Restaurants near Cortland

“Awesome place to go to for so many options of ice cream! My favorite is their better brownie batter waffle cone which has chocolate ice cream, hot fudge, chocolate chips, and brownie batter bites in them in a waffle cone. So addictive & not overpowering with chocolate as you think. People need to know this little ice cream spot more! And great prices.”

“Great food and a wonderful family who run Sam’s. It’s truly a very friendly place where eventually, everyone will know your name.”

“We tried the Philly cheese steak pizza & the Carmel apple dessert pizza tonight. The Philly cheese steak pizza was great! Loved that the pepper and onions were cooked perfect. The crust supported the ample amount of toppings. The mix of cheese hit the spot! Would definitely order again. Same for the dessert pizza! The Carmel apple was perfect for this fall day. Definitely will be back! Thanks again!”

“Ordered the Dubai chocolate and they were getting it in the box as I walked in greeting me with a big smile. I was very pleased with my Brownie as well highly recommended”

“First time here and we loved it. Of course we had to get Saganaki and it was perfect! The Sea Bass was excellent and I highly recommend it. My wife loved the Pastitsio. We had such a great waitress, Ayris, she was so friendly and recommended some great dishes! We will be back!”

“Decided to stop by since I was in the area and always wanted to try some Indian food. Immediately was welcomed and felt at ease when one of the workers helped me out as to what we should get as our first dishes. Ended up getting the butter chicken, while my partner got the tikka masala, both with garlic naan. For drinks we got the mango lassi, while my partner got the strawberry lassi with their meal. Food and drinks came out pretty fast. Everything tasted great! While I have nothing to compare with since this was the first time I had tried Indian food, as a first time trier, everything was very delicious. The two workers and cook would check up on us and asked us how things were, everyone being extremely nice and welcoming. The only thing I had wish I gotten was some rice, but halfway through our meal, the cook came out and gave us some to try with our meals! For free! Exactly what it was missing. We finished our meals very satisfied, and talking amongst ourselves about what else we want try for the next time we come back. We live about 45 minutes away but to us, the drive is worth coming back to try it again.”

“This is the best gluten free pizza I have ever had. House made gf crust. The service was amazing too.”

“We rode our bikes uptown Sycamore and wanted a healthy bite for lunch. We were super happy when we stopped by The Village Restaurant and met the owner, Jean, a sincere and kind person! The chicken and pork skewers were delicious and cooked perfectly. Another "surprise and delight" for us was the homemade tzatziki sauce—oh my!!! Jean recommended her homemade Greek avgolemono soup... this lemon chicken cream soup gets an A+! Water infused with lemon and cucumber was a nice touch. I highly recommend The Village Restaurant. We will be back soon, as this 5-star establishment is extremely memorable!”

“very displeased with the way my situation was handled. I ordered a Denver omelette and something in it was spoiled made me violently ill. I sent the Omelette back in turn they I wanted something else, so I ordered a half order of biscuits and gravy. when we paid for our meal you would think that they would comp The Omelette meal for me being sick and it being spoiled they did not inreturn they charged everything a la carte the pancakes and the hash browns down to the onions. the only thing they took off was the omelette. and then still charged me for the biscuits and gravy also. very very poor service you sell somebody something spoiled. end up sick from the spoiled food and not only did I have to pay monetarily I also paid physically for it. two breakfast meals two coffees one soda one of which we cannot eat $45. we will not be back. however I will say the waitress we had was amazing and it was not her fault. she was the best part of our service there.”

“I was looking for a place to eat on my first day at NIU, noticed this place on google maps. I wasn't sure what to get, so the chef recommended me a shawarma wrap, and let me tell you it was worth it. They also accept husky bucks, so if you are a student that wants to try something new, this is the place.

Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp leading directly off of the pavement next to their shop, and they have a grouping of shorter tables that would be easy to eat at with a wheelchair. There is also ample room to maneuver around in a wheelchair or any other related mobility device. The front door is manual however, so you might have difficulty with it.”
