“Great food & generous servings--very dedicated owners who are there which is the success of this restaurant! Waitstaff excellent and we appreciate every aspect of this business. Thanks for making Cortland a better place!”

“Always go to Hyde's when they're open. Excellent service and always a good filling meal. The Hyde's deluxe burger is my favorite. Such a great staff and Mom does an excellent job making sure everything is perfect”

“Gorgers is easily one of THE BEST restaurants in our area. The food dishes and creativity that goes into them always impress me. Whether it is something as simple as their dressing for their salad or it’s one of their specials, I am always impressed. I also LOVE that they cater to dietary needs and will make any meal they have adhere to them. The staff is super friendly, learn your name, and even know your go to meals. 10 out of 10 recommend.”

“Can't believe last night was the first time I actually ate here. 5 stars across the board....three people for dinner and everyone agreed the food was excellent!! Service was outstanding from being seated, to ordering and receiving our meals. Portions were enough that I brought half of mine home to have the next day. Thanks for a great dining experience, will definitely be back.”

“Phenomenal food! Outstanding customer service! As soon as they found out it was our first time there, they put together a bunch of samples for us to try. Then, while we were eating the delicious food we ordered, they brought out another entire dish of food that they were cooking in the kitchen… just for us to try! The atmosphere was fun and welcoming, immediately making us feel very much at home. As we got ready to leave, they treated us to an order of Baklava, on the house (which was amazing!). You rarely find that level of customer service anymore. We’re definitely looking forward to becoming regulars there in their dining area and at home as we order takeout online.
Fantastic experience all around. Highly recommended!”

“Incredible fresh homemade food that is clearly made with so much love. Kind and generous wait staff! Don’t go through Cornell area without making the time to stop by! We can’t wait to go back. Yum 😋”

“We ordered take out from the Yori House for the first time. We were very happy with our dinner. Everything thing looked so fresh! The Spicy Pork had so much flavor and paired well with the Sweet and Sour Dumplings. We also ordered Spring Rolls and they were very good. We will definitely order again!”

“Great local brewery that delivers on craft beer, atmosphere, and community. The location is great with plenty of space for families/friends to enjoy time together. We love the live music and how welcoming the atmosphere is for families. The food is amazing too!”

“Why a meal my husband and I had today the steak was just cooked how we wanted it. The service was great and I’ve never had before. It’s called honey cake that will satisfy anybody’s sweet tooth around. I recommend it for friends and family. Great job, everyone.”

“Good food, friendly staff”

“Step back in time in this hidden gem! Cocktails were amazing, dinner even more delicious! Service was perfection. Next time we are in town we will be back☺️”

“Great”

“Ambiance... what is it ( look it up). Hollywood has the Best. Wait Staff - Hollywood has the Best. The food is Great and the Owners are Friendly and Visable. Not just the best in Cortland. The Best in CNY.”

“Great breakfast! The waffles were delicious and everyone really enjoyed the bagel sandwiches. The Staff was super efficient and friendly! Highly recommend!”

“Always my go-to! The best pomegranate iced tea in town and the Cali Dreamin bagel is soooo good 🤤 …..now I’m hungry and need to go”

“Only Two Words For This Place “THE BEST” 🧡🎃We miss this place🧡🎃”

“Coffee Mania is an incredible local experience. Between cute seasonal cups that get you a discount in your refills, to affordable coffee, to amazing service enough cannot be said about this invaluable local business. I have been going to Coffee Mania since I was a child and even through Covid they built community and brought smiles to people and animals alike. (I love seeing dogs get their treats!) If you want good coffee, good service, and to do good by supporting a local business, visit the original coffee Mania hut!”

“I have to say thank you to the staff for going the extra mile to find me on social media and sending me a message-I left my debit card in the card reader 😬. They called me during my search. Phew!!!! And…the best iced hazelnut coffee I have ever had.”

“I was recently in the area for my son’s baseball tournament- which they won their age group (14u) stop by for a celebratory treat. Great ice cream and awesome prices!!! Thanks for the hospitality!!”

“Our daughter said the cupcakes were the best she ever tasted! Thank you, Frosted, for the excellent customer service and delicious treats!”

“Amazing food and the people are super friendly”

“My husband and I went last night for dinner. It was absolutely phenomenal. The fish fry and french fries were perfection. The chicken Parm and clam chowder were delicious. Also, the wings were amazing. We truly enjoyed our meal. The waitress was lovely and super helpful in recommending menu items, since we've never eaten there before. We enjoyed our experience so much that we stopped by the bar for a drink before we left. The bartender was wonderful too. Thank you for an absolutely delicious meal and nice dining experience!”

“Met our daughter there for lunch for the first time (none of us were from the area). It was a Thursday and pretty busy. Server was great and food was good. Parking is ok. Better to go after lunch time/before dinner time. We felt the price was good for all the food we got for 3 adults...about $38 or a bit less.”

“This place is great and has natural food and a good selection. The the fact that they follow the Civil Rights Laws and Disabilities Acts to allow people who can't wear a mask and won't is gaining increasing positive attention far and wide. Many businesses have not been complying to the fictitious mandates and questionable narrative we've been superimposed with more and more now. We need to support these businesses who are opening up without any restrictions are growing in numbers and proven to be the most courageous and intelligent. Thank you for recognizing that policy is not law. Judges have been throwing out fines, tickets, and violations whereas the United States justice department has been deploying criminal investigations based on discrimination that carries a $75,000 fine. Knowledgeable veterans with disabilities are aware of this also which is another set of laws. Thank you and you'll go down on the right side of history (regardless of how it's retold) and I personally have spent a small fortune there and we'll make sure many others do also. Keep up the good work!”

“Passing thru Cortland and found this gem. Highly recommend. Great food, service and atmosphere.”

“I like this little family business. It's so welcoming when I walk in. My son is autistic and loud noises bug him badly. But here he loves this place . It's his favorite”

“LOve it! The beer, the whiskey, the slushies, the fire pits, the food truck, the staff, and the BANDS!!”

“cute little diner with good food and ice cream. the workers are very nice and friendly”

“We have been there a couple of times in the last month. Service was excellent. The food was great and their prices are reasonable. Nice friendly place!”

“Really wonderful spot! Dana is incredibly friendly and crafts the finest iced lavender lattes! Reasonable prices, charming decor—it's my preferred coffee spot in Cortland.”

“It is really good and they are super nice”

“The people are awesome hometown people with a warm welcome and good food. I feel right at home ....”

“I consistently find a wonderful clean environment with great food gracious employees & a welcoming atmosphere. They have a creative menu of sandwiches & freshly made bagels. It's become a community hub & the owner works alongside his employees; & mingles with his customers thanking them for their patronage! I give it a total A+++”

“Friday Night Special: Experience Joe Riley’s mustache”

“Hard to comment on atmosphere when the entire street out front was ripped up for construction, but well worth navigating the mud & puddles for the best Lebanese food I've eaten. Hoping to get there again”

“Very good time and very welcoming.”

“Always good, never been disappointed.”

“Plenty of parking. Classic live music venue. Huge dance floor. Wrap around bar. Excellent boaster hut chicken !!”

“We had a great bartender named Sherry..The wings ,chicken sandwich, rueben,onion rings , Mac salad was amazing..I would definitely recommend this place..also very clean and inviting”

“Good .... this is a very well established local bar that's one of the oldest in our community and popular with a specialized segment of the population! Well worth supporting history in the hint that it will be born again sometime soon with the young man who is the son of the originator! Go there.. support it and enjoy yourself while you meet many of the locals!”

“Service was great! Good hit the spot! We will definitely be back! Thank you Dusti for such great service ?”

“I had a wonderful time, the food was amazing and our waitress Bethany took amazing care of us. She was kind and polite and made sure we were more than taken care of!”

“Last minute decision to eat here while visiting SUNY for college tours. Best decision! Great pub feel. Outstanding pizza, especially the gluten free. They have gluten free mac and cheese also, and some apps.”

“I come to whole heart cafe once a week, at least, get a full breakfast and than the market for groceries. My favorite stop for all. :)”

“Best party scene in Cortland hands down. $5 dollar cover on Fridays and the weekends. Can become extremely hot upstairs, I recommend checking your coat during the winter or not bringing one at all.”

“The food was so good! Especially the mac n cheese. There are a lot of delicious options on the menu. Our server was Kayla and she was great! Would definitely come back again.”

“Pros: the pizza is very good, particularly for the area, and the prices seem fair.

Cons: Very limited menu compared to most pizzerias (literally just pizza, wings, salads and a couple sides) and I wasn't crazy about their garlic knots (last time I went they tasted to me like they used jarred garlic.)

If you're looking to get good pizza, I'd say to give this place a try. If you're looking for anything much more than pizza or wings, you might have to try another place.”

“I hadn't been here in ages. Memorial Day weekend with pouring rain and every restaurant was packed and we drive here and only a few cars in the parking lot. The service was great. The waitress was very helpful with my 8 yr old granddaughter. Providing options with smaller portions. Reasonably priced.”

“So im giving 5 stars because I order from here AT LEAST once a week mainly more with my work schedule and its always been fantastic I mean I literally crave it tonight i waited at work for almost an hr and a half just for a pizza which is fine but it was 30 after tip my pizza wasnt even slightly warm and didnt have the extra sauce. Took a bite and it doesnt even taste luke it came from the same place im mega disappointed dude to the past experiences I may try again at some point but right now not a happy customer.”

“Excellent service. Excellent and very fresh food. Very authentic and desserts are wonderful.”

“the steak is the best i’ve ever had. tender and juicy.”

“Good staff keep up the good work thank you”

“They were very fast and efficient! Although it is a small building with little to no seating space, it's mainly all takeout. Fast food, and reasonably cheap prices! (Heavy man with accent on phone, but understandable.)

Vegetarian options: There is vegan and vegetable items on the menu if you are picky.

Dietary restrictions: It can be limited to your choosing.

Parking: In a small plaza

Wheelchair accessibility: Just wheelchair in, wheelchair out.”

“We ordered a pizza to be delivered as we usually do. It was delivered in a decent amount of time as usual but it was so over cooked it was like chewing leather, absolutely horrible. I stopped down a few days later to let them know how bad the pizza was and to show pics of how horrible it was. They stepped to the plate and offered to made us a replacement pizza at no cost. For me this is a place that not only cares about their product but also their customers. With this "A Pizza & More" is still number one my book and the best pizza joint in Cortland County.”

“Hear me out! 10 wings= 1 blue cheese or ranch, but 20 wings= 1 blue cheese or ranch. Please treat your customers better by simply not charging more for what should already come with. It's not rocket science.”

“Trax was a great place to eat in the area, thee food and drinks were great and Kelsey was a great waitress. Would reccomend!”

“First off.. they have a bathroom, but it's out of order .. that's a problem if you bring your kids. The tables looked as if they needed a major cleaning. Food is ok. Not everything on the menu is available. The online ordering needs to be more user friendly.”

“Exactly right, just what Cortland needed! Staff was great and food was excellent ! Nice clean atmosphere.”

“Great place, Arby's has come a long way since I was a kid in the 1970's. It now looks like Wendy's inside. This location is clean and modern. Great service and food took about 5 minutes to be ready. That's fine as it means food is not sitting around in warmers. The beef and cheddar is fantastic! I could eat two if I wasn't watching my weight. My guest had curly fries and a gyro. All excellent!”

“Just a shout out to the awesome people who work at the Cortland Burger King. The food is always fresh and hot. The employees go above and beyond to give great service. I would suggest that anyone who has posted a less than stellar review here....try them again! From my experience...you will be pleasantly surprised. :)”
