ever been to.

i stopped in on my lunch break and told them i didnt have much time. Kerri was sure to get my meal out quickly and Curly’s bubbly energy made this experience great, i wish i had more time to enjoy the meal and vibes! great service. delicious chicken and waffles.

The staff was nice and the restaurant was clean. The food was also very good. However I was a little dismayed at the condition of the maple syrup container. The outside was covered in what I guess was syrup residue. I could scrape it off with my finger. I know they can do better.

We got breakfast here on our way out of town, my partner’s choice (though I was happy enough to oblige). Seated quickly, food was prompt, and server was wonderful throughout our meal: friendly, kind, helpful, professional. The whole meal looked and tasted just as expected, which is to say, basically the ideal traditional American breakfast (thanks in part to mass production factories). I typically prefer smaller, independently owned businesses with more locally sourced ingredients, high ethical & environmental standards for sourcing, processing, etc. (I know, I know… I can already see the eye rolls I’m getting...) But I grew up on chains like Perkins and still appreciate, and enjoy, standout individual locations and the employees that hold them up as such. This one felt like one of those to me. Apparently we came on their weekly free-slice-of-pie day: when my partner ordered a slice, our server let us know about the deal and asked if I’d like a slice, too. We took slices both to go but can now happily report the pie and pumpkin cheesecake slices were delightful! Highlights: Wonderful service. Prices are phenomenal. Bottomless coffee in a slim, tall carafe for 2.99 or 3.99. Free pie!

I enjoy eating at the Perkins in Cortland NY. the food is consistently good, and the atmosphere id friendly. I especially like to go on Tuesdays when Wendy is the server. She is outstanding. Today, May 6, 2025 - Wendy was the only server. when I arrived around 11 am. There was private party in the back oom ( I think that I heard there were 26 people) & the main dining area kept filing up. How Wendy managed to take care of all of us, bring our food to the table while it was hot - is beyond me. I sincerely hope the management at the Cortland Perkins rewards Wendy & appreciates the excellent staff member that she is.

Being elderly we selected from the menu the 1/2 sandwich, bowl of soup along with dessert which was a piece of pie. The food was a pretty good serving size and the pie slices were delicious ! It's a much nicer place to eat than an ordinary fast food place being its right off of Highway 81 in Cortland, New York. I thought it smelt a little musty when we first walked into the back room, so they should address this as to maybe newer carpet or a brighter paint job. Overall good fast service, friendly waitresses and clean.

Breakfast served all day! Best pancakes - never disappoint, great selection of bakery items, friendly staff, excellent service. Highly recommend.

My steak was still moo-ing on the plate. Then the waitress asked me if I wanted my steak recooked along with my other sides and I said yes. Then I got my steak back with only the steak. At least it was cooked this time. Waitress was nice but I was tight about my food. When a guy is hungover I just need some grub on the fly. Not to mention a bunch of old people were talking trash about us at our table.

Over the years I have eaten there with friends and family several times. Almost everytime except once it was good and in my opinion no matter where you go there's bound to be an off day, but overall this establishmentis is consistently good. The food and prices are good. I like to go there often to buy their whole pies, cakes and other baked good when we're having a big family dinner at home. I definitely recommend. However... in my opinion they need to address the parking lot because it's in need of some paving which seems to be common in this town, but as far as the food and the establishment goes I say try it out.
