“We go to coffee mania all the time. Today I went to get smoothies and asked for an extra cup so I can have my girls share a smoothie and they wanted to charge 1.50 for just a plastic cup. I was not impressed. I’m hoping that this was a once in a life time but I will have to change coffee shops if it keeps happening.”

“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”

“Second visit to these guys and I would recommend them”

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

“Stopped here from out of town. Service was quick and the price was very reasonable.

Would have been 5 stars if the portions were a little bigger. Also outdoor seating was lacking. Ended up having to eat in our car.”

“This was a random stop o the way through upstate NY. It was later in the evening and we were looking for a lighter, but quick meal, and saw they had sushi. Our order consisted of pork fried rice, an eel roll, a dragon roll, and a shrimp tempura with mango. We threw in an order of Crab Rangoon last minute, and the lady taking our order said they have the best Crab Rangoon in the state.
I am giving our experience and the food at this place a full five stars because everything came out absolutely perfect! I'm not sure if I qualify to say these are the best Rangoon's in the state, but I can be certain that they were the best Rangoon I have ever tasted!! 😋
I would highly recommend stopping and giving Arctic bites a try! It will be a place I stop again when I'm in the area.”

“Better burger than other fast food chains at a better price.
There's a minigolf course right next door (same owner, I think?) which makes for a fun afternoon in Cortland.
Both are CASH ONLY! but they have an ATM inside the A&W if you need.”

“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!”

“Great”

“Drive-thru ONLY coffee joint. They have some amazing drinks. Coffee and others, like slushies and tea. Whenever we are in Cortland, we go to 7 Brew instead of Dunkin. Our only complaint is they updated their POS a little bit ago and we lost our favorite order and haven't been able to replicate it yet...and they don't have a mobile app yet.”

“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 shakes are amazing. I love the protein cheat bites.”

“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!”

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

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

“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.”

“Pooles drive in is a lovely gem. Great food, atmosphere and service. The best fish sandwich you can find anywhere.”

“I am beyond blown away with the old world charm, and the old world atmosphere that today we lack this but not this place. I have traveled all the way from Syracuse to come to this restaurant based off the reviews. This restaurant was worth the travel the absolute best meal I have ever had in my life And I eat a lot 🤭. I ordered the chicken riggies and my partner ordered the chicken parm. For our appetizer we ordered the bruschetta. These meals were beyond excellent. I very very highly recommend this great restaurant.
Also Michelle the waitress and bar tender was an absolute delight. Beyond sweet and kind and so fun. I will make this trip to come here so many more times!
Thank you to the restaurant and all its staff for being outstanding”

“It is really good and they are super nice”

“A Cortland Institution!😁”

“Love the chicken wings. Sauces are great. But unless they are running a good special or an all u can eat, they are just overpriced. Don't get me wrong. It tastes great but the value isn't there. I really like coming here for the boneless wings though. It's what keeps me coming back.”

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

“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+++”

“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!”

“I love this restaurant so clean and well maintained. The servers are always nice and on top of everything. Management is the best”

“We went for our 45th anniversary and had a delicious meal. Sophia was our waitress, she was pleasant with a warm friendly smile.”

“Always good, never been disappointed.”

“Very good time and very welcoming.”

“Always great service & smiling faces.”

“Attended Sinatra birthday party on a Sunday afternoon. Lots of fun. They needed more bartenders and servers to accommodate the crowd. Cash only so bring your wad.
Typical college bar otherwise.”

“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. :)”

“Make sure to stop at Brix!!! The grilled vegetable salad is hands down my favorite salad anywhere. I’ve never found another one like it, and I think about it all the time. Every few years when we’re passing through Cortland, we make sure to stop just for this salad! It’s one of those dishes that’s nearly impossible to recreate at home because of the time and effort it takes to perfectly grill all the vegetables. It may be a pizza place, but don’t sleep on the salad—and if you’re not vegetarian, you can add chicken to it too.

It’s also worth noting that the service is phenomenal, and the guys cooking are always so friendly, welcoming, and happy to help. It’s one of those places we make dure to come back to whenever we drive past town.”

“As a Long Island native, I have been on the hunt for a pizza place that reminds me of home. This place is it! The atmosphere, the food…I took a slice and woah! Felt like I ordered a pie at home, fits right in with the places I frequented in Nassau County. My new go to pizza place when I want a slice of Long Island, great job guys! 😄”

“My review is on the scale of what you would expect from a Subway restaurant, not the quality of the food at large, which is... Subway restaurant quality.

On that scale, this Subway location is perfectly average. I've never had any issue getting food from them, service has always been good, everything is kept fairly clean, no big surprises good or bad.”

“The perfect bite. Thin, chewy but crispy crust, flavorful sauce and fresh cheese! What's not to love?
And the late night staff is impeccable. Polite, professional and friendly. All around a great place to grab a bite.”

“If you havent been to Wild Asian Ginger Fusion...you are absolutely missing something. The food is amazing...the service is amazing...the atmosphere is amazing. Do yourself a favor and get the most delicious food in all of Cortland!”

“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 staff is so wonderful!”

“Ordered the lunch deal Tuesday Stromboli and a free drink. Omg it was amazing. I come from an Italian family, my nana would be smiling down on you for that Stromboli like that. It seriously is the best I have ever had. I will definitely be coming back.”

“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.”

“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.”

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

“This is my new go to restaurant for a quick bite to eat. This place has definitely improved. It reminds me of a restaurant in Brooklyn called Rolling Roaster. The sandwiches have been really good as of late. I highly recommend.”

“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”

“Good staff keep up the good work thank you”

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