“We stopped by and tried the donuts & cider. Both were absolutely delicious! I had an apple cider slushy drink which was superb. The caramel apple donut and maple donut were both great but I think maple was my favorite. The customer service was outstanding as well. I highly recommend stopping by and getting some fresh baked goods with your cider.”

“A few weeks ago, I left Midland, MI, on my way to Hillsdale, MI for an adoption ceremony and my temperature gauge read HOT! I nursed my car to the next exit and landed in Ithaca. I stopped to ask people where I should go for service. Hub’s was suggested. I pulled in and Dylan/Dillon and his beautiful wife recommended going to Hearthstone Oven to grab some lunch, while they fixed my car. This restaurant was perfect, and even offered WiFi for this traveler. I enjoyed a delicious special of turkey/potato/stuffing for lunch. I was able to watch family friends adopt 2 precious little girls (Zoom)! The meal was so Yummy, the bathrooms were very clean and I was treated like family! Mary and the other servers were fabulous, kind, and ready to assist with anything I needed. Thank you God, Hearthstone Oven, Mary, and a special thank you to the kind couple that overheard my troubles! Not only did they pay for my lunch, they also asked Mary to give me a $50 bill to help with my car repairs! Ithaca certainly made me feel welcome, cared for, and safe! If I ever break down again, I hope I am near Ithaca! Kerissa”

“Yes, I do recommend Big Top but…last night’s visit wasn’t great. I asked for a small lemon cone, received it. My husband asked for a small creme de minthe, took quite awhile to get it and when he did it had half as much ice cream as mine did. An older lady (owner?) saw it and should have told the young boy who made it to do it again. We paid $8.69 for 2 small cones, and put $1.31 in the tip cup. They need to be more consistent in the size of cones they make.”

“Subway used to be one of my favorite places, but so many buildings are not clean, staff is not friendly, food is not fresh. This one had me so pleasantly surprised! We walked in the door, the gal acknowledged us and said HELLO! Who does that? Our sandwiches were very good, the bread was fresh and the store was clean! Thank you!”

“Used to have full subs, now i dont even get meat in each bite as if they cut the quantity of meat/cheese in half, so sad about this, I wont be ordering anymore, 3 strikes and done. Very bummed. I’d rather see the price raised and food stay packed up.”

“Fast friendly and service, I got a big box of soft shell tacos. For my taste they could have put a little bit more cheese on the tacos but they were good. I didn't have to cook.”
