The food was very good, along with the service. The live music was nice but a little too loud for it being a small space. I will definitely order from here again.

Great homemade food, great service, fair prices given the quality you get, and great location with plenty of off-street parking! Ma clearly loves taking care of people through her food.Got a new “comfort foods” daily special of biscuits and sausage gravy. HUGE portion with four biscuit halves absolutely covered in a delicious sausage gravy. Biscuits were buttery and flaky and sausage gravy was hearty, well-seasoned, and had just a hint of spice. Special also came with a fountain drink and homemade apple sauce and the total was about $10.Also got an order of fresh cut fries loaded with meat sauce and cheese sauce. Another good sized portion for only $6.

I didn't know what to order, since my favorite meatball toasted cheese is off the menu until fall. MA suggested the triple/double burger. Omg you need 2 hands for this one! I could only eat half. Thank you Ma, you are always so nice and your special touches make your food amazing. ?

This place really has it all. Generous portions, delicious sweets, cute atmosphere, and a delightful staff. I got a lunch special of a Loaded Texas Hot, Fries, Drink and cheesecake dessert for $11 and I couldn't have been more satisfied. They also carry other local products so you can get quite a few treats to go like Gourmet Popcorn and Half-Moons. If you're looking for a quick bite or some treats for a friend or loved one without going broke this is the place

Quick stop, I had a very good hot dog. No public rest rooms.

Nice staff but the food wasn't very good. The grilled cheese didn't seem to be cooked in butter or margarine, maybe an oil. The tomato soup tasted just like Campbells. The chopped cheese didn't seem to have cheese until it was found at the bottom of the sandwich, not mixed in with the meat. The only thing we enjoyed was the fries. We each got a cheesecake to go and my spouse ate one bite of his and I finished mine. Honestly, those cheesecake cupcakes where whack for a place that specializes in cheesecake. Whole cheesecakes sold by the slice are the only way to go.

Everyone was friendly and helpful. Amazing sweet crepe’s with strawberries. Egg and cheese sandwiched on grilled toast was also good. Thank you! Last but not least, cheese cake cupcakes. We selected an assortment- strawberry crunch, cannoli, fruity pebbles, chocolate peanut butter, snickers, s’mores… All of them are deliciously tasty!

Drove an hour here because I saw their page on Facebook. Worth the drive. I ordered a glazed donut which then was cut in half, filled with cheesecake and cherry topping, then topped with whipped cream. Delicious! My husband ordered The Rachel which he loved! Then to end we got a dozen cheesecake cupcakes. Reese’s pb cup, Reese’s pieces, strawberry crumb, chocolate vanilla twist, Andes mint, and regular. So delicious! Please go give them a try, you won’t be disappointed.

Home of the 250 different cheesecakes, and counting. As a matter of fact, if you can come up with your own cheesecake concoction...let them know!On this episode of Dining in The Southern Tier we took a stroll down College Ave. I - wanting someplace different and finding myself wanting to support local businesses more and more, stopped into Ma's Cheesy Dreams & Other Things.The fare consists of hotdogs (qtr. lb. at that) with a myriad of accompaniments to dress your dog to your liking, along with burgers and other flattop grill style meals. I went with the meat sauce mustard and onions, and a side of fries. Everything is cooked to order. The fries taste fresh cut and are reminiscent of a fair or carnival type cut and taste.My wife got the chopped cheese special and really enjoyed the burger being chopped as opposed to cut-in-half like other establishments. The atmosphere is airy, as they have likely just opened. Subtle decorations adorn the walls and windows with opportunities to add more as the business flourishes. There's seating for about 3 families/groups and a couple of quaint locations for the single or couple diners.All-in-all a great experience and I give it 4 stars in atmosphere, customer service. A couple of minor details regarding my meal choice for today:The hotdog could have, and well, should have, stayed on the grill a bit longer. A much more intense sear to get that "pop" from the exterior could have been achieved on that first bite, had the dog cooked a bit longer.The meatsauce had the all too familiar flavors of traditional meat sauce. Unfortunately, a little more salt to the seasoning could have tied the seasonings altogether. It came across a little bland.Do consider this location for your next hamburger or hotdog hankering. And of course, cheesecakes abound this place!
