“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.”

“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.”

“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”

“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!”

“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”

“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 dropped by on a whim after an appointment at the local hospital and I am so very glad I did. The vegan breakfast sandwich was very good and reasonably priced, especially for this area. Now listen, some of these places charge upwards of $12 for a beyond whatever patty on a bun, so seeing the menu here was a sight for sore eyes. I didn't get to try the coffee but they have a wide selection for drip coffee as well as espresso. The selection for the bakery items was also excellent, with vegan options throughout. There was also a good atmosphere, friendly staff, and comfortable seating. Very, very clean. I hope to visit again soon and sincerely wish for the success of this business.”

“East side bakery is absolutely AMAZING! We just moved to the Cortland area and my daughter was celebrating her first birthday. Christine, went above and beyond in my daughter’s cake! The cake was absolutely delicious and everything we had hoped for and more! Christine puts her heart and soul into baking and the design work and it truly shows. We also got a sheet cake that was of course —-delicious! Thank you East Side Bakery for making my daughter’s first birthday one of the best memories for us! We are definitely returning customers and are blessed to have found your bakery! Photo credit to Mackenzie Jo Photography”

“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!”

“It is really good and they are super nice”

“We love trying local breweries and rank Homer Hops among the best of the best. Their beers are awesome and we love that they always have new flavors on rotation.

The food is excellent, we love the pretzels especially. It is easy to access with a nice, relaxing atmosphere and friendly folks. Couldn't ask for more.”

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

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

“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!”

“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”

“Amazing food and the people are super friendly”

“With good prices and cute decor, it’s my favorite coffee place in Cortland. The staff were pleasant and very helpful. Delicious coffee and other items are good.”

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

“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.”

“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+++”

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

“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!”

“Always good, never been disappointed.”

“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!”

“Very good time and very welcoming.”

“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!”

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

“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.”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Fast Service and Hot Coffee at the Drive-Thru! The Cashier/Server was Jared. Great Service, Thanks!”

“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.”

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

“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.”

“Good staff keep up the good work thank you”

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

“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!”

“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.”

“A wonderful work environment! Good food too- Jodie makes the best meat-lovers and BLT pizzas in Central New York! Perfect place to order from if you’re in a group, there’s so much more than pizza. The honey bbq boneless wings are to die for, and I love the Philly cheesesteaks. Definitely the best pizza shop in Cortland.”

“Everything was great besides not recieving the sauce packets that we paid extra for remember you need the sauce. BK you would have been sauced up with five stars all the way across if you didn’t miss the sauce. Other than that, everything was amazing.”

“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.”

“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.”
