6 Best Chicken Wings near Ithaca

“More importantly: The food was great and all, but the service was next level! Our server was Maddi (I hope I got the spelling right) and she was bomb! She made great recommendations, was extremely polite, always answered my questions with a smile, and worked with the kind of pride you'd expect from the business owners themselves. The food was 5 star but I'd give the service 6! *I'm not crazy about cash only or mask requirements, but that's their choice and the staff was polite about it and I have no complaints!“

“Las pizzas más ricas que he probado!“

“We first visited The Lotus last year during a college tour, and we had such a good experience that we decided to come back this year for move-in day.

The food was just as clean, fresh, and delicious as we remembered. We also really appreciated how kind and welcoming the owner was. I still remembered her warmth from our first visit, and it was nice to see that she was just as friendly this time.

The Lotus has a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere, and the food feels both authentic and comforting. I can understand why so many people mention the friendly service and delicious food in their reviews—we felt the same way.

It’s always nice when a restaurant is just as good the second time around, and The Lotus did not disappoint. If you’re in Ithaca, I highly recommend giving it a try!“

“Great service, exactly as ordered. Very friendly“

“ordered a 32 piece and were not disappointed! got Nashville hot and santa fe. Nashville wasn't very hot but still tasty. wings were great size and cooked perfectly. so juicy. fries also good. just needed a tad more seasoning. 8 out of 10 will order again!“

“Ordered Big Red Zone (chicken bacon ranch) takeout in person. Still tastes pretty good after 15 min walk back to my apartment even though it's lukewarm at this point. Marinara is just the right amount for a calzone although I'd prefer a warm sauce. Menu price $10.75 already includes tax, which is nice for diverse students at Cornell.“
