The food is consistently delicious, fresh, and made just the way you like it. Whether you're there for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, you can count on great meals and even better service. It’s the kind of place where you don’t just come for a bite to eat—you come because it feels like home. Highly recommend the New Munson Diner to anyone looking for a warm, family friendly spot with great food and even better people! 😀 -The Muthig Family“

“Had an amazing lunch on our way back to Ithaca. Everything was fresh, homemade and so flavorful! Folks were very friendly and welcoming, too. This place is a gem!“

“Ok, so since i last visited, the price went up 4x. Parking was almost full, and people were still coming in. It was my first time launching my own boat, on a very busy day.On the launch, my friend was guiding me, but when the time came to pull the boat out, i struggled a little. The owner came out and helped me by guiding my steering. No one got upset, and we managed to be quick about it without unnecessary stress.I can recommend that if you are there on a busy weekend, use the marina, pay the fee, and remove stress from your life.“

“The food and the hospitality there was OUTSTANDING the last 3 times we went there. I have lived here about 25 years and never been there till recently. I wish I had visited there earlier...“

“I just love this place! I haven’t found a bakery this warm and friendly in decades! Not only do they have a mouthwatering selection, the owners are just about the friendliest people ever. This place is a gem!“

“Fabulous dinner, lovely atmosphere. Such a great place!“

“got one of the amazing burgers with fries and I was amazed at how fresh the food was 10 out of 10 recommend and more beer choices then I could recommend“

“We were there twice once last nite for Dinner June 29th and June 30th for breakfast. Both times the food was good and the staff were very friendly.“

“food was delicious, our server was very cheerful and friendly“

“My husband and I have been here at least a half dozen times and we enjoy the food and the service...the waitress refers to herself as "Salty Maryanne"...is she a little salty? Sure but that doesn't bother us...she and my husband are both from Brooklyn so they talk about the old neighborhood. Bottom line is anyone can have an off day...you have no idea what other people are dealing with and they have to come to work and do the best they can do. As a former waitress, I guess I'm just a little more sympathetic than most. I certainly wouldn't trash a restaurant after one experience there but that's just me.“
