Restaurants in Cortland

“This place has some of the best food that we have had in a long time!! Highly recommend!!”

“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.”

“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”

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

“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.”

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

“Good food, friendly staff”

“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!”

“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.”

“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!”

“The food is absolutely delicious, authentic Mexican food at its finest and the staff is super friendly especially the owner. Highly recommend. My family and I order their food all the time. I can’t wait for the weather to get nicer so we can dine outside!!”

“Great”

“Always a blast, and some amazing people!”

“Probably one of Cortlands oldest restaurants. The history itself is worth the visit. The service and food are truly amazing. And if you go I highly suggest an Old-fashioned, they are by far the best I have had ever.”

“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.”

“Cute little coffee drive thru with a huge selection. Everyone finds something they love. We make Coffee Mania a destination every day we are in the area and get a bag of beans to take home!”

“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”

“Fun to watch the cider press!”

“Very Cool place close to SUNY Cortland Campus. Excellent drinks and cafe food!! Vegan items specifically identified. Both Almond and Oat Milk available for drinks. We got the Ciabatta breakfast sandwich.. which was Out of This World!! Double layer of ‘egg’ with perfectly spiced sausage and super melty vegan cheese. Baked goods were also exceptional. Vegan Cinnamon Roll with cream cheese topping was deemed by my wife as… “The Best EVER!!” Beautiful hand crafted custom hard wood bar.. as well as Vintage Concert posters that will take you on a trip back in time. Very limited vegan options in the Cortland area.. plug the address not your Apple Maps and make this place your Destination Stop. #Veganuary”

“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”

“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+++”

“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!!”

“went for the first time the other day and OH. MY. GOD. The food was so good, the drinks were great, it was just amamazing. server was super nice, highly recommend.”

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

“Very friendly and helpful staff. Was able to go in and tell them what I was looking for in a shake and they were so knowledgeable.The high protein shake tasted fantastic!”

“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”

“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.”

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

“The food was quite good and came out relatively fast! But there aren't any signs telling you to seat yourself and that you place your table's order from a telephone that is at each table. I have driven out of my way just to go to their restaurant on occasion. It's a CNY staple!”

“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.”

“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!”

“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!”

“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”

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

“Delicious, I ordered wings and pizza and it was very delicious. The hygiene is excellent and the presentation magnificent. The service is friendly and efficient. We love their wings!!”

“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 great. I got the Napoli pizza, which is personal size, as well as some chicken wings. The pizza tasted fresh and was warm. They have some cool things in there such as an archery board to play with as you wait for your food.”

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

“I haven't been here in 5 years . I was so happy to visit. great place to eat. ☆☆☆☆☆ 5 stars to this place.”

“Best pizza around cortland by far! and the blue moon wings, the best!
Only comment I could make is make the sauce and topping and cheese go closer to either edge with less crust, but dude! I’ll def buy another party pack from here and a chicken wing pizza!”

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

“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.”

“Normally I love my iced coffee but what a disappointment when I got 2 coffees they both didn’t have ice and they were room temp at best. $7.54 went down the drain. Why let me order an iced coffee? 🤮 Yuk”

“Excellent food and service in a timely manner. Would recommend to everyone. Love the atmosphere it’s so welcoming. Hoping to rent a room sometime to experience a stay.”

“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.”

“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!”

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

“Good staff keep up the good work thank you”

“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.”
