“The espresso pull I got from my quad shot was amazing. It was light and naturally sweet from the expert barista who made my drink while I enjoyed some local entertainment for a private event. The best coffee I have had in the Cortland & Tompkins area.”

“Have had subs at every food place in Dryden this is by far the best. The rolls are so fresh and soft and the meats are great. Try there steak and cheese with peppers and onions and mushrooms.”

“As a native Southern Californian, I am very impressed with the excellent quality of the many delicious items offered. I never expected such great Mexican food on the east coast! Friendly people, delicious drinks and simply outstanding food. Absolutely everything is made fresh, from salsa on up. Breakfast is equally good, will be coming back for more.”

“We drive from Ithaca for take away. This is the freshest, tastiest Chinese food just like the previous comment says “in the Finger Lakes” we happened to be in The cCortland area hitting Tag Sales& Thrifty. My husband is ordering our dinner as I type. We are vegetarian & Love the sesame tofu & Buddhist delight!! Crisp beautiful veggie eggrolls. And our food is still HOT when we get to Ithaca. I just wish they had garlic eggplant!!”

“I have no complains about this restaurant. I placed my order in the app right in the parking lot. (This is because I forgot my bank card at home) I waited only a few minutes went in and my food was ready. Fast and friendly service. The girls working were very nice and ready to assist.”

“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!”

“Cool vibe with live music. Food was great. Order at counter and they bring out your food. Prices were reasonable except I feel kids meals were overpriced. Beer was cold and good. My only suggestion would be some other drink options. Soda, lemonade, something. There was only a small wine fridge with old fashioned black cherry soda, orange, ginger beer, some sletzer water. Some traditional coke/pepsi etc would be nice.”

“From the cocktails to the coffee wonderful. Had the bread basket loved it Prime rib was great. And the srver Blake was beyond good , great service. Will be back 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”

“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!”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“Amazing food and the people are super friendly”

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