“I absolutely loved this diner, the food was undeniably delicious, the service was amazing and warming, and the atmosphere felt really comfortable. The workers were really amazing and were great with providing things you needed or wanted (I had some toast with breakfast and they asked what flavor of jelly I like, they were amazing and provided my favorite jelly). If you’re in the area I definitely would recommend that you visit it to give the worker and diner the love and support it needs.To those who worked today in the diner, thank you very much for the amazing food and service. The food was all around delicious and I loved my short time there, thank you for an amazing breakfast and a great start to my day. ☺️P.s the coffee was amazing, it was the best diner coffee I have ever had.-Kaitlyn AckermanParking: Plenty of parking spaces.Kid-friendliness: Amazingly kind workers.Wheelchair accessibility: No steps to enter, makes it easy for those who use a wheelchair.“

“Stopped here on the way to the eclipse in Upstate NY. The food took a little long to come, but the waitress apologized and told us that it was much busier than usual (probably other eclipse seekers). The many Hollywood pics and Marilyn statue were a nice touch. The food was very good although a little pricey for the pasta and broccoli that my wife got (I think $15). I got the haddock sandwich. I would recommend it.“

“Amazing restaurant! 2 day trip in the area and couldn't help but eat dinner there a second time after the first night. They were busy both night but very accommodating. Owner/manager heard my name once and called me by it the entire evening, even remembered the second night! Could not recommend a place more. Amazing food, amazing staff.“

“The owners are friendly, personable people that will get to know you (and your order!) quick. They have breakfast sandwiches, a wide variety of cookies, cupcakes, and ice cream in the warmer months. They do catering with cakes and the like, as well. It's a small place with not much seating, but you don't really need it if you're on the go. My go-to is a sausage, egg & cheese with a hashbrown on a plain bagel, a diet Dr. P, and a cookie (aka the Student Special for $9-10). They also offer day-olds for $1, a real steal. Support a local Cortland business and go get some Frosted!“

Hamburger with Fries

“Stopped by when I was passing through Cortland. It's a cool dive bar. Drinks in solo cups, a juke box, and a dart board. I did not eat here so I cannot comment on the quality of the food. The liquor selection was solid and the bartenders were friendly.“

“Excellent food, excellent service. It was busy when we sat and we left alone (we both like that when at a new place). I had the Cajun and tiger wings. Cajun wings where perfectly done, but just a little too salty for my liking (only negative about the meal). Tiger wings we're just amazing with chilli with pineapple glaze. Prime rib was perfect.“

“Fantastic place! My wife and I went here while at the Greek Oeak resort and we both loved it. I got the Virgil Elk burger which was delicious and not the least bit gamey. My wife got the meatloaf which was moist and full of flavor, as were the mashed potatoes she got on the side. The bacon the meatloaf may have been just slightly overcooked but this didn’t impact how it tasted. Cheese bread and this liquefied garlic butter was served with the meal which was also delicious. The server was attentive and professional. Would definitely come back again. Some of the best food I ever had in Cortland County.Parking: As the restaurant is at a ski resort, parking is shared with the resort. The parking lot was pretty full most of the time, it being a school break.Kid-friendliness: The restaurant is upscale but casual dress code. There were a number of families with kids.“

“Back in my hometown, I used to go to Friendly's with my grandparents and my cousins almost every week, but the Friendly's closed down was I was around 9. So, to say I was excited to see a Friendly's here when I started attending Cortland would be an understatement. The food is extremely nostalgic for me and always manages to make me reminisce on my childhood“

“Food was really good and came in a reasonable time for you to talk to family or friends. Servers were very kind and welcoming. There was a bit of a wait time and restaurant was a little packed but makes sense bc it's prob one of the beat places in Cortland. Atmosphere was really chill and the lights def added to the vibe with the live sports for you to watch right from your table.“
