Restaurants in Elmira

“Excellent subs! I highly recommend The Sub Shop for your next sub!”

“We came in from out of town & this place did not disappoint, we where very well taken care of & there is a certain appreciation they have about their food that gives you a great sense that'll it'll be good before it even comes out. & When it came out it was even better than expected 10/10. Definitely don't miss out on this place if you're in the area!”

“I came in for the first time with a friend shortly before Christmas and enjoyed a delicious lunch along with fantastic service. Although I am local, I can't believe I had never been here! I was also lucky enough to recently receive a gift card from my Daughter & Son in Law. I brought my hubby in today for his first time & he loved it as well. He had the bowl of French Onion Soup & Roast Beef sandwich. I had the Creamy Potato Soup and the Turkey Wrap. Both of our soups were hearty, full of flavor, and so savory. He enjoyed his Roast Beef on Rye with Horsey Sauce and my Turkey Wrap was so DELICIOUS 😋 The staff so very friendly & accommodating. The Cafe is decorated beautifully with lots of beautiful plants & decor. It's a perfect spot to take a little break from life with great meals, good people, and a perfect feeling of hometown comfort”

“I was looking forward to hard ice cream but none of the flavors sounded good. I like peanut butter and they had lots with peanut butter and they had lots of other good flavors just nothing i wanted. I was very happy with my sundae tho. My partner got an orange vanilla swirl cone. He did not like it.”

“My son has been coming here for a while and told me it's the best food and he was right. We came from Corning because the food is so good definitely worth the drive for sure. it's been a while since I've been to a restaurant that I felt completely at home. the cheeseburger and fries were fresh and absolutely delicious. It was also huge. I brought half home. I will definitely be going back. my new go to place and I highly recommend all go. you won't be disappointed. it is like family.”

“Great food, would definitely visit again”

“Food was TITS! (Good) I will return.”

“I got the Mediterranean flatbread and it was on the money. My wife got the pulled pork without the peppers and toppings and she absolutely loved it. Spot on. And we sat upstairs outdoors and it was a beautiful evening.”

“I’m giving 4 stars for the hours you’re open …. 8:15pm it was closed down!!! That’s crazy. But I’m giving 5 stars for Mindy Lynne’s purple stretch workout pants!”

“We save Livs for special dinners. Tonight (Wednesday August 6th, 2025) was no exception, Our server, Jose was amazing. Food was very generous (will eat for Friday night dinner).”

“EVERYTHING IS THE BEST!!!!”

“My husband took me to the Cakery for our anniversary 12/23/2025. I had never been there before and what a quaint and homey place to do something so different, eat sweets and forget the whole meal. Miss Lisa made the most superb cake for us, white cake and divine white icing with designs with gold in them which you can eat. There is only one other bakery that made cake like this and unfortunately went out of business long ago. Thrilled with Miss Lisa's cake. Seeming as we moved up here from New Orleans my favorite dessert is creme brulee. Unable to find the real dessert I was totally surprised when Miss Lisa made the dessert which put me back to the dessert of New Orleans. So delicious. This was a totally charming way to spend our anniversary, Miss Lisa and her brother were fantastic hosts and that evening will forever be in the top part of my experiences. If you have not been there, go!! We plan on making it a special place place to go not only for the desserts but the two people who made it possible for a unique and magical evening. They make you feel like family.”

“What a cute place! The lady who waited on me was so sweet, and gave me great recommendations :) The Oatmazing Berry Acai is delicious!”

“The first restaurant I ever ate at that I left hungry. My friends and I go on my days off. I had not eaten all day. It is the only place that I can get liver and onions. The cook always does an amazing job. Just right, not tough. I'll recommend you every time for quality. I politely asked my server if I could order extra meat. I said I would GLADLY pay more if I could be accommodated. I was flatly told that she didn't see how that was possible, she couldn't see how she could bill for it. I was offered an extra salad if I was that hungry. My request was not forwarded to her supervisor or owner. This was on a Friday night and the place smelled amazing! I was there for the meat and my stomach was rumbling. I wasn't even offered the option to purchase two meals! I payed my bill, four adults and deserts. It was over $121.00. I left angry with myself that I barely tipped 10%. I am a generous tipper. Usually over 20%. Really! You let me leave there still hungry?”

“Great wings, fabulous house made chips, and even better service. They went above and beyond to make my dad’s birthday party a great time for all.”

“1157 is the Best! Not only does the Chef, Andy prepare fabulous food, the wait staff is very knowledgeable and friendly and can help you make choices that will really suit your tastes. The Lobster Bisque I had for Valentines was Fabulous and Andy’s soups are always hearty and satisfying. This is truly a fine dinning or anytime treat in Elmira.”

“Love this little tavern. Been going there for yrs.”

“Keri is the hands down the best. Very personable and a great bartender. 11 out 10 experience every time.”

“When the only waitress, who's also a bartender and maybe the owner, can actually seat you, you're looking at a good 20 minutes. She comes back fifteen minutes later for drinks and to take the order. We waited literally 40 minutes to get our orders in. After that, we had to chase her down for drink refills and to get the check. She's very nice but she's the only one working all three positions each time we've been there. I don't know why there's no extra help. The food is very good and affordable. Was served hot and was delicious.”

“Love how nice they are at the Horseheads, NY Location. I know it's crazy but my favorite thing to order is a peanut butter & banana Milkshake!”

“Been craving chicken wings and onion rings. Found my new favorite place to get them!”

“Best wings EVER!! Food is amazing. The bartender,cook everyone that seemed to have a hand in making this place run were all very nice. Definitely recommend. We’ll be returning when we are back in town.”

“Great small ice cream stand. We past many on The way here. Glad we did. Great taste and awesome customer service. Will be our go to when we are back in the area.”

“First timer, soon to be long timer..... Couldn't have enjoyed my hot dog and fries more.”

“Dinner was absolutely fantastic last night! Paige was wonderful and it was great to see Vicki. That balsamic dressing is so good!!! Seafood pasta was amazing!”

“Awesome venue! The owners and staff made us feel at home as soon as we walked in. The bartender’s were super knowledgeable and drink options amazing. The vibe was both welcoming and fun. And, the DJ had me dancing all night! I look forward to visiting again! WMC North is a 10 out of 10!!!!”

“Food is delicious. Atmosphere is comfortable beautiful views Friendly and prompt service I give restaurant 5 stars”

“🐲I have dinned at Beijing Garden Szechuan & Hunan Cuisine since they opened in the 80's Classic Area Asian Cuisine.”

“Ordered the fish fry for the first time but it won’t be the last time. There was a big piece of crispy fish (with a side of tarter), a large portion of French fries, a hearty serving of creamy mac & cheese plus a cup of cole slaw. EVERYTHING was yummy!”

“Best Wings and Burgers around!”

“The food truck was honestly amazing. From the moment I walked up, the service was super friendly and welcoming, which already made a good impression. The food came out quick, fresh, and smelled incredible. Every bite was packed with flavor, and you can tell they really care about the quality of what they’re making. The portions were great for the price, and everything tasted homemade, not rushed or sloppy like some places. The whole vibe of the truck was just fun and chill, and it made the experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to everyone I know💯”

“we ordered 2 of the pizza deals and chared wings. This isn't our first time. It's very good and worth every penny.”

“full of flavor better than KFC and Popeyes for shure”

“Where do I start with how much I appreciate the service, kindness and utmost professionalism from the customer service staff member, Jenn. She is literally the face of this store. She is so helpful and knowledgeable and treats everyone so wonderful. Every interaction I have had with her has been memorable. Please give her the recognition she deserves. The staff at the cafe are fantastic as well!”

“Great service maintaining drinks, could use a pool table for sure. 3.5 stars to be real due to nothing to do other than order drinks and fight for a spot on the jukebox.”

“We love Pudgie's! Best pizza hands down. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Pizza is made really fast and fresh. The truck drivers are alwsys in and out and they are a little loud and demanding but the staff handles them so well and always has smiles.”

“tremendous tasting meat sauce best hot dogs and hamburgers and cheeseburgers in the area”

“I can't believe we waited so long to try this place! We had a family meal on Saturday night and everything was amazing. The ambiance is speakeasy-ish and awesome, the food and beverages were amazing and the service truly knocked it out of the park. I cannot say enough good things ... we will be back!”

“Is this the one by Edison High School? Got an Uber eats order and the food was good, I got the sandwich I usually order from the Madison Avenue one and hash browns. My only complaint is that the hash browns were very soggy and not crispy like Madison Ave but over all good food and I requested less ice for my drink and they put extra ice.”

“If you're ready to have fun you're in the right place if you're ready to relax you're in the right place if you're ready to read you're in the wrong place ENJOY YOUR VISIT 💯”

“Very nice bar with a great menu.Atmosphere is lively with pool table and darts off to side of bar making it more private for patrons.CHICKEN WING SPECIAL WEDNESDAYS WITH BLEU CHEESE AND CELERY. $$$$$7.00 AWESOME JOB FOLKS.”

“Prices were a bit high but the food was good

Parking: Plenty of parking and has a drive thru window. Was a bit busy but that was expected because they have been out of the area a while.”

“This place has a new manager & the food is always fresh when I go in for my order. The area is not all that great but the staff is amazing which makes up for it.”

“welcoming atmosphere. great people”

“Hit or miss! We usually enjoy their General Tso's chicken. Sorry to say it, but I don't care for their Egg Foo Young at all, and at most places,not is one of my favorite dishes. On top of preparation issues, it is served with an odd sauce that is NOT the traditional brown sauce most places serve with it. Great egg rolls, when cooked properly. Unfortunately, fried items are often greasy due to fryer temps being too low. Bland Lo Mein. Great Wonton and Eggdrop soups. Really good spareribs. Consistency is an issue, but still, best place we have found in the area.”

“full of flavor better than KFC and Popeyes for shure”

“Great food and service. Wings and burgers are top notch.”

“First time coming to Elmira New York. We had no idea the food was so delicious here. We stopped in to this cute little mom and pop shop pizza place and everything looked so good that we couldn't choose just one thing. The owner treated us like family and made these out of owners feel like they were home. The mozerrela sticks were the best we've ever had, thick, ooey gooey cheese, perfectly crispy and fresh delicious dipping sauce. We couldn't decide if we liked the garlic, sausage, or Supreme pizza better. Just get them all! The hot wings and BBQ wings were 💣! We feel like we made a lifelong friend and new favorite spot to bring the family. The owner you can tell truly loves the people that come in and puts love into his food as well.”

“AGAIN, my order was messed up. Ordered a 1/4 chicken dinner with strawbwrry shortcake. 2 sides were french fry and cole slaw. NO COLE SLAW!”

“We got to Bernie Murray's early for dinner. The bartender asked if we would like to wait so we did. She brought us drinks, then came back 5 min later saying the cook is ready to start cooking if we would like to eat early, so we did. Fish was good, my piece was rather thin and greasy, my partner was happy with his. Might go back for there specialty chicken wings.”

“big smile from window girl. acted as though it was a pleasure to serve me.”

“Great food and fun times. Ruth is the best!”

“the best chicken wings since they were $5 a dozen as a kid HANDS DOWN THE BEST WINGS AND HOMEMADE BLEU CHEESE COMBINATION.. MILD EXTRA CRISPY EXTRA SIDE OF BLEU CHEESE ALSO *******************************************”

“This sub shop has great subs, great service and great potential. Had they the means to toast their subs like the meatball and steak and cheese, they could take it to the next level.

As it stands, the people working here are courteous, helpful and dedicated, the food is good, the prices very reasonable, and the service is very good. I've become a patron. I wish they had an oven to bake or toast their hot subs to perfection.”

“Thank you so much Trisha for coming through for us for our wedding rehearsal dinner... 12 dozen wings perfectly prepared. They were great, on time and completely affordable. We love Master K's! Great food, Great people at an affordable price! Support Local...”

“The manager, John Lynch is very personable. On the weekends we make visits to Panera and he is very gracious and happy to see us. The facility is always clean and welcoming. We have been to other Panera locations but nothing compares to the tight ship John Lynch runs and does it in a matter that he is respected by his employees. Panera is fortunate to have him.”

“Great steak subs philly style. Wife and I love the jalapeño fries. I never had any bad instances of orders or other problems always courteous And friendly and sometimes very busy but worth the wait. 5stars from my wife and I!”

“Take out I got the shits 2xs I ate enchiladas beans and rice on Valentines day I ate some and I ate the rest the 15th. Both nights and this morning I have the shits thanks. My stomach hurts it's flopping I'm not happy. I get this same meal every year for my wedding anniversary and this year the taste was off . Now I know why. I'm very disappointed 😞”

“The restaurant was busy but our drinks & meals were delivered without delay. Our server, Bonnie was polite & attentive, & cute as a button. An enjoyable experience”
